(1) The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA (net income before net interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization) plus (i) expenses (minus gains) that we do not consider reflective of our ongoing operations and (ii) certain non-cash compensation charges. As presented, Adjusted EBITDA adds back restructuring and other related charges, debt prepayment penalties, certain non-cash equity related charges, write-off of inventory step-up related to the MedSource acquisition, gain on sale of property, severance of an Executive Vice President and receipt of previously written-off account receivable acquired as part of the MedSource acquisition. We use EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure of our performance. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA have limitations as analytical tools, and
6
you should not consider EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. We present EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA because we consider them important supplemental measures of the Company’s performance and believe they are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of high yield issuers, many of which present EBITDA and/or Adjusted EBITDA when reporting their results.
(2) We have presented pro forma results of operations for the periods presented because (i) our 2004 historical results do not include operating results for MedSource for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2004, and (ii) our capital structure changed significantly on June 30, 2004 as a result of the MedSource acquisition and related financing and other transactions described below. Accordingly, we believe the pro forma results of operations presented herein are useful in understanding our 2005 operating results. The Company’s pro forma results of operations for the periods presented give effect to the following transactions as if they had occurred on January 1, 2004: the MedSource acquisition and related payment of MedSource’s then existing debt; the payment of the Company’s previous senior secured credit facility and senior subordinated indebtedness and Accellent Inc.’s previous senior indebtedness; the borrowings under our new senior secured credit facility; and the issuance of the Company’s $175 million principal amount 10% senior subordinated notes due 2012. Such information is presented for comparative purposes only and does not purport to represent what our results of operations would actually have been had these transactions occurred on the date indicated or to project our results of operations for any future period or date. The basis for the Company’s pro forma results is detailed in our registration statement on Form S-4, as amended, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (Commission File No. 333-122619) on February 8, 2005.
