Management Comment
Exactech CEO and President David Petty said, “Worldwide sales increased 6% to $65.3 million. U.S. sales were up 8% to $44.6 million compared with $41.2 million in the first quarter a year ago. International sales increased 3% to $20.7 million. U.S. sales represented 68% of total sales and international sales were 32% of the total. During the quarter we continued to do surgeries with our new revision hip and revision knee systems which remain in pilot launch mode. We will ramp up availability of both of those systems during the second and third quarters. The proximal humeral reconstruction stem is in full launch. We also are seeing increased benefit from improvements we have made to the U.S. sales channel and expect that momentum to continue.”
Chief Financial Officer Jody Phillips said, “Gross margins decreased to 69% from 70% for the first quarter a year ago due to continued pricing pressures. Total operating expenses for the quarter increased 5% to $38.6 million; however, as a percentage of sales decreased to 59%, compared to 60% for the first quarter of 2015. Sales and marketing expenses increased 7% to $23.3 million, which included the integration of our recently acquired distributor in Australia. General and administrative expenses increased 1% in the first quarter to $5.9 million and research and development expenses increased 12% to $5.1 million during the first quarter reflecting ongoing significant investment in our new product pipeline.
Looking forward, Exactech increased its 2016 revenue guidance to $250-$257 million and its diluted EPS target to $1.14 – $1.19. For the second quarter ending June 30, 2016, the company said it anticipates revenues of $63-$65 and diluted EPS of $0.29-$0.31.
