Management Comment

Exactech CEO and President David Petty said, “The first half of 2015 posed difficult challenges. We faced strong currency headwinds, worked to optimize our inventory flow and supply service levels and executed some disruptive but necessary changes within our domestic sales channel. We also invested heavily in our pipeline of new products, several of which initially will be used in surgeries during the second half of the year. Partially because of improvements we have made to our sales force and also because of the initial availability of new revision systems in our hip, knee and shoulder product lines, we expect the second half will be considerably better. This should result in a satisfactory year’s performance, providing positive momentum as we head into 2016.”

“Worldwide sales for the first half of 2015 decreased 3% to $122.9 million and were flat on a constant currency basis. U.S. sales were down 2% to $82.5 million compared with $83.8 million in the first half a year ago. International sales decreased 7% to $40.3 million. U.S. sales for the second quarter of 2015 were down 2% to $41.3 million compared with $42.2 million in the second quarter a year ago. International sales decreased 7% to $20.2 million. On a constant currency basis, international sales increased 4% and worldwide sales were flat for the second quarter. U.S. sales represented 67% of total sales and international sales were 33% of the total,” Petty said.

Chief Financial Officer Jody Phillips said, “Gross margins decreased largely as expected to 68.6% for the second quarter of 2015 vs 69.4% in the second quarter of 2014 due to pricing and currency impacts. Total operating expenses for the quarter decreased 4% to $36.0 million and as a percentage of sales were 59%, the same as the second quarter of 2014. General and administrative expenses increased 2% in the second quarter at $5.8 million and sales and marketing expenses decreased 6% to $21.5 million primarily due to the currency impact of our direct operations in Europe. We continued to produce positive cash flows, which resulted in a $3.3 million improvement in our cash and net debt position during the second quarter.”

Looking forward, Exactech updated its 2015 revenue guidance to $246-$250 million and its diluted EPS target to $1.16–$1.20. For the third quarter ending September 30, 2015, the company said it anticipates revenues of $58.0-$60.0 million and diluted EPS of $0.23-$0.25.
