FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Accellent Inc. Announces Third Quarter 2011 Results

Wilmington, MA (November 10, 2011) – Accellent Inc. (the “Company” or “Accellent”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Accellent Holdings Corp., today announced results for its fiscal third quarter ended September 30, 2011.

Third Quarter 2011 Financial Results

Net sales increased 6.4% to $133.1 million in the third quarter of 2011 compared with $125.0 million in the third quarter of 2010. Income from operations was $13.5 million in the third quarter of 2011, compared to $17.6 million in the third quarter of 2010. Net loss was $4.4 million in the third quarter of 2011, compared with net loss of $3.1 million in the third quarter of 2010.

Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter of 2011 was $24.5 million, or 18.4% of net sales, compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $28.0 million, or 22.4% of net sales, in the third quarter of 2010.

“We are pleased with achieving our sixth consecutive quarter of year over year revenue increase, however we are disappointed that our revenue growth did not result in incremental profit. Higher overhead costs were the primary driver of lower profit in the third quarter despite our revenue results.” said Donald Spence, President and CEO of Accellent.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2011 Financial Results

Net sales increased 8.2% to $405.7 million in the first nine months of 2011 compared with $374.8 million in the first nine months of 2010. Income from operations was $45.9 million in the first nine months of 2011 compared with $51.0 million in the first nine months of 2010. Net loss was $11.6 million in the first nine months of 2011 compared with a net loss of $9.1 million in the first nine months of 2010.

Adjusted EBITDA for the first nine months of 2011 was $78.5 million, or 19.4% of net sales compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $81.6 million, or 21.8% of net sales in the first nine months of 2010.

(1) EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA presented in this press release are supplemental measures of our performance that are not required by, or presented in accordance with, GAAP. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not measurements of our financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to net income (loss) or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP, or as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities as a measure of our liquidity.

EBITDA represents net income (loss) before net interest expense, provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA further adjusted to give effect to certain non-cash items and other adjustments, all of which are defined in the indentures governing our debt. The adjustments include adjustments for restructuring charges and related plant closure costs, stock compensation charges, severance and relocation costs, executive recruiting costs, currency translation gains and losses, gains and losses on derivative instruments, gains and losses resulting from the disposal of property and equipment, certain non-income based taxes, losses on debt extinguishment, and management fees.

We believe that the presentation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA is appropriate to provide additional information to investors. We consider it an important supplemental measure of our performance and we believe that both are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of high yield issuers.
