Cellular Biomedicine Group Awarded $2.29 Million Grant from the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine (CIRM)

SHANGHAI, China and CUPERTINO, Calif., Feb. 27, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Cellular Biomedicine Group Inc. (NASDAQ:CBMG) (“CBMG” or the “Company”), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical firm engaged in the development of effective immunotherapies for cancer and stem cell therapies for degenerative diseases, announced today that the governing Board of the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine (CIRM), California’s stem cell agency, has awarded the Company $2.29 million to support pre-clinical studies of AlloJoinTM, CBMG’s “Off-the-Shelf” Allogeneic Human Adipose-derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells for the treatment of Knee Osteoarthritis in the United States.

While CBMG recently commenced two Phase I human clinical trials in China using CAR-T to treat relapsed/refractory CD19+ B-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) and Refractory Diffuse Large B-cell Lymphoma (DLBCL) as well as an ongoing Phase I trial in China for AlloJoinTM in Knee Osteoarthritis (KOA), this latest announcement represents CBMG’s initial entrance into the United States for its “off-the-shelf” allogeneic stem cell candidate AlloJoinTM.

The $2.29 million was granted under the CIRM 2.0 program, a comprehensive collaborative initiative designed to accelerate the development of stem cell-based treatments for people with unmet medical needs. After the award, CIRM will be a more active partner with its recipients to further increase the likelihood of clinical success and help advance a pre-clinical applicant’s research along a funding pipeline towards clinical trials. CBMG’s KOA pre-clinical program is considered late-stage, and therefore it meets CIRM 2.0’s intent to accelerate support for clinical stage development for identified candidates of stem cell treatments that demonstrate scientific excellence.

“We are deeply appreciative to CIRM for their support and validation of the therapeutic potential of our KOA therapy,” said Tony (Bizuo) Liu, Chief Executive Officer of CBMG. “We thank Dr. C. Thomas Vangsness, Jr., in the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery at the Keck School of Medicine of the University of Southern California and Dr. Qing Liu-Michael at the Broad Center for Regenerative Medicine and Stem Cell Research at USC, who helped significantly with the grant application process. The CIRM grant is the first step in bringing our allogeneic human adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cell treatment for knee osteoarthritis (AlloJoinTM) to the U.S. market.

Our AlloJoinTM program has previously undergone extensive manufacturing development and pre-clinical studies and is undergoing a Phase I clinical trial in China. In order to demonstrate comparability with cell banks previously produced in China for our U.S. IND filing, we are addressing the pre-clinical answers required for the FDA. With the funds provided by CIRM, we will replicate and validate the manufacturing process and control system at the cGMP facility located at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles to support the filing of an IND with the FDA. The outcome of this grant will enable us to have qualified final cell products ready to use in a Phase I clinical trial with Dr. Vangsness as the Principal Investigator and the Keck School of Medicine of USC as a trial site. Dr. Vangsness is familiar with both stem cell biology and KOA, and has led the only randomized double-blind human clinical study to investigate expanded allogeneic mesenchymal stem cells to date. Our endeavor in the U.S. market will further strengthen our commercialization pipeline.”

CBMG recently announced promising interim 3-month safety data from its Phase I clinical trial in China for AlloJoinTM, its off-the-shelf allogeneic stem cell therapy for KOA. The trial is on schedule to be completed by the third quarter of 2017.

About CIRM

At CIRM, we never forget that we were created by the people of California to accelerate stem cell treatments to patients with unmet medical needs, and to act with a sense of urgency commensurate with that mission. To meet this challenge, our team of highly trained and experienced professionals actively partners with both academia and industry in a hands-on, entrepreneurial environment to fast track the development of today’s most promising stem cell technologies.

With $3 billion in funding and over 280 active stem cell programs in our portfolio, CIRM is the world’s largest institution dedicated to helping people by bringing the future of medicine closer to reality.

About Knee Osteoarthritis

According to the Foundation for the National Institutes of Health, there are 27 million Americans with Osteoarthritis (OA), and symptomatic Knee Osteoarthritis (KOA) occurs in 13% of persons aged 60 and older. The International Journal of Rheumatic Diseases, 2011 reports that approximately 57 million people in China suffer from KOA. Currently no treatment exists that can effectively preserve knee joint cartilage or slow the progression of KOA. Current common drug-based methods of management, including anti-inflammatory medications (NSAIDs), only relieve symptoms and carry the risk of side effects. Patients with KOA suffer from compromised mobility, leading to sedentary lifestyles; doubling the risk of cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, and obesity; and increasing the risk of all causes of mortality, colon cancer, high blood pressure, osteoporosis, lipid disorders, depression and anxiety. According to the Epidemiology of Rheumatic Disease (Silman AJ, Hochberg MC. Oxford Univ. Press, 1993:257), 53% of patients with KOA will eventually become disabled.

Globus Medical Reports Full Year and Fourth Quarter 2016 Results

AUDUBON, Pa., Feb. 27, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Globus Medical, Inc. (NYSE:GMED), a leading musculoskeletal implant manufacturer, today announced its financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2016.

Fourth Quarter:

  • Worldwide sales increased 6.3% as reported to $151.6 million, or an increase of 6.5% on a constant currency basis
  • Fourth quarter net income was $24.3 million, or 16.0% of sales
  • Diluted earnings per share (EPS) were $0.25
  • Non-GAAP diluted EPS were $0.31
  • Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA was 37.7% of sales

Full Year 2016:

  • Worldwide sales increased 3.5% as reported to $564.0 million, or an increase of 3.8% on a constant currency basis
  • Net income for the year was $104.3 million, or 18.5% of sales
  • Diluted EPS were $1.08
  • Non-GAAP diluted EPS were $1.19
  • Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA was 37.4% of sales

David Paul, Chairman and CEO said, “Fourth quarter sales were $151.6 million, a year-over-year increase of 6.3%.  Despite our increased spending in support of our pending robotics and trauma launches, our adjusted EBITDA margins was an outstanding 37.7%.  We also delivered EPS of $0.25 and non GAAP EPS of $0.31.

“During the fourth quarter, we continued to make progress with product development, sales force development and integration of Alphatec’s international business.  We also further expanded our in-house manufacturing capacity.  We are proud of our innovation and product development efforts, which resulted in a total of 17 new product launches in 2016.  We have addressed our sales force expansion challenges and are optimistic that we will return to more robust growth rates in the second half of 2017. We also remain confident in our long-term growth prospects and our ability to sustain industry-leading profitability by continuing to execute on our strategy of rapid product introduction, expansion of our U.S. and international sales footprints, and diligent expense control.”

Fourth quarter sales in the U.S. decreased by 2.7% compared to the fourth quarter of 2015, primarily due to one less selling day in the fourth quarter of 2016.  International sales increased by 109.0% over the fourth quarter of 2015 on an as reported basis and 111.8% on a constant currency basis.

Fourth quarter GAAP net income was $24.3 million, a decrease of 35.4% over the same period last year resulting from the one-time positive net income impact of $7.6 million in 2015 due to the settlement of outstanding litigation.  Diluted EPS for the fourth quarter was $0.25, as compared to $0.39 for the fourth quarter 2015.  Non-GAAP diluted EPS, which removes the impact of this litigation and acquisition related expenses, for the fourth quarter was $0.31, compared to $0.32 in the fourth quarter of 2015.

The company generated net cash provided by operating activities of $51.9 million and non-GAAP free cash flow of $37.7 million in the fourth quarter.  Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities ended the quarter at $350.8 million.  The company remains debt free.

The company plans to request an extension to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 by filing Form 12b-25, Notification of Late Filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  The company concluded it is not able to compile all information necessary to complete its Form 10-K by March 1, 2017 without unreasonable effort or expense.  The company anticipates filing its Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 within the extension period.

2017 Annual Guidance
The company projects 2017 full year sales of $625 million and and non-GAAP fully diluted earnings per share of $1.27.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement our financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”), management uses certain non-GAAP financial measures.  For example, non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA, which represents net income before interest income, net and other non-operating expenses, provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, provisions for litigation, technology in-licensing fee, and acquisition related costs, is useful as an additional measure of operating performance, and particularly as a measure of comparative operating performance from period to period, as it is reflective of changes in pricing decisions, cost controls and other factors that affect operating performance, and it removes the effect of our capital structure, asset base, income taxes and interest income and expense.  Our management also uses non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA for planning purposes, including the preparation of our annual operating budget and financial projections.  Provision for litigation represents costs incurred for litigation settlements or unfavorable verdicts when the loss is known or considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated, or in the case of a favorable settlement, when income is realized.  Acquisition related costs/licensing represents the change in fair value of business acquisition related contingent consideration; costs related to integrating recently acquired businesses including but not limited to costs to exit or convert contractual obligations, severance, and information system conversion; and specific costs related to the consummation of the acquisition process such as banker fees, legal fees, and other acquisition related professional fees, as well as one time licensing fees.

In addition, for the period ended December 31, 2016 and for other comparative periods, we are presenting non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share, which represents net income and diluted earnings per share excluding the provision for litigation, amortization of intangibles, acquisition related costs/licensing, prior period adjustment and the tax effects of such adjustments.  Prior period adjustments represent the cumulative impact of prior year adjustments related to depreciation, scrap and provision for excess and obsolete inventory, none of which were individually material to the related year’s financial position or results of operations.  We believe these non-GAAP measures are also useful indicators of our operating performance, and particularly as additional measures of comparative operating performance from period to period as they remove the effects of litigation, amortization of intangibles, acquisition related costs/licensing, prior period adjustments and the tax effects of such adjustments, which we believe are not reflective of underlying business trends.  Additionally, for the periods ended December 31, 2016 and for other comparative periods, we also define the non-GAAP measure of free cash flow as the net cash provided by operating activities, adjusted for the impact of restricted cash, less the cash impact of purchases of property and equipment.  We believe that this financial measure provides meaningful information for evaluating our overall financial performance for comparative periods as it facilitates an assessment of funds available to satisfy current and future obligations and fund acquisitions.  Furthermore, the non-GAAP measure of constant currency sales growth is calculated by translating current year sales at the same average exchange rates in effect during the applicable prior year period.  We believe constant currency sales growth provides insight to the comparative increase or decrease in period sales, in dollar and percentage terms, excluding the effects of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates.

Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP diluted earnings per share, free cash flow and constant currency sales growth are not calculated in conformity with U.S. GAAP.  Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.  These measures do not include certain expenses that may be necessary to evaluate our liquidity or operating results.  Our definitions of non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP diluted earnings per share, free cash flow and constant currency sales growth may differ from that of other companies and therefore may not be comparable.  Additionally, we have recast prior periods for non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share.

Orthofix International Reports Fourth Quarter and Fiscal 2016 Financial Results

February 27, 2017

LEWISVILLE, Texas–(BUSINESS WIRE)–

Orthofix International N.V. (OFIX) today reported its financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended December 31, 2016. For the fourth quarter of 2016, net sales were $108.5 million, loss per share from continuing operations was ($0.29) and adjusted earnings per share from continuing operations was $0.42. For fiscal year 2016, net sales were $409.8 million, earnings per share from continuing operations was $0.19 and adjusted earnings per share from continuing operations was $1.46.

“We are very proud of what we accomplished in 2016 and are encouraged by our momentum at year-end,” commented Brad Mason, President and Chief Executive Officer. “We improved our performance during the year in almost every aspect of our business and exited an era of heavy investment with a rebuilt infrastructure, robust compliance program, rigorous financial controls, strong balance sheet, excellent free cash flow and great momentum in our BioStim and Extremity Fixation businesses. Looking ahead to the next chapter for Orthofix, we are now well positioned and committed to execute on both organic and inorganic strategic opportunities focused on accelerating shareholder value creation.”

Financial Results Overview

Fourth Quarter

The following table provides net sales by strategic business unit (“SBU”):

Three Months Ended December 31,

BioStim $ 47,803 $ 44,993 6.2 % 6.2 %
Biologics 15,227 15,958 (4.6 %) (4.6 %)
Extremity Fixation 26,843 23,931 12.2 % 14.3 %
Spine Fixation 18,664 19,740 (5.5 %) (5.6 %)
Net sales $ 108,537 $ 104,622 3.7 % 4.2 %

Gross profit increased $2.0 million to $85.2 million. Gross margin decreased to 78.5% compared to 79.5% in the prior year period, primarily due to an increase in the mix of net sales from our Extremity Fixation SBU, which have lower margins than our regenerative products. Net margin (gross profit less sales and marketing expenses) was $36.5 million, a decrease of 5.1% compared to $38.5 million in the prior year period. The decrease in net margin was primarily due to higher sales and marketing expenses, driven by higher compensation costs, including commissions.

Net loss from continuing operations was $5.1 million, or ($0.29) per share, compared to net income of $2.1 million, or $0.11 per share in the prior year period. Adjusted net income from continuing operations was $7.7 million, or $0.42 per share, compared to adjusted net income of $7.6 million, or $0.40 per share in the prior year period.

EBITDA was $8.6 million, compared to $12.5 million in the prior year period. Adjusted EBITDA was $21.1 million or 19.4% of net sales for the fourth quarter, compared to $19.3 million or 18.4% of net sales in the prior year period.

Fiscal Year 2016

The following table provides net sales by SBU:

BioStim $ 176,561 $ 164,955 7.0 % 7.0 %
Biologics 57,912 59,832 (3.2 %) (3.2 %)
Extremity Fixation 102,683 96,034 6.9 % 9.6 %
Spine Fixation 72,632 75,668 (4.0 %) (4.0 %)
Net sales $ 409,788 $ 396,489 3.4 % 4.0 %

Gross profit increased $12.0 million to $321.9 million and gross margin increased to 78.6% compared to 78.2% in the prior year period. The increase in gross profit and gross margin was driven by an increase in sales, an increase in sales mix for our BioStim products, and lower fixed costs. Net margin was $140.6 million, an increase of 6.6% compared to $131.9 million in the prior year period. The increase in net margin was due to the higher gross profit, partially offset by higher sales and marketing expenses, including an increase in commissions as a result of the increase in net sales.

Net income from continuing operations was $3.5 million, or $0.19 per share, compared to net loss of $2.3 million, or ($0.12) per share in the prior year. Adjusted net income from continuing operations was $27.0 million, or $1.46 per share, compared to adjusted net income of $19.9 million, or $1.05 per share in the prior year.

EBITDA was $39.1 million, compared to $29.9 million in the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA was $79.3 million or 19.4% of net sales for the year, compared to $60.7 million or 15.3% of net sales in the prior year.

Liquidity

As of December 31, 2016, cash and cash equivalents were $39.6 million compared to $63.7 million as of December 31, 2015. The decrease in cash and cash equivalents is due primarily to the repurchase of shares and funding the settlements with the SEC. As of December 31, 2016, we had no outstanding indebtedness and borrowing capacity of $125 million. Cash flow from operations increased $1.1 million to $44.7 million, while free cash flow increased $10.7 million to $26.4 million.

2017 Outlook

For the year ending December 31, 2017, the Company expects the following results, assuming exchange rates are the same as those currently prevailing.

High-Quality Low-Cost Patient Care: Why the ASC Model May Well Represent the Future of Healthcare Providers in the US?

The major challenge dominating the healthcare industry has always been to lower the cost of patient care while not sacrificing quality. As technology continues to advance in surgery, more procedures can be done outside a traditional hospital setting (such as in surgery centers and physician offices). Ambulatory Surgery Centers (ASCs) have stood as the “high-quality low-cost patient care” model despite many regulatory changes in the healthcare scene.

With ASCs, Medicare and its beneficiaries share in more than $2.6 billion in savings annually because Medicare pays significantly less for procedures performed in ASCs compared to hospital outpatient departments (HOPDs). This trend encompasses more than just Medicare; ASCs are highly sought after by payers who are looking for lower facility fees. Commercial insurance providers and their beneficiaries save $38 billion each year with ASCs.

In its 2017 ASC Payment System rates and policies, CMS projects a 1.9 percent increase. On the other hand, as part of the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015 (Budget Deal), Congress mandated that, beginning in 2017, all off-campus physician practices and ASCs acquired by a hospital, following enactment of the law in November 2015, would no longer be reimbursed using the HOPD payment rates. CMS calls them “off-campus provider-based departments (PBDs).” Off-campus PBDs will be paid under MPFS (Medicare Physician Fee Schedule) in most cases instead of the higher-paying OPPS.

On the patient’s side, co-pays are significantly lower when care is received in an ASC. For instance, a (Medicare beneficiary) patient could be paying $496 for co-insurance in a cataract extraction procedure if performed in the HOPD; whereas in an ASC setting, the patient could pay as little as a $195 co-pay.

Here’s an infographic of how ASCs have evolved over the years and helped bring healthcare costs down while increasing patient satisfaction.

Hospitals who want to avoid the cost of running non-acute outpatient departments are also beginning to establish ASCs of their own or entering into joint partnerships. Hence the rise of ASCs in recent years. In 2014 alone, there were more than 5000 ASCs performing 23 million surgeries a year.

Total revenues for the full year 2016 were $992.1 million, an increase of $109.3 million, or 12.4%, over the full year 2015.  Total revenues for the fourth quarter were $255.7 million, representing an increase of $14.5 million, or 6.0%, over the fourth quarter of 2015.

Organic revenues, computed by adjusting GAAP revenues as set forth in the attached reconciliation, increased over 2015 by 9.0% in the full year, and 7.0% in the fourth quarter.

“We were pleased with our performance in 2016, which resulted in full-year organic revenue growth of 9% and full-year adjusted gross margin of 69.5%,” said Peter Arduini, Integra’s President and Chief Executive Officer.  “We look forward to a transformative 2017 as we integrate two of the largest acquisitions in the Company’s history.”

The Company reported GAAP net income of $74.6 million, or $0.94 per diluted share, for the full year 2016, compared to GAAP net income of $6.9 million, or $0.10 per diluted share in 2015.  Results in 2015 included a $35.6 million non-cash tax charge to establish a valuation allowance for certain deferred tax assets associated with the SeaSpine separation.  The Company reported GAAP net income of $28.2 million, or $0.35 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2016 compared to GAAP net income of $15.0 million, or $0.20 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2015.

Adjusted measures discussed below are computed with the adjustments to GAAP reporting set forth in the attached reconciliation.

Adjusted EBITDA for the full year 2016 was $231.7 million, or 23.4% of revenue, an increase from $195.6 million, or 22.2% of revenue, in the prior year.  Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter of 2016 was $66.5 million, or 26.0% of revenue, an increase from $56.7 million, or 23.5% of revenue, in the fourth quarter of the prior year.

Outlook for 2017

The Company expects full year 2017 revenues to be between $1.12 billion and $1.14 billion, including the Derma Sciences acquisition, and organic sales growth to be between 7% and 8.5%. The Company expects its GAAP EPS for the full year to be between $0.49 and $0.55, and adjusted EPS to be between $1.88 and $1.94.

“In 2016, faster growth in higher margin products resulted in meeting or exceeding the high-end of our earnings and operating cash flow targets,” said Glenn Coleman, Chief Financial Officer. “The Derma Sciences tender offer has been completed and we expect the transaction to close shortly.  We are now including Derma Sciences into our 2017 guidance, while the assumptions underlying our base business remain unchanged.”

Full-year 2017 revenue and EPS guidance includes the expected financial impact of Derma Sciences. Our GAAP EPS and cash flow guidance also reflect the estimated expense and cash impact of estimates for pre-close costs associated with the Codman Neurosurgery acquisition. The post-closing financial impact of the Codman Neurosurgery acquisition is excluded from guidance and will be updated later in the year.

In the future, the Company may record, or expect to record, certain additional revenues, gains, expenses or charges as described in the Discussion of Adjusted Financial Measures below that it will exclude in the calculation of organic revenue growth, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EPS for historical periods and in providing adjusted EPS guidance.

Organic revenues consist of growth in total revenues excluding the contribution of acquired products, and effects of currency exchange rates on the current period’s revenues, and the contribution of revenues from discontinued products in both the current and prior periods’ revenues.  Adjusted EBITDA consist of GAAP net (loss)/income from continuing operations, excluding: (i) depreciation and amortization, (ii) other income (expense), net, (iii) interest income and expense, (iv) income taxes, and (v) those operating expenses also excluded from adjusted net income.  The measure of adjusted net income consists of GAAP net (loss)/income from continuing operations, excluding: (i) global ERP implementation charges; (ii) structural optimization charges; (iii) post-spin SeaSpine separation-related charges (iv) certain employee severance charges; (v) acquisition-related charges; (vi) intangible asset amortization expense; (vii) convertible debt non-cash interest; and (viii) income tax impact from adjustments and other items.  The measure of adjusted diluted weighted average shares outstanding is calculated by adding the economic benefit of the convertible note hedge and warrant transactions relating to Integra’s 2016 convertible notes.  The adjusted earnings per diluted share measure is calculated by dividing adjusted net income attributable to diluted shares by diluted weighted average shares outstanding.  The measure of free cash flow consists of GAAP net cash provided by operating activities less purchases of property and equipment.  The adjusted free cash flow conversion measure is calculated by dividing free cash flow by adjusted net income.

Reconciliations of GAAP revenues to organic revenues for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2016 and GAAP net (loss)/income to adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net income, GAAP (losses)/earnings per diluted share to adjusted earnings per diluted share, and GAAP cash provided by operating activities to free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow conversion for the quarters and years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 appear in the financial tables in this release.

The Company believes that the presentation of organic revenues and the various adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income, adjusted earnings per diluted share, adjusted diluted weighted average shares outstanding, free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow conversion measures provides important supplemental information to management and investors regarding financial and business trends relating to the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.  For further information regarding why Integra believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors, the specific manner in which management uses these measures, and some of the limitations associated with the use of these measures, please refer to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K regarding this earnings press release filed today with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  This Current Report on Form 8-K is available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov or on our website at www.integralife.com.

RTI Surgical® Announces 2016 Fourth Quarter, Full Year Results

February 23, 2017

ALACHUA, Fla.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–RTI Surgical Inc. (RTI) (Nasdaq: RTIX), a global surgical implant company, reported operating results for the fourth quarter and full year of 2016. The company also outlined new actions focused on improving execution and returning the company to profitable growth.

RTI’s board and management team have pivoted the company toward growth areas, such as opportunities in the direct business that are beginning to yield early results. The company also initiated a restructuring program that is expected to achieve cost savings and position RTI’s operating platform to capitalize on future growth opportunities. As announced in January, the Board appointed Camille Farhat, an experienced executive and growth-focused leader with proven expertise in revitalizing and growing global health care businesses, to Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Farhat will assume the position on March 15, 2017.

“In a few short weeks, we will welcome Camille Farhat as our new Chief Executive Officer,” said Curtis M. Selquist, Chairman of RTI’s Board of Directors. “Camille’s initial focus will be to lead a 90-day effort focused on assessing and developing a plan to return RTI to profitable and sustainable growth. This will include identifying additional opportunities to reduce the company’s cost structure and improve cash flow, refocusing the company’s culture around accountability and execution, and redirecting its resources to attractive markets that we believe offer the greatest opportunities for growth. Over the course of 2017, the company is committed to driving cost efficiencies, focused innovation and profitable growth, and we will measure and report progress in all areas accordingly.”

RTI Interim Chief Executive Officer Robert Jordheim said, “We are focused on execution and, in parallel with the pending arrival of Camille, we are executing an initial restructuring plan to reduce operating costs and streamline and improve our platform for growth. As a result of this initial cost rationalization, we expect to incur a pre-tax charge of approximately $4 million for severance-related expenses, a majority of which will be recorded in the first quarter of 2017. This initial plan is expected to save the company approximately $8 million of annualized expenses beginning in the first quarter of 2017 and is a first step toward optimizing our expense structure to establish an efficient and more flexible platform upon which to grow profitably.”

RTI’s fourth quarter and full year 2016 financial results, as outlined in greater detail below, reflect that the company has initiated steps in the quarter to improve the operational performance and financial results of its overall business going forward. RTI has delivered strong performance in its direct business, with double-digit growth reported in its spine, surgical specialties, cardiothoracic and international businesses. While RTI’s commercial/other business declined during 2016, primarily due to extraordinarily high commercial orders in 2015, the business did show signs of stabilization during the year.

Fourth Quarter 2016

RTI reported a net loss of $12.0 million in 2016’s fourth quarter, or $0.21 per fully diluted common share, mainly due to pre-tax charges totaling $16.0 million related to excess hernia and sports medicine inventory and asset impairment of the company’s German subsidiary. As outlined in the reconciliation tables that follow, excluding these charges, adjusted net income per fully diluted common share was $0.01 and adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (adjusted EBITDA) was $6.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2016.

Worldwide revenues were $71.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2016, a decrease of 6 percent, domestic revenues were $64.6 million, a decrease of 9 percent, and international revenues were $6.8 million, an increase of 24 percent from 2015’s fourth quarter. The decrease in domestic revenue was primarily due to lower orders in the commercial/other business in 2016 coming off a very strong 2015; partially offset by strong growth in the domestic direct businesses. The increase in international revenues was mainly driven by growth in Asia, primarily in Spine.

Direct revenues were $44.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2016, an increase of 22 percent compared to the fourth quarter of 2015, with particular strength in Spine. RTI’s spine business continues to be one of the fastest-growing spine businesses in the U.S., primarily due to increases in surgeon users and distributor relationships. Commercial/other revenues were $26.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2016.

The company has begun implementing restructuring actions targeted at rightsizing investments toward those businesses and market areas with the greatest potential for long-term growth. This effort is ongoing and is expected to result in both cost savings and additional revenue opportunities over the near- and long-term.

Full Year 2016

Worldwide revenues were $272.9 million for the full year 2016, a decrease of 3 percent compared to revenues for the full year 2015, mainly due to the same factors impacting fourth quarter 2016 worldwide revenues. Domestic revenues were $247.8 million for the full year 2016, a decrease of 5 percent compared to domestic revenues for the full year 2015. International revenues were $25.1 million for the full year 2016, an increase of 15 percent compared to international revenues for the full year 2015. On a constant currency basis, international revenues for the full year 2016 increased 15 percent compared to international revenue for the full year 2015.

Direct revenues were $160.8 million for the full year 2016, an increase of 16 percent compared to direct revenues for the full year 2015. The company experienced double digit growth in the spine, surgical specialties, cardiothoracic, and international businesses. Commercial/other revenues were $112 million for the full year 2016, a decrease of 22 percent compared to commercial/other revenues for the full year 2015. The decline in commercial/other business is primarily related to significantly high orders in 2015 with lower orders in 2016, however the commercial business showed signs of stabilization during the year. In addition, RTI is taking actions to reinvigorate this business by strengthening relationships and investing in innovation.

During the year, the company recorded pre-tax charges totaling $25.6 million as follows: $9.6 million related to hernia and sports medicine inventory, $5.6 million related to asset impairment of the company’s German subsidiary, $1.2 million related to strategic review costs, $4.4 million related to CEO transition and retirement costs, $2.7 million related to contested proxy costs, $1.1 million related to restructuring, and $1 million related to severance. In addition, the company also recorded a foreign net operating loss valuation reserve of $1.2 million.

Net loss applicable to common shares was $18.1 million for the full year 2016, compared to net income applicable to common shares of $11.6 million for the full year 2015. Net loss per common share was $0.31 for the full year 2016, based on 58.2 million common shares outstanding, compared to net income per fully diluted common share of $0.20 for the full year 2015, based on 58.6 million fully diluted common shares outstanding.

As detailed in the reconciliation provided later in this release, adjusted net income applicable to common shares was $2.1 million for the full year 2016, compared to adjusted net income applicable to common shares of $13.4 million for the full year 2015. Adjusted net income per fully diluted common share was $0.04 for the full year 2016, based on 58.5 million fully diluted common shares outstanding, compared to adjusted net income per fully diluted common share of $0.23 for the full year 2015, based on 58.6 million fully diluted common shares outstanding.

Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (adjusted EBITDA), as detailed in the reconciliation provided later in this release, was $29.8 million for the full year 2016 (11 percent of 2016 revenues) compared to $46.3 million for the full year 2015 (16 percent of 2015 revenues).

Fiscal 2017 Outlook

RTI will remain focused in 2017 on execution, continued innovation and profitable growth across each of its business lines and geographies. The company has developed its guidance based on a conservative view of its current restructuring and operational improvement program, its current business profile and existing market conditions.

Within this context, RTI expects full year revenues for 2017 to be between $274 million and $285 million. Compared to the full year 2016, direct revenue is expected to grow mid-to-high single digits on a percentage basis, while commercial/other revenue is expected to account for a relatively flat to low single-digit decline on a percentage basis.

As detailed in the reconciliation provided later in this release, excluding the approximately $4 million pre-tax charge for severance-related expenses in 2017 as noted above, adjusted full year net income per fully diluted common share is expected to be in the range of $0.05 to $0.10, based on 59.5 million fully diluted common shares outstanding.

RTI will continue to evaluate its operating platform throughout the year and will update its 2017 top- and bottom-line guidance as its actions might warrant.

RTI will host a conference call and simultaneous audio webcast to discuss its fourth quarter and full year results at 8:30 a.m. ET today. The conference call can be accessed by dialing (877) 383-7419. The webcast can be accessed through the investor section of RTI’s website at www.rtix.com.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements presented on a GAAP basis, the Company discloses certain non-GAAP financial measures that exclude certain amounts, including Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income Applicable to Common Shares and Adjusted Net Income per Common Share – Diluted. The calculation of the tax effect on the adjustments between GAAP net (loss) income applicable to common shares and non-GAAP net income applicable to common shares is based upon our estimated annual GAAP tax rate, adjusted to account for items excluded from GAAP net (loss) income applicable to common shares in calculating Adjusted Net Income Applicable to Common Shares-Diluted. A reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to the corresponding GAAP measures is included in the tables listed above.

The following is an explanation of the adjustments that management excluded as part of adjusted measures for the three and twelve month period ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 as well as the reason for excluding the individual items:

(1) 2016 Excess inventory charge – This adjustment represents an inventory charge as a result of writing-off certain excess product quantities primarily for excess hernia and sports medicine inventory. Management removes the amount of these expenses from our operating results to supplement a comparison to our past operating performance.

(2) 2016 Strategic review costs – This adjustment represents charges relating to a comprehensive strategic review of the Company’s business lines and operations to leverage the Company’s expertise, technology and products and identify opportunities to increase stockholder value. Management removes the amount of these expenses from our operating results to supplement a comparison to our past operating performance.

(3) 2016 CEO Retirement and transition costs – This adjustment represents charges relating to the retirement of our Chief Executive Officer, Brian K. Hutchison, pursuant to the Executive Transition Agreement dated August 29, 2012 and Executive Separation Agreement dated August 15, 2016. Management removes the amount of these expenses from our operating results to supplement a comparison to our past operating performance.

(4) 2016 Contested proxy expenses – This adjustment represent charges relating to contested proxy expenses. Management removes the amount of these costs from our operating results to supplement a comparison to our past operating performance.

(5) 2016 and 2015 Asset impairment and abandonments – This adjustment represents an asset impairment in 2016 and abandonment of certain long-term assets at our German facility in 2015. Management removes the amount of these costs from our operating results to supplement a comparison to our past operating performance. Due to the significant effort that is required to determine the fair value of German facility’s long-lived assets, the Company was unable to finalize the 2016 long-lived asset impairment analysis as of the date of this release. The Company will finalize the impairment analyses and reflect the finalized fair value in its December 31, 2016 Form 10-K. The long-lived asset impairment reported in this release is the Company’s current best estimate of the impairment amount.

(6) 2015 Litigation and settlement charges – This adjustment represents charges relating to settlements of domestic and international distributor disputes. Management removes the amount of these costs from our operating results to supplement a comparison to our past operating performance.

(7) 2016 Restructuring charges – This adjustment represents the closure of our French distribution and tissue procurement office. Management removes the amount of these costs from our operating results to supplement a comparison to our past operating performance.

(8) 2016 and 2015 Severance charges – This adjustment represents charges relating to the termination of former employees. Management removes the amount of these costs from our operating results to supplement a comparison to our past operating performance.

(9) 2016 Foreign net operating loss valuation reserve – This adjustment represents charges relating to a foreign net operating loss valuation reserve. Management removes the amount of these costs from our operating results to supplement a comparison to our past operating performance.

Material Limitations Associated with the Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income Applicable to Common Shares and Adjusted Net Income per Common Share – Diluted should not be considered in isolation, or as a replacement for GAAP measures.

Usefulness of Non-GAAP Financial Measures to Investors

The Company believes that presenting Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income Applicable to Common Shares and Adjusted Net Income per Common Share – Diluted in addition to the related GAAP measures provide investors greater transparency to the information used by management in its financial decision-making. The Company further believes that providing this information better enables the Company’s investors to understand the Company’s overall core performance and to evaluate the methodology used by management to assess and measure such performance.

MiMedx Announces 2016 Record Results

MARIETTA, Ga., Feb. 23, 2017 /PRNewswire/ — MiMedx Group, Inc.

    * See the accompanying tables for definitions of each Non-GAAP metric. Reconciliations of GAAP EBITDA to Adjusted EBITDA, GAAP Gross Margin to Adjusted Gross Margin, and GAAP Net Income to Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Diluted Net Income Per Share appear in the tables below. These non-GAAP measures include, but are not limited to, adjustments for non-cash charges associated with purchase accounting related to the Stability Biologics acquisition, normalization of tax expense, one-time non-recurring cash charges and share based compensation expense.

Parker H. “Pete” Petit, Chairman and CEO stated, “The final revenue is $1.8 million lower than we pre-released on January 9, 2017. This lower revenue is the result of the decision that we made to take what we believe is a very conservative approach related to the transition of certain government accounts from a distributor’s Federal Supply Schedule (FSS) contract to our own FSS contract. As previously reported, the Company has been transitioning since 2015 from sales to government accounts through our relationship with AvKare to sales directly to government accounts on our own FSS. In connection with that transition, we have an obligation to repurchase AvKare’s remaining inventory, if any, within 90 days following the expiration of the agreement on June 30, 2017.  At that time, the Company expects AvKare’s inventory to be minimal based on AvKare’s obligation to use commercially reasonable efforts to achieve target sales levels over the remaining term of the agreement.”

Results for Full Year and Fourth Quarter Ended December 31, 2016
The Company recorded record revenue for the year ended December 31, 2016 of $245.0 million, a $57.8 million or 31% increase over 2015 revenue of $187.3 million.  The Company’s gross margin for the year ended December 31, 2016, was 87%, compared to an 89% gross margin in the same period of 2015.   The decline in gross profit was driven by the impact of purchase accounting related to the acquisition as well as product mix in certain Stability Biologics products. The Company expects overall product gross margins to improve in 2017. Net Income for the year ended December 31, 2016, was $12.0 million, or $.11 per diluted common share, as compared to Net Income of $29.4 million, or $0.26 per diluted common share, in the same period of 2015.  Adjusted EBITDA* for the year ended December 31, 2016, was $44.4 million, as compared to Adjusted EBITDA* of $44.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2015.

The Company recorded record revenue for the 2016 fourth quarter of $69.9 million, a $18.0 million or 35% increase over 2015 fourth quarter revenue of $51.8 million. The Company’s gross margin for the quarter ended December 31, 2016, was 87%, as compared to the 90% gross margin in the fourth quarter of 2015. Net Income for the fourth quarter of 2016, was $5.5 million, or $.05 per diluted common share, a $7.9 million or 59% reduction, as compared to Net Income of $13.4 million, or $0.12 per diluted common share, which included an income tax benefit of $5.7 million due to the release of our net operating loss valuation allowance, in the fourth quarter of 2015.  Adjusted EBITDA* for the quarter ended December 31, 2016, was $13.9 million, a $1.0 million or 8% improvement, as compared to Adjusted EBITDA* of $12.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2015.

Management Commentary on Results
Petit said, “We are very pleased with the performance of both of our sales verticals during 2016 and especially during the fourth quarter. Our fourth quarter revenue performance was within our guidance, and it marked 21 consecutive quarters of sequential revenue growth and 20 of 21 quarters of meeting or exceeding our revenue guidance.  Our core advanced wound care revenue, led by our commercial accounts, was the primary contributor to our record fourth quarter performance. Our new products performed very well with EpiCord®, our new dehydrated human umbilical cord allograft, receiving substantial interest among physicians, and AmnioFill™ and OrthoFlo Lyophilized, our other recently launched new products, met the Company’s performance expectations.”

Bill Taylor, President and COO, noted, “Our 2016 Wound Care revenue of $184.0 million grew by 30% and Surgical, Sports Medicine and Orthopedics (“SSO”) revenue of $61.0 million increased by 32% over 2015.  In the fourth quarter, Wound Care performed extremely well, growing 32% over the fourth quarter of 2015. Our SSO revenue grew significantly and increased by 44% over the 2016 fourth quarter, despite lower than expected fourth quarter revenue from Stability Biologics. EpiFix®, the Company’s flagship product, continues to drive our leadership position in the advanced wound care market. EpiFix is very strong with both our commercial wound care accounts, as well as government accounts.”

Petit commented, “With respect to cash flow and profitability, we were pleased that our cash position at the end of the fourth quarter increased so significantly and the Days Sales Outstanding (DSO) in our Accounts Receivable show a favorable decline. Our profit performance during 2016 was challenging early in the year because of our new product investments, but our profitability was up in the fourth quarter. The fourth quarter was our 20th consecutive quarter of recording positive Adjusted EBITDA*, and our 10th consecutive quarter of operating profit.”

Taylor said, “2016 was another year of accelerated investments in clinical trials. At the end of the year, we had 27 clinical studies ongoing with more than 100 clinical sites under management. As of now, our Compendium of peer-reviewed published studies including completed Randomized Control Trials (RCTs), scientific studies and significant case studies totals 46. Our ongoing investment in this strategy is continuing to propel our successes in gaining reimbursement coverage and furthering our regulatory approvals. During 2016, we added 32.5 million new covered lives and added 21 new plans providing coverage. By year end, we had over 298 million covered lives, which represents more than a 12% increase over year end 2015.”

Petit stated, “With the publication of our 2016 audited financial results, much of the innuendo associated with the recent allegations that two former employees have made against the Company should be resolved. Furthermore, we expect the Audit Committee of our Board will soon be releasing its findings from its in-depth investigation into these allegations. When the results from that investigation are reported, management believes any remaining innuendo that might possibly still remain should be completely resolved.”

“Our sales organization now totals approximately 325 individuals.  We have implemented certain territory realignments and management changes to focus on our growth. We have a large sales force with great expertise and effectiveness, and we look forward to continuing to show exceptional growth,” commented Taylor.

“Our first quarter of 2017 expectations are tempered by the normal seasonality effects experienced in the first quarter of every year. Even with that offset for seasonality, our first quarter of 2017 guidance provides for 30% to 36% revenue growth over first quarter of 2016 of $53.4 million. With the traditional seasonality experienced in our market, the first quarter of the year is typically the lightest quarter, followed by strong growth in the second, slightly lower growth in the third quarter due to some vacation effects, and then another quarter of strong growth with the fourth quarter,” said Petit.

Liquidity and Cash Flow
Cash on hand as of December 31, 2016, was $34.4 million, as compared to $28.5 million as of December 31, 2015. Net working capital as of December 31, 2016 increased $6.3 million to $75.8 million, as compared to $69.5 million as of December 31, 2015.  The Company recorded positive net cash flow from operating activities of $25.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2016 due primarily to increased Adjusted EBITDA*.

Share Repurchase Program
The Company continued to acquire its shares through the Company’s Share Repurchase Program during 2016. Since the May 2014 inception of the program through December 31, 2016, the Company acquired $56.1 million in repurchased shares.

In its press release of February 6, 2017, the Company announced that the MiMedx Board of Directors had authorized an increase of $10 million to the Company’s Share Repurchase Program, and the Board would consider a substantial additional commitment to this program at its next meeting. The Board’s action earlier in February brought the total authorized to $76 million since the Share Repurchase Program commenced. The Company reported that at yesterday’s meeting, the MiMedx Board of Directors authorized an additional increase of $10 million to the Share Repurchase Program, bringing the total authorized to date to $86 million. “With the on-going undervaluation, market conditions, our available resources and other related factors, I believe this increase is a very wise investment for the Company and one that will continue to be anti-dilutive,” commented Petit.

GAAP Earnings
The Company recorded Net Income of $12.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2016, or $0.11 per diluted common share, as compared to a Net Income of $29.4 million, or $0.26 per diluted common share, for the year ended December 31, 2015. The Company recorded Net Income of $5.5 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2016, or $0.05 per diluted common share, as compared to a Net Income of $13.4 million, or $.12 per diluted common share, for the quarter ended December 31, 2015.

Full year 2016 Research & Development (“R&D”) expenses were $12.0 million or 5% of Net Sales, an increase of $3.6 million over full year 2015 R&D expenses of $8.4 million. Fourth quarter 2016 R&D expenses were $3.5 million or 5% of Net Sales, an increase of $1.1 over fourth quarter 2014 R&D expenses of $2.3 million.

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses for full year 2016 were $180.0 million, a $46.6 million increase over full year 2015 SG&A expenses of $133.4 million.  SG&A expenses for the fourth quarter of 2016 were $48.4 million, an $11.9 million increase over fourth quarter of 2015 SG&A expenses of $36.5 million.  Increases in SG&A were due to the continuation of the buildup of the Company’s National Accounts function, direct sales force in Wound Care and SSO sales channels, as well as patent litigation costs.

“As I have previously stated, our 2016 earnings were reduced due to the Company’s increased expenses related to our accelerated introductions of the three new products we launched during the year. We believe this strategic decision to accelerate their respective launches and allocation of sales and marketing resources and expenses will prove to be very beneficial as we see the 2017 and beyond revenue results from these products, each of which address critical needs of the market,” concluded Petit.

Revenue Breakdown
The Company distinguishes revenue in two categories: (1) Wound Care and (2) SSO, which includes Original Equipment Manufacturer (“OEM”) applications. For fourth quarter of 2016, Wound Care revenue was $52.8 million, representing 75.5% of total revenue, and SSO (including OEM) revenue was $17.1 million, representing 24.5% of total revenue.

Earnings Call
MiMedx management will host a live broadcast of its fourth quarter and full year 2016 results conference call on Thursday, February 23, 2017, beginning at 10:30 a.m. eastern time.  A listen-only simulcast of the MiMedx Group conference call will be available on-line at the Company’s website at www.mimedx.com.  A 30-day on-line replay will be available approximately one hour following the conclusion of the live broadcast.  The replay can also be found on the Company’s website at www.mimedx.com.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Management has disclosed adjusted financial measurements in this press announcement that present financial information that is not in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).  These measurements are not a substitute for GAAP measurements, although Company management uses these measurements as aids in monitoring the Company’s on-going financial performance from quarter-to-quarter and year-to-year on a regular basis and for benchmarking against other medical technology companies.  Adjusted EBITDA* is earnings before financing expense, interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, and share-based compensation.  For a reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable financial measure, see the accompanying table to this release.  Adjusted financial measures used by the Company may be calculated differently from, and therefore may not be comparable to, similarly titled measures used by other companies.  Investors should consider adjusted measures in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial performance measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Safe Harbor Statement
This press release includes statements that look forward in time or that express management’s beliefs, expectations or hopes.  Such statements are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  These statements include, but are not limited to, the Company’s financial projections for the first quarter and full year 2017, that the lowering of the fourth quarter 2016 revenue related to government account transitioning was a conservative approach, that the Company’s expectations that remaining inventory of AvKare that is subject to repurchase obligations will be minimal, that the Company’s ongoing investment in clinical trials continues to propel its success in gaining reimbursement coverage and regulatory approvals, that the publication of the Company’s 2016 audited financial results will resolve much of the innuendo associated with recent allegations made by former employees, that territory realignments and management changes in the sales force will help continue the Company’s growth, that the repurchase of shares continues to be a wise investment for the Company, that the decision to accelerate the launches of three new products in 2016 will prove to be beneficial in 2017 and beyond.  Among the risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated by such forward-looking statements include that the Company’s 2017 financial performance may not meet expectations, revenue and earnings may not grow or may decline, the Company’s new products may not gain acceptance in the medical community or have the expected market impact, the lowering of fourth quarter 2016 revenue to account for government account transitioning may be insufficient, the AvKare inventory subject to repurchase by the Company after termination of the agreement may be more than minimal, the Company’s investment in clinical trials may not lead to further reimbursement coverage or regulatory approvals, the publication of the Company’s 2016 audited financial results may not resolve the innuendo associated with allegations made against the Company, territory realignments and management changes in the sales force may not help with the Company’s growth or may hurt the Company’s growth, the repurchase of the Company’s shares may prove not to be a wise investment, market demand for the Company’s products may not grow or could decline, and the risk factors detailed from time to time in the Company’s periodic Securities and Exchange Commission filings, including, without limitation, its 10-K filing for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015, and its most recent Form 10Q filing.  By making these forward-looking statements, the Company does not undertake to update them in any manner except as may be required by the Company’s disclosure obligations in filings it makes with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the federal securities laws.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Reconciliation

In addition to our GAAP results, we provide certain Non-GAAP metrics including Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Gross Margin, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Diluted Net Income per share. We believe that the presentation of these measures provides important supplemental information to management and investors regarding our performance.   These measurements are not a substitute for GAAP measurements, although Company management uses these measurements as aids in monitoring the Company’s on-going financial performance from quarter-to-quarter and year-to-year on a regular basis and for benchmarking against other medical technology companies. Adjusted EBITDA consists of GAAP Net Income excluding: (i) depreciation and amortization, (ii) other income (expense), (iii) interest income and expense, (iv) income taxes,  (v) one time acquisition related costs, (vi) the effect of purchase accounting due to acquisitions and (vii) share-based compensation expense.   Due to the impact of the acquisition of Stability in January 2016 and the release of the valuation allowance on the deferred tax asset on reported tax expense in 2015 on results, we have decided to provide additional adjusted non-GAAP measures to provide comparability of normal ongoing operating results. Beginning in 2016, we have reported Adjusted Gross Margin, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Diluted Net Income per Share to normalize results for comparison purposes.  Adjusted Gross Margin consists of GAAP gross margin excluding amortization of inventory fair value step-up. Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Diluted Net Income per share consists of GAAP net income excluding: (i) one time acquisition related costs, (ii) amortization of inventory fair value step-up, (iii) amortization of intangible assets and (iv) share-based compensation. Reconciliations of GAAP net income to Adjusted EBITDA, GAAP Gross Margin to Adjusted Gross Margin and GAAP Net Income to Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Diluted Net Income per share for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014 appear in the tables below (in thousands):

Wright Medical reports 2016 Fourth Quarter and Full-Year Financial results

AMSTERDAM, The Netherlands, Feb. 21, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Wright Medical Group N.V. (NASDAQ:WMGI) today reported financial results for its fourth quarter and full-year ended December 25, 2016 and provided 2017 guidance.

As a result of the previously announced sale of the large joints (hip/knee) business to Corin Orthopaedics Holdings Limited (Corin), this business which was previously reported as a separate reporting segment is now reported as discontinued operations. In addition, as a result of the merger between Wright Medical Group, Inc. and Tornier N.V. on October 1, 2015, legacy Wright’s historical results of operations replaced legacy Tornier’s historical results of operations for all periods prior to the merger and the results of the two legacy businesses have been consolidated only from that date forward in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). This release and Wright’s website at ir.wright.com contain certain unaudited non-GAAP combined pro forma financial results for Wright Medical Group N.V. which give effect to the merger as if it had occurred on the first day of fiscal 2015. In addition, following the closing of the merger, Wright adopted legacy Tornier’s fiscal calendar, which resulted in four fewer calendar days for the fourth quarter of 2015 than under the legacy Wright fiscal calendar.  Additionally, the Wright business conformed its methodology for recognizing revenue to legacy Tornier’s methodology. The attached financial tables include a reconciliation of U.S. GAAP to these non-GAAP financial measures.

Net sales from continuing operations totaled $193.0 million during the fourth quarter ended December 25, 2016, representing 16% as reported growth.  On a same sales day and constant currency basis and excluding the impact of conforming Wright’s methodology for recognizing revenue in the fourth quarter of 2015, non-GAAP pro-forma global net sales grew 12%.  Gross margins from continuing operations were 73.8% during the quarter ended December 25, 2016 and were 77.6% on a non-GAAP adjusted basis.  Reconciliations of all historical non-GAAP financial measures used in this release to the most comparable GAAP measures can be found in the attached financial tables.

Robert Palmisano, president and chief executive officer, commented, “We had a very good fourth quarter, and our full-year results reflect the continued strong underlying growth and positive momentum in all three of our high-growth businesses and our leadership positions in these markets.  Our pro forma constant currency global sales growth of 12%, despite an estimated 3% headwind from dis-synergies, was an acceleration from the third quarter of 2016, and combined with earlier than anticipated progress on capturing cost synergies, resulted in net sales and positive adjusted EBITDA results that exceeded our expectations.  We drove significant overperformance on the top and bottom line in 2016, and we believe we are well positioned to continue driving high sales growth rates and EBITDA margin expansion.”

Palmisano continued, “Highlights in the quarter included strong contributions from our SIMPLICITI shoulder system and the ongoing rollout of AUGMENT and the INFINITY total ankle replacement system, which for the fourth quarter drove 14% sales growth in U.S. shoulder replacement, 29% sales growth in U.S. biologics and 23% sales growth in U.S. total ankle replacement.”

Palmisano further commented, “Our 2017 guidance assumes continued strong underlying constant currency growth, driven by successfully executing our SIMPLICITI and AUGMENT new product launches, launching the PERFORM Reverse Shoulder and expanding the U.S. sales force in order to realize our full potential.  We believe that the positive progress we saw in the fourth quarter is setting us up well for continued strong revenue growth and significant margin expansion in 2017 and beyond.”

Net loss from continuing operations for the fourth quarter of 2016 totaled $30.0 million, or $(0.29) per diluted share.

The company’s net loss from continuing operations for the fourth quarter of 2016 included the after-tax effects of $6.8 million of inventory step-up amortization, $8.4 million of transaction and transition costs, a gain of $1.8 million related to mark-to-market adjustments on derivatives, $10.8 million of non-cash interest expense related to its convertible notes, and a $0.3 million unrealized gain related to mark-to-market adjustments on contingent value rights (CVRs) issued in connection with the BioMimetic acquisition, as well as a $5.6 million tax benefit representing the deferred tax effects associated with the acquired Tornier operations.

The company’s fourth quarter 2016 non-GAAP net loss from continuing operations, as adjusted for the above items, was $13.8 million.  The company’s fourth quarter 2016 non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations, as defined in the non-GAAP to GAAP reconciliation provided later in this release, was $22.7 million. The attached financial tables include reconciliations of all historical non-GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP measures.

Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash totaled $412.3 million as of the end of the fourth quarter of 2016.  This amount includes $150 million classified as restricted cash on the company’s balance sheet that is held in escrow to fund a portion of the metal-on-metal hip litigation Master Settlement Agreement (MSA).  The company currently estimates the opt-in rate for the MSA to be in excess of 98%, which is well above the 95% requirement.

Palmisano concluded, “With the significant progress made in 2016, we are a stronger business that is now well positioned and completely focused on the high-growth extremities and biologics markets.  While I am very pleased with what we accomplished in 2016, we are nowhere close to meeting our full potential, and we continue to have great opportunities for revenue growth and cash improvement.  I believe we are positioned well for future success and achieving our key financial goals of mid-teens constant currency net sales growth, gross margins in the high 70% range and non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA margins of approximately 20% three to four years post the close of the merger.”

Outlook

The company anticipates net sales for full-year 2017 of approximately $755 million to $765 million, representing an as reported growth rate of 9% to 11%.  This range assumes:

  • a negative impact from foreign currency exchange rates as compared to 2016 of approximately 2%;
  • $10 million of net sales dis-synergies resulting from customers lost over the course of 2016 due to the sales force integrations;
  • approximately $3 million of dis-synergies from the anticipated divestiture of the international Salto ankle business; and
  • a positive impact of approximately 1% due to four extra selling days in the fourth quarter of 2017.

The midpoint of this net sales guidance range assumes constant currency growth of approximately 13%, excluding the negative impacts of revenue dis-synergies and Salto divestiture of 2%, and the approximately 1% positive impact of the extra selling days.  Additionally, the company anticipates the second half of the year to grow faster than the first half of the year as it realizes the benefits from its new product launches and sales force expansion.

The company anticipates full-year 2017 non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations, as described in the non-GAAP reconciliation provided later in this release, of $78.5 million to $85.5 million.

The company anticipates non-GAAP adjusted earnings per share from continuing operations, including share-based compensation, as described in the non-GAAP to GAAP reconciliation provided later in this release, for full-year 2017 of $(0.33) to $(0.26) per diluted share.

The company estimates approximately 104.5 million diluted weighted average ordinary shares outstanding for fiscal year 2017.

The company’s non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations target is measured by adding back to net loss from continuing operations charges for interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization expenses, non-cash share-based compensation expense and non-operating income and expense.  Additionally, the company’s adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations target excludes possible future acquisitions; other material future business developments; and due diligence, transaction and transition costs associated with acquisitions and divestitures.  Further, this adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations target excludes any expenses, earnings or losses related to the divested large joints business, legacy Wright’s divested OrthoRecon business and legacy Tornier’s divested ankle replacement and silastic toe products.

The company’s non-GAAP adjusted earnings per share from continuing operations target is measured by adding back to net loss from continuing operations non-cash interest expense associated with the 2017, 2020 and 2021 convertible notes; due diligence, transaction and transition costs associated with acquisitions and divestitures; mark-to-market adjustments to CVRs; non-cash mark-to-market derivative adjustments; and charges for non-cash amortization expenses, net of taxes. Note that as a result of the company’s relatively low effective tax rate due to the valuation allowance impacting a substantial portion of the company’s income/loss, the company is currently estimating the tax effect on amortization expense at 0%. Further, this adjusted earnings per share from continuing operations target excludes possible future acquisitions; other material future business developments; and any expenses, earnings or losses related to the large joints business.

All of the historical non-GAAP financial measures used in this release are reconciled to the most directly comparable GAAP measures. With respect to the company’s 2017 financial guidance regarding non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations and non-GAAP adjusted earnings per share from continuing operations, however, the company cannot provide a quantitative reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP measures without unreasonable effort due to its inability to make accurate projections and estimates related to certain information needed to calculate some of the adjustments as described above, including the market driven fair value adjustments to CVRs and derivatives. The anticipated differences between these non-GAAP financial measures and the most directly comparable GAAP measure are described above qualitatively.

The company’s anticipated ranges for net sales from continuing operations, non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations, and non-GAAP adjusted earnings per share from continuing operations are forward-looking statements, as are any other statements that anticipate or aspire to future events or performance.  They are subject to various risks and uncertainties that could cause the company’s actual results to differ materially from the anticipated targets.  The anticipated targets are not predictions of the company’s actual performance.  See the cautionary information about forward-looking statements in the “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” section of this release.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures  

To supplement the company’s consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, the company uses certain non-GAAP financial measures in this release. Reconciliations of the historical non-GAAP financial measures used in this release to the most comparable GAAP measures for the respective periods can be found in tables later in this release. Wright’s non-GAAP financial measures include combined pro forma net sales; combined pro forma net sales, excluding the impact of foreign currency; adjusted average sales per day (ASPD); adjusted combined pro forma ASPD; net income, as adjusted; EBITDA, as adjusted; gross margin, as adjusted; earnings, as adjusted; and earnings, as adjusted, per diluted share, in each case, from continuing operations. The company’s management believes that the presentation of these measures provides useful information to investors.  These measures may assist investors in evaluating the company’s operations, period over period. While pro forma data gives effect to the merger with Tornier as if it had occurred on the first day of fiscal 2015 and enhances comparability of financial information between periods, pro forma data is not indicative of the results that actually would have been obtained if the merger had occurred as of the beginning of 2015. Wright’s non-GAAP financial measures exclude such items as non-cash interest expense related to the company’s 2017 convertible notes, 2020 convertible notes and 2021 convertible notes, net gains and losses on mark-to-market adjustments on and settlements of derivative assets and liabilities, write-off of unamortized debt discount and deferred financing charges following the partial settlement of 2017 convertible notes and 2020 convertible notes, mark-to-market adjustments on CVRs, and transaction and transition costs, all of which may be highly variable, difficult to predict and of a size that could have substantial impact on the company’s reported results of operations for a period.  It is for this reason that the company cannot provide without unreasonable effort a quantitative reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP measures for its 2017 financial guidance regarding non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations and non-GAAP adjusted earnings per share from continuing operations. Management uses the non-GAAP measures in this release internally for evaluation of the performance of the business, including the allocation of resources and the evaluation of results relative to employee performance compensation targets.  Investors should consider non-GAAP financial measures only as a supplement to, not as a substitute for or as superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.

1 The impact of FX on net sales is calculated by translating current year results at prior year average foreign currency exchange rates.

Reflects growth of Q4 2016 Non-GAAP ASPD, excluding the impact of FX, over the Q4 2015 Non-GAAP adjusted combined pro forma ASPD.

To add revenues from Legacy Tornier’s fourth quarter for the period prior to merger closing date when operations became consolidated.

Legacy Wright recognized approximately $3 million during the fourth quarter of 2015, as result of conforming its methodology for revenue recognition with Legacy Tornier.

Legacy Wright and Legacy Tornier have historically operated on different fiscal periods. In order to calculate pro forma sales growth, we have calculated average sales per day based on the respective legacy company and the associated geographic region, then added the legacy company ASPD together.

[Example: Q4 2015 Pro Forma Legacy Tornier U.S. Sales / Legacy Tornier U.S. Selling Days = $880K. Q4 2015 Adjusted Legacy Wright U.S. Sales / Legacy Wright U.S. Selling Days = $1,192K. Adjusted Pro Forma Combined Average Sales per Day = $2,072K]
