Company Reaches Settlement Agreement in Metal-On-Metal Hip Litigation

AMSTERDAM, The Netherlands, Nov. 02, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Wright Medical Group N.V. (NASDAQ:WMGI) today reported financial results for its third quarter ended September 25, 2016 and provided updated 2016 guidance.  As a result of the previously announced sale of the large joints (hip/knee) business to Corin Orthopaedics Holdings Limited (Corin), this business which was previously reported as a separate reporting segment is now reported as discontinued operations.

As a result of the merger between Wright Medical Group, Inc. and Tornier N.V. on October 1, 2015, legacy Wright’s historical results of operations replaced legacy Tornier’s historical results of operations for all periods prior to the merger and the results of the two legacy businesses have been consolidated only from that date forward in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).  This release and Wright’s website at ir.wright.com contain certain unaudited non-GAAP combined pro forma financial results for Wright Medical Group N.V. which give effect to the merger as if it had occurred on the first day of fiscal 2015, as well as reconciliations to the most comparable GAAP measures.

Net sales from continuing operations totaled $157.3 million during the third quarter ended September 25, 2016.  Combined pro forma net sales from continuing operations totaled $144.8 million during the third quarter of 2015.  Global extremities and biologics net sales grew 96% as reported, and on a non-GAAP pro forma constant currency basis, grew 9%.  Gross margins from continuing operations were 70.7% during the quarter ended September 25, 2016 and were 78.2% on a non-GAAP adjusted basis.  Reconciliations of all historical non-GAAP financial measures used in this release to the most comparable GAAP measures can be found in the attached financial tables.

Robert Palmisano, president and chief executive officer, commented, “As anticipated, our third quarter results were impacted by revenue dis-synergies; however, the underlying drivers of growth in our business remain strong as we continued to see excellent growth from new products, in particular our SIMPLICITI and AEQUALIS ASCEND FLEX shoulder systems, our INFINITY total ankle replacement system and the ongoing commercial activities for AUGMENT Bone Graft and the SALVATION limb salvage system.  Global extremities and biologics pro forma constant currency net sales growth of 9%, adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations of $5.7 million and adjusted gross margins from continuing operations of 78.2% reflect the strength of our markets and our unique position in them.” 

Net loss from continuing operations for the third quarter of 2016 totaled $53 million, or $(0.51) per diluted share.

The company’s net loss from continuing operations for the third quarter of 2016 included the after-tax effects of $10.3 million of inventory step-up amortization, $6.5 million of transaction and transition costs, a gain of $3.2 million related to mark-to-market adjustments on derivatives, $10.5 million of non-cash interest expense related to its convertible notes, a $2.2 million unrealized loss related to mark-to-market adjustments on contingent value rights (CVRs) issued in connection with the BioMimetic acquisition, and $1.6 million of non-cash inventory provisions associated with a product rationalization initiative.

The company's third quarter 2016 non-GAAP net loss from continuing operations, as adjusted for the above items, was $27 million.  The company's third quarter 2016 non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations, as defined in the non-GAAP to GAAP reconciliation provided later in this release, was $5.7 million. The attached financial tables include reconciliations of all historical non-GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP measures.

Cash and cash equivalents totaled $314.3 million as of the end of the third quarter of 2016.

Company Reaches Settlement Agreement in Metal-On-Metal Hip Litigation and Enters into Settlement Agreement with Three of its Insurance Carriers

In a separate press release issued today, the company announced that it had reached a Master Settlement Agreement (MSA) in its metal-on-metal hip litigation and entered into a Settlement Agreement with three of its insurance carriers (Three Settling Insurers).  Under the terms of the MSA, the parties agreed to settle 1,292 specifically identified CONSERVE, DYNASTY or LINEAGE revision claims which meet the eligibility requirements of the MSA and are either pending in the multi-district litigation (MDL) and the consolidated proceeding pending in state court in California (JCCP), or are subject to tolling agreements approved in the MDL or JCCP, for a total settlement amount of $240 million, of which approximately $180 million will be funded from cash on hand and $60 million will be funded from insurance recoveries.  For additional information, please refer to Wright’s separate press release issued today and the disclosures in its third quarter 2016 quarterly report on Form 10-Q when filed.

Palmisano commented, “We are very pleased to have reached this settlement agreement, in particular the population of claims that the settlement covers as well as the required 95% opt-in rate for those claims.  With this clarity, we will continue to focus on accelerating growth opportunities in the extremities and biologics markets.  This settlement addresses approximately 85% of the known U.S. revision claims that do not have potential statute of limitations issues and removes a great deal of the uncertainty that has been associated with this litigation.”

Palmisano concluded, “One year post the close of the merger of Wright and Tornier, we are a stronger and more focused business.  With the closing of the sale of our large joints business, we are now completely focused on the extremities and biologics markets.  We have completed the integration of our sales forces globally with less revenue dis-synergies this year than we originally anticipated.  We are ahead of schedule on our integration activities and associated benefits.  We have improved our balance sheet and reached a Settlement Agreement for our metal-on-metal hip litigation.  Also, the guidance we are providing today is for sales and adjusted EBITDA well ahead of the expectations we provided at the beginning of the year.  While I am very pleased with what we have accomplished in our first year as a combined company, we are nowhere close to meeting our full potential, and we continue to have great opportunities for improvement.  I believe we are positioned well for future success and achieving our key financial goals of mid-teens constant currency net sales growth, gross margins in the high 70% range and non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA margins of approximately 20% three to four years post the close of the merger.”  

Outlook

The company is maintaining the existing midpoint of its net sales from continuing operations for full-year 2016 guidance but narrowing the range to approximately $677 million to $683 million from its previously provided guidance range of $675 million to $685.  The company previously stated it expected dis-synergies to be less than the original guidance of $25 million to $30 million for full-year 2016 and today is formally updating its expectation for dis-synergies to be approximately $15 million for full-year 2016, which is consistent with the assumptions the company used to update its second quarter of 2016 guidance. 

The company is also increasing its full-year 2016 non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations, as described in the non-GAAP reconciliation provided later in this release, to be in the range of $43 million to $48 million from its previous range of $40 million to $45 million.  This guidance assumes cost synergies of approximately $25 million for full-year 2016.

The company anticipates non-GAAP adjusted earnings per share from continuing operations, including share-based compensation, as described in the non-GAAP to GAAP reconciliation provided later in this release, for full-year 2016 of $(0.52) to $(0.47) per diluted share.   

The company estimates approximately 103.0 million diluted weighted-average ordinary shares outstanding for fiscal year 2016.

The company's non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations target is measured by adding back to net loss from continuing operations charges for interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization expenses, non-cash share-based compensation expense and non-operating income and expense. Additionally, the company’s adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations target excludes possible future acquisitions; other material future business developments; due diligence, transaction and transition costs associated with acquisitions and divestitures; amortization of inventory step-up; and charges associated with product rationalization initiatives.  Further, this adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations target excludes any expenses, earnings or losses related to the divested large joints business, legacy Wright’s divested OrthoRecon business and legacy Tornier’s divested ankle replacement and silastic toe products.

The company’s non-GAAP adjusted earnings per share from continuing operations target is measured by adding back to net loss from continuing operations charges for non-cash amortization expenses, net of taxes. Note that as a result of the company’s relatively low effective tax rate due to the valuation allowance impacting a substantial portion of the company’s income/loss, the company is currently estimating the tax effect on amortization expense at 0%. Additionally, this adjusted earnings per share from continuing operations target excludes possible future acquisitions; other material future business developments; non-cash interest expense associated with the 2017, 2020 and 2021 convertible notes; due diligence, transaction and transition costs associated with acquisitions and divestitures; amortization of inventory step-up; charges associated with product rationalization initiatives; mark-to-market adjustments to CVRs; non-cash mark-to-market derivative adjustments; and non-cash write-offs of unamortized debt discount and deferred financing charges associated with the partial settlement of the 2017 convertible notes and 2020 convertible notes. Further, this adjusted earnings per share from continuing operations target excludes any expenses, earnings or losses related to the large joints business.

All of the historical non-GAAP financial measures used in this release are reconciled to the most directly comparable GAAP measures. With respect to the company’s 2016 financial guidance regarding non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations and non-GAAP adjusted earnings per share from continuing operations, however, the company cannot provide a quantitative reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP measures without unreasonable effort due to its inability to make accurate projections and estimates related to certain information needed to calculate some of the adjustments as described above. The anticipated differences between these non-GAAP financial measures and the most directly comparable GAAP measure are described above qualitatively.

The company's anticipated ranges for net sales from continuing operations, non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations, and non-GAAP adjusted earnings per share from continuing operations are forward-looking statements, as are any other statements that anticipate or aspire to future events or performance.  They are subject to various risks and uncertainties that could cause the company's actual results to differ materially from the anticipated targets.  The anticipated targets are not predictions of the company's actual performance.  See the cautionary information about forward-looking statements in the “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” section of this release.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures  

To supplement the company’s consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, the company uses certain non-GAAP financial measures in this release. Reconciliations of the historical non-GAAP financial measures used in this release to the most comparable GAAP measures for the respective periods can be found in tables later in this release. Wright’s non-GAAP financial measures include combined pro forma net sales; combined pro forma net sales, excluding the impact of foreign currency; net income, as adjusted; EBITDA, as adjusted; gross margin, as adjusted; earnings, as adjusted; and earnings, as adjusted, per diluted share, in each case, from continuing operations. The company's management believes that the presentation of these measures provides useful information to investors.  These measures may assist investors in evaluating the company's operations, period over period. While pro forma data gives effect to the merger with Tornier as if it had occurred on the first day of fiscal 2015 and enhances comparability of financial information between periods, pro forma data is not indicative of the results that actually would have been obtained if the merger had occurred as of the beginning of 2015. Wright’s non-GAAP financial measures exclude such items as non-cash interest expense related to the company's 2017 convertible notes, 2020 convertible notes and 2021 convertible notes, net gains and losses on mark-to-market adjustments on and settlements of derivative assets and liabilities, write-off of unamortized debt discount and deferred financing charges following the partial settlement of 2017 convertible notes and 2020 convertible notes, mark-to-market adjustments on CVRs, and transaction and transition costs, all of which may be highly variable, difficult to predict and of a size that could have substantial impact on the company's reported results of operations for a period.  It is for this reason that the company cannot provide without unreasonable effort a quantitative reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP measures for its 2016 financial guidance regarding non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations and non-GAAP adjusted earnings per share from continuing operations. Management uses the non-GAAP measures in this release internally for evaluation of the performance of the business, including the allocation of resources and the evaluation of results relative to employee performance compensation targets.  Investors should consider non-GAAP financial measures only as a supplement to, not as a substitute for or as superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.
