Item 2.02.

Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On May 6, 2019, Orthofix Medical Inc. (the “Company” or “Orthofix”) issued a press release announcing, among other things, its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2019.  A copy of the press release is furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1 and attached hereto.

The information furnished in this Item 2.02, including the exhibit furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1, will not be treated as “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section.  This information will not be deemed incorporated by reference into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or into another filing under the Exchange Act, unless that filing expressly refers to specific information in this Report.

The information disclosed under Item 7.01 hereof is also responsive to this Item 2.02 and is incorporated by reference into this Item 2.02.

Item 7.01

Regulation FD Disclosure.

The press release furnished as Exhibit 99.1 announced changes to the Company’s reportable business segments, effective March 31, 2019, to align with changes in how the Company manages its business, reviews operating performance and allocates resources.

As of the first quarter 2019, the Company began reporting results under two reportable segments: Global Spine and Global Extremities. Previously, operating results for the Global Spine reporting segment were reported as the Bone Growth Therapies, Spinal Implants, and Biologics segments. The Company began reporting its financial results under the new reportable segments with the filing of its Form 10-Q for the quarter ending March 31, 2019.

Two years of historical financial results for previously reported quarterly and annual periods for fiscal 2018 and 2017 have been recast reflecting the two new reportable segments and are provided in Exhibit 99.2.

 

Prior Reporting Segments

 

New Reporting Segments

Bone Growth Therapies

 

Global Spine

Spinal Implants

 

Global Extremities

Biologics

 

 

Orthofix Extremities

 

 

 

In addition to changing its reportable business segments, the Company changed its profitability measure for its reporting segments to earnings before interest income/expense, net; income tax expense; depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”), which is a non-GAAP measure.

EBITDA is a measure used by management and, therefore, provided to investors to provide comparability between periods of underlying operational results. EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for net income, operating income (loss), or revenue determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). The non-GAAP financial measure and reconciliation thereof to the most directly comparable measures prepared in accordance with GAAP are included in the recast of historical financial results for changes to reportable business segments furnished as Exhibit 99.2 hereto.

The press release furnished as Exhibit 99.1 also provides an update on the Company’s business outlook, that is intended to be within the safe harbor provided by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the “Act”) as comprising forward looking statements within the meaning of the Act.

The information furnished in this Item 7.01, including the exhibit furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1, will not be treated as “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Exchange Act, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section. This information will not be deemed incorporated by reference into any filing under the Securities Act, or into another filing under the Exchange Act, unless that filing expressly incorporates by reference this Item 7.01 of this report.

Company reiterates full year 2019 guidance

 

First U.S. patients implanted with the M6-C™ artificial cervical disc following FDA approval

 

Initiated limited launch of fiberFUSE™, a differentiated demineralized bone matrix

LEWISVILLE, Texas — May 6, 2019 — Orthofix Medical Inc. (NASDAQ:OFIX) today reported its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2019.  Net sales were $109.1 million, earnings per share (“EPS”) was $0.05 and adjusted EPS was $0.27.  

“For the first quarter, our top and bottom line results were slightly better than anticipated and we remain confident about our expected sales acceleration throughout the remainder of the year and into 2020, as we previously guided,” said Brad Mason, Orthofix President and Chief Executive Officer. “Regarding the M6-C artificial cervical disc, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approval of the M6-C disc was certainly the most important highlight of the first quarter for the company. We recently released the compelling results of the full two-year data from the M6-C IDE clinical study and announced the first commercial U.S. patient implants, which marks the beginning of a measured launch of the M6-C disc in the U.S., including the ramp-up of training and certification of surgeons. Encouragingly, we continue to receive a very high level of interest and enthusiasm from physicians and distributors alike.” Mason continued, “Lastly, in addition to our strong first quarter sales of our Biologics products, we initiated a limited market release of fiberFUSE DBM, a differentiated demineralized bone matrix with handling characteristics similar to our market-leading Trinity ELITE™ stem cell allograft.”

Constant Currency

Constant currency is a non-GAAP measure, which is calculated by using foreign currency rates from the comparable, prior-year period, to present net sales at comparable rates. Constant currency can be presented for numerous GAAP measures, but is most commonly used by management to analyze net sales without the impact of changes in foreign currency rates.

 

EBITDA

EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure, which is calculated by adding interest expense, net; income tax expense; and depreciation and amortization to net income. EBITDA provides management with additional insight to its results of operations. EBITDA is the primary metric used by our Chief Operating Decision Maker in managing our business.

 

Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS

These non-GAAP financial measures provide management with additional insight to its results of operations and are calculated using the following adjustments:

 

Share-based compensation – costs related to our share-based compensation plans, which include stock options, restricted stock awards, performance-based restricted stock awards, market-based restricted stock awards and our stock purchase plan; see the share-based compensation footnote in our Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2019 for a detail of these costs by consolidated statement of income line item; however, certain share-based compensation costs have been included within succession charges for 2019

 

Foreign exchange impact – gains and losses related to foreign currency transactions, which are recorded as other expense, net; guidance presented does not include the impact of any future foreign exchange fluctuations

 

Strategic investments – costs related to our strategic investments, such as due diligence and integration costs, which are primarily recorded as general and administrative expenses

 

Domestication to Delaware – costs associated with evaluation and completion of changing the Company’s jurisdiction of organization from Curaçao to the State of Delaware during 2018, which are recorded as general and administrative expenses

 

Acquisition-related fair value adjustments – comprised of i) gains and losses related to remeasurement of contingent consideration to fair value, which are recorded as operating expenses and ii) an adjustment made to inventory acquired to account for the reasonable profit allowance for the selling effort on finished goods inventory, which is recorded as cost of sales

 

Amortization of acquired intangibles – amortization of intangible assets acquired in business combinations or asset acquisitions, including items such as developed technologies, in process research and development, trade names, and other intangible assets, which are recorded as operating expenses

 

Interest and gain on investment securities – net gains recognized (realized or unrealized) within other expense, net or interest income recognized relating to our investments in eNeura Inc. and Bone Biologics, Inc.

 

Legal judgments/settlements – adverse or favorable legal judgments or negotiated legal settlements, including legal and other professional fees associated with the SEC Investigation, Securities Class Action Complaints and Brazil subsidiary compliance review, which are recorded as general and administrative expenses

 

Succession charges – costs related to the transition of the Company’s President and CEO, including any cessation and onboarding amounts, accelerated share-based compensation expense, consulting services and other related expenses

 

Long-term income tax rate adjustment – reflects management’s expectation of a long-term normalized effective tax rate of 35% for the first and second quarters of 2018, 29% for the third and fourth quarters of 2018, and 27% for our 2019 results and outlook, which is based on current tax law and current expected income; actual reported tax expense will ultimately be based on GAAP earnings and may differ from the expected long-term normalized effective tax rate due to a variety of factors, including the resolutions of issues arising from tax audits with various tax authorities, the ability to realize deferred tax assets, and the tax impact of certain reconciling items that are excluded in determining Adjusted Net Income

 

Free Cash Flow

Free cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure, which is calculated by subtracting capital expenditures from cash flow from operating activities. Free cash flow is an important indicator of how much cash is generated or used by our normal business

9


 

operations, including capital expenditures. Management uses free cash flow as a measure of progress on its capital efficiency and cash flow initiatives.

 

Usefulness and Limitations of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Management uses non-GAAP measures to evaluate performance period-over-period, to analyze the underlying trends in our business, to assess performance relative to 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. In addition, management uses these non-GAAP measures to further its understanding of the performance of our business units.

 

Material Limitations Associated with the Use of Non-GAAP Financial 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 financial measures. Some of the limitations associated with the use of these non-GAAP financial measures are that they exclude items that reflect an economic cost and can have a material effect on cash flows. Similarly, certain non-cash expenses, such as equity compensation, do not directly impact cash flows, but are part of total compensation costs accounted for under GAAP.

 

Compensation for Limitations Associated with Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We compensate for the limitations of our non-GAAP financial measures by relying upon GAAP results to gain a complete picture of our performance. The GAAP results provide the ability to understand our performance based on a defined set of criteria. The non-GAAP measures reflect the underlying operating results of our businesses, which we believe is an important measure of our overall performance. We provide a detailed reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to our most directly comparable GAAP measures, and encourage investors to review this reconciliation.

 

Usefulness of Non-GAAP Financial Measures to Investors

We believe that providing non-GAAP financial measures that exclude certain items provides investors with greater transparency to the information used by senior management in its financial and operational decision-making. 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 our business operations in order to facilitate comparisons to its historical operating results and internally evaluate the effectiveness of our operating strategies. Disclosure of these non-GAAP financial measures also facilitates comparisons of our underlying operating performance with other companies in the industry that also supplement their GAAP results with non-GAAP financial measures.

Orthofix Recast of Historical Financial Results for Changes to Reportable Business Segments

 

During the first quarter of 2019, the Company changed its reporting segments from four reporting segments: Bone Growth Therapies, Spinal Implants, Biologics, and Orthofix Extremities to two reporting segments: Global Spine and Global Extremities.  These two reporting segments represent the operating segments for which our Chief Executive Officer, who is also Chief Operating Decision Maker (the “CODM”), reviews financial information and makes resource allocation decisions among businesses. In addition, the Company changed the primary metric used by the CODM in managing the Company to EBITDA from non-GAAP net margin, an internal metric that the Company defined as gross profit less sales and marketing expense.  Accordingly, our reporting segment information has been recast based on our two new reporting segments:

Prior Year Reclassification

The Company reclassified less than $10 thousand of previously reported net income (loss) from discontinued operations during the first, second, and third quarters of 2018 to continuing operations within its Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018; therefore, amounts may differ from previously reported quarterly results for interim periods.

Non-GAAP Information

EBITDA

EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure, which is calculated by adding interest expense, net; income tax expense; and depreciation and amortization to net income. EBITDA provides management with additional insight to its results of operations. EBITDA is the primary metric used by our Chief Operating Decision Maker in managing our business.

 

Adjusted EBITDA

These non-GAAP financial measures provide management with additional insight to its results of operations and are calculated using the following adjustments:

 

Share-based compensation – costs related to our share-based compensation plans, which include stock options, restricted stock awards, performance-based restricted stock awards, market-based restricted stock awards and our stock purchase plan; see the share-based compensation footnote in our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for each quarter of 2018 and our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 for a detail of these costs by consolidated statement of income line item

 

Foreign exchange impact – gains and losses related to foreign currency transactions, which are recorded as other expense, net

 

Strategic investments – costs related to our strategic investments, such as due diligence and integration costs, which are primarily recorded as general and administrative expenses

 

Domestication to Delaware – costs associated with evaluation and completion of changing the Company’s jurisdiction of organization from Curaçao to the State of Delaware during 2018, which are recorded as general and administrative expenses

 

Acquisition-related fair value adjustments – comprised of i) gains and losses related to remeasurement of contingent consideration to fair value, which are recorded as operating expenses and ii) an adjustment made to inventory acquired to account for the reasonable profit allowance for the selling effort on finished goods inventory, which is recorded as cost of sales

 

Amortization of acquired intangibles – amortization of intangible assets acquired in business combinations or asset acquisitions, including items such as developed technologies, in process research and development, trade names, and other intangible assets, which are recorded as operating expenses

 

Interest and (gain) loss on investment securities – net gains and losses recognized (realized or unrealized) within other income (expense), net or interest income recognized relating to our investments in eNeura Inc. and Bone Biologics, Inc.

 

Legal judgments/settlements – adverse or favorable legal judgments or negotiated legal settlements, including legal and other professional fees associated with the SEC Investigation, Securities Class Action Complaints and Brazil subsidiary compliance review, which are recorded as general and administrative expenses

 

Restructuring – costs associated with the elimination of two reporting segment president positions in 2018, which are recorded as operating expenses

 

Long-term income tax rate adjustment – reflects management’s expectation of a long-term normalized effective tax rate of 35% for the first and second quarters of 2018 and 29% for the third and fourth quarters of 2018, which is based on current tax law and current expected income; actual reported tax expense will ultimately be based on GAAP earnings and may differ from the expected long-term normalized effective tax rate due to a variety of factors, including the resolutions of issues arising from tax audits with various tax authorities, the ability to realize deferred tax assets, and the tax impact of certain reconciling items that are excluded in determining Adjusted Net Income

 

 


Material Limitations Associated with the Use of Non-GAAP Financial 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 financial measures. Some of the limitations associated with the use of these non-GAAP financial measures are that they exclude items that reflect an economic cost and can have a material effect on cash flows. Similarly, certain non-cash expenses, such as equity compensation, do not directly impact cash flows, but are part of total compensation costs accounted for under GAAP.

 

Compensation for Limitations Associated with Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We compensate for the limitations of our non-GAAP financial measures by relying upon GAAP results to gain a complete picture of our performance. The GAAP results provide the ability to understand our performance based on a defined set of criteria. The non-GAAP measures reflect the underlying operating results of our businesses, which we believe is an important measure of our overall performance. We provide a detailed reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to our most directly comparable GAAP measures, and encourage investors to review this reconciliation.

 

Usefulness of Non-GAAP Financial Measures to Investors

We believe that providing non-GAAP financial measures that exclude certain items provides investors with greater transparency to the information used by senior management in its financial and operational decision-making. 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 our business operations in order to facilitate comparisons to its historical operating results and internally evaluate the effectiveness of our operating strategies. Disclosure of these non-GAAP financial measures also facilitates comparisons of our underlying operating performance with other companies in the industry that also supplement their GAAP results with non-GAAP financial measures.
