Why ConMed Is Expected to Report a Slight Rise in Its Net Profit Margin in 2018

Why ConMed Is Expected to Report a Slight Rise in Its Net Profit Margin in 2018

ConMed (CNMD) expects to witness the positive impact of around 0.5–1.0 percentage points on its fiscal 2018 adjusted gross margin, attributable to various cost-saving initiatives. ConMed has also projected an improvement of ~0.2–0.5 percentage points in its ratio of SG&A (selling, general, and administrative) expenses to total sales for fiscal 2018 on a YoY (year-over-year) basis. ConMed also expects its 2018 R&D (research and development)-to-sales ratio to be at the higher end of the projected range of 4.5%–5%.
