Revenue for the fourth quarter 2012 was $106.6 million, up 26.1% compared to $84.5 million in the same period last year. The year-over-year revenue increase was driven by growth in the Company’s OEM Solutions and Symmetry Surgical segments. Symmetry Surgical segment results for the fourth quarter 2012 included the Company’s December 2011 acquisition of the surgical instruments business of Codman & Shurtleff, Inc.
The increase in revenue in the Company’s OEM Solutions segment to $78.1 million in the fourth quarter 2012 from $73.3 million in the fourth quarter 2011 was driven by increased implant demand by OEM customers as a result of stronger procedural growth and reduced impact of unfavorable inventory reductions made in the fourth quarter 2011. Additionally, instrument revenue benefitted from continued stable customer capital spending as compared to the fourth quarter 2011, which included reduced customer capital spending on instruments. These increases were partially offset by continued weaker case customer demand and market share loss in the case business. Foreign currency exchange rates had a neutral impact on the fourth quarter 2012 OEM Solutions segment revenue as compared to the fourth quarter 2011. On a sequential basis, fourth quarter 2012 OEM Solutions revenue was up 2.6% compared to the third quarter 2012, primarily driven by increased demand in the Implant and Other categories, and indicative of the improved procedural growth reported by the Company’s OEM customers during the fourth quarter 2012.
The increase in revenue from the Company’s Symmetry Surgical segment to $28.5 million in the fourth quarter 2012 from $11.2 million in the fourth quarter 2011 was primarily due to the inclusion of $13.1 million of revenues from the Company’s acquisition of the surgical instruments business of Codman & Shurtleff, Inc., as well as, a one-time purchase of $2.9 million by an OEM Solutions customer who was served by Symmetry Surgical. Excluding this acquisition and one-time purchase, Symmetry Surgical segment revenue increased 10.4% year-over-year and 3.0% sequentially.
Gross profit for the fourth quarter 2012 was $28.9 million, up 108.9% compared to $13.8 million in the same period last year. Gross margin percentage for the fourth quarter 2012 was 27.1%, compared to 16.4% in the fourth quarter 2011. The increase in gross margin was driven by a larger percentage of revenue from the Company’s higher margin Symmetry Surgical segment. Gross margin also benefitted from strength in OEM Solutions gross margin, which was primarily driven by improvements in scrap, consumables, and efficiencies resulting from the Company’s lean initiatives, as well as, increased leveraging of overhead costs.
Sales, marketing, general and administrative expenses in the fourth quarter 2012 were $19.0 million, compared to $15.2 million in the same period last year. The increase in the fourth quarter 2012 was primarily due to higher ongoing costs in the Symmetry Surgical segment for the Codman business which was acquired on December 29, 2011; thus, such costs did not impact 2011, including increased amortization of intangible assets $1.3 million. The fourth quarter 2012 also included a $0.5 million increase in stock compensation expense. This was offset by the reduction of $1.2 million in acquisition related costs and $0.5 million in management transition expenses. In addition, the fourth quarter 2011 included an impairment charge of $1.5 million related to the write off the Specialty Surgical Instruments (“SSi”) trade-name and SEC-related legal costs of $0.2 million, both of which did not recur in the fourth quarter 2012. Facility closure and severance costs were negligible in the fourth quarter of 2012, compared to costs of $0.2 million in the same period last year.
Operating income for the fourth quarter 2012 was $8.7 million, compared to an operating loss of $4.1 million in the same period last year. Operating margin was 8.2% in the fourth quarter 2012, compared to (4.8%) in the same period last year. Excluding amortization of intangible assets, stock compensation expense, management transition costs, acquisition related costs, the impairment of intangible asset in 2011, SEC-related legal costs, facility closure and severance costs, and legal entity restructuring costs, operating income for the fourth quarter 2012 was $13.7 million, up 403.2% compared to $2.7 million in the same period last year primarily driven by significantly improved gross margin in the OEM Solutions segment as well as the impact of the Codman surgical instruments acquisition.
Interest expense for the fourth quarter 2012 was $4.7 million, compared to interest expense of $1.1 million in the same period last year. This increase was driven by incremental debt utilized to complete the Codman surgical instruments acquisition in December 2011.
Income tax expense for the fourth quarter 2012 was $0.7 million, compared to an income tax benefit of $1.8 million in the same period last year, driven by the increase in pre-tax income.
Net income for the fourth quarter 2012 was $2.9 million, or$0.08 per diluted share, compared to net loss of $3.2 million, or $(0.09) per diluted share, in the same period last year. Excluding amortization of intangible assets and debt issuance costs, stock compensation expense, management transition costs, acquisition related costs, the impairment of intangible asset in 2011, SEC-related legal costs, facility closure and severance costs, and legal entity restructuring costs referenced above, net income for the fourth quarter 2012 was $6.1 million, or $0.17 per diluted share, compared to $1.3 million, or $0.04 per diluted share in the same period last year.
The weighted average number of diluted shares outstanding during the fourth quarter of 2012 was 36,590,612.
Revenue for the full year 2012 was $410.5 million, up 14.3% compared to $359.0 million reported in the full year 2011. Full year 2012 revenue in the OEM Solutions segment was $303.3 million, compared to $319.5 million in the same period last year. This decline in revenue was primarily due to weaker case customer demand. 2012 revenue was also impacted by $3.7 million due to the unfavorable impact of foreign currency exchange rates. Full year 2012 revenue in the Symmetry Surgical segment was $107.2 million, up 171.5% compared to $39.5 million in the same period last year, including the impact of the Olsen Medical acquisition and the acquisition of the surgical instruments business of Codman & Shurtleff, Inc., which contributed $59.8 million of revenue in the full year 2012. Excluding these acquisitions and the one-time fourth quarter purchase, the Symmetry Surgical segment grew 12.8% organically.
Gross margin percentage for the full year 2012 was 26.6%, compared to 19.8% for the full year 2011. Net income for the full year 2012 was $9.1 million, or $0.25 per diluted share, compared to $2.9 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, reported in the full year 2011. Excluding amortization of intangible assets and debt issuance costs, stock compensation expense, management transition costs, acquisition related costs, the impairment of intangible asset in 2011, SEC-related legal costs, facility closure and severance costs, and legal entity restructuring costs referenced above, net income for the full year 2012 was $20.7 million, or $0.57 per diluted share, compared to $13.6 million, or $0.38 per diluted share, reported in the full year 2011.
Thomas J. Sullivan, President and Chief Executive Officer of Symmetry Medical, stated, “In 2012 we successfully executed the key initiatives we outlined for the year. These included improving the gross margin in our OEM Solutions segment, integrating the Codman surgical instrument business into our Symmetry Surgical segment, commercializing a record number of new products, and delivering enhanced cash flow to significantly reduce our debt. 2012 reflected the initial benefit of these business initiatives, and combined with a stable-to-slightly-improving orthopedic procedure market, we believe we are well positioned to continue to enhance shareholder value with ongoing improvement in results in 2013 and beyond.”
