St. Jude Medical Reports Fourth Quarter and Full-Year 2012 Results

ST. PAUL, Minn. – Jan. 23, 2013 – St. Jude Medical, Inc. (NYSE: STJ) today reported sales and net earnings for the fourth quarter and year ended December 29, 2012.

Fourth Quarter and Full-Year Sales

The Company reported net sales of $1.372 billion in the fourth quarter of 2012, a decline of approximately 2 percent compared with the $1.407 billion in the fourth quarter of 2011. Unfavorable foreign currency translation comparisons decreased fourth quarter sales by approximately $23 million.

Net sales in 2012 were $5.503 billion compared to $5.612 billion in 2011, a decrease of about 2 percent. Unfavorable foreign currency translation comparisons decreased full-year 2012 sales by about $137 million. On a currency neutral basis, net sales grew 1 percent over the prior year.

Commenting on the Company’s results and growth program, St. Jude Medical Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer Daniel J. Starks said, “We are particularly pleased with the strong growth of our atrial fibrillation business, our ability to maintain share in the global ICD market and exceeding prior earnings per share guidance for the quarter. We remain firmly committed to delivering strong EPS growth in 2013 without sacrificing investment in our broad portfolio of pipeline products.”

Cardiac Rhythm Management (CRM)

Total CRM sales, which include implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) and pacemaker products, were $682 million for the fourth quarter of 2012, a 6 percent decrease compared to the fourth quarter of 2011.

Total cardiovascular product sales for 2012 were $1.328 billion, down 1 percent from 2011, including a $36 million decrease due to unfavorable foreign currency translations.

Total neuromodulation product sales for 2012 were $423 million, up 1 percent over the prior year including a $7 million decrease due to unfavorable currency translations.

Fourth Quarter and Full-Year Earnings Results

In the fourth quarter, the Company recognized after-tax special charges of $113 million, or $0.36 per share, primarily related to our previously announced restructuring activities. Also, during the fourth quarter, the Company recognized a $46 million income tax charge, or $0.15 per share, related to adjustments to uncertain tax positions associated with the effective settlement of domestic income tax audits.

Including these items, reported net earnings for the fourth quarter of 2012 were $0.39 per share. This compares to reported net earnings for the fourth quarter of 2011 of $0.39 per share. For the full-year 2012, reported net earnings were $752 million, or $2.39 per share.

In accordance with GAAP, reported net earnings for the fourth quarter 2012 do not include any benefit from the research and development tax credit, even though this tax credit was extended for 2012 and 2013 earlier this month retroactive to the beginning of 2012. Including the $0.02 per share benefit of this adjustment and excluding the fourth quarter charges, adjusted net earnings for the fourth quarter of 2012 were $285 million, or $0.92 per share. This compares to adjusted net earnings for the fourth quarter of 2011 of $0.86 per share. A reconciliation of the Company’s non-GAAP adjusted net earnings per share to the Company’s GAAP net earnings per share is provided in the schedule at the end of the press release.

First Quarter and Full-Year 2013 Sales and Earnings Guidance

During a conference call today, St. Jude Medical will provide its range for revenue expectations for the first quarter and full-year 2013 by product category.

The Company expects its consolidated net earnings for the first quarter of 2013 to be in the range of $0.91 to $0.93 per share and for full-year 2013 consolidated net earnings to be in the range of $3.68 to $3.73. A further reconciliation of the Company’s quarterly and annual guidance is provided in the schedule below.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company provides adjusted net earnings and adjusted net earnings per share because St. Jude Medical management believes that in order to properly understand the Company’s short-term and long-term financial trends, investors may wish to consider the impact of certain adjustments (such as in-process research and development charges, impairment charges, restructuring charges, litigation charges or litigation reserve adjustments and income tax adjustments). These adjustments result from facts and circumstances (such as business development activities, restructuring activities, asset impairment events or developments, settlements and other developments relating to litigation and resolution of audits by tax authorities) that vary in frequency and impact on the Company’s results of operations. St. Jude Medical management uses adjusted net earnings and adjusted net earnings per share to forecast and evaluate the operational performance of the Company as well as to compare results of current periods to prior periods on a consolidated basis.

The Company provides constant currency sales growth because St. Jude Medical management believes that in order to properly understand the Company’s short-term and long-term financial trends, investors may wish to consider the impact of foreign currency translation on net sales. St. Jude Medical management uses constant currency sales growth to forecast and evaluate the operational performance of the Company as well as to compare sales of current periods to prior periods.

Non-GAAP financial measures used by the Company may be calculated differently from, and therefore may not be comparable to, similarly titled measures used by other companies. Investors should consider non-GAAP measures in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial performance measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Conference Call/Webcast

St. Jude Medical’s fourth quarter and full-year 2012 earnings call can be heard live today beginning at 7 a.m. CST (also archived for 90 days) on the Investor Relations section of our website sjm.com.
