FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

DJO GLOBAL ANNOUNCES FINANCIAL RESULTS FOR THIRD QUARTER 2015

Company announces plan to exit Empi business and focus on higher growth Bracing, Surgical and International segments

SAN DIEGO, CA, November 10, 2015 DJO Global, Inc. (“DJO Global” or the “Company”), a leading global provider of medical device solutions for musculoskeletal health, vascular health and pain management, today announced financial results for its public reporting subsidiary, DJO Finance LLC (“DJOFL”), for the third quarter ended September 26, 2015.

Third Quarter Results

DJOFL achieved net sales for the third quarter of 2015 of $300.0 million, reflecting a decrease of 1.8%, compared to net sales of $305.5 million for the third quarter of 2014. Net sales for the third quarter of 2015 were unfavorably impacted by changes in foreign currency exchange rates compared to the rates in effect in the third quarter of 2014, which resulted in a decrease of net sales of $11.2 million. Excluding the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates from rates in effect in the prior year period (“constant currency”), net sales for the third quarter of 2015 increased by 1.9% compared to net sales for the third quarter of 2014.

Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter of 2015 was $68.9 million, or 23.0% of net sales, reflecting a decrease of 2.1% compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $70.4 million, or 23.0% of net sales, for the third quarter of 2014. On a constant currency basis, Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter of 2015 increased by 3.4% compared to Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter of 2014.

The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as net (loss) income attributable to DJOFL plus interest expense, net, income tax provision (benefit), and depreciation and amortization, further adjusted for certain non-cash items, non-recurring items and other adjustment items as permitted in calculating covenant compliance under the Company’s new senior secured credit facilities (“New Senior Credit Facilities”) and the indentures governing its 8.125% second lien notes, its 10.75% third lien notes and its 9.75% senior subordinated notes. Reconciliation from net loss to Adjusted EBITDA is included in the attached financial tables.

For the third quarter of 2015, DJOFL reported a net loss attributable to DJOFL of $177.8 million, compared to a net loss of $21.2 million for the third quarter of 2014. The loss includes $164.9 million of non-cash impairment charges associated with Empi goodwill and intangible assets.

“Our Bracing, Surgical and International segments continue to perform well. Excluding the Recovery Sciences segment, aggregate net sales from our other business segments for the third quarter of 2015 increased by 8.7% compared to net sales for the third quarter of 2014.” said Mike Mogul, DJO Global’s Chief Executive Officer. “The challenging coverage and reimbursement environment, however, has continued to drive the Recovery Sciences business downward, primarily due to lower sales of Empi products. As a result of these ongoing challenges and despite our actions to improve this business over the past few years, we do not expect the sales and profitability of Empi’s products to return to acceptable levels and therefore have developed a plan to exit the Empi business over the next several months.”

“Despite the many year effort by our Empi team to stabilize this business, the Empi business has created a major revenue and EBITDA headwind for the entire company for the last 4 years. This has hindered not only the company’s performance but as well our ability to focus and execute in faster growing businesses. We are excited about the past, current and future growth trajectory of DJO Global net of the Empi business and will be working with dispatch to execute these changes.”

Sales by Business Segment

Net sales in DJO’s Bracing and Vascular segment were $133.2 million for the third quarter of 2015, reflecting an increase of 3.1%, compared to net sales in the third quarter of 2014, driven by the new account acquisition in our OfficeCare Channel, an increase in third party payor billing and growth in sales of direct consumer products and vascular pumps.

Net sales for DJO’s Recovery Sciences segment were $59.6 million in the third quarter of 2015, reflecting a decrease of 19.4% compared to the third quarter of 2014. This decrease was driven primarily by lower sales of Empi products. The decrease in Empi sales was due to the continued challenging coverage and reimbursement environment, changes to our business processes for Empi products and a restructuring of the Empi selling organization. The loss of sales momentum resulting from these actions had a larger impact than expected. Continued slow market conditions affecting the sale of Chattanooga rehabilitation equipment also contributed to the decrease in this segment’s net sales.

Net sales in the International segment were $69.5 million for the third quarter of 2015, reflecting a decrease of 11.4% compared to net sales for the third quarter of 2014. Excluding the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates from rates in effect in the prior year period, net sales for the third quarter of 2015 increased 2.9% compared to net sales for the third quarter of 2014.

Net sales in the Surgical Implant segment were $37.7 million for the third quarter of 2015, reflecting an increase of 58.0% compared to net sales for the third quarter of 2014, driven by sales of bone cement, which was acquired with the assets from Zimmer Biomet Holdings, Inc. (“Zimmer Biomet”) and strong sales of hip and shoulder products. Revenue from assets acquired from Zimmer Biomet in the third quarter of 2015 was approximately $10.0M in the third quarter.

As of September 26, 2015, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $56.7 million and available liquidity of $144.5 million under its $150 million revolving credit facility.

DJO Finance LLC

Adjusted EBITDA

For the Three and Nine Months Ended September 26, 2015 and September 27, 2014

(unaudited)

Our New Senior Secured Credit Facilities, consisting of a $1,055.0 million term loan facility (including a $20.0 million delayed draw term loan facility) and a $150.0 million revolving credit facility, under which $5.0 million was outstanding as of September 26, 2015, and the Indentures governing our $1,015.0 million of 8.125% second lien notes, $298.5 million of 10.75% third lien notes, and $1.6 million of 9.75% senior subordinated notes (collectively, the “notes”) represent significant components of our capital structure. Under our New Senior Secured Credit Facilities, we are required to maintain a specified senior secured first lien leverage ratio, which is determined based on our Adjusted EBITDA. If we fail to comply with the senior secured first lien leverage ratio under our New Senior Secured Credit Facilities, we would be in default. Upon the occurrence of an event of default under the New Senior Secured Credit Facilities, the lenders could elect to declare all amounts outstanding under the New Senior Secured Credit Facilities to be immediately due and payable and terminate all commitments to extend further credit. If we were unable to repay those amounts, the lenders under the New Senior Secured Credit Facilities could proceed against the collateral granted to them to secure that indebtedness. We have pledged substantially all of our assets as collateral under the New Senior Secured Credit Facilities. Any acceleration under the New Senior Secured Credit Facilities would also result in a default under the Indentures governing the notes, which could lead to the note holders electing to declare the principal, premium, if any, and interest on the then outstanding notes immediately due and payable. In addition, under the Indentures governing the notes, our and our subsidiaries’ ability to engage in activities such as incurring additional indebtedness, making investments, refinancing subordinated indebtedness, paying dividends and entering into certain merger transactions is governed, in part, by our ability to satisfy tests based on Adjusted EBITDA. Our ability to meet the covenants specified in the New Senior Secured Credit Facilities and the Indebtures governing those notes will depend on future events, some of which are beyond our control, and we cannot assure you that we will meet those covenants.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) attributable to DJOFL plus interest expense, net, income tax provision (benefit), and depreciation and amortization, further adjusted for certain non-cash items, non-recurring items and other adjustment items as permitted in calculating covenant compliance and other ratios under our New Senior Secured Credit Facilities and the Indentures governing the notes. We believe that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA is appropriate to provide additional information to investors about the calculation of, and compliance with, certain financial covenants and other ratios in our New Senior Secured Credit Facilities and the Indentures governing the notes. Adjusted EBITDA is a material component of these calculations.

Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) or other performance measures presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), or as an alternative to cash flow from operations as a measure of our liquidity. Adjusted EBITDA does not represent net income (loss) or cash flow from operations as those terms are defined by GAAP and does not necessarily indicate whether cash flows will be sufficient to fund cash needs. In particular, the definition of Adjusted EBITDA under our New Senior Secured Credit Facilities and the Indentures governing the notes allows us to add back certain non-cash, extraordinary, unusual or non-recurring charges that are deducted in calculating net income (loss). However, these are expenses that may recur, vary greatly and are difficult to predict. While Adjusted EBITDA and similar measures are frequently used as measures of operations and the ability to meet debt service requirements, Adjusted EBITDA is not necessarily comparable to other similarly titled captions of other companies due to the potential inconsistencies in the method of calculation.
