PARSIPPANY, N.J., May 13, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Embecta Corp. ("embecta") (NASDAQ:EMBC), one of the largest pure-play diabetes care companies in the world following its April 1, 2022, spin off from Becton, Dickinson and Company ("BD"), today reported financial results for the three- and six-month periods which ended March 31, 2022, and provided financial guidance for the last six months of the fiscal year ending September 30, 2022.

"Our global team successfully executed the spin off from BD while meeting our commitments and maintaining the high level of service that our customers and the millions of people with diabetes that use our products deserve and expect," said Devdatt "Dev" Kurdikar, Chief Executive Officer of embecta. "Listing the independent company's stock on Nasdaq on April 1 was an inspiring and unifying day for our team around the world. It also marked the mid-point of a fiscal year in which our team has faced unprecedented global supply chain disruptions, inflationary pressures, continuing COVID-19 impacts, and geopolitical uncertainties. With the launch of embecta behind us, we are now focused on navigating these challenges while building all the capabilities required as an independent company and pursuing our strategic priorities that will allow us to progress towards our vision of a life unlimited by diabetes."

The second quarter and first half of fiscal year 2022 and 2021 results described below are based on carve-out accounting principles, derived from the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and accounting records of BD. These condensed combined financial statements reflect the historical results of operations, financial position and cash flows of BD's Diabetes Care Business as they were historically managed in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). In addition, these condensed combined financial statements include general corporate expenses of BD and shared segment expenses for certain support functions that are provided on a centralized basis within BD and which were not historically allocated to the BD Diabetes Care Business. Nonetheless, these financial statements do not include all the actual expenses that would have been incurred had embecta been a standalone public company during the periods presented.

Second Quarter Fiscal Year 2022 Results:

Revenues by geographic region are as follows:

	Three months ended March 31,
*Dollars in millions*					Increase/(decrease)
								As Reported		Constant Currency
		2022		2021	$			%		%
United States	$	139.8	$	148.4	$	(8.6	)	(5.8	)%	(5.8	)%
International		134.7		135.8		(1.1	)	(0.8	)	3.6
Total	$	274.5	$	284.2	$	(9.7	)	(3.4	)%	(1.3	)%

Our revenues decreased by $9.7 million, or 3.4%, to $274.5 million for the second quarter of 2022 as compared to revenues of $284.2 million for the second quarter of 2021. Changes in our revenue are driven by the volume of goods that we sell, the prices we negotiate with customers and changes in foreign exchange rates. Of this decrease, $6.0 million was attributable to unfavorable effects from foreign currency translation primarily in countries with revenues denominated in Euros. Volume unfavorably impacted our revenues by approximately $3.7 million, for the three months ended March 31, 2022, as compared to the prior period. The decrease in volume was primarily driven by customers in the U.S. and Europe.

Six Months Fiscal Year 2022 Results:

Revenues by geographic region are as follows:

	Six months ended March 31,
*Dollars in millions*					Increase/(decrease)
								As Reported		Constant Currency
		2022		2021	$			%		%
United States	$	290.7	$	297.9	$	(7.2	)	(2.4	)%	(2.4	)%
International		273.1		271.6		1.5		0.6		3.1
Total	$	563.8	$	569.5	$	(5.7	)	(1.0	)%	0.2	%

Our revenues decreased by $5.7 million, or 1.0%, to $563.8 million in the first six months of 2022 as compared to revenues of $569.5 million in the first six months of 2021. Changes in our revenue are driven by the volume of goods that we sell, the prices we negotiate with customers and changes in foreign exchange rates. Of this decrease, $6.9 million was attributable to unfavorable effects from foreign currency translation primarily in countries with revenues denominated in Euros and to a lesser extent unfavorable price and a decrease in volume in the U.S. This was offset by an increase in volume in certain emerging markets, which consist of countries within Eastern Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Latin America, Central and Southeast Asia as well as Mainland China.

Second-Half Fiscal Year Financial Guidance:

For the last six months of fiscal year 2022, the Company expects:

Total revenue of approximately $555 million, representing a decrease of approximately 7.0%, as compared to total revenue of $596 million for the last six months of fiscal year 2021. Excluding the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, total revenue is expected to decrease approximately 3.5% during the last six months of fiscal year 2022, as compared to the last six months of fiscal year 2021.
- Contract manufacturing revenue of approximately $15 million during the last six months of fiscal year 2022, as compared to none during the last six months of fiscal 2021.
Non-GAAP gross margin for the last six months of fiscal year 2022 in the "low-60%s".
- Non-GAAP gross margin includes the impact of contract manufacturing revenue which is expected to generate gross margin in the high-single digit percent area, as well as the impact of procurement of cannulas under a long-term supply agreement from BD.
Expense of approximately $35 million associated with transition services agreement activities with BD.
Adjusted EBITDA margin for the last six months of fiscal year 2022 in the "low-30%s".

We are unable to present a quantitative reconciliation of our expected adjusted gross margin, 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 certain 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 Combined Statements of Income.

This share amount is utilized for the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share for all periods presented prior to the spin-off. For the three and six months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, these shares are treated as issued and outstanding for purposes of calculating historical earnings per share.

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, as further defined below, and (iii) Constant Currency revenue growth. 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, shareholders 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. Additionally, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are important metrics for debt investors who utilize debt-to-EBITDA ratios. These non-GAAP financial measures are not intended to be, and should not be, considered separately from, or as an alternative to, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

We believe EBITDA is an important valuation measurement for management and investors given the effect non-cash charges such as amortization related to acquired intangible assets and depreciation of capital equipment have on net income. Additionally, we regard EBITDA as a useful measure of operating performance and cash flow before the effect of interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and as a complement to operating income, net income and other GAAP financial performance measures. We define adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA excluding certain items that affect comparability of operating results and the trend of earnings. These adjustments are either non-cash or irregular in nature, may not be indicative of our past and future performance and are therefore excluded to allow investors to better understand underlying operating trends. The following are examples of the types of adjustments that are excluded: (i) share-based compensation, (ii) impairment losses incurred, (iii) separation costs associated with our spin-off from BD, and (iv) other significant items management deems irregular or non-operating in nature. We use adjusted EBITDA when evaluating operating performance because we believe the exclusion of such adjustments is necessary to help provide an accurate measure of on-going core operating results and to evaluate comparative results period over period.

For the three and six month periods ended March 31, 2022, the reconciliation of net income to EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA was as follows:

	Three Months Ended March 31,				Six Months Ended March 31,

(1) Relates to spin-off costs incurred during the three and six month periods ended March 31, 2022.

(2) Relates to impairment charges incurred during fiscal year 2021.

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 quarter. 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 and six month periods ended March 31, 2022, the reconciliation of revenue growth to Constant Currency was as follows:

	Three months ended March 31,
*Dollars in millions*		2022		2021	Total Change	Estimated FX Impact	Constant Currency Change
