Tornier Reports Second Quarter 2015 Results


Upper Extremity Constant Currency Growth of 11.9% Led by the Aequalis Ascend™ Flex

AMSTERDAM, Netherlands, Aug. 5, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Tornier N.V. (NASDAQ:TRNX), a global medical device company focused on providing surgical solutions to orthopaedic extremity specialists, reported today its financial results for the second quarter ended June 28, 2015.

Revenue for the second quarter of 2015 was $83.2 million compared to second quarter 2014 revenue of $86.9 million, a decrease of 4.2% as reported and an increase of 4.0% in constant currency. Foreign currency exchange rates negatively impacted second quarter 2015 reported revenue by $7.1 million.

Second quarter 2015 revenue of Tornier's extremities product categories totaled $71.8 million compared to $71.9 million during the prior year period, a decrease of 0.2% as reported and an increase of 6.0% in constant currency.

Dave Mowry, President and Chief Executive Officer of Tornier, commented, "Our second quarter performance highlights the strong momentum in our upper extremities business, driven by our innovative product portfolio and clinically superior sales team. The Aequalis Ascend™ Flex shoulder system delivered another quarter of above-market growth and we made good progress in our commercial preparations for the recently FDA cleared Simpliciti™ shoulder system. This includes working with key opinion leaders and developing Centers of Excellence for Simpliciti, laying the foundation for the next leg of growth in our upper extremities business as we enter 2016."

Mr. Mowry continued, "As expected, our lower extremities business experienced distractions related to our pending merger with Wright Medical Group, Inc. However, we have been able to retain a high quality sales team and believe we have a very attractive combination of products and people to drive long-term growth for the future combined business. We are confident that the pending merger with Wright will leverage the strengths of both companies to create the premier high growth extremities and biologics company. Subject to FTC clearance, we expect the merger to close in the third quarter and are enthusiastic about the growth and profitability prospects for the combined organization."

The Company's second quarter 2015 adjusted EBITDA, as defined in the GAAP to non-GAAP reconciliation provided later in this release, was $8.3 million, or 9.9% of reported revenue, compared to $6.1 million, or 7.0% of revenue, in the same quarter of the prior year.

Second Quarter 2015 Revenue Highlights

Extremities

  • Revenue from the upper extremities joints and trauma category was $56.6 million, an increase of 11.9% in constant currency over the same quarter in 2014. Growth was led by the Aequalis Ascend family of shoulder joint replacement products, which continued to gain global surgeon acceptance. The consistent performance of our upper extremities joints and trauma category demonstrates the success of the Company's strategy to deliver superior products with a differentiated sales force.
      
  • Revenue from Tornier's lower extremities joints and trauma category in the second quarter of 2015 reached $12.0 million, a decrease of 13.8% in constant currency. As anticipated, distractions from the Company's pending merger with Wright have impacted results in all segments of the Company's lower extremities business.
      
  • Revenue from the sports medicine and biologics product category was $3.2 million in the second quarter of 2015, a decrease of 3.0% in constant currency over the same quarter in 2014, reflecting a decline in the Company's soft tissue anchor and biologics products.

Large Joints

Constant currency revenue from large joints and other products decreased 5.7% in the second quarter of 2015, reflecting anticipated deceleration in Europe and a challenging comparison to the prior year period, which benefitted from the launch of new minimally invasive hip instrumentation.

Geographic Revenue

On a geographic basis as compared to the second quarter of 2014, Tornier's international revenue decreased 12.9% as reported and increased 5.7% in constant currency, representing 39.8% of reported global revenue.  Revenue in the United States increased by 2.6% and represented 60.2% of reported global revenue.  

Fiscal Year 2015 Outlook

Due to the anticipated closing of the Wright merger, which is expected to take place in the third quarter, Tornier will no longer be providing financial guidance. Tornier expects that its upper extremities joints and trauma category will continue to make strong and consistent contributions to the anticipated combined business and that its lower extremities joints and trauma category will enhance the already robust Wright lower extremities business over the long term.

Tornier believes the non-GAAP financial measures presented above provide additional meaningful information for measuring Tornier's financial performance and are measures frequently used by Tornier's management, as well as securities analysts and investors. Tornier uses the non-GAAP financial measures as supplemental measures of its performance and believes such measures facilitate operating performance comparisons from period to period and company to company by factoring out potential differences caused by charges not related to Tornier's regular, ongoing business, including non-cash charges, certain large and unpredictable charges, acquisitions, dispositions, litigation settlements and tax positions. Tornier's management uses the non-GAAP financial measures to assess the performance of Tornier's core operations, analyze underlying trends in Tornier's businesses, establish operational goals and forecasts, and evaluate Tornier's performance period over period and in relation to the operating results of its competitors. Tornier's management uses the non-GAAP financial measures to help allocate its resources to both ongoing and prospective business initiatives and to help make budgeting and spending decisions, for example, between product development expenses, research and development expenses, and selling, general and administrative expenses. Tornier's management is evaluated on the basis of several of these non-GAAP financial measures when determining achievement of performance incentive compensation goals.

Tornier believes that non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools since they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with Tornier's operating results as determined in accordance with GAAP and should only be used to evaluate Tornier's operating results in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures. Accordingly, revenue on a constant currency basis should not be used as a substitute for revenue, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income (loss) and adjusted net income (loss) per share should not be used as a substitute for net income or net income per share; adjusted EBITDA margin should not be used as a substitute for net margin or operating margin; free cash flow should not be used as a substitute for cash flows from operations; and adjusted gross margin and gross margin percentage should not be used as a substitute for gross margin or gross margin as a percentage of revenue, in each case as determined in accordance with GAAP. Neither EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted net income (loss), adjusted net income (loss) per share, free cash flow, adjusted gross margin and gross margin as a percentage of revenue, should be an indication of whether cash flow will be sufficient to fund Tornier's cash requirements. Additionally, the calculation of non-GAAP financial measures is not based on any comprehensive or standard set of accounting rules or principles. Accordingly, Tornier's definitions of revenue on a constant currency basis, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted net income (loss), adjusted net income (loss) per share, free cash flow, adjusted gross margin and gross margin as a percentage of revenue, may differ from the definitions of other companies using the same or similar names limiting, to some extent, the usefulness of such measures for comparison purposes.

For further information regarding why Tornier believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors, the specific manner in which management uses these measures, and some of the limitations associated with the use of these measures, please refer to Tornier's current report on Form 8-K filed today with the Securities and Exchange Commission which attaches this release as an exhibit. This current report on Form 8-K is available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov or on Tornier's website at www.tornier.com.
