Fourth Quarter Financial Results

Revenue for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2014 increased $6.7 million, or 15.7%, to $49.3 million, compared to $42.6 million in the same period of the prior year. Total revenue increased 16.2% year-over-year on a constant currency basis in the fourth quarter.

Geographically, revenue in the United States increased $7.1 million, or 24.6% year-over-year, to $35.7 million, and our international revenue decreased $0.4 million, or 2.6% compared to the same period in the prior year, to $13.6 million.

Gross profit for the fourth quarter of 2014 increased 21.2% to $33.1 million, compared to $27.3 million for the same period last year, representing a gross margin of 67.1%, as compared to 64.1% for the same period of 2013. Gross profit included amortization expense on investments in surgical instruments and the medical device excise tax. Amortization expense increased $1.1 million, or 69.4%, to $2.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2014, representing approximately 5.5% of sales. The medical device excise tax in the United States was approximately $0.6 million, or approximately 1.2% of sales, for the three months ended December 31, 2014.

Operating expenses for the fourth quarter of 2014 increased $1.6 million, or 4.0%, to $41.6 million, compared to $40.0 million for the same period last year. The increase in operating expenses was driven primarily by the expansion of the sales team. This investment has driven an increase in sales commissions as a result of increased sales volumes and increased employee compensation costs due to incremental direct sales employees compared to the same period last year.

Loss from operations for the fourth quarter of 2014 was $8.6 million, compared to $12.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2013. Loss from operations included intangible amortization of $2.6 million and $7.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2014 and 2013, respectively. Net loss attributable to common stockholders for the fourth quarter of 2014 was $(11.1) million, or $(0.30) per diluted share, compared to $(17.6) million, or $(0.79) per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2013. Net loss attributable to common stockholders included the impact of primarily non-realized foreign currency transaction losses of $(2.6) million, or $(0.07) per diluted share, compared to primarily non-realized foreign currency transaction gain of $0.8 million, or $0.40 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013. Foreign currency translation gain/loss impacted operating results due to changes in the average exchange rates of the U.S. Dollar, Pound Sterling and Euro applied to intercompany transactions in both periods.

As of December 31, 2014, cash and cash equivalents were $11.4 million compared to $7.4 million as of December 31, 2013. Working capital was $69.7 million compared to $32.5 million as of December 31, 2013. As of December 31, 2014, we had no outstanding indebtedness and borrowing capacity of $32.6 million.

New Product Approvals, Introductions and Launches

During the fourth quarter, K2M continued to expand its complex spine portfolio by obtaining 510(k) clearance and CE Mark for CAPRI™ Corpectomy Cage System, an expandable vertebral body replacement device that provides structural stability following a corpectomy or vertebrectomy. The CAPRI Corpectomy Cage System is intended for use in the thoracolumbar spine (T1 to L5) to replace collapsed, damaged or unstable vertebral bodies due to tumor or trauma (i.e., fracture).

Fiscal Year 2014 Financial Results

Revenue for fiscal year 2014 increased $29.1 million, or 18.5%, to $186.7 million, compared to $157.6 million in fiscal year 2013. The increase was largely attributable to $13.2 million in greater sales volume in the United States due to continued expansion of our customer base, as well as increased volume within our existing United States customer base of $7.2 million and growth in our international distributor markets of $5.3 million.

Revenue in the United States increased $21.3 million, or 19.1% year-over-year, to $133.1 million, and international revenue increased $7.8 million, or 16.9% year-over-year, to $53.6 million. Fiscal year 2014 international revenue increased 15.8% year-over-year on a constant-currency basis.

By procedure category, U.S. revenue in our Complex Spine, MIS and degenerative categories represented 40.6%, 15.5% and 43.9% of U.S. revenue, respectively, for the twelve months ended December 31, 2014.

Gross profit for fiscal year 2014 increased 15.4% to $123.9 million, compared to $107.4 million for fiscal year 2013. Gross margin decreased from 68.2% to 66.4%, due to changes in the mix of products sold in the United States, pricing declines in the United States and select international markets, and higher instrument amortization expense.

Operating expenses for fiscal year 2014 increased $19.5 million, or 12.8%, to $171.8 million, compared to $152.3 million for fiscal year 2013. The increase in operating expenses was driven primarily by increased sales and marketing expenses due to the hiring of direct sales employees and an increase in R&D expenses related to development activities in the product pipeline.

Reconciliation of GAAP Net Loss to Adjusted EBITDA
(Unaudited)
(In Thousands)

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release includes the non-GAAP financial measures of revenue in constant currency, Adjusted EBITDA and pro forma net loss per share.

We present these non-GAAP measures because we believe these measures are useful indicators of our operating performance. Our management uses these non-GAAP measures principally as a measure of our operating performance and believes that these measures are useful to investors because they are frequently used by analysts, investors and other interested parties to evaluate companies in our industry. We also believe that these measures are useful to our management and investors as a measure of comparative operating performance from period to period.

Constant currency information compares results between periods as if exchange rates had remained constant period-to-period. In this release, the Company calculates constant currency by calculating current-year results using prior-year foreign currency exchange rates.

Adjusted EBITDA represents net loss plus interest expense, discount on prepayment of notes to stockholders, income tax benefit, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense and foreign currency transaction loss (gain).

We present Adjusted EBITDA because we believe it is a useful indicator of our operating performance. Our management uses Adjusted EBITDA principally as a measure of our operating performance and for planning purposes, including the preparation of our annual operating budget and financial projections. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors because it is frequently used by analysts, investors and other interested parties to evaluate companies in our industry. We also believe Adjusted EBITDA is useful to our management and investors as a measure of comparative operating performance from period to period.

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure and should not be considered as an alternative to net loss as a measure of financial performance or cash flows from operations as a measure of liquidity, or any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP and it should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA is not intended to be a measure of free cash flow for management’s discretionary use, as it does not reflect certain cash requirements such as tax payments, debt service requirements, capital expenditures and certain other cash costs that may recur in the future. Adjusted EBITDA contains certain other limitations, including the failure to reflect our cash expenditures, cash requirements for working capital needs and cash costs to replace assets being depreciated and amortized. In evaluating Adjusted EBITDA, you should be aware that in the future we may incur expenses that are the same as or similar to some of the adjustments in this presentation. Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed to imply that our future results will be unaffected by any such adjustments. Management compensates for these limitations by primarily relying on our GAAP results in addition to using Adjusted EBITDA supplementally. Our definition of Adjusted EBITDA is not necessarily comparable to other similarly titled captions of other companies due to different methods of calculation.

The following table presents a reconciliation of net loss to Adjusted EBITDA for the periods presented.

Pro forma net loss per share gives pro forma effect to the issuance of shares in the Company’s initial public offering ("IPO")
and the reversal of the (1) accretion or write-up of preferred stock, (2) discount on the prepayment of notes to stockholders and
(3) interest expense on notes to stockholders and line of credit, in each case as if our IPO had occurred on the first day of the period. In connection with our IPO, our preferred stock converted into common stock and we used a portion of the IPO proceeds to pay accrued dividends on our preferred stock and to repay our stockholder notes and borrowings under our revolving line of credit.
