in the U.S. domestic market and robust growth in the Asian and Latin American markets all contributed to a solid performance.

“We are especially pleased with the 44% increase in net income for 2012 compared to 2011. That reflected not only lower compliance costs, but also robust sales throughout our organization and focused efforts to control costs and increase margins through greater efficiencies. Great credit is due to the people of Exactech around the world, who performed exceptionally well and deserve full recognition for our ongoing success.”
 
Exactech President David Petty said, “We continue to be enthusiastic about the market acceptance of our new product introductions and the results of the investments that we are making in R&D. Nothing characterizes this more than the exceptional growth rates of our shoulder replacement products. We have now led the industry in growth in this category for several years, which validates our leadership in providing meaningful clinical solutions for shoulder patients.

“Exactech hips also grew substantially above market rates at 21% even prior to new product launches planned for 2013. We are highly encouraged by early results from the limited release of our Element line extension and our new Crown Cup® acetabular system with InteGrip™ technology.

“Our knee products developed fresh momentum in the fourth quarter as we continued to transition to our new Optetrak Logic® platform. Additionally, business growth in Asia and Latin America was important to our 2012 results with strong hip and knee performance in Asia and hip, knee and shoulder growth in Latin America.”

During the fourth quarter International sales grew 10% to $21.0 million. U.S. sales increased 13% to $38.3 million. For the full year 2012, U.S. sales increased 9% to $145.6 million, and international sales were up 9% to $78.7 million.

Chief Financial Officer Jody Phillips said, “Operationally, we made significant improvements during 2012. Gross margins increased to 69.4% for 2012 from 68.4% in 2011 due to continued cost reductions attributable to internal manufacturing. Total operating expenses for the year increased 6% to $134.3 million and as a percentage of sales decreased to 59.8% from 61.7% for 2011. General and administrative expenses decreased 8% for 2012 to $20.1 million from $22.0 million, primarily due to a reduction in compliance costs. Sales and marketing expenses increased 6% to $82.0 million primarily due to variable selling expenses. Research and development expenses increased 29% to $16.8 million during 2012 as we continue to actively invest in our new product pipeline.”

Looking forward, Exactech released its initial 2013 revenue guidance of $236-$242 million and diluted EPS target of $1.03-$1.09. For the first quarter of 2013, the company anticipates revenues of $60-$62 million and diluted EPS of $0.28-$0.30 including an estimated $0.03 benefit due to the reinstatement of the Research and Development tax credit. The foregoing statements regarding targets for the quarter and full year are forward-looking and actual results may differ materially. These are the company's targets, not predictions of actual performance.
