RTI Surgical® Announces 2017 Third Quarter Results

November 02, 2017

ALACHUA, Fla.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–RTI Surgical Inc. (RTI) (Nasdaq: RTIX), a global surgical implant company, reported operating results for the third quarter, ended September 30, 2017.

RTI generated $66.7 million in revenue, driven by growth in the company’s spine, commercial and international businesses. Earnings for the third quarter totaled $16.5 million, which includes a $34.1 million gain from the sale of RTI’s Cardiothoracic closure business, which was announced on August 3, 2017.

“We believe our focus to reduce complexity, drive operational excellence and accelerate growth continued to support solid financial and operational progress during the most recent quarter,” said Camille Farhat, chief executive officer, RTI. “We delivered on our financial commitments while mobilizing across our organization to mitigate the impact of the recent hurricanes, which disrupted end-user demand across many of our markets and necessitated the closure of our Florida operations for several days.”

RTI estimates a permanent loss in excess of $1.2 million of product revenue during the quarter, due to the cancellation of procedures in regions impacted by the storms. The lost revenue in conjunction with facility closure cost impacted net income by approximately $0.5 million during the quarter. “RTI’s operating team’s response was outstanding,” Farhat said. “Stellar planning and collaboration across the organization minimized the disruption and ensured we could quickly resume operations and support our customers.”

During the quarter, three highly experienced executives were added to the leadership team: Jonathon Singer as chief financial & administrative officer, Olivier Visa as head of OEM, Donor Services and Sports franchises, and Julius Aviza as leader of the quality assurance function.

“Each has a long resume of success and, we believe, will play a key role in driving the execution of our strategic objectives. Our entire leadership team has quickly aligned around accelerating initiatives to reduce complexity and drive operational excellence toward those areas that we believe will have the greatest impact on earnings growth and cash generation over the next 12-18 months,” Farhat commented. “With my confidence that our leadership team is driving these initiatives, we will expand our effort to find new and better ways to serve our customers by enhancing our product portfolio and evaluating and pursuing strategic growth opportunities intended to capitalize on our strengths and enable us to take market leadership positions.”

Third Quarter 2017

RTI’s revenues for the third quarter of 2017 were $66.7 million, a slight increase from the prior year quarter revenues of $66.5 million. Third quarter revenues were driven by growth in spine, commercial and international, partially offset by a $1.6 million reduction from the sale of substantially all the assets of the Cardiothoracic closure business. In addition, RTI estimates that the impact of domestic hurricanes during the quarter reduced revenue by approximately $1.2 million due to cancellation of procedures. Gross profit for the third quarter of 2017 was $33.5 million, or 50.3% of revenue, compared to $34.3 million, or 51.5% of revenue in the third quarter of 2016. Gross margin was impacted adversely by approximately $0.9 million in the third quarter of 2017 due to the loss of revenue and the closure of RTI’s Florida facilities due to hurricanes during the period, and by $1.3 million due to the sale of the Cardiothoracic closure business.

During the third quarter of 2017, RTI completed the sale of substantially all the assets related to its Cardiothoracic closure business for total consideration of $54 million, plus an additional $6 million in contingent cash consideration. In conjunction with the sale of the Cardiothoracic closure business, the company recognized a gain of $34.1 million, or $18.2 million after-tax.

During the third quarter of 2017, RTI incurred $2.8 million in severance charges predominantly to support executive leadership transition and our efforts to enhance our strategic focus to reduce complexity and drive operational excellence.

Net income applicable to common shares was $16.5 million, or $0.23 per fully diluted common share in the third quarter of 2017, compared to a net loss applicable to common shares of $4.5 million, or $0.08 per fully diluted common share in the third quarter of 2016. As outlined in the reconciliation tables that follow, excluding the impact of the Cardiothoracic closure sale gain and severance charges in the third quarter of 2017, adjusted net income applicable to common shares was $0.4 million, or $0.01 per fully diluted common share in the third quarter of 2017.

Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (Adjusted EBITDA) of $8.1 million was comparable to the third quarter of 2016.

Fiscal 2017 Outlook

RTI has developed its guidance based on the company’s ongoing restructuring and operational improvement program, its current business profile and existing market conditions.

Within this context, based on third quarter 2017 results and the transition of the Cardiothoracic closure business from a direct business to a commercial business due to the sale, RTI continues to expect full year revenues for 2017 to be between $274 million and $280 million. Due primarily to the third quarter impact of the hurricanes, RTI has narrowed the guidance range for adjusted full year net income per fully diluted common share to be between $0.05 and $0.07 based on 61 million fully diluted shares outstanding when adjusted for non-recurring activity as detailed in the reconciliation provided below.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements presented on a GAAP basis, the Company discloses certain non-GAAP financial measures that exclude certain amounts, including EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income Applicable to Common Shares and Adjusted Net Income per Common Share – Diluted. The calculation of the tax effect on the adjustments between GAAP net (loss) income applicable to common shares and non-GAAP net income applicable to common shares is based upon our estimated annual GAAP tax rate, adjusted to account for items excluded from GAAP net (loss) income applicable to common shares in calculating Adjusted Net Income Applicable to Common Shares-Diluted. A reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to the corresponding GAAP measures is included in the tables listed above.

The following is an explanation of the adjustments that management excluded as part of adjusted measures for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 as well as the reason for excluding the individual items:

Severance charges – This adjustment represents charges relating to the termination of former employees. Management removes the amount of these costs from our operating results to supplement a comparison to our past operating performance.

Restructuring charges – This adjustment represents the closure of our French distribution and tissue procurement office. Management removes the amount of these costs from our operating results to supplement a comparison to our past operating performance.

Strategic review costs – This adjustment represents charges relating to a comprehensive strategic review of the Company’s business lines and operations intended to leverage the Company’s expertise, technology and products and identify opportunities to increase stockholder value. Management removes the amount of these expenses from our operating results to supplement a comparison to our past operating performance.

CEO Retirement and transition costs – This adjustment represents charges relating to the retirement of our former Chief Executive Officer, and the resulting financial impact of such resignation under the Executive Transition Agreement dated August 29, 2012 and Executive Separation Agreement dated August 15, 2016. Management removes the amount of these expenses from our operating results to supplement a comparison to our past operating performance.

Contested proxy expenses – This adjustment represents charges relating to contested proxy expenses. Management removes the amount of these costs from our operating results to supplement a comparison to our past operating performance.

Gain on Cardiothoracic closure business divestiture – This adjustment represents the gain relating to the sale of substantially all the assets of our Cardiothoracic closure business to A&E. Management removes the amount of this gain from our operating results to supplement a comparison to our past operating performance.

Material Limitations Associated with the Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income Applicable to Common Shares and Adjusted Net Income per Common Share – Diluted should not be considered in isolation, or as a replacement for GAAP measures.

Usefulness of Non-GAAP Financial Measures to Investors

The Company believes that presenting EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income Applicable to Common Shares and Adjusted Net Income per Common Share – Diluted in addition to the related GAAP measures provide investors greater transparency to the information used by management in its financial decision-making. The Company further believes that providing this information better enables the Company’s investors to understand the Company’s overall core performance and to evaluate the methodology used by management to assess and measure such performance.
