Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

 

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES

 

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation.  We are a global provider of high-quality orthopedic devices, with a broad range of products used for rehabilitation, pain management and physical therapy. We also develop, manufacture and distribute a broad range of surgical reconstructive implant products. We offer healthcare professionals and patients a diverse range of orthopedic rehabilitation products addressing the complete spectrum of preventative, pre-operative, post-operative, clinical and home rehabilitation care. Our products are used by orthopedic specialists, primary care physicians, pain management specialists, physical therapists, podiatrists, chiropractors, athletic trainers and other healthcare professionals to treat patients with musculoskeletal conditions resulting from degenerative diseases, deformities, traumatic events and sports-related injuries. In addition, many of our non-surgical medical devices and related accessories are used by athletes and patients for injury prevention and at-home physical therapy treatment.

 

We market and distribute our products through three operating segments, Domestic Rehabilitation, International, and Domestic Surgical Implant. Our Domestic Rehabilitation Segment offers to customers in the United States, non-invasive medical products that are used before and after surgery to assist in the repair and rehabilitation of soft tissue and bone, and to protect against further injury; electrotherapy devices and accessories used to treat pain and restore muscle function; iontophoretic devices and accessories used to deliver medication; clinical therapy tables, traction equipment and other clinical therapy equipment; orthotic devices used to treat joint and spine conditions; orthopedic soft goods; rigid knee braces; and vascular systems which include products intended to prevent deep vein thrombosis following surgery. Our Domestic Surgical Implant Segment offers a comprehensive suite of reconstructive joint products to customers in the United States. Our International segment offers all of our products to customers outside the United States.

 

Except as otherwise indicated, references to “us”, “we”, “DJOFL”, “our”, “DJO”, or “our Company”, refers to DJO Finance LLC and its consolidated subsidiaries.

 

On June 12, 2009 we sold our Empi Therapy Solutions (“ETS”) catalog business, formerly known as Rehab Medical Equipment, or RME, to Patterson Medical Supply, Inc. for approximately $21.8 million. As such, results of the ETS business for periods prior to the date of sale have been presented as discontinued operations in our consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes.

 

Noncontrolling interests reflect the 50% separate ownership of Medireha GmbH (“Medireha”) not owned by us, which we have consolidated due to our controlling interest. Our controlling interest consists of our 50% ownership and our control of one of the two director seats, our rights to prohibit certain business activities that are not consistent with our plans for the business and our exclusive distribution rights for products manufactured by Medireha. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of April 3, 2010 and for the three months ended April 3, 2010 and March 28, 2009 have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of April 3, 2010 and for the three months ended April 3, 2010 and March 28, 2009 have been prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements and include all adjustments consisting of normal recurring accruals which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, operating results and cash flows for the interim date and interim periods presented. Results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be achieved for the entire year or future periods.

 

Use of Estimates.  The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates, including those related to contractual allowances, doubtful accounts, inventories, rebates, product returns, warranty obligations, self insurance, income taxes, goodwill and intangible assets and stock-based compensation. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Table of Contents

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents.  Cash consists of deposits with financial institutions. We consider all short-term, highly liquid investments and investments in money market funds and commercial paper with original maturities of less than three months at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. While our cash and cash equivalents are on deposit with high-quality institutions, such deposits exceed Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insured limits.

 

Computer Software Costs.  Software is stated at cost less accumulated amortization and is amortized using the straight-line method over its estimated useful life ranging from three to seven years.  In accordance with ASC Topic 350 (formerly American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position (“SOP”) 98-1, “Accounting for  the Costs of Computer software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use”), we capitalize costs of internally developed software during the development stage.  Additionally, we capitalize related costs including external consulting costs, cost of software licenses, and internal payroll and payroll-related costs for employees who are directly associated with a software project.  Software assets are reviewed for impairment when events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable over the remaining lives of the assets. Upgrades and enhancements are capitalized if they result in added functionality.  In 2008, we began implementing a new ERP system resulting in approximately $14.2 million of capitalized software costs as of April 3, 2010. We will begin amortizing capitalized software upon implementation of the new ERP system.

 

Derivative Financial Instruments.  We account for derivatives pursuant to ASC Topic 815 (formerly SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging”), which requires that all derivative instruments be recognized in the financial statements and measured at fair value regardless of the purpose or intent for holding them.

 

Foreign Exchange Forward Contracts

 

We use foreign exchange forward contracts to hedge expense commitments that are denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. The purpose of our foreign currency hedging activities is to fix the dollar value of specific commitments and payments to foreign vendors. Before acquiring a derivative instrument to hedge a specific risk, potential natural hedges are evaluated.  While our foreign exchange contracts act as economic hedges, we have not designated such instruments as hedges under ASC Topic 815. We determine the fair value of our foreign forward contracts in accordance with ASC Topic 820 (formerly SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurement”).  The classification of gains and losses resulting from changes in the fair values of derivatives is dependent on the intended use of the derivative and its resulting designation. The change in fair value of the derivatives is recorded in unrealized gains or losses within the statement of operations.  At April 3, 2010, the fair value of our foreign exchange forward contracts was a gain of $1.1 million and was determined through the use of models that consider various assumptions, including time value, yield curves, as well as other relevant economic measures, which are inputs that are classified as Level 2 in the valuation hierarchy.

 

Interest Rate Swap Agreements

 

We make use of debt financing as a source of funds and are therefore exposed to interest rate fluctuations in the normal course of business. Our credit facilities are subject to floating interest rates. We manage the risk of unfavorable movements in interest rates by hedging a portion of the outstanding loan balance, thereby locking in a fixed rate on a portion of the principal, reducing the effect of possible rising interest rates and making interest expense more predictable.  We have designated these interest rate swap agreements as cash flow hedges and account for our interest rate swap agreements in accordance with ASC Topic 815.  At April 3, 2010, the fair value of our interest rate swap agreements was a loss of $11.9 million and was determined through the use of models that consider various assumptions, including time value, yield curves, as well as other relevant economic measures, which are inputs that are classified as Level 2 in the valuation hierarchy.

 

Foreign Currency Translation.  The financial statements of our international subsidiaries, where the local currency is the functional currency, are translated into U.S. dollars using period-end exchange rates for assets and liabilities and average exchange rates during the period for revenues and expenses. Cumulative translation gains and losses are excluded from results of operations and recorded as a separate component of consolidated membership equity. Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions (transactions denominated in a currency other than the entity’s local currency) are included in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Discontinued Operations. On June 12, 2009 we sold our ETS catalog business, formerly known as Rehab Medical Equipment, or RME, to Patterson Medical Supply, Inc. for approximately $21.8 million. As such, results of the ETS business for periods prior to the date of sale have been presented as discontinued operations in our consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes.

 

Reclassifications.  The condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying footnotes reflect certain reclassifications to prior year consolidated financial statements to conform to the current year presentation.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements.  In January 2010, we adopted ASC Topic 810 (formerly SFAS No. 167, “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46 (R)”).  ASC Topic 810 amends certain requirements of FASB Interpretation No. 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities” (“FIN 46”), including the addition of entities previously considered qualifying special-purpose entities. The adoption of ASC Topic 815 had no impact on our consolidated financial statements.

 

In January 2010, we adopted ASC Topic 860 (formerly SFAS No. 166, “Accounting for the Transfers of Financial Assets as amendment of FASB Statement No. 140” (“SFAS 166”) which amends SFAS No. 140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets” (“SFAS 140”).  SFAS 166 makes the following amendments to SFAS 140: 1) removes concept of qualifying special-purpose entities from SFAS 140; 2) modifies the financial components approach used and limits the circumstances in which a transferor has not transferred the original financial asset to an entity that is not consolidated with the transferor in the financial statements; 3) establishes conditions for reporting a transfer of a portion of a financial asset as a sale; 4) redefines a participating interest; 5) clarifies that an entity must consider all arrangements or agreements made contemporaneously with, or in contemplation of, a transfer, even if not entered into at the time of the transfer; 6) clarifies that the transferor must evaluate whether it, its consolidated affiliates included in the financial statements being presented, or its agency effectively control the transferred financial asset directly or indirectly; 7) requires that the transferor recognize and initially measure at fair value all assets obtained and liabilities incurred as a result of the a transfer of an entire asset or group of financial assets accounted for as a sale; 8) removes special provisions for guaranteed mortgage securitizations to require them to be treated that same as any other transfer of financial assets; 9) Removes fair value practicability exception from measuring the proceeds received by a transferor in a transfer that meet the conditions for sale accounting at fair value; and 10) requires enhanced disclosures. The adoption of ASC Topic 860 had no impact on our consolidated financial statements.

 

In September 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-13, which amends ASC Topic 605 (formerly EITF Issue No. 08-1, “Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables.”). ASU 2009-13 provides guidance concerning (1) the determination of whether an arrangement involving multiple deliverables contains more than one unit of accounting, and (2) the manner in which consideration should be measured and allocated to the separate units of accounting in the multiple-element arrangement and is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. We are currently evaluating the impact, if any, this issue will have on our consolidated financial statements. However, we do not expect that this issue will result in a change in current practice.

Senior Secured Credit Facility

 

On November 20, 2007, we entered into the Senior Secured Credit Facility which consists of a $1,065.0 million term loan facility maturing May 2014 and a $100.0 million revolving credit facility maturing November 2013. We issued the term loan facility at a 1.2% discount, resulting in net proceeds of $1,052.4 million. The original $12.6 million discount is being amortized as additional interest expense over the term of the term loan facility increasing the reported outstanding balance accordingly. The market value of our term loan facility was approximately $905.0 million as of April 3, 2010 and was determined using trading prices for our term loan on or near that date. As of April 3, 2010, no amounts were drawn related to our revolving credit facility.

 

Interest Rate and Fees.  Borrowings under the Senior Secured Credit Facility bear interest at a rate equal to an applicable margin plus, at our option, either (a) a base rate determined by reference to the higher of (1) the prime rate of Credit Suisse and (2) the federal funds rate plus 0.50% or (b) the Eurodollar rate determined by reference to the costs of funds for deposits in U.S. dollars for the interest period relevant to each borrowing adjusted for required reserves. The initial applicable margin for borrowings under the term loan facility and the revolving credit facility is 2.00% with respect to base rate borrowings and 3.00% with respect to Eurodollar borrowings. The applicable margin for borrowings under the term loan facility and the revolving credit facility may be reduced subject to us attaining certain leverage ratios.

 

We use interest rate swap agreements in an effort to hedge our exposure to fluctuating interest rates related to a portion of our Senior Secured Credit Facility (See Note 13).  On November 20, 2007, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement for a notional amount of $515.0 million at a fixed LIBOR rate of 4.205% which expired at December 31, 2009. In February 2009, we entered into two additional non-amortizing interest rate swap agreements. The first agreement was for a notional amount of $550.0 million at a fixed LIBOR rate of 1.04% beginning February 2009 and expired at December 31, 2009. The second is for a notional amount of $750.0 million at a fixed LIBOR rate of 1.88% beginning January 2010 through December 2010.  In August 2009, we entered into four new non-amortizing interest swap agreements with notional amounts aggregating $300.0 million. Each of the four agreements has a term beginning January 2011 through December 2011. The four agreements are at a weighted average fixed LIBOR rate of 2.5825%.   As of April 3, 2010, our weighted average interest rate for all borrowings under the Senior Secured Credit Facility was 4.55%.

 

In addition to paying interest on outstanding principal under the Senior Secured Credit Facility, we are required to pay a commitment fee to the lenders under the revolving credit facility with respect to the unutilized commitments thereunder. The current commitment fee rate is 0.50% per annum. The commitment fee rate may be reduced subject to us attaining certain leverage ratios. We must also pay customary letter of credit fees.

 

Principal Payments.  We are required to pay annual payments in equal quarterly installments on the loans under the term loan facility in an amount equal to 1.00% of the funded total principal amount through February 2014, with any remaining amount payable in May 2014. Principal amounts outstanding under the revolving credit facility are due and payable in full at maturity.

 

Prepayments.  The Senior Secured Credit Facility requires us to prepay outstanding term loans, subject to certain exceptions, with (1) 50% (which percentage can be reduced to 25% or 0% upon our attaining certain leverage ratios) of our annual excess cash flow, as defined; (2) 100% of the net cash proceeds above an annual amount of $25.0 million from non-ordinary course asset sales (including insurance and condemnation proceeds) by DJO Finance LLC (“DJOFL”) and its restricted subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions to be agreed upon, including a 100% reinvestment right if reinvested or committed to reinvest within 15 months of such sale or disposition so long as reinvestment is completed within 180 days thereafter; and (3) 100% of the net cash proceeds from issuances or incurrences of debt by DJOFL and its restricted subsidiaries, other than proceeds from debt permitted to be incurred under the Senior Secured Credit Agreement. Any mandatory prepayments are applied to the term loan facilities in direct order of maturity.  Based on estimated excess cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2009, we were required to make a prepayment of the term loan outstanding under our Senior Secured Credit Facility of approximately $2.0 million, which we paid in March 2010. We expect to reinvest the net proceeds from our 2009 asset sales during 2010 as permitted by our credit agreement and, as such, our calculation of estimated excess cash flows excluded those net proceeds. We may voluntarily prepay outstanding loans under the Senior Secured Credit Facility at any time without premium or penalty, provided that voluntary prepayments of Eurodollar loans made on a date other than the last day of an interest period applicable thereto shall be subject to customary breakage costs.  In January 2010 we issued $100 million of new 10.875% Senior Notes (see further discussion noted below) and used the net proceeds to make a voluntary prepayment of $101.5 million towards the aggregate principal amount of our term loan under the Senior Secured Credit Facility.  As a result of such prepayment, we accelerated the amortization associated with our unamortized original discount by approximately $0.8 million relating to the portion of the term loans that were repaid.

 

Guarantee and Security.  All obligations under the Senior Secured Credit Facility are unconditionally guaranteed by DJO Holdings LLC (“Holdings”) and each existing and future direct and indirect wholly-owned domestic subsidiary of DJOFL other than immaterial subsidiaries, unrestricted subsidiaries and subsidiaries that are precluded by law or regulation from guaranteeing the obligations (collectively, the “Guarantors”).

 

11



Table of Contents

 

All obligations under the Senior Secured Credit Facility, and the guarantees of those obligations, are secured by pledges of 100% of the capital stock of DJOFL, 100% of the capital stock of each wholly owned domestic subsidiary and 65% of the capital stock of each wholly owned foreign subsidiary that is, in each case, directly owned by DJOFL or one of the Guarantors; and a security interest in, and mortgages on, substantially all tangible and intangible assets of Holdings, DJOFL and each Guarantor.

 

Certain Covenants and Events of Default.  The Senior Secured Credit Facility contains a number of covenants that, among other things, restrict, subject to certain exceptions, our and our subsidiaries’ ability to:

 

·                  incur additional indebtedness;

·                  create liens on assets;

·                  change fiscal years;

·                  enter into sale and leaseback transactions;

·                  engage in mergers or consolidations;

·                  sell assets;

·                  pay dividends and other restricted payments;

·                  make investments, loans or advances;

·                  repay subordinated indebtedness;

·                  make certain acquisitions;

·                  engage in certain transactions with affiliates;

·                  restrict the ability of restricted subsidiaries that are not Guarantors to pay dividends or make distributions;

·                  amend material agreements governing our subordinated indebtedness; and

·                  change our lines of business.

 

In addition, the Senior Secured Credit Facility requires us to maintain a maximum senior secured leverage ratio of 4.15:1 as of the twelve months ended April 3, 2010, stepping down over time to 3.25:1 by the end of 2011. The Senior Secured Credit Facility also contains certain customary affirmative covenants and events of default. Our maximum senior secured leverage ratio was within the covenant level as of April 3, 2010.

 

10.875% Senior Notes Payable

 

On November 20, 2007, DJOFL and DJO Finance Corporation (“Finco”) (collectively, the “Issuers”) issued $575.0 million aggregate principal amount of 10.875% Senior Notes (the “10.875% Notes”) under an agreement dated as of November 20, 2007 (the “10.875% Indenture”) among the Issuers, the guarantors party thereto and The Bank of New York Mellon (formerly known as The Bank of New York), as trustee.

 

On January 20, 2010, we issued $100.0 million aggregate principal amount of new 10.875% Notes, pursuant to the 10.875% Indenture, that also governs our existing 10.875% Notes due 2014 that were issued on November 20, 2007. The net proceeds of the issuance (excluding approximately $2.0 million of interest accrued from November 15, 2009 to January 19, 2010, which amount will be included in the interest payment we will make to noteholders on May 15, 2010, the first interest payment date), along with cash on hand, were used to repay $101.5 million aggregate principal amount of existing term loans under the Senior Secured Credit Facility. In connection with the issuance of these notes, we received an unamortized premium of $5.0 million which is capitalized and amortized over the term of the note within interest expense within our condensed consolidated statement of operations.

 

The 10.875% Notes require semi-annual interest payments of approximately $36.7 million each May 15 and November 15 and are due November 15, 2014. The market value of the 10.875% Notes was approximately $713.8 million as of April 3, 2010 and was determined using trading prices for the 10.875% Notes on or near that date. We believe the trading prices reflect certain differences between prevailing market terms and conditions and the actual terms of our 10.875% Notes.

 

Optional Redemption.  Under the 10.875% Indenture, prior to November 15, 2011, the Issuers have the option to redeem some or all of the 10.875% Notes for cash at a redemption price equal to 100% of the then outstanding principal balance plus an applicable make-whole premium plus accrued and unpaid interest. Beginning on November 15, 2011, the Issuers may redeem some or all of the 10.875% Notes at a redemption price of 105.438% of the then outstanding principal balance plus accrued and unpaid interest. The redemption price decreases to 102.719% and 100% of the then outstanding principal balance at November 2012 and November 2013, respectively. Additionally, from time to time, before November 15, 2010, the Issuers may redeem up to 35% of the 10.875% Notes at a redemption price equal to 110.875% of the principal amount then outstanding, in each case, with proceeds we raise, or a direct or indirect parent company raises, in certain offerings of equity of DJOFL or its direct or indirect parent companies, as long as at least 65% of the aggregate principal amount of the notes issued remains outstanding.

Table of Contents

 

Change of Control.  Upon the occurrence of a change of control, unless DJOFL has previously sent or concurrently sends a notice exercising its optional redemption rights with respect to all of the then-outstanding 10.875% Notes, DJOFL will be required to make an offer to repurchase all of the then-outstanding 10.875% Notes at 101% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest.

 

Covenants.  The 10.875% Indenture contains covenants limiting, among other things, our and our restricted subsidiaries’ ability to incur additional indebtedness or issue certain preferred and convertible shares, pay dividends on, redeem, repurchase or make distributions in respect of the capital stock of DJO or make other restricted payments, make certain investments, sell certain assets, create liens on certain assets to secure debt, consolidate, merge, sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of our assets, enter into certain transactions with affiliates, and designate our subsidiaries as unrestricted subsidiaries. As of April 3, 2010, we were in compliance with all applicable covenants.

 

11.75% Senior Subordinated Notes Payable

 

The Issuers issued $200.0 million aggregate principal amount of 11.75% senior subordinated notes in November 2006 (the “11.75% Notes”). The 11.75% Notes require semi-annual interest payments of approximately $11.8 million each May 15 and November 15 and are due November 15, 2014.

 

The market value of the 11.75% Notes was approximately $217.0 million as of April 3, 2010 and was determined using trading prices for the 11.75% Notes on or near that date. We believe the trading prices reflect certain differences between prevailing market terms and conditions and the actual terms of our 11.75% Notes.

 

The 11.75% Notes contain similar provisions as the 10.875% Notes with respect to change of control and covenant requirements. Under the Indenture governing the 11.75% Notes (the “11.75% Indenture”), prior to November 15, 2010, the Issuers have the option to redeem some or all of the 11.75% Notes for cash at a redemption price equal to 100% of the then outstanding principal balance plus an applicable make-whole premium plus accrued and unpaid interest. Beginning on November 15, 2010, the Issuers may redeem some or all of the 11.75% Notes at a redemption price of 105.875% of the then outstanding principal balance plus accrued and unpaid interest on the 11.75% Notes. The redemption price decreases to 102.938% and 100% of the then outstanding principal balance at November 2011 and November 2012, respectively. Additionally, from time to time, before November 15, 2009, the Issuers may redeem up to 35% of the 11.75% Notes at a redemption price equal to 111.75% of the principal amount then outstanding, in each case, with proceeds we raise, or a direct or indirect parent company raises, in certain offerings of equity of DJOFL or its direct or indirect parent companies, as long as at least 65% of the aggregate principal amount of the notes issued remains outstanding.

 

Our ability to continue to meet the covenants related to our indebtedness specified above in future periods will depend, in part, on events beyond our control, and we may not continue to meet those ratios. A breach of any of these covenants in the future could result in a default under the Senior Secured Credit Facility, the 11.75% Indenture and the 10.875% Indenture (collectively, the “Indentures”), at which time the lenders could elect to declare all amounts outstanding under the Senior Secured Credit Facility to be immediately due and payable. Any such acceleration would also result in a default under the Indentures.

 

Debt Issue Costs

 

We incurred $30.7 million, $27.6 million, and $10.2 million of debt issue costs in connection with the Senior Secured Credit Facility, the 10.875% Notes, and the 11.75% Notes, respectively, including $3.1 million incurred in the three months ended April 3, 2010 in connection with the sale of the new 10.875% Notes . These costs have been capitalized and are included in other non-current assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets at April 3, 2010 and December 31, 2009. Debt issue costs are being amortized over the terms of the respective debt instruments through November 2014.

 

7. STOCK OPTION PLANS AND STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

 

2007 Stock Incentive Plan

 

We have one active equity compensation plan, the DJO Incorporated 2007 Incentive Stock Plan (the “2007 Plan”), under which we are authorized to grant options up to 7,500,000 shares, subject to adjustment in certain events. Options issued under the 2007 Plan can be either incentive stock options or non-qualified stock options. The exercise price of stock options granted will not be less than 100% of the fair market value of the underlying shares on the date of grant, and will expire no more than ten years from the date of grant. We adopted a form of non-statutory stock option agreement (the “DJO Form Option Agreement”) for employee stock option awards under the 2007 Plan. Under the DJO Form Option Agreement, one-third of stock options will vest over a specified

 

13



Table of Contents

 

period of time (typically five years) contingent solely upon the awardees’ continued employment with us (“Time-Based Tranche”). As initially adopted, another one-third of stock options will vest over a specified performance period (typically five years) from the date of grant upon the achievement of certain pre-determined performance targets based on Adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow on an annual basis (“Performance-Based Tranche”), as defined in the DJO Form Option Agreement. As amended in March 2009, the final one-third of stock options will vest based upon achieving a minimum internal rate of return (“IRR”) and a minimum return of money on of invested capital (“MOIC”), as defined in the DJO Form Option Agreement and is each measured with respect to Blackstone’s aggregate investment in our capital, to be achieved by Blackstone following a liquidation of all or a portion of its investment in our capital stock (“Enhanced Market-Return Tranche”).

 

During March 2010, the Compensation Committee approved further modifications to the terms of the outstanding options and the DJO Form Option Agreement. The Time-Based Tranche and Enhanced Market-Return Tranche terms remain the same as discussed above. The financial performance targets for the future years of the Performance-Based Tranche were replaced by targets with different financial metrics. These new targets are similar to the Enhanced Market-Return Tranche as they require achievement of a minimum IRR and MOIC, each measured with respect to Blackstone’s aggregate investment in our capital stock, to be achieved by Blackstone following a liquidation of all or a portion of its investment in our capital stock (referred to herein as the “Market-Return Tranche”). As a result of this modification, the Market-Return Tranche has both a performance component and a market condition component.

 

Options granted under the 2007 Plan contain change-in-control provisions that cause the vesting of the Time-Based Tranche upon the occurrence of a change-in-control. Specifically, the Time-Based Tranche will become immediately exercisable upon the occurrence of a change-in-control if the optionee remains in continuous employment of the Company until the consummation of the change-in-control. This provision does not operate to vest the Market-Return or the Enhanced Market-Return Tranches which require the achievement of the IRR and MOIC targets by Blackstone on its equity investment in us.

 

Employee Stock Options

 

During the three months ended April 3, 2010 we granted 194,050 stock options under the 2007 Plan to our executive officers, senior management, and certain other employees.

 

We recorded non-cash compensation expense of approximately $0.4 million and $0.5 million for the three months ended April 3, 2010 and March 28, 2009, respectively, associated with stock options issued under the 2007 Plan. We record compensation expense for awards with a service or market condition ratably over the service period.  We record compensation expense for awards with a performance condition only to the extent deemed probable of achievement.  We are required to reassess at each reporting period whether the achievement of any performance condition is probable, at which time we would recognize the related compensation expense over the remaining performance or service period, if any. To date, no amount has been recorded for the Market Return or the Enhanced Market-Return Tranches, as achievement of the performance component is not deemed probable at this time.

 

The fair value of each option is estimated on the date of grant, using the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model for service awards and a binomial model for market based awards. In estimating fair value for new options issued under the 2007 Plan, expected volatility was based completely on historical volatility of comparable publicly-traded companies. As our historical share option exercise experience does not provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate the expected term, we used the simplified approach to calculate the expected term. Expected life is calculated in two tranches based on the employment level defined as executive or employee. The risk-free rate used in calculating fair value of service and performance-based stock options for periods within the expected term of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield bond curve in effect at the time of grant. As a result of the 2009 modification, we will no longer use the original grant date fair value to measure compensation cost and have re-assessed the assumptions used to determine the fair value of options at the date of modification and at subsequent grant dates.

 

The assumptions used to calculate the fair value of options granted are evaluated and revised, as necessary, to reflect market conditions and experience. The following table presents the assumptions we used in calculating the fair value of employee stock options for the three months ended April 3, 2010 and March 28, 2009:

Non-Employee Stock Options

 

During the three months ended April 3, 2010 we did not grant any additional stock options under the 2007 Plan to non-employees (“non-employee options”). The non-statutory stock option agreement for the non-employees states that the options have an exercise price of $16.46 per share, which was equal to 100% of the estimated fair market value of the stock and will become effective upon the defined effective date and expire ten years from that date. A number of shares equal to 25% of the options granted become vested and exercisable at the end of each of the first four years subsequent to the effective date, provided the optionee is still affiliated with and providing services to the Company. The non-employee option agreement does not include any performance requirements on the optionee’s part in order to vest in the options granted.  Non-employee options are accounted for in accordance with ASC Topic 505 (formerly Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 96-18, “Accounting for Equity Instruments That are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling Goods or Services”) which states that the fair value of each option will be re-measured at the end of each reporting period until vested, when the final fair value of the vesting of the option is determined. We recorded non-cash compensation expense of approximately $0.1 million for each of the three months ended April 3, 2010 and March 28, 2009.

 

8. SEGMENT AND GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION

 

We provide a broad array of orthopedic rehabilitation and regeneration products, as well as implants to customers in the United States and abroad.  We currently develop, manufacture and distribute our products through the following three operating segments.

 

Domestic Rehabilitation Segment

 

Our Domestic Rehabilitation Segment, which generates its revenues in the United States, is divided into five main businesses:

 

·                  Bracing and Supports.  Our Bracing and Supports business unit offers our DonJoy, ProCare and Aircast products, including rigid knee bracing, orthopedic soft goods, cold therapy products, and vascular systems.  This business unit also includes our OfficeCare business, through which we maintain an inventory of soft goods and other products at healthcare facilities, primarily orthopedic practices, for immediate distribution to patients.

 

·                  Empi.  Our Empi business unit offers our home electrotherapy, iontophoresis, and home traction products.

The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as the accounting policies of the Company. We allocate resources and evaluate the performance of segments based on net sales, gross profit, operating income and other non-GAAP measures as defined. Moreover, we do not allocate assets to reportable segments because a significant portion of assets are shared by the segments.

9. INCOME TAXES

 

Income taxes for the interim periods presented have been included in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements on the basis of an estimated annual effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete items. The tax expense for these periods differed from the amount which would have been recorded using the U.S. statutory tax rate due primarily to the impact of nondeductible expenses, foreign taxes, and deferred taxes on the assumed repatriation of foreign earnings. Because our current annual financial projection results in a marginal net pre-tax loss, the impact of the nondeductible expenses, foreign taxes, and deferred taxes on the assumed repatriation of foreign earnings causes our projected annualized effective tax rate to be negative.  Given the relationship between fixed dollar tax items and pre-tax financial results, the projected effective tax rate can change materially based on small variations of income.

 

For the three months ended April 3, 2010, we recorded income tax expense of approximately $9.8 million on a pre-tax loss of approximately $23.6 million, resulting in a negative 41.5% effective tax rate.  For the three months ended March 28, 2009, we recorded an income tax benefit of approximately $11.9 million on a pre-tax loss of approximately $26.5 million, resulting in a 44.9% effective tax rate. The difference in the tax benefit and tax expense recorded during the first quarter of 2009 and the first quarter of 2010 is primarily due to differences in the projected annualized effective tax rates for each year as determined by the Company.  In addition, a beneficial impact of a tax law change was recorded during the first quarter of 2009 as a discrete item.

We and our subsidiaries file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, various states and foreign jurisdictions. With few exceptions, we are no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local, or non-U.S. income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2005. The Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) is currently examining the 2005 and 2006 tax years. It is anticipated that the examination will be completed during 2010. At December 31, 2009, our gross unrecognized tax benefits were $19.1 million. For the three months ended April 3, 2010, we did not have any material increases in unrecognized tax benefits. Our total gross unrecognized tax benefits were $19.1 million at April 3, 2010, including $1.6 million related to interest and penalties.  There is a reasonable possibility that the closing of the IRS examination could result in a material reduction to our unrecognized tax benefits within the next twelve months. Due to the fact that the audit has not been finalized, the amount of the unrecognized tax benefits that may be reduced can not be reasonably estimated. Due to our adoption of ASC Topic 805 (formerly SFAS No. 141R, “Business Combinations”) on January 1, 2009, all unrecognized tax benefits will impact our effective tax rate upon recognition. We believe that it is reasonably possible that an increase of $0.2 million in unrecognized tax benefits related to various immaterial state exposures may be necessary within the next twelve months.

 

10. RESTRUCTURING AND RELATED CHARGES

 

In June 2009, we announced our plans to close our Chattanooga manufacturing and distribution facility, located in Hixson, Tennessee, and to integrate the operations of the Chattanooga site into our other existing sites. The transition of our Chattanooga activities is expected to take approximately nine to 12 months to complete. We do not expect to incur additional material cash expenses as a result of the transition.

11. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

The manufacture and sale of orthopedic devices and related products exposes us to a significant risk of product liability claims. From time to time, we have been, and we are currently, subject to a number of product liability claims alleging that the use of our products resulted in adverse effects. Even if we are successful in defending against any liability claims, such claims could nevertheless distract our management, result in substantial costs, harm our reputation, adversely affect the sales of all our products and otherwise harm our business. If there is a significant increase in the number of product liability claims, our business could be adversely affected.

 

We are currently defendants in approximately 80 product liability cases, including a lawsuit in Canada seeking class action status, related to a disposable drug infusion pump product manufactured by two third party manufacturers that we distributed through our Bracing and Supports business unit of our Domestic Rehabilitation segment. We discontinued our sale of these products in the second quarter of 2009. These cases have been brought against the manufacturers and certain distributors of these pumps, and in some cases, the manufacturers of the anesthetics used in these pumps. All of these lawsuits allege that the use of these pumps with certain anesthetics in certain shoulder surgeries over prolonged periods have resulted in cartilage damage to the plaintiffs. We have sought indemnity and tendered the defense of these cases to the two manufacturers who supplied these pumps to us, to their products liability carriers and to our products liability carriers. The products liability carriers for both manufacturers have accepted coverage for our defense of these claims; however, both manufacturers have rejected our tenders of indemnity. The base policy for one of the manufacturers has been exhausted and the excess liability carriers for that manufacturer are not obligated to provide a defense until a

$5 million self-insured retention has been paid. Our products liability carrier has accepted coverage of these cases, subject to a reservation of the right to deny coverage for customary matters, including punitive damages and off-label promotion. The lawsuits allege damages ranging from unspecified amounts to claims between $1.0 million and $10.0 million. These cases are in varying stages from initial pleading and discovery to pre-trial preparation. We could be exposed to material liabilities if our insurance coverage is not available or inadequate and the resources of the two manufacturers, including their respective products liability insurance policies, are unavailable or insufficient to pay the defense costs and settlements or judgments in these cases.

 

We maintain products liability insurance that is subject to annual renewal. Our current policy covers claims reported between July 1, 2009 and June 30, 2010 and provides for coverage (together with excess policies) of up to a limit of $80 million, provided that the top layer of $25 million excess over $55 million covers only claims reported after February 25, 2010 and the next layer down of $10 million excess over $45 million covers only claims reported after February 18, 2010. This coverage is subject to a self-insured retention of $500,000 for claims related to pain pumps described above and claims related to the IceMan cold therapy product, a self-insured retention of $250,000 on claims related to all other invasive products and a self-insured retention of $50,000 on claims related to all other non-invasive products, with an aggregate self-insured retention of $1.0 million for all products liability claims. In addition, the top layer of $25 million excess over $55 million has a separate self-insured retention of $50,000 per claim.  Our prior two products liability policies cover claims reported between July 1, 2007 and February 15, 2008 and between February 15, 2008 and July 1, 2009, respectively.  The 2007-2008 policy provides for coverage (together with excess policies) of up to a limit of $20 million and the 2008-2009 policy provides for coverage (together with excess policies) of up to a limit of $25 million.  Certain of the pain pump cases described above were reported under and are covered by these two policies.  If a products liability claim or series of claims is brought against us for uninsured liabilities or in excess of our insurance coverage, our business could suffer materially. In addition, in certain instances, a products liability claim could also result in our having to recall some of our products, which could result in significant costs to us. On our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of April 3, 2010 and December 31, 2009, we have accrued approximately $1.1 million and $2.0 million, respectively, for expenses related to products liability claims.  The amount accrued is based upon previous claim experience in part due to the fact that in 2003 we exceeded the coverage limits in effect at that time for certain historical product liability claims involving one of our discontinued surgical implant products and such products are excluded from coverage under our current policies.

 

Due to the nature of our business, we are subject to a variety of audits by government agencies and other private interests.  In the third quarter of 2009, we received a Form FDA-483 “Inspectional Observations” in connection with an FDA audit of our Surgical Implant Segment, stating that: (1) we failed to follow our standard operating procedures to ensure that the designs of certain products were correctly transferred into production; (2) we failed to adequately analyze certain quality data to identify existing and potential causes of nonconforming product and quality problems, resulting in disposal or reworking of certain nonconforming parts in the later stages of our production processes; (3) our complaint handling procedures were not well defined to ensure that all complaints are processed in a uniform and timely manner; and (4) we failed to follow our standard operating procedures related to procurement to minimize receipt of nonconforming materials from suppliers. We promptly implemented corrective action that we believe adequately address each Inspectional Observation and submitted a timely response to the FDA. We cannot assure you that the FDA will agree with our actions or will not take further action in the future, including issuing a warning letter related to these observations, seeking injunction, initiating seizure, or delaying review of pending applications.

 

On April 15, 2009, we became aware of a qui tam action filed in Federal Court in Boston, Massachusetts in March 2005 and amended in December 2007 that names us as a defendant along with each of the other companies that manufactures and sells external bone growth stimulators, as well as our principal stockholder, The Blackstone Group, and the principal stockholder of one of the other companies in the bone growth stimulation business. This case is captioned United States ex rel. Beirman v. Orthofix International, N.V., et al., Civil Action No. 05-10557 (D. Mass.). The case was sealed when originally filed and unsealed in March 2009. The plaintiff, or relator, alleges that the defendants have engaged in Medicare fraud and violated Federal and state false claims acts from the time of the original introduction of the devices by each defendant to the present by seeking reimbursement for bone growth stimulators as a purchased item rather than a rental item. The relator also alleges that the defendants are engaged in other marketing practices constituting violations of the Federal and various state anti-kickback statutes. On December 4, 2009, we filed a motion to dismiss the relator’s complaint, and we are currently awaiting a response from the relator. Shortly before becoming aware of the qui tam action, we were advised that our bone growth stimulator business was the subject of an investigation by the Department of Justice (“DOJ”), and on April 10, 2009, we were served with a subpoena under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (“HIPAA”) seeking numerous documents relating to the marketing and sale by us of bone growth stimulators. On September 21, 2009, we were served with a second HIPAA subpoena related to this DOJ investigation seeking additional documents relating to the marketing and sale by us of bone growth stimulators. We believe that these subpoenas are related to the DOJ’s investigation of the allegations in the qui tam action, although the DOJ has decided not to intervene in the qui tam action at this time. We believe that our marketing practices in the bone growth stimulation business are in compliance with applicable legal standards and we intend to defend this case and investigation vigorously. We can make no assurance as to the resources that will be needed to respond to these matters or the final outcome of such action.

12. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

Blackstone Management Partners V L.L.C. (“BMP”), an affiliate of our major shareholder, provides certain monitoring, advisory and consulting services to us for an annual monitoring fee equal to the greater of $7.0 million or 2% of consolidated EBITDA as defined in the Transaction and Monitoring Fee Agreement, payable in the first quarter of each year. At any time in connection with or in anticipation of a change of control of DJOFL, a sale of all or substantially all of DJOFL’s assets or an initial public offering of common stock of DJOFL, BMP may elect to receive, in lieu of remaining annual monitoring fee payments, a single lump sum cash payment equal to the then-present value of all then-current and future annual monitoring fees payable under the transaction and monitoring fee agreement, assuming a hypothetical termination date of the agreement to be the twelfth anniversary of such election. The monitoring fee agreement will continue until the earlier of the twelfth anniversary of the date of the agreement or such date as DJOFL and BMP may mutually determine. DJOFL will agree to indemnify BMP and its affiliates, directors, officers, employees, agents and representatives from and against all liabilities relating to the services contemplated by the transaction and monitoring fee agreement and the engagement of BMP pursuant to, and the performance of BMP and its affiliates of the services contemplated by, the transaction and monitoring fee agreement. For each of the three month periods ended April 3, 2010 and March 28, 2009, we recognized $1.75 million related to the monitoring fee, which is recorded as a component of selling, general and administrative expense in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.

 

13. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

 

We operate internationally and are therefore exposed to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations in the normal course of our business, in particular to changes in the Mexican Peso due to our Mexico-based manufacturing operations that incur costs that are largely denominated in Mexican Pesos. As part of our risk management strategy, we use derivative instruments to hedge portions of our exposure. While our foreign exchange contracts act as economic hedges, we have not designated such instruments as hedges under ASC Topic 815.  Before acquiring a derivative instrument to hedge a specific risk, potential natural hedges are evaluated. Derivative instruments are only utilized to manage underlying exposures that arise from our business operations. Factors considered in the decision to hedge an underlying market exposure include the materiality of the risk, the volatility of the market, the duration of the hedge, and the availability, effectiveness and cost of derivative instruments.  At April 3, 2010, we had foreign exchange forward contracts, with a notional amount of $188.9 million Mexican Pesos, or approximately $14.1 million and an aggregate fair market value of approximately $1.1 million. These foreign exchange forward contracts expire weekly throughout the fiscal year 2010.

 

Additionally, we make use of debt financing as a source of funds and are therefore exposed to interest rate fluctuations in the normal course of business. Our credit facilities are subject to floating interest rates. We manage the risk of unfavorable movements in interest rates by hedging a portion of the outstanding loan balance, thereby locking in a fixed rate on a portion of the principal, reducing the effect of possible rising interest rates and making interest expense more predictable. On November 20, 2007, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement related to the Senior Secured Credit Facility for a notional amount of $515.0 million at a fixed LIBOR rate of 4.205% which expired on December 31, 2009.  In February 2009, we entered into two new non-amortizing interest rate swap agreements.  The first agreement was for a notional amount of $550.0 million at a fixed LIBOR rate of 1.04% beginning in February 2009 which expired on December 31, 2009.  The second agreement is for a notional amount of $750.0 million at a fixed LIBOR rate of 1.88% with a term beginning January 2010 through December 2010.  In August 2009, we entered into four new non-amortizing interest swap agreements with notional amounts aggregating $300.0 million. Each of the four agreements has a term beginning January 2011 through December 2011. The four agreements are at a weighted average fixed LIBOR rate of 2.5825%.  We have designated these interest rate swap agreements as cash flow hedges under ASC Topic 815.

 

In accordance with ASC Topic 820, we follow the three levels of the fair value hierarchy for disclosure of the inputs to valuation. This hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three broad levels as follows. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs are quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly through market corroboration, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs based on our own assumptions used to measure assets and liabilities at fair value. A financial asset or liability’s classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. At April 3, 2010, the fair value of our interest rate swap agreements and our foreign currency exchange forward contracts were determined through the use of models that consider various assumptions, including time value, yield curves, as well as other relevant economic measures, which are inputs that are classified as Level 2 in the valuation hierarchy.

14. SUPPLEMENTAL GUARANTOR CONDENSED CONSOLIDATING FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

DJOFL and its direct wholly-owned subsidiary, Finco, issued the 10.875% Notes with aggregate principal amounts of $575.0 million and $100.0 million on November 20, 2007 and January 20, 2010, respectively. On November 3, 2006, DJOFL and Finco issued the 11.75% Notes with an aggregate principal amount of $200.0 million. Finco was formed solely to act as a co-issuer of the notes, has only nominal assets and does not conduct any operations. The Indentures generally prohibit Finco from holding any assets, becoming liable for any obligations, or engaging in any business activity. The 10.875% Notes are jointly and severally, fully and unconditionally guaranteed, on an unsecured senior basis by all of the DJOFL’s domestic subsidiaries (other than the co-issuer) that are 100% owned, directly or indirectly, by DJOFL (the “Guarantors”). The 11.75% Notes are jointly and severally, fully and unconditionally guaranteed, on an unsecured senior subordinated basis by the Guarantors. Our foreign subsidiaries (the “Non-Guarantors”) do not guarantee the notes. The Guarantors also unconditionally guarantee the Senior Secured Credit Facility.

 

The following tables present the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of DJOFL, the Guarantors, the Non-Guarantors and certain eliminations as of April 3, 2010 and December 31, 2009 and for the three months ended April 3, 2010 and March 28, 2009, respectively.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

Forward Looking Statements

 

The following management’s discussion and analysis contains “forward looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, that represent our expectations or beliefs concerning future events, including, but not limited to, statements regarding growth in sales of our products, profit margins and the sufficiency of our cash flow for future liquidity and capital resource needs. These forward-looking statements are further qualified by important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. These factors are described under the heading “Risk Factors” below. The section entitled “Risk Factors” contained in Part II, Item 1A of this report, and similar discussions in our other SEC filings including our 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Commission on March 5, 2010, describe some important risk factors that may affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, and/or liquidity. Results actually achieved may differ materially from expected results included in these statements as a result of these or other factors.

 

Introduction

 

This management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is intended to provide an understanding of our results of operations, financial condition and where appropriate, factors that may affect future performance.

 

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes to those financial statements as well as the other financial data included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.

 

Overview of Business

 

We are a leading global provider of high-quality orthopedic devices, with a broad range of products used for rehabilitation, pain management and physical therapy. We also develop, manufacture and distribute a broad range of surgical reconstructive implant products. We are one of the largest non-surgical orthopedic rehabilitation device companies in the world, as measured by revenues. Many of our products have leading market positions. We believe that our strong brand names, comprehensive range of products, focus on quality, innovation and customer service, extensive distribution network, and our strong relationships with orthopedic and physical therapy professionals have contributed to our leading market positions. We believe that we are one of only a few orthopedic device companies that offer healthcare professionals and patients a diverse range of orthopedic rehabilitation products addressing the complete spectrum of preventative, pre-operative, post-operative, clinical and home rehabilitation care. Our products are used by orthopedic specialists, primary care physicians, pain management specialists, physical therapists, podiatrists, chiropractors, athletic trainers and other healthcare professionals to treat patients with musculoskeletal conditions resulting from degenerative diseases, deformities, traumatic events and sports-related injuries. In addition, many of our non-surgical medical devices and related accessories are used by athletes and patients for injury prevention and at-home physical therapy treatment

 

On June 12, 2009 we sold our ETS catalog business to Patterson Medical Supply, Inc. for approximately $21.8 million. As such, results of the ETS business for periods prior to the date of sale have been presented as discontinued operations.

 

We provide a broad array of orthopedic rehabilitation and regeneration products, as well as implants to customers in the United States and abroad. We currently develop, manufacture and distribute our products through the following three operating segments:

 

Domestic Rehabilitation Segment

 

Our Domestic Rehabilitation Segment, which generates its revenues in the United States, is divided into five main businesses:

 

·                  Bracing and Supports.  Our Bracing and Supports business unit offers our DonJoy, ProCare and Aircast products, including rigid knee bracing, orthopedic soft goods, cold therapy products, and vascular systems.  This business unit also includes our OfficeCare business, through which we maintain an inventory of soft goods and other products at healthcare facilities, primarily orthopedic practices, for immediate distribution to patients.

 

·                  Empi.  Our Empi business unit offers our home electrotherapy, iontophoresis, and home traction products. We primarily sell these products directly to patients or to physical therapy clinics. For products sold to patients, we arrange billing to the patients and their third party payors.

Three Months Ended April 3, 2010 compared to Three Months Ended March 28, 2009

 

Net Sales.  Our net sales for the three months ended April 3, 2010 were $240.1 million, representing an increase of 10.3% from net sales of $217.7 million for the three months ended March 28, 2009.  This increase was driven by increased sales across all business units as well as $4.2 million of favorable changes in foreign exchange rates compared to rates in effect for the three months ended March 28, 2009.  Net sales for the three months ended April 3, 2010 were also favorably impacted by $14.8 million due to four additional shipping days compared to the three months ended March 28, 2009. In addition, first quarter 2010 revenue growth was impacted by the discontinuation of certain unprofitable product lines in our Chattanooga and Bracing and Supports businesses in 2009 and the sale of a small, non-core spine product line in 2009 by DJO surgical. The discontinued/sold product lines generated revenue of $2.5 million in the first quarter of 2009.

 

For the three months ended April 3, 2010, we generated 26.6% of our net sales from customers outside the United States as compared to 25.4% for the three months ended March 28, 2009. Additionally, sales of new products, which include products that have been on the market less than one year, were $8.8 million for the three months ended April 3, 2010 compared to new product sales of $15.2 million for the three months ended March 28, 2009.

Net sales in our Domestic Rehabilitation Segment were $159.2 million for the three months ended April 3, 2010, reflecting an increase of 8.2% from net sales of $147.2 million for the three months ended March 28, 2009. The increase was driven by increased sales across business units, including $9.8 million in sales due to the benefit of four additional selling days in the three months ended April 3, 2010 as compared to the three months ended March 28, 2009.

Net sales in our International Segment for the three months ended April 3, 2010 were $63.9 million, reflecting an increase of 15.9% from net sales of $55.1 million for the three months ended March 28, 2009. The increase was driven primarily by increased sales across all business units, $4.2 million of favorable changes in foreign exchange rates compared to rates in effect for the three months ended March 28, 2009, and $3.9 million in sales due to the benefit of four additional selling days in the three months ended April 3, 2010 as compared to the three months ended March 28, 2009.

 

Net sales in our Domestic Surgical Implant Segment increased to $17.0 million for the three months ended April 3, 2010 from $15.3 million for the three months ended March 28, 2009, representing a 10.8% increase over the same period in the prior year. The increase was driven primarily by $1.1 million in sales due to the benefit of four additional selling days in the three months ended April 3, 2010 as compared to the three months ended March 28, 2009, as well as an increase in sales of our shoulder products.

 

Gross Profit.  Consolidated gross profit as a percentage of net sales was 63.6%, for the three months ended April 3, 2010 compared to 63.7% for the three months ended March 28, 2009. Our gross profit margin for the three months ended April 3, 2010 is essentially in line with the prior year period as the impact of a less favorable mix of products sold was offset by $3.2 million of favorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

 

Gross profit in our Domestic Rehabilitation Segment as a percentage of net sales was 65.3% for each of the three months ended April 3, 2010 and March 28, 2009.

 

Gross profit in our International Segment as a percentage of net sales increased to 59.1% for the three months ended April 3, 2010 from 57.1% for the three months ended March 28, 2009.  The increase was primarily driven by favorable changes in foreign exchange rates of approximately $3.2 million and the impact of a more favorable mix of products sold.

 

Gross profit in our Domestic Surgical Implant Segment as a percentage of gross sales increased to 79.4% for the three months ended April 3, 2010 from 77.8% for the three months ended March 28, 2009. The increase was primarily driven by a higher margin mix of products sold.

 

Selling, General and Administrative.  Our selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $110.5 million for the three months ended April 3, 2010 from $100.6 million for the three months ended March 28, 2009 primarily due to higher non-recurring costs associated with our integration activities. The following table sets forth certain non-recurring costs associated with our integration activities and the implementation of our new global ERP system:

Employee severance and relocation for the three months ended April 3, 2010 included $0.8 million of severance payments made to employees in connection with our Chattanooga integration, and $0.6 million of severance related to other restructuring activities. Employee severance and relocation expenses for the three months ended March 28, 2009 included $0.3 million of severance payments made to employees in connection with restructuring at our international locations and $0.4 million of severance payments made to employees in connection with integration activities following the November 2007 ReAble Therapeutics, Inc. acquisition of DJO Opco Holdings, Inc. (“DJO Merger”). Integration expense for the three months ended April 3, 2010 included $5.2 million, $1.9 million, and $1.2 million of integration costs incurred in connection with our Chattanooga integration, our recent sales reorganization, and other acquisitions, respectively.  Integration expense for the three months ended March 28, 2009 included $3.9 million and $4.9 million of integration costs incurred in connection with restructuring at our international locations, and domestic locations, respectively, partially offset by a $6.0 million reversal of an accrual made in 2008 for alleged reimbursement claims due to the favorable settlement of the dispute.

 

Research and Development.  Our research and development expense decreased to $5.6 million for the three months ended April 3, 2010 from $5.8 million for the three months ended March 28, 2009. As a percentage of net sales, research and development expense decreased slightly to 2.3% for the three months ended April 3, 2010 from 2.7% in the three months ended March 28, 2009, primarily reflecting cost savings initiatives.

Amortization of Acquired Intangibles.  Amortization of acquired intangibles includes amortization expense related to intangible assets acquired in connection with our acquisitions. The intangible assets are being amortized over the estimated lives ranging from two to 20 years. Our amortization of acquired intangibles was $19.1 million for each of the three months ended April 3, 2010 and March 28, 2009. At April 3, 2010, we expect the future amortization of intangibles to be approximately $57.7 million for the remainder of 2010, $75.7 million in 2011, $74.4 million in 2012, $69.2 million in 2013, $67.4 million in 2014, and $392.2 for the periods thereafter.

 

Interest Expense.  Our interest expense increased to $40.7 million for the three months ended April 3, 2010 from $38.6 million for the three months ended March 28, 2009.  The increase is primarily due to additional debt issuance costs incurred in the first quarter of 2010 related to our issuance of $100 million aggregate principal amount of new 10.875% Senior Notes, pursuant to the indenture dated as of November 20, 2007 among DJO and DJO Finance Corporation, the guarantors party thereto and the Bank of New York Mellon (formerly known as the Bank of New York), as trustee, that also governs our existing 10.875% Notes due 2014 that were issued on November 20, 2007, which are amortized through interest expense.

 

Other Income (Expense).  Net other expense decreased to $0.8 million for the three months ended April 3, 2010 from $1.4 million of net other expense for the three months ended March 28, 2009.  Both amounts primarily reflect net foreign currency transaction losses.

 

Provision (Benefit) for Income Taxes.  For the three months ended April 3, 2010, we recorded an income tax provision of $9.8 million on a pre-tax loss of $23.6 million, resulting in a negative 41.5% effective tax rate.  For the three months ended March 28, 2009, we recorded $11.9 million of income tax benefit on a pre-tax loss of $26.5 million, resulting in a 44.9% effective tax rate.  The difference in the tax benefit and tax expense recorded during the first quarter of 2009 and the first quarter of 2010 is primarily due to differences in the expected annualized effective tax rates for each year as determined by the Company.  In addition, a beneficial impact of a tax law change was recorded during the first quarter of 2009 as a discrete item.  Because our current annual financial projection results in a marginal net pre-tax loss, the impact of the nondeductible expenses, foreign taxes, and deferred taxes on the assumed repatriation of foreign earnings causes our projected annualized effective tax rate to be negative. Given the relationship between fixed dollar tax items and pre-tax financial results, the projected effective tax rate can change materially based on small variations of income.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of April 3, 2010, our primary source of liquidity consisted of cash and cash equivalents totaling $54.0 million and $100.0 million of available borrowings under our revolving credit facility, described below. Working capital at April 3, 2010 was $184.5 million. We believe that our existing cash, plus the amounts we expect to generate from operations and amounts available through our revolving credit facility, will be sufficient to meet our operating needs for the next twelve months, including working capital requirements, capital expenditures, and debt and interest repayment obligations. While we currently believe that we will be able to meet all of our financial covenants imposed by our Senior Secured Credit Facility, there is no assurance that we will in fact be able to do so or that, if we do not, we will be able to obtain from our lenders waivers of default or amendments to the Senior Secured Credit Facility in the future. We and our subsidiaries, affiliates or significant shareholders (including Blackstone and its affiliates) may from time to time, in our or their sole discretion, purchase, repay, redeem or retire any of our outstanding debt or equity securities (including any publicly issued debt securities), in privately negotiated or open market transactions, by tender offer or otherwise.

 

A summary of the changes in our cash and cash equivalents for the three months ended April 3, 2010 and March 28, 2009 is as follows:

Investing activities used $5.4 million and $11.9 million of cash for the three months ended April 3, 2010 and March 28, 2009, respectively. Cash used in investing activities for the three months ended April 3, 2010 primarily consisted of $4.1 million of purchases of property and equipment, which was mostly related to our new ERP system and a $0.8 million payment related to an earn out provision associated with our 2009 Australia acquisition. Cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 28, 2009 primarily consisted of purchases of property and equipment totaling $8.2 million, including $1.2 million for our new ERP system and the acquisition of businesses for a total of $3.9 million, net of cash acquired.

 

Financing activities used $4.9 million and $4.1 million of cash in the three months ended April 3, 2010 and March 28, 2009, respectively.  Cash used in financing activities for the three months ended April 3, 2010 was primarily related to long-term debt payments of $106.4 million and the payment of $3.1 million in debt issuance costs incurred in connection with the issuance of our new 10.875% Senior Notes partially offset by proceeds of $105.1 million from the new Senior Notes. Cash used in financing activities for the three months ended March 28, 2009 represented net payments on long-term debt and revolving lines of credit.

 

For the remainder of 2010, we expect to spend total cash of approximately $162.7 million for the following:

 

· approximately $39.3 million for scheduled principal and estimated interest payments on our senior secured credit facility;

 

· approximately $96.9 million for scheduled interest payments on our senior notes; and

 

· approximately $26.5 million for capital expenditures, including $5.3 million for our ERP system.

 

In addition, we expect to spend up to an additional $6.6 million implementing our new ERP system capital project over the remainder of the project, which will be recorded as expense.

 

Indebtedness

 

As of April 3, 2010, we had approximately $1,812.8 million in aggregate indebtedness outstanding.

 

Senior Secured Credit Facility

 

Overview.  The Senior Secured Credit Facility provides senior secured financing of $1,165.0 million, consisting of a $1,065.0 million term loan facility and a $100.0 million revolving credit facility. We issued the term loan facility at a 1.2% discount, resulting in net proceeds of $1,052.4 million. In addition, we are permitted, subject to receipt of additional commitments from participating lenders and certain other conditions, to incur up to an additional $150.0 million of borrowings under the Senior Secured Credit Facility.

 

Interest Rate and Fees.  Borrowings under the Senior Secured Credit Facility bear interest at a rate equal to an applicable margin plus, at our option, either (a) a base rate determined by reference to the higher of (1) the prime rate of Credit Suisse and (2) the federal funds rate plus 0.50% or (b) the Eurodollar rate determined by reference to the costs of funds for deposits in U.S. dollars for the interest period relevant to each borrowing adjusted for required reserves. The initial applicable margins for borrowings under the term loan facility and the revolving credit facility is 2.00% with respect to base rate borrowings and 3.00% with respect to Eurodollar borrowings. The applicable margin for borrowings under the term loan facility and the revolving credit facility may be reduced subject to us attaining certain leverage ratios.

 

We use interest rate swap agreements in an effort to hedge our exposure to fluctuating interest rates related to a portion of our Senior Secured Credit Facility (See Note 6).  On November 20, 2007, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement for a notional amount of $515.0 million at a fixed LIBOR rate of 4.205% which expired on December 31, 2009.  In February 2009, we entered into two additional non-amortizing interest rate swap agreements. The first was for a notional amount of $550.0 million at a fixed LIBOR rate of 1.04% beginning in February 2009 which expired on December 31, 2009. The second is for a notional amount of $750.0 million at a fixed LIBOR rate of 1.88% beginning January 2010 through December 2010.  In August 2009, we entered into four new non-amortizing interest swap agreements with notional amounts aggregating $300.0 million. Each of the four agreements has a term beginning January 2011 through December 2011. The four agreements are at a weighted average fixed LIBOR rate of 2.5825%.  As of April 3, 2010, our weighted average interest rate for all borrowings under the Senior Secured Credit Facility was 4.55%.

 

In addition to paying interest on outstanding principal under the Senior Secured Credit Facility, we are required to pay a commitment fee to the lenders under the revolving credit facility in respect of the unutilized commitments thereunder. The initial commitment fee rate is 0.50% per annum. The commitment fee rate may be reduced subject to us attaining certain leverage ratios. We must also pay customary letter of credit fees.

Table of Contents

 

Amortization.  We are required to pay annual amortization (payable in equal quarterly installments) on the loans under the term loan facility in an amount equal to 1.00% of the funded total principal amount through February 2014 with the remaining amount payable in May 2014. Principal amounts outstanding under the revolving credit facility are due and payable in full at maturity, which is six years from the date of the closing of the Senior Secured Credit Facility.

 

Certain Covenants and Events of Default.  The Senior Secured Credit Facility contains a number of covenants that, among other things, restrict, subject to certain exceptions, our and our subsidiaries’ ability to:

 

·                  incur additional indebtedness;

 

·                  create liens on assets;

 

·                  change fiscal years;

 

·                  enter into sale and leaseback transactions;

 

·                  engage in mergers or consolidations;

 

·                  sell assets;

 

·                  pay dividends and make other restricted payments;

 

·                  make investments, loans or advances;

 

·                  repay subordinated indebtedness;

 

·                  make certain acquisitions;

 

·                  engage in certain transactions with affiliates;

 

·                  restrict the ability of restricted subsidiaries that are not Guarantors to pay dividends or make distributions;

 

·                  amend material agreements governing our subordinated indebtedness; and

 

·                  change our lines of business.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the credit agreement relating to the Senior Secured Credit Facility, we are required to maintain a maximum senior secured leverage ratio consolidated senior debt to Adjusted EBITDA, of 4.15:1 as of the 12 months ended April, 3, 2010, stepping down over time to 3.25:1 by the end of 2011. Adjusted EBITDA represents net income (loss) plus interest expense, net, provision (benefit) for income taxes and depreciation and amortization, further adjusted for non-cash items, non-recurring items and other adjustment items permitted in calculating covenant compliance under our Senior Secured Credit Facility and the Indentures (“Adjusted EBITDA”). As of April 3, 2010 our actual senior leverage ratio was within the required ratio at 3.31:1.

 

10.875% Senior Notes and 11.75% Senior Subordinated Notes

 

The Indentures governing the $675.0 million principal amount of 10.875% Notes and the $200.0 million principal amount of 11.75% Notes limit our (and most or all of our subsidiaries’) ability to:

 

·                  incur additional debt or issue certain preferred shares;

 

·                  pay dividends on or make other distributions in respect of our capital stock or make other restricted payments;

 

·                  make certain investments;

 

·                  sell certain assets;

 

·                  create liens on certain assets to secure debt;

 

32



Table of Contents

 

·                  consolidate, merge, sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of our assets;

 

·                  enter into certain transactions with our affiliates; and

 

·                  designate our subsidiaries as unrestricted subsidiaries.

 

Under the Indentures governing our 10.875% Notes and our 11.75% Notes, our ability to incur additional debt, subject to specified exceptions, is tied to improving our Adjusted EBITDA to fixed charges ratio or having a ratio of at least 2.00:1 on a pro forma basis after giving effect to such incurrence. Additionally, our ability to make certain restricted payments is also tied to having an Adjusted EBITDA to fixed charge ratio of at least 2.00:1 on a pro forma basis. Our ratio of Adjusted EBITDA to fixed charges for the twelve months ended April 3, 2010, measured on that date, was 1.85:1. Notwithstanding these limitations, the aggregate amount of term loan increases and revolving commitment increases shall not exceed the greater of (i) $150.0 million and (ii) the additional aggregate amount of secured indebtedness which would be permitted to be incurred as of any date of determination (assuming for this purpose that the full amount of any revolving credit increase had been utilized as of such date) such that, after giving pro forma effect to such incurrence (and any other transactions consummated on such date), the senior secured leverage ratio for the immediately preceding test period would not be greater than 4.00:1. Fixed charges is defined in the Indentures as consolidated interest expense plus all cash dividends or other distributions paid on any series of preferred stock of any restricted subsidiary and all dividends or other distributions accrued on any series of disqualified stock.

As described above, our Senior Secured Credit Facility consisting of a $1,065.0 million term loan facility and a $100.0 million revolving credit facility and the Indentures governing the $675.0 million of senior notes and the $200.0 million of senior subordinated notes represent significant components of our capital structure. Under our Senior Secured Credit Facility, we are required to maintain specified senior secured leverage ratios, which become more restrictive over time, and which are determined based on our Adjusted EBITDA. If we fail to comply with the senior secured leverage ratio under our Senior Secured Credit Facility, we would be in default under the credit facility. Upon the occurrence of an event of default under the Senior Secured Credit Facility, the lenders could elect to declare all amounts outstanding under the Senior Secured Credit Facility to be immediately due and payable and terminate all commitments to extend further credit. If we were unable to repay those amounts, the lenders under the Senior Secured Credit Facility could proceed against the collateral granted to them to secure that indebtedness. We have pledged a significant portion of our assets as collateral under the Senior Secured Credit Facility. Any acceleration under the Senior Secured Credit Facility would also result in a default under the Indentures governing the notes, which could lead to the noteholders electing to declare the principal, premium, if any, and interest on the then outstanding notes immediately due and payable. In addition, under the Indentures governing the notes, our ability to engage in activities such as incurring additional indebtedness, making investments, refinancing subordinated indebtedness, paying dividends and entering into certain merger transactions is governed, in part, by our ability to satisfy tests based on Adjusted EBITDA.

 

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) attributable to DJO Finance LLC, plus loss from discontinued operations,  interest expense, net, provision (benefit) for income taxes and depreciation and amortization, further adjusted for non-cash items, non-recurring items and other adjustment items permitted in calculating covenant compliance under our Senior Secured Credit Facility and Indentures. We believe that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA is appropriate to provide additional information to investors about the calculation of, and compliance with, certain financial covenants in our Senior Secured Credit Facility and the Indentures. Adjusted EBITDA is a material component of these covenants.

Table of Contents

 

Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net income or other performance measures presented in accordance with GAAP, or as an alternative to cash flow from operations as a measure of our liquidity. Adjusted EBITDA does not represent net loss or cash flow from operations as those terms are defined by GAAP and does not necessarily indicate whether cash flows will be sufficient to fund cash needs. In particular, the definition of Adjusted EBITDA in the Indentures and our Senior Secured Credit Facility allows us to add back certain non-cash, extraordinary, unusual or non-recurring charges that are deducted in calculating net loss. However, these are expenses that may recur, vary greatly and are difficult to predict. While Adjusted EBITDA and similar measures are frequently used as measures of operations and the ability to meet debt service requirements, Adjusted EBITDA is not necessarily comparable to other similarly titled captions of other companies due to the potential inconsistencies in the method of calculation.

 

Our ability to meet the covenants specified above will depend on future events, many of which are beyond our control, and we cannot assure you that we will meet those covenants. A breach of any of these covenants in the future could result in a default under our Senior Secured Credit Facility and the Indentures, at which time the lenders could elect to declare all amounts outstanding under our Senior Secured Credit Facility to be immediately due and payable. Any such acceleration would also result in a default under the Indentures.

 

The following table provides a reconciliation from our net loss to Adjusted EBITDA for the three and twelve months ended April 3, 2010. The terms and related calculations are defined in the credit agreement relating to our Senior Secured Credit Facility and the Indentures.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

Our management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to reserves for contractual allowances, doubtful accounts, rebates, product returns and rental credits, goodwill and intangible assets, deferred tax assets and liabilities, and inventory. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. To the extent that actual events differ from our estimates and assumptions, there could be a material impact on our financial statements.

 

We believe the following critical accounting policies affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements and this discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations.

 

Reserves for Contractual Allowances, Doubtful Accounts, Rebates, Product Returns and Rental Credits

 

We have established reserves to account for contractual allowances, doubtful accounts, rebates, product returns and rental credits. Significant management judgment must be used and estimates must be made in connection with establishing these reserves.

 

35



Table of Contents

 

We maintain provisions for estimated contractual allowances for reimbursement amounts from our third party payor customers based on negotiated contracts and historical experience for non-contracted payors. We report these allowances as reductions in our gross revenue. We estimate the amount of the reduction based on historical experience and invoices generated in the period, and we consider the impact of new contract terms or modifications of existing arrangements with our customers. We have contracts with certain third party payors for our third party reimbursement billings, which call for specified reductions in reimbursement of billed amounts based upon contractual reimbursement rates. For the three months ended April 3, 2010 and March 28, 2009, we reserved for and reduced gross revenues from third party payors by 32% and 31%, respectively, for estimated allowances related to these contractual reductions.

 

Our reserve for doubtful accounts is based upon estimated losses from customers who are billed directly and the portion of third party reimbursement billings that ultimately become the financial responsibility of the end user patients. Direct-billed customers represented approximately 68% of our net revenues for the each of the three months ended April 3, 2010 and March 28, 2009, and approximately 67% and 62% of our net accounts receivable for the three months ended April 3, 2010 and March 28, 2009, respectively. We experienced write-offs of less than 1% of related net revenues for the three months ended April 3, 2010 and March 28, 2009, respectively. Our third party reimbursement customers including insurance companies, managed care companies and certain governmental payors, such as Medicare, include all of our OfficeCare customers, most of our Empi customers, and certain other customers of our Domestic Rehabilitation Segment. Our third-party payor customers represented approximately 32% and 28% of our net revenues for the three months ended April 3, 2010 and March 28, 2009, respectively, and approximately 33% and 38% of our net accounts receivable for the three months ended April 3, 2010 and March 28, 2009, respectively. For the three months ended April 3, 2010 and March 28, 2009, we estimate bad debt expense to be approximately 7% and 8%, respectively, of gross revenues from these third party reimbursement customers. If the financial condition of our customers were to deteriorate resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments or if third party payors were to deny claims for late filings, incomplete information or other reasons, additional provisions may be required. Additions to this reserve are reflected as selling, general and administrative expense.

 

Our reserve for rebates accounts for incentives that we offer to certain of our distributors. These rebates generally are substantially attributable to sales volume, sales growth and to reimburse the distributor for certain discounts. We record estimated reductions to revenue for customer rebate programs based upon historical experience and estimated revenue levels.

 

Our reserve for product returns accounts for estimated customer returns of our products after purchase. These returns are mainly attributable to a third party payor’s refusal to provide reimbursement for the product or the inability of the product to adequately address the patient’s condition. We provide for this reserve by reducing gross revenue based on our historical rate of returns.

 

Our reserve for rental credit recognizes a timing difference between billing for a sale and processing a rental credit associated with some of our rehabilitation devices. Many insurance providers require patients to rent our rehabilitation devices for a period of one to three months prior to purchase. If the patient has a long-term need for the device, these insurance companies may authorize purchase of the device after such time period. When the device is purchased, most providers require that rental payments previously made on the device be credited toward the purchase price. These credits are processed at the time the payment is received for the purchase of the device, which creates a time lag between billing for a sale and processing the rental credit. Our rental credit reserve estimates unprocessed rental credits based on the number of devices converted to purchase. The reserve is calculated by first assessing the number of our products being rented during the relevant period and our historical conversion rate of rentals to sales, and then reducing our revenue by the applicable amount. We provide for these reserves by reducing our gross revenue. The cost to refurbish rented products is expensed as incurred as part of cost of sales.

 

Inventory Reserves

 

We provide reserves for estimated excess and obsolete inventories equal to the difference between the costs of inventories on hand plus future purchase commitments and the estimated market value based upon assumptions about future demand. If future demand is less favorable than currently projected by management, additional inventory write-downs may be required. We also provide reserves for newer product inventories, as appropriate, based on any minimum purchase commitments and our level of sales of the new products.

 

We consign a portion of our inventory to allow our products to be immediately dispensed to patients. This requires a large amount of inventory to be on hand for the products we sell through consignment arrangements. It also increases the sensitivity of these products to obsolescence reserve estimates. As this inventory is not in our possession, we maintain additional reserves for estimated shrinkage of these inventories based on the results of periodic inventory counts and historical trends.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

 

In accordance with ASC Topic 350 (formerly SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”), we do not amortize goodwill. In lieu of amortization, we are required to perform an annual review for impairment. Goodwill is recorded as the difference, if any, between the aggregate consideration paid for an acquisition and the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired. The amounts and useful lives assigned to intangible assets acquired, other than goodwill, impact the amount and timing of future amortization, and the amount assigned to in-process research and development which is expensed immediately. The value of our intangible assets, including goodwill, could be impacted by future adverse changes such as: (i) any future declines in our operating results, (ii) a further decline in the valuation of comparable company stocks, (iii) a further significant slowdown in the worldwide economy or our industry or (iv) any failure to meet the performance projections included in our forecasts of future operating results. We estimated the fair values of our reporting units primarily using the income approach valuation methodology that includes the discounted cash flow method, taking into consideration the market approach and certain market multiples as a validation of the values derived using the discounted cash flow methodology. The discounted cash flows for each reporting unit were based on discrete financial forecasts developed by management for planning purposes. Cash flows beyond the discrete forecasts were estimated using a terminal value calculation, which incorporated historical and forecasted financial trends for each identified reporting unit and considered long-term earnings growth rates for publicly traded peer companies. Future cash flows were discounted to present value. Specifically, the income approach valuations included reporting unit cash flow discount rates ranging from 10.5% to 12.6% and terminal value growth rates of 3%. Publicly available information regarding the market capitalization was also considered in assessing the reasonableness of the cumulative fair values of our reporting units estimated using the discounted cash flow methodology.  Significant management judgment is required in the forecasts of future operating results that are used in the discounted cash flow method of valuation. The estimates we have used are consistent with the plans and estimates that we use to manage our business. It is possible, however, that the plans may change and estimates used may prove to be inaccurate. If our actual results, or the plans and estimates used in future impairment analyses, are lower than the original estimates used to assess the recoverability of these assets, we could incur significant impairment charges.

 

We perform an impairment analysis on our goodwill on an annual basis in the fourth quarter and in certain other circumstances when impairment indicators are present. Our annual impairment test related to goodwill did not indicate any impairment.

 

Furthermore,  ASC Topic 350 states that intangible assets with indefinite lives should be tested annually in lieu of being amortized.  This testwork compares the fair value of the intangible with its carrying amount.  To determine the fair value we applied the relief from royalty method (“RFR”).  Under the RFR method, the value of the trade name is determined by calculating the present value of the after-tax cost savings associated with owning the asset and therefore not being required to pay royalties for its use during the asset’s indefinite life. Significant judgments inherent in this analysis include the selection of appropriate discount rates, estimating future cash flows and the identification of appropriate terminal growth rate assumptions.  Discount rate assumptions are based on an assessment of the risk inherent in the projected future cash generated by the respective intangible assets.  Also subject to judgment are assumptions about royalty rates, which are based on the estimated rates at which similar brands and trademarks are being licensed in the marketplace.

 

Deferred Tax Asset Valuation Allowance

 

We recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities based on the differences between the financial statement carrying amount and the tax bases of assets, liabilities and net operating loss carryforwards. We establish valuation allowances when the recovery of a deferred tax asset is not likely based on historical income, projected future income, the expected timing of the reversals of temporary differences and the implementation of tax-planning strategies.

 

Our gross deferred tax asset balance was approximately $168.6 million at April 3, 2010 and primarily related to reserves for accounts receivable and inventory, accrued expenses, and net operating loss carryforwards (see Note 9 to our condensed consolidated financial statements). As of April 3, 2010, we maintained a valuation allowance of $6.1 million due to uncertainties related to our ability to realize certain net operating loss carryforwards acquired in connection with prior year acquisitions.

 

ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

We are exposed to certain market risks as part of our ongoing business operations, primarily risks from changing interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates that could impact our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

 

37



Table of Contents

 

Interest Rate Risk

 

Our primary exposure is to changing interest rates. We have historically managed our interest rate risk by balancing the amounts of our fixed and variable debt. For our fixed rate debt, interest rate changes may affect the market value of the debt but do not impact our earnings or cash flow. Conversely, for our variable rate debt, interest rate changes generally do not affect the fair market value of the debt but do impact future earnings and cash flow, assuming other factors are held constant. We are exposed to interest rate risk as a result of our borrowings under our Senior Secured Credit Facility, which bear interest at floating rates based on the LIBOR or the prime rate of Credit Suisse. As of April 3, 2010, we had $937.8 million of borrowings under our Senior Secured Credit Facility. On November 20, 2007, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement related to the Senior Secured Credit Facility for a notional amount of $515.0 million at a fixed LIBOR rate of 4.205% which expired on December 31, 2009. In February 2009, we entered into two additional non-amortizing interest rate swap agreements. The first was for a notional amount of $550.0 million at a fixed LIBOR rate of 1.04% beginning in February 2009 which expired on December 31, 2009. The second is for a notional amount of $750.0 million at a fixed LIBOR rate of 1.88% beginning January 2010 amortizing through December 2010.  In August 2009, we entered into four new non-amortizing interest swap agreements with notional amounts aggregating $300.0 million. Each of the four agreements has a term beginning January 2011 through December 2011. The four agreements are at a weighted average fixed LIBOR rate of 2.5825%.   The fair value of our interest rate swap agreement recorded in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets as of April 3, 2010 and December 31, 2009 was a loss of approximately $11.9 million and $11.2 million, respectively, and is recorded in other current and non-current liabilities. A hypothetical 1% increase in variable interest rates for the remaining portion of the Senior Secured Credit Facility not covered by the swaps would have impacted our earnings and cash flow, for the three months ended April 3, 2010, by approximately $0.5 million. Our senior notes of approximately $875.0 million consisted of fixed rate notes at April 3, 2010. We may use additional derivative financial instruments where appropriate to manage our interest rate risk. However, as a matter of policy, we do not enter into derivative or other financial investments for trading or speculative purposes.

 

Foreign Currency Risk

 

Due to the global reach of our business, we are exposed to market risk from changes in foreign currency exchange rates, particularly with respect to the U.S. dollar compared to the Euro and the Mexican Peso. Our wholly owned foreign subsidiaries are consolidated into our financial results and are subject to risks typical of an international business including, but not limited to, differing economic conditions, changes in political climate, differing tax structures, other regulations and restrictions and foreign exchange volatility. To date, we have not used international currency derivatives to hedge against our investment in our European subsidiaries or their operating results, which are converted into U.S. Dollars at period-end and average rates, respectively. However, as we continue to expand our business through acquisitions and organic growth, the sales of our products that are denominated in foreign currencies has increased as well as the costs associated with our foreign subsidiaries which operate in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Accordingly, our future results could be materially impacted by changes in these or other factors. For the three months ended April 3, 2010, sales denominated in foreign currencies accounted for approximately 22.8 % of our consolidated net sales, of which 17.9% were denominated in the Euro. In addition, our exposure to fluctuations in foreign currencies arises because certain of our subsidiaries enter into purchase or sale transactions using a currency other than its functional currency. Our Mexico-based manufacturing operations incur costs that are largely denominated in Mexican Pesos. Accordingly, our future results could be materially impacted by changes in foreign exchange rates or other factors. Occasionally, we seek to reduce the potential impact of currency fluctuations on our business through hedging transactions. At April 3, 2010, we had foreign exchange forward contracts with an aggregate notional amount of $188.9 million Mexican Pesos, or approximately $14.1 million, and an aggregate fair market value of approximately $1.1 million. These contracts expire weekly throughout the fiscal year 2010.  For the three months ended April 3, 2010 we recognized an unrealized gain of approximately $1.1 million, and for the three months ended March 29, 2009, we recognized an unrealized loss of approximately $3.0 million, related to these contracts, which is included in other income (expense) in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.

 

ITEM 4.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as the term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the quarter covered by this report. Based on this evaluation and subject to the foregoing, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the end of the quarter covered by this report, the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to accomplish their objectives at a reasonable assurance level.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

                During the first quarter of 2010 we made changes to our internal control over financial reporting in connection with the transition to the new ERP system at our Surgical Implant Business. This ongoing implementation has materially changed how transactions are being processed and has also changed the structure and operation of some internal controls. While the ERP changes materially affected our internal control over financial reporting during the current quarter ended April 3, 2010, the implementation has proceeded to date without material adverse effects on our internal control over financial reporting.  Additionally, we established additional temporary compensating controls, including transactional validation and additional reconciliation procedures to ensure the accuracy of the reported amounts. We expect to maintain certain of these additional temporary compensating controls for a period of time.

 

Except for those changes made in connection with the new ERP system, there were no other changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as that term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

Part II. OTHER INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

From time to time, we are plaintiffs or defendants in various litigation matters in the ordinary course of our business, some of which involve claims for damages that are substantial in amount. We believe that the disposition of claims currently pending will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position or results of operations.

 

The manufacture and sale of orthopedic devices and related products exposes us to a significant risk of product liability claims. From time to time, we have been, and we are currently, subject to a number of product liability claims alleging that the use of our products resulted in adverse effects. Even if we are successful in defending against any liability claims, such claims could nevertheless distract our management, result in substantial costs, harm our reputation, adversely affect the sales of all our products and otherwise harm our business. If there is a significant increase in the number of product liability claims, our business could be adversely affected.

 

We are currently defendants in approximately 80 product liability cases, including a lawsuit in Canada seeking class action status, related to a disposable drug infusion pump product manufactured by two third party manufacturers that we distributed through our Bracing and Supports business unit of our Domestic Rehabilitation segment. We discontinued our sale of these products in the second quarter of 2009. These cases have been brought against the manufacturers and certain distributors of these pumps, and in some cases, the manufacturers of the anesthetics used in these pumps. All of these lawsuits allege that the use of these pumps with certain anesthetics in certain shoulder surgeries over prolonged periods have resulted in cartilage damage to the plaintiffs. We have sought indemnity and tendered the defense of these cases to the two manufacturers who supplied these pumps to us, to their products liability carriers and to our products liability carriers. The products liability carriers for both manufacturers have accepted coverage for our defense of these claims; however, both manufacturers have rejected our tenders of indemnity. The base policy for one of the manufacturers has been exhausted and the excess liability carriers for that manufacturer are not obligated to provide a defense until a $5 million self-insured retention has been paid. Our products liability carrier has accepted coverage of these cases, subject to a reservation of the right to deny coverage for customary matters, including punitive damages and off-label promotion. The lawsuits allege damages ranging from unspecified amounts to claims between $1.0 million and $10.0 million. These cases are in varying stages from initial pleading and discovery to pre-trial preparation. We could be exposed to material liabilities if our insurance coverage is not available or inadequate and the resources of the two manufacturers, including their respective products liability insurance policies, are unavailable or insufficient to pay the defense costs and settlements or judgments in these cases.

 

We maintain products liability insurance that is subject to annual renewal. Our current policy covers claims reported between July 1, 2009 and June 30, 2010 and provides for coverage (together with excess policies) of up to a limit of $80 million, provided that the top layer of $25 million excess over $55 million covers only claims reported after February 25, 2010 and the next layer down of $10 million excess over $45 million covers only claims reported after February 18, 2010. This coverage is subject to a self-insured retention of $500,000 for claims related to pain pumps described above and claims related to the IceMan cold therapy product, a self-insured retention of $250,000 on claims related to all other invasive products and a self-insured retention of $50,000 on claims related to all other non-invasive products, with an aggregate self-insured retention of $1.0 million for all products liability claims. In addition, the top layer of $25 million excess over $55 million has a separate self-insured retention of $50,000 per claim.  Our prior two products

liability policies cover claims reported between July 1, 2007 and February 15, 2008 and between February 15, 2008 and July 1, 2009, respectively.  The 2007-2008 policy provides for coverage (together with excess policies) of up to a limit of $20 million and the 2008-2009 policy provides for coverage (together with excess policies) of up to a limit of $25 million.  Certain of the pain pump cases described above were reported under and are covered by these two policies.  If a products liability claim or series of claims is brought against us for uninsured liabilities or in excess of our insurance coverage, our business could suffer materially. In addition, in certain instances, a products liability claim could also result in our having to recall some of our products, which could result in significant costs to us. On our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of April 3, 2010 and December 31, 2009, we have accrued approximately $1.1 million and $2.0 million, respectively, for expenses related to products liability claims.  The amount accrued is based upon previous claim experience in part due to the fact that in 2003 we exceeded the coverage limits in effect at that time for certain historical product liability claims involving one of our discontinued surgical implant products and such products are excluded from coverage under our current policies.

 

On April 15, 2009, we became aware of a qui tam action filed in Federal Court in Boston, Massachusetts in March 2005 and amended in December 2007 that names us as a defendant along with each of the other companies that manufactures and sells external bone growth stimulators, as well as our principal stockholder, The Blackstone Group, and the principal stockholder of one of the other companies in the bone growth stimulation business. This case is captioned United States ex rel. Beirman v. Orthofix International, N.V., et al., Civil Action No. 05-10557 (D. Mass.). The case was sealed when originally filed and unsealed in March 2009. The plaintiff, or relator, alleges that the defendants have engaged in Medicare fraud and violated Federal and state false claims acts from the time of the original introduction of the devices by each defendant to the present by seeking reimbursement for bone growth stimulators as a purchased item rather than a rental item. The relator also alleges that the defendants are engaged in other marketing practices constituting violations of the Federal and various state anti-kickback statutes. On December 4, 2009, we filed a motion to dismiss the relator’s complaint, and we are currently awaiting a response from the relator. Shortly before becoming aware of the qui tam action, we were advised that our bone growth stimulator business was the subject of an investigation by the Department of Justice (“DOJ”), and on April 10, 2009, we were served with a subpoena under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (“HIPAA”) seeking numerous documents relating to the marketing and sale by us of bone growth stimulators. On September 21, 2009, we were served with a second HIPAA subpoena related to this DOJ investigation seeking additional documents relating to the marketing and sale by us of bone growth stimulators. We believe that these subpoenas are related to the DOJ’s investigation of the allegations in the qui tam action, although the DOJ has decided not to intervene in the qui tam action at this time. We believe that our marketing practices in the bone growth stimulation business are in compliance with applicable legal standards and we intend to defend this case and investigation vigorously. We can make no assurance as to the resources that will be needed to respond to these matters or the final outcome of such action.

ITEM 5.  OTHER INFORMATION

 

On March 19, 2010, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of DJO Incorporated, the parent of DJO Finance LLC, authorized further revisions to the vesting provisions of options under the 2007 Incentive Stock Plan. These revisions will be reflected in option awards made after this action and will be reflected in amendments to outstanding options, including options granted to our named executive officers.  As a result of a prior amendment in 2009 to the vesting provisions, one-third of the options granted in 2008 and 2009 contained a Time-Based Tranche (with vesting based on continued employment with the Company), one-third contained a Performance-Based Tranche (with vesting based on Adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow targets) and one-third contained an Enhanced Market Return Tranche (with vesting based on the achievement by The Blackstone Group of a minimum internal rate of return (IRR) and a minimum return of money on invested capital (MOIC) for Blackstone on its investment in the Company). The Compensation Committee agreed with management’s determination that the Adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow results for 2009 resulted in the vesting of approximately 90% of the shares included in the Performance-Based Tranche for 2009 for all outstanding options, and pursuant to a “catch-up” provision also resulted in the vesting of approximately 90% of the shares included in the Performance-Based Tranche for 2008 for all outstanding options granted in that year.  The Compensation Committee noted that the performance targets for 2009 had previously been modified, but that no modification had been made or was contemplated to be made for the performance targets for 2010 or beyond.  Unless such targets were modified, the likelihood of the Company meeting the performance targets for 2010 or beyond was remote, and the Compensation Committee determined that these future targets under the Performance-Based Tranche, which had been designed at the time of the adoption of the 2007 Incentive Stock Plan, would not sufficiently incentivize executives because the likelihood of the Company meeting such targets was remote. The Compensation Committee determined that further modification of the future performance targets of the Performance-Based Tranche was not consistent with the purposes of the 2007 Incentive Stock Plan, and that a more appropriate measure for the vesting of this tranche was a measure similar to that adopted for the Enhanced Market Return Tranche.  Accordingly, for future option awards and for outstanding

option awards, the vesting metrics for the former Performance-Based Tranche, which as a result of this amendment will now be referred to as the “Market Return Tranche”, were established as a minimum IRR for Blackstone on its investment in the Company and a minimum MOIC for Blackstone on its investment in the Company.  These investment return metrics, both of which must be satisfied for vesting to occur, will be similar to those established for the Enhanced Market Return Tranche and will apply to one-third of the shares covered by future option awards and to shares covered by the former Performance-Based Tranche in outstanding options awards for the portion of this tranche that is subject to vesting for the years 2010 and beyond.  Those portions of the Performance-Based Tranche of outstanding 2008 and 2009 option awards relating to performance in 2008 and 2009 that were not vested as described above based on the 2009 results were considered forfeited and returned to the available option pool under the 2007 Incentive Stock Plan.
