Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Although Merit’s financial statements are
prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), Merit’s
management believes that the non-GAAP financial measures referenced
in this release provide investors with useful information regarding
the underlying business trends and performance of Merit’s ongoing
operations and can be useful for period-over-period comparisons of
such operations. Non-GAAP financial measures used in this release
include:
- constant
currency revenue;
- constant
currency revenue, organic;
- non-GAAP gross
profit and margin;
- non-GAAP
operating income and margin;
- non-GAAP net
income;
- non-GAAP
earnings per share; and
- free cash
flow.
Merit’s management team uses these non-GAAP
financial measures to evaluate Merit’s profitability and
efficiency, to compare operating and financial results to prior
periods, to evaluate changes in the results of its operating
segments, and to measure and allocate financial resources
internally. However, Merit’s management does not consider such
non-GAAP measures in isolation or as an alternative to measures
determined in accordance with GAAP.
Readers should consider non-GAAP measures used
in this release in addition to, not as a substitute for, financial
reporting measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP
financial measures generally exclude some, but not all, items that
may affect Merit’s net income. In addition, they are subject to
inherent limitations as they reflect the exercise of judgment by
management about which items are excluded. Merit believes it is
useful to exclude such items in the calculation of non-GAAP gross
profit and margin, non-GAAP operating income and margin, non-GAAP
net income, and non-GAAP earnings per share (in each case, as
further illustrated in the reconciliation tables below) because
such amounts in any specific period may not directly correlate to
the underlying performance of Merit’s business operations and can
vary significantly between periods as a result of factors such as
acquisition or other extraordinary transactions, non-cash expenses
related to amortization or write-off of previously acquired
tangible and intangible assets, certain severance expenses,
expenses resulting from non-ordinary course litigation or
administrative proceedings and resulting settlements, corporate
transformation expenses, governmental proceedings or changes in tax
or industry regulations, gains or losses on disposal of certain
assets, and debt issuance costs. Merit may incur similar types of
expenses in the future, and the non-GAAP financial information
included in this release should not be viewed as a statement or
indication that these types of expenses will not recur.
Additionally, the non-GAAP financial measures used in this release
may not be comparable with similarly titled measures of other
companies. Merit urges readers to review the reconciliations of its
non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP
financial measures included herein, and not to rely on any single
financial measure to evaluate Merit’s business or results of
operations.
Constant Currency Revenue
Merit’s constant currency revenue is prepared by
converting the current-period reported revenue of subsidiaries
whose functional currency is a currency other than the U.S. dollar
at the applicable foreign exchange rates in effect during the
comparable prior-year period and adjusting for the effects of
hedging transactions on reported revenue, which are recorded in the
U.S. dollar. The constant currency revenue adjustments of $2.6
million and $7.4 million to reported revenue for the three and
six-month periods ended June 30, 2023, respectively, were
calculated using the applicable average foreign exchange rates for
the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2022.
Constant Currency Revenue, Organic
Merit’s constant currency revenue, organic, is
defined, with respect to prior fiscal year periods, as GAAP
revenue. With respect to current fiscal year periods, constant
currency revenue, organic, is defined as constant currency revenue
(as defined above), less revenue from certain acquisitions. For the
three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2023, Merit’s
constant currency revenue, organic, excludes revenues attributable
to certain assets acquired from AngioDynamics in June 2023.
Non-GAAP Gross Profit and Margin
Non-GAAP gross profit is calculated by reducing
GAAP cost of sales by amounts recorded for amortization of
intangible assets and inventory mark-up related to acquisitions.
Non-GAAP gross margin is calculated by dividing non-GAAP gross
profit by reported net sales.
Non-GAAP Operating Income and
Margin
Non-GAAP operating income is calculated by
adjusting GAAP operating income for certain items which are deemed
by Merit’s management to be outside of core operations and vary in
amount and frequency among periods, such as expenses related to
acquisitions or other extraordinary transactions, non-cash expenses
related to amortization or write-off of previously acquired
tangible and intangible assets, certain severance expenses,
performance-based stock compensation expenses, corporate
transformation expenses, expenses resulting from non-ordinary
course litigation or administrative proceedings and resulting
settlements, governmental proceedings, and changes in governmental
or industry regulations, as well as other items referenced in the
tables below. Non-GAAP operating margin is calculated by dividing
non-GAAP operating income by reported net sales.
Non-GAAP Net Income
Non-GAAP net income is calculated by adjusting
GAAP net income for the items set forth in the definition of
non-GAAP operating income above, as well as for expenses related to
debt issuance costs, gains or losses on disposal of certain assets,
changes in tax regulations, and other items set forth in the tables
below.
Non-GAAP EPS
Non-GAAP EPS is defined as non-GAAP net income
divided by the diluted shares outstanding for the corresponding
period.
Free Cash Flow
Free cash flow is defined as cash flow from
operations calculated in accordance with GAAP, less capital
expenditures for property and equipment calculated in accordance
with GAAP, as set forth in the consolidated statement of cash
flows.
Non-GAAP Financial Measure Reconciliations
The following tables set forth supplemental
financial data and corresponding reconciliations of non-GAAP
financial measures to Merit’s corresponding financial measures
prepared in accordance with GAAP, in each case, for the three and
six-month periods ended June 30, 2023 and 2022. The
non-GAAP income adjustments referenced in the following tables do
not reflect non-performance-based stock compensation expense of
approximately $3.2 million and $2.7 million for the three-month
periods ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively and
$5.8 and $6.1 for the six-month periods ended
June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section
21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and are
subject to risks and uncertainties such as those described in
Merit’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
2022 (the “2022 Annual Report”) and other filings with the SEC.
Such risks and uncertainties include inherent risks and
uncertainties relating to Merit’s internal models or the

raw materials; adverse changes in freight, shipping and
transportation expenses; negative changes in economic and industry
conditions in the United States or other countries, including
inflation; risks relating to Merit’s potential inability to
successfully manage growth through acquisitions generally,
including the inability to effectively integrate acquired
operations or products or commercialize technology developed

regulations in the United States or other jurisdictions;
termination of relationships with Merit’s suppliers, or failure of
such suppliers to perform; concentration of a substantial portion
of Merit’s revenues among a few products and procedures;
development of new products and technology that could render
Merit’s existing or future products obsolete; market acceptance of

products in various jurisdictions outside the United States;
