Wilmington, MA (March 27, 2013) - Accellent Inc. (the “Company” or “Accellent”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Accellent Holdings Corp., today announced results for its fiscal fourth quarter ended December 31, 2012.

Fourth Quarter 2012 Financial Results

Net sales were $122.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2012 compared with $120.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2011. Income from continuing operations was $11.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2012, compared with $13.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2011. Net loss was $3.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2012 compared to $3.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2011.

Adjusted EBITDA in the fourth quarter of 2012 was $22.0 million, or 18.0% of net sales, compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $23.1 million, or 19.1% of net sales, in the fourth quarter of 2011.

“Although the challenging market conditions continued and we saw only slight growth in the fourth quarter of 2012, we remained focused on improving the fundamentals of the business,” stated Donald Spence, President and CEO of Accellent. “With improved working capital management and the divestiture of non-strategic sites, we ended 2012 with a record cash balance of nearly $60 million. I am optimistic that our actions will continue to generate positive results.”

(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 and 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 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 as additional information for 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.
