October 31, 2016
LEWISVILLE, Texas–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Orthofix International N.V. (NASDAQ:OFIX) today reported its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2016. For the third quarter of 2016, net sales were $98.5 million, earnings per share from continuing operations was $0.56 and adjusted earnings per share from continuing operations was $0.36.
“While we underperformed on the top-line during the quarter, primarily in our Spine Fixation business, I am very happy about where the company is today. We now have a solid infrastructure in place, a dominant position in the bone growth stimulation market, a strong balance sheet, improving free cash flow, and double-digit ROIC,” said President and Chief Executive Officer Brad Mason. “Although highly competitive, our markets remain very healthy, and we have plans in place to reinvigorate our top-line growth going forward.”
Third Quarter Financial Results
The following table provides net sales, net sales change and constant currency net sales change by strategic business unit (“SBU”) for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015:
| Three Months Ended September 30, | ||||||||||||
| (Unaudited, U.S. Dollars, in thousands) | 2016 | 2015 | Change | Constant
Currency Change |
||||||||
| BioStim | $ | 42,956 | $ | 41,559 | 3.4 | % | 3.4 | % | ||||
| Biologics | 14,335 | 14,639 | (2.1 | %) | (2.1 | %) | ||||||
| Extremity Fixation | 24,314 | 24,694 | (1.5 | %) | 0.0 | % | ||||||
| Spine Fixation | 16,892 | 20,259 | (16.6 | %) | (16.7 | %) | ||||||
| Total net sales | $ | 98,497 | $ | 101,151 | (2.6 | %) | (2.3 | %) | ||||
The growth in the BioStim SBU in the period was primarily driven by increased order counts from an expanding customer base and procedure volumes. The decrease in the Biologics SBU was due to underperformance in our largest of three sales regions, which has now been restructured, in addition to an increasing number of competitors in the stem cell allograft market and an associated reduction in average sales price. Trinity allograft tissue volumes and net sales increased slightly over prior year in the U.S. The decrease in the Extremity Fixation SBU was largely due to the negative impact of foreign currency translation. Excluding this impact, net sales were consistent with the prior year and up 5.4% on a trailing twelve month basis. The decrease in net sales in the Spine Fixation SBU was primarily due to the timing of international cash collections, the loss of several key surgeons early in the year in the U.S. and the exclusion from a large national hospital account in the second quarter.
Gross profit increased $1.3 million to $78.6 million. Gross margin increased to 79.8% as compared to 76.4% in the prior year period.
Sales and marketing expenses decreased primarily due to bad debt expense recorded for Puerto Rico in the third quarter of 2015 and a reduction of certain indirect tax liabilities in the current quarter.
Net margin (gross profit less sales and marketing expenses) was $36.9 million, an increase of 18.4% compared to $31.2 million in the prior year period.
General and administrative expenses decreased primarily due to a commercial litigation settlement whereby the Company will receive a $3.0 million cash payment and a decrease in other professional fees and consulting costs of $1.9 million, offset by an increase in share-based compensation expense of $5.8 million, which included $4.8 million in expense associated with the Company’s performance-based vesting restricted stock.
Charges related to U.S. Government resolutions were incurred during the quarter of $1.5 million relating to our ongoing settlement discussions with the SEC as further discussed in our Form 10-Q for the third quarter ended September 30, 2016.
Operating income was $9.3 million compared to operating income of $4.1 million in the prior year period.
Net income from continuing operations was $10.4 million, or $0.56 per share, compared to net loss of $0.8 million, or ($0.04) per share in the prior year period.
Adjusted net income from continuing operations was $6.6 million, or $0.36 per share, compared to adjusted net income of $5.3 million, or $0.28 per share in the prior year period.
EBITDA increased to $14.1 million, compared to $7.6 million in the prior year period. Adjusted EBITDA increased to $23.5 million or 23.9% of net sales for the third quarter, compared to $15.9 million or 15.7% of net sales in the prior year period.
As of September 30, 2016, cash and cash equivalents were $46.8 million compared to $63.7 million as of December 31, 2015. This change was primarily driven by share repurchases, partially offset by an increase in operating cash flows. As of September 30, 2016 the Company had no outstanding indebtedness and borrowing capacity of $125 million.
Share Repurchase Plan
As previously announced, the Company initiated a share repurchase plan in the fourth quarter of 2015 of up to $75 million of the Company’s common stock through the end of September 2017. As of September 30, 2016, the Company had repurchased a cumulative total of approximately 1,627,000 shares of common stock for $66.6 million under this plan, of which approximately 253,000 shares of common stock were repurchased for $11.1 million in the third quarter of 2016. From October 1, 2016, to October 28, 2016, the Company has made additional repurchases of 211,671 shares for an amount equal to $8.4 million to complete the share repurchase plan.

Net Margin
Net margin is a non-GAAP financial measure, which is calculated by subtracting sales and marketing from gross profit. Net margin is the primary metric used by the Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker in managing the Company.
Free Cash Flow
Free cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure, which is calculated by subtracting capital expenditures from cash flow from operating activities. Free cash flow is an important indicator of how much cash is generated or used by our normal business operations, including capital expenditures. Management uses free cash flow as a measure of progress on its capital efficiency and cash flow initiatives.
Constant Currency
Constant currency measures actual performance using foreign currency rates from the comparable, prior-year period, to present actuals at comparable rates. Constant currency can be presented for numerous GAAP measures, but is most commonly used by management to compare revenues without the impact of changes in foreign currencies. When disclosed, constant currency measures are presented with the applicable GAAP measure for comparability.
Effective Tax Rate Used in Adjusted Net Income from Continuing Operations and Adjusted Earnings per Diluted Share from Continuing Operations
The Company believes using a 38% effective tax rate is meaningful given it reflects management’s expectation of its long-term normalized tax rate, which is based on current tax law and current expected income. The Company’s actual income tax expense will ultimately be based on its GAAP performance and may differ from the 38% rate used in the financial measures due to a variety of factors, including the jurisdictions in which profits are determined to be earned and taxed, the resolution of issues arising from tax audits with various tax authorities, and the ability to realize deferred tax assets.
Management use of, and economic substance behind, Non-GAAP Financial 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.
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 financial measures. Some of the limitations associated with the use of these non-GAAP financial measures are that they exclude items that reflect an economic cost to the Company and can have a material effect on cash flows. Similarly, certain non-cash expenses such as 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 financial 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, which management believes is an important measure of the Company’s overall performance. The Company provides a detailed reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial 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 financial 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 financial measures.
