Total revenues for the third quarter were $226.4 million, reflecting an increase of $28.8 million, or 14.6%, over the third quarter of 2014. 
Excluding the contribution of revenues from acquisitions, discontinued products and the effect of currency exchange rates, revenues increased 7.2% over the third quarter of 2014.
“Revenues from our dural repair, upper extremities and regenerative tissue businesses helped drive organic growth over 7% in the third quarter,” said Peter Arduini, Integra’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “The team accomplished a number of critical milestones including two key acquisitions, the spin-off of SeaSpine and an equity offering, all of which set up the company for the next phase of growth.”
Associated with the SeaSpine separation on July 1, 2015, the Company recorded a one-time, non-cash tax charge of $35.6 million or $1.00 per share to establish a valuation allowance for certain deferred tax assets in the third quarter. The Company reported GAAP net loss of $(31.9) million, or $(0.90) per share, for the third quarter of 2015, compared to GAAP net income from continuing operations of $9.0 million or $0.27 per share, for the third quarter of 2014.
Adjusted measures discussed below are computed with the adjustments to GAAP reporting set forth in the attached reconciliation.
Adjusted net income for the third quarter of 2015 was $27.0 million, or $0.75 per share, compared to adjusted net income of $23.4 million, or $0.71 per share, in the third quarter of 2014.
Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter of 2015 was $47.7 million, or 21.1% of revenue, compared to $44.8 million, or 22.7% of revenue, in the prior year third quarter.
Adjusted free cash flow conversion for the first nine months of 2015 was 80.4% versus 22.6% in the prior-year period.
Outlook for 2015
Based upon the third quarter results, the Company is raising the low end of its previously provided full-year 2015 guidance for continuing operations. The Company now expects revenue of $878 million to $885 million, up from prior guidance of $870 million to $885 million, organic revenue growth of 6% to 7%, up from prior guidance of 6.0%, and adjusted EPS of $3.05 to $3.10, up from prior guidance of 3.00 to $3.10. This guidance also includes an immaterial contribution from the assets acquired from Tornier, completed in October. The Company’s GAAP EPS guidance from continuing operations is now $0.20 to $0.25.
“We are pleased with the consistent financial performance and execution against our plans through the first nine months of the year. TEI and the Salto Talaris(R) are a great fit for Integra and the integrations are proceeding as planned,” said Glenn Coleman, Integra’s Chief Financial Officer. “This gives us the confidence to raise the low-end of our guidance range for total revenue, organic sales growth and adjusted earnings per share.”
In the future, the Company may record, or expects to record, certain additional revenues, gains, expenses or charges as described in the Discussion of Adjusted Financial Measures below that it will exclude in the calculation of adjusted EBITDA and adjusted earnings per share for historical periods and in providing adjusted earnings per share guidance.
