Management Comment

Exactech CEO and President David Petty said, “Our first half results were generally strong. Exactech overall is growing well with net income up 12% in the quarter and 10% in the first half. System wide revenue is up 6%. This reflects our ability to differentiate ourselves and to compete effectively in a turbulent environment. This also underscores our ongoing success in providing a positive experience for our surgeon customers and hospitals.

“Our U.S. knee sales showed growth in units that was offset by price reductions in the quarter that kept revenue flat. Shoulder sales continued to be a major driver with a gain of 17% as we again gained market share in a rapidly growing market. We were pleased with hip sales that were up 6% for the quarter and as a result we feel extremely good about the second half of 2014 for our hip business with the second half launch of the Alteon Tapered Wedge stem system. Growth in our spine business continues to be offset by lower biologic revenues resulting in a 5% decrease in revenue in that segment.

“U.S. sales were up 6% to $42.2 million compared with $39.9 million in the second quarter a year ago. International sales increased 5% to $21.7 million. U.S. sales represented 66% of total sales and international sales were 34% of the total. For the first six months of 2014, U.S. sales rose 6% to $83.8 million compared with $78.8 million in 2013, representing 66% of total sales and International sales increased 6% to $43.4 million and remained at 34% of total sales,” Petty said.

Chief Financial Officer Jody Phillips said, “Gross margins increased to 69.4% from 68.5% for the second quarter a year ago. Total operating expenses for the second quarter increased 6% to $37.5 million and as a percentage of sales increased to 59% from 58%. With an operating profit increase of 10% to $6.8 million we are delivering the operating margin leverage that we have been targeting. Our balance sheet reflected the strong progress we are making in creating positive cash flow, which has enabled us to reduce debt down to very manageable levels and provides us with additional strength going forward.”

Looking forward, Exactech updated its 2014 revenue guidance to $249-$253 million and its diluted EPS target to $1.19–$1.23. For the third quarter ending September 30, 2014, the company said it anticipates revenues of $57.5-$59.5 million and diluted EPS of $0.24-$0.26.
