(Unaudited)
(Dollars in thousands, except per share)
Note 1 Basis of presentation/accounting
policies
Teleflex Incorporated (the Company) is a diversified
industrial company specializing in the design, manufacture and
distribution of specialty-engineered products. The Company
serves a wide range of customers in niche segments of the
commercial, medical and aerospace industries. The Companys
products include: driver controls, motion controls, power and
vehicle management systems and fluid management systems for
commercial industries; disposable medical products, surgical
instruments, medical devices and specialty devices for hospitals
and health-care providers; and repair products and services,
precision-machined components and cargo-handling systems for
commercial and military aviation as well as other industrial
markets.
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of
the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America
for interim financial information and in accordance with the
instructions for
Form 10-Q and
Rule 10-01 of
Regulation S-X.
Accordingly, they do not include all information and footnotes
required by accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America for complete financial statements.
The accompanying financial information is unaudited; however, in
the opinion of the Companys management, all adjustments
(consisting of normal recurring adjustments and accruals)
necessary for a fair statement of the financial position,
results of operations and cash flows for the periods reported
have been included. The results of operations for the periods
reported are not necessarily indicative of those that may be
expected for a full year.
This quarterly report should be read in conjunction with the
consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in
the Companys audited consolidated financial statements
presented in the Companys Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the
fiscal year ended December 25, 2005 filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission.
The Company has revised its condensed consolidated statements of
cash flows to attribute cash flows from discontinued operations
to each of operating, financing and investing activities.
Previously, the Company reported cash flows from discontinued
operations as one line item. The Company has also revised its
condensed consolidated statements of cash flows to attribute
payments to minority interest shareholders as cash flows from
financing activities of continuing operations. Previously, the
Company reported these cash flows as part of cash flows from
operating activities of continuing operations. The Company
revised its 2005 condensed consolidated balance sheet to adjust
for the netting of non-current deferred tax assets and
liabilities. In addition, certain reclassifications have been
made to the prior year condensed consolidated financial
statements to conform to current period presentation. Certain
financial information is presented on a rounded basis, which may
cause minor differences.
Stock-based compensation: On December 26, 2005, the
Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123(R),
Share-Based Payment, which requires the measurement
and recognition of compensation expense for all stock-based
awards made to employees based on estimated fair values.
SFAS No. 123(R) supersedes previous accounting under
Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion
No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees for periods beginning in fiscal 2006. In March
2005, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB)
No. 107, providing supplemental implementation guidance for
SFAS 123(R). The Company has applied the provisions of
SAB No. 107 in its adoption of
SFAS No. 123(R).
SFAS No. 123(R) requires companies to estimate the
fair value of stock-based awards on the date of grant using an
option pricing model. The value of the portion of the award that
is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense over the
requisite service periods. The Company adopted
SFAS No. 123(R) using the

STATEMENTS (Continued)
modified prospective application, which requires the application
of the standard starting from December 26, 2005, the first
day of the Companys fiscal year 2006. The Companys
condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months
ended March 26, 2006 reflect the impact of
SFAS No. 123(R).
Stock-based compensation expense related to employee stock
options recognized under SFAS No. 123(R) for the three
months ended March 26, 2006 was $1,647 and is included in
selling, engineering and administrative expenses. The total
income tax benefit recognized for share-based compensation
arrangements for the three months ended March 26, 2006 was
$322. As of March 26, 2006, total unamortized stock-based
compensation cost related to non-vested stock options was
$12,318, net of expected forfeitures, which is expected to be
recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.3 years.
Prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R), the Company
accounted for stock-based awards to employees using the
intrinsic value method in accordance with APB No. 25, as
allowed under SFAS No. 123, Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation. Under the intrinsic value
method, no stock-based compensation expense for employee stock
options had been recognized in the Companys consolidated
statements of operations because the exercise price of the
Companys stock options granted to employees equaled the
fair market value of the underlying stock at the date of grant.
In accordance with the modified prospective transition method
the Company used in adopting SFAS No. 123(R), the
Companys results of operations prior to fiscal 2006 have
not been restated to reflect, and do not include, the impact of
SFAS No. 123(R).
Stock-based compensation expense recognized during a period is
based on the value of the portion of stock-based awards that is
ultimately expected to vest during the period. Stock-based
compensation expense recognized in the three months ended
March 26, 2006 included compensation expense for
(1) stock-based awards granted prior to, but not yet vested
as of December 25, 2005, based on the fair value on the
grant date estimated in accordance with the pro forma provisions
of SFAS No. 123 and (2) compensation expense for
the stock-based awards granted subsequent to December 25,
2005, based on the fair value on the grant date estimated in
accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R). As
stock-based compensation expense recognized for the first
quarter of fiscal 2006 is based on awards ultimately expected to
vest, it has been reduced for estimated forfeitures.
SFAS No. 123(R) requires forfeitures to be estimated
at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent
periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.
The following table illustrates the pro forma net income and
earnings per share for the three months ended March 27,
2005 as if compensation expense for stock options issued to
employees had been determined consistent with

Stock-based compensation expense is measured using a multiple
point Black-Scholes option pricing model that takes into account
highly subjective and complex assumptions. The expected life of
options granted is derived from the vesting period of the award,
as well as historical exercise behavior, and represents the
period of time that options granted are expected to be
outstanding. Expected volatilities are based on a blend

of historical volatility and implied volatility derived from
publicly traded options to purchase the Companys common
stock, which the Company believes is more reflective of the
market conditions and a better indicator of expected volatility
than solely using historical volatility. The risk-free interest
rate is the implied yield currently available on
U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues with a remaining term
equal to the expected life of the option.
The fair value for options granted in 2006 was estimated at the
date of grant using a multiple point Black-Scholes option
pricing model. The fair value for options granted in 2005 was
estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option
pricing model. The following weighted-average assumptions were

On November 10, 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards
Board (FASB) issued FASB Staff Position
(FSP)
No. FAS 123(R)-3,
Transition Election Related to Accounting for Tax Effects
of Share-Based Payment Awards, that allows for a
simplified method to establish the beginning balance of the
additional paid-in capital pool (APIC Pool) related
to the tax effects of employee stock-based compensation and to
determine the subsequent impact on the APIC Pool and
consolidated statements of cash flows of the tax effects of
employee stock-based compensation awards that are outstanding
upon adoption of SFAS No. 123(R). The Company has not
yet determined if it will elect to adopt the simplified method.
See Note 9 for additional information regarding the
Companys stock compensation plans.
Note 2 New accounting standards
Inventory Costs: In November 2004, the FASB issued
SFAS No. 151, Inventory Costs, an amendment of
ARB No. 43, Chapter 4, which clarifies the types
of costs that should be expensed rather than capitalized as
inventory. This statement also clarifies the circumstances under
which fixed overhead costs associated with operating facilities
involved in inventory processing should be capitalized. The
provisions of SFAS No. 151 are effective for fiscal
years beginning after June 15, 2005. The Company adopted
the provisions of this statement on December 26, 2005 and
it did not have a material impact on the Companys
financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Stock-Based Compensation: In December 2004, the FASB
issued SFAS No. 123(R), Share-Based
Payment, which establishes accounting standards for
transactions in which an entity receives employee services in
exchange for (a) equity instruments of the entity or
(b) liabilities that are based on the fair value of the
entitys equity instruments or that may be settled by the
issuance of equity instruments. SFAS No. 123(R)
requires an entity to recognize the grant-date fair value of
stock options and other equity-based compensation issued to
employees in the statement of income. The statement also
requires that such transactions be accounted for using the
fair-value-based method, thereby eliminating use of the
intrinsic value method of accounting in APB No. 25,
Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, which was
permitted under Statement 123, as originally issued.
SFAS No. 123(R) is effective for fiscal years
beginning after June 15, 2005. The Company adopted the
provisions of this statement on December 26, 2005 using
modified prospective application. See the Stock-based
compensation section of Note 1 above for the effect
of adoption on the Companys financial position, results of
operations and cash flows.

TELEFLEX INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
Accounting Changes and Error Corrections: In May 2005,
the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, Accounting Changes
and Error Corrections. SFAS No. 154 replaces APB
Opinion No. 20, Accounting Changes and
SFAS No. 3, Reporting Accounting Changes in
Interim Financial Statements and changes the requirements
of the accounting for and reporting of a change in accounting
principle. SFAS No. 154 also provides guidance on the
accounting for and reporting of error corrections. The
provisions of this statement are applicable for accounting
changes and error corrections made in fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 2005. The Company adopted the provisions
of this statement on December 26, 2005 and it did not have
a material impact on the Companys financial position,
results of operations or cash flows.
Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments: In February 2006,
the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, Accounting for
Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments.
SFAS No. 155 provides entities with relief from having
to separately determine the fair value of an embedded derivative
that would otherwise be required to be bifurcated from its host
contract in accordance with Statement 133.
SFAS No. 155 allows an entity to make an irrevocable
election to measure such a hybrid financial instrument at fair
value in its entirety, with changes in fair value recognized in
earnings. The election may be made on an
instrument-by-instrument
basis and can be made only when a hybrid financial instrument is
initially recognized or when certain events occur that
constitute a remeasurement (i.e., new basis) event for a
previously recognized hybrid financial instrument. An entity
must document its election to measure a hybrid financial
instrument at fair value, either concurrently or via a
preexisting policy for automatic election. Once the fair value
election has been made, that hybrid financial instrument may not
be designated as a hedging instrument pursuant to
Statement 133. Additionally, SFAS No. 155
requires that interests in securitized financial assets be
evaluated to identify whether they are freestanding derivatives
or hybrid financial instruments containing an embedded
derivative that requires bifurcation (previously, these were
exempt from Statement 133). When determining whether an
interest in securitized financial assets is a hybrid financial
instrument, SFAS No. 155 does not consider a
concentration of credit risk, in the form of subordination of
one interest in securitized assets to another, to be an embedded
derivative. The provisions of this statement are applicable for
all financial instruments acquired, issued or subject to a
remeasurement (new basis) event occurring in fiscal years
beginning after September 15, 2006. The Company is
currently evaluating the impact of SFAS No. 155 on the
Companys financial position, results of operations and
cash flows.

Note 4 Restructuring
During the first quarter of 2006, the Company began a
restructuring activity in its Aerospace Segment. The planned
actions relate to the closure of a manufacturing facility,
termination of employees and relocation of operations. For the
three months ended March 26, 2006, the Company recorded
$199 of termination benefits that are included in restructuring
costs. As of March 26, 2006, the accrued liability
associated with this activity was $199 and was entirely due
within twelve months. The Company expects to incur future
restructuring costs associated with this activity of
approximately $1,300 during the remainder of 2006.
During the fourth quarter of 2004, the Company announced and
commenced implementation of a restructuring and divestiture
program designed to improve future operating performance and
position the Company for future earnings growth. The actions
have included exiting or divesting non-core or low performing
businesses, consolidating manufacturing operations and
reorganizing administrative functions to enable businesses to
share services.
For the three months ended March 26, 2006 and
March 27, 2005, the charges, including changes in
estimates, associated with the 2004 restructuring and
divestiture program by segment that are included in
restructuring costs were as follows:

Termination benefits are comprised of severance-related payments
for all employees terminated in connection with the 2004
restructuring and divestiture program. Contract termination
costs relate primarily to the termination of leases in
conjunction with the consolidation of facilities in the
Companys Medical Segment and in 2005 also include a
$531 reduction in the estimated cost associated with a
lease termination in conjunction with the consolidation of
manufacturing facilities in the Companys Commercial
Segment. Asset impairments relate primarily to machinery and
equipment associated with the consolidation of manufacturing
facilities. Other restructuring costs include expenses primarily
related to the consolidation of manufacturing operations and the
reorganization of administrative functions.

On July 25, 2005, the Companys Board of Directors
authorized the repurchase of up to $140 million of
outstanding Teleflex common stock over twelve months ending July
2006. Under the approved plan, the Company repurchased (in
thousands) 279 shares on the open market for an aggregate
purchase price of $18,179 during the first quarter of 2006.

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by
the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during
the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed in the same
manner except that the weighted average number of shares is
increased for dilutive securities. The difference between basic
and diluted weighted average common shares results from the
assumption that dilutive stock options were exercised. A
reconciliation of basic to diluted weighted average shares
outstanding is as follows:

Note 9 Stock compensation plans
The Company has stock-based compensation plans that provide for
the granting of incentive and non-qualified options to officers
and key employees to purchase up to 4,000,000 shares of common
stock at the market price of the stock on the dates options are
granted. Outstanding options generally are exercisable three to
five years after the date of the grant and expire no more than
ten years after the grant.

Note 10 Pension and other postretirement
benefits
The Company has a number of defined benefit pension and
postretirement plans covering eligible U.S. and
non-U.S. employees.
The defined benefit pension plans are primarily noncontributory.
The benefits under these plans are based primarily on years of
service and employees pay near retirement. The
Companys funding policy for U.S. plans is to
contribute annually, at a minimum, amounts required by
applicable laws

STATEMENTS (Continued)
and regulations. Obligations under
non-U.S. plans are
systematically provided for by depositing funds with trustees or
by book reserves.
The parent Company and certain subsidiaries provide medical,
dental and life insurance benefits to pensioners and survivors.
The associated plans are unfunded and approved claims are paid
from Company funds.

Note 11 Commitments and contingent
liabilities
Product warranty liability: The Company warrants to the
original purchaser of certain of its products that it will, at
its option, repair or replace, without charge, such products if
they fail due to a manufacturing defect. Warranty periods vary
by product. The Company has recourse provisions for certain
products that would enable recovery from third parties for
amounts paid under the warranty. The Company accrues for product
warranties when, based on available information, it is probable
that customers will make claims under warranties relating to
products that have been sold, and a reasonable estimate of the
costs (based on historical claims experience relative to sales)
can be made. Set forth below is a reconciliation of the
Companys estimated product warranty liability for the
three months ended March 26, 2006:

Operating leases: The Company uses various leased
facilities and equipment in its operations. The terms for these
leased assets vary depending on the lease agreement. The Company
also has synthetic lease programs that are used primarily for
plant and equipment. In connection with the synthetic and other
leases, the Company had residual value guarantees in the amount
of $6,859 at March 26, 2006. The Companys future
payments cannot exceed the minimum rent obligation plus the
residual value guarantee amount. The guarantee amounts are tied
to the unamortized lease values of the assets under synthetic
lease, and are due should the Company decide neither to renew
these leases, nor to exercise its purchase option. At
March 26, 2006, the Company had no liabilities recorded for
these obligations. Any residual value guarantee amounts paid to
the lessor may be recovered by the Company from the sale of the
assets to a third party.
Accounts receivable securitization program: The Company
uses an accounts receivable securitization program to gain
access to enhanced credit markets and reduce financing costs. As
currently structured, the Company sells certain trade
receivables on a non-recourse basis to a consolidated special
purpose entity, which
13
TELEFLEX INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
in turn sells an interest in those receivables to a commercial
paper conduit. The conduit issues notes secured by that interest
to third party investors. The assets of the special purpose
entity are not available to satisfy the obligations of the
Company. In accordance with the provisions of
SFAS No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and
Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of
Liabilities, transfers of assets under the program qualify
as sales of receivables and accordingly, $40,068 of accounts
receivable and the related amounts previously recorded in notes
payable were removed from the condensed consolidated balance
sheet as of both March 26, 2006 and December 25, 2005.
Environmental: The Company is subject to contingencies
pursuant to environmental laws and regulations that in the
future may require the Company to take further action to correct
the effects on the environment of prior disposal practices or
releases of chemical or petroleum substances by the Company or
other parties. Much of this liability results from the
U.S. Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and
Liability Act (CERCLA), often referred to as
Superfund, the U.S. Resource Conservation and Recovery Act
(RCRA) and similar state laws. These laws require
the Company to undertake certain investigative and remedial
activities at sites where the Company conducts or once conducted
operations or at sites where Company-generated waste was
disposed.
Remediation activities vary substantially in duration and cost
from site to site. These activities, and their associated costs,
depend on the mix of unique site characteristics, evolving
remediation technologies, diverse regulatory agencies and
enforcement policies, as well as the presence or absence of
potentially responsible parties. At March 26, 2006, the
Companys condensed consolidated balance sheet included an
accrued liability of $6,205 relating to these matters.
Considerable uncertainty exists with respect to these costs and,
under adverse changes in circumstances, potential liability may
exceed the amount accrued as of March 26, 2006. The
time-frame over which the accrued amounts may be paid out, based
on past history, is estimated to be 15-20 years.
Litigation: The Company is a party to various lawsuits
and claims arising in the normal course of business. These
lawsuits and claims include actions involving product liability,
intellectual property, employment and environmental matters.
Based on information currently available, advice of counsel,
established reserves and other resources, the Company does not
believe that any such actions are likely to be, individually or
in the aggregate, material to its business, financial condition,
results of operations or liquidity. However, in the event of
unexpected further developments, it is possible that the
ultimate resolution of these matters, or other similar matters,
if unfavorable, may be materially adverse to the Companys
business, financial condition, results of operations or
liquidity. Legal costs such as outside counsel fees and expenses
are charged to expense in the period incurred.
In February 2004, a jury verdict of $34,800 was rendered against
one of the Companys subsidiaries in a trademark
infringement action. In February 2005, the trial judge entered
an order rejecting the jury award in its entirety. Both parties
have filed notice to appeal on various grounds. While the
Company cannot predict the outcome of the appeals, it will
continue to vigorously contest this litigation. No accrual has
been recorded in the Companys condensed consolidated
financial statements.
Other: The Company has various purchase commitments for
materials, supplies and items of permanent investment incident
to the ordinary conduct of business. In the aggregate, such
commitments are not at prices in excess of current market.

Note 13 Discontinued operations and assets
held for sale
On February 28, 2005, the Company completed the sale of
Sermatech International, a surface-engineering/specialty
coatings business, and recorded a pre-tax gain on the sale of
$34,434. Also during the first quarter of 2005, the Company
recognized a $12,874 reduction in the carrying value of its
Tier 1 automotive pedal systems business to the estimated
fair value of the business less costs to sell. For financial
statement purposes, the assets, liabilities, results of
operations and cash flows of these businesses have been
segregated from those of continuing operations and are presented
in the Companys condensed consolidated financial
statements as discontinued operations and assets and liabilities
held for sale.
Revenues of discontinued operations were $1,293 and $55,635 for
the three months ended March 26, 2006 and March 27,
2005, respectively. Operating income from discontinued
operations was $145 and $21,368 for the three months ended
March 26, 2006 and March 27, 2005, respectively.
During the first quarter of 2006, the Company sold a $713 asset
held for sale and recognized a pre-tax gain on the sale of $643.
The Company is actively marketing its remaining assets held for
sale.

Forward-Looking Statements
All statements made in this Quarterly Report on
Form 10-Q, other
than statements of historical fact, are forward-looking
statements. The words anticipate,
believe, estimate, expect,
intend, may, plan,
will, would, should,
guidance, potential,
continue, project, forecast,
confident, prospects, and similar
expressions typically are used to identify forward-looking
statements. Forward-looking statements are based on the
then-current expectations, beliefs, assumptions, estimates and
forecasts about our business and the industry and markets in
which we operate. These statements are not guarantees of future
performance and involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions
which are difficult to predict. Therefore, actual outcomes and
results may differ materially from what is expressed or implied
by these forward-looking statements due to a number of factors,
including changes in business relationships with and purchases
by or from major customers or suppliers, including delays or
cancellations in shipments; demand for and market acceptance of
new and existing products; our ability to integrate acquired
businesses into our operations, realize planned synergies and
operate such businesses profitably in accordance with
expectations; our ability to effectively execute our
restructuring and divestiture program; competitive market
conditions and resulting effects on revenues and pricing;
increases in raw material costs that cannot be recovered in
product pricing; and global economic factors, including currency
exchange rates and interest rates; difficulties entering new
markets; and general economic conditions. For a further
discussion of the risks that our business is subject to, see
Item 1A of our Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the
fiscal year ended December 25, 2005. We expressly disclaim
any intent or obligation to update these forward-looking
statements, except as otherwise specifically stated by us.
Overview
We are focused on achieving consistent and sustainable growth
through the continued development of our core businesses and
carefully selected acquisitions. Our internal growth initiatives
include the development of new products, moving existing
products into market adjacencies in which we already participate
with other products and the expansion of market share. Our core
revenue growth in the first quarter of 2006 as compared to 2005,
excluding the impacts of currency, acquisitions and
divestitures, was 4%. Core growth was strongest in our Aerospace
Segment, which grew 13%, and weakest in our Medical Segment,
which was flat year over year.
Total operating profit increased 4% in the first quarter of 2006
and includes $1.6 million of stock-based compensation
expense, recognized in connection with our adoption of Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards, or SFAS, No. 123(R) in
the first quarter of 2006. The benefits realized from growth and
restructuring activities were partially offset by the impact of
the larger percentage of lower margin business and costs related
to an information systems implementation program in our Medical
Segment.
Results of Operations
Discussion of growth from acquisitions reflects the impact of a
purchased company up to twelve months beyond the date of
acquisition. Activity beyond the initial twelve months is
considered core growth. Core growth excludes the impact of
translating the results of international subsidiaries at
different currency exchange rates from year to year and the
comparable activity of divested companies within the most recent
twelve-month period. The following comparisons exclude the
impact of the automotive pedal systems business, Sermatech
International business, European medical product sterilization
business and small medical business, which have been presented
in our condensed consolidated financial results as discontinued
operations.
|
|
|
Comparison of the three months ended March 26, 2006 and
March 27, 2005 |
Revenues increased 1% in the first quarter of 2006 to
$632.2 million from $623.6 million in the first
quarter of 2005. This increase was due to an increase of 4% from
core growth, offset, in part, by a decrease of 3% from currency.
The Commercial, Medical and Aerospace segments comprised 48%,
32% and 20% of our revenues, respectively.
17
Materials, labor and other product costs as a percentage of
revenues declined to 71.0% in the first quarter of 2006 compared
to 72.1% in the first quarter of 2005. The decline was due
primarily to the impact of certain inventory adjustments
resulting from the restructuring and divestiture program in the
first quarter of 2005. Selling, engineering and administrative
expenses (operating expenses) as a percentage of revenues
increased to 19.5% in the first quarter of 2006 compared with
18.7% in the first quarter of 2005 due primarily to costs
associated with the initial phases of an information systems
implementation program in our Medical Segment, the impact of
expensing stock options under SFAS No. 123(R) and
increased professional fees.
Interest expense declined in the first quarter of 2006
principally as a result of lower debt balances. Interest income
increased in the first quarter of 2006 primarily due to higher
average cash balances related to increased proceeds received
from sales of businesses and assets during 2005. The effective
income tax rate was 28.09% in the first quarter of 2006 compared
with 24.22% in the first quarter of 2005. The higher rate in the
first quarter of 2006 was primarily the result of a higher
proportion of income in the first quarter of 2006 earned in
countries with relatively higher tax rates. Minority interest in
consolidated subsidiaries increased $1.0 million in the
first quarter of 2006 due to increased profits from our entities
that are not wholly-owned. Net income for the first quarter of
2006 was $29.1 million, a decline of 25% from the first
quarter of 2005, due primarily to the impact of the gain on the
sale of the Sermatech business in the first quarter of 2005.
Diluted earnings per share declined 24% to $0.72.
On December 26, 2005, we adopted the provisions of
SFAS No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment,
which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation
expense for all stock-based awards made to employees based on
estimated fair values. SFAS No. 123(R) supersedes
previous accounting under Accounting Principles Board, or APB,
Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees for periods beginning in fiscal 2006. In March
2005, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin, or SAB,
No. 107, providing supplemental implementation guidance for
SFAS 123(R). We have applied the provisions of
SAB No. 107 in our adoption of
SFAS No. 123(R).
SFAS No. 123(R) requires companies to estimate the
fair value of stock-based awards on the date of grant using an
option pricing model. The value of the portion of the award that
is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense over the
requisite service periods. We adopted SFAS No. 123(R)
using the modified prospective application, which requires the
application of the standard starting from December 26,
2005, the first day of our fiscal year 2006. Our condensed
consolidated financial statements for the first quarter of 2006
reflect the impact of SFAS No. 123(R).
Stock-based compensation expense related to employee stock
options recognized under SFAS No. 123(R) for the first
quarter of 2006 was $1.6 million and is included in
selling, engineering and administrative expenses. The total
income tax benefit recognized for share-based compensation
arrangements for the first quarter of 2006 was
$0.3 million. As of March 26, 2006, total unamortized
stock-based compensation cost related to non-vested stock
options was $12.3 million, net of expected forfeitures,
which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average
period of 2.3 years.
Additional information regarding stock-based compensation and
our stock compensation plans is presented in Notes 1 and 9
to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in
this Quarterly Report on
Form 10-Q.
During the first quarter of 2006, we began a restructuring
activity in our Aerospace Segment. The planned actions relate to
the closure of a manufacturing facility, termination of
employees and relocation of operations. For the first quarter of
2006, we recorded $0.2 million of termination benefits that
are included in restructuring costs. We expect to incur future
restructuring costs associated with this activity of
approximately $1.3 million during the remainder of 2006.
During the fourth quarter of 2004, we announced and commenced
implementation of a restructuring and divestiture program
designed to improve future operating performance and position us
for future earnings growth. The actions have included exiting or
divesting non-core or low performing businesses, consolidating
manufacturing operations and reorganizing administrative
functions to enable businesses to share services. The charges,
including changes in estimates, associated with the 2004
restructuring and divestiture program for continuing operations
that are included in restructuring costs during the first
quarter of 2006 totaled
18
$4.3 million and were attributable to our Medical Segment.
The charges, including changes in estimates, associated with the
2004 restructuring and divestiture program for continuing
operations that are included in restructuring costs during the
first quarter of 2005 totaled $7.3 million, of which 6%,
58% and 36% were attributable to our Commercial, Medical and
Aerospace segments, respectively. As of March 26, 2006, we
expect to incur future restructuring costs associated with our
2004 restructuring and divestiture program of between
$8.8 million and $10.8 million in our Medical Segment
during the remainder of 2006. For a more complete discussion,
see Note 4 to our condensed consolidated financial
statements included in this Quarterly Report on
Form 10-Q.
Segment Reviews
The following is a discussion of our segment operating results.
|
|
|
Comparison of the three months ended March 26, 2006 and
March 27, 2005 |
Commercial Segment revenues increased $0.7 million in the
first quarter of 2006 to $304.5 million from
$303.8 million in the first quarter of 2005. The increase
was due to a 3% increase from core growth, offset primarily by a
3% decrease from currency. The segment benefited from sales of
new products for the marine market, including steering and
engine controls, sales of alternative fuel systems and auxiliary
power systems and sales of heavy-duty rigging and cable used in
marine construction and the securing of oil platforms. This was
partially offset by a decline in sales of Tier 1 automotive
driver controls in the European market when compared to the
prior year period.
Commercial Segment operating profit declined 18% in the first
quarter of 2006 to $20.4 million from $24.8 million in
the first quarter of 2005. This decline reflects the impact of
costs related to new product production for driver control
products in the marine and industrial markets and the mix impact
created by a wind down in sales and production of power sources
used by the military and an increase in volume for lower-margin
industrial and automotive products. Operating profit as a
percent of revenues declined to 6.7% in the first quarter of
2006 from 8.2% in the first quarter of 2005.
Medical Segment revenues declined 3% in the first quarter of
2006 to $203.1 million from $209.9 million in the
first quarter of 2005. Modest increases in the contribution from
new products were more than offset by the negative impact of
currency translation, with core growth relatively flat. The
segment also saw lower volume for orthopedic specialty devices
sold to medical device manufacturers and lower volume for
surgical instruments for the hospital market as a result of
temporary manufacturing disruptions at a key supplier.
Medical Segment operating profit declined 8% in the first
quarter of 2006 to $30.3 million from $32.9 million in
the first quarter of 2005. This decline was primarily the result
of the impact of currency translation and costs associated with
supporting future growth. These costs included the initial
phases of an information systems implementation program,
expanding Medical OEM capacity and operational inefficiencies
resulting from consolidation of distribution to support sales
expansion. Operating profit as a percent of revenues declined to
14.9% in the first quarter of 2006 from 15.7% in the first
quarter of 2005.
Aerospace Segment revenues increased 13% in the first quarter of
2006 to $124.5 million from $109.9 million in the
first quarter of 2005. This increase was due to increases of 13%
from core growth and 2% from acquisitions, offset, in part, by a
2% decrease from currency. All three principal businesses in the
segment experienced double-digit percentage increases, the most
significant of which related to sales of wide-body
cargo-handling systems.
Aerospace Segment operating profit increased to
$11.4 million in the first quarter of 2006 from
$2.0 million in the first quarter of 2005. Operating profit
increased as a result of higher volume levels across
19
the segment and the benefits of restructuring actions taken in
2005. Operating profit as a percent of revenues increased to
9.2% in the first quarter of 2006 from 1.8% in the first quarter
of 2005.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Operating activities provided net cash of approximately
$36.0 million during the first quarter of 2006. Changes in
our operating assets and liabilities during the first quarter of
2006 resulted in a net cash outflow of $24.9 million, the
most significant of which were increases in accounts receivable
and inventories and a decrease in accounts payable and accrued
expenses, offset, in part, by an increase in income taxes
payable and deferred income taxes. Our financing activities
during the first quarter of 2006 consisted primarily of a
decrease in notes payable and current borrowings of
$36.0 million, purchases of treasury stock of
$18.2 million and payment of dividends of
$10.1 million. Our investing activities during the first
quarter of 2006 consisted primarily of capital expenditures of
$14.2 million. During the first quarter of 2006, we also
made a $5.6 million working capital payment for a divested
business and a $4.3 million deferred payment related to a
prior period acquisition. Net cash used in discontinued
operations was $0.7 million in the first quarter of 2006.
We use an accounts receivable securitization program to gain
access to enhanced credit markets and reduce financing costs. As
currently structured, we sell certain trade receivables on a
non-recourse basis to a consolidated special purpose entity,
which in turn sells an interest in those receivables to a
commercial paper conduit. The conduit issues notes secured by
that interest to third party investors. The assets of the
special purpose entity are not available to satisfy our
obligations. In accordance with the provisions of
SFAS No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and
Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of
Liabilities, transfers of assets under the program qualify
as sales of receivables and accordingly, $40.1 million of
accounts receivable and the related amounts previously recorded
in notes payable were removed from the condensed consolidated
balance sheet as of both March 26, 2006 and
December 25, 2005.
On July 25, 2005, our Board of Directors authorized the
repurchase of up to $140 million of outstanding Teleflex
common stock over twelve months ending July 2006. Under the
approved plan, we repurchased 0.3 million shares on the
open market during the first quarter of 2006 for an aggregate
purchase price of $18.2 million.

Item 3. |
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk |
There have been no significant changes in market risk for the
quarter ended March 26, 2006. See the information set forth
in Part II, Item 7A of the Companys Annual
Report on
Form 10-K for the
fiscal year ended December 25, 2005.
|
|
Item 4. |
Controls and Procedures |
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive
Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness
of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the
period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the
Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded
that our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the
period covered by this report are functioning effectively to
provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be
disclosed by us in reports filed under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934 is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and
reported within the time periods specified in the SECs
rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to
our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions
regarding disclosure. A controls system cannot provide absolute
assurance that the objectives of the controls system are met,
and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance
that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a
company have been detected.
(b) Change in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
No change in our internal control over financial reporting
occurred during our most recent fiscal quarter that has
materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially
affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II OTHER INFORMATION
|
|
Item 1. |
Legal Proceedings |
We are a party to various lawsuits and claims arising in the
normal course of business. These lawsuits and claims include
actions involving product liability, intellectual property,
employment and environmental matters. Based on information
currently available, advice of counsel, established reserves and
other resources, we do not believe that any such actions are
likely to be, individually or in the aggregate, material to our
business, financial condition, results of operations or
liquidity. However, in the event of unexpected further
developments, it is possible that the ultimate resolution of
these matters, or other similar matters, if unfavorable, may be
materially adverse to our business, financial condition, results
of operations or liquidity.
In February 2004, a jury verdict of $34.8 million was
rendered against one of our subsidiaries in a trademark
infringement action. In February 2005, the trial judge entered
an order rejecting the jury award in its entirety. Both parties
have filed notice to appeal on various grounds. While we cannot
predict the outcome of the appeals, we will continue to
vigorously contest this litigation.
There have been no significant changes in risk factors for the
quarter ended March 26, 2006. See the information set forth
in Part I, Item 1A of the Companys Annual Report
on Form 10-K for
the fiscal year ended December 25, 2005.

Item 2. |
Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of
Proceeds |
On July 25, 2005, our Board of Directors authorized the
repurchase of up to $140 million of outstanding Teleflex
common stock over twelve months ending July 2006. Under the
approved plan, we repurchased 690,100 shares on the open
market during 2005 for an aggregate purchase price of
$46.5 million. The following table sets forth certain
