Third Quarter Financial Results

Net sales increased 5% during the third quarter of fiscal year 2012 to $708.9 million, compared to net sales of $678.0 million during the third quarter of fiscal year 2011. Compared to the prior year period, changes in foreign currency exchange rates had a negligible effect on consolidated sales growth rates. U.S. net sales increased 5% to $432.8 million during the third quarter, while Europe net sales increased 2% (4% constant currency) to $176.7 million and International (primarily Canada, South America, Mexico and the Pacific Rim) net sales increased 7% (6% constant currency) to $99.4 million.

Special items (pre-tax) for the third quarter totaled $108.0 million, including $82.1 million of non-cash amortization and depreciation expense related to the Merger and $25.9 million of non-Merger related special items.

Reported operating income during the third quarter of fiscal year 2012 was $108.1 million, compared to operating income of $94.9 million during the third quarter of fiscal year 2011. Adjusted operating income totaled $216.1 million during the third fiscal quarter, compared to adjusted operating income of $212.8 million in the same period of the prior fiscal year.

Reported net loss during the third quarter of fiscal year 2012 was $16.5 million, compared to a net loss of $11.6 million during the third quarter of fiscal year 2011. Adjusted net income was $55.1 million during the third fiscal quarter, compared to $63.8 million during the third quarter of fiscal year 2011.

Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) was $260.5 million, or 36.7% of net sales during the third quarter of fiscal year 2012, compared to adjusted EBITDA of $258.4 million during the third quarter of the prior fiscal year.

Interest expense during the third quarter totaled $117.2 million, compared to $124.0 million during the third quarter of fiscal year 2011, principally due to lower average interest rates on our term loans.

Reported cash flow from operations during the third quarter totaled $157.5 million, compared to $151.8 million for the third quarter of fiscal year 2011. Free cash flow (operating cash flow of $157.5 million minus capital expenditures of $41.5 million) was $116.0 million, which reflected $47.3 million of cash interest paid in the quarter. Free cash flow during the same quarter of fiscal year 2011 was $106.7 million.

Reported gross debt was $5.920 billion, and cash and cash equivalents, as defined in the Company’s credit agreement dated September 25, 2007, totaled $496.0 million, resulting in net debt of $5.424 billion as of February 29, 2012. From May 31, 2008, the first fiscal year-end after the Merger, to February 29, 2012, net debt decreased by $749.1 million due to an increase in cash and cash equivalents, as defined by our credit agreement, of $368.4 million and a $380.7 million reduction of gross debt. The reduction of gross debt includes a $179.4 million decrease due to favorable foreign currency translation on the Company’s euro-denominated debt.

---

The Company’s senior secured leverage ratio as of February 29, 2012 was 2.83 times the last twelve months (“LTM”) adjusted EBITDA, as defined by our credit agreement, compared to 4.01 times at May 31, 2008. The total leverage ratio was 5.35 times LTM adjusted EBITDA at February 29, 2012, compared to 6.97 times as of May 31, 2008.

Biomet’s President and Chief Executive Officer Jeffrey R. Binder commented, “We reported strong and improving sales results across many of our product categories this quarter, with particularly good momentum in our Large Joint Reconstructive and S.E.T. product categories. I was particularly happy with the consistency of our performance across all geographies. In addition, we are very excited about our future opportunities in the trauma market given our pending acquisition of DePuy’s worldwide trauma business.”

Financial Schedule Presentation

The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three months and nine months ended February 29, 2012 and February 28, 2011 and other financial data included in this press release have been prepared in a manner that complies, in all material respects, with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States (except with respect to certain non-GAAP financial measures discussed below) and reflects purchase accounting adjustments related to the Merger referenced below.

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Those statements are often indicated by the use of words such as “will,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “plan” and similar expressions. Forward-looking statements involve certain risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by the forward looking statements due to, among others, the following factors: the success of the Company’s principal product lines; the results of the ongoing investigation by the United States Department of Justice; the ability to successfully implement new technologies; the Company’s ability to sustain sales and earnings growth; the Company’s success in achieving timely approval or clearance of its products with domestic and foreign regulatory entities; the impact to the business as a result of compliance with federal, state and foreign governmental regulations and with the Deferred Prosecution Agreement and Corporate Integrity Agreement; the impact to the business as a result of the economic downturn in both foreign and domestic markets; the impact of federal health care reform; the impact of anticipated changes in the musculoskeletal industry and the ability of the Company to react to and capitalize on those changes; the ability of the Company to successfully implement its desired organizational changes and cost-saving initiatives; the impact to the business as a result of the Company’s significant international operations, including, among others, with respect to foreign currency fluctuations and the success of the Company’s transition of certain manufacturing operations to China; the impact of the Company’s managerial changes; the ability of the Company’s customers to receive adequate levels of reimbursement from third-party payors; the Company’s ability to maintain its existing intellectual property rights and obtain future intellectual property rights; the impact to the business as a result of cost containment efforts of group purchasing organizations; the Company’s ability to retain existing independent sales agents for its products; and other factors set forth in the Company’s filings with the SEC, including the Company’s most recent annual report on Form 10-K and quarterly reports on Form 10-Q. Although the Company believes that the assumptions on which the forward-looking statements contained herein are based are reasonable, any of those assumptions could prove to be inaccurate given the inherent uncertainties as to the occurrence or non-occurrence of future events. There can be no assurance as to the accuracy of forward-looking statements contained in this press release. The inclusion of a forward-looking statement herein should not be regarded as a representation by the Company that the Company’s objectives will be achieved. The Company undertakes no obligation to update publicly or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Accordingly, the reader is cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements which speak only as of the date on which they were made.

*Non-GAAP Financial Measures:

Management uses non-GAAP financial measures, such as net sales excluding the impact of foreign currency (constant currency), operating income as adjusted, Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA) as adjusted, net income as adjusted, gross profit as adjusted, selling, general and administrative expense as adjusted, research and development expense as adjusted, cash and cash equivalents (as defined by our credit agreement), net debt, senior secured leverage ratio, total leverage ratio (net debt), free cash flow, and unlevered free cash flow. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures are included elsewhere in the press release.

The term “as adjusted,” a non-GAAP financial measure, refers to financial performance measures that exclude certain income statement line items, such as interest, taxes, depreciation or amortization, other (income) expense, and/or exclude certain expenses as defined by our credit agreement, such as restructuring charges, non-cash impairment charges, integration and facilities opening costs or other business optimization expenses, new systems design and implementation costs, certain start-up costs and costs related to consolidation of facilities, certain non-cash charges, advisory fees paid to the Company’s private equity owners, certain severance charges, purchase accounting costs, stock-based compensation, litigation costs, and other related charges.

These non-GAAP financial measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative for, GAAP in the United States. Biomet management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors; however, this additional non-GAAP financial information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Non-GAAP Reconciliation

A reconciliation of reported results to adjusted results is included in this press release, which is also posted on Biomet’s website: www.biomet.com
