Full Year Revenues of $564.4 Million

Full Year Spine and Orthopedics Net Sales Each up 10%

LEWISVILLE, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Orthofix International N.V. (NASDAQ:OFIX) today announced its results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2010.

Reported net sales were $143.8 million and $564.4 million for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2010, respectively. Reported net income was $8.0 million, or $0.44 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter and $44.2 million, or $2.47 per diluted share, for the full year ended December 31, 2010.

"We continue to be encouraged by the growth in our Spinal Implants and Biologics business, as well as the return to positive growth for our Sports Medicine business, " said President and CEO Alan Milinazzo. "Additionally we continue to take the appropriate steps to improve our operating leverage which has allowed us to absorb higher costs associated with certain ongoing legal matters."

Sales Performance

Reported net sales were $143.8 million in the fourth quarter compared to $144.0 million in the fourth quarter of the prior year primarily as a result of the Company's exit from two of its non-strategic product lines. Further, foreign currency negatively impacted fourth quarter net sales by approximately $1.3 million or 1%. Excluding the impact of exiting the vascular and anesthesia product lines along with a prior year accounting adjustment for net sales in our Sports Medicine division, adjusted constant currency net sales increased 5% compared to the same period of the prior year.

Fourth quarter net sales in the Company's combined spine sector were up 6% to $78.7 million. Sales growth in our spine sector was driven by an 11% increase in implants and biologics revenue. The stimulation products used in spine applications growth slowed to 1%, primarily as a result of the ongoing industry wide investigation of the bone growth stimulation business and industry reimbursement challenges.

Reported fourth quarter net sales in the Company's orthopedic sector were $37.5 million, which was an increase of 5%, and represented growth of 8% on a constant currency basis compared to the prior year. This increase was led by its external fixation and deformity correction hardware platforms along with the increased use of Trinity® Evolution™ in orthopedic applications.

Reported net sales of the Company's sports medicine sector were $25.1 million, up 9% in the fourth quarter compared to the prior year. As previously noted, prior year sales were negatively impacted by an accounting adjustment. Excluding this adjustment, adjusted net sales of the Company's sports medicine sector returned to a positive growth of 3% in the fourth quarter compared to the prior year due to improved performances of its bracing and cold therapy product lines.

For the full year, net sales were $564.4 million, up 3% compared to the prior year on a reportable basis. The exit of the vascular and anesthesia product lines along with foreign currency negatively impacted full year 2010 and 2009 net sales by approximately $13.6 million and $30.5 million, respectively. Excluding the impact of exiting the vascular and anesthesia businesses, adjusted constant currency net sales increased 7% compared to the same period of the prior year.

The reconciliations of net sales to adjusted constant currency net sales have been included at the end of this press release.

Earnings Performance

Reported net income for the fourth quarter was down 16% to $8.0 million while net income per diluted share was down 19% to $0.44. Reported net income and net income per diluted share included the previously announced charge related to employee termination benefits of $3.6 million ($2.9 million, net of income taxes, or $0.16 per diluted share) associated with our internal reorganization, which will streamline operations and lower operating costs within the Company's three Global Business Units: Spine, Orthopedics and Sports Medicine. Also, included in reported net income was the previously disclosed patent dispute settlement charge of $2.0 million ($1.3 million, net of income taxes, or $0.07 per diluted share) concerning the Trinity® Evolution™ tissue allograft.

Adjusted net income and adjusted net income per diluted share for the fourth quarter increased 32% and 28%, respectively, compared to the prior year. The following table reconciles reported net income and net income per diluted share to adjusted net income and adjusted net income per diluted share for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2010:

2011 Outlook

In 2011, the Company expects to generate between $580 million and $590 million in net sales or 3% to 5% over reported net sales in 2010 which includes the continued reduction of vascular and anesthesia revenues reported as Other Products.

The Company expects both reported and adjusted net income 2011 to be between $2.60 and $2.70 per diluted share compared to reported net income of $2.47 per diluted share and adjusted net income of $2.19 per diluted share in 2010. This represents a 5% to 9% increase in reported net income per diluted share and an 18% to 23% increase in adjusted net income per diluted share compared to 2010.

The Company expects to incur approximately $8 million, or $0.26 per diluted share, of share-based compensation expense in 2011. This non-cash compensation expense is included in both the reported net income and adjusted net income per diluted share guidance for 2011.

The Company further expects an effective tax rate for 2011 of 38% to 40% due to its current geographical mix of earnings including jurisdictions in operating loss positions for which there is no tax benefit.

Non-GAAP Performance Measures

The tables below present reconciliations of fourth quarter and full year net sales, net income and net income per diluted share calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) to non-GAAP performance measures, referred to as "Adjusted Constant Currency Net Sales" and "Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Net Income per Diluted Share" that exclude the items specified in the tables. The Regulation G Supplemental Information Schedule attached to this release includes additional reconciliations between GAAP measures and non-GAAP measures referred to as "Adjusted Consolidated EBITDA" and "Adjusted Sports Medicine Net Sales". Management believes it is important to provide investors with the same non-GAAP metrics it uses to supplement information regarding the performance and underlying trends of Orthofix's business operations in order to facilitate comparisons to its historical operating results and internally evaluate the effectiveness of the Company's operating strategies. A more detailed explanation of the items in the tables below that are excluded from GAAP net sales and GAAP net income and net income per diluted share, as well as why management believes the non-GAAP measures are useful to them, is included in the Regulation G Supplemental Information schedule attached to this press release.

Reconciliations of Non-GAAP Performance Measures

Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Net Income per Diluted Share Reconciling Items

Note: The reconciling items were tax affected in the current year at the prevailing rate within the respective jurisdictions.

  • Foreign exchange (gain) / loss — due to translation adjustments resulting from the weakening or strengthening of the U.S. Dollar against various foreign currencies. A number of Orthofix's foreign subsidiaries have intercompany and trade accounts payable that are held in currencies, most notably the U.S. Dollar, other than their local currency, and movements in the relative values of those currencies result in foreign exchange gains and losses.
  • Gain on interest rate swap — the change in the fair market value of the Company's interest rate swap that required mark-to-market accounting through the income statement due to its ineffectiveness. The Company paid off the swap approximately one year early in Q2 10.
  • Divested vascular product line — reported gain on the previously announced divesture of the Company's vascular product line to Covidien in March 2010 along with final additional settlement obligations associated with that transaction.
  • Reorganization costs — In 2010 these costs relate to the Global Business Unit restructuring and related reduction in work force associated with reorganization and facility consolidation plans within various areas of the Company. These costs in the prior year, primarily related to spinal implants division consolidation activities.
  • Patent dispute resolution — costs related to the patent dispute settlement charge concerning the Trinity® Evolution™ tissue allograft product.
  • Strategic investments — costs related to the Company's strategic investment in the development and commercialization of a new stem cell-based allograft with MTF, and the agreement with IIS related to the development of a pedicle screw system.
  • Proxy contest — legal expenses associated with a proxy contest initiated by one of the Company's former shareholders.

Adjusted Constant Currency Net Sales Reconciling Items

  • Divested vascular product line — the Company sold the assets of its vascular product line in Q1 10. This adjustment excludes revenue from this business generated in fourth quarter and full year 2009 as well as the revenue generated in fourth quarter and full year 2010 from the transition services supply agreement that commenced upon the sale of the product line. The adjustment also excludes revenues recognized in 2010 prior to the March 2010 sale date.
  • Exited anesthesia product line — the Company exited its anesthesia product line after the expiration of its distribution agreements in the United Kingdom and Italy during Q2 10 and Q3 09, respectively.
  • Impact of change in Breg distributor recognition — sales and certain commission expense for the full year of 2009 previously recorded on separate lines in the income statement were recorded on a net basis as a cumulative revenue reduction in Q4 09 for one distributor, but are now netted on the revenue line. There is no impact on the full year comparative period.
  • Foreign currency impact — the Company is exposed to foreign exchange movements in its non-denominated U.S. Dollar jurisdictions that positively or negatively impact local currency net sales compared to the prior year.

Management use of, and economic substance behind, Non-GAAP Performance Measures

Management uses non-GAAP measures to evaluate performance period over period, to analyze the underlying trends in the Company's business, to assess its performance relative to its competitors and to establish operational goals and forecasts that are used in allocating resources. In addition, following the Company's acquisition of Blackstone Medical, and the related increase in Orthofix's debt, management has increased its focus on cash generation and debt reduction. Management uses these non-GAAP measures as the basis for assessing the ability of the underlying operations to generate cash for use in paying down debt. In addition, management uses these non-GAAP measures to further its understanding of the performance of the Company's business segments. The items excluded from Orthofix's non-GAAP measures are also excluded from the profit or loss reported by the Company's business segments for the purpose of analyzing their performance.

Material Limitations Associated with the Use of Non-GAAP Measures

The non-GAAP measures used in this release may have limitations as analytical tools, and should not be considered in isolation or as a replacement for GAAP performance measures. Some of the limitations associated with the use of these non-GAAP performance measures are that they exclude items that reflect an economic cost to the Company and can have a material effect on cash flows. Similarly, equity compensation expense does not directly impact cash flows, but is part of total compensation costs accounted for under GAAP.

Compensation for Limitations Associated with Use of Non-GAAP Measures

Orthofix compensates for the limitations of its non-GAAP performance measures by relying upon its GAAP results to gain a complete picture of the Company's performance. The GAAP results provide the ability to understand the Company's performance based on a defined set of criteria. The non-GAAP measures reflect the underlying operating results of the Company's businesses, excluding non-cash items, which management believes is an important measure of the Company's overall performance. The Company provides a detailed reconciliation of the non-GAAP performance measures to their most directly comparable GAAP measures, and encourages investors to review this reconciliation.

Usefulness of Non-GAAP Measures to Investors

Orthofix believes that providing non-GAAP measures that exclude certain items provides investors with greater transparency to the information used by the Company's senior management in its financial and operational decision-making. Management believes that providing this information enables investors to better understand the performance of the Company's ongoing operations and to understand the methodology used by management to evaluate and measure such performance. Disclosure of these non-GAAP performance measures also facilitates comparisons of Orthofix's underlying operating performance with other companies in its industry that also supplement their GAAP results with non-GAAP performance measures.
