RTI Surgical® Announces 2016 Third Quarter Results

October 25, 2016

ALACHUA, Fla.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–RTI Surgical Inc. (RTI) (Nasdaq: RTIX), a global surgical implant company, reported operating results for the third quarter of 2016 as follows:

Quarterly Summary:

  • Achieved worldwide revenues of $66.5 million, comparable to third quarter of 2015.
  • Achieved worldwide direct revenues of $38.1 million, a 14 percent increase over the third quarter of 2015.
  • Achieved global commercial and other revenues of $28.5 million, a 14 percent decrease compared to the third quarter of 2015.
  • Expanded nanOss® Bioactive bone void filler into Australia and Europe with regulatory clearance from the Australian Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) for nanOss Bioactive bone void filler and CE Mark from BSI for nanOss Bioactive Loaded bone void filler and nanOss Bioactive 3D bone void filler in Europe.
  • Continued comprehensive strategic review of RTI’s business lines and operations and continued to pursue search for a new chief executive officer to succeed Brian K. Hutchison who announced his intent to retire on August 15, 2016.

Worldwide revenues were $66.5 million for the third quarter of 2016, which were comparable to revenues for the third quarter of 2015. Domestic revenues were $61 million for the third quarter of 2016, which were also comparable to revenues for the third quarter of 2015. International revenues were $5.6 million for the third quarter of 2016, a slight increase compared to revenues of $5.5 million for the third quarter of 2015. On a constant currency basis, international revenues for the third quarter of 2016 increased 2 percent compared to the third quarter of 2015. Direct revenues of $38.1 million increased 14 percent for the third quarter of 2016 compared to $33.2 million for the third quarter of 2015. Commercial and other revenues of $28.5 million decreased 14 percent for the third quarter of 2016 compared to $33.3 million for the third quarter of 2015.

“Our direct business continued to show strong performance in the third quarter, highlighted by our U.S. spine, cardiothoracic and surgical specialties businesses,” said Brian K. Hutchison, president and chief executive officer. “Our direct spine business has become one of the fastest-growing spine companies in the market according to published data, with growth driven by both hardware and biologics. Despite the strong performance in our domestic direct business, our commercial business continues to perform below expectations.”

For the third quarter of 2016, the company reported net loss applicable to common shares of $4.5 million and net loss per fully diluted common share of $0.08, based on 58.4 million fully diluted shares outstanding, compared to net income applicable to common shares of $2.7 million and net income per fully diluted common share of $0.05 for the third quarter of 2015, based on 58.9 million fully diluted shares outstanding. On an adjusted basis, excluding pre-tax other charges of $5.1 million, as detailed in the reconciliation provided later in this release, and a foreign net operating loss valuation reserve of $1.2 million, adjusted net income applicable to common shares was $0.0 million and adjusted net income per fully diluted common share was $0.00, based on 58.4 million fully diluted shares outstanding.

Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (adjusted EBITDA), as detailed in the reconciliation provided later in this release, was $8.1 million for the third quarter of 2016 (12 percent of third quarter 2016 revenues) compared to $10.7 million for the third quarter of 2015 (16 percent of third quarter 2015 revenues). The decline was principally a result of higher variable compensation and distributor commission expenses on direct revenue distributions and the development of our international direct sales network.

Fiscal 2016 Outlook

As previously announced, RTI continues to progress on its strategic business review and CEO search. RTI’s board of directors and management remain focused on achieving sustainable top- and bottom-line growth and identifying opportunities that can generate the most value for RTI’s customers, employees and shareholders.

Based on the outlook for the remainder of the year, the company now expects that full year revenue for 2016 will range from $268 million to $270 million, as compared to prior guidance of $274 million to $280 million. The company expects full year direct revenue to grow in the range of 13 percent to 15 percent as compared to the previous range of 16 percent to 17 percent. The reduced outlook is primarily due to delays associated with transition of an international distributor. The company expects full year commercial and other revenue to decline in the range of 21 percent to 23 percent as compared to the previous range of 18 percent to 21 percent. The reduced outlook is primarily due to continued softness in commercial orders.

As a result of the lower revenue guidance, the other charges, and the foreign net operating loss valuation, the company now expects that full year net loss per fully diluted common share for 2016 will range from $0.11 to $0.13 based on 58.3 million fully diluted shares outstanding, as compared to prior guidance of net income per fully diluted common share of $0.03 to $0.06. Excluding the other charges and foreign operating loss valuation reserve, adjusted full year 2016 net income per fully diluted common share is expected to range from $0.01 to $0.03, based on 58.3 million fully diluted common shares outstanding as compared to prior guidance of adjusted full year 2016 net income per fully diluted common share of $0.09 to $0.12, based on 58.5 million fully diluted common shares outstanding.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements presented on a GAAP basis, the Company discloses certain non-GAAP financial measures that exclude certain amounts, including non-GAAP net income applicable to common shares, adjusted. The calculation of the tax effect on the adjustments between GAAP net (loss) income applicable to common shares and non-GAAP net income applicable to common shares is based upon our estimated annual GAAP tax rate, adjusted to account for items excluded from GAAP net (loss) income applicable to common shares in calculating non-GAAP net income applicable to common shares. A reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measure to the corresponding GAAP measure is included in the table above.

The following is an explanation of the adjustment that management excluded as part of adjusted measures for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2016 as well as the reason for excluding the individual items:

(1) Restructuring charges – This adjustment represents the closure of our French distribution and tissue procurement office. Management removes the amount of these expenses from our operating results to supplement a comparison to our past operating performance.

(2) Contested proxy expenses – This adjustment represent charges relating to contested proxy expenses. Management removes the amount of these expenses from our operating results to supplement a comparison to our past operating performance.

(3) Severance charges – This adjustment represents charges relating to the termination of former employees. Management removes the amount of these expenses from our operating results to supplement a comparison to our past operating performance.

(4) Strategic review costs – This adjustment represents charges relating to a comprehensive strategic review of the Company’s business lines and operations to leverage the Company’s expertise, technology and products and identify opportunities to increase stockholder value. Management removes the amount of these expenses from our operating results to supplement a comparison to our past operating performance.

(5) CEO Retirement and transition costs – This adjustment represents charges relating to the retirement of our Chief Executive Officer, Brian K. Hutchison, pursuant to the Executive Transition Agreement dated August 29, 2012. Management removes the amount of these expenses from our operating results to supplement a comparison to our past operating performance.

Material Limitations Associated with the Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation, or as a replacement for GAAP measures.

Usefulness of Non-GAAP Financial Measures to Investors

The Company utilizes certain financial measures that are not calculated based on GAAP. Certain of these financial measures are considered “non-GAAP” financial measures within the meaning of Item 10 of Regulation S-K promulgated by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The Company believes that non-GAAP financial measures reflect an additional way of viewing aspects of its operations that, when viewed with the GAAP results, provide a more complete understanding of the Company’s results of operations and the factors and trends affecting the Company’s business. These non-GAAP financial measures are also used by the Company’s management to evaluate financial results and to plan and forecast future periods. However, non-GAAP financial measures should be considered as a supplement to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, the corresponding measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures used by the Company may differ from the non-GAAP measures used by other companies, including the Company’s competitors.
