Exactech Q1 Revenue Up 9% to $53.4M, Net Income $3.0M With

Strong Performance in Hip and Extremity Products

GAINESVILLE, Fla. – May 3, 2011 — Exactech, Inc. (Nasdaq: EXAC), a developer and producer of bone and joint restoration products for hip, knee, shoulder, spine and biologic materials, announced today revenue of $53.4 million for the first quarter of 2011, a 9% increase over $49.1 million in the first quarter of 2010. Net income was $3.0 million, or $0.22 per diluted share, compared to $3.3 million, or $0.25 per diluted share, in the same quarter a year ago. Net income for the quarter, excluding pre-tax legal expenses and costs of $1.3 million related to ongoing compliance and monitoring costs associated with the Department of Justice (DOJ) settlement in December 2010, was $3.8 million or $0.28 EPS.

First Quarter Segment Performance

 

   

Knee implant revenue increased 2% to $21.3 million

 

   

Extremity implant revenue increased 33% to $9.4 million

 

   

Hip implant revenue increased 21% to $8.0 million

 

   

Biologic and Spine revenue was $7.0 million versus $7.4 million

 

   

Other revenue including cement was $7.5 million, up 6% from $7.1 million

Exactech Chairman and CEO Bill Petty said, “Sales in our largest product segment, knee implants, improved 2% to $21.3 million for the first quarter of 2011 from $20.9 million in the first quarter of 2010. Extremity revenues increased 33% to $9.4 million from last year’s Q1 revenue of $7.1 million reflecting continued market penetration of our Equinoxe® shoulder products. Hip implant sales for the first quarter rose 21% to 8.0 million from $6.6 million in the first quarter of 2010. Biologic-spine revenue decreased to $7.0 million compared with $7.4 million in the same quarter last year. Other product sales increased 6% to $7.5 million from $7.1 million, due to strength in our bone cement products during the quarter.”

Exactech President David Petty said, “We continue to make progress in the distribution channel changes that we implemented in 2010. Our Japanese operations performed well in the first quarter and we are cautiously optimistic about stability in this business going forward considering the recent crisis. International revenues increased 13% to $18.4 million from $16.3 million in the first quarter of 2010 primarily due to extremity and hip growth. U.S. sales increased 7% to $35.0 million compared with $32.8 million in the first quarter of 2010. Our continued efforts on U.S. sales force development are beginning to yield results.”

Chief Financial Officer Jody Phillips said, “Our revenue and net income for the quarter were both slightly ahead of our projections. The 9% decline in GAAP net income from $3.3 million in the same quarter last year was primarily due to our increased compliance expenses associated with the ongoing

monitorship. During the quarter, legal and other expenses related to these compliance efforts were $1.3 million, before tax, compared to $200,000 in the first quarter of 2010. This resulted in a 28% increase in G&A expenses to $5.7 million. Excluding the impact of the compliance related expenses, our net income increased 10% to $3.8 million. Gross margins increased to 68.7% for the first quarter of 2011 from 64.0% for the first quarter of 2010, primarily due to favorable impacts due to our direct operation transitions in international markets.

“Total operating expenses for the quarter were $32.6 million, an increase of 26% from $25.8 million in the comparable period. As a percentage of sales, operating expenses increased to 61.2% from 52.6% for the first quarter a year ago. Total sales and marketing expenses were up 31%, and increased to 38% as a percentage of sales from 31% in the same quarter a year ago primarily due to our direct operations that did not exist in the first quarter of last year. Research and development expenses decreased 5% to $3.5 million versus $3.6 million in the first quarter of 2010.”

Looking forward, Exactech reiterated its 2011 revenue guidance of $202 - $210 million and diluted EPS of $0.86 - $0.94 on a GAAP basis and diluted EPS of $1.10 - $1.18 excluding the impact of the company’s projection of $5.0 million in compliance expenses for 2011. For the second quarter ending June 30, 2011, the company said it anticipates revenues of $51.0 - $53.0 million and diluted EPS of $0.20 - $0.22 on a GAAP basis and diluted EPS of $0.26 - $.28 excluding the projected impact of $1.4 million in compliance related expenses. 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.
