ITEM 2.02 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

On April 27, 2022, Integra LifeSciences Holdings Corporation (the "Company") issued a press release announcing financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 (the "Press Release"). A copy of the Press Release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference into this Item. In the financial statements portion of the Press Release, the Company has included a reconciliation of GAAP revenues to organic revenues for the quarters ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, GAAP net income to adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") for the quarters ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, GAAP net income to adjusted net income for the quarters ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, GAAP earnings per diluted share to adjusted earnings per diluted share for the quarters ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, and GAAP operating cash flow to free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow conversion used by management for the quarters and twelve months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021.

In the Press Release, the Company provided forward-looking guidance regarding adjusted earnings per diluted share but did not provide a reconciliation to GAAP earnings per share, because certain GAAP expense items are highly variable and management is unable to predict them with reasonable certainty and without unreasonable effort.

The information contained in Item 2.02 of this Current Report on Form 8-K (including the Press Release and selected historical financial information) is being furnished and shall not be deemed "filed" for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that Section. The information contained in Item 2.02 of this Current Report on Form 8-K (including the Press Release and selected historical financial information) shall not be incorporated by reference into any registration statement or other document pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in any such filing.

Discussion of Adjusted Financial Measures

In addition to our GAAP results, we provide certain non-GAAP measures, including organic revenues, adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA"), adjusted net income, adjusted earnings per diluted share, free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow conversion. Organic revenues consist of total revenues excluding the effects of currency exchange rates, revenues from current-period acquisitions and product divestitures and discontinuances. Adjusted EBITDA consists of GAAP net income excluding: (i) depreciation and amortization; (ii) other income (expense); (iii) interest income and expense; (iv) income tax expense (benefit); and (v) those operating expenses also excluded from adjusted net income. The measure of adjusted net income consists of GAAP net income, excluding: (i) structural optimization charges; (ii) divestiture, acquisition and integration-related charges; (iii) EU Medical Device Regulation-related charges; (iv) intangible asset amortization expense; and (v) income tax impact from adjustments. The adjusted earnings per diluted share measure is calculated by dividing adjusted net income attributable to diluted shares by diluted weighted average shares outstanding. The measure of free cash flow consists of GAAP net cash provided by operating activities less purchases of property and equipment. The adjusted free cash flow conversion measure is calculated by dividing free cash flow by adjusted net income.

The Company believes that the presentation of organic revenues and the various adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income, adjusted earnings per diluted share, free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow conversion measures provides important supplemental information to management and investors regarding financial and business trends relating to the Company's financial condition and results of operations. Management uses non-GAAP financial measures in the form of organic revenues, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income, adjusted earnings per diluted share, free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow conversion when evaluating operating performance because we believe that the inclusion or exclusion of the items described below, for which the amounts and/or timing may vary significantly depending upon the Company's divestiture, acquisition, integration, and restructuring activities, for which the amounts are non-cash in nature, or for which the amounts are not expected to recur at the same magnitude, provides a supplemental measure of our operating results that facilitates comparability of our financial condition and operating performance from period to period, against our business model objectives, and against other companies in our industry. We have chosen to provide this information to investors so they can analyze our operating results in the same way that management does and use this information in their assessment of our core business and the valuation of our Company.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Organic revenues, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income, adjusted earnings per diluted share, free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow conversion are significant measures used by management for purposes of:



• supplementing the financial results and forecasts reported to the Company's
board of directors;
• evaluating, managing and benchmarking the operating performance of the
Company;
• establishing internal operating budgets;
• determining compensation under bonus or other incentive programs;
• enhancing comparability from period to period;
• comparing performance with internal forecasts and targeted business models;
and
• evaluating and valuing potential acquisition candidates.

The measure of organic revenues that we report reflects the increase in total revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 adjusted for the effects of currency exchange rates, revenues from acquisitions, revenues from divested products, and product discontinuations on current period revenues. We provide this measure because changes in foreign currency exchange rates can distort our reduction favorably or unfavorably, depending upon the strength of the U.S. dollar in relation to the various foreign currencies in which we generate revenues. We generate significant revenues outside the United States in multiple foreign currencies. We believe this measure provides useful information to determine the success of our international selling organizations in increasing sales of products in their local currencies without regard to fluctuations in currency exchanges rates, which we do not control. Additionally, significant divestitures, acquisitions and discontinued product lines can distort our current period revenues when compared to prior periods.

The measure of adjusted net income reflects GAAP net income adjusted for one or more of the following items, as applicable: •Structural optimization charges. These charges, which include employee severance and other costs associated with exit or disposal of facilities, costs related to transferring manufacturing and/or distribution activities to different locations, and rationalization or enhancement of our organization, existing manufacturing, distribution, administrative, functional and commercial infrastructure. Some of these cost-saving and efficiency-driven activities are identified as opportunities in connection with acquisitions that provide the Company with additional capacity or economies of scale. Although recurring in nature, given management's ongoing review of the efficiency of our organization and structure, including manufacturing, distribution and administrative facilities and operations, management excludes these items when evaluating the operating performance of the Company because the frequency and amount of such charges vary significantly based on the timing and magnitude of the Company's rationalization activities and are, in some cases, dependent upon opportunities identified in acquisitions, which also vary in frequency and magnitude.

•Acquisition, divestiture and integration-related charges. Acquisition, divestiture and integration-related charges include (i) inventory fair value purchase accounting adjustments, (ii) changes in the fair value of contingent consideration after the acquisition date, (iii) costs related to acquisition integration, including systems, operations, retention and severance, (iv) legal, accounting, banking and other outside consultants expenses directly related to acquisitions or divestitures, and (v) gain or loss on sale of business and related costs to complete the divestiture of business. Although recurring, given the ongoing character of our acquisitions and divestitures, these charges are not factored into the evaluation of our performance by management after completion because they are of a temporary nature, they are not related to our core operating performance and the frequency and amount of such charges vary significantly based on the timing and magnitude of our acquisition and divestiture transactions as well as the level of inventory on hand at the time of acquisition.

•EU Medical Device Regulation charges. These charges represent costs specific to complying with the medical device reporting regulations and other requirements of the European Union's regulation for medical devices. Management excludes this item when evaluating the Company's operating performance because these costs incurred are not reflective of its ongoing operations. . . .




Item 8.01. OTHER ITEMS

On April 26, 2022, the Board of Directors of the Company authorized the Company to repurchase up to $225 million of the Company's common stock. The program allows the Company to repurchase its shares opportunistically from time to time. The repurchase authorization expires in December 2024. This stock repurchase authorization replaces the previous $225 million stock repurchase authorization, of which $100 million remained authorized at the time of its replacement, and which was otherwise set to expire on December 31, 2022. Purchases may be effected through one or more open market transactions, privately negotiated transactions, transactions structured through investment banking institutions, accelerated share repurchases, tender offers or open market solicitations for shares, some of which may be effected through Rule 10b5-1 plans, or a combination of the foregoing. The timing of repurchases will depend upon several factors, including market and business conditions, and repurchases may be discontinued at any time.
