Bullish Statements during Earnings call

Statement
The integration of Palette is progressing well and we expect the acquisition to be a meaningful contributor to our growth in the coming years
For the full year 2023, we had a strong performance with revenues reaching $2.975 billion, which represents 6.5% constant currency growth year-over-year, while adjusted earnings per share was $13.52
And again, definitely solid path to the revenue and the solid path to the gross margin line and underlying EPS as we've gone through with a couple of your colleagues underlying EPS is solid
And as you know, had positive pricing as a company
If you adjust for the days, we delivered a robust 8.1% growth in the fourth quarter
While that was happening, China continued to be a real solid double-digit grower for Teleflex
So I'm really happy with how the Interventional business is going well
We have a really good cadence of new products
And I think that I feel as I said, good about the way we've guided and I feel good about our ability to deliver
We continue to see really nice growth in the pump business
And as Tom walked you through the bridge, our underlying earnings per share growth is really strong -- is really positive
And if you look at the total of our favorable pricing, savings from manufacturing, cost improvements, savings from footprint programs, they're able to offset those inflationary pressures as well as some capitalized balances that are on the balance sheet and will rollout in the P&L in 2024
Urology products, Interventional and Vascular businesses generated the highest shipping days adjusted growth in the quarter
Kristen Stewart The Interventional business grew very nicely in this quarter and 15% for the full year on a constant currency basis
Liam Kelly We had a good year with price in 2023, we exceeded our goal of 50 basis points and came in above that
The performance in the quarter was driven by strong commercial execution and solid underlying demand
And therefore, we do believe that our business is well capable of driving that high single digits into the double digits
The fourth quarter was strong
Of note, we achieved double-digit growth in our underlying PICC business when excluding the negative impact of the Endurance recall
We continue to see opportunities for share gains in the peripheral access markets and our new product initiatives will help play a role
And as we head into the second year of the LRP, I feel confident in our ability to deliver the current guidance and that will be the springboard into next year, the final year of the LRP
Despite the impact of the fewer selling days, we demonstrated solid growth, which underscores our positive momentum as we continue to make good progress with our growth drivers
Among our larger product categories, hemostatic products performed well in the quarter, with strong double-digit growth, partially offset by declines in atomization and ET Tubes, as we recover from the recall, which occurred earlier in 2023
Our underlying trends in our core surgical franchise continue to be solid, including our ligation portfolio
So Japan is doing exceptionally well
Revenues in the fourth quarter were modestly better than expectations with outperformance of Barrigel
I feel really good about the LRP
OEM had another solid quarter, with revenues increasing 10.9% year-over-year to $82.6 million
The strength in the quarter was broad-based across our portfolio, with all product categories recording year-over-year growth, including continued strength in microcatheters
And as a team, I think we feel really confident in our ability to deliver on all aspects of it
       

Bearish Statements during earnings call

Statement
In our Surgical business, revenue was $109.6 million, down 2% year-over-year against a tough comparison
Fourth quarter Other revenue declined 10.2% to $68.2 million year-over-year
At the bottom line, fourth quarter adjusted earnings per share was $3.38, a decrease of 4% versus prior year
Fourth quarter adjusted earnings per share was $3.38 a 4% decrease year-over-year
Revenue declined 3.4% year-over-year to $98.2 million
And the reason that the quarter 1 is a little bit dampened is, as I said, there's a few tough comps in the mix there
EMEA revenues of $152.4 million decreased 2.7% year-over-year, driven by Anesthesia and Surgical and reflective of the impact of the fewer shipping days
I appreciate your comments about the operating margin, LRP being a bit challenging for '25
Americas revenues were $450.6 million, a 1.9% decrease year-over-year, driven by Surgical and Vascular and reflective of the 5 fewer shipping days in the quarter
With regard to the sites of service, we again grew in the hospital site of service in Q4, but it's again, the office, unfortunately, is still challenging for us just because of the reimbursement change that was made there
For UroLift, the office remains a challenge as we continue our efforts to stabilize this size of service
Netting the loss of MSA revenues, the incremental Palette sales and foreign exchange headwinds represents an approximately 100 basis point year-over-year headwind to growth in 2024
And I think even though the up margin targets will be a challenge
In addition to the inflation headwinds, we're also experiencing a modest adverse impact from foreign exchange
Liam Kelly I'm sorry, the line is incredibly bad and we're having great difficulty hearing you
Relative to foreign exchange, although there is a negligible impact on revenue, the headwind to earnings per share is approximately $0.24 year-over-year
And it will be tougher for us to get to the up margin goal in all transparency and I think the investment community know that
Revenue decreased 1.2% to $186.7 million
The office business you highlighted that's still seeing some challenges in the U.S
MANTA will have a tough comp next year
