ALACHUA, Fla. (July 24, 2014) – RTI Surgical Inc. (RTI) (Nasdaq: RTIX), a global surgical implant company, reported operating results for the second quarter of 2014 as follows:

Quarterly Highlights:

  • Achieved revenues of $66 million, exceeding revenue guidance of $62 to $63 million.
  • Achieved revenues of $21.3 million in the spine business, a 12 percent sequential increase over the previous quarter.
  • Achieved revenues of $8.9 million in the orthofixation business, an 18 percent sequential increase over the previous quarter.
  • Achieved revenues of $7 million in the international business, an 18 percent sequential increase over the previous quarter.
  • Launched the Streamline OCT System – designed to promote fusion of the occipto-cervico-thoracic spine – for the spine business.
  • Announced first implantation of strips configuration of map3 Cellular Allogeneic Bone Graft.

Worldwide revenues were $66 million for the second quarter of 2014 compared to revenues of $42.3 million for the second quarter of 2013.  Domestic revenues were $59 million for the second quarter of 2014 compared to revenues of $37.4 million for the second quarter of 2013. International revenues were $7 million for the second quarter of 2014 compared to revenues of $4.9 million for the second quarter of 2013. On a constant currency basis, international revenues for the second quarter of 2014 increased 37 percent compared to the second quarter of 2013. Worldwide revenues for the second quarter of 2014 include $23.5 million from the Pioneer acquisition completed July 2013.  If Pioneer revenues had been included for the second quarter for both 2013 and 2014, worldwide revenues would have increased by 6 percent.

“We are extremely pleased with our results from the second quarter. Revenues exceeded our expectations and signify, in our opinion, that our business has not only stabilized but has momentum moving into the second half of the year,” said Brian K. Hutchison, president and chief executive officer. “We made progress in meeting the goals we shared in our first quarter earnings press release – recovery and growth in our sports and spine businesses, traction in surgical specialties and expanded distribution of map3 cellular allogeneic bone graft.”

For the second quarter of 2014, the company reported a net income applicable to common shares of $1.6 million and net income per fully diluted common share of $0.03, based on 57.1 million fully diluted shares outstanding, compared to net loss applicable to common shares of $3 million and net loss per fully diluted common share of $0.05 for the second quarter of 2013, based on 56.3 million fully diluted shares outstanding.

Fiscal 2014 and Third Quarter Outlook

Based on results from the first half of the year, the company is raising full year revenue guidance for 2014. The company now expects full year revenues for 2014 to be between $258 million and $261 million, as compared to prior guidance of between $248 million and $253 million. On a non-GAAP basis, excluding a first quarter inventory purchase price accounting adjustment, the company expects full year net income per fully diluted common share (“Adjusted Non-GAAP Guidance Net Income Per Common Share – Diluted”) to be in the range of $0.09 to $0.11 based on 57 million fully diluted common shares outstanding, as compared to prior guidance of $0.07 to $0.09.

For the third quarter of 2014, the company expects revenues to be between $64 million and $65 million and net income per fully diluted common share to be approximately $0.02, based on 57.2 million fully diluted shares outstanding.

“The third quarter has traditionally been impacted by seasonality trends in surgeries,” Hutchison said, “however, based on our results from the first half, I am optimistic that we can capitalize on our momentum and meet our growth goals for the year.”

Third quarter net income per fully diluted common share is expected to be $0.02, based on 57.2 million fully diluted shares outstanding.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement RTI Surgical’s 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 (loss) applicable to common shares and non-GAAP net income (loss) per fully diluted share.  These non-GAAP financial measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative for, generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.  Reconciliations of each of these non-GAAP financial measures to the corresponding GAAP measures are included in the reconciliation above.

The following is an explanation of the adjustment that management excluded as part of the non-GAAP measure for the fiscal 2014 and third quarter outlook as well as the reasons for excluding the individual item:

2014 Inventory purchase price adjustment – This adjustment represents the purchase price effects of the remaining acquired Pioneer inventory that was sold during the first quarter of 2014 and which has been included in costs of processing and distribution.  Management removes the amount of these nonrecurring costs from our operating results to assist in assessing our operating performance in the current quarter and to supplement a comparison to our past operating performance.

Material Limitations Associated with the Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Non-GAAP net income (loss) applicable to common shares and non-GAAP net income (loss) per fully diluted share should not be considered in isolation, or as a replacement for GAAP measures.

Usefulness of Non-GAAP Financial Measures to Investors
The Company believes that presenting non-GAAP net income (loss) applicable to common shares and non-GAAP net income (loss) per fully diluted share in addition to the related GAAP measures provides investors greater transparency to the information used by management in its financial decision-making which excludes the inventory purchase price adjustment, acquisition expenses and litigation settlement charges.  The Company further believes that providing this information better enables the Company’s investors to understand the Company’s overall core performance and to evaluate the methodology used by management to assess and measure such performance.
