Like our revenue performance, our second quarter 2020 adjusted EPS of $1.93 also significantly exceeded our expectations, reflecting the recovery we saw in procedures, as well as prudent operating expense management.”Mr. Kelly continued, “Despite the challenges caused by the global pandemic, Teleflex remains in a strong financial position, supported by a healthy balance sheet, which includes more than $550 million of cash on hand, and access to additional liquidity under our revolving credit facility.  We remain confident in our core business fundamentals, including robust demand for our innovative and critical care products. That said, due to the rapidly evolving environment, continued uncertainties from the impact of the COVID-19 global pandemic, and recent regional outbreaks that are impacting the recovery, we are not reinstating 2020 financial guidance at this time.”Mr. Kelly concluded, “We remain confident that we will weather the storm given our diversified business model and our continued belief in our ability to generate significant constant currency revenue growth, margin expansion, adjusted earnings per share and free cash flow growth over the long term.”NET REVENUE BY SEGMENTThe following tables and commentary provide information regarding net revenues in each of the Company’s reportable operating segments for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and June 28, 2020 on both a GAAP and constant currency basis.

The workforce reduction was initiated to further align the business with our high growth strategic objectives. We estimate that we will incur aggregate pre-tax restructuring charges of $10 million to $13 million, consisting primarily of termination benefits, and will result in future cash outlays. This plan will be substantially complete during 2020 and as a result most of these charges are expected to be incurred prior to the end of 2020. We expect to begin realizing plan-related savings in 2020 and expect to achieve annual pre-tax savings of $11 million to $13 million once the plans are fully implemented.CONFERENCE CALL WEBCAST AND ADDITIONAL INFORMATIONAs previously announced, Teleflex will comment on its financial results on a conference call to be held today at 8:00 a.m. (ET).  The call will be available live and archived on the Company’s website at www.teleflex.com and the accompanying presentation will be posted prior to the call.  An audio replay will be available until August 4, 2020 at 11:00am (ET), by calling 855-859-2056 (U.S./Canada) or 404-537-3406 (International), Passcode: 1778009.ADDITIONAL NOTESReferences in this release to the impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations on adjusted diluted earnings per share include both the impact of translating foreign currencies into U.S. dollars and the impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations on foreign currency denominated transactions.In the discussion of segment results, “new products” refers to products for which we initiated commercial sales within the past 36 months and “existing products” refers to products we have sold commercially for more than 36 months.Certain financial information is presented on a rounded basis, which may cause minor differences.

NOTES ON NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURESWe report our financial results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, commonly referred to as “GAAP.”  In this press release, we provide supplemental information, consisting of the following non-GAAP financial measures: constant currency revenue growth and adjusted diluted earnings per share. These non-GAAP measures are described in more detail below.  Management uses these financial measures to assess Teleflex’s financial performance, make operating decisions, allocate financial resources, provide guidance on possible future results, and assist in its evaluation of period-to-period and peer comparisons. The non-GAAP measures may be useful to investors because they provide insight into management’s assessment of our business, and provide supplemental information pertinent to a comparison of period-to-period results of our ongoing operations.  The non-GAAP financial measures are presented in addition to results presented in accordance with GAAP and should not be relied upon as a substitute for GAAP financial measures. Moreover, our non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.Tables reconciling changes in historical constant currency net revenues to historical GAAP net revenues are set forth above under “Net Revenue by Segment” and “Net Revenue by Global Product Category”.  Tables reconciling historical adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuing operations to historical GAAP diluted earnings per share from continuing operations are set forth below.Constant currency revenue growth: This non-GAAP measure is based upon net revenues, adjusted to eliminate the impact of translating the results of international subsidiaries at different currency exchange rates from period to period. The impact of changes in foreign currency may vary significantly from period to period, and such changes generally are outside of the control of our management. We believe that this measure facilitates a comparison of our operating performance exclusive of currency exchange rate fluctuations that do not reflect our underlying performance or business trends.Adjusted diluted earnings per share: This non-GAAP measure is based upon diluted earnings per share from continuing operations, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, adjusted to exclude, depending on the period presented, the items described below. Management does not believe that any of the excluded items are indicative of our underlying core performance or business trends.Restructuring, restructuring related and impairment items – Restructuring programs involve discrete initiatives designed to, among other things, consolidate or relocate manufacturing, administrative and other facilities, outsource distribution operations, improve operating efficiencies and integrate acquired businesses. Depending on the specific restructuring program involved, our restructuring charges may include employee termination, contract termination, facility closure, employee relocation, equipment relocation, outplacement and other exit costs associated with the restructuring program.  Restructuring related charges are directly related to our restructuring programs and consist of facility consolidation costs, including accelerated depreciation expense related to facility closures, costs to transfer manufacturing operations between locations, and retention bonuses offered to certain employees as an incentive for them to remain with our company after completion of the restructuring program. Impairment charges occur if, due to events or changes in circumstances, we determine that the carrying value of an asset exceeds its fair value. Impairment charges do not directly affect our liquidity, but could have a material adverse effect on our reported financial results.Acquisition, integration and divestiture related items – Acquisition and integration expenses are incremental charges, other than restructuring or restructuring related expenses, that are directly related to specific business or asset acquisition transactions.  These charges may include, among other things, professional, consulting and other fees; systems integration costs; legal entity restructuring expense; inventory step-up amortization (amortization, through cost of goods sold, of the increase in fair value of inventory resulting from a fair value calculation as of the acquisition date); fair value adjustments to contingent consideration liabilities; and bridge loan facility and backstop financing fees in connection with loan facilities that ultimately were not utilized. Divestiture related activities involve specific business or asset sales.  Depending primarily on the terms of a divestiture transaction, the carrying value of the divested business or assets on our financial statements and other costs we incur as a direct result of the divestiture transaction, we may recognize a gain or loss in connection with the divestiture related activities.Other items – These are discrete items that occur sporadically and can affect period-to-period comparisons. See footnote C to the reconciliation tables set forth below.European medical device regulation – The European Union (“EU”) has adopted the EU Medical Device Regulation (“MDR”), which replaces the existing Medical Devices Directive (“MDD”) and imposes more stringent requirements for the marketing and sale of medical devices in the EU, including requirements affecting clinical evaluations, quality systems and post-market surveillance.  Manufacturers of currently marketed medical devices will have until May 2020 to meet the MDR requirements, although certain devices that previously satisfied MDD requirements can continue to be marketed in the EU until May 2024, subject to certain limitations.  Significantly, the MDR will require the re-registration of previously approved medical devices.  As a result, Teleflex will incur expenditures in connection with the new registration of medical devices that previously had been registered under the MDD. Therefore, these expenditures are not considered to be ordinary course expenditures in connection with regulatory matters (in contrast, no adjustment has been made to exclude expenditures related to the registration of medical devices that were not registered previously under the MDD).Intangible amortization expense – Certain intangible assets, including customer relationships, intellectual property, distribution rights, trade names and non-competition agreements, initially are recorded at historical cost and then amortized over their respective estimated useful lives. The amount of such amortization can vary from period to period as a result of, among other things, business or asset acquisitions or dispositions.Tax adjustments – These adjustments represent the impact of the expiration of applicable statutes of limitations for prior year returns, the resolution of audits, the filing of amended returns with respect to prior tax years and/or tax law or certain other discrete changes affecting our deferred tax liability.RECONCILIATION OF CONSOLIDATED STATEMENT OF INCOME ITEMS
