INTEGER HOLDINGS CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
(1.) BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Integer Holdings Corporation (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, “Integer” or the “Company”) is a publicly-traded corporation listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “ITGR.” Integer is a medical device outsource manufacturer serving the cardiac rhythm management, neuromodulation, orthopedics, vascular, advanced surgical and portable medical markets. The Company provides innovative, high-quality medical technologies that enhance the lives of patients worldwide. In addition to medical technologies, the Company develops batteries for high-end niche applications in the energy, military, and environmental markets. The Company’s customers include large multi-national original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”) and their affiliated subsidiaries.
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in accordance with the rules and regulations of the United States ("U.S.") Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and do not include all of the disclosures normally required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) as contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. Accordingly, these condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022.
In the opinion of management, the condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results of the Company for the periods presented. The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results or trends that may be expected for the fiscal year as a whole. The condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared using U.S. GAAP, which require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, certain components of equity, sales, expenses, and related disclosures at the date of the financial statements and during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates.
The third quarter and first nine months of 2023 ended on September 29 and consisted of 91 days and 272 days, respectively. The third quarter and first nine months of 2022 ended on September 30 and consisted of 91 days and 273 days, respectively.
Trade Accounts Receivable - Factoring Arrangements
During the first nine months of 2023, the Company entered into receivable factoring arrangements, pursuant to which certain receivables may be sold to financial institutions without recourse in exchange for cash. Transactions under the receivables factoring arrangements are accounted for as sales under ASC 860, Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets, with the sold receivables removed from the Company’s balance sheet. Under these arrangements, the Company does not maintain any beneficial interest in the receivables sold. Once sold, the receivables are no longer available to satisfy creditors in the event of bankruptcy. Sale proceeds are reflected in Cash flows from operating activities on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Factoring fees are recorded in Selling, general, and administrative expenses in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss). During the three and nine months ended September 29, 2023, the Company sold, without recourse, accounts receivable of $47.1 million and $97.4 million, respectively. Factoring fees were $0.3 million and $0.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 29, 2023, respectively.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company considers the applicability and impact of all Accounting Standard Updates (“ASU”) issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”). The Company evaluated all recent accounting pronouncements issued, including those that are currently effective, and determined that the adoption of these pronouncements would not have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company. There have been no new or material changes to the significant accounting policies discussed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, that are of significance, or potential significance, to the Company.

(2.) BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS
On April 6, 2022, the Company acquired 100% of the equity interests of Connemara Biomedical Holdings Teoranta, including its operating subsidiaries Aran Biomedical and Proxy Biomedical (collectively “Aran”), a recognized leader in proprietary medical textiles, high precision biomaterial coverings and coatings as well as advanced metal and polymer braiding. Aran delivers development and manufacturing solutions for implantable medical devices. Consistent with the Company’s strategy, the combination with Aran further increases Integer’s ability to offer complete solutions for complex delivery and therapeutic devices in high growth cardiovascular markets such as structural heart, neurovascular, peripheral vascular, and endovascular as well as general surgery. The Company funded the purchase price with borrowings under its Revolving Credit Facility. Aran is included in the Company’s Medical segment.
The total consideration transferred was $141.3 million, which includes an initial cash payment of $133.9 million ($129.3 million net of cash acquired) and $7.4 million in estimated fair value of contingent consideration. The contingent consideration represents the estimated fair value of the Company’s obligation, under the purchase agreement, to make additional payments of up to €10 million ($10.9 million at the exchange rate as of April 6, 2022) based on Aran’s achievement of 2022 revenue growth milestones. The earn-out period ended on December 31, 2022 and, in accordance with the terms of the share purchase agreement, full payment was made in April 2023. See Note 13 “Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements” for additional information related to the fair value measurement of the contingent consideration.
The cost of the acquisition was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their estimated fair value at the date of the acquisition. The following table summarizes the final fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed (in thousands):

Senior Secured Credit Facilities
On September 2, 2021, the Company entered into a credit agreement (the “2021 Credit Agreement”), governing the Company’s senior secured credit facilities (the “Senior Secured Credit Facilities”). As of December 31, 2022, the Senior Secured Credit Facilities consisted of a five-year $400 million revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”), a five-year “term A” loan (the “TLA Facility”) and a seven-year “term B” loan (the “TLB Facility” and, together with the TLA Facility, the “Term Loan Facilities”). The TLB Facility was issued at a 0.50% discount.
Amendments to the 2021 Credit Agreement
On January 30, 2023, the Company entered into a first amendment (the “First Amendment”) to the 2021 Credit Agreement to, among other things: (i) permit the Company to issue the notes (described below under 2028 Convertible Notes and Related Capped Call Transactions) and incur indebtedness thereunder in an aggregate principal amount of up to $600 million at any time outstanding; (ii) permit the Company to enter into bond hedge and capped call transactions; (iii) permit the Company to issue call options, warrants or purchase rights relating to the Company’s common stock; provided, in each case, that the terms of any such transaction are customary for transactions of such type.
On February 15, 2023, the Company entered into a second amendment (the “Second Amendment”) to the 2021 Credit Agreement to, among other things: (i) increase the maximum borrowing capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility by $100 million from $400 million to $500 million, (ii) extend the maturity date for both the Revolving Credit Facility and the TLA Facility to February 15, 2028, (iii) allow for borrowings by the Company under the Revolving Credit Facility denominated in Euros, subject to a sublimit equal to 50% of the maximum borrowing capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility, (iv) replace the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) based reference interest rate option with a forward-looking term rate based on the secured overnight financing rate (“SOFR”) for the applicable interest period plus an adjustment of 0.10% per annum (“Adjusted Term SOFR”), and (v) add carveouts to certain negative covenants included within the 2021 Credit Agreement to permit the expansion of capacity in Ireland by the Company and incur indebtedness related thereto.
The information provided below reflects the First Amendment and Second Amendment (collectively the “2023 Amendments”) described above. Details of our Long-term debt as of December 31, 2022 can be found in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.
Revolving Credit Facility
The Revolving Credit Facility matures on February 15, 2028. As of September 29, 2023, the Company had available borrowing capacity on the Revolving Credit Facility of $415.3 million after giving effect to $81.2 million of outstanding borrowings and $3.5 million of outstanding standby letters of credit. Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility will bear interest at a rate of Adjusted Term SOFR, in relation to any loan in U.S. dollars, and the Euro Interbank Offered Rate (“EURIBOR”), in relation to any loan in Euros, plus a margin based on the Company’s Secured Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Senior Secured Credit Facilities agreement). In addition, the Company is required to pay a commitment fee on the unused portion of the Revolving Credit Facility, which will range between 0.15% and 0.25%, depending on the Company’s Secured Net Leverage Ratio. As of September 29, 2023, the weighted average interest rate on outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility was 6.47% and the commitment fee on the unused portion of the Revolving Credit Facility was 0.18%.

(6.) DEBT (Continued)
Term Loan Facilities
The TLA Facility matures on February 15, 2028, and requires quarterly installments. The quarterly principal installments under the TLA Facility increase over the term of the loan. The interest rate terms for the TLA Facility are the same as those above for the Revolving Credit Facility borrowings in U.S. dollars. As of September 29, 2023, the interest rate on the TLA Facility was 6.92%.
In February 2023, the Company used a portion of the proceeds from its notes offering (see 2028 Convertible Senior Notes and Related Capped Call Transactions) to settle in full principal and interest due under the TLB Facility.
Deferred Debt Issuance Costs and Discounts
Debt issuance costs are either deferred and amortized over the term of the associated debt or expensed as incurred. In connection with the 2023 Amendments, the Company incurred and capitalized an aggregate of $1.0 million of debt issuance costs.
In connection with the 2023 Amendments, for each separate debt instrument on a lender by lender basis, in accordance with ASC 470-50, Debt Modifications and Extinguishment, the Company performed an assessment of whether the transaction was deemed to be new debt, a modification of existing debt, or an extinguishment of existing debt.
Based on this assessment, $3.8 million of unamortized deferred debt issuance costs related to the Revolving Credit Facility and TLA Facility were deemed to be related to the issuance of new debt, or the modification of existing debt, and therefore will continue to be deferred and amortized over the term of the associated debt. The remaining $0.6 million of unamortized deferred debt issuance costs related to the Revolving Credit Facility and TLA Facility were deemed to be related to the extinguishment of debt and were expensed and included in Interest expense during the nine months ended September 29, 2023. Additionally, in connection with the full repayment of the TLB Facility and prepayments of portions of the TLA Facility, the Company incurred a $3.9 million loss on extinguishment of debt from the write-off of the remaining deferred debt issuance costs and original issue discount, which were expensed and included in Interest expense during the nine months ended September 29, 2023.
Covenants
The Senior Secured Credit Facilities agreement contains customary terms and conditions, including representations and warranties and affirmative and negative covenants, as well as financial covenants for the benefit of the lenders under the Revolving Credit Facility and the TLA Facility, which require that (i) the Company maintain a Total Net Leverage Ratio not to exceed 5.00:1.00, subject to increase in certain circumstances following qualified acquisitions, but shall not exceed 5.50:1.00 and (ii) the Company maintain an interest coverage ratio of at least 2.50:1.00. As of September 29, 2023, the Company was in compliance with these financial covenants.

2028 Convertible Senior Notes and Related Capped Call Transactions
In February of 2023, the Company issued $500 million aggregate principal amount of Convertible Senior Notes due in 2028 (“2028 Notes”) in a private offering, which aggregate principal amount included the exercise in full of the initial purchasers’ option to purchase up to an additional $65 million principal amount of the 2028 Notes. The 2028 Notes mature on February 15, 2028 and bear interest at a fixed rate of 2.125% per annum, payable semiannually in arrears on February 15 and August 15 of each year, beginning on August 15, 2023. The total net proceeds from the issuance of the 2028 Notes (which includes the additional proceeds from the purchasers’ option), after deducting initial purchasers' discounts and commissions and debt issuance costs, were approximately $485 million.
Conversion and Redemption Terms of the 2028 Notes
Each $1,000 principal amount of the 2028 Notes is initially convertible into 11.4681 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “2028 Conversion Option”), which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $87.20 per share of common stock, subject to standard anti-dilutive adjustments and adjustments upon the occurrence of specified events. The initial conversion price represents a premium of approximately 32.5% to the $65.81 per share closing price of the Company’s common stock on January 31, 2023.
INTEGER HOLDINGS CORPORATION

(6.) DEBT (Continued)
The 2028 Notes are convertible, in multiples of $1,000 principal amount, at the option of the holders prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding November 15, 2027, only under the following circumstances: (1) during any calendar quarter commencing after the calendar quarter ending on March 31, 2023 (and only during such calendar quarter), if the last reported sale price of the Company’s common stock for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the conversion price on each applicable trading day; (2) during the five business day period after any ten consecutive trading day period (the “Measurement Period”) in which the trading price (as defined in the Indenture governing the 2028 Notes) per $1,000 principal amount of the 2028 Notes for each trading day of the Measurement Period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of the Company’s common stock and the conversion rate in effect on each such trading day; (3) if the Company calls any or all of the 2028 Notes for redemption, at any time prior to the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the redemption date; or (4) upon the occurrence of specified corporate events. On or after November 15, 2027 until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, holders may convert all or any portion of their 2028 Notes, in multiples of $1,000 principal amount, at the option of the holder regardless of the foregoing circumstances.
Upon conversion, the 2028 Notes will be settled in cash up to the aggregate principal amount of the 2028 Notes to be converted, and in cash, shares of the Company’s common stock or a combination thereof, at the Company’s option, in respect of the remainder, if any, of the Company’s conversion obligation in excess of the aggregate principal amount of the 2028 Notes being converted. If the Company undergoes a fundamental change (as defined in the indenture governing the 2028 Notes), subject to certain conditions, holders may require the Company to repurchase for cash all or any portion of their 2028 Notes, in principal amounts of $1,000 or a multiple thereof, at a fundamental change repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2028 Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the fundamental change repurchase date. In addition, following certain corporate events or if the Company issues a notice of redemption, it will, under certain circumstances, increase the conversion rate for holders who elect to convert their notes in connection with such corporate event or during the relevant redemption period.
As of September 29, 2023, the conditions allowing holders of the Convertible Notes to convert had not been met and, therefore, the Convertible Notes are classified as a long-term liability on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at September 29, 2023.
The Company may not redeem the 2028 Notes prior to February 20, 2026. The Company may redeem for cash all or any portion of the 2028 Notes, at its option, on or after February 20, 2026 and prior to February 15, 2028, if the last reported sale price of its common stock has been at least 130% of the conversion price then in effect for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during any 30 consecutive trading day period (including the last trading day of such period) ending not more than two trading days immediately preceding the date on which the Company provides notice of redemption at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2028 Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date. No sinking fund is provided for the 2028 Notes.
Seniority of the 2028 Notes
The 2028 Notes are the Company’s senior unsecured obligations and rank senior in right of payment to any of the Company’s indebtedness that is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the 2028 Notes; equal in right of payment to any of the Company’s unsecured indebtedness that is not so subordinated; effectively junior in right of payment to any of the Company’s secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness; and structurally junior to all indebtedness and other liabilities (including trade payables) of the Company’s subsidiaries.
Indenture
The Company issued the Notes pursuant to an indenture dated as of February 3, 2023 (the “Indenture”) by and between the Company and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee. The Indenture provides for customary events of default, which include (subject in certain cases to grace and cure periods), among others: nonpayment of principal or interest; failure by the Company to comply with its conversion obligations upon exercise of a holder’s conversion right under the Indenture; breach of covenants or other agreements in the Indenture; defaults by the Company or any significant subsidiary (as defined in the Indenture) with respect to other indebtedness in excess of a threshold amount; failure by the Company or any significant subsidiary to pay final judgments in excess of a threshold amount; and the occurrence of certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization with respect to the Company or any significant subsidiary. Generally, if an event of default occurs and is continuing under the Indenture, either the Indenture trustee or the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the

(6.) DEBT (Continued)
2028 Notes then outstanding may declare the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes to be immediately due and payable.
Covenants
The 2028 Notes do not contain financial maintenance covenants.
Deferred Debt Issuance Costs and Discounts
The 2028 Notes are accounted for as a single liability measured at amortized cost. The discount and issuance costs related to the 2028 Notes are being amortized to interest expense over the contractual term of the 2028 Notes at an effective interest rate of 2.76%.
Fair Value of the 2028 Notes
The estimated fair value of the 2028 Notes was approximately $545 million as of September 29, 2023. The estimated fair value of the 2028 Notes was determined through consideration of quoted market prices. The fair value of the 2028 Notes are categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Capped Call Transactions
In connection with the issuance of the 2028 Notes, the Company entered into privately negotiated capped call transactions (the “Capped Calls”) with certain financial institutions. The Capped Calls are expected generally to reduce the potential dilution to the Company’s common stock in connection with any conversion of the 2028 Notes and/or offset any cash payments the Company is required to make in excess of the principal amount of converted 2028 Notes, as the case may be, with such reduction and/or offset subject to a cap based on strike price of written warrants. The initial upper strike price of the Capped Calls is $108.59 per share and is subject to certain adjustments under the terms of the Capped Calls. The Capped Calls cover, subject to anti-dilution adjustments, approximately 5.7 million shares of the Company’s common stock, the same number of shares initially underlying the 2028 Notes. For accounting purposes, the Capped Calls are separate transactions, and not integrated with the issuance of the 2028 Notes. As these transactions meet certain accounting criteria, the Capped Calls are recorded in stockholders’ equity and are not accounted for as derivatives. The 2028 Notes and the Capped Calls will be integrated for tax purposes. The accounting impact of this tax treatment results in the Capped Calls being deductible as original issue discount for tax purposes over the term of the 2028 Notes, which generates an $8.8 million deferred tax asset recognized through equity. The cost to the Company of the Capped Calls was $35 million, which was recorded, net of tax, as a reduction to additional paid-in capital.

Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units
For the Company’s PRSUs, in addition to service conditions, the ultimate number of shares to be earned depends on the achievement of financial and market-based performance conditions over three year performance periods. The financial performance conditions are based on the Company’s sales targets. The market-based performance conditions are based on the Company’s achievement of a relative total shareholder return performance requirement, on a percentile basis, compared to a defined group of peer companies, or contingent upon achieving specified stock price milestones over a five year performance period.
The following table summarizes PRSU activity for the nine month period ended September 29, 2023:
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| Performance- Vested Activity | | Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value |
Nonvested at December 31, 2022 | 263,906 | | | $ | 90.29 | |
Granted | 105,757 | | | 74.32 | |
Vested | (24,427) | | | 107.26 | |
Forfeited | (62,396) | | | 83.39 | |
Nonvested at September 29, 2023 | 282,840 | | | $ | 84.38 | |
The Company uses a Monte Carlo simulation model to determine the grant-date fair value of awards with market-based performance conditions. The grant-date fair value of all other PRSUs is equal to the closing market price of Integer common stock on the date of grant. The weighted average fair value and assumptions used to value the PRSU awards granted with market-based performance conditions are as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| Nine Months Ended |
| September 29, 2023 | | September 30, 2022 |
Weighted average fair value | $ | 74.29 | | | $ | 97.58 | |
Risk-free interest rate | 3.79 | % | | 1.58 | % |
Expected volatility | 46 | % | | 42 | % |
Expected life (in years) | 3.0 | | 3.9 |
Expected dividend yield | — | % | | — | % |
The valuation of the market-based PRSUs granted during 2023 and 2022 also reflects a weighted average illiquidity discount of 11.23% and 9.25%, respectively, related to the six-month period that recipients are restricted from selling, transferring, pledging or assigning the underlying shares, in the event of vesting.

(9.) INCOME TAXES
The income tax provision for interim periods is determined using an estimate of the annual effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete items, if any, that are taken into account in the relevant period. Each quarter, the estimate of the annual effective tax rate is updated, and if the estimated effective tax rate changes, a cumulative adjustment is made. There is a potential for volatility of the effective tax rate due to several factors, including discrete items, changes in the mix and amount of pre-tax income and the jurisdictions to which it relates, changes in tax laws and foreign tax holidays, business reorganizations, settlements with taxing authorities and foreign currency fluctuations. In addition, the Company continues to explore tax planning opportunities that may have a material impact on its effective tax rate.
The Company’s effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2023 was 15.0% on $32.1 million of income before taxes compared to 5.5% on $17.0 million of income before taxes for the same period in 2022. The Company’s effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 29, 2023 was 17.5% on $78.0 million of income before taxes compared to 12.8% on $55.4 million of income before taxes for the same period of 2022. The difference between the Company’s effective tax rates and the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate of 21% for the third quarter and first nine months of 2023 and 2022 is due principally to the net impact of the Company’s earnings outside the U.S., which are generally taxed at rates that differ from the U.S federal rate, the Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income (“GILTI”) tax, the Foreign Derived Intangible Income (“FDII”) deduction, the availability of tax credits, and the recognition of certain discrete tax items. For the third quarter and first nine months of 2023, the Company recorded discrete tax benefits of $0.8 million and $0.4 million, respectively. For the third quarter and first nine months of 2022, the Company recorded discrete tax benefits of $0.7 million and $0.2 million, respectively. The discrete tax benefits for the third quarter and first nine months of 2023 is predominately related to favorable return to provision adjustments attributable to the 2022 U.S. tax return. The remainder of the discrete tax amounts relate predominately to excess tax benefits recognized upon vesting of RSUs during those periods partially offset by tax expense from shortfalls recorded for the forfeiture of certain PRSUs, as well as unfavorable return to provision adjustments attributable to certain foreign tax returns for the 2022 tax year. The discrete tax benefits for the third quarter and first nine months of 2022 are predominately related to favorable return to provision adjustments attributable to the 2021 tax year. The remainder of the discrete tax benefits predominately relate to excess tax benefits recognized upon vesting of RSUs during those periods and/or tax shortfalls recorded for the forfeiture of certain PRSUs.
Unrecognized tax benefits reflect the difference between positions taken or expected to be taken on income tax returns and the amounts reflected in the financial statements. As of September 29, 2023, the Company had unrecognized tax benefits of approximately $8.1 million, of which approximately $8.0 million would favorably impact the effective tax rate, net of federal benefit on state issues, if recognized. As of September 29, 2023, the Company believes it is reasonably possible that a reduction of approximately $1.9 million of the balance of unrecognized tax benefits may occur within the next 12 months as a result of various statute expirations, audit closures, and/or tax settlements.
(10.) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Contingent Consideration Arrangements

PRSUs | 83 | | | 162 | | | 100 | | | 164 | |
The dilutive effect for the Company's 2028 Notes is calculated using the if-converted method. The Company is required, pursuant to the Indenture governing the 2028 Notes, to settle the principal amount of the 2028 Notes in cash and may elect to settle the remaining conversion obligation (i.e., the stock price in excess of the conversion price) in cash, shares of the Company's common stock, or a combination thereof. Under the if-converted method, the Company includes the number of shares required to satisfy the conversion obligation, assuming all the 2028 Notes are converted. Because the average closing price of the Company's common stock for the three months ended September 29, 2023, which is used as the basis for determining the dilutive effect on earnings per share, was less than the conversion price of $87.20, all associated shares were antidilutive.
In connection with the issuance of the 2028 Notes, the Company entered into privately negotiated capped call transactions with certain financial institutions. The Capped Calls cover, subject to anti-dilution adjustments substantially similar to those in the 2028 Notes, approximately 5.7 million shares of the Company's common stock, the same number of shares initially underlying the 2028 Notes, at a strike price of approximately $108.59, subject to certain adjustments under the terms of the Capped Calls. The Capped Calls will expire upon the maturity of the 2028 Notes, subject to earlier exercise or termination. Exercise of the Capped Calls would reduce the number of shares of the Company's common stock outstanding, and therefore would be antidilutive.
See Note 6 “Debt” for additional information related to 2028 Notes and Capped Calls.

The Company expects to reclassify net gains totaling $0.6 million related to its cash flow hedges from AOCI into earnings during the next twelve months.
Net Investment Hedges
The Company has foreign-denominated long-term debt balances that qualify as net investment hedges. Changes in the value of these net investment hedges due to foreign currency gains or losses are deferred as foreign currency translation adjustments in Other comprehensive income (loss) on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss), and will remain in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) until the hedged investment is sold or substantially liquidated. We evaluate the effectiveness of the net investment hedges each quarter.
As of September 29, 2023, the Company had a €22 million borrowing on the Revolving Credit Facility that was designated as a net investment hedge on a portion of the Company’s net investments in certain of its entities with functional currencies denominated in the Euro. There were no net investment hedges outstanding at December 31, 2022.
Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments
The Company also has foreign currency exposure on balances, primarily intercompany, that are denominated in a foreign currency and are adjusted to current values using period-end exchange rates. To minimize foreign currency exposure, the Company enters into foreign currency contracts with a one month maturity. At September 29, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had total gross notional amounts of $20.0 million and $12.0 million, respectively, of foreign currency contracts outstanding that were not designated as hedges. The fair value of derivatives not designated as hedges was not material for any period presented. Net gains/losses on foreign currency contracts not designated as hedging instruments are included in Other (gain) loss, net on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss). The Company recorded net losses of $0.6 million and $0.7 million, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 29, 2023, compared to gains of $0.9 million and $1.6 million, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively. Each of the foreign currency contracts not designated as hedging instruments will have approximately offsetting effects from the underlying intercompany loans subject to foreign exchange remeasurement.

The remaining maximum potential undiscounted payout for the contingent consideration liability relating to the acquisition of InoMec is $0.9 million.
On April 6, 2022, the Company acquired Aran. See Note 2 “Business Acquisitions” for additional information about the Aran acquisition and related contingent consideration. During the nine months ended September 29, 2023, the Company made a $10.9 million payment associated with the final earnout period under the asset purchase agreement for Aran, resulting from achievement of the maximum revenue-based goals for the year ended December 31, 2022. As of December 31, 2022, the fair value of the contingent consideration liability relating to the acquisition of Aran was $10.9 million.
The contingent consideration at September 29, 2023 is the estimated fair value of the Company’s remaining obligations under the asset purchase agreements for InoMec and USB. As of September 29, 2023, contingent consideration liabilities of $0.3 million are included in Accrued expenses and other current liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of December 31, 2022, the current portion of contingent consideration liabilities included in Accrued expenses and other current liabilities was $11.2 million and the non-current portion included in Other long-term liabilities was $0.6 million.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis
Fair value standards also apply to certain assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. The carrying amounts of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued expenses approximate fair value because of the short-term nature of these items.
Borrowings under the Company’s Revolving Credit Facility and TLA Facility accrue interest at a floating rate tied to a standard short-term borrowing index, selected at the Company’s option, plus an applicable margin. The carrying amount of this floating rate debt approximates fair value based upon the respective interest rates adjusting with market rate adjustments.
Equity Investments
The Company holds long-term, strategic investments in companies to promote business and strategic objectives. These investments are included in Other long-term assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Equity investments comprise the following (in thousands):

During the third quarter of 2023, the Company determined that an investment in one of its non-marketable equity securities was impaired and determined the fair value to be zero based upon available information. An impairment charge of $3.3 million was recognized during the third quarter of 2023. This assessment was based on qualitative indications of impairment which are considered to be a Level 3 fair value measurement, as the fair value was determined based on significant inputs not observable in the market. Factors that significantly influenced the determination of the impairment loss included the investee’s financial condition, operational and financing cash flow activities, and priority claims to the equity security, distributions rights and preferences.
The Company’s equity method investment is in a venture capital fund focused on investing in life sciences companies. As of September 29, 2023, the Company owned 7.5% of this fund.

(16.) SUBSEQUENT EVENT
On October 1, 2023, the Company acquired certain assets of InNeuroCo, Inc. (“ InNeuroCo”) in an all cash transaction for $42 million, subject to customary working capital adjustments, with up to $13.5 million of contingent consideration payable based on specified revenue growth milestones being met through 2027, and a one-time contingent payment to be made based on cumulative revenue amounts through 2027 exceeding a specified revenue target. The Company funded the purchase price with borrowings under its Revolving Credit Facility during the fourth quarter of 2023.
InNeuroCo, a privately-held company based in Florida, is a recognized leader in neurovascular catheter innovation with strong development and manufacturing capabilities. InNeuroCo’s expertise and highly differentiated neurovascular catheter innovation complements the Company’s existing capabilities and market focus. Consistent with the Company’s strategy, the addition of InNeuroCo further increases Integer’s ability to provide enhanced solutions to its customers in the neurovascular catheter space.
For segment reporting purposes, the results of operations and assets from this acquisition will be included in the Company’s Medical segment. In addition to assets acquired and liabilities assumed, the Company expects to allocate the purchase price to identifiable intangible assets such as developed technology and customer relationships. The Company expects to determine the preliminary purchase price allocation prior to the end of the fourth quarter of 2023. Goodwill arising from the acquisition is tax deductible.

Impact of Global Events
Global economic challenges, including the impact of the military conflicts between Russia and Ukraine and between Israel and Hamas, severe and sustained inflation, a rising interest rate environment, fluctuations in global currencies, and supply chain disruptions may continue to cause economic uncertainty and volatility. The impact of these issues on our business will vary by geographic market and product line, but specific impacts to our business include increased borrowing costs, labor shortages, disruptions in the supply chain, delayed or reduced customer orders and sales, and delays in shipments to and from certain countries. We monitor economic conditions closely. In response to potential reductions in revenue, we can take actions to align our cost structure with changes in demand and manage our working capital. However, there can be no assurance as to the effectiveness of our efforts to mitigate any impact of the current and future adverse economic conditions and other developments.
Business Acquisitions
On April 6, 2022, we acquired 100% of the equity interests of Connemara Biomedical Holdings Teoranta, including its operating subsidiaries Aran Biomedical and Proxy Biomedical (collectively “Aran”). A recognized leader in proprietary medical textiles, high precision biomaterial coverings and coatings as well as advanced metal and polymer braiding, Aran delivers development and manufacturing solutions for implantable medical devices. Consistent with our strategy, the combination with Aran further increases our ability to offer complete solutions for complex delivery and therapeutic devices in high growth cardiovascular markets such as structural heart, neurovascular, peripheral vascular, and endovascular as well as general surgery. Refer to Note 2 “Business Acquisitions” of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Item 1 of this report for additional information about this acquisition.
Subsequent to the end of the third quarter, on October 1, 2023, we acquired certain assets of InNeuroCo, Inc. (“ InNeuroCo”). InNeuroCo is a recognized leader in neurovascular catheter innovation with strong development and manufacturing capabilities. InNeuroCo’s expertise and highly differentiated neurovascular catheter innovation complements our existing capabilities and market focus. Consistent with our strategy, the addition of InNeuroCo further increases our ability to provide enhanced solutions to our customers in the neurovascular catheter space. As the InNeuroCo acquisition occurred subsequent to the end of the third quarter, the assets acquired and results of operations are not included below in management's discussion and analysis.

Financial Overview
Net income for the third quarter and first nine months of 2023 was $27.3 million, or $0.81 per diluted share, and $64.3 million, or $1.91 per diluted share, respectively, compared to $16.1 million, or $0.48 per diluted share, and $48.3 million, or $1.45 per diluted share for the third quarter and first nine months of 2022, respectively. These variances are primarily the result of the following:
•Sales for the third quarter and first nine months of 2023 increased $62.0 million and $179.8 million, respectively, when compared to the same periods in 2022, driven by our Medical product lines with strong demand, new product ramps, growth from emerging customers with PMA (premarket approval) products and supply chain improvements.
•Gross profit for the third quarter and first nine months of 2023 increased $18.8 million and $46.9 million, respectively, primarily from higher sales volume leverage and efficiency improvements from an improving supply chain environment.
•Operating expenses for the third quarter of 2023 were flat compared to the third quarter last year and increased $7.6 million when comparing the first nine months of 2023 to the same period in 2022, primarily due to higher labor costs, amortization expense and bank fees, partially offset by lower restructuring and other charges.
•Interest expense for the third quarter and first nine months of 2023 increased $1.3 million and $16.3 million, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2022, due to higher interest rates, higher average debt outstanding and higher losses from extinguishment of debt.
•During the third quarter and first nine months of 2023, we recognized a loss on equity investments of $3.5 million, compared to losses of $2.9 million and $5.6 million, respectively, for the third quarter and first nine months of 2022. Gains and losses on equity investments are generally unpredictable in nature.
•Other (gain) loss, net for the third quarter and first nine months of 2023 were losses of $0.6 million and $1.7 million, respectively, compared to gains of $1.3 million and $0.9 million, respectively, for the third quarter and first nine months of 2022, primarily due to fluctuations in foreign currency gains and losses in the respective periods.
•We recorded provisions for income taxes for the third quarter and first nine months of 2023 of $4.8 million and $13.7 million, respectively, compared with provisions for income taxes of $0.9 million and $7.1 million, respectively, for the third quarter and first nine months of 2022. The change in income tax expense was primarily due to relative changes in pre-tax income and the impact of discrete tax items.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Product Line Sales
For the third quarter and first nine months of 2023, Cardio & Vascular (“C&V”) sales increased $39.9 million, or 23%, and $99.9 million, or 19%, respectively, versus the comparable 2022 periods. The increase in C&V sales for the third quarter and first nine months of 2023 was driven by continued strong demand across all markets, growth in key products such as guidewires, new product ramps in electrophysiology and structural heart, and supply chain improvements. Foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations increased C&V sales for the third quarter and first nine months of 2023 by $1.1 million and $0.8 million, in comparison to the 2022 periods, primarily due to U.S. dollar fluctuations relative to the Euro.
For the third quarter and first nine months of 2023, Cardiac Rhythm Management & Neuromodulation (“CRM&N”) sales increased $28.6 million, or 22%, and $67.9 million, or 17%, respectively, versus the comparable 2022 periods, with double-digit growth in both CRM and Neuromodulation, driven by strong demand, including double-digit growth from emerging customers with PMA products, and supply chain improvements. Foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations did not have a material impact on CRM&N sales during the third quarter and first nine months of 2023 in comparison to 2022.
Advanced Surgical, Orthopedic & Portable Medical (“AS&O”) sales for the third quarter and first nine months of 2023 decreased $3.5 million, or 13%, and increased $8.7 million or 13%, respectively, versus the comparable 2022 periods, driven by execution of the planned multi-year Portable Medical exit announced in 2022 and a decline in Advanced Surgical and Orthopedics. Foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations did not have a material impact on AS&O sales during the third quarter and first nine months of 2023 in comparison to the 2022 periods.
For the third quarter and first nine months of 2023, Non-Medical sales decreased $3.0 million, or 25%, and increased $3.3 million, or 11%, respectively, versus the comparable 2022 periods. The third quarter of 2023 sales reflect a return to the normal run-rate after higher sales in previous quarters from the supply chain recovery. Foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations did not have a material impact on Non-Medical sales during the third quarter and first nine months of 2023 in comparison to the 2022 periods.

__________
(a)Compensation and benefits expense increased during the third quarter and first nine months of 2023. The increases were primarily due to annual merit increases and higher incentive compensation, partially offset by lower headcount.
(b)Amortization expense increased during the third quarter and first nine months of 2023 compared to the same periods of 2022 primarily due to increased amortization relating to our Aran and Oscor customer list intangible assets.
(c)Professional fees increased during the third quarter and first nine months of 2023 primarily due to increased costs associated with third-party information technology services.
(d)Contract services expense increased during the third quarter and first nine months of 2023 compared to the same periods of 2022 primarily due to higher software costs from information technology enhancements.
(e)The increase in bank fees and charges during the third quarter and first nine months of 2023 was driven by increased factoring and supplier financing fees primarily due to the launch of accounts receivable factoring arrangements during the first nine months of of 2023.
RD&E
RD&E expense for the third quarter and first nine months of 2023 was $14.5 million and $50.5 million, respectively, compared to $16.1 million and $47.1 million, respectively, for the third quarter and first nine months of 2022. The decrease in RD&E expense during the third quarter of 2023 compared to the same period in 2022, was primarily due to the timing of RD&E associates supporting product development contracts with customers. The increase in RD&E expense during first nine months of 2023 compared to the same period in 2022, was primarily due to higher labor costs attributed to annual merit increases and higher incentive compensation. RD&E expenses are influenced by the number and timing of in-process projects and labor hours and other costs associated with these projects. Our research and development initiatives continue to emphasize new product development, product improvements, and the development of new technological platform innovations.

| | | | | | | | | | | |
During 2023, contractual interest expense has increased due to higher average debt outstanding combined with increasing applicable interest rates. The higher average debt balance outstanding is the result of incremental borrowings related to the strategic change to replace some of our variable rate debt to fixed rate through issuance of the 2028 Notes. Interest rates have continued to climb due to increases in overall market rates, partially offset by a 25 basis point decrease in the interest rate margin on our Senior Secured Credit Facilities. The decrease in the interest rate margin was effective during the second quarter of 2023 based on our Secured Net Leverage Ratio.
Other components of interest expense on borrowings include gains and losses on interest rate swaps and non-cash amortization and write-off (losses from extinguishment of debt) of deferred debt issuance costs and original issue discount. Interest rate swap includes realized (gains) losses on our interest rate swap contract which fluctuate depending on the spread between the rate swap contract fixed rate and senior secured credit facility floating rate. Our outstanding interest rate swap matured as of June 30, 2023. Amortization of deferred debt issuance costs and original issue discount increased during 2023 compared to the same periods in 2022 as a result of higher unamortized balances related to new debt. The losses from extinguishment of debt during the first nine months of 2023 were related to prepayments of portions of the Term Loan A facility and full repayment of our Term Loan B facility in connection with issuance of the convertible notes. We had no losses from extinguishment of debt during the first nine months of 2022.
As of September 29, 2023 and December 31, 2022, approximately 52% and 11%, respectively, of our principal amount of debt are fixed rate borrowings or have been converted to fixed-rate borrowings with an interest rate swap. During February 2023, we strategically replaced about half of our variable rate debt with fixed rate debt through the issuance of the 2028 Notes at a fixed rate of 2.125% and paying down our highest rate variable debt, the Term Loan B facility, and a portion of our Revolving Credit Facility. These transactions are expected to mitigate increased borrowing costs and result in a more balanced mix of fixed and floating rates to help protect against interest rate exposure. We may enter into interest rate swap agreements in order to reduce our exposure to fluctuations in floating rates.

During the third quarter and first nine months of 2023, we recognized a loss on equity investments of $3.5 million. During the third quarter and first nine months of 2022, we recognized losses of $2.9 million and $5.6 million, respectively. During the third quarter of 2023, we recognized an impairment charge of $3.3 million related to an investment in one of our non-marketable equity securities. The residual amounts for 2023 and 2022 relate to our share of equity method investee losses including unrealized appreciation/depreciation of the underlying interests of the investee. As of September 29, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the carrying value of our equity investments was $10.4 million and $13.9 million, respectively. See Note 13 “Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements” of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Item 1 of this report for further details regarding these investments.
Other (Gain) Loss, Net
Other (gain) loss, net for the third quarter and first nine months of 2023 were losses of $0.6 million and $1.7 million, respectively, compared to gains of $1.3 million and $0.9 million, respectively, for the third quarter and first nine months of 2022. Other (gain) loss, net primarily includes gains/losses from the impact of exchange rates on transactions denominated in foreign currencies. Our foreign currency transaction gains/losses are based primarily on fluctuations of the U.S. dollar relative to the Euro, Mexican peso, Uruguayan peso, Malaysian ringgits, Dominican peso, or Israeli shekel.
The impact of exchange rates on transactions denominated in foreign currencies included in Other (gain) loss, net for the third quarter and first nine months of 2023 were net losses of $0.5 million and $1.7 million, respectively, compared to gains of $1.6 million and $1.1 million for the third quarter and first nine months of 2022, respectively. We continually monitor our foreign currency exposures and seek to take steps to mitigate these risks. However, fluctuations in exchange rates could have a significant impact, positive or negative, on our financial results in the future.

Provision for Income Taxes
We recognized income tax expense of $4.8 million for the third quarter of 2023 on $32.1 million of income before taxes (effective tax rate of 15.0%), compared to an income tax expense of $0.9 million on $17.0 million of income before taxes (effective tax rate of 5.5%) for the same period of 2022. The income tax expense for the first nine months of 2023 was $13.7 million on $78.0 million of income before taxes (effective tax rate of 17.5%), compared to income tax expense of $7.1 million on income before taxes of $55.4 million (effective tax rate of 12.8%) for the same period of 2022. Income tax expense for the third quarter and first nine months of 2023 included discrete tax benefits of $0.8 million and $0.4 million, respectively. The discrete tax benefits for the third quarter and first nine months of 2023 are predominately related to favorable return to provision adjustments attributable to the 2022 U.S. tax return. The remainder of the discrete tax amounts relate predominately to excess tax benefits recognized upon vesting of RSUs during those periods partially offset by tax expense from shortfalls recorded for the forfeiture of certain PRSUs, as well as unfavorable return to provision adjustments attributable to certain foreign tax returns for the 2022 tax year. Income tax expense for the third quarter and first nine months of 2022 included $0.7 million and $0.2 million, respectively, of discrete tax benefits. The discrete tax benefit for the third quarter and the first nine months of 2022 predominately relates to favorable return to provision adjustments attributable to the 2021 tax year.
Our effective tax rate for 2023 differs from the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21% due principally to the estimated impact of Federal Tax Credits (including R&D credits and Foreign tax credits), stock-based compensation windfalls or shortfalls, and the impact of U.S taxes on foreign earnings, including the GILTI provision which requires us to include foreign subsidiary earnings in excess of a deemed return on a foreign subsidiary’s tangible assets in our U.S. income tax return. The U.S. tax on foreign earnings is reflected net of a statutory deduction of 50% of the GILTI inclusion (subject to limitations based on U.S. taxable income, if any) and net of FDII that provides a 37.5% deduction to domestic companies for certain foreign sales and services income. In addition, our rate is impacted by earnings realized in foreign jurisdictions with statutory rates that are different than the U.S. federal statutory rate. The primary foreign jurisdictions in which we operate and the statutory tax rate for each respective jurisdiction include Switzerland (22%), Mexico (30%), Uruguay (25%), Ireland (12.5%) and Malaysia (24%). We had been operating under a tax holiday in Malaysia, however this expired in April 2023. We acquired manufacturing operations in the Dominican Republic as part of the acquisition of Oscor, and are operating under a free trade zone agreement in the Dominican Republic through March 2034.
There is a potential for volatility of our effective tax rate due to several factors, including changes in the mix of pre-tax income and the jurisdictions to which it relates, business acquisitions, settlements with taxing authorities, changes in tax rates, and foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. We continue to closely monitor developments related to proposed changes in tax laws and tax rates. We are currently assessing the potential impact of The Pillar II Model Rules and the corresponding 15% Global Minimum Tax in anticipation of the January 1, 2024 effective date for jurisdictions that have already enacted laws complying with the Pillar II framework. In addition, we continue to explore planning opportunities that may have a material impact on our effective tax rate.
Liquidity and Capital Resources

Current ratio | 3.00 | | | 2.50 | | | |
Cash and cash equivalents at September 29, 2023 increased by $7.9 million from December 31, 2022, primarily as a result of cash generated by operating activities, which includes the benefit of accelerated customer collections from new factoring arrangements, partially offset by purchases of property, plant and equipment and net payments on long-term debt and contingent consideration.
Working capital increased by $71.7 million from December 31, 2022, or $63.8 million excluding the increase in cash and cash equivalents. The increase in working capital, exclusive of cash and cash equivalents, primarily relates to positive working capital fluctuations in inventory, contract assets and current portion of long-term debt. Inventory increased to support higher product demand and sales volume and current portion of long-term debt decreased from accelerated payments under our Senior Secured Credit Facility.
INTEGER HOLDINGS CORPORATION
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
At September 29, 2023, $26.8 million of our cash and cash equivalents were held by foreign subsidiaries. We intend to limit our distributions from foreign subsidiaries to previously taxed income or current period earnings. If distributions are made utilizing current period earnings, we will record foreign withholding taxes in the period of the distribution.
As of September 29, 2023, our capital structure consisted of $941.4 million of debt, net of deferred debt issuance costs and unamortized discounts and 33 million shares of common stock outstanding. As of September 29, 2023, we had access to $415.3 million of borrowing capacity under our Revolving Credit Facility, available for normal course of business and letters of credit, and are authorized to issue up to 100 million shares of common stock and 100 million shares of preferred stock. As of September 29, 2023, our contractual debt service obligations for the remainder of 2023, consisting of interest on our outstanding debt, are estimated to be approximately $8 million. Actual principal and interest payments may be higher if, for instance, the applicable interest rates on our Senior Secured Credit Facilities increase, we borrow additional amounts on our Revolving Credit Facility, or we pay principal amounts in excess of the required minimums reflected in the contractual debt service obligations above.
Based on current expectations, we believe that our projected cash flows provided by operations, available cash and cash equivalents and borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility are sufficient to meet our working capital, debt service and capital expenditure requirements for the next twelve months. If our future financing needs increase, we may need to arrange additional debt or equity financing. We continually evaluate and consider various financing alternatives to enhance or supplement our existing financial resources. However, we cannot be assured that we will be able to enter into any such arrangements on acceptable terms or at all.
Credit Facilities and Convertible Notes
As of September 29, 2023, we had Senior Secured Credit Facilities that consist of a $500 million Revolving Credit Facility, with an outstanding principal balance of $81 million, and a TLA Facility with an outstanding principal balance of $375 million. The Revolving Credit Facility and TLA Facility mature on February 15, 2028. The Senior Secured Credit Facilities include a mandatory prepayment provision customary for credit facilities of its nature.
During the first quarter of 2023, we issued $500 million aggregate principal amount of notes. The 2028 Notes mature on February 15, 2028 and bear interest at a fixed rate of 2.125% per annum. The total net proceeds from the issuance of the 2028 Notes, after deducting initial purchasers' discounts and commissions and debt issuance costs, were approximately $485 million. We used the net proceeds from the issuance of the 2028 Notes to settle in full principal and interest due of $336.1 million under the TLB Facility, pay down principal and interest due of $113.9 million under the Revolving Credit Facility, to pay related fees and expenses, and to pay the cost of the capped calls related to the issuance of our 2028 Notes.
The Revolving Credit Facility and TLA Facility contain covenants requiring that we maintain (i) a Total Net Leverage Ratio not to exceed 5.00:1.00, subject to increase in certain circumstances following certain qualified acquisitions and (ii) an interest coverage ratio of at least 2.50:1.00. As of September 29, 2023, we were in compliance with these financial covenants. As of September 29, 2023, our Total Net Leverage Ratio, calculated in accordance with our Senior Secured Credit Facilities agreement, was approximately 2.7:1.0. For the twelve month period ended September 29, 2023, our interest coverage ratio, calculated in accordance with our Senior Secured Credit Facilities agreement, was approximately 7.7:1.0.
Failure to comply with these financial covenants would result in an event of default as defined under the Revolving Credit Facility and TLA Facility unless waived by the lenders. An event of default may result in the acceleration of our indebtedness. As a result, management believes that compliance with these covenants is material to us.
See Note 6 “Debt” of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Item 1 of this report for a further information on the Company’s outstanding debt.

Summary of Cash Flow

(in thousands) | September 29, 2023 | | September 30, 2022 | | |
Cash provided by (used in): | | | | | |
Operating activities | $ | 124,626 | | | $ | 64,779 | | | |
Investing activities | (82,785) | | | (169,098) | | | |

Net change in cash and cash equivalents | $ | 7,870 | | | $ | 2,302 | | | |
Operating Activities – During the first nine months of 2023, we generated cash from operations of $124.6 million, compared to $64.8 million for the first nine months of 2022. The increase of $59.8 million was the result of a $39.2 million increase in cash flow provided by changes in operating assets and liabilities and a $20.6 million increase in net income adjusted for non-cash items such as depreciation and amortization.
The increase in net income adjusted for non-cash items such as depreciation and amortization is primarily from higher sales volume partially offset by higher interest expense. The increase associated with changes in operating assets and liabilities is primarily related to less accounts receivable, inventory and accounts payable growth. Accounts receivable benefited from new factoring arrangements entered into during the first nine months of 2023 that accelerated accounts receivable collections. Factoring activity on accounts receivable provided an increase of approximately $30 million in cash generated from operating activities during the first nine months of 2023. Inventory growth was high in the first nine months of 2022 from investments to support growth and protect against supply chain risk, while accounts payable yielded less benefit to cash flow in the first nine months of 2023 from the timing of supplier payments and lower inventory growth.
Investing Activities – The $86.3 million decrease in net cash used in investing activities was primarily attributable to lower cash paid for acquisitions, partially offset by increased purchases of property, plant and equipment of $82.9 million in the first nine months of 2023, compared to $43.1 million in the same period last year. Investing activities for the second quarter of 2022 included net cash paid of $126.6 million for the Aran acquisition and settlement of working capital and other closing adjustments with Oscor.
Financing Activities – Net cash used in financing activities for the first nine months of 2023, was $35.5 million compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $106.4 million for the first nine months of 2022. The cash used in financing activities for the first nine months of 2023 was primarily related to the $335.6 million full repayment of our term loan B facility, $80.3 million in repayments of our term loan A facility, $59.4 million of net payments on our Revolving Credit Facility, $35.0 million of capped call purchases related to the issuance of our 2028 Notes, and $7.7 million paid to settle certain contingent consideration liabilities related to the Aran and Inomec acquisitions, which was partially offset by the issuance of our 2028 Notes of $486.3 million. The net cash inflow for 2022 included $160.0 million in borrowings on the revolving line of credit primarily to fund the Aran acquisition.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not currently have off balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a material current or future effect on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In the normal course of business, we evaluate all new accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB, SEC, or other authoritative accounting bodies to determine the potential impact they may have on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. See Note 1 “Basis of Presentation” of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Item 1 of this report for additional information about these recently issued accounting standards and their potential impact on our financial condition or results of operations.
INTEGER HOLDINGS CORPORATION
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. requires management to make estimates, assumptions and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Our estimates, assumptions and judgments are based on historical experience and various other assumptions believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Making estimates, assumptions and judgments about future events is inherently unpredictable and is subject to significant uncertainties, some of which are beyond our control. Management believes the estimates, assumptions and judgments employed and resulting balances reported in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are reasonable; however, actual results could differ materially.
There have been no significant changes to the critical accounting policies and estimates as compared to those disclosed in Part II, Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.
