Management Comment

Exactech CEO and President David Petty said, "We were very pleased with strong double digit growth in our Extremities, Knee and Hip businesses. The momentum in our Extremities segment is based on the continuing successful adoption of the Equinoxe shoulder system and notably with our highly competitive range of glenoid solutions. The Equinoxe Humeral Reconstruction Prosthesis launched earlier in the year also contributed positively to the good quarter. Success in developing our U.S. sales channels was helpful in all three major joint segments. We continued ramping up availability of the Alteon Monoblock Revision Hip stem, which supported 17% hip growth for the quarter. Similarly, our knee revision system contributed positively to 11% knee growth this quarter. In the fourth quarter and the first half of next year, we are moving from the pilot launch phase into a limited launch of the revision knee. This should be increasingly important to growth in coming quarters. We were disappointed with results in our smaller segments, attributable in part to pricing pressures and slower adoption of new products.

"Our new Vantage Total Ankle system achieved an important milestone during the third quarter with successful treatment of the first patient. The pilot launch phase starts in the fourth quarter and continues the first part of next year. During the third quarter we also recorded our first successful surgeries with the new ExactechGPS® total shoulder application and we expanded our computer-assisted surgery system with a revision total knee application. Adding these two applications to the ExactechGPS platform can facilitate commercial adoption of the system in 2017.

“Worldwide sales increased 7% to $191.3 million for the first nine months of 2016. U.S. sales were up 7% to $131.4 million compared with $123.3 million in the first nine months a year ago. International sales increased 7% to $59.9 million in the first nine months of 2016 and increased 7% on a constant currency basis. U.S. sales for the third quarter of 2016 were up 4% to $42.2 million compared with $40.7 million in the third quarter a year ago. International sales increased 14% to $17.7 million from $15.5 million in the third quarter of 2015 which reflected a 12% constant currency increase. U.S. sales represented 70% of total, sales and international sales represented 30% of total sales during the third quarter."

Chief Financial Officer Jody Phillips said, “Gross margins decreased to 68.7% from 70.5% for the third quarter a year ago, primarily due to growth in our international distribution business and general pricing pressures. Total operating expenses for the quarter increased 4% to $36.6 million; however, as a percentage of sales, decreased to 61% for the third quarter of 2016. Sales and marketing expenses increased 5% to $21.7 million, due to expanding medical education programs and product launch expenses. General and administrative expenses remained flat at $5.2 million and research and development expenses decreased 3% to $5.1 million during the third quarter though we expect those expenses to increase going forward.”

Looking forward, Exactech updated its 2016 revenue guidance to $256-$258 million and its diluted full year EPS target to $1.15–$1.17. This translates to anticipated revenues of $64.7-$66.7 million and diluted EPS of $0.31-$0.33 for the fourth quarter ending December 31, 2016. 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.

This release contains various 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, which represent the company’s expectations or beliefs concerning future events of the company’s financial performance. These forward-looking statements are further qualified by important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. These factors include the effect of competitive pricing, the company’s dependence on the ability of third party manufacturers to produce components on a basis which is cost-effective to the company, market acceptance of the company’s products and the effects of government regulation.

Non-GAAP financial measures – Because we operate internationally, we present the percentage change in sales by reporting segment on a constant currency basis, which is a non-GAAP financial measure. We calculate this change on a constant currency basis by translating current period sales at the comparable average historical exchange rates for the same period in the prior year. We believe that presenting the percentage change in sales on a constant currency basis assists in the understanding of actual sales fluctuations by excluding the impact of foreign currency fluctuations.
