ICU Medical, Inc. Announces Fourth Quarter and Fiscal Year 2014 Results

SAN CLEMENTE, Calif., Feb. 9, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ICU Medical, Inc., (Nasdaq: ICUI ) ("ICU Medical"), a leader in innovative medical devices used in vascular therapy, oncology and critical care applications, today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended December 31, 2014.

Fourth Quarter 2014 Results

Fourth quarter 2014 revenue was $79.9 million, compared to $77.9 million in the same period last year. GAAP net income for the fourth quarter of 2014 was $7.4 million, or $0.46 per diluted share, as compared to GAAP net income of $13.3 million, or $0.86 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2013. Adjusted diluted earnings per share for the fourth quarter of 2014 was $0.68 as compared to $0.94 for the fourth quarter of 2013. Also, adjusted EBITDA was $21.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2014 as compared to $20.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2013.

Full Fiscal Year 2014 Results

Fiscal year 2014 revenue was $309.3 million, compared to $313.7 million in the same period last year. GAAP net income for fiscal year 2014 was $26.3 million, or $1.68 per diluted share, as compared to GAAP net income of $40.4 million, or $2.65 per diluted share, for fiscal year 2013.

Also, adjusted EBITDA was $73.9 million for fiscal year 2014 as compared to $79.0 million for fiscal year 2013.

Vivek Jain, ICU Medical's Chief Executive Officer, said, "Fourth quarter and full year results were slightly above our expectations. Consistent with our trends during the previous two quarters, fourth quarter revenue was driven by strength in direct infusion therapy, oncology and international sales and this was offset by an expected decline in our OEM business."

Revenues by market segment for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 were as follows:
