Exactech Q1 Revenue $61.4 Million. Net Income Down 2% to $4.1 Million. Diluted EPS $0.29 vs. $0.30.

Gainesville, Fla. - April 28, 2015 -- Exactech, Inc. (Nasdaq: EXAC), a developer and producer of bone and joint restoration products for hip, knee, shoulder, spine and biologic materials, announced today revenue of $61.4 million for the first quarter of 2015, a 3% decrease from $63.3 million in the first quarter of 2014. On a constant currency basis, revenue was flat. Net income was $4.1 million, or $0.29 per diluted share, compared to $4.2 million, or $0.30 per diluted share, in the same quarter a year ago.

First Quarter Segment Performance
The first quarter of 2015 was significantly impacted by a weakened Euro and Japanese Yen relative to the U.S. Dollar. The following are company revenue results, as well as adjusted revenue comparisons on a constant currency basis:
Extremity implant revenue increased 7% to $21.1 million, a 9% constant currency increase
Knee implant revenue decreased 10% to $18.4 million, a 6% constant currency decrease
Hip implant revenue increased 1% to $11.0 million, a 7% constant currency increase
Biologic and Spine revenue decreased 12% to $5.1 million, an 8% constant currency decrease
Other revenue decreased 10% to $5.8 million, an 8% constant currency decrease

Management Comment
Exactech CEO and President David Petty said, “Worldwide sales decreased 3% to $61.4 million. U.S. sales were down 1% to $41.2 million compared with $41.6 million in the first quarter a year ago. International sales decreased 7% to $20.1 million. U.S. sales represented 67% of total sales and international sales were 33% of the total. On a constant currency basis, international sales increased 3% and worldwide sales were flat for the quarter. At current rates we are expecting foreign currency challenges in the second quarter. Sales were softer than planned in part resulting from sales organization transition and improvement activities that we expect will begin delivering positive results in the second half of this year. Major product development projects for revision hip, knee and shoulder systems remain on track and we plan to be doing surgeries with all three revision systems in the second half of this year as well.”

Chief Financial Officer Jody Phillips said, “Gross margins decreased to 70% from 71% for the first quarter a year ago due to the anticipated impact of pricing. Total operating expenses for the quarter decreased 4% to $36.7 million and as a percentage of sales were 60%, the same as the first quarter of 2014. General and administrative expenses increased 1% in the first quarter at $5.8 million and sales and marketing expenses decreased 8% to $21.9 million. Research and development expenses increased 8% to $4.5 million during the first quarter reflecting ongoing significant investment in our new product pipeline and the integration of the Blue Ortho acquisition. Our forward looking guidance has been adjusted for the first quarter’s results as well as the anticipated full year impact of current currency exchange rates.

Looking forward, Exactech updated its 2015 revenue guidance to $248-$254 million and its diluted EPS target to $1.18 - $1.24. For the second quarter ending June 30, 2015, the company said it anticipates
