Boston, MA, Oct 27, 2010 – Orthofix International N.V. (NASDAQ:OFIX) (the Company) today announced its results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2010. Total revenue was $138.9 million, an increase of 3% over the third quarter of last year. Third quarter revenue growth on a constant currency basis was 4% excluding the $1.5 million unfavorable impact of foreign currency on third quarter sales. Excluding the impact of the Company exiting its non-core vascular and anesthesia businesses adjusted revenue totaled $136.2 million which was an increase of 7% compared with adjusted revenue in the prior year.
Reported third quarter net income totaled $8.5 million, or $0.48 per diluted share. This represented an increase of 33% compared with reported net income of $0.36 per diluted share in the third quarter of the prior year. Excluding a foreign exchange loss during the quarter, adjusted
net income was $0.50 per diluted share, which was an increase of 14% over adjusted net income of $0.44 in the prior year.
The Company’s reported third quarter operating income was $19.0 million, or 13.7% of total revenue. This was a 7% increase over reported operating income of $17.6 million, or 13.1% of revenue, in the prior year. Operating income in the third quarter of 2010 included the impact of $3.7 million in legal expenses associated with the DOJ investigation of the bone growth stimulation industry and the Company’s internal investigation into its compliance with the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act in its subsidiary in Mexico.
“We were very pleased with our third quarter results, which included strong revenue growth in both our spinal implants and biologics and spine stimulation divisions,” said President and CEO Alan Milinazzo. “Additionally, with the improved operating leverage we have achieved as a result of our recent reorganization, we were able to generate solid earnings growth despite the need to absorb higher costs associated with certain ongoing legal matters.”
Guidance
The Company expects to report total fourth quarter revenue of $144 million to $148 million, which would result in total full-year revenue of between $564.5 million and $568.5 million. The Company also expects to report fourth quarter earnings of $0.59 to $0.62 per share, which would result in full-year earnings of between $2.62 and $2.65 per share.
Non-GAAP Performance Measures
The tables below present reconciliations of third quarter revenue and net income calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) to non-GAAP performance measures, referred to as “Adjusted Revenue” and “Adjusted Net Income” that exclude the items specified in the tables. The Regulation G Supplemental Information Schedule attached to this release includes additional reconciliations between GAAP measures and non-GAAP measures referred to as “Consolidated EBITDA” and “Adjusted Sports Medicine Revenue”. 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. A more detailed explanation of the items in the tables below that are excluded from GAAP revenue and GAAP net income, as
well as why management believes the non-GAAP measures are useful to them, is included in the Regulation G Supplemental Information schedule attached to this press release.

Revenue
Total third quarter sales in the Company’s spine sector were up 14% year-over-year, to $77.4 million. Spine stimulation revenue increased 9%, to $43.2 million, driven by the continued success of the Company’s devices, which include the only FDA-approved stimulator for the cervical spine. Spinal implants and biologics revenue was $34.2 million, which was 20% higher than the third quarter of 2009. The year-over-year growth in spinal implants and biologics revenue was primarily due to an increase in U.S. sales of the Firebird™ pedicle screw system, Pillar™ SA interbody device, and the Trinity® Evolution™ allograft.
Third quarter revenue in Orthofix’s orthopedic business was $34.0 million, which was an increase of 2%, and represented growth of 6% on a constant currency basis, compared with the prior year. The constant currency revenue growth was driven primarily by international sales of the Company’s internal and external fixation devices and U.S. sales of Trinity Evolution.
Sports medicine revenue in the third quarter decreased 4% as reported, compared with 2009, to $23.7 million. The decrease in total sales included the impact of a revenue recognition change for one distributor, which resulted in the commission expense related to the distributor now being recorded as a reduction of that distributor’s gross sales Excluding the impact of this change, sports medicine revenue in the third quarter was approximately 2% lower year-over-year.
Other revenue decreased 58% to approximately $3.8 million in the third quarter as a result of the Company’s strategy to eliminate non-core revenue while focusing on increasing its strategic revenue. The decrease was due to the previously announced sale of the Company’s vascular business, as well as the expiration of two laryngeal mask distribution agreements in Italy and the United Kingdom.
Gross Margin
The gross profit margin in the third quarter of 2010 was 76.8%, which was 50 basis points higher than the third quarter of 2009. The year-over-year improvement is primarily due to increased sales of the Company’s higher gross margin products.
Operating Expenses
Third quarter sales and marketing (S&M) expenses were 41.2% of total revenue, which was 50 basis points higher than the third quarter in the prior year. The increase was due primarily to the Company exiting its non-core vascular and anesthesia businesses, which carried lower S&M expenses as a percent of revenue generated.
General and administrative (G&A) expenses in the third quarter of 2010 increased by 10 basis points year-over-year, to 15.5% of total sales. This included the impact of approximately $3.7 million ($2.2 million net of tax, or $0.12 per share) in legal expenses associated with the DOJ’s investigation of the bone growth stimulation industry, as well as costs incurred in connection with the Company’s internal investigation into compliance with the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act at its Promeca subsidiary in Mexico. The G&A ratio in the third quarter of 2009 included $627,000 ($376,200 net of tax, or $0.02 per share) in costs associated with the reorganization and consolidation plan at the Company’s Spinal Implants and Biologics division.
Research and development (R&D) expenses as a percent of revenue were 5.3% in the third quarter of 2010, compared with 5.8% in the prior year. The R&D ratio in the third quarter of the prior year included the impact of a $750,000 ($450,000 net of tax, or $0.02 per share) milestone payment associated with the Company’s strategic agreement with Intelligent Implant Systems.
Other Income and Expenses
Third quarter net interest expense was $3.5 million, compared with net interest expense of $6.4 million in the third quarter of the prior year. The year-over-year decrease reflects a lower outstanding debt balance as well as a lower interest rate resulting from the previously announced payoff of an interest rate swap and the refinancing of the Company’s outstanding long term debt. Additionally, in connection with the refinancing of its debt during the third quarter of this year the Company incurred expenses of approximately $550,000 related to the write-off of remaining capitalized debt placement costs associated with its previous credit agreement.
The Company also incurred a foreign exchange loss of approximately $689,000 ($411,000 net of tax, or $0.02 per share) in the third quarter primarily due to foreign currency adjustments resulting from a strengthening of the U.S. dollar against various foreign currencies. A number of Orthofix’s foreign subsidiaries have intercompany and trade accounts payable that are denominated in currencies, most notably the U.S. Dollar, other than their local currency, and movements in the relative values of those currencies have and are expected to continue to result in foreign exchange gains and losses.
Taxes
The reported tax rate in the third quarter of 2010 was approximately 40 percent. The year-to-date tax rate was approximately 37%, which is comparable to the year-to-date tax in the prior year.
Cash and Liquidity
Orthofix’s third quarter Consolidated EBITDA as calculated in accordance with the Company’s new credit facility was $26.0 million, which was comparable with Consolidated EBITDA in the third quarter of the prior year. Consolidated EBITDA in the third quarter of 2010 included the impact of $3.7 million in legal expenses associated with the DOJ investigation of the bone growth stimulation industry and the Company’s internal investigation into compliance with the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act at its Promeca subsidiary in Mexico. At the end of the third
quarter the Company’s leverage ratio, as defined in its new credit facility, was 2.0, which was below the 3.25 maximum leverage ratio allowed.
Cash flow from operations in the third quarter of 2010 was approximately $7.6 million, compared with cash flow from operations of $11.2 million in the prior year. The year-over-year decrease is primarily attributable to an $8.2 million increase in restricted cash on the cash flow statement. Restricted cash is available for operational and debt repayment purposes for all of the Company’s subsidiaries which are parties to the Company’s credit facility.
The total cash balance of $37.2 million at September 30, 2010 compared with $25.0 million at December 31, 2009. The cash balance at September 30th reflected the impact of a $4.8 million payment to pay off the interest rate swap in the second quarter, as well as approximately $30 million in debt repayments, including a repayment of $4.3 million in the third quarter. Additionally, the Company made a $5 million debt repayment subsequent to the end of the third quarter.

Description of Third Quarter Specified Items
Adjusted Net Income
• | Loss on interest rate swap- realized change in the fair market value of the Company’s interest rate swap. Mark-to-market adjustments were required to be reported in quarterly earnings. The Company paid off the swap approximately one year early in Q210. |

Section 3
Management use of, and economic substance behind, Non-GAAP Performance 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. In addition, following the Company’s acquisition of Blackstone Medical, and the related increase in Orthofix’s debt, management has increased its focus on cash generation and debt reduction. Management uses these non-GAAP measures as the basis for assessing the ability of the underlying operations to generate cash for use in paying down debt. In addition, management uses these non-GAAP measures to further its understanding of the performance of the Company’s business segments. The items excluded from Orthofix’s non-GAAP measures are also excluded from the profit or loss reported by the Company’s business segments for the purpose of analyzing their performance.
Material Limitations Associated with the Use of Non-GAAP Measures
The non-GAAP measures used in this release may have limitations as analytical tools, and should not be considered in isolation or as a replacement for GAAP performance measures. Some of the limitations associated with the use of these non-GAAP performance measures are that they exclude items that reflect an economic cost to the Company and can have a material effect on cash flows. Similarly, 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 performance 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, excluding non-cash items, which management believes is an important measure of
the Company’s overall performance. The Company provides a detailed reconciliation of the non-GAAP performance 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 that providing this information enables investors to better understand the performance of the Company’s ongoing operations and to understand the methodology used by management to evaluate and measure such performance. Disclosure of these non-GAAP performance 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 performance measures.
