Jim Price, CEO of ExamWorks, said: “We are excited to start the year with our latest major achievement, the acquisition of MES. With this acquisition, we have increased the depth of our senior management team and added substantially to our ability to service the industry. We are now a company of 1,600 dedicated employees, 41 offices in the U.S., Canada and the UK with a large and highly credentialed panel of physicians and other medical providers. We look forward to continuing our growth both from our existing business and our strong pipeline of attractive potential acquisitions.”
 
 
Business Outlook
 
ExamWorks is providing the following business outlook for fiscal year 2011:
 
  
Fiscal year 2011 revenue is expected to be $350.0 million to $360.0 million, including the expected results for acquisitions completed through March 1, 2011, but excluding the effect of expected future acquisitions during 2011.
 

 
  
Fiscal year 2011 Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be $66.0 million to $72.0 million, including the expected results for acquisitions completed through March 1, 2011, but excluding the effect of expected future acquisitions during 2011.  Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure, the use of which by ExamWorks is described below.  The reconciliation to GAAP measures of actual 2011 Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be calculated and presented in a manner consistent with the reconciliation set forth below with respect to the three months ended December 31, 2010.
 

 
  
The Company expects to acquire a minimum of $40.0 million of annual revenue during the balance of 2011.  This will result in acquired revenues of at least $175.0 million since the IPO, reaching the Company’s goal of $175.0 million of acquired revenues in 2011 and 2012 well ahead of the original timeline.  Including the $40.0 million of additional acquired revenue, we expect to end 2011 with pro forma revenues in excess of $410 million.
 
 
 

 
 
About ExamWorks Group
 
ExamWorks Group, Inc. is a leading provider of independent medical examinations, (IMEs), peer and bill reviews and related services. We help our clients manage costs and enhance their risk management processes by verifying the validity, nature, cause and extent of claims, identifying fraud and providing fast, efficient and quality IME services. ExamWorks is focused on providing carriers a national presence while maintaining the local service and capabilities they need and expect.

 
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
 
In connection with the ongoing operation of our business, our management regularly reviews Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, to assess our performance. We define Adjusted EBITDA as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, acquisition-related transaction costs, share-based compensation expenses, and other non-recurring costs. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA is an important measure of our operating performance because it allows management, lenders, investors and analysts to evaluate and assess our core operating results from period to period after removing the impact of changes to our capitalization structure, acquisition related costs, income tax status, and other items of a non-operational nature that affect comparability.
 
We believe that various forms of the Adjusted EBITDA metric are often used by analysts, investors and other interested parties to evaluate companies such as ours for the reasons discussed above. Additionally, Adjusted EBITDA is used to measure certain financial covenants in our credit facility. Adjusted EBITDA is also used for planning purposes and in presentations to our Board of Directors as well as in our incentive compensation programs for our employees, excluding our senior management.
 
Non-GAAP information should not be construed as an alternative to GAAP information, as the items excluded from the non-GAAP measures often have a material impact on our financial results. Management uses, and investors should use, non-GAAP measures in conjunction with our GAAP results.
 
A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net loss, the most comparable GAAP measure, for each of the periods indicated, is attached at the end of this release.
