(1.)BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Integer Holdings Corporation (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, “Integer” or the “Company”) is a publicly traded corporation listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “ITGR.” Integer is one of the largest medical device outsource manufacturers in the world serving the cardiac, neuromodulation, orthopedics, vascular, advanced surgical and portable medical markets. The Company provides innovative, high-quality medical technologies that enhance the lives of patients worldwide. In addition, it develops batteries for high-end niche applications in the energy, military, and environmental markets. The Company’s reportable segments are: (1) Medical and (2) Non-Medical. The Company’s customers include large multi-national original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”) and their affiliated subsidiaries.

On March 14, 2016, Integer completed the spin-off of a portion of its former QiG segment through a tax-free distribution of all of the shares of its QiG Group, LLC (“QiG”) subsidiary to the stockholders of Integer on a pro rata basis (the “Spin-off”). See Note 2 “Divestiture” for further description of this transaction. The Company’s results include the financial and operating results of QiG until the Spin-off on March 14, 2016.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information (Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 270, Interim Reporting) and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, these financial statements do not include all of the information necessary for a full presentation of financial position, results of operations, and cash flows in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). In the opinion of management, the condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results of the Company for the periods presented. Intercompany transactions and balances have been fully eliminated in consolidation.

Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year financial statements to conform to classifications used in the current year. Refer to Note 15 “Segment Information,” for a description of the changes made to reflect the current year product line sales reporting and changes made to our reportable segment structure during the fourth quarter of 2016.

Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the fiscal year as a whole. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, certain components of equity, sales, expenses, and related disclosures at the date of the financial statements and during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 30, 2016.

The Company utilizes a fifty-two, fifty-three week fiscal year ending on the Friday nearest December 31. The second quarter and first six months of 2017 and 2016 each contained 13 weeks and 26 weeks, respectively, and ended on June 30, and July 1, respectively. The Company’s 2017 and 2016 fiscal years will end or ended on December 29, 2017 and December 30, 2016, respectively.

(2.)    DIVESTITURE

Spin-off of Nuvectra Corporation

On March 14, 2016, Integer completed the spin-off of a portion of its former QiG segment through a tax-free distribution of all of the shares of its QiG Group, LLC subsidiary to the stockholders of Integer on a pro rata basis. Immediately prior to completion of the Spin-off, QiG Group, LLC was converted into a corporation organized under the laws of Delaware and changed its name to Nuvectra Corporation (“Nuvectra”). On March 14, 2016, each of the Company’s stockholders of record as of the close of business on March 7, 2016 received one share of Nuvectra common stock for every three shares of Integer common stock held as of that date. Upon completion of the Spin-off, Nuvectra became an independent publicly traded company whose common stock is listed on the NASDAQ stock exchange under the symbol “NVTR.”

The portion of the QiG segment spun-off consisted of QiG Group, LLC and its subsidiaries: (i) Algostim, LLC (“Algostim”), (ii) PelviStim LLC (“PelviStim”), and (iii) the Company’s NeuroNexus Technologies (“NeuroNexus”) subsidiary. The operations of Centro de Construcción de Cardioestimuladores del Uruguay (“CCC”) and certain other existing QiG research and development capabilities were retained by the Company and not included as part of the Spin-off. As the Company continues to focus on the design and development of complete medical device systems and components, and more specifically on medical device systems and components in the neuromodulation market, the Spin-off was not considered a strategic shift that had a major effect on the Company’s operations and financial results. Accordingly, the Spin-off is not presented as a discontinued operation in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The results of Nuvectra are included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) through the date of the Spin-off.

In connection with the Spin-off, during the first quarter of 2016, the Company made a cash capital contribution of $75 million to Nuvectra and divested the following assets and liabilities (in thousands):

Assets divested
Cash and cash equivalents	$	76,256
Other current assets	977
Property, plant and equipment, net	4,407
Amortizing intangible assets, net	1,931
Goodwill	40,830
Deferred income taxes	6,446
Total assets divested	130,847
Liabilities transferred
Current liabilities	2,119
Net assets divested	$	128,728

For the first quarter of 2016, Nuvectra contributed a pre-tax loss of $5.2 million to the Company’s results of operations.

In connection with the Spin-off, on March 14, 2016, Integer entered into several agreements with Nuvectra that govern its post Spin-off relationship with Nuvectra, including a Separation and Distribution Agreement, Tax Matters Agreement, Employee Matters Agreement and Transition Services Agreement. The Transition Services Agreement contains customary mutual indemnification provisions. Amounts earned by Integer under the Transition Services Agreement were immaterial for the six month periods ended June 30, 2017 and July 1, 2016.

Senior Secured Credit Facilities

The Company has senior secured credit facilities (the “Senior Secured Credit Facilities”) consisting of (i) a $200 million revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”), (ii) a $375 million term loan A facility (the “TLA Facility”), and (iii) a $1,025 million term loan B facility (the “TLB Facility”). The TLA Facility and TLB Facility are collectively referred to as the “Term Loan Facilities.” The TLB facility was issued at a 1% discount.

On March 17, 2017, the Company amended the Senior Secured Credit Facilities to lower the interest rate on the TLB Facility. The amendment reduced the applicable interest rate margins of its TLB Facility for both base rate and adjusted LIBOR borrowings by 75 basis points. The amendment also includes a prepayment fee of 1.00% in the event of another repricing event (as defined in the Senior Secured Credit Facilities) on or before the six-month anniversary of this amendment. There was no change to maturities or covenants under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities as a result of this repricing amendment.

Revolving Credit Facility

The Revolving Credit Facility matures on October 27, 2020. The Revolving Credit Facility also includes a $15 million sublimit for swingline loans and a $25 million sublimit for standby letters of credit. The Company is required to pay a commitment fee on the unused portion of the Revolving Credit Facility, which will range between 0.175% and 0.25%, depending on the Company’s Total Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Senior Secured Credit Facilities agreement). Interest rates on the Revolving Credit Facility, as well as the TLA Facility, are at the Company’s option, either at: (i) the prime rate plus the applicable margin, which will range between 0.75% and 2.25%, based on the Company’s Total Net Leverage Ratio, or (ii) the applicable LIBOR rate plus the applicable margin, which will range between 1.75% and 3.25%, based on the Company’s Total Net Leverage Ratio.

As of June 30, 2017, the Company had $82 million of outstanding borrowings on the Revolving Credit Facility and an available borrowing capacity of $109.2 million after giving effect to $8.8 million of outstanding standby letters of credit. As of June 30, 2017, the weighted average interest rate on all outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility was 4.37%.

Subject to certain conditions, commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility may be increased through an incremental revolving facility so long as, on a pro forma basis, the Company’s first lien net leverage ratio does not exceed 4.25:1.00. The outstanding amount of the Revolving Credit Facility approximated its fair value as of June 30, 2017 based upon the debt being variable rate and short-term in nature.

The TLA Facility and TLB Facility mature on October 27, 2021 and October 27, 2022, respectively. Interest rates on the TLB Facility are, at the Company’s option, either at: (i) the prime rate plus 2.50% or (ii) the applicable LIBOR rate plus 3.50%, with LIBOR subject to a 1.00% floor. As of June 30, 2017, the interest rates on the TLA Facility and TLB Facility were 4.47% and 4.71%, respectively. Subject to certain conditions, one or more incremental term loan facilities may be added to the Term Loan Facilities so long as, on a pro forma basis, the Company’s first lien net leverage ratio does not exceed 4.25:1.00.

As of June 30, 2017, the estimated fair value of the TLB Facility was approximately $918 million, based on quoted market prices for the debt, recent sales prices for the debt and consideration of comparable debt instruments with similar interest rates and trading frequency, among other factors, and is classified as Level 2 measurements within the fair value hierarchy. The par amount of the TLA Facility approximated its fair value as of June 30, 2017 based upon the debt being variable rate in nature.

Covenants

The Revolving Credit Facility and TLA Facility contain covenants requiring (A) a maximum Total Net Leverage Ratio of 6.25:1.00, subject to step downs beginning in the first quarter of 2018 and (B) a minimum interest coverage ratio of adjusted EBITDA (as defined in the Senior Secured Credit Facilities) to interest expense of not less than 2.50:1.00 subject to step ups beginning in the first quarter of 2018. The TLB Facility does not contain any financial maintenance covenants. As of June 30, 2017, the Company was in compliance with these financial covenants.

The Senior Secured Credit Facilities also contain negative covenants that restrict the Company’s ability to (i) incur additional indebtedness; (ii) create certain liens; (iii) consolidate or merge; (iv) sell assets, including capital stock of the Company’s subsidiaries; (v) engage in transactions with the Company’s affiliates; (vi) create restrictions on the payment of dividends or other amounts from the Company’s restricted subsidiaries; (vii) pay dividends on capital stock or redeem, repurchase or retire capital stock; (viii) pay, prepay, repurchase or retire certain subordinated indebtedness; (ix) make investments, loans, advances and acquisitions; (x) make certain amendments or modifications to the organizational documents of the Company or its subsidiaries or the documentation governing other senior indebtedness of the Company; and (xi) change the Company’s type of business. These negative covenants are subject to a number of limitations and exceptions that are described in the Senior Secured Credit Facilities agreement. As of June 30, 2017, the Company was in compliance with all negative covenants under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities.

The Senior Secured Credit Facilities provide for customary events of default. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an event of default, the outstanding advances and all other obligations under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities become immediately due and payable.

Interest Rate Swaps

From time to time, the Company enters into interest rate swap agreements in order to hedge against potential changes in cash flows on its outstanding variable rate debt. During 2016, the Company entered into a one-year $250 million interest rate swap and a three-year $200 million interest rate swap to hedge against potential changes in cash flows on the outstanding variable rate debt, which is indexed to the one-month LIBOR rate. The variable rate received on the interest rate swap and the variable rate paid on the outstanding debt will have the same rate of interest, excluding the credit spread, and will reset and pay interest on the same date. The swaps are being accounted for as cash flow hedges.

During the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company awarded grants of 0.6 million RSUs to certain members of management, of which 0.4 million are performance-based RSUs (“PSUs”) and the remainder are time-based RSUs that vest over three years. Of the PSUs, 0.3 million of the shares subject to each grant will be earned based upon achievement of specific Company performance metrics for the Company’s fiscal year ending December 29, 2017, and 0.1 million of the shares subject to each grant will be earned based on the Company’s achievement of a relative total shareholder return (“TSR”) performance requirement, on a percentile basis, compared to a defined group of peer companies over a two-year performance period ending December 28, 2018. The number of PSUs earned based on the achievement of the Company performance metrics and TSR performance requirements, if any, will vest based on the recipient’s continuous service to the Company over a period of generally one to three years from the grant date. The time-based RSUs generally vest ratably over a three-year period. The RSUs do not have rights to dividends or dividend equivalents.

The grant-date fair value of the TSR portion of the PSUs granted during the six months ended June 30, 2017 was determined using the Monte Carlo simulation model on the date of grant, assuming the following (i) expected term of 1.89 years, (ii) risk free interest rate of 1.12%, (iii) expected dividend yield of 0.0% and (iv) expected stock price volatility over the expected term of the TSR award of 48.9%. The grant-date fair value of all other restricted stock awards is equal to the closing market price of Integer common stock on the date of grant.

Investments in Capacity and Capabilities

One of the Company’s strategic objectives is to invest in its capacity and capabilities in order to better align its resources to meet its customers’ needs and drive organic growth and profitability. Currently this initiative includes the following:

• Functions performed at the Company’s facility in Plymouth, MN to manufacture catheters and introducers will transfer into the Company’s existing facility in Tijuana, Mexico. This initiative is expected to be substantially completed by the end of 2017 and is dependent upon our customers’ validation and qualification of the transferred products as well as regulatory approvals worldwide.

• Functions performed at the Company’s facilities in Beaverton, OR and Raynham, MA to manufacture products for the portable medical market were transferred to a new facility in Tijuana, Mexico. Products manufactured at the Beaverton facility, which do not serve the portable medical market, were transferred to the Company’s Raynham facility. This initiative was substantially completed during the first half of 2016. The final closure of the Beaverton, OR site occurred in the fourth quarter of 2016.

• The design engineering responsibilities previously performed at the Company’s Cleveland, OH facility were transferred to the Company’s facilities in Minnesota in 2015.

• The realignment of the Company’s commercial sales operations was completed in 2015.

The total capital investment expected for these initiatives is between $24.0 million and $25.0 million, of which $23.4 million has been expended through June 30, 2017. Total restructuring charges expected to be incurred in connection with these initiatives are between $53.0 million and $55.0 million, of which $52.0 million has been incurred through June 30, 2017.

(10.)     INCOME TAXES

The income tax provision for interim periods is determined using an estimate of the annual effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete items, if any, that are taken into account in the relevant period. Each quarter, the estimate of the annual effective tax rate is updated, and if the estimated effective tax rate changes, a cumulative adjustment is made. There is a potential for volatility of the effective tax rate due to several factors, including discrete items, changes in the mix and amount of pre-tax income and the jurisdictions to which it relates, changes in tax laws and foreign tax holidays, business reorganizations, settlements with taxing authorities and foreign currency fluctuations.

The Company’s worldwide effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2017 was 27.4% on $4.1 million of income before the provision for income taxes compared to 212.1% on $0.7 million of income before the provision for income taxes for the same period in 2016. Income tax expense for the first six months of 2017 was $1.3 million on $0.1 million of losses before the provision for income taxes compared to $1.4 million on $12.1 million of losses before provision for income taxes for the same period of 2016. The difference between the Company’s effective tax rate and the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate in the current year is primarily attributable to the Company’s overall lower effective tax rate in the foreign jurisdictions in which it operates and where its foreign earnings are derived, including Switzerland, Mexico, Germany, Uruguay, and Ireland. In addition, the Company currently has a tax holiday in Malaysia through April 2018, with a potential extension through April 2023 if certain conditions are met.

As of June 30, 2017, the balance of unrecognized tax benefits is approximately $11.2 million. It is reasonably possible that a reduction of up to $0.6 million of the balance of unrecognized tax benefits may occur within the next twelve months as a result of potential audit settlements. Approximately $10.4 million of the balance of unrecognized tax benefits would favorably impact the effective tax rate, net of federal benefit on state issues, if recognized.

Litigation

The Company is subject to litigation arising from time to time in the ordinary course of its business. The Company does not expect that the ultimate resolution of any pending legal actions will have a material effect on its consolidated results of operations, financial position, or cash flows. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties. As such, there can be no assurance that any pending legal action, which the Company currently believes to be immaterial, will not become material in the future.

In April 2013, the Company commenced an action against AVX Corporation and AVX Filters Corporation (collectively “AVX”) alleging that AVX had infringed on the Company’s patents by manufacturing and selling filtered feedthrough assemblies used in implantable pacemakers and cardioverter defibrillators that incorporate the Company’s patented technology. On January 26, 2016, a jury in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware returned a verdict finding that AVX infringed on two Integer patents and awarded Integer $37.5 million in damages. The finding is subject to post-trial proceedings currently scheduled to be held in August 2017. The Company has recorded no gains in connection with this litigation as no cash has been received.

Product Warranties

The Company generally warrants that its products will meet customer specifications and will be free from defects in materials and workmanship. The Company does not expect future product warranty claims will have a material effect on its condensed consolidated results of operations, financial position, or cash flows. However, there can be no assurance that any future customer complaints or negative regulatory actions regarding the Company’s products, which the Company currently believes to be immaterial, does not become material in the future.

Foreign Currency Contracts

The Company periodically enters into foreign currency forward contracts to hedge its exposure to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations in its international operations. The Company has designated these foreign currency forward contracts as cash flow hedges; and accordingly, the effective portions of the unrealized gains and losses on these contracts is reported in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and is reclassified to earnings in the same periods during which the hedged transactions affect earnings. The estimated Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) related to the Company’s foreign currency contracts that is expected to be reclassified into earnings within the next twelve months is a $1.6 million gain.

In connection with the Lake Region Medical acquisition, the Company terminated its outstanding forward contracts resulting in a $2.4 million payment to the foreign currency contract counterparty during 2015. As of the date the contracts were terminated, the Company had $1.6 million recorded in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) related to these contracts. This amount was fully amortized to Cost of Sales during 2016 as the inventory, which the contracts were hedging the cash flows to produce, was sold.

(14.)     FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

Fair value measurement standards apply to certain financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis (each reporting period). For the Company, these financial assets and liabilities include its derivative instruments. The Company does not have any nonfinancial assets or liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

Foreign Currency Contracts

The fair value of foreign currency contracts were determined through the use of cash flow models that utilize observable market data inputs to estimate fair value. These observable market data inputs included foreign exchange rate and credit spread curves. In addition, the Company received fair value estimates from the foreign currency contract counterparties to verify the reasonableness of the Company’s estimates. The Company’s foreign currency contracts are categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Refer to Note 11 “Commitments and Contingencies” for further discussion regarding the fair value of the Company’s foreign currency contracts.

Interest Rate Swaps

The fair value of the Company’s interest rate swap contracts outstanding were determined through the use of a cash flow model that utilizes observable market data inputs. These observable market data inputs include LIBOR, swap rates, and credit spread curves. In addition, the Company received a fair value estimate from the interest rate swap counterparty to verify the reasonableness of the Company’s estimate. Refer to Note 6 “Debt” for further discussion regarding the fair value of the Company’s interest rate swaps.

The following table provides information regarding assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on a recurring basis (in thousands):

	Fair Value		Quoted Prices in Active Markets (Level 1)		Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)		Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)
June 30, 2017
Assets: Foreign currency contracts	$	1,587	$	—	$	1,587	$	—
Assets: Interest rate swap	3,015		—		3,015		—
December 30, 2016
Assets: Interest rate swaps	$	3,482	$	—	$	3,482	$	—
Liabilities: Foreign currency contracts	2,063		—		2,063		—

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

Fair value standards also apply to certain assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. The carrying amounts of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued expenses approximate fair value because of the short-term nature of these items. Refer to Note 6 “Debt” for further discussion regarding the fair value of the Company’s Senior Secured Credit Facilities and Senior Notes. A summary of the valuation methodologies for assets and liabilities measured on a nonrecurring basis is as follows:

Cost and Equity Method Investments

The Company holds investments in equity and other securities that are accounted for as either cost or equity method investments, which are classified as Other Assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The total carrying value of these investments is reviewed quarterly for changes in circumstance or the occurrence of events that suggest the Company’s investment may not be recoverable. The fair value of cost method investments are not adjusted if there are no identified events or changes in circumstances that may have a material effect on the fair value of the investments.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

(14.)     FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (Continued)

Gains and losses realized on cost and equity method investments are recorded in Other (Income) Loss, Net. The aggregate recorded amount of cost and equity method investments at June 30, 2017 and December 30, 2016 was $18.4 million and $22.8 million, respectively. The Company’s equity method investment is in a Chinese venture capital fund focused on investing in life sciences companies. This fund accounts for its investments at fair value with the unrealized change in fair value of these investments recorded as income or loss to the fund in the period of change. As of June 30, 2017, the Company owned 7.1% of this fund.

During the second quarter of 2017, the Company determined that the fair value of one of its cost method investments was below its carrying value and that the carrying value of this investment was not expected to be recoverable within a reasonable period of time. As a result, the Company recognized a $5.0 million impairment charge in the second quarter of 2017. The Company did not recognize any impairment charges related to cost method investments during the first quarter of 2017 or the six months ended July 1, 2016. The fair value of these investments is primarily determined by reference to recent sales data of similar shares to independent parties in an inactive market. This fair value calculation is categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. During the six month periods ended June 30, 2017 and July 1, 2016, the Company recognized a net loss of $4.8 million and gain of $1.2 million, respectively, on its cost and equity method investments.

(15.)SEGMENT INFORMATION

As a result of the Lake Region Medical acquisition and Spin-off, during 2016 the Company reorganized its operations including its internal management and financial reporting structure. As a result of this reorganization, the Company reevaluated and revised its reportable business segments during the fourth quarter of 2016 and began to disclose two reportable segments: (1) Medical and (2) Non-Medical. Prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the new segment reporting presentation. The two reportable segments, along with their related product lines, are described below:

Medical - includes the (i) Cardio & Vascular product line, which includes introducers, steerable sheaths, guidewires, catheters, and stimulation therapy components, subassemblies and finished devices that deliver therapies for various markets such as coronary and neurovascular disease, peripheral vascular disease, interventional radiology, vascular access, atrial fibrillation, and interventional cardiology, plus products for medical imaging and pharmaceutical delivery; (ii) Cardiac & Neuromodulation product line, which includes batteries, capacitors, filtered and unfiltered feed-throughs, engineered components, implantable stimulation leads, and enclosures used in implantable medical devices; and (iii) Advanced Surgical, Orthopedics & Portable Medical product line, which includes components, sub-assemblies, finished devices, implants, instruments and delivery systems for a range of surgical technologies to the advanced surgical market, including laparoscopy, orthopedics and general surgery, biopsy and drug delivery, joint preservation and reconstruction, arthroscopy, and engineered tubing solutions. Products also include life-saving and life-enhancing applications comprising of automated external defibrillators, portable oxygen concentrators, ventilators, and powered surgical tools.

Non-Medical - includes primary (lithium) cells, and primary and secondary battery packs for applications in the energy, military and environmental markets.

During the first quarter of 2017, the Company revised the method used to present sales by product line in order to align the legacy Greatbatch and Lake Region Medical methodologies.  The Company believes the revised presentation will provide improved reporting and better transparency into the operational results of its business and markets.  Prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the new product line sales reporting presentation.

(16.) IMPACT OF RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In the normal course of business, management evaluates all new accounting pronouncements issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”), Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), or other authoritative accounting bodies to determine the potential impact they may have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Based upon this review, except as noted below, management does not expect any of the recently issued accounting pronouncements, which have not already been adopted, to have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

Recently Adopted

In March 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-09, “Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting.” ASU 2016-09 simplifies various aspects of the accounting for stock-based payments. The simplifications include:

• recording all tax effects associated with stock-based compensation through the income statement, as opposed to recording certain amounts in other paid-in capital, which eliminates the requirements to calculate a windfall pool;

• allowing entities to withhold shares to satisfy the employer’s statutory tax withholding requirement up to the highest marginal tax rate applicable to employees rather than the employer’s minimum statutory rate, without requiring liability classification for the award;

• modifying the requirement to estimate the number of awards that will ultimately vest by providing an accounting policy election to either estimate the number of forfeitures or recognize forfeitures as they occur;

• changing certain presentation requirements in the statement of cash flows, including removing the requirement to present excess tax benefits as an inflow from financing activities and an outflow from operating activities, and requiring the cash paid to taxing authorities arising from withheld shares to be classified as a financing activity; and

• the assumed proceeds from applying the treasury stock method when computing EPS is amended to exclude the amount of excess tax benefits that would be recognized in additional paid-in capital.

The Company adopted the provisions of ASU 2016-09 on December 31, 2016, the beginning of its 2017 fiscal year. The adoption of ASU 2016-09 resulted in the Company making an accounting policy election to change how it will recognize the number of stock awards that will ultimately vest. In the past, the Company applied a forfeiture rate to shares granted. With the adoption of ASU 2016-09, the Company will recognize forfeitures as they occur. This change resulted in the Company making a cumulative effect change to retained earnings of $0.3 million. In addition, the Company recorded the tax effects associated with stock-based compensation through the income statement, which resulted in $0.4 million, net tax expense for the first six months of 2017, and will continue to record amounts prospectively through the income statement in accordance with ASU 2016-09.  Finally, the Company adjusted its dilutive shares calculation to remove the excess tax benefits from the calculation of EPS on a prospective basis. The revised calculation is more dilutive, but did not have a material impact on the Company's diluted EPS calculation for the first six months of 2017.

In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, “Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory,” which simplifies the subsequent measurement of inventory by requiring inventory to be measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. This ASU is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted this standard in the first quarter of fiscal year 2017 on a prospective basis. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, “Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment (Topic 350)” to simplify the accounting for goodwill impairment. The guidance removes Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test. A goodwill impairment will now be measured as the amount by which a reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, limited to the amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. ASU 2017-04 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted for any impairment tests performed after January 1, 2017. The Company adopted the new guidance on a prospective basis during the first quarter of 2017. The adoption of this ASU did not impact the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

(16.)IMPACT OF RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS (Continued)

Not Yet Adopted

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, “Stock Compensation - Scope of Modification Accounting,” which provides guidance as to when a modification of a share-based award must be accounted for. In general, if a modification of the terms and conditions of an award does not change the fair value of the award (or calculated value or intrinsic value, if used instead of fair value), does not change the vesting conditions of the award, and does not change the classification of the award as an equity instrument or a liability instrument, then an entity need not account for the modification. The new rules are effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted. The new rules are applied prospectively to awards modified after the adoption date. The Company does not believe the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-07, “Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost (Topic 715),” which requires employers to report the service cost component of net periodic pension cost and net periodic postretirement benefit cost in the same line item as other compensation costs arising from services rendered by the pertinent employees during the period. It also requires other components of net periodic pension cost and net periodic postretirement benefit cost, including interest cost, return on plan assets and gains or losses, to be presented in the income statement separately from the service cost component and outside a subtotal of income from operations, if one is presented. This guidance is effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal year 2018 and is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, “Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business,” which outlines new minimum requirements for a set of assets to be considered a business. The intent of this ASU is to sharpen the distinction between the purchase or disposal of a business versus the purchase or disposal of assets. ASU 2017-01 is effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2018, with early adoption permitted, and prospective application required. The Company does not believe the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-16, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory,” which requires entities to recognize the income tax consequences of intra-entity transfers of assets other than inventory when the transfers occur. This ASU is effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15 “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments: A Consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force.” ASU 2016-15 makes targeted changes to how cash receipts and cash payments are presented in the statement of cash flows. The areas specifically addressed include debt prepayment and debt extinguishment costs, the settlement of zero-coupon debt instruments, contingent consideration payments made after a business combination, proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims, cash premiums paid for and proceeds from corporate-owned life insurance policies, distributions received from equity method investees and cash receipts from payments on transferor’s beneficial interest on securitized trade receivables. Additionally, the amendment states that, in the absence of other prevailing guidance, cash receipts and payments that have characteristics of more than one class of cash flows should have each separately identifiable source or use of cash presented within the most predominant class of cash flows based on the nature of the underlying cash flows. These amendments are effective for the Company in annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating this ASU, but does not believe the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

(16.)IMPACT OF RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS (Continued)

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842),” which requires companies to recognize a lease liability that represents the discounted obligation to make future minimum lease payments, and a corresponding right-of-use asset on the balance sheet for most leases. This ASU retains a distinction between finance leases and operating leases, and the classification criteria for distinguishing between finance leases and operating leases are substantially similar to the classification criteria for distinguishing between capital leases and operating leases in the current accounting literature. The result of retaining a distinction between finance leases and operating leases is that under the lessee accounting model in Topic 842, the effect of leases in a consolidated statement of comprehensive income and a consolidated statement of cash flows is largely unchanged from previous GAAP.  The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years, and are required to be applied on a modified retrospective basis. Earlier application is permitted. The Company expects the adoption of ASU 2016-02 will result in a material increase in the assets and liabilities on its Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this ASU will have on its Consolidated Statements of Operations and Other Comprehensive Income (Loss).

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, “Financial Instruments - Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities.” This ASU requires equity investments (except those accounted for under the equity method of accounting, or those that result in consolidation of the investee) to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income; requires entities to use the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes; requires separate presentation of financial assets and financial liabilities by measurement category and form of financial asset and requires entities to present separately in other comprehensive income the portion of the total change in the fair value of a liability resulting from a change in the instrument-specific credit risk (also referred to as “own credit”) when the organization has elected to measure the liability at fair value in accordance with the fair value option. The new ASU is effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption of the own credit provision is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” which has been subsequently updated by ASU 2015-14, 2016-08, 2016-10 and 2016-12. The core principle behind ASU 2014-09 is that an entity should recognize revenue in an amount that reflects the consideration to which it expects to be entitled in exchange for delivering goods and services using a five-step model. Enhanced disclosures are required, including revenue recognition policies to identify performance obligations and significant judgments in measurement and recognition. This ASU can be adopted using either a full retrospective approach, where historical financial information is presented in accordance with the new standard, or a modified retrospective approach, where this ASU is applied to the most current period presented in the financial statements. This ASU is effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal year 2018.

The Company is continuing to evaluate the effect this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements, including potential impacts on the amount and timing of revenue recognition and additional information that may be necessary for the required expanded disclosures. The Company has substantially completed its inventory of all outstanding contracts and has begun the process of applying the five-step model to those contracts to evaluate the quantitative and qualitative impacts the new standard will have on its business and reported revenues. Based on the assessment completed to date, the Company has identified that the timing of revenue related to several of its supply agreements may change from recognition at point of shipment to recognition over time. The Company is still evaluating the appropriate measure of progress to use to recognize revenue over time, and as such, is unable to quantify the impact this change will have on its reported revenues at this time. The Company plans to adopt this ASU, as amended, in the first quarter of fiscal year 2018 on a modified retrospective basis.

Integer Holdings Corporation is one of the largest medical device outsource (“MDO”) manufacturers in the world serving the cardiac, neuromodulation, orthopedics, vascular and advanced surgical markets. We provide innovative, high-quality medical technologies that enhance the lives of patients worldwide. We also serve the non-medical power solutions market by developing batteries for high-end niche applications in the energy, military, and environmental markets.

On March 14, 2016, we completed the spin-off of a portion of our former QiG segment through a tax-free distribution of all of the shares of our QiG Group, LLC subsidiary to the stockholders of Integer on a pro rata basis (the “Spin-off”). Immediately prior to completion of the Spin-off, QiG Group, LLC was converted into a corporation organized under the laws of Delaware and changed its name to Nuvectra Corporation (“Nuvectra”). Our results include the financial and operating results of Nuvectra until the Spin-off on March 14, 2016.

As a result of our Lake Region Medical acquisition in 2015 and the Spin-off, during 2016 we reorganized our operations including our internal management and financial reporting structure. As a result of this reorganization, we reevaluated and revised our reportable business segments during the fourth quarter of 2016 and began to disclose two reportable segments: (1) Medical and (2) Non-Medical. Prior period amounts in this report have been reclassified to conform to the new segment reporting presentation.

Our Acquisitions

With the acquisition of Lake Region Medical, our main strategic priorities over the next two years include, among others, the integration of the legacy Greatbatch, Inc. and Lake Region Medical companies, driving integration synergies, and paying down our outstanding debt. Our acquisition focus, if any, will be primarily directed at smaller “bolt-on” or adjacent acquisition opportunities that have a strategic fit with our existing core businesses, particularly opportunities that support our enterprise strategy and enhance the value proposition of our product offerings.

Our Customers

Our products are designed to provide reliable, long-lasting solutions that meet the evolving requirements and needs of our customers. The nature and extent of our selling relationships with each customer are different in terms of breadth of products purchased, purchased product volumes, length of contractual commitment, ordering patterns, inventory management, and selling prices.

Our Medical customers include large multi-national medical device original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”) and their subsidiaries such as Abbott Labs, Biotronik, Boehringer Ingelheim, Boston Scientific, Cardinal Health, Johnson & Johnson, LivaNova, Medtronic, Nevro Corp., Philips Healthcare, Smith & Nephew, Stryker, and Zimmer Biomet. For the six months ended June 30, 2017, Abbott Labs, Boston Scientific, Johnson & Johnson, and Medtronic collectively accounted for approximately 56% of our total sales. We believe that the diversification of our sales among the various subsidiaries and market segments with those four customers reduces our exposure to negative developments with any one customer. The loss of a significant amount of business from any of these four customers or a further consolidation of such customers could have a material adverse affect on our financial condition and results of operations.

Our Non-Medical customers include large multi-national OEMs and their subsidiaries serving the energy, military and environmental services markets such as Halliburton, Teledyne Technologies and Weatherford International.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Financial Overview

Net income for the second quarter (“QTD”) and first six months (“YTD”) of 2017 was $3.0 million, or $0.09 per diluted share, and a net loss of $1.3 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, respectively, compared to net losses of $0.8 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, and $13.4 million, or $0.44 per diluted share, for the second quarter and first six months of 2016, respectively. These year over year variances are primarily the result of the following:

• Sales for the second quarter and first six months of 2017 increased 4% for each period. In comparison to the prior year periods, foreign currency exchange rates decreased sales by approximately $1.2 million and $2.6 million for the second quarter and first six months of 2017, respectively, and the Spin-off decreased sales by $1.2 million for the first six months of 2017. Excluding these amounts, organic sales for the second quarter and first six months of 2017 each increased 5%, primarily driven by market growth, new business wins, as well as lower comparables versus 2016 in our Cardio & Vascular and Advanced Surgical, Orthopedics & Portable Medical product lines due to the disruption of supply caused by the transfer of certain product lines throughout 2016;

• Gross profit for the second quarter and first six months of 2017 increased $3.2 million and $3.0 million, respectively, primarily due to the increase in sales discussed above;

• Operating expenses for the second quarter and first six months of 2017 were lower by $7.2 million and $22.9 million, respectively, primarily due to the results of Nuvectra not being included after the Spin-off ($4.7 million YTD), lower consolidation and integration charges ($9.4 million QTD, $18.8 million YTD), and various efficiencies and synergies gained as a result of our integration and consolidation initiatives partially offset by higher performance based compensation ($1.4 million QTD and YTD);

• Interest expense for the second quarter and first six months of 2017 declined $2.3 million and $1.0 million, respectively, primarily due to the amendment of our Term Loan B Facility in March 2017, which lowered the interest rate by 75 basis points, as well as the repayment of $68.8 million of debt during the first six months of 2017. These reductions were partially offset by the accelerated write-off of deferred fees and original issue discount due to the accelerated pay down of debt during the first half of 2017 ($0.9 million QTD, $2.5 million YTD); and

• Other (income) loss, net - higher losses on our cost and equity method investments ($4.3 million QTD, $6.0 million YTD) and higher foreign currency exchange rate losses ($5.0 million QTD, $8.8 million YTD) driven by the remeasurement of intercompany loans and the weakening of the U.S. dollar relative to the Euro during the first half of 2017, which are primarily non-cash in nature.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

We prepare our condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Additionally, we consistently report and discuss in our earnings releases and investor presentations adjusted net income, adjusted earnings per diluted share, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (“EBITDA”), adjusted EBITDA and organic sales growth rates. Adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per diluted share consist of GAAP amounts adjusted for the following to the extent occurring during the period: (i) acquisition and integration related charges and expenses, (ii) amortization of intangible assets including inventory step-up amortization, (iii) facility consolidation, optimization, manufacturing transfer and system integration charges, (iv) asset write-down and disposition charges, (v) charges in connection with corporate realignments or a reduction in force, (vi) certain litigation expenses, charges and gains, (vii) unusual or infrequently occurring items, (viii) gain/loss on cost and equity method investments, (ix) extinguishment of debt charges, (x) the income tax (benefit) related to these adjustments and (xi) certain tax items that are outside the normal provision for the period. Adjusted earnings per diluted share are calculated by dividing adjusted net income by diluted weighted average shares outstanding. Adjusted EBITDA consists of GAAP net income (loss) plus (i) the same adjustments as listed above except for items (x) and (xi), (ii) GAAP stock-based compensation, interest expense, and depreciation, (iii) GAAP provision (benefit) for income taxes and (iv) cash gains received from cost and equity method investments during the period. To calculate organic sales growth rates, which exclude the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, as well as the impact of any acquisitions or divestitures of product lines on sales growth rates, we convert current period sales from local currency to U.S. dollars using the previous periods foreign currency exchange rates and exclude the amount of sales acquired/divested during the period from the current/previous period amounts, respectively. We believe that the presentation of adjusted net income, adjusted diluted earnings per share, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, and organic sales growth rates provides important supplemental information to management and investors seeking to understand the financial and business trends relating to our financial condition and results of operations.

(a) The difference between pre-tax and net income (loss) amounts is the estimated tax impact related to the respective adjustment. Net income amounts are computed using a 35% U.S. tax rate, and the statutory tax rates in Mexico, Germany, France, Netherlands, Uruguay, Ireland and Switzerland, as adjusted for the existence of net operating losses. Expenses that are not deductible for tax purposes (i.e. permanent tax differences) are added back at 100%.

(b) In 2013, we filed suit against AVX Corporation alleging they were infringing our intellectual property. Given the complexity and significant costs incurred pursuing this litigation, we are excluding these litigation expenses from adjusted amounts. This matter proceeded to trial during the first quarter of 2016 and a federal jury awarded the Company $37.5 million in damages. This finding is subject to post-trial proceedings currently scheduled to be held in August 2017. To date, no gains have been recognized in connection with this litigation.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

(c) During 2017 and 2016, we incurred costs primarily related to the transfer of our Beaverton, OR portable medical and Plymouth, MN vascular manufacturing operations to Tijuana, Mexico, the closure of our Arvada, CO, site and the consolidation of our two Galway, Ireland sites. In addition, 2017 costs also include expenses related to the closure of our Clarence, NY facility.

(d) Reflects acquisition and integration costs related to the acquisition of Lake Region Medical, which was acquired in October 2015.

(e) Amounts for the second quarter of 2017 include approximately $0.6 million ($5.3 million YTD) of expense related to our CEO, CFO and Chief Human Resources Officer transitions. Costs for 2016 primarily include legal and professional fees incurred in connection with the Spin-off, which was completed in March 2016.

(f) Represents debt extinguishment charges in connection with pre-payments made on our Term Loan B Facility during 2017, which are included in Interest Expense, Net.

(g) Represents the results of Nuvectra prior to the Spin-off on March 14, 2016.

(h) The diluted weighted average shares for adjusted EPS for the six months ended June 30, 2017 include 674,000 of potentially dilutive shares not included in the computation of diluted weighted average common shares for GAAP diluted EPS purpose because their effect would have been anti-dilutive given the Company’s net loss in that period. The diluted weighted average shares for adjusted EPS for the three and six months ended July 1, 2016 include 461,000 and 514,000, respectively, of potentially dilutive shares not included in the computation of diluted weighted average common shares for GAAP diluted EPS purposes because their effect would have been anti-dilutive given the Company’s net loss in those periods.

Adjusted diluted EPS of $0.62 and $1.03 per share for the second quarter and first six months of 2017, respectively, increased 11% and 5%, respectively, in comparison to the prior year periods. This was a result of the benefit of our increased sales and the various efficiencies and synergies gained from our integration and consolidation initiatives, partially offset by higher foreign currency exchange rate losses. The increase in losses from foreign exchange rate changes was $5.0 million ($4.0 million net of tax, $0.12 per diluted share) and $8.8 million ($7.1 million net of tax, $0.22 per diluted share) for the second quarter and first six months of 2017, respectively, in comparison to the prior year periods.

A reconciliation of GAAP net income (loss) to EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA is as follows (dollars in thousands):

2017 Outlook

Our current full-year 2017 outlook is as follows (in millions, except for per share amounts):

	GAAP		Non-GAAP(b)
	As Reported	Growth	Adjusted	Growth
Sales	$1,400 to $1,430	1% to 3%	$1,400 to $1,430	1% to 3%
Earnings per Diluted Share(a)	$0.60 to $1.00	Favorable	$2.55 - $2.95	(5)% to 10%
Cash Flow from Operations	~$150	42%

(a) Except as described below, further reconciliations by line item to the closest corresponding GAAP financial measures for Adjusted EPS, included in our “2017 Outlook” above, are not available without unreasonable efforts on a forward-looking basis due to the high variability, complexity and visibility of the charges excluded from this non-GAAP financial measure.

(b) Adjusted EPS for 2017 is expected to consist of GAAP Net Income and EPS, excluding items such as intangible amortization ($44 million), IP related litigation costs, and consolidation, acquisition, integration, asset disposition and write-down charges, and loss on extinguishment of debt totaling approximately $90 million. The after-tax impact of these items is estimated to be approximately $62 million, or approximately $1.95 per diluted share.

Our CEO’s View

Another quarter of solid sales growth gives us confidence that we are back on an annual growth trajectory. We have had four quarters in a row of strong cash generation and even stronger debt repayment, which demonstrates our commitment to deleveraging. We are making good progress transitioning our business back to an annual growth trajectory. We are the market leader in Medical Device Outsource manufacturing, we have unrivaled capabilities to serve our customers’ needs - whether an engineered component or a complete device, to anything in between. Our innovative design and manufacturing capabilities, our global footprint and scalability, our high-quality, and our customer focus enable us to deliver more for our customers. As we execute our strategy and realize our vision, we expect to deliver sales growth that is above the market growth rate, we expect to accelerate our EBITDA and cash flow growth and we desire to earn a valuation premium for our shareholders.

Cost Savings and Consolidation Efforts

In 2017 and 2016, we recorded charges in Other Operating Expenses, Net related to various cost savings and consolidation initiatives. These initiatives were undertaken to improve our operational efficiencies and profitability, the most significant of which are as follows (dollars in millions):

Initiative	Expected Expense	Expected Capital	Expected Benefit to Operating Income(a)	Expected Completion
Investments in capacity and capabilities	$53 - $55	$24 - $25	> $20	2017
Lake Region Medical consolidations	$20 - $25	$5 - $6	$12 - $13	2018

(a) Represents the annual benefit to our operating income expected to be realized from these initiatives through cost savings and/or increased capacity. These benefits will be phased in over time as the various initiatives are completed, and some of which are already included in our current period results.

See Note 9 “Other Operating Expenses, Net” of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Item 1 of this report for additional information about the timing, cash flow impact and amount of future expenditures for these initiatives. We continually evaluate our operating structure in order to maximize efficiencies and drive margin expansion. Future charges are expected to be incurred as we seek to create an optimized manufacturing footprint, leveraging our increased scale and product capabilities while also supporting the needs of our customers. Our efforts will include:

◦ potential manufacturing consolidations;

◦ continuous improvement and productivity initiatives;

◦ direct material and indirect expense savings opportunities; and

◦ the establishment of centers of excellence around the world.

Our Financial Results

We utilize a fifty-two, fifty-three week fiscal year ending on the Friday nearest December 31. For 52-week years, each quarter contains 13 weeks. The second quarter and first six months of 2017 and 2016 ended on June 30, and July 1, respectively, and each contained 13 weeks and 26 weeks, respectively.

During the first quarter of 2017, we revised the method used to present sales by product line in order to align the legacy Greatbatch and Lake Region Medical methodologies.  We believe the revised presentation will provide improved reporting and better transparency into the operational results of our business and markets. Prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the new product line sales reporting presentation.

Product Line Sales Highlights

For the second quarter and first six months of 2017, Cardio & Vascular sales increased $10.0 million, or 8%, and $21.4 million, or 9%, respectively, versus the comparable 2016 periods. These increases were primarily attributable to market growth and new business wins, as well as lower comparables in the first quarter of 2016 due to the disruption of supply caused by the transfer of our catheter and introducer operations from our Plymouth, MN facility to our Tijuana, Mexico facility, which occurred throughout 2016. During the second quarter and first six months of 2017, price and foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations did not materially impact our Cardio & Vascular sales in comparison to the same periods of 2016.

For the second quarter and first six months of 2017, Cardiac & Neuromodulation sales decreased $0.7 million, or 1% and $5.5 million, or 3%, respectively, versus the comparable 2016 periods. Approximately $1.2 million of the year-to-date decrease was a result of the Spin-off of Nuvectra in the first quarter of 2016. Foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations did not have a material impact on Cardiac & Neuromodulation sales during the second quarter and first six months of 2017 in comparison to the same periods of 2016. For the second quarter and first six months of 2017, organic Cardiac & Neuromodulation sales, which excludes the impact of the Spin-off and currency exchange rate fluctuations, decreased 1% and 2%, respectively. These decreases were primarily the result of a customer specified supplier delay during the first quarter of 2017 within our Neuromodulation product line, which was resolved during the second quarter. Additionally, during the second quarter and first six months of 2017, price concessions to our larger OEM customers reduced Cardiac & Neuromodulation sales by approximately $3 million and $4 million, respectively, in comparison to the same periods of 2016. Partially offsetting these decreases was an increase in cardiac rhythm management sales, which has begun to rebound from the market disruptions experienced in 2016.

For the second quarter and first six months of 2017, Advanced Surgical, Orthopedics & Portable Medical sales decreased $0.8 million, or 1%, and increased $6.0 million, or 3%, respectively, versus the comparable 2016 periods. Foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations reduced second quarter and first six months of 2017 sales by approximately $1 million and $2 million, respectively, in comparison to the 2016 periods due to the stronger U.S. dollar relative to the Euro on an average basis during those periods. For the second quarter and first six months of 2017, organic Advanced Surgical, Orthopedics & Portable Medical sales, which excludes the impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, increased 0.1% and 4%, respectively, in comparison to the respective 2016 periods. The year-to-date increase was primarily due to advanced surgical market growth and lower comparables versus the first quarter of 2016 due to the disruption of supply caused by the transfer of our portable medical operations from our Beaverton, OR facility to our Tijuana, Mexico facility, which occurred throughout 2016. For the second quarter and first six months of 2017, price concessions to our larger OEM customers reduced Advanced Surgical, Orthopedics & Portable Medical sales by approximately $1 million and $2 million, respectively, in comparison to the same periods of 2016.

For the second quarter and first six months of 2017, Non-Medical sales increased $5.9 million, or 60%, and $5.6 million, or 26%, respectively, versus the comparable 2016 periods. These increases were primarily driven by continued recovery in the energy markets, as well as, new business wins and market share gains. Foreign currency exchange rates and price fluctuations did not have a material impact on Non-Medical sales during the second quarter and first six months of 2017 in comparison to the same periods of 2016.

We continually evaluate our operating structure in order to maximize efficiencies and drive margin expansion. Other Operating Expenses, Net for 2017 are expected to be approximately $25 million to $35 million.

- 38 -

Interest Expense, Net

Interest Expense, Net for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 was $25.6 million and $54.5 million, respectively, compared to $27.9 million and $55.5 million for the three and six months ended July 1, 2016. The weighted average interest rates paid on all outstanding borrowings for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 were 5.28% and 5.53%, respectively, compared to 5.75% for the comparable periods in 2016. The lower weighted average interest rates paid in 2017 were primarily due to our amending our Senior Secured Credit Facilities during March of 2017, which resulted in a 75 basis point reduction to the applicable interest rate margins of our TLB facility, partially offset by the increase in the LIBOR rate during 2017. Cash interest expense decreased $3.3 million and $3.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively, when compared to the same periods in 2016, primarily due to the previously mentioned rate reduction combined with lower outstanding debt balances due to the repayment of debt over the last year. Non-cash interest expense (i.e. deferred fee and discount amortization) increased $1.0 million and $2.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively, when compared to the same periods in 2016, primarily attributable to the accelerated write-off (losses from extinguishment of debt) of deferred fees and discounts due to prepayments of a portion of our TLB Facility during the first and second quarters of 2017. We recognized losses from extinguishment of debt during the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 of $0.9 million and $2.5 million, respectively. We have repaid $68.8 million of debt during the first six months of 2017, including $39.7 million during the second quarter. See Note 6 “Debt” of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Item 1 of this report for additional information pertaining to our debt.

Other (Income) Loss, Net

Other (Income) Loss, Net for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 was a loss of $10.0 million and $11.8 million, respectively, compared to a loss of $0.7 million and income of $3.0 million for the three and six months ended July 1, 2016, respectively. Other (Income) Loss, Net is primarily comprised of income (loss) on our cost and equity method investments and the impact of foreign currency exchange rates on transactions denominated in foreign currencies.

Other (Income) Loss, Net for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 includes net losses realized on our cost and equity method investments of $4.4 million and $4.8 million, respectively, compared to a net loss of $0.1 million and net gains of $1.2 million for the three and six months ended July 1, 2016, respectively. During the second quarter of 2017, we recognized a $5.0 million impairment charge on one of our cost method investments. These investments are in start-up research and development companies whose fair value is highly subjective in nature and could be subject to significant fluctuations in the future that could result in material gains or losses. See Note 14 “Fair Value Measurements” of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Item 1 of this report for additional information pertaining to our cost and equity method investments.

The impact of foreign currency exchange rates on transactions denominated in foreign currencies included in Other (Income) Loss, Net for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 was a loss of $5.5 million and $7.0 million, respectively, compared to a loss of $0.6 million and a gain of $1.8 million for the three and six months ended July 1, 2016, respectively. The losses in 2017 were primarily driven by the impact of the weakening U.S. dollar relative to the Euro on our inter-company loans and are primarily non-cash in nature. We continually reevaluate our foreign currency exposures and take steps to mitigate these risks. However, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates could have a significant impact, positive or negative, on our financial results in the future.

Provision for Income Taxes

We recognized income tax expense of $1.1 million for the second quarter of 2017 on $4.1 million of pre-tax income compared to income tax expense of $1.5 million on $0.7 million of pre-tax income for the same period of 2016. The income tax expense for the first six months of 2017 was $1.3 million on a pre-tax loss of $0.1 million compared to $1.4 million on a pre-tax loss of $12.1 million for the same period of 2016. The effective tax rate for the second quarter and first six months of 2017 includes $0.4 million and $1.3 million, respectively, of discrete tax charges primarily related to stock based compensation expense in accordance with new guidance under Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-09 and the taxation of currency gain and losses arising from qualified business units (e.g., Branches) that operate in a currency other than the currency of their owner, in accordance with new guidance under temporary regulations and Internal Revenue Code Section 987. The effective tax rate for the second quarter and first six months of 2016 includes discrete tax benefits of $0.3 million and discrete tax charges of $1.3 million, respectively, primarily related to return to provision adjustments and non-deductible Lake Region Medical and Spin-off related transaction costs, respectively.

INTEGER HOLDINGS CORPORATION

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

We expect there to be continued volatility of our effective tax rate due to several factors including: changes in the mix of pre-tax income and the jurisdictions to which it relates, changes in tax laws and foreign tax holidays, business reorganizations, settlements with taxing authorities and foreign currency fluctuations. We continuously evaluate and currently have various tax planning initiatives in place that are aimed at reducing our effective tax rate over the long-term.

Our worldwide effective tax rate is expected to be approximately 10% for 2017, excluding discrete items. The difference between our effective tax rate and the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate in the current year is primarily attributable to our overall lower effective tax rate in the foreign jurisdictions in which we operate and where our foreign earnings are derived. The lower tax rate jurisdictions in which we operate and the respective statutory tax rate for each respective jurisdiction include Switzerland (22%), Mexico (30%), Uruguay (25%), and Ireland (12.5%). In addition, we currently have a tax holiday in Malaysia through April 2018, with a potential extension through April 2023 if certain conditions are met. While we are not currently aware of any material trends in these jurisdictions that are likely to impact our current or future tax expense, our future effective tax rates could be adversely affected by earnings being lower than anticipated in countries where we have lower effective tax rates and higher than anticipated in countries where we have higher effective tax rates, or by changes in tax laws or regulations. We regularly assess any significant exposure associated with increases in tax rates in international jurisdictions and adjustments are made as events occur that warrant adjustment to our tax provisions. Our 2017 blended effective tax rate on foreign earnings is currently estimated to be approximately 21%. The foreign rate differential reduces our worldwide effective tax rate by approximately 20% as compared to the U.S. statutory federal income tax rate. For the year, we expect to have positive income before taxes in our foreign jurisdictions but losses before taxes in U.S jurisdictions due to our large amount of Other Operating Expenses, Net and Interest Expense, Net.

Cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2017 decreased by $5.6 million from year-end as any excess cash flow from operations was used to pay down our debt. Working capital decreased $3.9 million from December 30, 2016 due to the Company’s strategic initiatives to reduce working capital in order to generate cash to pay down debt.

At June 30, 2017, approximately $22.4 million of the Company's $46.5 million of cash and cash equivalents resided in jurisdictions outside the United States. It is the Company's practice to use available cash in the United States to pay down its Senior Secured Credit Facilities in order to minimize total interest expense. Repatriation of funds residing in jurisdictions located outside the United States to the United States could be subject to domestic and foreign taxes and some portion may be subject to governmental restrictions.

INTEGER HOLDINGS CORPORATION

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Operating Activities – During the six months ended June 30, 2017, we generated cash of $77.2 million from operations compared to $33.8 million for the six months ended July 1, 2016. This increase was primarily due to higher cash net income ($35.0 million), as well as cash flow provided by working capital accounts ($8.5 million) due to the Company’s strategic initiatives to reduce working capital. Other Non-cash (Gains) Losses reported in cash flows from operating activities increased $11.5 million primarily due to our foreign currency exchange rate losses and cost method investment write-downs recorded during the first six months of 2017, which are non-cash in nature.

Investing Activities– The $11.0 million decrease in net cash used in investing activities was primarily attributable to lower purchases of property, plant, and equipment. Our current expectation is that capital spending for 2017 will be in the range of $50 million to $60 million, of which approximately half is discretionary in nature. We anticipate that cash on hand, cash flows from operations and available borrowing capacity under our Revolving Credit Facility will be sufficient to fund these capital expenditures.

Financing Activities – Net cash used in financing activities for the six months of 2017 was $61.9 million compared to $46.7 million in the comparable 2016 period. Financing activities during the first six months of 2017 included net payments of $70.6 million related to paying down our debt obligations, partially offset by higher proceeds from the exercise of stock options. Financing activities during the six months of 2016 included $76.3 million of cash divested with the Spin-off, which was partially funded by $55.0 million in borrowings incurred under our Revolving Credit Facility, and $6.8 million paid to purchase the remaining non-controlling interests in Nuvectra’s Algostim and PelviStim subsidiaries. See Note 2 “Divestiture” of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Item 1 of this report for a further description of the Spin-off.

Capital Structure – As of June 30, 2017, our capital structure consists of $1.7 billion of debt outstanding under our Senior Secured Credit Facilities and Senior Notes and 31.4 million shares of common stock outstanding. If necessary, we currently have access to $109.2 million under our Revolving Credit Facility. This amount may vary from period to period based upon our debt and EBITDA levels, which impacts our covenant calculations. If necessary, we are also authorized to issue 100 million shares of common stock and 100 million shares of preferred stock. As of June 30, 2017, our debt service obligations, comprised of principal and interest payments for the second half of 2017, are estimated to be approximately $60 million.

Based on current expectations, we believe that our projected cash flows provided by operations, available cash and cash equivalents and potential borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility should be sufficient to meet our working capital and fixed capital requirements for the next twelve months. If our future financing needs increase, we may need to arrange additional debt or equity financing. Accordingly, we evaluate and consider from time to time various financing alternatives to supplement our financial resources. However, we cannot be assured that we will be able to enter into any such arrangements on acceptable terms or at all.

Credit Facilities - As of June 30, 2017, we had senior secured credit facilities (the “Senior Secured Credit Facilities”) that consist of (i) a $200 million revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”), which had $82 million drawn as of June 30, 2017, (ii) a $347 million term loan A facility (the “TLA Facility”), and (iii) a $913 million term loan B facility (the “TLB Facility”). Additionally, as of June 30, 2017, we had $360 million aggregate principal amount of 9.125% senior notes due on November 1, 2023 (the “Senior Notes”) outstanding. The Revolving Credit Facility will mature on October 27, 2020, the TLA Facility will mature on October 27, 2021 and the TLB Facility will mature on October 27, 2022. The Senior Secured Credit Facilities include a mandatory prepayment provision customary for credit facilities of its nature.

On March 17, 2017, we amended the Senior Secured Credit Facilities to lower the interest rate on the TLB Facility. The amendment reduces the applicable interest rate margins on our TLB Facility for both base rate and adjusted LIBOR borrowings by 75 basis points. The amendment also includes a prepayment fee of 1.00% in the event of another repricing event (as defined in the Senior Secured Credit Facilities) on or before the six-month anniversary of this amendment. There is no change to maturities or covenants under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities as a result of this repricing amendment.

The Revolving Credit Facility and TLA Facility contain financial covenants requiring (A) a maximum total net leverage ratio (as defined in the agreement governing the Senior Secured Credit Facilities) of 6.25:1.0, subject to step downs beginning in the first fiscal quarter of 2018 and (B) a minimum interest coverage ratio of adjusted EBITDA (as defined in the Senior Secured Credit Facilities) to interest expense of 2.5:1.0 subject to step ups beginning in the first quarter of 2018. As of June 30, 2017, our total net leverage ratio, calculated in accordance with our credit agreement, was approximately 5.47 to 1.00. For the twelve month period ended June 30, 2017, our ratio of adjusted EBITDA to interest expense, calculated in accordance with our credit agreement, was approximately 3.03 to 1.00.

- 41 -

INTEGER HOLDINGS CORPORATION

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Failure to comply with these financial covenants would result in an event of default as defined under the Revolving Credit Facility and TLA Facility unless waived by the lenders. An event of default may result in the acceleration of our indebtedness. As a result, management believes that compliance with these covenants is material to us. As of June 30, 2017, we were in full compliance with the financial covenants described above. However, a significant increase in the LIBOR interest rate above 1% and/or a decline in our operating performance, and in particular our sales and/or adjusted EBITDA, could result in our inability to meet these financial covenants and lead to an event of default if a waiver or amendment could not be obtained from our lenders.

The Revolving Credit Facility is supported by a consortium of thirteen lenders with no lender controlling more than 27% of the facility. As of June 30, 2017, the banks supporting 88% of the Revolving Credit Facility each had an S&P credit rating of at least BBB+ or better, which is considered investment grade. The banks which support the remaining 12% of the Revolving Credit Facility are not currently being rated.

See Note 6 “Debt” of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Item 1 of this report for a further description on the Company’s outstanding debt.

Non-Guarantor Information – For the six months ended June 30, 2017, our subsidiaries that are non-Guarantors under our Senior Secured Credit Facilities represented approximately 33% and 43% of our revenue and EBITDA, respectively. In addition, as of June 30, 2017, our subsidiaries that are non-Guarantors under our Senior Secured Credit Facilities held approximately 28% of our total tangible assets and 3% of our total tangible liabilities. Tangible assets consist of total assets less intangible assets, intercompany receivables, and deferred taxes. Tangible liabilities consist of total liabilities less intercompany payables and deferred taxes.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements within the meaning of Item 303(a)(4) of Regulation S-K.

Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In the normal course of business, we evaluate all new accounting pronouncements issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”), Securities and Exchange Commission, or other authoritative accounting bodies to determine the potential impact they may have on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. See Note 16 “Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards” of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Item 1 of this report for additional information about these recently issued accounting standards and their potential impact on our financial condition or results of operations.

Contractual Obligations

There have been no significant changes to our contractual obligations during the six months ended June 30, 2017 as compared to those disclosed in Part II, Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Form 10-K. See Note 6 “Debt” and Note 11 “Commitments and Contingencies” of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Item 1 of this report for further discussion on our contractual obligations.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. requires management to make estimates, assumptions and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Our estimates, assumptions and judgments are based on historical experience and various other assumptions believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Making estimates, assumptions and judgments about future events is inherently unpredictable and is subject to significant uncertainties, some of which are beyond our control. Management believes the estimates, assumptions and judgments employed and resulting balances reported in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are reasonable; however, actual results could differ materially.

There have been no significant changes to the critical accounting policies and estimates as compared to those disclosed in Part II, Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Our management, including the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) related to the recording, processing, summarization and reporting of information in our reports that we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission as of June 30, 2017. These disclosure controls and procedures have been designed to provide reasonable assurance that material information relating to us, including our subsidiaries, is made known to our management, including these officers, by our employees, and that this information is recorded, processed, summarized, evaluated and reported, as applicable, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Based on their evaluation, as of June 30, 2017, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

b. Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
