Forward Guidance

The company raised the mid-point of its full-year revenue and adjusted EPS guidance ranges, and adjusted for the completed spin of Embecta Corp. On a post-spin basis the company expects fiscal year 2022 revenues to be in the range of approximately $18.5 billion to $18.7 billion and adjusted diluted EPS to be $11.15 to $11.30.

Positive Outlook

  • Revenue guidance for fiscal year 2022 assumes base business currency-neutral revenue growth of 7.25% to 8.25%.
  • Growth was also aided by the recent acquisition of Venclose.
  • UCC performance was primarily driven by continued strong demand for chronic female incontinence products in the acute care & alternative care settings.
  • PI performance reflects growth in the U.S. across the peripheral vascular disease, end stage kidney disease and oncology platforms and double-digit growth in China across the portfolio.
  • Surgery performance reflects growth across the hernia, biosurgery and infection prevention platforms as deferrable procedure volumes recovered compared to the prior year.

Challenges Ahead

  • Revenue guidance for fiscal year 2022 now assumes approximately $450 million in COVID-19-only diagnostic testing revenues.
  • Foreign exchange would represent a headwind of approximately 200 basis points to total company revenue growth.
  • Management’s outlook assumes continued inflationary and supply chain pressure over the balance of the fiscal year.
  • There should be no further significant escalation of macro-economic headwinds.
  • Management’s outlook assumes no significant or lasting disruptions to deferrable procedure volumes.
