Orthofix International Reports Second Quarter 2017 Financial Results

 

Second Quarter Highlights

 

Net sales of $108.9 million, an increase of 4.7% compared to prior year or 5.1% on a constant currency basis

 

Biologics sales of $15.7 million, an increase of 9.9% compared to prior year

 

Spine Fixation sales of $21.4 million, an increase of 17.1% compared to prior year

LEWISVILLE, Texas — August 7, 2017 — Orthofix International N.V. (NASDAQ:OFIX) today reported its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2017.  Net sales were $108.9 million, diluted earnings per share from continuing operations was $0.26 and adjusted earnings per share from continuing operations was $0.42.  

“The key take-away from the second quarter is the strong sales performance of our Biologics and Spine Fixation businesses.  Both have averaged mid-single digit year-over-year growth over the last three quarters,” said Brad Mason, President and Chief Executive Officer.  “We believe these growth rates are sustainable in both businesses due to the renewed engagement of our sales partners, the addition of new distributors in underserved markets and our flow of new products to the field.

“The BioStim and Extremity Fixation businesses also performed better than we expected in the second quarter with BioStim delivering another solid top line performance and, when excluding planned subsidiary restructuring and the loss of sales due to the discontinuation of a non-core business last year, Extremity Fixation delivered good constant currency growth.

“Our bottom line performance was in line with our expectations for the period.  Our primary focus this year is investing in the areas necessary to support a sustainable increase to our top line growth rate, rather than margin expansion.  As we move into next year, without sacrificing our top line growth, we expect to return to adjusted EBITDA margin expansion as a result of a number of opportunities we see across the P&L.”

Gross profit increased $4.2 million to $85.8 million. Gross margin improved slightly to 78.7% compared to 78.4% in the prior year period, which was slightly below our expectations due primarily to larger than usual inventory reserve expenses. Non-GAAP net margin, an internal metric that we define as gross profit less sales and marketing expenses, was $35.3 million compared to $35.5 million in the prior year period.  The decrease in non-GAAP net margin was primarily due to higher sales and marketing expenses in Biologics and Extremity Fixation.

Net income from continuing operations was $4.7 million, or $0.26 per share, compared to net loss of ($6.3) million, or ($0.35) per share in the prior year period. Adjusted net income from continuing operations was $7.8 million, or $0.42 per share, compared to adjusted net income of $7.5 million, or $0.40 per share in the prior year period.

EBITDA was $14.0 million, compared to $2.6 million in the prior year period. Adjusted EBITDA was $20.5 million, or 18.8% of net sales, for the second quarter, compared to $19.2 million, or 18.5% of net sales, in the prior year period.


 

 

Liquidity

As of June 30, 2017, cash and cash equivalents were $44.3 million compared to $39.6 million as of December 31, 2016. As of June 30, 2017, we had no outstanding indebtedness and borrowing capacity of $125 million. Cash flow from operations decreased $11.6 million to $9.7 million and free cash flow decreased $9.9 million to $1.1 million.

Non-GAAP Measures:

Constant Currency

Constant currency is a non-GAAP measure, which is calculated by using foreign currency rates from the comparable, prior-year period, to present net sales at comparable rates. Constant currency can be presented for numerous GAAP measures, but is most commonly used by management to analyze net sales without the impact of changes in foreign currency rates.

 

EBITDA

EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure, which is calculated by adding interest income (expense), net; income tax expense; and depreciation and amortization to net income (loss) from continuing operations. EBITDA provides management with additional insight to its results of operations.

 

Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income from Continuing Operations and Adjusted Earnings per Share from Continuing Operations

These non-GAAP financial measures provide management with additional insight to its results of operations and are calculated using the following adjustments:

 

Share-based compensation – costs related to our share-based compensation plans, which include stock options, restricted stock awards, performance-based restricted stock awards, market-based restricted stock awards and our stock purchase plan

 

Foreign exchange impact – gains and losses related to foreign currency transactions; guidance presented does not include the impact of any future foreign exchange fluctuations

 

Strategic investments – costs related to our strategic investments, including our investment in eNeura, Inc.

 

SEC / FCPA matters and related costs – legal and other professional fees associated with the SEC Investigation, Securities Class Action Complaint and Brazil subsidiary compliance review

 

Infrastructure investments – costs associated with our multi-year process and systems improvement effort, "Bluecore,” which was completed in 2016

 

Legal judgments/settlements – adverse or favorable legal judgments or negotiated legal settlements

 

International restructuringcosts related to a planned restructuring, primarily consisting of severance charges and the write-down of certain assets

 

Charges related to U.S. Government resolutions – charges related to the settlement with the SEC as further discussed in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016

 

Long-term income tax rate adjustment – reflects management’s expectation of a long-term normalized effective tax rate of 38%, which is based on current tax law and current expected income; actual tax expense will ultimately be based on GAAP performance and may differ from the 38% effective tax rate due to a variety of factors, including the jurisdictions in which profits are determined to be earned and taxed, the resolutions of issues arising from tax audits with various tax authorities, and the ability to realize deferred tax assets

 

Non-GAAP Net Margin

Non-GAAP net margin is an internal non-GAAP metric, which we define as gross profit less sales and marketing expense. Non-GAAP net margin is the primary metric used by our Chief Operating Decision Maker in managing our business.

 

Free Cash Flow

Free cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure, which is calculated by subtracting capital expenditures from cash flow from operating activities. Free cash flow is an important indicator of how much cash is generated or used by our normal business operations, including capital expenditures. Management uses free cash flow as a measure of progress on its capital efficiency and cash flow initiatives.

 

Usefulness and Limitations of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Management uses non-GAAP measures to evaluate performance period-over-period, to analyze the underlying trends in our business, to assess performance relative to competitors and to establish operational goals and forecasts that are used in allocating

resources. Management uses these non-GAAP measures as the basis for assessing the ability of the underlying operations to generate cash. In addition, management uses these non-GAAP measures to further its understanding of the performance of our business units.

 

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

The non-GAAP measures used in this press release may have limitations as analytical tools, and should not be considered in isolation or as a replacement for GAAP financial measures. Some of the limitations associated with the use of these non-GAAP financial measures are that they exclude items that reflect an economic cost and can have a material effect on cash flows. Similarly, certain non-cash expenses, such as share-based compensation, do not directly impact cash flows, but are part of total compensation costs accounted for under GAAP.

 

Compensation for Limitations Associated with Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We compensate for the limitations of our non-GAAP financial measures by relying upon GAAP results to gain a complete picture of our performance. The GAAP results provide the ability to understand our performance based on a defined set of criteria. The non-GAAP measures reflect the underlying operating results of our businesses, which we believe is an important measure of our overall performance. We provide a detailed reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to our most directly comparable GAAP measures, and encourage investors to review this reconciliation.

 

Usefulness of Non-GAAP Financial Measures to Investors

We believe that providing non-GAAP financial measures that exclude certain items provides investors with greater transparency to the information used by senior management in its financial and operational decision-making. Management believes it is important to provide investors with the same non-GAAP metrics it uses to supplement information regarding the performance and underlying trends of our business operations in order to facilitate comparisons to its historical operating results and internally evaluate the effectiveness of our operating strategies. Disclosure of these non-GAAP financial measures also facilitates comparisons of our underlying operating performance with other companies in the industry that also supplement their GAAP results with non-GAAP financial measures.
