Fourth Quarter Highlights

 

Fiscal Year 2019 Highlights

LEWISVILLE, Texas — February 24, 2020 — Orthofix Medical Inc. (NASDAQ:OFIX) today reported its financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended December 31, 2019.  For the fourth quarter of 2019, net sales were $121.5 million, earnings per share (“EPS”) was $0.60 and adjusted EPS was $0.51. For fiscal year 2019, net sales were $460.0 million, EPS was ($1.51) and adjusted EPS was $1.47.

 

“I joined Orthofix because I saw a significant opportunity. The last few months spent with this talented team and our external stakeholders has me even more excited about the future of this Company,” said Jon Serbousek, President and Chief Executive Officer. “We have well defined market and technology leadership positions in bone growth stimulation, cellular based allografts, extremity deformity correction, and artificial disc replacement. This combined with the solid infrastructure we have in place gives us the platform to scale in all of our businesses. We are already executing on our recently developed Strategic Plan, which we believe will accelerate our growth and maximize shareholder value.”  

Serbousek further commented, “During the fourth quarter, revenue from the M6 cervical disc in the U.S. outpaced our expectations, which highlights the significant opportunity we have with this technology. While some of our other product categories experienced some headwinds due to continued distraction, we believe we are putting the pieces in place to reposition Orthofix for accelerating topline growth.”

 

Financial Results Overview

Fourth Quarter

The following table provides net sales by major product category by reporting segment:

 

 

Gross profit decreased by $0.1 million to $95.3 million and gross margin decreased slightly to 78.4%, compared to 78.8% in the prior year period.

Net income was $11.7 million, or $0.60 per share, compared to net income of $8.9 million, or $0.46 per share in the prior year period. Adjusted net income was $9.9 million, or $0.51 per share, compared to adjusted net income of $10.7 million, or $0.56 per share in the prior year period.

---

 

EBITDA was $11.3 million, compared to $16.8 million in the prior year period. Adjusted EBITDA was $22.5 million, or 18.5% of net sales, compared to $24.4 million, or 20.2% of net sales, in the prior year period.

 

Fiscal Year 2019

The following table provides net sales by major product category by reporting segments:

 

Gross profit increased $2.9 million to $359.3 million, while gross margin decreased to 78.1%, compared to 78.7% in prior year.

Based on the initial success observed in our launch of the M6-C artificial cervical disc in the U.S. market, our long-term forecasts of net sales indicate a greater likelihood of achieving the potential revenue-based milestone payments associated with the Spinal Kinetics acquisition as compared to our original projections in 2018. As such, we recognized expenses during the year of $29.1 million associated with the remeasurement of these potential milestone payment liabilities.

Net loss was ($28.5) million, or ($1.51) per share, compared to net income of $13.8 million, or $0.72 per share, in the prior year. This decrease was primarily driven by the remeasurement of the potential Spinal Kinetics milestone payment liabilities discussed above. Adjusted net income was $28.4 million, or $1.47 per share, compared to adjusted net income of $34.4 million, or $1.81 per share, in the prior year.

EBITDA was ($2.2) million, compared to $42.4 million in the prior year, largely due to the remeasurement of the potential Spinal Kinetics milestone payment liabilities, losses on investment securities, and succession and transition charges. Adjusted EBITDA was $75.7 million, or 16.5% of net sales for the year, compared to $87.6 million, or 19.3% of net sales, in the prior year.

 

Liquidity

As of December 31, 2019, cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash totaled $70.4 million compared to $72.2 million as of December 31, 2018. Cash flow from operations decreased $17.9 million to $32.0 million when compared to the prior year, while free cash flow decreased $23.2 million to $11.5 million.

As of December 31, 2019, the Company had no outstanding indebtedness and borrowing capacity of $300 million under its credit facility.

 

FitBone

As recently announced, we entered into an asset purchase agreement with Wittenstein SE, a privately-held German-based company, to acquire assets associated with the FITBONE® intramedullary lengthening system for limb lengthening of the femur and tibia bones. The addition of the FITBONE assets will further round out the Company’s limb reconstruction offerings, and will align with our strategy of investing in innovative products to drive growth within our core businesses. We expect the transaction to close at the end of March.

The Company does not provide U.S. GAAP financial measures, other than net sales, on a forward-looking basis because the Company is unable to predict with reasonable certainty the ultimate outcome of legal proceedings, unusual gains and losses, acquisition-related expenses, accounting fair value adjustments, and other such items without unreasonable effort. These items are uncertain, depend on various factors, and could be material to the Company’s results computed in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The following tables present reconciliations of operating income (loss), net income (loss), EPS, and net cash from operating activities, in each case calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), to, as applicable, non-GAAP financial measures, referred to as "EBITDA," "Adjusted EBITDA," "Adjusted net income," "Adjusted EPS," and "Free cash flow" that exclude items specified in the tables. A more detailed explanation of the items excluded from these non-GAAP financial measures, as well as why management believes the non-GAAP financial measures are useful to them, is included following the reconciliations.

Constant Currency

Constant currency is a non-GAAP measure, which is calculated by using foreign currency rates from the comparable, prior-year period, to present net sales at comparable rates. Constant currency can be presented for numerous GAAP measures, but is most commonly used by management to analyze net sales without the impact of changes in foreign currency rates.

 

EBITDA

EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure, which is calculated by adding interest expense, net; income tax (expense)/benefit; and depreciation and amortization to net income (loss). EBITDA provides management with additional insight to its results of operations. EBITDA is the primary metric used by our Chief Operating Decision Maker in managing our business.

 

Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS

These non-GAAP financial measures provide management with additional insight to its results of operations and are calculated using the following adjustments:

Amounts previously reported as “Domestication to Delaware” have been reclassified to this line item to conform to current period presentation, resulting in an increase in strategic investments of $0.5 million and $4.2 million for the three months and year ended December 31, 2018

Also included in this line are adjustments totaling $0.03 per share in the presentation of Adjusted EPS to account for the difference in the weighted average number of shares outstanding for GAAP and Non-GAAP reporting purposes due to our reported net loss position under GAAP and net income position under Non-GAAP for the year ended December 31, 2019, as these charges were the primary driver of our net loss position

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.

 

Usefulness and Limitations of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Management uses non-GAAP measures to evaluate performance period-over-period, to analyze the underlying trends in our business, to assess performance relative to 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 our business units.

 

Material Limitations Associated with the Use of Non-GAAP Financial 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 and can have a material effect on cash flows. Similarly, certain non-cash expenses, such as equity compensation, do not directly impact cash flows, but are part of total compensation costs accounted for under GAAP.

 

Compensation for Limitations Associated with Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We compensate for the limitations of our non-GAAP financial measures by relying upon GAAP results to gain a complete picture of our performance. The GAAP results provide the ability to understand our performance based on a defined set of criteria. The non-GAAP measures reflect the underlying operating results of our businesses, which we believe is an important measure of our overall performance. We provide a detailed reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to our most directly comparable GAAP measures, and encourage investors to review this reconciliation.

 

Usefulness of Non-GAAP Financial Measures to Investors

We believe that providing non-GAAP financial measures that exclude certain items provides investors with greater transparency to the information used by 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 our business operations in order to facilitate comparisons to its historical operating results and internally evaluate the effectiveness of our operating strategies. Disclosure of these non-GAAP financial measures also facilitates comparisons of our underlying operating performance with other companies in the industry that also supplement their GAAP results with non-GAAP financial measures.
