Company Increases 2018 Annual Guidance

AMSTERDAM, The Netherlands, Aug. 08, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Wright Medical Group N.V. (NASDAQ:WMGI) today reported financial results for its second quarter ended July 1, 2018 and increased its 2018 annual guidance.  Unless otherwise noted, all net sales growth rates in this release are stated on a constant currency basis.

Net sales totaled $205.4 million during the second quarter ended July 1, 2018, representing 14.3% as reported and 12.9% constant currency growth, an estimated 370 basis point improvement versus the first quarter of 2018.  Gross margins were 77.8% during the quarter ended July 1, 2018 and were 78.5% 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, “We produced outstanding results across the board in the second quarter, including 13% constant currency net sales growth, an estimated 370 basis point increase versus the first quarter of 2018, and we exited the quarter on a strong, positive trajectory, which we expect to continue throughout the remainder of 2018.  These results represent another strong performance in our U.S. upper extremities business, which grew 22% in the second quarter, driven by 24% growth in our U.S. shoulder business.  We anticipate that continued penetration of our SIMPLICITI shoulder system, our ongoing PERFORM Reversed launch and accelerating adoption of our BLUEPRINT enabling technology will continue to drive market-leading shoulder sales growth in 2018.” 

Palmisano further commented, “Our U.S. lower extremities growth rate accelerated to 9% in the second quarter, driven by approximately 15% growth in total ankle and improved growth in our core lower extremities business.  The lower extremities business returned to market rates of growth well ahead of schedule, driven primarily by increased contributions from our expanded sales organization.  We are on a good trajectory headed into the second half of the year when we expect the third quarter launch of our PROstep Minimally Invasive Surgery System to provide further momentum for this business.  We also received PMA approval for AUGMENT Injectable Bone Graft and initiated launch activities in the U.S.  We believe the superior handling characteristics and ease of use of AUGMENT Injectable, combined with the proven clinical benefits of AUGMENT, will accelerate the growth in our biologics business in the back half of this year.”

Net loss from continuing operations for the second quarter of 2018 totaled $90.6 million, or $(0.85) per diluted share.

The company’s net loss from continuing operations for the second quarter of 2018 included the after-tax impacts of a $39.9 million non-cash loss on extinguishment of debt to write-off unamortized debt discount and deferred financing fees associated with the partial settlement of its 2020 convertible notes, a loss of $32.9 million related to mark-to-market adjustments on derivatives, non-cash interest expense of $12.3 million related to its convertible notes, non-cash foreign currency translation charges of $1.9 million, and $1.3 million of transaction and transition costs associated with non-cash inventory provisions.  These charges were offset by an unrealized gain of $2.5 million related to mark-to-market adjustments on contingent value rights (CVRs) issued in connection with the BioMimetic acquisition and a $6.2 million U.S. tax benefit within continuing operations recorded as a result of the pre-tax gain recognized within discontinued operations due to the previously announced $30.75 million insurance settlement.

The company's second quarter 2018 non-GAAP net loss from continuing operations, as adjusted for the above items, was $9.6 million.  The company's second quarter 2018 non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations, as defined in the non-GAAP to GAAP reconciliation provided later in this release, was $25.6 million. The attached financial tables include reconciliations of all historical non-GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP measures.

Cash and cash equivalents totaled $313.2 million as of the end of the second quarter of 2018.   

Palmisano concluded, “Overall, second quarter net sales growth improved significantly, with Upper Extremities, Lower Extremities, Biologics and International all accelerating their constant currency growth rates.  Based on the strength of the underlying business and the approval of AUGMENT Injectable, we are increasing our guidance, which now calls for annual constant currency net sales growth of 10% to 12%, excluding the impact of the four fewer selling days in the fourth quarter of 2018.  I believe we are set up well for the remainder of 2018.  Our end markets remain healthy and fast growing, our gross margins are outstanding, and our new product pipeline is full of innovative and commercially impactful products and surgical solutions across all parts of our business.”

Outlook

As a result of the approval of AUGMENT Injectable and the performance of the business, the company is increasing its net sales guidance for full-year 2018 to approximately $808 million to $820 million from its previous guidance of approximately $800 million to $812 million.  This guidance range has approximately 0.5% cushion from foreign currency exchange rates as compared to current rates.  In addition, this range implies full-year 2018 constant currency net sales growth of 10% to 12%, excluding the estimated $9 million impact of the four fewer selling days in fourth quarter of 2018.
           
The company is raising its full-year 2018 non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations, as described in the non-GAAP reconciliation provided later in this release, to a range of $106 million to $113 million.

The company expects its 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 2018 to be a loss of $0.14 to $0.21 per diluted share.

The company estimates approximately 106.4 million diluted weighted average ordinary shares outstanding for fiscal year 2018.

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; and due diligence, transaction and transition costs associated with acquisitions and divestitures. 

The company’s non-GAAP adjusted earnings per share from continuing operations target is measured by adding back to net loss from continuing operations non-cash interest expense associated with the convertible notes; due diligence, transaction and transition costs associated with acquisitions and divestitures; mark-to-market adjustments to CVRs; non-cash mark-to-market derivative adjustments; non-cash gains and losses associated with foreign currency translation of balances denominated in foreign currencies; and 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%. Further, this non-GAAP adjusted earnings per share from continuing operations target excludes possible future acquisitions and other material future business developments.

All 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 2018 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, including the foreign currency fluctuations and market driven fair value adjustments to CVRs and derivatives. 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 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. Wright’s non-GAAP financial measures exclude such items as non-cash interest expense related to the company's convertible notes, non-cash loss on extinguishment of debt, transaction and transition costs, net gains and losses on mark-to-market adjustments on CVRs and derivative assets and liabilities, net non-cash gains and losses on foreign currency translation 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 2018 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.
