Second Quarter Financial Results 

Net revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2012, increased 18.0% to $19.7 million as compared to $16.7 million in the second quarter of 2011. The revenue improvement resulted primarily from the addition of service contracts signed with new jurisdictions since April 1, 2011. Revenues also increased as a result of the expansion of services under existing contracts and price increases related to existing services, partially offset by revenue declines related to business decisions to exit specific less profitable markets.

 

Total healthcare expenses for the quarter ended June 30, 2012 were $16.1 million compared to $13.6 million in the 2011 second quarter. The increase primarily reflects salaries and benefits for the additional new healthcare employees required to service the new contracts as well as increased medical expenses primarily related to new contracts.

  

 
 

  

Gross profit increased to $3.6 million from $3.0 million in the prior year quarter, while gross margin improved to 18.2% from 18.1% in the second quarter of 2011.

  

Selling and administrative expenses for the quarter were $2.7 million or 13.9% of revenue, compared to $2.8 million or 17.0% of revenue for the prior year quarter. The decrease primarily reflects lower business taxes, partially offset by increased investment in additional management and administrative personnel.

  

Depreciation and amortization was $139,000 in the second quarter of 2012 compared to $160,000 for the same period of 2011. The decrease reflects lower amortization expense, since a number of the individual service contracts previously acquired have become fully amortized. Our depreciation and amortization schedule on these contracts is more fully described in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.

 

As a result, total operating expenses were $2.9 million in the second quarter of 2012 compared to $3.0 million in the second quarter of 2011. Operating expenses as a percentage of revenue decreased to 14.6% from 18.0% in the year-ago period.

 

Conmed reported record operating income of approximately $717,000 in the second quarter of 2012, compared to operating income of approximately $27,000 in the second quarter last year.

 

Net income for the quarter was $360,000, or $0.03 per basic and $0.02 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $139,000 or ($0.01) per basic and diluted share in the second quarter of 2011, representing an $499,000 increase in net income.

 

For the second quarter of 2012, adjusted EBITDA*, a non-GAAP measure, increased to $1.1 million as compared to approximately $0.3 million in the second quarter last year.

 

Cash and Equivalents 

The Company generated approximately $2.4 million in operating cash flow in the six month period ended June 30, 2012. Cash and cash equivalents were $17.5 million at June 30, 2012, compared to $16.4 million at December 31, 2011. Stockholders’ equity increased to $22.6 million at June 30, 2012, compared to $19.3 million at December 31, 2011. Days Sales Outstanding (DSO) as of June 30, 2012, was approximately 16.3 days. The Company remains debt-free.

 

During the second quarter of 2011, we recognized a realized loss of $41,400 primarily related to warrants subject to derivative accounting treatment that were exercised and transferred to equity treatment. There was no comparable loss in the second quarter of 2012. In addition, during the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, we recorded an unrealized loss of $2,600 and $184,000, respectively, primarily the result of fewer warrants subject to fair value accounting during the second quarter of 2012 due to the exercise of all but 80,000 of the outstanding warrants coupled with the smaller increase in our stock price, which rose $0.06 during the second quarter of 2012, compared to a $0.38 stock price increase in the prior year quarter**.

  

*Use of Non-GAAP Measures

In addition to containing results that are determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), this press release also contains non-GAAP financial measures. Adjusted EBITDA, as used in this press release, represents net income (loss) from continuing operations before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, adjusted for stock-based compensation and gains or losses on fair value of derivative financial instruments. Adjusted EBITDA is a key indicator used by management to evaluate operating performance. While adjusted EBITDA is not intended to replace any presentation included in the consolidated financial statements under GAAP and should not be considered an alternative to operating performance or an alternative to cash flow as a measure of liquidity, the Company believes this measure is useful to investors in assessing the Company’s capital expenditures and working capital requirements. This calculation may differ in method of calculation from similarly titled measures used by other companies. A reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to the nearest comparable GAAP financial measure is included in the financial schedules accompanying this press release. The adjusted financial measure, as well as other information in this press release, should be read in conjunction with the Company’s financial statements filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

**Derivative Accounting for Warrants that are Indexed to an Entity’s Own Stock:

Effective January 1, 2009, we adopted derivative accounting for warrants that are indexed to an entity’s own stock. We are required to record a non-cash charge to our GAAP results and thus our financial statements will continue to include this charge going forward until certain events occur and/or conditions are met, as defined in the new regulations. As a result of the Company’s adoption of this accounting standard effective January 1, 2009, approximately 1.7 million of our issued and outstanding common stock purchase warrants previously treated as equity pursuant to the derivative treatment exemption were no longer afforded equity treatment and as a result they have been recorded as a liability based on fair value estimates. These common stock purchase warrants do not trade in an active securities market, and as such, we estimate the fair value of these warrants using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and all changes in the fair value of these warrants will be recognized currently in earnings until such time as the warrants are exercised or expire.
