Orthofix Medical Inc. (NASDAQ:OFIX) today reported its financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2022. Net sales were $118.1 million, earnings per share (“EPS”) was $0.12, and adjusted EPS was $0.08.

“We're pleased with our execution in the second quarter, which was led by double digit growth in our global orthopedic business as well as early commercial traction of new spine products. In addition, we made significant progress on our innovation initiatives, highlighted by the successful launches of the AccelStim^™ Bone Healing Therapy and Virtuos Lyograft, as well as our recent partnerships with LimaCorporate and CGBio,” said Orthofix President and Chief Executive Officer Jon Serbousek. “We had solid operational execution, despite the challenges that macro headwinds continue to present, including continued hospital staffing shortages, complex spine procedure softness, and patients deferring care due to economic pressures. In addition, currency fluctuations during the quarter dampened reported revenue results.”

Continued Serbousek, “We remain incredibly bullish on the long-term opportunity here at Orthofix. While the macro environment is causing near-term volatility, we are fully committed to driving accelerated topline growth in the high single digits and continuing to execute towards increasing profitability. With the strength of our balance sheet as well as organic and inorganic investments made throughout the organization, we will work to continue to drive growth over the near term from key new product launches and channel expansion.”

CGBio Exclusive Recombinant Bone Growth Protein Partnership

On August 2, 2022, we announced our new long-term strategic license and distribution agreement with CGBio, a developer of innovative, synthetic bone grafts currently approved and commercially available in South Korea, Southeast Asia, Mexico, and India. The agreement grants us the exclusive right to conduct pre-clinical and clinical studies, commercialize, promote, market, and sell the Novosis (rhBMP-2) recombinant bone growth protein in the U.S. and Canada. Novosis is a novel composite bone graft material that is flowable and provides moldable handling characteristics that are unique compared to what is currently on the market in the U.S. and Canada and represents the next evolution of bone growth factor technology.

Business Outlook

As of the date hereof, the Company expects the following net sales results for the year ended December 31, 2022. These expectations are based on the current foreign currency exchange rates and do not include any additional exchange rate changes that may occur this year.

The Company is not able to provide expectations of operating income or GAAP EPS, the closest comparable U.S. GAAP measures to Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS, respectively (each of which are non-GAAP measures), on a forward-looking basis because the Company is unable to predict without unreasonable efforts the ultimate outcome of matters (including legal proceedings, acquisition-related expenses, accounting fair value adjustments, and other such items) that will determine the quantitative amount of the items excluded from the applicable non-GAAP measure, which items are further described in the reconciliation tables and related descriptions below. These items are uncertain, depend on various factors, and could be material to the Company’s results computed in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The following tables present reconciliations of operating income (loss), net income (loss), EPS, and net cash from operating activities, in each case calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), to, as applicable, non-GAAP financial measures, referred to as "EBITDA," "Adjusted EBITDA," "Adjusted net income (loss)," "Adjusted EPS," and "Free cash flow" that exclude items specified in the tables. The GAAP measures shown in the tables below represent the most comparable GAAP measure to the applicable non-GAAP measure(s) shown in the table. A more detailed explanation of the items excluded from these non-GAAP financial measures, as well as why management believes the non-GAAP financial measures are useful to them, is included following the reconciliations. The non-GAAP adjusted results shown below and within this press release, which exclude the items specified in the reconciliation tables below, should not be construed as a substitute for, or a better indicator of, the Company’s performance than the Company’s GAAP results.

Constant Currency

Constant currency is a non-GAAP measure, which we calculate 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 we calculate by adding interest income (expense), net; income tax expense (benefit); 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 (Loss) and Adjusted EPS

These non-GAAP financial measures provide management with additional insight to its results of operations and reflect the exclusion of the following items:

• Share-based compensation expense – costs related to our share-based compensation plans, which include stock options, restricted stock, performance-based or market-based restricted stock, and our stock purchase plan; see the share-based compensation footnote in our Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2022 for an allocation of these costs by consolidated statement of operations line item; note that certain share-based compensation costs are instead included within medical device regulation for 2021 and 2022
• Foreign exchange impact – gains and losses related to foreign currency transactions, which are recorded as other income (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
• 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) recognized costs related to acquired in-process research and development assets, which were expensed immediately
• Amortization of acquired intangibles – amortization of intangible assets acquired in business combinations or asset acquisitions, including items such as developed technologies, customer relationships, trade names, manufacturing agreements, and other intangible assets, which are recorded in cost of sales or operating expenses
• Loss on investment securities – net gains or losses recognized (realized or unrealized) within other income (expense), net relating to certain of our investments
• Legal judgments/settlements – adverse or favorable legal judgments or negotiated legal settlements, which are recorded as general and administrative expenses
• Succession and transition charges – costs related to the transition of certain named executive officers and certain targeted restructuring costs, including any cessation and onboarding amounts, accelerated share-based compensation expense, consulting services, and other related expenses, which are primarily recorded as general and administrative expenses
• Medical device regulation – incremental costs incurred (i) to establish initial compliance with the regulations set forth by the European Union Medical Device Regulation (“MDR”) and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration related to our currently-approved medical devices, which are recorded primarily as research and development expenses, and (ii) related to rationalization of certain product lines that we do not expect to continue to market subsequent to the effective date of these regulations, which are recorded primarily as costs of sales
• Business interruption – COVID-19 – gains and losses related to the realized effects the COVID-19 pandemic has had on our business operations, which consist primarily of (i) certain legislative relief received as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, (ii) costs associated with the redesign of certain products in response to supply chain disruption, and (iii) incremental costs incurred to enhance the safety and sanitation of our facilities
• Long-term income tax rate adjustment – reflects management’s expectation of a long-term normalized effective tax rate of 27% for 2021 and 28% for the fiscal year 2022 results and outlook, which is based on current tax law and current expected adjusted 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 and Adjusted EPS

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 operations, including capital expenditures. Management uses free cash flow to measure 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, analyze the underlying trends in our business, assess performance relative to competitors, and establish operational goals and forecasts that are used in allocating resources. Management uses these non-GAAP measures as the basis for evaluating 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 financial 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 share-based 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 management with the ability to further understand our performance based on a defined set of criteria. Management believes that the non-GAAP measures reflect the underlying operating results of our businesses and provide an important measure of our overall performance. We provide detailed reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures above and encourage investors to review these reconciliations.

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 our historical operating results and internally evaluate the effectiveness of our operating strategies. We believe that 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.
