Company Provides Full-Year 2016 Net Sales Guidance of $695 Million to $705 Million

AMSTERDAM, The Netherlands, Feb. 23, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Wright Medical Group N.V. (NASDAQ:WMGI) today reported financial results for its fourth quarter and full-year ended December 27, 2015 and provided 2016 guidance. Certain unaudited non-GAAP pro forma financial results for the combined Wright Medical Group N.V. which give effect to the Wright/Tornier merger as if it had occurred on the first day of fiscal 2014 can be found on Wright's website at ir.wright.com.

As previously announced, Wright Medical Group, Inc. and Tornier N.V. completed their merger on October 1, 2015, and, in accordance with U.S. GAAP, 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. Since the legacy Tornier business began its fourth quarter on September 28, 2015, its financial results from the operating days between September 28, 2015 and September 30, 2015 are not included in the combined company's as reported results of operations for the fourth quarter of 2015.

Following the closing of the merger, Wright adopted legacy Tornier's fiscal calendar, which resulted in four fewer calendar days for the fourth quarter of 2015 than under the legacy Wright fiscal calendar. Additionally, the Wright business conformed its methodology for recognizing revenue to legacy Tornier's methodology.

Net sales totaled $177.0 million during the fourth quarter ended December 27, 2015. Combined company pro forma net sales totaled $181.4 million during the fourth quarter ended December 27, 2015. On a same sales day and constant currency basis and excluding the impact of conforming Wright's methodology for recognizing revenue, combined pro forma global extremities and biologics revenue grew 14%. The attached financial tables include a reconciliation of U.S. GAAP to these non-GAAP financial measures.

Robert Palmisano, president and chief executive officer, commented, 'In our first quarter as a newly merged Wright Medical, we delivered outstanding fourth quarter results that reflect the continued strong underlying growth and positive momentum in our legacy Wright lower extremities and legacy Tornier upper extremities businesses. Our pro forma global extremities and biologics growth of 14% was a two percentage point acceleration from the third quarter of 2015, and combined with earlier than anticipated progress on capturing cost synergies, resulted in pro forma net sales and positive adjusted EBITDA results that significantly exceeded our expectations. We also got off to a strong start on executing our merger integration plans and with the early success we are seeing, we believe we are well positioned to continue our strong business momentum and to deliver on our synergy commitments as we progress through 2016.'

Palmisano continued, 'Highlights in the quarter included strong contributions from our new SIMPLICITI shoulder system and the ongoing rollout of the AEQUALIS ASCEND FLEX convertible shoulder system, a positive start to our U.S. commercial activities for AUGMENT Bone Graft, and the ongoing launch of the INFINITY total ankle replacement system, which drove over 40% sales growth in U.S. total ankle replacement for the fourth quarter of 2015 and over 45% growth for the full-year of 2015.'

Palmisano further commented, 'Our 2016 guidance assumes mid-teens underlying combined pro forma constant currency growth in extremities and biologics, excluding the impact of anticipated revenue dis-synergies. We also expect growth to accelerate in our biologics business due to the ongoing launch of AUGMENT Bone Graft in the U.S. We will continue to focus on successfully executing our integration plans to realize our full potential and believe that the positive progress we saw in the fourth quarter is setting us up well for continued strong revenue growth and significant margin expansion in 2016 and beyond.'

Net loss from continuing operations for the fourth quarter of 2015 totaled $92.2 million, or $(0.90) per diluted share. Our combined pro forma net loss from continuing operations, as defined in the GAAP to non-GAAP reconciliation provided later in this release, for the fourth quarter of 2015 totaled $89.3 million.

The company's combined pro forma net loss from continuing operations for the fourth quarter of 2015 included the after-tax effects of $39.2 million of transaction and transition costs, $14.2 million of non-cash share-based compensation charges associated with the closing of the merger, $11.4 million of inventory step-up amortization, a loss of $2.3 million related to mark-to-market adjustments on derivatives, and $6.9 million of non-cash interest expense related to its 2017 convertible notes and 2020 convertible notes.

The company's fourth quarter 2015 combined pro forma net loss from continuing operations, as adjusted for the above items, was $17.5 million. The company's fourth quarter 2015 combined pro forma adjusted EBITDA, as defined in the GAAP to non-GAAP reconciliation provided later in this release, was $10.9 million. The attached financial tables include reconciliations of U.S. GAAP to non-GAAP measures.

Cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities for the combined business totaled $139.8 million as of the end of the fourth quarter of 2015.

Palmisano concluded, 'Following our merger, we have leading positions in the highest growth markets in orthopaedics with differentiated technologies and focused sales forces. We have multiple opportunities through a robust new product pipeline to further accelerate our growth, continue to expand our markets and gain market share. With the execution of our integration plans off to a positive and productive start, we are well positioned to continue to accelerate our business momentum and drive market leading growth and profitability.'

Outlook

The company anticipates net sales for full-year 2016 of approximately $695 million to $705 million. This range assumes a negative impact from foreign currency exchange rates as compared to 2015 of approximately 2% and reflects approximately $25 million to $30 million of potential net sales dis-synergies expected to be realized throughout 2016 from the merger with Tornier. The midpoint of this net sales guidance range assumes combined pro forma extremities and biologics constant currency growth of 14%, excluding the impact of revenue dis-synergies.

The company anticipates 2016 adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations, as described in the GAAP to non-GAAP reconciliation provided later in this release, of $20.0 million to $30.0 million. This range reflects approximately $10 million to $15 million of potential cost synergies expected to be realized in 2016 from the merger with Tornier.

The company anticipates adjusted cash earnings per share from continuing operations, including share-based compensation, as described in the GAAP to non-GAAP reconciliation provided later in this release, for full-year 2016 of $(0.65) to $(0.71) per diluted share.

The company estimates approximately 103 million diluted weighted average ordinary shares outstanding for fiscal year 2016.

The company's adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations target is measured by adding back to net income/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. Further, this adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations target excludes any expenses, earnings or losses related to Wright's divested OrthoRecon business and Tornier's divested ankle and silastic toe products.

The company's adjusted cash earnings per share from continuing operations target is measured by adding back to net income/loss from continuing operations charges for non-cash amortization expenses, net of taxes. Note that due to 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 cash earnings per share from continuing operations target excludes possible future acquisitions; other material future business developments; non-cash interest expense associated with the 2017 and 2020 convertible notes; due diligence, transaction and transition costs associated with acquisitions and divestitures; mark-to-market adjustments to the CVRs; and non-cash mark-to-market derivative adjustments.

The company's anticipated ranges for net sales, adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations, and adjusted cash 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.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement the company's consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), the company uses certain non-GAAP financial measures in this release. Reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures used in this release to the most comparable U.S. GAAP measures for the respective periods can be found in tables later in this press release. Wright's non-GAAP financial measures, include combined pro forma net sales; combined pro forma net sales, excluding the impact of foreign currency and revenue recognition conformance; combined pro forma net income, as adjusted; combined pro forma EBITDA, as adjusted; combined pro forma cash earnings, as adjusted; and combined pro forma cash earnings, as adjusted, per diluted share. 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 as if it had occurred on the first day of fiscal 2014 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 the fiscal year. Wright's non-GAAP financial measures exclude such items as costs associated with distributor conversions and non-competes, non-cash interest expense related to the company's 2017 convertible notes and 2020 convertible notes, write-off of the pro rata unamortized deferred financing costs and debt discount associated with the 2017 convertible notes, net gains and losses on mark-to-market adjustments on and settlements of derivative assets and liabilities, mark-to-market adjustments on CVRs, 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. Management uses these measures 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 these 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.

_______________________________
(1) Legacy Tornier's product line sales have been recast to reflect the reclassification of cement, instruments and freight from the historical Tornier product line 'Large Joints and Other' to the product line associated with those revenues that will be utilized for future revenue reporting.
(2) To reduce from Legacy Tornier's historical sales the U.S. sales associated with Tornier's Salto Talaris and Salto XT ankle replacement products and silastic toe replacement products.
(3) To add revenues from Legacy Tornier's fourth quarter for the period prior to Merger closing date when operations became consolidated.
(4) The impact of FX on net sales is calculated by translating current year results at prior year average foreign currency exchange rates.
(5) Legacy Wright recognized approximately $3 million during the fourth quarter of 2015, as result of conforming its methodology for revenue recognition with Legacy Tornier.
(6) Legacy Wright and Legacy Tornier have historically operated on different fiscal periods. In order to calculate Pro Forma sales growth, we have calculated average sales per day ('ASPD') based on the respective legacy company and the associated geographic region, then added the legacy company ASPD together.
[Example: Q4 2015 Pro Forma Legacy Tornier U.S. Sales / Legacy Tornier U.S. Selling Days = $880K. Q4 2015 Adjusted Legacy Wright U.S. Sales / Legacy Wright U.S. Selling Days = $1,191K. Adjusted Pro Forma Combined Average Sales per Day = $2,072K]
(7) Reflects growth of Pro Forma ASPD over comparable period. International Sales and Global Sales growth excludes the impact of FX (see Note 4).
