Premex Acquisition
 
On May 10, 2011, we acquired 100% of the share capital of Premex .  Premex, based in Bolton, England, provides independent medical examinations, rehabilitation and diagnostic offerings and ancillary services . Premex was founded in 1996 and has grown through a combination of organic and acquisition growth.  Revenues and adjusted EBITDA for the trailing twelve month period ended March 31, 2011 were approximately £55.8 million and £8.7 million, respectively , or approximately $91 million and $14.2 million using a conversion rate of 1.63 .
 
ExamWorks completed its acquisition of Premex for a purchase price consisting of £40.6 million (or $66.2 million) in cash, 661,610 shares of Company common stock with a contractual value of approximately £8.9 million (or $ 14.5 million), and £16.4 million (or $26.7 million) of assumed indebtedness under Premex’s receivables facility, which was paid off at closing. ExamWorks financed the cash portion of the transaction with proceeds from the senior revolving credit facility.
 
“We are thrilled to welcome Premex to the ExamWorks family of companies,” said James K. Price, Chief Executive Officer of ExamWorks. The talented professionals of our operating companies, Premex and UK Independent Medical (UKIM) have exceptional industry veterans who will lead us to the next phase of our growth in the United Kingdom. Each group brings unique personnel, information technology and operational assets, continually enhancing IME workflow and client experience.”
 
Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility
 
On May 6, 2011, we increased and fully exercised the accordion feature of our senior secured revolving credit facility.  The increase and exercise of the accordion feature increased the committed capacity of the credit facility by $55 million, from a total of $245 million to $300 million.
 
 
 

 
 
Richard E. Perlman, Executive Chairman of ExamWorks, said: "We are pleased to share our progress and positive start to 2011. The market continues to validate our vision for the IME industry, including our lender group that is facilitating this round of expansion and providing additional liquidity for the future to continue the successful execution of our strategy.” 
 
Business Outlook
 
ExamWorks is providing the following updated business outlook for fiscal year 2011:
 
  
Fiscal year 2011 reported revenue is expected to be $405 million to $415 million, including the expected results of MES, National IME, and Premex from the date of acquisition, but excluding the effect of expected future acquisitions during 2011.
 
  
Fiscal year 2011 reported Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be $74 million to $80 million, including the expected results of MES, National IME, and Premex from the date of acquisition, 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 reported 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 March 31, 2011.

  
The Company expects to acquire a minimum of $40 million of annual revenue during the balance of 2011.  This will result in acquired revenues of at least $265 million since the IPO, reaching the Company’s stated goal of $250 million of acquired revenues in 2011, 2012 and 2013 well ahead of the original timeline.  Including the $40 million of additional acquired revenue, we expect to end 2011 with pro forma revenues in excess of $500 million. Pro forma revenues assumes that all 2011 acquisitions were completed on January 1, 2011.

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.
 
The following table presents a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net loss, the most comparable GAAP measure, for each of the periods indicated.
