• 2. Stifel Nicolaus analysts commented, "HYH closed 2016 with its fourth consecutive quarter of sales and EPS upside relative to both Consensus and management guidance. After a more difficult than expected first-year (2015) post-spin, in 2016, the company's transformation took clearer shape and was highlighted by: accretive M&A, a positive mix shift to the more profitable Medical Device franchise (38% of sales; 64% of operating profit), successful re-negotiations of material GPO contracts, significant organic cost-savings and stepped-up investments, all with significantly improved cash flow generation ($100M+ guide vs. $160M actual). We continue to believe HYH has further price appreciation potential ahead as '2016-like' thematic drivers continue playing out over the next 12-24 months. Still, we acknowledge that HYH shares (+56% TTM vs. S&P500: +23%) trading at 20x 2018E EPS (vs. large cap ~18x) could "pause" here as the stock absorbs the recent out-performance and the next wave of potentially positive catalysts becomes more visible. Yet to be realized sales, margin, and EPS-enhancing catalysts could include: IT cost savings, better S&IP pricing, more normal nitrile pricing and most important, further accretive M&A opportunities. Company-specific 2017 headwinds could include: more intense commodity price inflation, stepped up On-Q competition, and still uncertain macro tax-related legislation. For us, the bottom line is that HYH remains a positive long-term transformation story that is still in 'early innings' with significant opportunity both organically and through acquisitions to leverage earnings. We rate HYH Buy and raise our TP to $45 (from $38)." (2/28/2017)
