Orthofix International Reports First Quarter 2014 Results

LEWISVILLE, TX. – May 7, 2014 – Orthofix International N.V. (NASDAQ:OFIX) today reported results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2014. Net sales were $101.3 million for the first quarter of 2014, decreasing 2.0% from net sales of $103.4 million in the first quarter of 2013. Net margin, which the Company calculates as gross profit less sales and marketing expenses, increased 6.5% during the period to $34.8 million, or 34.4% of sales, over $32.7 million, or 31.6% of sales in the first quarter 2013.

President and Chief Executive Officer Brad Mason commented on the Company’s financial results, “The first quarter results were better than expected and give us further confidence that our initiatives to improve and grow our business are appropriate and effective. Additionally, during the quarter we announced a number of Board and executive leadership changes that bring added experience and talent to help us drive improved results.”

First Quarter 2014 Sales Results

BioStim

Net sales in the Company’s BioStim strategic business unit, or SBU, increased 0.5% to $38.4 million in the first quarter of 2014 compared to $38.2 million for the same period in the prior year, an increase of $0.2 million. The BioStim revenue was driven by a stable performance in Spine Stimulation and a lower, yet improving performance in Physio-Stim, as the Company continued to transition the Physio-Stim sales force.

Biologics

Net sales in the Company’s Biologics SBU decreased $0.4 million, or 2.7%, to $13.0 in the first quarter of 2014 compared to $13.4 million for the same period in the prior year. This was due to a decrease in the Company’s marketing service fee rate with the Musculoskeletal Transplant Foundation (“MTF”) to 65% from 70% on April 1, 2013, for Trinity Evolution and Trinity Elite sales. Assuming no marketing fee rate decrease, sales in Biologics grew 4.0% year-over-year in the first quarter.

Extremity Fixation

Net sales in the Company’s Extremity Fixation SBU increased $0.9 million, or 3.3%, to $27.1 million in the first quarter of 2014 compared to $26.2 million for the same period last year. The sales improvement was driven primarily due to increased sales in the U.K. and France, offset somewhat by lower performance in the U.S. and Brazil due to ongoing restructuring activities.

Spine Fixation

Net sales in the Company’s Spine Fixation SBU decreased $2.7 million, or 10.6%, to $22.8 million in the first quarter of 2014 compared to $25.5 million for the same period last year. This decrease was primarily due to lower international sales.

First Quarter 2014 Net Margin and Earnings Results

First quarter 2014 consolidated net margin increased 6.5% to $34.8 million over $32.7 million in the first quarter of the prior year. As a percentage of sales, net margin improved to 34.4% in the first quarter 2014 from 31.6% in the first quarter 2013. This increase was primarily driven by Spine Fixation and Extremity Fixation, which was offset by a decrease in BioStim net margin. Spine Fixation net margin benefitted from cost reductions and lower commissions due to a higher international sales mix, while BioStim net margin was negatively impacted primarily by an increase in commission expense.

First quarter 2014 net income (loss) from continuing operations was ($0.2)million, or ($0.01) per diluted share, compared to net income of $7.6 million, or $0.39 per diluted share for the same period last year. First quarter 2014 and 2013 net income also included the specified items detailed below. When excluding these items, adjusted net income from continuing operations for the first quarter 2014 was $5.2 million, or $0.29 per diluted share, compared to $7.2 million, or $0.37 per diluted share, in the first quarter 2013.

Non-GAAP Performance Measures

The tables in this press release present reconciliations of operating income, net income and net income per diluted share, operating income and net cash provided by operating activities calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) to non-GAAP performance measures, referred to as “adjusted operating income from continuing operations”, “adjusted net income from continuing operations and adjusted net income from continuing operations per diluted share”, that exclude the items specified in the tables. 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 above that are excluded from GAAP net sales and GAAP net income and net income per diluted share, as well as why management believes the non-GAAP measures are useful to them, is included in the Regulation G Supplemental Information below.

Reconciliations of Non-GAAP Performance Measures

Adjusted Operating Income From Continuing Operations Reconciling Items

• Costs related to accounting review and restatement - legal, accounting, and other professional costs related to the Company’s accounting review and restatement.

• Succession and restructuring charges - In 2013 these costs relate to the cessation of employment of certain of the Company’s officers.

Adjusted Net Income From Continuing Operations and Adjusted Net Income from Continuing Operations Per Diluted Share Reconciling Items

Note: The reconciling items were tax affected in the current period at the prevailing rate within the respective jurisdictions.

• Costs related to accounting review and restatement - legal, accounting, and other professional costs related to the Company’s accounting review and restatement.

• Succession and restructuring charges - In 2013 these costs relate to the cessation of employment of certain of the Company’s former executive officers.

• Foreign exchange loss (gain) - due to translation adjustments resulting from the weakening or strengthening of the U.S. Dollar against various foreign currencies. A number of Orthofix’s foreign subsidiaries have intercompany and third party trade accounts receivables and payables that are held in currencies, most notably the U.S. Dollar, other than their local currency, and movements in the relative values of those currencies result in foreign exchange gains and losses.

• Gain related to demutualization of a mutual insurance company - the Company received cash related to the demutualization of a mutual insurance company, in which the Company was an eligible member to share in such proceeds.

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. Management uses these non-GAAP measures as the basis for assessing the ability of the underlying operations to generate cash.

Orthofix International N.V. 3451 Plano Parkway Lewisville, TX 75056 USA Tel 214 937 2000 Orthofix.com

In addition, management uses these non-GAAP measures to further its understanding of the performance of the Company’s business units. The items excluded from Orthofix’s non-GAAP measures are also excluded from the profit or loss reported by the Company’s business units for the purpose of analyzing their performance.

Material Limitations Associated with the Use of Non-GAAP Measures

The non-GAAP measures used in this press 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.
