MEDTRONIC REPORTS FIRST QUARTER FINANCIAL RESULTS

DUBLIN - August 20, 2019 - Medtronic plc (NYSE:MDT) today announced financial results for its first quarter of fiscal year 2020, which ended July 26, 2019.

The company reported first quarter worldwide revenue of $7.493 billion, an increase of 1.5 percent as reported or 3.5 percent on a constant currency basis, which adjusts for a $146 million negative impact from foreign currency. As reported, first quarter GAAP net income and diluted EPS were $864 million and $0.64, respectively. As detailed in the financial schedules included through the link at the end of this release, first quarter non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted EPS were $1.703 billion and $1.26, respectively, increases of 6 percent and 8 percent, respectively. Adjusting for a negative 2 cent impact from foreign currency, first quarter non-GAAP diluted EPS increased 9 percent.

First quarter U.S. revenue of $3.918 billion represented 52 percent of company revenue and increased 1.4 percent as reported. Non-U.S. developed market revenue of $2.377 billion represented 32 percent of company revenue and decreased 1.2 percent as reported and increased 2.6 percent on a constant currency basis. Emerging market revenue of $1.198 billion represented 16 percent of company revenue and increased 7.5 percent as reported and 12.5 percent on a constant currency basis.

"Medtronic had a solid first quarter, delivering revenue growth, operating margin expansion, and adjusted EPS growth all ahead of expectations," said Omar Ishrak, Medtronic chairman and chief executive officer. "It's a good start to our fiscal year."

Cardiac and Vascular Group

The Cardiac and Vascular Group (CVG) includes the Cardiac Rhythm & Heart Failure (CRHF), Coronary & Structural Heart (CSH), and Aortic, Peripheral & Venous (APV) divisions. CVG first quarter revenue of $2.790 billion decreased 0.7 percent as reported and increased 1.4 percent on a constant currency basis. CVG's revenue performance was driven by mid-single digit growth in CSH and low-single digit growth in APV, offset by low-single digit declines in CRHF, all on a constant currency basis.

Minimally Invasive Therapies Group

The Minimally Invasive Therapies Group (MITG) includes the Surgical Innovations (SI) and the Respiratory, Gastrointestinal & Renal (RGR) divisions. MITG first quarter revenue of $2.100 billion increased 2.3 percent as reported or 4.8 percent on a constant currency basis. MITG's revenue performance was driven by balanced growth across both divisions, with mid-single digit constant currency growth in both SI and RGR.

Restorative Therapies Group

The Restorative Therapies Group (RTG) includes the Brain Therapies, Spine, Specialty Therapies, and Pain Therapies divisions. RTG first quarter revenue of $2.012 billion increased 3.2 percent as reported or 4.6 percent on a constant currency basis. RTG's revenue performance was driven by low-double digit growth in Brain Therapies, mid-single digit growth in Specialty Therapies, and low-single digit growth in Spine, offset by mid-single digit declines in Pain Therapies, all on a constant currency basis.

Diabetes Group first quarter revenue of $592 million increased 3.5 percent as reported or 5.4 percent on a constant currency basis. Diabetes Group revenue performance was led by international markets, which grew 15.3 percent as reported or 19.8 percent on a constant currency basis, driven by the ongoing launch of the MiniMed 670G hybrid closed loop insulin pump system with the Guardian Sensor 3.

Sales of integrated continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) sensors grew in the mid-teens on a constant currency basis, driven by global adoption of sensor-augmented insulin pump systems and the resulting strong sensor attachment rates. The Diabetes Group also continued to see strong adoption of the Guardian Connect Smart CGM system, which grew in the high-eighties.

The company today reiterated its revenue growth guidance and raised its EPS guidance for fiscal year 2020.

The company continues to expect revenue growth in its fiscal year 2020 to approximate 4.0 percent on an organic basis. If current exchange rates hold, revenue growth in fiscal year 2020 would be negatively affected by 0.8 to 1.2 percent.

The company increased its fiscal year 2020 diluted non-GAAP EPS guidance from the prior range of $5.44 to $5.50 to the new range of $5.54 to $5.60, including an estimated 10 cent negative impact from foreign exchange based on current rates.

"As a result of our first quarter outperformance and confidence in our outlook, we are raising our full year EPS guidance," said Ishrak. "We're excited about what lies ahead, as we expect the investments we've made in our pipeline to begin to pay off with multiple pipeline catalysts, accelerating revenue growth, and value creation for our shareholders."

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

This press release contains forward-looking statements, which are subject to risks and uncertainties, including those described in Medtronic's periodic reports and other filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). Anticipated results only reflect information available to Medtronic at this time and may differ from actual results. Medtronic does not undertake to update its forward-looking statements or any of the information contained in this press release. Certain information in this press release includes calculations or figures that have been prepared internally and have not been reviewed or audited by our independent registered public accounting firm, including but not limited to, certain information in the financial schedules accompanying this press release. Use of different methods for preparing, calculating or presenting information may lead to differences and such differences may be material.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

This press release contains financial measures and guidance, including adjusted net income and adjusted diluted EPS, which are considered "non-GAAP" financial measures under applicable SEC rules and regulations. References to quarterly figures increasing, decreasing or remaining flat are in comparison to the first quarter of fiscal year 2019.

Medtronic management believes that non-GAAP financial measures provide information useful to investors in understanding the company's underlying operational performance and trends and to facilitate comparisons with the performance of other companies in the med tech industry. Non-GAAP net income and diluted EPS exclude the effect of certain charges or gains that contribute to or reduce earnings but that result from transactions or events that management believes may or may not recur with similar materiality or impact to operations in future periods (Non-GAAP Adjustments). Medtronic generally uses non-GAAP financial measures to facilitate management's review of the operational performance of the company and as a basis for strategic planning. Non-GAAP financial measures should be considered supplemental to and not a substitute for financial information prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and investors are cautioned that Medtronic may calculate non-GAAP financial measures in a way that is different from other companies. Management strongly encourages investors to review the company's consolidated financial statements and publicly filed reports in their entirety. Reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are included in the financial schedules accompanying this press release.

Medtronic calculates forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures based on internal forecasts that omit certain amounts that would be included in GAAP financial measures. For instance, forward-looking organic revenue growth guidance excludes the impact of foreign currency fluctuations, as well as material acquisitions or divestitures. Forward-looking diluted non-GAAP EPS guidance also excludes other potential charges or gains that would be recorded as Non-GAAP Adjustments to earnings during the fiscal year. Medtronic does not attempt to provide reconciliations of forward-looking non-GAAP EPS guidance to projected GAAP EPS guidance because the combined impact and timing of recognition of these potential charges or gains is inherently uncertain and difficult to predict and is unavailable without unreasonable efforts. In addition, the company believes such reconciliations would imply a degree of precision and certainty that could be confusing to investors. Such items could have a substantial impact on GAAP measures of financial performance.
