Comments
"Headwinds continue in all four of our business units," stated M. Christine Jacobs, Chairman and CEO. "The medical device sector in which we reside is facing a triple threat of healthcare reform fallout, an impending medical device tax and macroeconomic uncertainty. Theragenics intends to weather this triple threat by continuing our plans for long term organic growth, improving profitability and conservative cash flow management."
"In our surgical products segment customer behavior is erratic but open orders have remained similar to past trends. Overall our large customer base remains intact," remarked Ms. Jacobs.
Ms. Jacobs continued, "In our brachytherapy business, palladium revenue declined year over year due to an industry wide decline in prostate cancer procedures that we do not believe is specific to brachytherapy. Recent press reports indicate more men are opting for no screening or no treatment at all. These reports are consistent with what we are hearing and affect all treatment types. As an upside, our recent Core transaction partially offset the decline in palladium revenue by increasing our iodine sales contribution to revenue and profitability."
"We had two additional events this quarter," Ms. Jacobs stated. "We completed our $10 million share repurchase in July, which was funded entirely from cash on hand. We also renewed our credit facility in October with terms more favorable than our previous credit facility. We couldn't have accomplished these important tasks had our balance sheet and operations been wanting. Indeed, our position and ability to weather current headwinds is strong."
Ms. Jacobs concluded, "Our short and long-term plans to address these threats include consolidating functions across the company, eliminating redundancies, seeking out opportunities and reducing costs."

This press release contains disclosure of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and share-based compensation (which we refer to as "Adjusted EBITDA"). We believe Adjusted EBITDA provides an additional and meaningful assessment of our ongoing results and performance. Because we have historically reported what we currently refer to as Adjusted EBITDA, we also believe that the inclusion of this non-GAAP measure provides consistency in our financial reporting and facilitates investors' understanding of our historical operating trends by providing an additional basis for comparisons to prior periods. In addition to measures such as net income and operating income as calculated and presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"), we utilize Adjusted EBITDA, among other things, 1) to establish financial and operational goals; 2) to monitor our actual performance in relation to our business plan and operating budgets; 3) to understand key trends; 4) to make operational decisions and allocate resources; and 5) as part of several components we consider in determining incentive compensation. We believe presentation of Adjusted EBITDA provides supplemental information that is helpful to an understanding of the operating results of our businesses and period-to-period comparisons of performance. However, we recognize that the use of non-GAAP measures has limitations, including the fact that they may not be directly comparable with similar non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. We compensate for these limitations by providing reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. All non-GAAP financial measures are intended to supplement the applicable GAAP disclosures and should not be considered in isolation from, or as substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. For a reconciliation of non-GAAP measures from GAAP reported amounts, please refer to Table IV to this press release.

From time to time we may make other forward-looking statements relating to other matters, including without limitation, expected total purchase price of the Core asset acquisition, research and development plans, investments in our surgical products and brachytherapy businesses and capital expenditures.
