First Quarter Fiscal Year 2024 Results:
Revenues by geographic region are as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Three months ended December 31, |
Dollars in millions | | | | Increase/(decrease) |
| | | | | | | As Reported | | Constant Currency |
| 2023 | | 2022 | | $ | | % | | % |
United States | $ | 148.6 | | | $ | 149.3 | | | $ | (0.7) | | | (0.5) | % | | (0.5) | % |
International | 128.7 | | 126.4 | | 2.3 | | | 1.8 | | | 0.0 | |
Total | $ | 277.3 | | | $ | 275.7 | | | $ | 1.6 | | | 0.6 | % | | (0.3) | % |
The Company's revenues increased by $1.6 million, or 0.6%, to $277.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2023 as compared to revenues of $275.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2022. Changes in revenues are driven by the volume of goods that it sells, the prices it negotiates with customers and changes in foreign exchange rates. The increase in revenues was driven by $2.3 million associated with the positive impact of foreign currency translation primarily due to the weakening of the U.S. dollar and $3.4 million of favorable changes in price. This was partially offset by a $2.1 million decrease in contract manufacturing related to sales of non-diabetes products to BD and $2.0 million of unfavorable changes in volume.
Fiscal Year 2024 Updated Financial Guidance:
For fiscal year 2024, the Company now expects:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Dollars in millions, except percentages and per share data | | Current | | Previous (1) |
Revenues | | $1,094 - $1,116 | | $1,085 - $1,105 |
As Reported (%) | | (2.4%) - (0.4%) | | (3.0%) - (1.0%) |
Constant Currency (%) | | (2.0%) - 0.0% | | (2.0%) - 0.0% |
F/X (%) | | (0.4)% | | ~ (1.0)% |
Contract Manufacturing | | $2 - $5 | | $0 - $5 |
Adjusted Gross Margin (%) | | 63.0% - 64.0% | | 63.0% - 64.0% |
Adjusted Operating Margin (%) | | 23.75% - 24.75% | | 23.75% - 24.75% |
Adjusted Earnings per Diluted Share | | $1.95 - $2.15 | | $1.90 - $2.10 |
Adjusted EBITDA Margin (%) | | 29.5% - 30.5% | | 29.5% - 30.5% |
(1) Previous guidance was issued on November 21, 2023.
We are unable to present a quantitative reconciliation of our expected adjusted gross margin, expected adjusted operating margin, expected adjusted earnings per diluted share, expected adjusted EBITDA and our expected adjusted EBITDA margin as we are unable to predict with reasonable certainty, and without unreasonable effort the impact and timing of any one-time items. The financial impact of these one-time items is uncertain and is dependent on various factors, including timing, and could be material to our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

About Non-GAAP financial measures
In evaluating our operating performance, we supplement the reporting of our financial information determined under GAAP with certain non-GAAP financial measures including (i) earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (“EBITDA”), (ii) Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin, (iii) Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Gross Profit Margin, (iv) Constant Currency revenue growth, (v) Adjusted Operating Income and Adjusted Operating Income Margin (vi) Non-GAAP Pre-tax Income and, (vii) Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted earnings per diluted share. These non-GAAP financial measures are indicators of our performance that are not required by, or presented in accordance with, GAAP. They are presented with the intent of providing greater transparency to financial information used by us in our financial analysis and operational decision-making. We believe that these non-GAAP measures provide meaningful information to assist investors, stockholders and other readers of our consolidated financial statements in making comparisons to our historical operating results and analyzing the underlying performance of our results of operations. However, the presentation of these measures has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for the company’s results as reported under GAAP. Because not all companies use identical calculations, the presentations of these non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. The Company uses non-GAAP financial measures in its operational and financial decision making, and believes that it is useful to exclude certain items in order to focus on what it regards to be a meaningful alternative representation of the underlying operating performance of the business.

(4)Represents stock-based compensation expense recognized during the period associated with the incremental value of converted legacy BD share-based awards and one-time sign-on equity awards granted to certain members of the Embecta leadership team in connection with the separation from BD. For both the three months ended December 31, 2023, and 2022, $1.3 million and $1.9 million is recorded in Selling and administrative expense, respectively.
(5)Represents business optimization and severance related costs associated with standing up the organization recorded in Other operating expenses.
(6)Represents amounts due to BD for tax liabilities incurred in deferred jurisdictions where BD is considered the primary obligor.
Each reporting period, we face currency exposure that arises from translating the results of our worldwide operations to the U.S. dollar at exchange rates that fluctuate from the beginning of such period. A stronger U.S. dollar, compared to the prior-year period, resulted in an unfavorable foreign currency translation impact to our revenues as compared to the prior-year period. We evaluate our results of operations on both a reported and a Constant Currency basis, which excludes the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates by comparing results between periods as if exchange rates had remained constant period-over-period. As exchange rates are an important factor in understanding period-to-period comparisons, we believe the presentation of results on a Constant Currency basis in addition to reported results helps improve investors’ ability to understand our operating results and evaluate our performance in comparison to prior periods. We calculate Constant Currency percentages by converting our current-period local currency financial results using the prior-period foreign currency exchange rates and comparing these adjusted amounts to our current-period results. These results should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, results reported in accordance with GAAP. Results on a Constant Currency basis, as we present them, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies and are not measures of performance presented in accordance with GAAP.
For the three month period ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the reconciliation of revenue growth to Constant Currency was as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Three months ended December 31, |
Dollars in millions | 2023 | | 2022 | | Total Change | | Estimated FX Impact | | Constant Currency Change |
Total Revenues | $ | 277.3 | | | $ | 275.7 | | | 0.6 | % | | 0.9 | % | | (0.3) | % |

Safe Harbor Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains express or implied "forward-looking statements" as that term is defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and other securities laws. These forward-looking statements concern our current expectations regarding our future results from operations, performance, financial condition, goals, strategies, plans, achievements, and anticipated product clearances, approvals and launches. These forward-looking statements are subject to various known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, and you should not rely upon them except as statements of our present intentions and of our present expectations, which may or may not occur. When we use words such as “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “intends,” “plans,” “pursue,” “will” or similar expressions, we are making forward-looking statements. For example, embecta is using forward-looking statements when it discusses its fiscal 2024 financial guidance and investing in growth, including advancing the development of our hybrid closed loop insulin delivery system. Although we believe that our forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, our expected results may not be achieved, and actual results may differ materially from our expectations. In addition, important factors that could cause actual results to differ from expectations include, among others: (i) competitive factors that could adversely affect embecta’s operations; (ii) any inability to extend or replace the services provided by BD under the Transition Services Agreement, the Logistics Services Agreement and other transaction documents; (iii) any failure by BD to perform its obligations under the various separation agreements entered into in connection with the separation and distribution; (iv) any events that adversely affect the sale or profitability of embecta’s products or the revenues delivered from sales to its customers; (v) increases in operating costs, including fluctuations in the cost and availability of raw materials or components used in its products, the ability to maintain favorable supplier arrangements and relationships, and the potential adverse effects of any disruption in the availability of such items; (vi) changes in reimbursement practices of governments or private payers or other cost containment measures; (vii) the adverse financial impact resulting from unfavorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates, as well as regional, national and foreign economic factors, including inflation, deflation, and fluctuations in interest rates; (viii) the impact of changes in U.S. federal laws and policy that could affect fiscal and tax policies, healthcare and international trade, including import and export regulation and international trade agreements; (ix) any new pandemic, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, or any geopolitical instability, including disruptions in its operations and supply chains; (x) new or changing laws and regulations, or changes in enforcement practices, including laws relating to healthcare, environmental protection, trade, monetary and fiscal policies, taxation and licensing and regulatory requirements for products; (xi) the expected benefits of the separation from BD; (xii) risks associated with embecta’s indebtedness; (xiii) the risk that ongoing dis-synergy costs, costs of restructuring and other costs incurred in connection with the separation from BD will exceed our estimates of these costs; (xiv) the risk that it will be more difficult than expected to effect embecta’s full separation from BD; (xv) risks associated with not completing strategic collaborative partnerships and acquisitions for innovative technologies, complementary product lines, and new markets; and (xvi) embecta’s ability to obtain clearance from the FDA of any product; (xvii) its ability to market and sell such products successfully; (xviii) its ability to anticipate the needs of people with diabetes; (xix) its ability to successfully complete clinical trials, obtain regulatory clearance and obtain approvals for its products; (xx) its ability to manufacture such products in a cost-effective manner, obtain appropriate intellectual property protection for such products, gain and maintain market acceptance of such products, secure distribution channels, and obtain access, coverage and reimbursement for such products; (xxi) future business decisions made by embecta and its competitors; and (xxii) the other risks described in our periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including under the caption “Risk Factors” in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, as further updated by our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q we have filed or will file hereafter.
