Cautionary
Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
Throughout
this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or in other reports or registration
statements filed from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or under the Securities Act of 1933,
as well as in documents we incorporate by reference or in press releases or oral
statements made by our officers or representative, we may make statements that
express our opinions, expectations or projections regarding future events or
future results, in contrast with statements that reflect historical facts. These
predictive statements, which we generally precede or accompany by such typical
conditional words such as “anticipate,” “intend,” “believe,” “estimate,” “plan,”
“seek,” “project,” “potential,” or “expect,” or by the words “may,” “will,”
“could,” or “should,” and similar expressions or terminology are intended to
operate as “forward-looking statements” of the kind permitted by the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. That legislation protects such
predictive statements by creating a “safe harbor” from liability in the event
that a particular prediction does not turn out as anticipated.
Forward-looking
statements convey our current expectations or forecast future events. While we
always intend to express our best judgment when we make statements about what we
believe will occur in the future, and although we base these statements on
assumptions that we believe to be reasonable when made, these forward-looking
statements are not a guarantee of performance, and you should not place undue
reliance on such statements. Forward-looking statements are subject to many
uncertainties and other variable circumstances, many of which are outside of our
control, that could cause our actual results and experience to differ materially
from those we thought would occur.
We also
refer you to and believe that you should carefully read the “Cautionary Note
Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and “Risk Factors” portions of our Annual
Report for fiscal 2009 on Form 10-K, as well as in other reports which we file
with the Securities and Exchange Commission, to better understand the risks and
uncertainties that are inherent in our business and in owning our
securities. These reports are available publicly on the SEC
website, www.sec.gov and on our
website, www.symmetrymedical.com.
Any
forward-looking statements which we make in this report or in any of the
documents that are incorporated by reference herein speak only as of the date of
such statement, and we undertake no ongoing obligation to update such
statements. Comparisons of results between current and any prior periods are not
intended to express any future trends or indications of future performance,
unless expressed as such, and should only be viewed as historical
data.

Debt Arrangements
The Corporation’s Senior
Credit Agreement, including the revolving credit facility, which has a balance
of $83,337 at July 3, 2010, matures
in June 2011. As such, all debt under this agreement has been
classified as current on the condensed consolidated balance
sheets.
The
Senior Credit Agreement contains various financial covenants, including
covenants requiring a maximum total debt to EBITDA ratio, minimum EBITDA to
interest ratio and a minimum EBITDA to fixed charges ratio. The Senior Credit
Agreement also contains covenants restricting certain corporate actions,
including asset dispositions, acquisitions, paying dividends and certain other
restricted payments, changes of control, incurring indebtedness, incurring
liens, making loans and investments and transactions with affiliates. The senior
credit facility is secured by substantially all of the Corporation's assets. The
Corporation's Senior Credit Agreement also contains customary events of
default.
On August 4, 2010, the
Corporation entered into a limited waiver (the “Limited Waiver”) to its Senior
Credit Agreement, dated as of June 13, 2006, by and among the Corporation, Wells
Fargo Bank, National Association (as successor by merger to Wachovia Bank,
National Association), as administrative agent (the “Agent”), and various other
lenders that are party thereto. Subject to certain conditions, the Limited
Waiver provides a waiver of compliance with certain covenants, and related
events of default, set forth in the Credit Facility for the second and third
fiscal quarters of 2010. Specifically, the Limited Waiver waives those certain
events of default that have occurred or are anticipated to occur under the
Credit Facility as a result of or relating to:
(1) Failure
of the Corporation to meet the minimum EBITDA to fixed charges ratio for the
second and third fiscal quarter of 2010, but only to the extent that the
Corporation maintains a ratio of at least 0.90 to 1.0 for the second fiscal
quarter of 2010 and a ratio of at least 1.0 to 1.0 for the third fiscal quarter
of 2010; and
(2) The Corporation
exceeding the maximum amount of investments permitted to be made in foreign
subsidiaries for each of the second and third fiscal quarters of 2010, but only
to the extent that the aggregate amount of investments in the Corporation’s
foreign subsidiaries, as of the end of each of the second and third fiscal
quarters of 2010, does not exceed $15 million.

The Corporation was in
compliance with all covenants under the Senior Credit Agreement as of July 3,
2010.
In March,
2010, our Sheffield, UK unit obtained a new £3,000 facility, comprised of a
24-month asset-based term note and short-term revolver facility. The
term note matures in March 2012 with monthly payments plus interest at 2.75% per
year. The short-term revolver is due on demand and accrues interest
at 3.50% per year. As of July 3, 2010, $2,395 was outstanding on the
term loan and there were no borrowings on the short-term
revolver. The term note and revolver are secured by certain assets of
our Sheffield, UK unit, which had a net book value of approximately $6,284 as of
July 3, 2010.

New Accounting Pronouncements
Disclosures
about Fair
Value Measurements. In January 2010, the
Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update
(“ASU”) 2010-06, “Improving Disclosures about Fair Value
Measurements.” ASU 2010-06 requires additional disclosures about fair
value measurements including transfers in and out of Levels 1 and 2 and a higher
level of disaggregation for the different types of financial instruments. For
the reconciliation of Level 3 fair value measurements, information about
purchases, sales, issuances and settlements are presented separately. This
standard is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after
December 15, 2009 with the exception of revised Level 3 disclosure requirements
which are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after
December 15, 2010. Comparative disclosures are not required in the year of
adoption. The Corporation adopted the provisions of the standard on January 3,
2010, which did not have an impact on the Corporation’s financial position,
results of operations or cash flows.
7.
Segment Reporting
The
Corporation primarily designs, develops and manufactures implants and related
surgical instruments and cases for orthopedic device companies and companies in
other medical device markets such as dental, osteobiologic and endoscopy. The
Corporation also sells products to the aerospace industry. The Corporation
manages its business in multiple operating segments. Because of the similar
economic characteristics of these operations, including the nature of the
products, comparable level of FDA regulations, and same or similar customers,
those operations have been aggregated for segment reporting purposes. The
results of one segment which sells exclusively to aerospace customers has not
been disclosed separately as it does not meet the quantitative disclosure
requirements.
The
Corporation is a multi-national Corporation with operations in the United
States, United Kingdom, France, Ireland and Malaysia. As a result, the
Corporation's financial results can be impacted by currency exchange rates in
the foreign markets in which the Corporation sells its products. Revenues are
attributed to geographic locations based on the location to which we ship our
products.

Commitments and Contingencies
Legal & Environmental
Matters. The Corporation is involved, from time to time, in
various contractual, product liability, patent (or intellectual property) and
other claims and disputes incidental to its business. Currently, there is no
environmental or other litigation pending or, to the knowledge of the
Corporation, threatened, that the Corporation expects to have a material adverse
effect on its financial condition, results of operations or liquidity. While
litigation is subject to uncertainties and the outcome of litigated matters is
not predictable with assurance, the Corporation currently believes that the
disposition of all pending or, to the knowledge of the Corporation, threatened
claims and disputes, individually or in the aggregate, should not have a
material adverse effect on the Corporation’s consolidated financial condition,
results of operations or liquidity.
10
Following
the discovery of certain accounting irregularities at our Sheffield, UK
operating unit (as further described in this Form 10-Q at Part II, Item 1), the
Audit Committee self-reported the matter to the staff of the Securities and
Exchange Commission (SEC) in October 2007. Thereafter, the SEC commenced an
informal inquiry into this matter. The Corporation has fully cooperated with the
SEC in its investigation. At this time, the Corporation is unable to predict the
timing of the ultimate resolution of this investigation or the impact
thereof.
Unconditional Purchase
Obligations. The Corporation has contracts to purchase minimum
quantities of plastic, cobalt chrome and titanium through December
2012. Based on contractual pricing at July 3, 2010, remaining minimum
purchase obligations total $21,119. Purchases under plastic, cobalt
chrome and titanium contracts total approximately $11,041 for the six month
period ended July 3, 2010. These purchases are not in excess of our
forecasted requirements.
10.
Comprehensive Income
Comprehensive
income is comprised of net income, gains (losses) resulting from currency
translations of foreign entities and unrealized gain and losses on our
derivative designated as a hedge under ASC 815, Hedging (formerly SFAS 133).

Derivatives
The Corporation
utilizes derivative instruments to minimize the volatility of cash flows and
income statement impacts associated with interest rate payments on its variable
rate debt. The Corporation recognizes all derivative instruments as
either assets or liabilities at fair value on the consolidated balance sheets.
The Corporation utilizes third party valuations to assist in the determination
of the fair value of these derivatives. The Corporation considers its derivative
instrument valuations to be Level 2 fair value measurements under the provision
of the FASB Statement on fair value measurements (See Note 12).
To the
extent a derivative instrument is designated effective as a cash flow hedge of
an exposure to changes in the fair value of a future transaction, the change in
fair value of the derivative is deferred in accumulated other comprehensive
income / (loss), a component of shareholders’ equity in the condensed
consolidated balance sheets, until the underlying transaction hedged is
recognized in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. The
Corporation accounts for certain derivatives hedging the payment of interest as
cash flow hedges and the impact of the hedge is reclassified to interest expense
in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations upon payment of
interest.
The
Corporation’s profitability and cash flows are affected by changes in interest
rates, specifically the LIBOR rate. The primary purpose of the
Corporation’s interest rate risk management activities is to hedge its exposure
to changes in interest rates. In 2009, the Corporation entered into a
forward swap contract to manage interest rate risk related to a portion of its
current variable rate senior secured term loan. The Corporation has hedged the
future interest payments related to $64,100 of the total outstanding term loan
indebtedness due in 2011 pursuant to this forward swap contract. This
swap contract, which had a fair value of ($495) at July 3, 2010,
is designated as a cash flow hedge of the future payment of variable rate
interest with three-month LIBOR fixed at 1.34% per annum in 2009, 2010 and
2011.
11
11.
Derivatives (Continued)
In 2006,
the Corporation entered into a forward swap contract to manage interest rate
risk related to $40,000 of its then existing variable rate senior secured first
lien term loan to a fixed payment obligation of 5.45% per annum for the period
commencing July 3, 2006 and ending on June 10, 2011. This swap contract, which
had a fair value of ($1,810) at July 3, 2010, was not designated as a cash flow
hedge of the future variable rate payment of interest. The entire
change in the fair value of this interest rate swap is recorded to derivative
valuation (gain) / loss in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of
operations. For the three months ended July 3, 2010 and July 4, 2009, the
Corporation recorded gains of $480 and $175, respectively, and gains of $788 and
$568 for the six months then ended.
12.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
As of
July 3, 2010 and January 2, 2010, the Corporation held certain assets that are
required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis. These included the
Corporation’s interest rate derivative instruments. The Corporation’s
derivative instruments consist of contracts that are not traded on a public
exchange. The fair values of interest rate derivative instruments are determined
based on inputs that are readily available in public markets or can be derived
from information available in publicly quoted markets. Therefore, the
Corporation has categorized these swap contracts as Level 2 in accordance with
the FASB Statement on fair value measurement.
The
following table summarizes certain fair value information at July 3, 2010 and
January 2, 2010 for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring
basis.

Additionally,
financial instruments also consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts
receivable, and long-term debt. The carrying value of these financial
instruments approximates fair value.
13. Facility
Closure and Severance Costs
Results
of Operations include pre-tax charges of $340 and $54 for the three months ended
July 3, 2010 and July 4, 2009, respectively, and $860 and $162 for the six
months then ended, associated with employee cost reduction and efficiency
actions and the consolidation of our Auburn, ME facility into other facilities
that produce similar products. For the three month period ended July
3, 2010, these costs are comprised of $258 of severance costs and an additional
$82 of moving expenses compared to $54 of severance costs for the period ended
July 4, 2009. For the six month period ended July 3, 2010, these
costs are comprised of $591 of severance costs and an additional $269 of moving
expenses compared to $162 of severance costs for the period ended July 4,
2009.
As of
July 3, 2010 and January 2, 2010, severance accruals related to these cost
reduction and efficiency actions totaled $91 and $836, respectively, and are
included in accrued and other liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance
sheets. The reduction in the accrual from January 2, 2010 represents
payments made during the first half of 2010 of $1,336, offset by additional
severance costs incurred of $591.

ITEM 2.
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS
(In
millions)
Business
Overview
We are a
leading independent provider of implants and related instruments and cases to
orthopedic device manufacturers and other medical markets. We also design,
develop and produce these products for companies in other segments of the
medical device market, including arthroscopy, dental, laparoscopy, osteobiologic
and endoscopy sectors, and provide limited specialized products to
non-healthcare markets, such as the aerospace industry.
We offer
our customers Total Solutions® for complete implant systems—implants,
instruments and cases. While our revenue to date has been derived primarily from
the sale of implants, instruments and cases separately, or instruments and cases
together, our ability to provide Total Solutions® for complete implant systems
has already proven to be attractive to our customers, and we expect this
capability will provide us with growth opportunities. In addition, we expect
that our Total Solutions® capability will increase the relative percentage of
value added products that we supply to our customers.
During
the second quarter 2010, our revenue decreased $12.2 million, or 12.1%, compared
to the second quarter 2009. This reduction was primarily driven by
reduced customer demand in the instrument product line compounded by unfavorable
foreign currency exchange rate impacts of $1.1 million. The overall
economic environment continues to impact demand from our major customers, which
resulted in reduced revenue of 19.2% during the second quarter from our combined
five largest OEM customers as they continue to manage inventory levels and the
timing of their various product launches. However, we did experience
a 5.1% increase in revenue in the second quarter 2010 as compared to the first
quarter 2010 and we believe we will continue to see sequential increases in
revenue during the third quarter 2010.
We
continue to be optimistic about the future as the larger OEMs are increasingly
focused on improving their supply chains. This focus should result in
consolidation of suppliers who in turn will be expected to provide a wider range
of services, higher quality and reduced overall costs. We believe
that we are well positioned to benefit from increased OEM outsourcing and
consolidation of suppliers.
Recently
we have been engaged in more active and positive discussions with our customers
to provide enhanced services. While these changes tend to have longer
leadtime, we continue to believe that we are in a favorable position to emerge
as a supplier of choice for our major customers. We believe our
global capacity and competitive strengths will benefit us as the order volume
and large project launches occur.
Over the
past four years, we have completed several acquisitions which expanded our
customer base and enabled us to assemble and offer a comprehensive line of
implants, surgical instruments and cases for orthopedic device manufacturers and
other medical markets on a global basis, as well as specialized parts into the
aerospace industry.
Our focus
remains on being a leader in our core orthopedic business, while capitalizing on
our leadership to extend our Total Solutions® approach into other medical
markets. We continue to see a favorable customer response to our offerings
as more and more of our customers are impacted by increased quality and
regulatory requirements. We are increasingly able to use the
leverage of our global resources while providing a local presence across
the global marketplace. This allows us to be close to our customers,
provide quicker response times, and increase our value added
services.
During
the first quarter of 2010, the U.S. Congress passed and the President
signed into law the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, as well as the
Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010, which represent a
significant change to the current U.S. healthcare system. A detailed
discussion of these risks and other factors is provided in Item 1A of our
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 2, 2010, and Part II, Item
1A in this report.

Second
Quarter Results of Operations
Revenue. Revenue
for the three month period ended July 3, 2010 decreased $12.2 million, or 12.1%,
to $88.8 million from $101.0 million for the comparable 2009 period.
Revenue for each of our principal product categories in these periods was as
follows:

The $12.2 million decrease in
revenue was primarily driven by lower instrument revenue as our five largest OEM customers reduced
spending on their launch quantities compared to strong demand in the second
quarter of 2009. We also experienced reduced
revenue as a result of
the
global economic
environment, which has resulted in reduced overall
revenue of 19.2%
from our five largest OEM
customers as they manage inventory levels and adjust
the timing of their various product launches. The reduction in
revenue was further impacted by unfavorable foreign currency exchange rate
fluctuations of $1.1 million.
Instrument revenue decreased
$11.5 million. This decrease was
driven primarily by lower revenue from our five largest OEM customers due to the
timing of their various product launch activity and their management of inventory levels, which resulted in a
decrease in revenue of $14.4 million. Foreign currency
exchange rate fluctuations further impacted instrument revenues with an
unfavorable impact of $0.1 million. Revenue from
other customers partially offset the decrease in revenues from our five largest
OEM customers driven by expanded product offerings and additions of new
customers.
Implant revenue decreased
$1.4 million driven by our five largest OEM customers’ management of their
inventory
levels, which
accounted for $1.6 million of the decrease in revenue, combined with
unfavorable
foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations of $0.7 million. Revenue from
other customers partially offset the decline in revenues from our five largest
OEM customers.
Case revenue increased $0.9
million due to increased revenue from our five largest OEM customers of $2.3 million as well increased revenue from our non-orthopedic
medical customers. Case revenue was negatively impacted by
reduced revenue
from other customers as well as unfavorable foreign currency
exchange rate fluctuations, which had a $0.1 million
impact.
Other product revenue
decreased $0.2 million due to unfavorable foreign currency exchange
rate fluctuations of $0.2
million.
Gross
Profit. Gross profit for the three
month period ended July 3, 2010 decreased $6.4 million, or 23.9%, to $20.4
million from $26.8 million for the comparable 2009 period due to the $12.2 million
decline in revenue combined with a decrease in gross
margin. Gross margin as a percentage
of revenue for
the second quarter 2010 was 22.9% compared to 26.5% in the same period last
year. This 3.6%
reduction was primarily due to the
12.1%
decline in
revenue which
reduced our ability to leverage fixed overhead costs, increased subcontracting
costs and changes in product mix. The increase in
subcontracting costs related to our case product line and the consolidation of
our Auburn, ME facility.
Selling, General and Administrative
Expenses. For the three month period ended July 3, 2010,
selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) were $12.3 million
compared with the three month period ended July 4, 2009 of $13.2 million. The decrease was primarily driven
by reduced employee compensation costs including non-cash restricted stock compensation
expense related
to continued cost control efforts
implemented in
the latter half of 2009 to offset the lower revenue
levels.
Facility Closure and Severance
Costs. Results of Operations include pre-tax charges of $0.3
million and $0.1 million for the three months ended July 3, 2010 and July
4, 2009, respectively, associated with employee cost reduction and efficiency
actions and the consolidation of our Auburn, ME facility into other facilities
that produce similar products. For the three month period ended July
3, 2010, these costs are comprised of $0.2 million of severance costs and an
additional $0.1 million of moving expenses compared to $0.1 million of severance
costs for the period ended July 4, 2009. Costs charged to operations
in the second quarter of 2010 were paid during second
quarter. Included in accrued and other liabilities in the
consolidated balance sheet as of July 3, 2010 is $0.1 million of severance costs
incurred during fiscal 2009 that have not yet been paid. These costs
are all expected to be paid during 2010.
Other (Income)
Expense. Interest expense for the three month
period ended July 3, 2010 decreased $0.1 million, or 4.2%, to $1.5 million
from $1.6 million for the comparable period in 2009. This decrease reflects
the reduction in aggregate outstanding indebtedness of $34.2 million, or 27.4%
as compared to July 4, 2009. The derivative gain in
the second quarter 2010 consists
of a gain on interest rate swap valuation of $0.5 million related to our
interest rate
swap that has not been designated as a hedge as compared to a gain of
$0.2 million for the comparable period in 2009. The interest rate swaps are
used to convert our variable rate long-term debt to fixed rates. Other income
for the three month period ended July 3, 2010 increased $0.1 million from the
comparable period in 2009 due to favorable foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations on
transactions denominated in foreign currencies.
14
Provision for Income
Taxes. Our
effective tax rate was 34.5% for the three month period ended July 3, 2010 as
compared to 26.2% for the three month period ended July 4, 2009. Provision for
income taxes decreased by $0.8 million, or 26.3%, to $2.4 million for the three
month period ended July 3, 2010 from $3.2 million for the comparable 2009 period
primarily due to a $5.3 million decrease in pre-tax income. Our
effective tax rate differed from the U.S. Federal statutory rate of 35%
primarily due to
the favorable impact of foreign income taxes.
Additionally, we have been adversely impacted by the absence of the research
& development tax credit, which expired at the end of 2009. Pending
legislation would retroactively reinstate the R&D tax credit to the
beginning of 2010. This legislation, if enacted, would positively impact
the effective tax rate in the period that it is enacted.
Six
Months Results of Operations
Revenue. Revenue
for the six month period ended July 3, 2010 decreased $29.1 million, or 14.4%,
to $173.3 million from $202.4 million for the comparable 2009 period.
Revenue for each of our principal product categories in these periods was as

The $29.1
million decrease in revenue was primarily
driven by the
$26.3 million decrease in instrument revenue as our
five
largest OEM
customers reduced spending on product launches compared to
2009. We also experienced reduced
revenue as a result of
the
global economic
environment, which has resulted in reduced overall revenue of 22.5% from our five largest OEM
customers as they manage inventory levels and adjust
the timing of their various product launches. The reduction in
revenue was slightly offset by favorable foreign
currency exchange rate fluctuations of $0.7
million.
Instrument revenue decreased
$26.3 million. This decrease was
driven by lower revenue from our five largest OEM customers of $32.3 million due to the timing of their
various product launch activity and management of inventory
levels. Offsetting this decline in revenue was increased revenue from
our other customers driven by expanded product offerings and additions of new
customers. Foreign currency exchange rate
fluctuations
also partially offset the decline in revenue with a $0.1 million favorable
impact.
Implant revenue decreased
$2.3 million driven by our
five
largest OEM
customers managing their inventory levels, which accounted for $1.7
million of the decrease in revenue. Implant revenue was positively impacted by
$0.2 million of favorable foreign currency
exchange rate fluctuation.
Case revenue increased
$1.2 million due to increased
revenue from our five largest OEM customers of $2.5 million as well as increased revenue from our non-orthopedic
medical customers. Case revenues
were also positively impacted by favorable foreign currency
exchange rate fluctuations of $0.2 million.
Other product revenue
decreased $1.7 million driven by a reduction in revenue
from our largest customer in aerospace industry reacting to deteriorating market
conditions in that sector. Related foreign currency
exchange rate fluctuations were favorable by $0.2 million.
Gross
Profit. Gross profit for the six month period ended July 3,
2010 decreased $13.9 million, or 27.1%, to $37.4 million from $51.3 million for
the comparable 2009 period due to the $29.1 million decline in revenue and a
decline in gross margin. Gross margin as a percentage
of revenue for
the six month
period ended July 3, 2010 was 21.6% compared to 25.4% in the same period last
year.
This 3.8% reduction was primarily
due to the 14.4% decline in revenue which reduced our ability to leverage fixed
overhead costs, increased subcontracting costs and product mix. The
increase in subcontracting costs related to our case produce line and the
consolidation of our Auburn, ME facility.
15
Selling, General and Administrative
Expenses. For the six month period ended July 3, 2010,
selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) were $24.9 million
compared with the six month period ended July 4, 2009 of $26.4 million. The improvement reflects
reduced employee
compensation costs including non-cash restricted stock compensation
driven by
cost control
efforts implemented in the latter
half of 2009 to
offset lower revenue levels.
Facility Closure and Severance
Costs. Results of
Operations include pre-tax charges of $0.9 million and $0.2 million for the
six months ended July 3, 2010 and July 4, 2009, respectively associated
with employee cost reduction and efficiency actions and the consolidation of our
Auburn, ME facility into other facilities that produce similar
products. For the six month period ended July 3, 2010, these costs
are comprised of $0.6 million of severance costs and an additional $0.3 million
of moving expenses compared to $0.2 million of severance costs for the period
ended July 4, 2009. As of July 3, 2010 and January 2, 2010, severance
accruals related to these cost reduction and efficiency actions totaled
$0.1 and $0.8 million, respectively, and are included in accrued and other
liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The
reduction in the accrual from January 2, 2010 represents payments made during
the first half of 2010 of $1.3 million, offset by additional severance costs
incurred of $0.6 million. Remaining costs are all expected to be paid
during 2010.
Other (Income)
Expense. Interest expense for the six month period
ended July 3, 2010 decreased $0.3 million, or 9.5%, to $3.1 million from
$3.4 million for the comparable period in 2009. This decrease reflects the
reduction in aggregate outstanding indebtedness $34.2 million, or 27.4% as
compared to July 4, 2009. The derivatives gain for the
first half of 2010 consists of a gain on interest rate swap valuation of $0.8
million related to our interest rate swap that has not been designated as a
hedge as compared to a gain of $0.6 million for the comparable period in
2009. The interest rate swaps are used to convert our variable rate long-term
debt to fixed rates. Other expense for the six month period ended July 3, 2010
increased $0.4 million from the comparable period in 2009, from a gain of $0.3
million to a loss of $0.1 million, due to unfavorable foreign currency exchange
rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in foreign
currencies.
Provision for Income
Taxes. Our effective tax rate was 34.4% for the six month period
ended July 3, 2010 as compared to 28.9% for the six month period ended July 4,
2009. Provision for income taxes decreased by $3.2 million, or 50.2%, to $3.2
million for the six month period ended July 3, 2010 from $6.4 million for the
comparable 2009 period and differed from the US Federal rate of 35% primarily
due to the favorable
impact of foreign income taxes.
Additionally, we have been adversely impacted by the absence of the research
& development tax credit, which expired at the end of 2009. Pending
legislation would retroactively reinstate the R&D tax credit to the
beginning of 2010. This legislation, if enacted, would positively impact
the effective tax rate in the period that it is enacted.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
Current
Market Conditions
We
continue to experience challenging business conditions due to the overall
economic environment that has resulted in reduced demand from our major OEM
customers as they continue to work down inventory levels and manage the timing
of their various product launch activities.
Current
global economic conditions have resulted in increased volatility in the
financial markets. During the first half of Fiscal 2010, we actively monitored
the financial health of our supplier base, tightened requirements for customer
credit, and increased spending controls across the company. We will continue to
monitor and manage these activities depending on current and expected market
developments.
Liquidity
Our
principal sources of liquidity in the six month period ended July 3, 2010 were
cash generated from operations and borrowings under our senior revolving credit
facility. Principal uses of cash in the six month period ended July 3,
2010 included increased working capital and capital expenditures as well as
debt service. We expect that our principal uses of cash in the future will be to
finance working capital, to pay for capital expenditures, to service debt and to
fund possible future acquisitions.
We
believe our cash resources will permit us to stay committed to our strategic
plan of increasing our share in the orthopedic market and expanding into other
medical device segments and growing the business.
Operating
Activities. Operating activities generated cash of $8.1
million in the six month period ended July 3, 2010 compared to $23.6 million for
the six month period ended July 4, 2009, a decrease of $15.5 million. The
decrease in cash from operations for the six month period ended July 3, 2010 is
primarily a result of a $9.7 reduction in net income and increased working
capital requirements for accounts receivable and inventory driven by increases
in revenue and production requirements in the second quarter of 2010 as compared
to the fourth quarter of 2009.
Investing Activities.
Capital expenditures of $6.3 million were $2.9 million lower in the six month
period ended July 3, 2010 compared to the six month period ended July 4,
2009.
16
Financing
Activities. Financing activities used $5.5 million of
cash in the six month period ended July 3, 2010 compared to $6.8 million for the
six month period ended July 4, 2009, due primarily to payments on long-term debt
and capital leases of $10.8 million, partially offset by cash received from a
new asset-based 24 month term note of $2.7 million at our Sheffield, UK facility
and net borrowings on our revolving line of credit of $2.5 million.
Capital
Expenditures
Capital
expenditures totaled $6.3 million for the six months ended July 3, 2010,
compared to $9.2 million for the six month period ended July 4, 2009. Capital
expenditures have been focused on areas strategically aligned to expand our
capabilities to further support our Spine customers, expand our Malaysia
operations and continue to increase efficiencies throughout our
facilities.
Debt
and Credit Facilities
As of July 3, 2010, we had an
aggregate of $90.8 million of outstanding indebtedness, which consisted of $79.4
million of term loan borrowings outstanding under our Senior Credit Agreement,
$4.0 million of borrowings outstanding under our revolving credit facility, $2.4
million of borrowings under our new UK asset-based 24-month term note, $1.9
million of borrowings under our Malaysia short-term credit facility, and $3.1
million of capital lease obligations. We had two outstanding letters of credit
as of July 3, 2010 in the amounts of $3.5 million and $0.2
million.
In March,
2010, our Sheffield, UK unit obtained a new £3.0 million facility, comprised of
a 24-month asset-based term note and short-term revolver facility. The term note
matures in March 2012 with monthly payments plus interest at 2.75% per year. The
short-term revolver is due on demand and accrues interest at 3.50% per year. As
of July 3, 2010, $2.4 million was outstanding on the term loan and there were no
borrowings on the short-term revolver. The term note and revolver are secured by
certain assets of our Sheffield, UK unit, which had a net book value of
approximately $6.3 million as of July 3, 2010.
The
Senior Credit Agreement contains various financial covenants, including
covenants requiring a maximum total debt to EBITDA ratio, minimum EBITDA to
interest ratio and a minimum EBITDA to fixed charges ratio. The Senior Credit
Agreement also contains covenants restricting certain corporate actions,
including asset dispositions, acquisitions, paying dividends and certain other
restricted payments, changes of control, incurring indebtedness, incurring
liens, making loans and investments and transactions with affiliates. The senior
credit facility is secured by substantially all of the Corporation's assets. The
Corporation's Senior Credit Agreement also contains customary events of
default.
On August 4, 2010, the
Corporation entered into a limited waiver (the “Limited Waiver”) to its Senior
Credit Agreement, dated as of June 13, 2006, by and among the Corporation, Wells
Fargo Bank, National Association (as successor by merger to Wachovia Bank,
National Association), as administrative agent (the “Agent”), and various other
lenders that are party thereto. Subject to certain conditions, the Limited
Waiver provides a waiver of compliance with certain covenants, and related
events of default, set forth in the Credit Facility for the second and third
fiscal quarters of 2010. Specifically, the Limited Waiver waives those certain
events of default that have occurred or are anticipated to occur under the
Credit Facility as a result of or relating to:
(1) Failure of the
Corporation to meet the minimum EBITDA to fixed charges ratio for the second and
third fiscal quarter of 2010, but only to the extent that the Corporation
maintains a ratio of at least 0.90 to 1.0 for the second fiscal quarter of 2010
and a ratio of at least 1.0 to 1.0 for the third fiscal quarter of 2010;
and
(2) The Corporation exceeding
the maximum amount of investments permitted to be made in foreign subsidiaries
for each of the second and third fiscal quarters of 2010, but only to the extent
that the aggregate amount of investments in the Corporation’s foreign
subsidiaries, as of the end of each of the second and third fiscal quarters of
2010, does not exceed $15 million.
The Corporation was in
compliance with all covenants under the Senior Credit Agreement as of July 3,
2010. A copy of the Limited Waiver is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.50 and
incorporated herein by reference.
The Corporation’s Senior
Credit Agreement, including the revolving credit facility, which has a balance
of $83.4 million at July 3, 2010, matures in June 2011. We have begun to explore
refinancing alternatives to pay off the remaining balance and to establish
adequate funds for future expansion. At this time, we believe that we
will have multiple financing options and we anticipate completing a refinancing
in the second half of 2010.

Represents
principal maturities only and, therefore, excludes the effects of interest
and interest rate swaps. Scheduled payments for our Revolving
Credit Facility exclude interest payments as rates are variable.
Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at a variable
rate based on the London Interbank Offer Rate (LIBOR) or a base rate
determined by the lender’s prime rate plus an applicable margin, as
defined in the agreement. The applicable margin for borrowings under
the Amendment ranges from 0.25% to 1.25% for base rate borrowings and
1.25% to 2.25% for LIBOR borrowings, subject to adjustment based on the
average availability under the Revolving Credit
Facility.

For
the purposes of this table, contractual obligations for purchases of goods
or services are defined as agreements that are enforceable and legally
binding and that specify all significant terms, including: fixed or
minimum quantities, fixed, minimum or variable price provisions; and the
approximate timing of the transaction. Our purchase orders are normally
based on our current manufacturing needs and are fulfilled by our vendors
within a short time. We enter into blank orders with vendors that have
preferred pricing terms; however, these orders are normally cancelable by
us without penalty. Amounts predominantly represent purchase agreements to
buy minimum quantities of plastic, cobalt chrome and titanium through
December 2012.
|
This
table does not include liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits of
$6.5 million as reasonable estimates could not be made regarding the timing
of future cash outflows associated with those liabilities.
Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements
Our
off-balance sheet arrangements include our operating leases and letters of
credit, which are available under the senior credit facility. We had two letters
of credit outstanding as of July 3, 2010 in the amounts of $3.5 million and $0.2
million.
Environmental
Our
facilities and operations are subject to extensive federal, state, local and
foreign environmental and occupational health and safety laws and regulations.
These laws and regulations govern, among other things, air emissions; wastewater
discharges; the generation, storage, handling, use and transportation of
hazardous materials; the handling and disposal of hazardous wastes; the cleanup
of contamination; and the health and safety of our employees. Under such laws
and regulations, we are required to obtain permits from governmental authorities
for some of our operations. If we violate or fail to comply with these laws,
regulations or permits, we could be fined or otherwise sanctioned by regulators.
We could also be held responsible for costs and damages arising from any
contamination at our past or present facilities or at third-party waste disposal
sites. We cannot completely eliminate the risk of contamination or injury
resulting from hazardous materials, and we may incur material liability as a
result of any contamination or injury.
We
incurred approximately $0.1 million in capital expenditures for environmental,
health and safety in the six month period ended July 3, 2010 compared to $0.3
million for the comparable 2009 period.
In
connection with past acquisitions, we completed Phase I environmental
assessments and did not identify any significant issues that need to be
remediated. We cannot be certain that environmental issues will not be
discovered or arise in the future related to these acquisitions.
In
conjunction with the New Bedford acquisition in January 2008, we purchased $5.0
million of environmental insurance coverage for this facility. This policy
expires January 25, 2013. While the insurance may mitigate the risk of certain
environmental liabilities, we cannot guarantee that a particular liability will
be covered by this insurance.
18
Based on
information currently available, we do not believe that we have any material
environmental liabilities.
Critical
Accounting Policies and Estimates
The
preparation of our financial statements requires management to make estimates,
judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets,
liabilities, revenues and expenses during the periods presented. Our Annual
Report on Form 10-K for fiscal year ended January 3, 2009 includes a
summary of the critical accounting policies we believe are the most important to
aid in understanding our financial results. There have been no material changes
to these critical accounting policies that impacted our reported amounts of
assets, liabilities, revenues or expenses during the three months ended July 3,
2010.
New
Accounting Pronouncements
Disclosures
about Fair
Value Measurements. In January 2010, the
Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update
(“ASU”) 2010-06, “Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements”. ASU
2010-06 requires additional disclosures about fair value measurements including
transfers in and out of Levels 1 and 2 and a higher level of disaggregation for
the different types of financial instruments. For the reconciliation of Level 3
fair value measurements, information about purchases, sales, issuances and
settlements are presented separately. This standard is effective for interim and
annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009 with the exception of
revised Level 3 disclosure requirements which are effective for interim and
annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2010. Comparative
disclosures are not required in the year of adoption. The Corporation adopted
the provisions of the standard on January 3, 2010, which did not have an impact
on the Corporation’s financial position, results of operations or cash
flows.
ITEM 3.
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
For
financial market risks related to changes in interest rates, foreign currency
exchange rates, commodity prices and the effects of inflation, reference is made
to Item 7a “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market
Risk” contained in Part II of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal
year ended January 2, 2010. Our exposure to these risks, at the end of the
second quarter covered by this report, has not changed materially since January
2, 2010.
ITEM 4.
CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
This
Report includes the certifications of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer required by Rule 13a-14 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(the “Exchange Act”). See Exhibits 31.1 and 31.2. This
Item 4 includes information concerning the controls and control evaluations
referred to in those certifications.
Evaluation
of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure
controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the
Exchange Act) are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed
in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed,
summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and
forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management,
including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, to allow
timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
In
connection with the preparation of this Report, our management, under the
supervision and with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design
and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the
fiscal quarter covered by this report on Form 10-Q. Based on that
evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have
concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of July
3, 2010.
Changes
in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There
have been no changes in our “internal control over financial reporting” (as
defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that occurred during the
fiscal quarter covered by this report on Form 10-Q that has materially
affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control
over financial reporting.

PART II
OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM
1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
SEC
Inquiry
Following
the discovery of the accounting irregularities at our Sheffield, UK operating
unit, the Audit Committee self-reported the matter to the staff of the SEC in
October 2007. Thereafter, the SEC commenced an informal inquiry
regarding this matter.
We have
fully cooperated with the SEC in its investigation. At this time we
are unable to predict the time period necessary to resolve the investigation or
the ultimate resolution thereof. To date, considerable legal, tax and
accounting expenses have been incurred in connection with our Audit Committee’s
investigation into this matter and expenditures may continue to be incurred in
the future with regard to the SEC’s investigation. It is also
possible that the investigation may continue to require management’s time and
attention and accounting and legal resources, which could otherwise be devoted
to the operation of our business. Moreover, any action by the SEC
against us, or members of our management, may cause us to be subject to
injunctions, fines or other penalties or sanctions or result in private civil
actions, loss of key personnel or other adverse consequences and may require us
to devote additional time and resources to these matters. The
investigation may adversely affect our ability to obtain, and /or increase the
cost of obtaining directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and/or other
types of insurance, which could have a material adverse affect on our business,
results of operations and financial condition. In addition, the SEC
investigation and the remedies applied may affect certain of our business
relationships and consequently may have an adverse effect on our business in the
future.
ITEM 1A.
RISK FACTORS
In
addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully
consider the factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A “Risk Factors” contained
in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 2,
2010, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future
results. Except as set forth below, there have been no material changes
from the risk factors disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.
The risk factor under “RISKS RELATED TO OUR INDUSTRY” entitled
“Recent discussion of US
Healthcare reform may impact our medical device customers or business
directly.” is replaced in its entirety by the following:
The impact of the
recently enacted federal healthcare reform legislation on our business remains
uncertain.
In
March 2010, the U.S. Congress adopted and President Obama signed into law
comprehensive health care reform legislation through the passage of the Patient
Protection and Affordable Health Care Act (H.R. 3590) and the Health Care and
Education Reconciliation Act (H.R. 4872). Among other initiatives, these
bills impose a 2.3% excise tax on domestic sales of medical devices following
December 31, 2012, which is estimated to contribute approximately
$27 billion to healthcare reform. Various healthcare reform proposals have
also emerged at the state level. The excise tax may impact results of operations
following December 31, 2012, however we cannot predict with certainty what
healthcare initiatives, if any, will be implemented at the state level, or what
the ultimate effect of federal health care reform or any future legislation or
regulation will have on us.
Many of
the details of the new law will be included in new and revised regulations,
which have not yet been promulgated, and require additional guidance and
specificity to be provided by the Department of Health and Human Services,
Department of Labor and Department of the Treasury. Accordingly, while it is too
early to understand and predict the ultimate impact of the new legislation on
our business, the legislation could have a material adverse effect on our
business, cash flows, financial condition and results of
operations.
