Fiscal 2015 and First Quarter Outlook

For the first quarter of 2015, the company expects revenues to be between $66 million and $67 million, and net income per fully diluted common share to be approximately $0.03, based on 57.5 million fully diluted shares outstanding.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement RTI Surgical’s condensed consolidated financial statements presented on a GAAP basis, the Company discloses certain non-GAAP financial measures that exclude certain amounts, including adjusted net income (loss) applicable to common shares, adjusted net income (loss) per fully diluted share and adjusted EBITDA. These non-GAAP financial measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative for, generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. Reconciliations of each of these non-GAAP financial measures to the corresponding GAAP measures are included in the reconciliation above.

The following are explanations of the adjustments that management excluded as part of adjusted measures for the three and twelve month period ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 as well as the reasons for excluding the individual item:

2014 and 2013 Inventory purchase accounting adjustment – This adjustment represents the purchase price effects on the sale of acquired Pioneer inventory, which have been included in costs of processing and distribution. Management removes the amount of these nonrecurring costs from the Company’s operating results to assist in assessing its operating performance in the periods affected and to supplement a comparison to the Company’s past operating performance.

2014 Severance Charges – This adjustment represents a charge and relates to certain expenses associated with the severance costs associated with former employees. Management removes the amount of these severance costs from the Company’s operating results to assist in assessing its operating performance in the periods affected and to supplement a comparison to the Company’s past operating performance.

2013 Restructuring charges – This adjustment represents a charge and relates to the severance of certain employees and an office closure as a result of the integration activities following the acquisition of Pioneer. Management removes the amount of these one-time fees from the Company’s operating results to assist in assessing its operating performance in the periods affected and to supplement a comparison to the Company’s past operating performance.

2013 Acquisition expenses – This adjustment represents a charge and relates to certain fees associated with the acquisition of Pioneer. Management removes the amount of these one-time fees from the Company’s operating results to assist in assessing its operating performance in the periods affected and to supplement a comparison to the Company’s past operating performance.

2013 Integration expenses – This adjustment represents a charge and relates to certain expenses associated with the integration of Pioneer. Management removes the amount of these one-time fees from the Company’s operating results to assist in assessing its operating performance in the periods affected and to supplement a comparison to the Company’s past operating performance.

2014 and 2013 Litigation settlement charge – This adjustment represents a charge and relates to a litigation settlement of an international distributor dispute in 2014 and certain BTS related lawsuits in 2013. Management removes the amount of the litigation settlement charge from the Company’s operating results to assist in assessing its operating performance in the period affected and to supplement a comparison to the Company’s past operating performance.

Material Limitations Associated with the Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted net income (loss) applicable to common shares, adjusted net income (loss) per fully diluted share, and adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation, or as a replacement for GAAP measures.

Usefulness of Non-GAAP Financial Measures to Investors

The Company believes that presenting adjusted net income (loss) applicable to common shares, adjusted net income (loss) per fully diluted share, and adjusted EBITDA in addition to the related GAAP measures provide investors greater transparency to the information used by management in its financial decision-making which excludes the inventory purchase accounting adjustment, acquisition expenses, integration expenses, severance costs, and, the litigation settlement charge. The Company further believes that providing this information better enables RTI Surgical’s investors to understand the Company’s overall core performance and to evaluate the methodology used by management to assess and measure such performance.
