Orthofix International Reports Third Quarter 2014 Results and Announces Filing of Restated Financial Statements

LEWISVILLE, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Orthofix International N.V. (NASDAQ: OFIX) (the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”), a diversified, global medical device company focused on improving patients’ lives by providing superior reconstructive and regenerative orthopedic and spine solutions to physicians worldwide, today filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission restated financial statements for fiscal years 2011, 2012 and 2013 and the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2014, while also filing its late Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarters ended June 30, 2014 and September 30, 2014. The Company continues to work to complete the procedures needed to file its 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission. As requested by a letter from NASDAQ, on March 25, 2015, the Company provided a written update to the Hearings Panel regarding these matters. The Company has requested that the Hearings Panel grant the Company relief from delisting through April 30, 2015 while it completes the filing of its 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Net sales in the third quarter of 2014 were $101.0 million, increasing 10.0% from net sales of $91.8 million in the third quarter of 2013. Third quarter 2014 net income from continuing operations was $28 thousand, or $0.00 per diluted share, compared to a net loss from continuing operations of $16.5 million for the same period last year, or $0.91 per diluted share. Adjusted net income from continuing operations for the third quarter of 2014 was $3.3 million, or $0.17 per diluted share, compared to $4.0 million, or $0.22 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2013.

“We are pleased to have completed the extensive technical accounting work reflected in the restated financial statements we filed today,” commented President and Chief Executive Officer Brad Mason. “Despite this distraction, the underlying businesses remain solid as reflected in our financial and operating performance in the third quarter. Additionally, our year-to-date cash flow generation continued to strengthen our balance sheet and financial position.”

Third Quarter 2014 Net Sales Results

BioStim

Net sales in the BioStim strategic business unit (“SBU”) increased $7.6 million or 24.8% to $38.3 million in the third quarter of 2014 compared to $30.7 million for the same period in the prior year. The increase was primarily due to the 2013 reduction in third party payor revenue driven by our transition during the third quarter of 2013 to recognize revenue upon accumulation of the full billable package for third party payors, and to a lesser extent, order volume growth as a result of enhancements to the BioStim sales organization.

Biologics

Net sales in the Biologics SBU increased $0.7 million, or 5.3%, to $13.9 million in the third quarter of 2014 compared to $13.2 million for the same period in the prior year. The growth was primarily driven by an expanded sales channel as well as continued conversion to our next generation cell-based bone growth tissue technology (Trinity ELITE®).

Extremity Fixation

Net sales in the Extremity Fixation SBU increased $2.9 million, or 11.7%, to $27.6 million in the third quarter of 2014 compared to $24.7 million for the same period last year. The growth was driven by recent expanded product launches and an improvement in international sales, partially offset by declining revenue at our Brazil subsidiary, which has experienced significant disruption to the sales channel over the past year as we rebuild our sales organization.

Spine Fixation

Net sales in the Spine Fixation SBU decreased $2.0 million or 8.6% to $21.2 million in the third quarter of 2014 compared to $23.2 million for the same period last year primarily due to loss of sales momentum resulting from our efforts to reorganize the sales force in late 2013 through Q2 of 2014 to improve profitability.

Third Quarter 2014 Earnings Results and Adjusted EBITDA

Gross profit increased $9.0 million to $75.7 million in the third quarter of 2014 compared to $66.7 million for the same period last year. Gross profit as a percent of net sales was 75.0% for the third quarter of 2014 and 72.7% for 2013 during the same period. This increase was primarily driven by the change in third party payor revenue for the BioStim business in the third quarter of 2013, which recognized revenue upon accumulation of the full billable package for third party payors causing third quarter 2013 revenue to be lower. In addition, the third quarter of 2013 included additional reserves for excess and obsolete products in multiple SBUs.

Third quarter 2014 sales and marketing expense was $41.0 million, or 40.6% of net sales, compared to $39.1 million, or 42.6% of net sales, for the same period in the prior year. The expense increase was primarily due to higher commissions resulting from the increased BioStim sales.

General and administrative expense increased $5.9 million, or 45.5%, in the third quarter of 2014 to $18.8 million, compared to $12.9 million in the third quarter of 2013. General and administrative expense as a percent of net sales was 18.6% in the third quarter of 2014, compared to 14.2% for the same period in the prior year. The increase in G&A was primarily driven by investment in the following initiatives: implementation of an internal audit function; focused efforts on key process improvements; and remediation of material weaknesses and significant deficiencies. Further, $1.5 million has been spent in the first nine months of 2014 on our multi-year process and systems improvement effort, “Bluecore.”

Research and development expense increased $0.2 million in the third quarter of 2014 to $6.6 million, compared to $6.4 million in the same period in the prior year, as a result of increased spending in both clinical and pre-clinical studies. Research and development expense as a percent of net sales was 6.5% in the third quarter of 2014, compared to 6.9% for the same period in 2013.

Third quarter 2014 adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations was $17.8 million for the period, or 17.6% of sales, compared to $14.4 million, or 15.7% of sales, for the same period in the prior year. The increase in adjusted EBITDA was due primarily to the higher sales mix from the BioStim SBU compared to the prior year.

Third quarter 2014 net income from continuing operations was $28 thousand, or $0.00 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $16.5 million, or $0.91 per diluted share, for the same period in 2013. Adjusted net income from continuing operations for the third quarter of 2014 was $3.3 million, or $0.17 per diluted share, compared to $4.0 million, or $0.22 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2013.

Year-to-Date (as of September 30, 2014) Net Sales Results

BioStim

Net sales in the BioStim SBU increased 8.6% to $114.9 million in the first nine months of 2014 compared to $105.8 million for the same period in the prior year, an increase of $9.1 million. This year-over-year increase was primarily due to the reduction in third party payor revenue driven by our billable package transition in the third quarter of 2013, and to a lesser extent, order volume growth as a result of enhancements to the BioStim sales organization.

Biologics

Net sales in the Biologics SBU increased $0.9 million, or 2.3%, to $40.7 million in the first nine months of 2014, compared to $39.8 million for the same period in the prior year, due to an expanded sales channel as well as continued conversion to our next generation cell-based bone growth tissue technology (Trinity ELITE®). This increase was reduced slightly as a result of a decrease in the marketing fees received from Musculoskeletal Transplant Foundation (“MTF”) for Trinity products from 70% of retail price to 65% beginning April 2013.

Extremity Fixation

Net sales in the Extremity Fixation SBU increased $7.9 million, or 10.7%, to $82.0 million in the first nine months of 2014 compared to $74.1 million for the same period in 2013. Year-over-year revenue comparisons are impacted by the transition to sell-through accounting for certain of the Company’s distributors in the second quarter of 2013. Recent expanded product launches also contributed to increased sales as well as increased sales in the U.S. for our TrueLok product line. These items were partially offset by declining revenues at our Brazil subsidiary, which has experienced significant disruption to the sales channel over the past year as we rebuild our Brazil sales organization.

Spine Fixation

Net sales in the Spine Fixation SBU decreased $7.7 million, or 10.6%, to $64.3 million in the first nine months of 2014, compared to $72.0 million for the same period in 2013. This decrease primarily was due to loss of sales momentum resulting from our efforts to reorganize the sales force in late 2013 and through Q2 of 2014 to improve profitability.

Year-to-Date (as of September 30, 2014) Earnings Results and Adjusted EBITDA

Gross profit increased $5.6 million to $224.5 million in the first nine months of 2014 compared to $218.9 million for the same period in the prior year. Gross profit as a percent of net sales was 74.4% for the first nine months of 2014 and 75.0% for 2013 during the same period. The decrease in gross margin was primarily driven by changes in the product and sales channel mix resulting from rebuilding our Brazil sales organization, and reserves for excess and obsolete products across multiple SBUs.

Sales and marketing expense, which includes variable expenses such as commissions and provisions for bad debt, decreased 4.1% for the first nine months of 2014 compared to the prior year. Tighter cost controls on non-variable sales and marketing expenses, lower commission rates due to the reorganization of the Brazil and U.S. Spine Fixation sales forces, and lower Spine sales, resulted in an overall decrease in expense of $5.3 million to $124.2 million, compared to $129.5 million for the same period in the prior year. As a percent of net sales, sales and marketing related expense was 41.1% compared to 44.4% for the same period in 2013.

General and administrative expense increased $7.3 million, or 15.7%, in the first nine months of 2014 to $53.6 million compared to $46.4 million in the first nine months of 2013. General and administrative expense as a percent of net sales was 17.8% for the first nine months of 2014, compared to 15.9% for the same period in the prior year. This increase was primarily driven by investment in the following initiatives: implementation of an internal audit function; focused efforts on key process improvements; and remediation of material weaknesses and significant deficiencies. Additionally, medical insurance payouts have been unusually high in 2014 whereas in 2013 the payouts were unusually low. This has caused a large fluctuation from the prior year because the Company is self-insured up to a stop loss threshold. Approximately $1.5 million has been spent in the first nine months of 2014 on our multi-year process and systems improvement effort, “Bluecore.”

Research and development expense decreased $1.9 million in the first nine months of 2014 to $18.8 million, compared to $20.7 million in the first nine months of 2013. As a percent of net sales, research and development expense was 6.3% in the first nine months of 2014 compared to 7.1% for the same period in the prior year. The decrease was primarily driven by a $2.0 million payment to Musculoskeletal Transplant Foundation (“MTF”) in the second quarter of 2013 for the development and commercialization of Trinity ELITE®, which was released in the first half of 2013.

Year-to-date (as of September 30, 2014) adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations was $49.0 million for the period, or 16.2% of sales, compared to $47.4 million, 16.2% of sales, in the same period in the prior year. The increase in adjusted EBITDA on a dollar basis was due to the $10.3 million increase in net sales.

Year-to-date (as of September 30, 2014) net income from continuing operations was $1.3 million compared to a net loss of $8.6 million for the same period in the prior year. Adjusted net income from continuing operations was $11.1 million, or $0.60 per diluted share, compared to $14.2 million, or $0.75 per diluted share, for the same period in the prior year.

Summary of Restated Financial Statements

On March 24, 2014, the Company filed restated financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010 and the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2013 (the “Original Restatement”). Subsequently, in connection with the Company’s preparation of its consolidated interim quarterly financial statements for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2014, the Company determined that certain entries with respect to previously filed financial statements were not properly accounted for under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). Due to these errors, the Company determined in August 2014 to restate its consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 (including the interim quarterly periods therein) and the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2014, and that the previously filed financial statements for these periods should no longer be relied upon.

Today, the Company has filed amendments to its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013 (the “2013 Form 10-K/A”) and its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2014 (the “2014 First Quarter Form 10-Q/A”), as well as its late Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarters ended June 30, 2014 and September 30, 2014, respectively (the “2014 Second Quarter Form 10-Q” and the “2014 Third Quarter Form 10-Q”). Restated consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 are contained in the 2013 Form 10-K/A, and restated condensed consolidated financial statements for the fiscal quarters ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 are contained in the 2014 First Quarter Form 10-Q/A. In addition, restated condensed consolidated financial statements for the fiscal quarters ended June 30, 2013 and September 30, 2013 are contained in the 2014 Second Quarter Form 10-Q and the 2014 Third Quarter Form 10-Q, respectively. The Company refers to the restated consolidated financial statements for these periods contained in these filings as the “Further Restatement.” The errors corrected by the Further Restatement are as follows:

• Co-Pay and Self-Pay Revenue Adjustments – A majority of revenue from the Company’s BioStim SBU is derived from third parties, which is subject to change due to contractual adjustments related to commercial insurance carriers, and may include certain patient co-pay amounts. The Company previously recorded certain co-pay and self-pay amounts as revenue, with estimated uncollectible portions being recognized as bad debt expense. Given that the collectability of co-pay and self-pay amounts was not reasonably assured, the conditions for revenue recognition had not been met and revenue for those amounts should not have been recognized until collected. Adjustments to correct the foregoing reduce equally both the Company’s historical net sales and its sales and marketing expense by approximately $2.2 million, $9.0 million and $6.0 million for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and $1.4 million for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2014. Additionally, there was $1.4 million in the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2014 related to contractual amounts from commercial insurance carriers that was incorrectly classified to bad debt expense rather than as a reduction of revenue, for a total reduction to bad debt and revenue of $2.8 million for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2014. These adjustments have no effect on net income from continuing operations or net income in these periods.
• Bad Debt Timing Adjustments – Certain bad debt reserves originally recorded in fiscal years 2011 and 2012 were reversed in incorrect periods during the preparation of the Original Restatement in connection with the change to sell-through accounting for certain distributors. As a result, sales and marketing expense was understated by approximately $1.5 million and $1.1 million for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and overstated by approximately $2.1 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011.
• Accounts Receivable Reserve Adjustments – As part of analyzing collections experience on accounts receivable, the Company identified that it had incorrectly considered certain deferred revenue amounts included in gross accounts receivable when calculating estimated reserves. Specifically, the computation of the contractual allowances and bad debt allowances, which serves to adjust accounts receivable to the estimated collectible amount, incorrectly assumed that some percentage of deferred amounts would be collected, rather than fully deferring these amounts. Adjustments to correct this error resulted in a net decrease in operating income of $0.7 million and $0.2 million for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2013 and 2011, respectively, and a net increase in operating income of $2.1 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012, as well as a net decrease in operating loss of $1.5 million for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2014.
• Intercompany Profit Adjustments – As part of the Original Restatement, the Company made certain corrections to prior period excess and obsolete inventory reserves. The effect of these corrections was not considered when determining the adjustments needed to eliminate intercompany profits from inventories in the Original Restatement. Adjustments to correct this error resulted in an increase to cost of sales of $1.1 million, $0.2 million and $0.3 million for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively, as well as an increase to cost of sales of $3.0 million for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2014.
• Inventory:
  • Inventory Existence – As part of the remediation activities that followed the Original Restatement, the Company expanded its procedures in the second quarter of 2014 to validate the existence of field inventory held by independent sales representatives and noted that, in many cases, this inventory had higher rates of missing inventory (“shrinkage”) than previously estimated. To determine whether these higher error rates were pervasive across its field inventory, the Company counted approximately 90% of its field inventory during the third and fourth fiscal quarters of 2014. These counts resulted in the identification of errors relating to previous estimates of shrinkage. Adjustments in the Further Restatement to correct these errors, net of the related effect on previously recorded excess and obsolete inventory reserves, resulted in an increase to cost of sales of $0.4 million, $0.3 million and $0.2 million for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively, as well as an increase to cost of sales of $0.2 million for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2014.
  • Inventory Reserves – In connection with its remediation efforts associated with the material weakness noted in the Original Restatement related to inventory reserves, the Company concluded that it was not appropriately calculating inventory reserves, including its consideration of demand assumptions for “kits”, which contain a variety of “piece part” components to be used during surgery as well as inventory held by third parties under inventory purchase obligations. Adjustments to correct this error resulted in an increase to cost of sales of $3.2 million, $1.5 million and $0.1 million for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively, as well as an increase to cost of sales of $2.4 million for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2014.
• Other Adjustments – In addition to the adjustments described above, the Company has corrected certain other items. The impact of correcting these items results in a decrease to income tax expense of $0.5 million and $1.1 million for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively; these adjustments are separate from the tax effect of the errors described above.

Non-GAAP Performance Measures

The tables in this press release present reconciliations of net income from continuing operations and net income from continuing operations per diluted share calculated in accordance with GAAP to non-GAAP performance measures, referred to as “Net Margin,” “EBITDA,” “Adjusted EBITDA,” “Adjusted net income (loss) from continuing operations” and “Adjusted net income (loss) from continuing operations per diluted share,” that exclude the items specified in the tables. A more detailed explanation of the items excluded from these non-GAAP measures, as well as why management believes the non-GAAP measures are useful to them, is included in the Regulation G Supplemental Information below.

Reconciliations of Non-GAAP Performance Measures

Adjusted EBITDA Reconciling Items

• Strategic investment in MTF – costs related to the Company’s strategic investment with MTF in the development and commercialization of a next generation cell-based bone growth technology.
• Accounting review and restatement – legal, accounting, and other professional costs related to the Company's accounting review and restatement.
• Infrastructure investments – costs associated with our multi-year process and systems improvement effort, “Bluecore.”
• Succession charges – in 2013 these costs relate to the succession of certain of the Company's former executive officers.
• Demutualization of a mutual insurance company – the Company received cash related to the demutualization of a mutual insurance company, in which the Company was an eligible member to share in such proceeds.
• Goodwill impairment – as a result of the Company’s change in reporting structure in July of 2013, the Company allocated goodwill to each reporting unit, and subsequently evaluated all reporting units, including the Extremity Fixation and Spine Fixation reporting units, for the possible impairment of goodwill. The result of this evaluation was a full impairment of the goodwill allocated to the Extremity Fixation and Spine Fixation reporting units, totaling $19.2 million.

Adjusted Net Income from Continuing Operations and Adjusted Net Income from Continuing Operations Per Diluted Share Reconciling Items

Note: The reconciling items were tax affected in the current period at the prevailing rate within the respective jurisdictions.

• Strategic investment in MTF – costs related to the Company’s strategic investment with MTF in the development and commercialization of a next generation cell-based bone growth technology.
• Accounting review and restatement – legal, accounting, and other professional costs related to the Company's accounting review and restatement.
• Succession charges – in 2013 these costs relate to the cessation of employment of certain of the Company's former executive officers.
• Foreign exchange (gain)/loss – due to translation adjustments resulting from the weakening or strengthening of the U.S. Dollar against various foreign currencies. A number of Orthofix's foreign subsidiaries have intercompany and third party trade accounts receivables and payables that are held in currencies, most notably the U.S. Dollar, other than their local currency, and movements in the relative values of those currencies result in foreign exchange gains and losses.
• Demutualization of a mutual insurance company – the Company received cash related to the demutualization of a mutual insurance company, in which the Company was an eligible member to share in such proceeds.
• Goodwill impairment – as a result of the Company’s change in reporting structure in July of 2013, the Company allocated goodwill to each reporting unit, and subsequently evaluated all reporting units, including the Extremity Fixation and Spine Fixation reporting units, for the possible impairment of goodwill. The result of this evaluation was a full impairment of the goodwill allocated to the Extremity Fixation and Spine Fixation reporting units, totaling $19.2 million.

Management use of, and economic substance behind, Non-GAAP Performance Measures

Management uses non-GAAP measures to evaluate performance period-over-period, to analyze the underlying trends in the Company's business, to assess its performance relative to its competitors and to establish operational goals and forecasts that are used in allocating resources. Management uses these non-GAAP measures as the basis for assessing the ability of the underlying operations to generate cash. In addition, management uses these non-GAAP measures to further its understanding of the performance of the Company's business units. The items excluded from Orthofix's non-GAAP measures are also excluded from the profit or loss reported by the Company's business units for the purpose of analyzing their performance.

Material Limitations Associated with the Use of Non-GAAP Measures

The non-GAAP measures used in this press release may have limitations as analytical tools, and should not be considered in isolation or as a replacement for GAAP performance measures. Some of the limitations associated with the use of these non-GAAP performance measures are that they exclude items that reflect an economic cost to the Company and can have a material effect on cash flows. Similarly, equity compensation expense does not directly impact cash flows, but is part of total compensation costs accounted for under GAAP.

Compensation for Limitations Associated with Use of Non-GAAP Measures

Orthofix compensates for the limitations of its non-GAAP performance measures by relying upon its GAAP results to gain a complete picture of the Company's performance. The GAAP results provide the ability to understand the Company's performance based on a defined set of criteria. The non-GAAP measures reflect the underlying operating results of the Company's businesses, excluding non-cash items, which management believes is an important measure of the Company's overall performance. The Company provides a detailed reconciliation of the non-GAAP performance measures to their most directly comparable GAAP measures, and encourages investors to review this reconciliation.

Usefulness of Non-GAAP Measures to Investors

Orthofix believes that providing non-GAAP measures that exclude certain items provides investors with greater transparency to the information used by the Company's senior management in its financial and operational decision-making. Management believes it is important to provide investors with the same non-GAAP metrics it uses to supplement information regarding the performance and underlying trends of Orthofix's business operations in order to facilitate comparisons to its historical operating results and internally evaluate the effectiveness of the Company's operating strategies. Disclosure of these non-GAAP performance measures also facilitates comparisons of Orthofix's underlying operating performance with other companies in its industry that also supplement their GAAP results with non-GAAP performance measures.
