Medical firm Getinge jumps as rising orders fuel profit beat
Adds share move in paragraph 2, analyst comment in -7
By Greta Rosen Fondahn
July 18 (Reuters) -Swedish medical equipment maker Getinge GETIb.ST beat second-quarter earnings forecasts on Thursday as its order intake rose despite some problems with its packaging and heart products.
The company's shares were up 7% in early Stockholm trading.
Getinge's earnings before interest, tax and amortisation (EBITA), adjusted for items affecting comparability, were 981 million Swedish crowns ($93 million) in the quarter, almost double the 495 million crowns reported a year earlier.
That beat analysts' consensus forecast of 829 million crowns, according to company-provided data.
Getinge has struggled to resolve quality problems with its heart pumps and with sterile packaging of products for heart-lung support systems, which has squeezed its margins and weighed on its shares since the second quarter of last year.
JPMorgan said Getinge's Acute Care Therapies (ACT) segment - its biggest business area that makes heart and intensive care products - drove the earnings beat, despite the quality issues.
"ACT performance is blow-out vs earlier commentary from the company," the brokerage said in a note to clients.
In May, Getinge said it would pause promotional activities and limit sales for some of its heart products in the United States, after the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) advised healthcare facilities to move away from the devices.
"We have accelerated improvement measures and the schedule for the next generation of these products," CEO Mattias Perjos said in a statement, adding it was too early to note any sales trend in the short term.
The maker of products for surgery, intensive care and sterilisation said its orders rose 7.8% organically in April-June to 8.41 billion crowns.
