INVACARE CORPORATION ANNOUNCES FINANCIAL RESULTS FOR THE FOURTH

QUARTER AND FULL YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2020

Improves full year profitability and achieves breakeven free cash flow

Turns North America segment profitable for the year

Provides 2021 guidance and outlook

ELYRIA, Ohio - (February 10, 2021) - Invacare Corporation (NYSE: IVC) ("Invacare" or the "company") today announced its financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2020.

Fourth Quarter and Full Year Summary

Reflecting on 2020 results, Matt Monaghan, chairman, president and chief executive officer, commented, "We started 2020 enthusiastic for a strong year of commercial execution, launching new products and continuing to simplify our business. I'm pleased that, despite the unforeseen challenges of the pandemic, we still managed to achieve remarkable results. As guided, in the fourth quarter we achieved improvement in sequential consolidated net sales of 5.7% and constant currency sequential net sales of 4.2%, driven by continued respiratory strength, increased sales of lifestyle products, and growth in North America mobility and seating products. In addition, sequential gross profit increased 100 basis points and free cash flow improved by $17.4 million sequentially. This would not have been possible without the inspired and tireless support of our associates, who battled through global supply challenges, found creative ways to engage with our customers and end users, and adapted quickly to new work environments, all while ensuring the health and safety of our colleagues.

With fourth quarter adding to the strong results from the three prior quarters, full year operating income increased $21.7 million and Adjusted EBITDA increased $3.2 million compared to prior year, despite the pandemic's challenges to healthcare access and supply chain fulfillment. During the year, we launched compelling new products, improved gross profit margin, and effectively managed SG&A expenses to achieve these results. Importantly, after years of improvements, North America returned to profitability with a more than $17.0 million improvement in operating income on a modest increase in constant currency net sales.

Looking ahead, we expect revenue growth from our full offering of recently launched products and the pipeline of more new products launching in 2021. We anticipate pent-up demand for mobility and seating products to support sales growth in the future as public health restrictions diminish. In addition, the German plant consolidation completed in 2020, and the ongoing IT modernization program, will simplify how we do business and generate sustainable growth, long-term profit and shareholder value.

While we could not have predicted the pandemic that tested the resolve of our customers, suppliers, associates and people who rely on our products every day, I am incredibly proud of all we accomplished."

Key Metrics and Financial Results (4Q20 versus 4Q19*)

  • • Reported net sales decreased 3.8% to $224.0 million, and constant currency net sales(a) decreased 5.7%.

◦ Revenue growth in respiratory products was more than offset by lower sales of mobility and seating and lifestyle products, which continued to be impacted by limited access to healthcare professionals and long-term care facilities.

  • • Operating income was $1.2 million compared to a loss of $3.8 million.

    ◦ The improvement of $5.0 million was primarily driven by lower SG&A and restructuring expenses.

    Gross profit margin was favorable due to product mix partially offset by unfavorable manufacturing variances due to lower volume. In general, revenue growth was also negatively affected by the pandemic's impact on the overall economy which more than likely adversely impacted sales beyond access to healthcare facilities and professionals.

  • • Adjusted EBITDA(c) was $9.5 million compared to $13.9 million, due to reduced gross profit on lower sales partially offset by lower SG&A expenses.

  • • Free cash flow(d) was $15.6 million, an improvement of $11.8 million, compared to $3.8 million, driven primarily by lower working capital and higher operating income.

* Date format is quarter and year in each instance.

  • • Reported net sales decreased 8.3% to $850.7 million and constant currency net sales decreased 7.2%

    ◦ Revenue growth in respiratory products was more than offset by lower sales of mobility and seating and lifestyle products, which continued to be impacted by limited access to healthcare professionals and long-term care facilities.

    ◦ The significant improvement of $21.7 million was primarily driven by lower SG&A expenses, gain from the divestiture of Dynamic Controls and lower restructuring costs offset by decreased gross profit on lower sales.

  • • Adjusted EBITDA(c) was $31.9 million, an improvement of $3.2 million, driven by lower SG&A expenses.

  • • Free cash flow(d) improved by $8.1 million to break-even, driven primarily by stronger operating results and reduced working capital.

Commenting on the company's financial results for the year ended December 31, 2020, Kathy Leneghan, senior vice president and chief financial officer, stated, "For the full year, we delivered improved financial performance and breakeven free cash flow even against the backdrop of a pandemic which lowered net sales. This performance reflects the impact of our strategic initiatives, which helped us achieve results in-line with our 2020 financial guidance, as well as higher gross profit margin of 60 basis points and lower SG&A expenses. Importantly, we also took steps to improve our financial flexibility by substantially addressing a significant portion of our near-term debt through retiring or extending the maturity of our convertible notes due in 2021 and 2022."

      (3)

      Reflects the combined availability of the company's North American and European asset-based revolving credit facilities before borrowings. The change in borrowing availability is due to changes in the calculated borrowing base. At December 31, 2020 the company had drawn $20,000,000 on the North American credit facility and $11,502,000 on the European credit facility. Outstanding borrowings are based on credit availability calculated on a month lag related to the European credit facility. The company had no borrowings on credit facilities at December 31, 2019.

      In 4Q20, the company generated $15.6 million of free cash flow compared to $3.8 million in 4Q19. The improvement in free cash flow was attributable to higher operating income and improved working capital.

      Total debt outstanding as of December 31, 2020 consisted of $231.3 million in convertible debt, $31.5 million of credit facilities, $66.5 million in financing leases and $10.6 million of other debt. Total and long-term debt as of

December 31, 2020 included unamortized debt discounts of $25.1 million and additional offset for debt fees of $3.2 million related to convertible debt.

2020 Highlights

In 2020, the company made significant progress in its plan to drive improved financial performance and strengthen its overall business profile by taking actions such as:

  • • Enhancing its award winning product portfolio, launching power wheelchairs with standing capabilities, power add-ons for manual wheelchairs, beds, lifts, and slings, all of which are expected to drive future incremental sales and expand margins;

  • • Completing the outsourcing of the IT infrastructure and commencing the roll out of a modernized IT systems in Canada and New Zealand;

  • • Completing the consolidation of three German facilities, which is expected to generate annual pre-tax cost savings of approximately $5 million;

  • • Divesting Dynamic Controls and entering into a long-term supply agreement with Allied Motion Technologies; and,

  • • Strengthening the balance sheet by retiring approximately $25 million of 2021 convertible notes and executing convertible note exchanges that effectively extended the maturity of approximately $74 million of convertible notes to 2024, in addition to the approximately $73 million similarly extended in 2019.

Full Year 2021 Guidance

Based on expectations of continued progress in the company's performance, increased visibility into the path of recovery for its customers, expected improvement in access to healthcare, improvements to global pandemic-related supply chain disruptions, and pent-up demand from the prior year, the company expects operating results for the full year 2021 consisting of:

  • • Constant currency net sales growth in the range of 4% to 7%;

  • • Adjusted EBITDA improvement of 41%, to $45 million; and,

  • • Free cash flow of $5 million.

The company participates in durable healthcare markets and serves a persistent need for its products. The company expects to grow full-year revenue by effectively engaging with customers interested in its broad portfolio and new products. However, public health restrictions currently in place, especially severely in Europe, may result in net sales in the first quarter to be down slightly to mid-single digits as compared to the prior year, which was not impacted by the pandemic. The company will continue to improve operating efficiency, together with the lifting of public health restrictions, yielding improved financial performance. As a result, the company expects to grow revenue, profitability, and free cash flow in the year.

Definitions of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

(a) "Constant currency net sales" is a non-GAAP financial measure, which is defined as net sales excluding the impact of foreign currency translation and further adjusted to exclude the impact of the sale of Dynamic Controls, which was sold in March 2020 and not deemed a discontinued operation for financial reporting purposes. The current year's functional constant currency net sales are translated using the prior year's foreign exchange rates. These amounts are then compared to the prior year's sales to calculate the constant currency net sales change. The "Business Segments Net Sales" table accompanying this press release compares net sales as reported and net sales excluding the effects of foreign exchange translation by segment and for the consolidated company for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. The company believes that this financial measure provides meaningful information for evaluating the core operating performance of the company. This financial measure is reconciled to the related GAAP financial measures in the "Business Segment Net Sales" table included in this press release.

(b) "Constant Currency SG&A" is a non-GAAP financial measure, which is defined as selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expense excluding the impact of foreign currency translation and further adjusted to exclude the impact of the sale of Dynamic Controls, which was sold in March 2020 and not deemed a discontinued operation for financial reporting purposes. The current period's functional constant currency SG&A expenses are translated using the prior year's foreign exchange rates. These amounts are then compared to the prior year's SG&A expenses to calculate the constant currency SG&A expenses change.

(c) "Adjusted EBITDA" is a non-GAAP financial measure, which is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and calculated as net loss plus: income taxes, interest expense-net, net gain or loss on debt convertible debt derivatives, loss on debt extinguishment including debt finance charges and fees, gain on convertible debt derivatives, asset write-downs related to intangible assets, net gain on sale of business, and depreciation and amortization, as further adjusted to exclude charges related to restructuring activities and stock compensation expense. It should be noted that the company's definition of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similar measures disclosed by other companies because not all companies and financial analysts calculate Adjusted EBITDA in the same manner. The company believes that this financial measure provides meaningful information which is used by financial analysts and others in the company's industry to evaluate the performance of the company. This financial measure is reconciled to the related GAAP financial measure in the "Reconciliation of Net Loss to Adjusted EBITDA" table included in this press release.

(d) "Free cash flow (usage)" is a non-GAAP financial measure, which is defined as net cash provided by operating activities less purchases of property and equipment plus proceeds from sales of property and equipment. The company believes that this financial measure provides meaningful information for evaluating the overall financial performance of the company and its ability to repay debt or make future investments. This financial measure is reconciled to the related GAAP financial measure in the "Reconciliation from Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities to Free Cash Flow" table included in this press release.

(e) "Adjusted net loss" is a non-GAAP financial measure, which is defined as net loss before income taxes net of adjusted income taxes. Adjusted net loss before income taxes is computed as the net loss excluding the amortization of convertible debt discounts recorded in interest expense ($2.9 million and $11.5 million pre-tax for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2020, respectively, compared to $2.9 million and $12.3 million pre-tax for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2019), gain on sale of business ($9.8 million pre-tax for the twelve months ended December 31, 2020), asset write-down related to intangibles ($0.6 million for both the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2019), loss on debt extinguishment including debt finance charges and fees (net loss of zero and $7.4 million the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2020, respectively, compared to $5.9 million and $6.2 million pre-tax for the for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2019), gain on convertible debt derivatives ($1.2 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2019). Adjusted income taxes are computed as taxes as calculated for GAAP then adjusted for an expense or benefit at the statutory rate related to pretax adjustments related to locations without a valuation allowance, the exclusion of uncertain tax liabilities deemed not related to current operations or the exclusion of taxes related to nonrecurring sales of non-inventory product or entities on an intercompany basis as well as the impact from the sale of Dynamic Controls in March 2020 including the release of a valuation allowance within the company's New Zealand entity in December 2020. (Note: The U.S. is in a full valuation allowance and accordingly, no tax expense adjustments are appropriate related to U.S. pre-tax adjustments.) This financial measure is reconciled to the related GAAP financial measure in the "Reconciliation of Net Loss per Share to Adjusted Net Loss Per Share" table included in this press release.

(f) "Adjusted net loss per share" is a non-GAAP financial measure, which is defined as adjusted net loss(e) divided by weighted average shares outstanding, assuming dilution. It should be noted that the company's definition of adjusted net loss per share may not be comparable to similar measures disclosed by other companies because not all companies and financial analysts calculate Adjusted net loss per share in the same manner. The company believes that its exclusion adjustments are generally recognized by the industry in which it operates as relevant in computing adjusted net loss per share as a supplementary non-GAAP financial measure used by financial analysts and others in the company's industry to meaningfully evaluate operating performance. This financial measure is reconciled to the related GAAP financial measure in the "Reconciliation of Net Loss Per Share to Adjusted Net Loss per Share" table included in this press release.

(g) "Constant currency sequential net sales" is a non-GAAP financial measure, in which a given quarter's net sales are compared to the most recent prior quarter's net sales with each quarter's net sales translated at the foreign exchange rates for the most recent prior quarter. The company believes that this financial measure provides meaningful information for evaluating the core operating performance of the company. This financial measure is reconciled to the related GAAP financial measures in the "Business Segment Net Sales" table included in this press release.

(h) "Constant currency sequential SG&A" is a non-GAAP financial measure, which is defined as selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expense excluding the impact of foreign currency translation. The current quarter's functional constant currency SG&A expenses are translated using the prior quarter's foreign exchange rates. These amounts are then compared to the prior quarter's SG&A expenses to calculate the constant currency sequential SG&A change.
