Exactech Q1 Revenue Up 6% to $69.5 Million on 21% Extremities Growth
Q1 Net Income $4.6 Million; Diluted EPS $0.32


Gainesville, Fla. - April 25, 2017 - Exactech, Inc. (Nasdaq: EXAC), a developer and producer of bone and joint restoration products and biologic solutions for extremities, knee and hip, announced today that revenue for the first quarter of 2017 increased 6% to $69.5 million from $65.3 million in the first quarter of 2016, and 7% on a constant currency basis. Domestic revenue increased 7% to $47.7 million and international revenue increased 5% to $21.8 million in the first quarter of 2017. Diluted earnings per share for the first quarter was $0.32 based on net income of $4.6 million, compared to first quarter 2016 net income of $4.4 million and diluted earnings per share of $0.31.

First Quarter Segment Performance
Extremity revenues increased 21% to $30.0 million from $24.8 million, a 21% constant currency increase
Knee revenue increased 1% to $20.0 million from $19.8 million, a 1% constant currency increase
Hip revenue increased 6% to $12.1 million from $11.4 million, a 6% constant currency increase
Other revenues decreased 20% to $7.3 million from $9.2 million, a 19% constant currency decrease. The Other segment includes an aggregation of the former Biologics and Spine segment

Management Comment
Exactech CEO and President David Petty said, “With three new revision systems now in full launch, we leveraged our sales channel and improvements in our supply chain to deliver a strong start to 2017. The innovative features of our Optetrak Logic® CC revision knee and Alteon® Monobloc hip systems continue to attract new surgeons, improve patient outcomes and post growth in those segments. Our extremities business continued to accelerate, attracting record attendance at our global medical education programs. At the ten-year clinical milestone, our Equinoxe® reverse platform shoulder system remains a core driver of customer satisfaction while new products like our humeral reconstruction prosthesis contribute to a robust new customer pipeline.

“The sales increase of 6% to $69.5 million was above our expectations as domestic revenue increased 7% to $47.7 million, and excluding the impact of the divested US spine assets during

the quarter, domestic sales increased 11%. International revenue increased 5% to $21.8 million, and a 7% increase on a constant currency basis,” Petty said.

Chief Financial Officer Jody Phillips said, “Gross margins increased to 70% from 69% for the first quarter a year ago due to strength in our US extremities business. Total operating expenses for the quarter increased 10% to $42.5 million primarily due to heavy investments we continue to make in our product development pipeline with research and development expenses increasing 23% during the quarter. Sales and marketing expenses increased 7% to $25.1 million due to variable selling expenses and investments in our medical education and training programs. Transition costs associated with divestiture of our spine assets were less than originally projected at a total of $0.5 million resulting in a $0.02 diluted EPS impact on the quarter and as a result we produced a net income increase of 4% to $4.6 million for the quarter.

Looking forward, Exactech updated 2017 revenue guidance to $266-$272 million and increased diluted EPS target to $1.24-$1.30, including the impact of the first quarter $0.02 diluted earnings per share costs related to the spine business transition. On an adjusted basis, the diluted EPS target is $1.26-$1.32. For the second quarter of 2017, the company anticipates revenues of $66.5-$68.5 million and diluted EPS of $0.32-$0.34. 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 sales, gross margin, operating expenses, income, and diluted earnings per share excluding charges related to the spine assets we sold January 2017. We believe the exclusion of spine sales and costs provides the reader with more comparable financials to better analyze the reported periods. The following items have been adjusted:

Sales, cost of goods sold, and operating expenses from our spine products
Transition charges related to the sale of our spine assets
Personnel and severance costs related to the transition
