Management Comment
Exactech CEO and President David Petty said, “We are pleased with our strong performance in 2016 and we believe we are well positioned for another solid year in 2017. The 2016 results reflect excellent surgeon acceptance of Exactech innovations, including our three new revision systems, as well as the positive impact of our sales channel development strategy.
“Total sales for the year were up 7% to $257.6 million. Domestic revenue increased 5% to $176.8 million, and international revenue increased 10% to $80.8 million. For the fourth quarter of 2016, total sales rose 6% to $66.2 million. Domestic sales were up 1% to $45.3 million and International sales increased 17% to $20.9 million.
“We are enthusiastic about a return to double-digit growth in our extremities business, Exactech’s largest operating segment, which led the way with a 16% gain while reaching a milestone of $100 million in annual revenue. Once again this underscores the market’s support for our comprehensive Equinoxe® shoulder system and its highly competitive range of glenoid solutions along with the early acceptance of our Equinoxe Humeral Reconstruction Prosthesis. We were also pleased to begin cases with our new Vantage® Total Ankle System. We recorded another solid year in our knee segment with a 4% gain as we ramped up the revision knee rollout in the fourth quarter which should carry momentum into 2017. Our hip segment revenues rose 8% reflecting contributions from the increased availability of the Alteon® Monoblock Revision Hip Stem.
“Looking ahead, we plan to launch a new comprehensive knee system, TruliantTM, during the second half of 2017. We are expanding our ExactechGPS® computer assisted surgery system from one to four applications including two additions to further support knee surgery as well as our first application for the shoulder. We will continue to execute our sales force development initiative, which has been an important contributor to our growth. These plans, in addition to our decision to exit the spine business and some other strategic restructuring, position Exactech for improved profitability in 2017 and beyond. We are proud of Exactech people around the world who remain dedicated to making the company and our products better than ever,” Petty said.
Chief Financial Officer Jody Phillips said, “We are optimistic about 2017 based on the momentum in revenue growth in our large joint segments in the latter portion of 2016. The $14.5 million net of tax in impairment and restructuring charges, primarily related to the spine business, were largely

non-cash in nature and put us in a solid position to focus on driving sales growth and operating margin expansion going forward. Due to profitability challenges in certain European and Asian markets, we also recognized $2.2 million in tax valuation allowances during the fourth quarter that significantly impacted our effective tax rate, net income and diluted earnings per share. On an adjusted basis, excluding the impact of the restructuring, impairment and tax valuation charges, our fourth quarter and full year net income was within the range of our original expectations for 2016 and adjusted diluted earnings per share was $1.18 for the full year and $0.34 for the fourth quarter. A detailed reconciliation of this adjusted basis income and diluted earnings per share is provided later in this press release. Full year gross margins decreased to 68.8% from 69.6% primarily due to currency and pricing pressures in our international business. During the first quarter of 2017, we are anticipating an additional $0.9 million in charges related to the divestiture of the spine assets which is expected to impact first quarter diluted earnings per share by $0.04.”
Looking forward, Exactech confirmed 2017 revenue guidance of $264-$272 million and diluted EPS target of $1.20-$1.28, including the impact of the first quarter $0.04 diluted earnings per share charge related to the spine business transition. On an adjusted basis diluted EPS target is $1.24-$1.32. For the first quarter of 2017, the company anticipates revenues of $66-$68 million and diluted EPS of $0.26-$0.28, including the first quarter charges. On an adjusted basis diluted EPS target is $0.30-$0.32 for the first quarter of 2017.The foregoing statements regarding targets for the quarter and full year are forward-looking and actual results may differ materially. These are the company’s targets, not predictions of actual performance.

Non-GAAP Disclosure and Reconciliation
We present certain non-GAAP results as a supplement to our financial results based on GAAP, as we believe it is useful to exclude certain items in order to focus on what we regard to be a more reliable indicator of the underlying operating performance of our business. Because we operate internationally, we present the percentage change in sales by reporting segment on a constant currency basis, which is a non-GAAP financial measure. We calculate this change on a constant currency basis by translating current period sales at the comparable average historical exchange rates for the same period in the prior year. We believe that presenting the percentage change in sales on a constant currency basis assists in the understanding of actual sales fluctuations by excluding the impact of foreign currency fluctuations.
Additionally, we report on a non-GAAP basis adjusted net income and adjusted diluted earnings per share excluding certain charges related to restructuring activities, asset impairment charges, tax valuation allowances, and asset sale gains or losses. We believe the exclusion of these charges provides the reader with more comparable financials to better analyze historical company trends. The following items have been adjusted to assist in the comparability:
• | Discontinuation of an international distributor and the gross margin impact of expected sales return due to dissolution of the agreement; |
• | Restructuring related charges including legal and compensation charges; |
• | Gain on sale of a product line in 2015 |
• | Tangible and intangible asset impairment of our spine assets as a result of annual testing and subsequent sale of spine assets; |
• | Impairment of biologics assets related to the abandonment of our cartilage project; |
• | Biologics and spine goodwill impairment, resulting from the annual goodwill impairment test; |
• | Tax benefit resulting from the impairment and restructuring charges; and |
• | Tax valuation allowances related to continued losses of certain foreign subsidiaries. |
