LEWISVILLE, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Orthofix International N.V. (NASDAQ: OFIX) today announced that it is
delaying the release of its financial results for the fiscal quarter
ended June 30, 2014. The Company requires additional time to evaluate
certain items primarily related to entries contained in the previous
restatement of its prior periods' financial results.
President and Chief Executive Officer Brad Mason stated, "While it is
unfortunate we have discovered items that require additional analysis in
certain previous restatement entries, considering the complexity of our
prior restatement, the identification of potential technical errors is
understandable. We look forward to finalizing the analysis as quickly as
possible and bringing the investment community up to date on the recent
performance of the business." Mr. Mason further stated, "There may be
changes to historical net sales and net income totals, but we expect
that the factors causing these revisions, if any, will have little or no
effect on the underlying performance of the business going forward."
In addition, the Company announced preliminary net sales results for the
fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2014. The Company expects to report:
-
Net sales of $101.3 million
-
BioStim net sales of $39.8 million
-
Biologics net sales of $13.9 million
-
Extremity Fixation net sales of $27.3 million
-
Spine Fixation net sales of $20.2 million
To provide adequate time to fully review and correct identified errors
if any, and to consider and evaluate their level of materiality, the
Company intends to file a Form 12b-25 (Notification of Late Filing) with
the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for the quarter ended June
30, 2014. The Company is proceeding with the objective of filing its
second quarter Form 10-Q, as well as issuing a press release and hosting
a conference call regarding second quarter financial results, no later
than the end of August 2014.
