Management Comment

Exactech CEO and President David Petty said, “2015 was a year of investing both in new product launches and sales channel improvements. We had a modest uplift from the pilot launch of revision hip, knee and shoulder products the last four months of the year despite increased pricing pressures.  We expect to ramp those product launches up to full launch mode over the next six to nine months with the help of improvements we have made in the last 12 months in our domestic sales channel. We saw important growth in our domestic sales in the fourth quarter thanks in part to new sales people and the revision system pilot launches. This was offset by a difficult year in our overseas operations as we faced significant challenges primarily due a strong dollar compared with international currencies. We experienced downturns in several emerging markets experiencing

 


 

economic difficulties. Outside the U.S., we have taken steps to strengthen our sales and marketing network including the first quarter 2016 acquisition of our Australian distributor, giving us nine directly owned companies outside of the U.S.

 

“2015 U.S. sales were up 2% to $168.1 million compared with $165.6 million a year ago. International sales decreased 11% in 2015 to $73.7 million and were down 1% on a constant currency basis.  For the fourth quarter of 2015, U.S. sales were up 7% to $44.9 million compared with $41.7 million in the fourth quarter a year ago and International sales decreased 17% to $17.9 million and decreased 10% on a constant currency basis.

 

“We expect our strong product pipeline and an improved sales force to produce revenue improvement in 2016 and growth on the bottom line. Contributions are expected from the second half release of our Logic CC revision knee, which will further strengthen our knee product line. Also in the 2016 pipeline are our advanced bearing ceramic shoulder, our new total ankle product and revision hip stem. Based on current currency rates, we do not expect currency issues to be a strong headwind in 2016. Regardless of the challenges of currency and economic pressures outside the U.S., our core businesses are solid. We have proven products that produce great patient outcomes, an improved domestic sales operation, an aggressive R&D effort and a company filled with highly competent people at all levels. This gives us confidence in our future,” Petty said.

 

Chief Financial Officer Jody Phillips said, “While we experienced a challenging year on the sales and profitability front, we made significant improvement in our balance sheet by reducing our debt net of cash by approximately $10 million during 2015.  Full year Gross margins decreased to 69.6% compared with 70.1% for 2014, primarily due to the foreign currency impact.  Total operating expenses for the year decreased 1% to $145.9 million and as a percentage of sales increased to 60.3% from 59.5%, resulting in an operating profit decrease of 15% to $22.3 million.  The $8.1 million constant currency negative impact on sales due to the dollar strengthening during 2015 was difficult for us to offset at the bottom line but with the return to above market growth rates in US sales during the fourth quarter we feel that we have momentum heading into 2016. ”

 

Looking forward, Exactech released its initial 2016 revenue guidance of $248-$256 million and diluted EPS target of $1.12-$1.18. For the first quarter of 2016, the company anticipates revenues of $62-$65 million and diluted EPS of $0.28-$0.30. 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.
