First Quarter 2023 Segment Performance
•Codman Specialty Surgical (~65% of Revenues)
•Total revenues were $248.1 million, representing reported growth of 0.3% and organic growth of 3.5% compared to the first quarter of 2022, driven by strength in CUSA Clarity capital and disposables and Certas Plus valves, including high single-digit growth for international, led by Japan and China. The growth momentum was partially offset by the lack of CereLink monitor revenue in the quarter, following the third quarter 2022 recall, as well as continued supply challenges.

Tissue Technologies (~35% of Revenues)
•Total revenues were $132.7 million, representing reported growth of 2.6% and organic growth of 6.8% compared to the first quarter of 2022, driven by broad strength in our Wound Reconstruction portfolio, with double digit growth from Integra Skin, MicroMatrix, Gentrix, and Cytal and high single-digit growth from SurgiMend, partially offset by the continued pressure in Private Label as our partners normalize their inventory levels.

2023 Outlook
For the full year 2023, the Company is reaffirming its February revenue and adjusted EPS expectations of $1,602 to $1,620 million and $3.43 to $3.51, respectively. The revenue range represents reported growth of 2.9% to 4.0%, with organic growth of 4.0% to 5.2%.

For the second quarter 2023, the Company expects reported revenues in the range of $396 million to $400 million, representing reported growth of -0.5% to 0.5% and organic growth of 1.5% to 2.5%. Adjusted earnings per diluted

share are expected to be in the range of $0.75 to $0.79, including the impact of the acceleration of the Boston quality system upgrades from the second half of the year into the second quarter.

The Company’s guidance for the second quarter and full-year organic sales growth excludes acquisitions and divestitures, the effects of foreign currency and the year-over-year change in revenue from discontinued products. Organic growth excludes sales from the TWC divestiture as of September 1, 2022, and sales from the acquisition of SIA through December 1, 2023. Adjusted earnings per share guidance reflects the impact of the divestiture of the TWC business, the SIA acquisition and the impact of foreign currency.
