BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Encore Medical Corporation, a Delaware corporation, and its wholly owned subsidiaries (individually and collectively referred to as the "Company"). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and six month period ended June 29, 2001, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2001. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's Form 10-K dated December 31, 2000 (the "Form 10-K"). Certain amounts in the prior period have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. 2. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS The Company, through its primary operating subsidiary, Encore Orthopedics, Inc. ("Encore"), designs, manufactures, markets and sells products for the orthopedic implant industry primarily in the United States, Europe and Asia. The Company's products are subject to regulation by the Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") with respect to their sale in the United States, and the Company must obtain FDA authorization to market each of its products before it can be sold in the United States. Additionally, the Company is subject to similar regulations in many of the international countries in which it sells products. 3. OTHER CHARGES The components of other charges included in the consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 29, 2001 are as follows (in thousands): Compensation expense associated with stock option exchange program $917 Compensation expense associated with cashless exercise of options 171 Legal settlement charges 535 ------ $1,623 ====== In June 2001, Encore recorded compensation expense of $917 related to the cancellation of certain outstanding options to purchase common stock in exchange for common shares of the Company. In June 2001, a former employee exercised options by selling some of the shares acquired by this exercise back to the Company in sufficient quantity to cover the exercise price and related tax liability. This cashless exercise of options generated compensation expense of $171. Finally, in June 2001, the Company reached a settlement with Medica Holding AG ("Medica") related to a complaint filed by Medica associated with the sale of Series A Preferred Stock. The Company incurred two charges in connection with the settlement. The first charge of $125 relates to court ordered reimbursement of the plaintiff's legal expenses which resulted in the filing of a supplement to the original proxy statement. The second charge of $410 represents a non-cash benefit provided to the Company by the primary Series A Preferred Stock stockholders which arose as a result of its purchase of Medica's outstanding stock in the Company. Of the total charges of $1,623, only $479 represented a cash outlay by the Company. 5 4. INVENTORIES Inventories at June 29, 2001 and December 31, 2000 are as follows (in thousands): JUNE 29, DECEMBER 31, 2001 2000 ------- ------- Components and raw materials $ 4,231 $ 4,482 Work in process 1,470 2,162 Finished goods 16,405 18,322 ------- ------- 22,106 24,966 Less-reserve for obsolescence (3,250) (4,675) ------- ------- $18,856 $20,291 ======= ======= 5. SERIES A PREFERRED STOCK On June 12, 2001, the stockholders of the Company approved the issuance of 132,353 shares of Series A Preferred Stock at $102.00 per share for an aggregate purchase price of $13.5 million. The 132,353 shares of Series A Preferred Stock are immediately convertible into 13,253,300 shares of the Company's common stock. The holders of the Series A Preferred Stock have the right to designate up to two individuals to serve on the Company's Board of Directors. Each share of Series A Preferred Stock is entitled, for all matters except the election of directors, to one vote for each share of Common Stock into which such share of Series A Preferred Stock is then convertible. Shares of Series A Preferred Stock bear non-cumulative dividends at a rate of 8% per annum if declared by the Company. The holders of Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to certain other rights that are more expansive than the rights of the holders of common stock which are detailed in the Amended and Restated Series A Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement dated as of May 3, 2001. Issuance costs associated with the sale of Series A Stock amounted to $643,000. Certain terms of the Series A Preferred Stock, including redemption in the event of a change in control, result in the Series A Preferred Stock being treated as redeemable for financial accounting purposes. 6. EARNINGS PER SHARE The reconciliation of the denominators used to calculate the basic and diluted earnings per share for the periods ended June 29, 2001 and June 30, 2000, respectively, are as follows (in thousands): THREE MONTHS ENDED SIX MONTHS ENDED --------------------------- ----------------------------- JUNE 29, JUNE 30, JUNE 29, JUNE 30, 2001 2000 2001 2000 -------- ------ ----- ------ Shares used in computing basic earnings (loss) per share attributable to common stockholders 9,189 9,022 9,042 9,023 Plus: Common stock equivalents - 984 - 1,068 ----- ------ ----- ------ Shares used in computing diluted earnings (loss) per share attributable to common stockholders 9,189 10,006 9,042 10,091 ===== ====== ===== ====== Options and warrants to purchase 1,552,293 and 3,536,700 shares of common stock, respectively, were outstanding at June 29, 2001, but were not included in the computation of diluted EPS because the exercise of such options and warrants would be anti-dilutive. 6 7. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT In June 2001, The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," (SFAS No. 142) which changes how goodwill and other intangible assets are accounted for subsequent to their initial recognition. Under this standard, goodwill and other intangible assets having identifiable useful lives are no longer amortized, but are subjected to periodic assessments of impairment. SFAS No. 142 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. We are currently in the process of evaluating SFAS No. 142 and the effect it may have on our financial statements. As of this date, we have not determined whether SFAS No. 142 will have a material impact on our financial statements or results of operations. In the event that SFAS No. 142 is determined to have a material impact on our financial statements or results of operations, we would be required to report such changes no later than the quarter ending March 31, 2002. 8. SUBSEQUENT EVENT On July 2, 2001, the Company acquired Kimberly-Clark Corporation's line of orthopedic soft goods, patient safety devices and pressure care products (the "OSG Products") pursuant to that certain Asset Purchase Agreement dated July 2, 2001. The Company acquired fixed assets, inventory, customer lists, transferable licenses and intellectual property related to the production of the OSG Products for a total purchase price of $8,835,206, consisting of $5,700,000 in cash and a promissory note in the amount of $3,135,206 bearing interest at 8% per annum and payable over 24 months. ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 29, 2001, AS COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2000. Sales were $8,411,000 for the quarter ended June 29, 2001, representing an increase of $1,217,000 or 17% over the quarter ended June 30, 2000. U.S. sales achieved a record level for any one quarter at $6,432,000, increasing $1,753,000 or 37% compared to the same period in 2000. This was the result of Encore's efforts over the past six months to strengthen and build the U.S. sales force. On the other hand, sales outside the U.S. declined $536,000 or 21%, offsetting some of the increase in U.S. sales. The decline in sales outside the U.S. can be primarily attributed to Encore's previously announced strategy to focus sales efforts in the U.S. which is a more profitable geographic area and to the absence of any major stocking orders in the second quarter of 2001. Gross margin increased by $694,000 from the second quarter of 2000. However, gross margin as a percent of sales declined from 66% during the second quarter of 2000 to 65% during the second quarter of 2001 primarily due to increases in production variances. Research and development expenses decreased $47,000 or 10% from the second quarter of 2000 due primarily to the approval of products in late 2000 and early 2001, such as the Keystone(TM) Modular Hip System and the Metal/Metal Acetabular Hip System, that were in clinical studies in 2000. Notwithstanding this decrease in expenditures, there are several new products in the development process. In addition, clinical studies are continuing on a mobile bearing knee product and a ceramic femoral knee component. Selling, general, and administrative expenses increased $402,000 or 11% compared to the second quarter of 2000 due mainly to higher commissions and royalties as a result of increased sales. However, as a percent of sales, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to 49% for the quarter from 52% in the second quarter of 2000. An additional charge of $1,623,000 was taken in the second quarter of 2001 which related to specific one-time items that are not part of the normal selling, general and administrative, or research and development expenses. The most significant was a charge of $917,000 related to an exchange of certain outstanding options for stock. Approximately 1.9 million options were cancelled and approximately 600,000 shares were issued to the senior management of the Company. The cash impact of this transaction was only $354,000. Another component of this charge includes $535,000 in legal settlement charges. This was related to the settlement of the lawsuit brought by one of the Company's stockholders in an attempt to stop the issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock. Only $125,000 of this 7 expense was a cash expense. Finally, there was a $171,000 charge for compensation expense associated with a cashless exercise of options by a former employee. As a result of these other charges, an operating loss of $718,000 was incurred in the second quarter 2001 compared to operating income of $566,000 for the second quarter of 2000. Operating income before these non-recurring transactions was $905,000, an increase of 60% over the same period in 2000. Without these non-recurring charges, operating income increased to 10.7% of sales during the second quarter of 2001, compared to 7.9% for the second quarter of 2000. Interest expense decreased $24,000 for the three months ended June 29, 2001, to $301,000 as compared to $325,000 during the same period in the prior year. Overall, net loss for the quarter ended June 29, 2001 was $607,000 as compared to net income of $217,000 during the second quarter of 2000. However, if you removed the effect of the other charges discussed above, the Company's results for the second quarter of 2000 would show a net income of $432,000. This is a 99% increase over the same period in 2000. In connection with the issuance of Series A Preferred Stock in June 2001, because the stock is immediately convertible into common stock of Encore at the holder's option at a conversion price of $1.02 per share, which was below the per share closing price of our common stock on the date of the issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock, Encore recorded a charge to net income available to common stockholders of $3,706,000 representing the fair value of the beneficial conversion feature of the Series A Preferred Stock. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 29, 2001, AS COMPARED TO THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2000. Sales increased 9% over the first six months of 2000 to $17,130,000 from $15,695,000. U.S. sales were $12,656,000, increasing $2,879,000 or 29% compared to the same period in 2000. This was the result of efforts to strengthen and build the U.S. sales force. Sales outside the U.S. declined $1,444,000 or 24% offsetting some of the increase in the U.S. The decline can be attributed to previously announced strategies to focus sales efforts in the U.S. Gross margin increased by $676,000 from the same six months of 2000. However, gross margin as a percent of sales declined from 65.6% in 2000 to 64.0% during 2001 primarily due to increases in production variances. Research and development expenses decreased by $108,000 or 11.7% from the first six months of 2000 due primarily to the approval of products in late 2000 and early 2001, such as the Keystone(TM) Modular Hip System and the Metal/Metal Acetabular Hip System, that were in clinical studies in 2000. Clinical studies are continuing on a mobile bearing knee product and a ceramic femoral knee component. Selling, general, and administrative expenses increased $718,000 or 9% compared to the same period in 2000 due to increased commissions, royalties and doubtful account reserves as a result of increased sales and relocation expenses. However, as a percent of sales, selling, general and administrative expenses remained at 50% of sales. An additional charge of $1,623,000 was taken in the second quarter of 2001 which related to specific one-time items that are not part of the normal selling, general and administrative, or research and development expenses. The most significant was a charge of $917,000 related to an exchange of certain outstanding options for stock. Approximately 1.9 million options were cancelled and approximately 600,000 shares were issued to the senior management of the Company. The cash impact of this transaction was only $354,000. Another component of this charge includes $535,000 in legal settlement charges. This was related to the settlement of the lawsuit brought by one of the Company's stockholders in an attempt to stop the issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock. Only $125,000 of this expense was a cash expense. Finally, there was a $171,000 charge for compensation expense associated with a cashless exercise of options by a former employee. As a result of these charges, an operating loss of $75,000 was incurred for the first six months of 2001, as compared to operating income of $1,482,000 in 2000 as the increase in sales was offset by the additional spending discussed above. Operating income before the additional charge was $1,548,000, a 4% increase over the same period in 2000. 8 Interest expense increased $50,000 for the six months of 2001 to $663,000 as compared to the same period in the prior year. Overall, net loss for the six months ended June 29, 2001 was $379,000 as compared to net income of $674,000 for the same six months in 2000. Removing the effect of the other charges discussed above results in net income of $660,000. In connection with the issuance of Series A Preferred Stock in June 2001, because the stock is immediately convertible into common stock of Encore at the holder's option at a conversion price of $1.02 per share, which was below the per share closing price of our common stock on the date of the issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock, Encore recorded a charge to net income available to common stockholders of $3,706,000 representing the fair value of the beneficial conversion feature of the Series A Preferred Stock. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Since inception, the Company has financed its operations through the sale of equity securities, borrowings and cash flow from operations. The Company has available to it a $12.5 million revolving credit facility (the "Credit Facility"). This facility will decrease during the year on a quarterly basis to $10.5 million. In addition, it has a number of financial covenants that must be met on a quarterly basis. As of June 29, 2001, the Company had drawn approximately $11 million. As of June 29, 2001, the Company was in compliance with all of the financial covenants. While the Company's current forecast shows that the Company will be able to meet the financial covenants during 2001 and will be able to keep the need for outstanding debt under the maximum ceilings for amounts outstanding, there is no assurance that the forecasts will prove accurate or that the bank's requirements will be able to be met. In addition, there is no assurance that another credit facility will be available as a replacement to the current facility, which is scheduled to mature in October of 2002. There exists the possibility that the Company will need to obtain additional equity financing, although there is no assurance as to the amount, availability or cost of such financing. During the second quarter ended June 29, 2001, operating activities provided cash and cash equivalents of $3 million primarily due to a decrease in inventory, an increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and net income adjusted for depreciation and amortization. This compares favorably to the second quarter ended June 30, 2001 when operating activities used cash and cash equivalents of $1.1 million. During June 2001, the Company raised $12.9 million, net of issuance costs of $643,000, in connection with the sale of Series A Preferred Stock. The purpose of raising this money is to fund the acquisitions that the Company has previously announced that it is pursuing. The first of these acquisitions was completed on July 2, 2001, with the purchase of the orthopedic soft goods, patient safety devices and pressure care product lines from Kimberly-Clark Corporation. The Company's continued growth has resulted in an increase in its capital requirements. This growth is primarily funded by the Credit Facility and cash generated from operations to meet its working capital needs. As of June 29, 2001, the Company had net working capital of approximately $34 million, an increase from the $21 million net working capital at December 31, 2000. 9 FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS The foregoing Management's Discussion and Analysis contains various "forward looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 which represent Encore's expectations or beliefs concerning future events, including, but not limited to, statements regarding growth in sales of Encore's products, profit margins and the sufficiency of Encore's cash flow for its future liquidity and capital resource needs. These forward looking statements are further qualified by important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward looking statements. These factors include, without limitation, the effect of competitive pricing, Encore's dependence on the ability of its third-party manufacturers to produce components on a basis which is cost-effective to Encore, market acceptance of Encore's products, the ability to attract and retain competent employees, technological obsolescence of one or more products, changes in product strategies, the availability to locate acceptable acquisition candidates and then finance and integrate those acquisitions, and effects of government regulation. Results actually achieved may differ materially from expected results included in these statements as a result of these or other factors. PART II. OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS On May 1, 2001, one of the Company's stockholders, Medica Holding AG ("Medica") filed a complaint in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, against the Company, its directors, and the principal investors in the Series A Preferred Stock, seeking to enjoin the consummation of the sale of the Series A Preferred Stock alleging, among other things, (a) that the individual defendants breached their fiduciary duties by failing to consider alternative transactions or proposals for obtaining capital for the Company and by not seeking the advice of a financial advisor before entering in the Series A Stock Purchase Agreement, and (b) that the principal investors aided and abetted the individual defendants in the breach of their fiduciary duties. The lawsuit was settled prior to the June 12, 2001 Annual Meeting. The terms of the settlement required that (a) the Company agree to pay court-ordered attorneys fees to the plaintiff in connection with the requirement that the original proxy be amended to provide supplemental disclosures, and (b) that the principal investors in the Series A Preferred Stock purchase the shares of common stock in the Company that Medica owned. ITEM 2. CHANGES IN SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS On June 12, 2001, the stockholders of the Company approved the issuance of 132,353 shares of Series A Preferred Stock at $102.00 per share for an aggregate purchase price of $13.5 million. The shares were issued on June 12, 2001. The purchase price was payable in cash. There was no underwriter involved with the issuance. The parties who purchased the Series A Preferred Stock were primarily comprised of partnerships controlled by Galen Partners and by Ivy Orthopedics Partners LLC. A complete list of the purchasers can be found in the Proxy dated May 4, 2001 that was distributed to all stockholders of the Company. The 132,353 shares of Series A Preferred Stock are immediately convertible into 13,253,300 shares of the Company's common stock. The sale of these securities was exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933 pursuant to Regulation D. ITEM 4.
