BOSTON SCIENTIFIC ANNOUNCES SECOND QUARTER 2012 RESULTS

Natick, MA (July 26, 2012) -- Boston Scientific Corporation (NYSE: BSX) generated sales of $1.828 billion and adjusted earnings per share of $0.17 for the second quarter ended June 30, 2012. The company reported a GAAP loss of $2.39 per share, lower than previous guidance due primarily to the impact of an estimated $3.405 billion ($3.427 billion pre-tax) goodwill impairment charge associated with the company's Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) reporting unit.

Second quarter results:

Increased second quarter worldwide Neuromodulation sales 10 percent, Endoscopy sales 7 percent, and Peripheral Interventions sales 7 percent, all on a constant currency basis.

Reported worldwide ICD revenues of $355 million and maintained an estimated market share of approximately 22 percent on a sequential basis.

Received U.S. Food and Drug Administration approvals for its INGENIO™ and ADVANTIO™ pacemakers and INVIVE™ cardiac resynchronization therapy pacemakers.

Completed the acquisition of Cameron Health, Inc. and its novel subcutaneous implantable cardioverter defibrillator (S-ICD) system.






Generated strong operating cash flow of $407 million and repurchased 18 million shares under the 2011 share repurchase authorization.

Growth rates are based on actual, non-rounded amounts and may not recalculate precisely. 

During the second quarter, in conjunction with its annual goodwill impairment test, the company recorded a non-cash $3.405 billion ($3.427 billion pre-tax) estimated goodwill impairment charge associated with its EMEA reporting unit, primarily driven by slightly lower projected long-term growth rates due to macroeconomic factors and its performance in the European market. As a result, GAAP EPS for the second quarter of 2012 was below previous guidance, and the company's updated full year GAAP EPS guidance reflects this charge. The amount of the goodwill impairment charge is subject to finalization and is expected to be in a range of $3.1 billion to $3.7 billion.

On a GAAP basis, net loss for the second quarter of 2012 was $3.404 billion, or a loss of $2.39 per share.  These results included goodwill and other intangible asset impairment charges, acquisition-related net credits, divestiture-, restructuring- and litigation-related charges and amortization expense, of $3.643 billion, or $2.56





per share.  Adjusted net income for the second quarter of 2012, excluding these charges, was $239 million, or $0.17 per share. On an after-tax basis, the primary components of the adjustment made to GAAP net income are an estimated goodwill impairment charge of $3.405 billion ($3.427 billion pre-tax) as noted above, an intangible asset impairment charge of $110 million, and net litigation-related charges of $40 million. 

On a GAAP basis, net income for the second quarter of 2011 was $146 million, or $0.10 per share. Reported results included an intangible asset impairment charge, acquisition- and divestiture-related expenses, restructuring-related charges and amortization expense, of $116 million, or $0.07 per share. Adjusted net income for the second quarter of 2011, excluding these charges, was $262 million, or $0.17 per share.


Guidance for Third Quarter and Full Year 2012
 
The company estimates sales for the third quarter of 2012 in a range of $1.725 billion to $1.825 billion. The company estimates earnings on a GAAP basis in a range of $0.06 to $0.09 per share. Adjusted earnings, excluding acquisition- and restructuring-related charges and amortization expense are estimated in a range of $0.14 to $0.17 per share.

The company estimates sales for the full year 2012 in a range of $7.2 billion to $7.4 billion. The company estimates losses on a GAAP basis in a range of $2.16 to $2.09 per share. Adjusted earnings, excluding goodwill and other intangible asset impairment charges, acquisition-, restructuring- and litigation-related charges and amortization expense are estimated in a range of $0.62 to $0.68 per share.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
 
To supplement Boston Scientific's consolidated financial statements presented on a GAAP basis, the Company discloses certain non-GAAP financial measures, including adjusted net income and adjusted net income per share that exclude certain amounts and regional and divisional revenue growth rates that exclude the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. These non-GAAP financial measures are not in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.
 
The GAAP financial measure most directly comparable to adjusted net income is GAAP net income and the GAAP financial measure most directly comparable to adjusted net income per share is GAAP net income per share. To calculate regional and divisional revenue growth rates that exclude the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, the Company converts actual net sales from local currency to U.S. dollars using constant foreign currency exchange rates in the current and prior period. The GAAP financial measure most directly comparable to this non-GAAP financial measure is growth rate percentages using net sales on a GAAP basis. Reconciliations of each of these non-GAAP financial measures to the corresponding GAAP financial measure are included in the accompanying schedules.
 
Management uses these supplemental non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate performance period over period, to analyze the underlying trends in the Company's business, to assess its performance relative to its competitors, and to establish operational goals and forecasts that are used in allocating resources. In addition, management uses these non-GAAP financial measures to further its understanding of the performance of the Company's operating segments. The adjustments excluded from the Company's non-GAAP financial measures are consistent with those excluded from its operating segments' measures of profit or loss. These adjustments are excluded from the segment measures that are reported to the Company's chief operating decision maker that are used to make operating decisions and assess performance.
 
The Company believes that presenting adjusted net income, adjusted net income per share and regional and divisional revenue growth rates that exclude the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, in addition to the corresponding GAAP financial measures, provides investors greater transparency to the information used by Boston Scientific management for its financial and operational decision-making and allows investors to see Boston Scientific's results “through the eyes” of management. The Company further believes that providing this information assists Boston Scientific's investors in understanding the Company's operating performance and the methodology used by management to evaluate and measure such performance.
 
The following is an explanation of each of the adjustments that management excluded as part of these non-GAAP financial measures for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 and for the forecasted three month period ending September 30, 2012 and full year ending December 31, 2012, as well as reasons for excluding each of these individual items:







Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Net Income per Share

 
Goodwill and other intangible asset impairment charges - These amounts represents a) a non-cash write-down of the Company's goodwill balance attributable to its Europe/Middle East/Africa (EMEA) reporting unit recorded in the second quarter of 2012, b) a non-cash write-down of the Company's goodwill balance attributable to its U.S. Cardiac Rhythm Management reporting unit recorded in the first quarter of 2011 and c) non-cash write-downs of certain intangible asset balances. Management removes the impact of non-cash impairment charges from the Company's operating performance to assist in assessing the Company's cash generated from operations. Management believes this is a critical metric for the Company in measuring the Company's ability to generate cash and invest in the Company's growth. Therefore, these charges are excluded from management's assessment of operating performance and are also excluded for purposes of calculating these non-GAAP financial measures to facilitate an evaluation of the Company's current operating performance and a comparison to the Company's past operating performance, particularly in terms of liquidity.

 
Acquisition-related charges (credits) - These adjustments consist of (a) acquisition-related gains on previously held investments, (b) contingent consideration fair value adjustments, (c) due diligence, other fees and exit costs, and (d) an inventory step-up adjustment. The acquisition-related gains on previously held investments are non-recurring benefits associated with acquisitions completed in the second quarter of 2012 and the first quarter of 2011. The contingent consideration adjustments are non-cash charges representing accounting adjustments to state contingent consideration liabilities at their estimated fair value. These adjustments can be highly variable depending on the assessed likelihood and amount of future contingent consideration payments. Due diligence, other fees and exit costs include legal, tax, severance and other expenses associated with prior acquisitions that are not representative of on-going operations. The inventory step-up adjustment is a non-cash charge related to acquired inventory directly attributable to prior acquisitions and is not indicative of the Company's on-going operations, or on-going cost of products sold. Accordingly, management excluded these amounts for purposes of calculating these non-GAAP financial measures to facilitate an evaluation of the Company's current operating performance and a comparison to the Company's past operating performance.

 
Divestiture-related charges (credits) - These amounts represent (a) gains resulting from business divestitures and (b) fees and separation costs associated with business divestitures. The Company completed the sale of its Neurovascular business in January 2011 and the resulting gain is not indicative of future operating performance and is not used by management to assess operating performance. Fees and separation costs represent those associated with the Company's divestiture of its Neurovascular business and are not representative of on-going operations. Accordingly, management excluded these amounts for purposes of calculating these non-GAAP financial measures to facilitate an evaluation of the Company's current operating performance and a comparison to the Company's past operating performance.













 
Restructuring and restructuring-related costs - These adjustments represent primarily severance, costs to transfer production lines from one facility to another, and other direct costs associated with the Company's 2011 Restructuring plan, 2010 Restructuring plan and Plant Network Optimization program. These expenses are excluded by management in assessing the Company's operating performance, as well as from the Company's operating segments' measures of profit and loss used for making operating decisions and assessing performance. Accordingly, management excluded these charges for purposes of calculating these non-GAAP financial measures to facilitate an evaluation of the Company's current operating performance and a comparison to the Company's past operating performance.

 
Litigation-related net charges - These adjustments include certain significant product liability and other litigation-related charges and credits. These amounts are excluded by management in assessing the Company's operating performance, as well as from the Company's operating segments' measures of profit and loss used for making operating decisions and assessing performance. Accordingly, management excluded these amounts for purposes of calculating these non-GAAP financial measures to facilitate an evaluation of the Company's current operating performance and a comparison to the Company's past operating performance.

 
Discrete tax items - These items represent adjustments of certain tax positions, which were initially established in prior periods as a result of intangible asset impairment charges; acquisition-, divestiture-, restructuring- or litigation-related charges (credits). These adjustments do not reflect expected on-going operating results. Accordingly, management excluded these amounts for purposes of calculating these non-GAAP financial measures to facilitate an evaluation of the Company's current operating performance and a comparison to the Company's past operating performance.

 
Amortization expense - Amortization expense is a non-cash charge and does not impact the Company's liquidity or compliance with the covenants included in its credit facility agreement. Management removes the impact of amortization from the Company's operating performance to assist in assessing the Company's cash generated from operations. Management believes this is a critical metric for the Company in measuring the Company's ability to generate cash and invest in the Company's growth. Therefore, amortization expense is excluded from management's assessment of operating performance and is also excluded from the measures management uses to set employee compensation. Accordingly, management has excluded amortization expense for purposes of calculating these non-GAAP financial measures to facilitate an evaluation of the Company's current operating performance, particularly in terms of liquidity.







Regional and Divisional Revenue Growth Rates Excluding the Impact of Changes in Foreign Currency Exchange Rates

 
Changes in foreign currency exchange rates - The impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates is highly variable and difficult to predict. Accordingly, management excludes the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates for purposes of reviewing regional and divisional revenue growth rates to facilitate an evaluation of the Company's current operating performance and a comparison to the Company's past operating performance.
 
Adjusted net income, adjusted net income per share and regional and divisional revenue growth rates that exclude the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates are not in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States and should not be considered in isolation from or as a replacement for the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. Further, other companies may calculate these non-GAAP financial measures differently than Boston Scientific does, which may limit the usefulness of those measures for comparative purposes.
