Accellent Inc. Announces First Quarter 2013 Results

WILMINGTON, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Accellent Inc. (the "Company" or "Accellent"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Accellent Holdings Corp., today announced results for its fiscal first quarter ended March 31, 2013.

"While financial results in the first quarter were challenging, we remain confident in our strategy and continue to focus on improved execution of our business plans," stated Donald Spence, President and CEO of Accellent. "To enhance and speed our performance, during the first quarter of 2013, we completed our reorganization into two segments: Advanced Surgical and Cardio & Vascular. We believe that this change will align our strategy with our customers' needs by providing a deeper product focus and expertise, as we continue to drive growth."


First Quarter 2013 Financial Results

Net sales were $120.8 million in the first quarter of 2013 compared with $124.6 million in the first quarter of 2012. Loss from continuing operations was $43.5 million in the first quarter of 2013, compared with income from continuing operations of $10.0 million in the first quarter of 2012. Net loss was $62.1 million in the first quarter of 2013 compared to $7.0 million in the first quarter of 2012.

The loss from continuing operations and net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2013 include an estimated $51 million pre-tax goodwill impairment charge which came as a result of impairment testing required following the change in composition of our segments and reporting units. This impairment charge, subject to finalization, is associated with our new Advanced Surgical reporting unit. There was no impairment charge in 2012.

Adjusted EBITDA in the first quarter of 2013 was $18.5 million, or 15.3% of net sales, compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $21.6 million, or 17.4% of net sales, in the first quarter of 2012.

(1) EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA presented in this press release are supplemental measures of our performance that are not required by, or presented in accordance with, GAAP. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not measurements of our financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to net income (loss) or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP, or as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities as a measure of our liquidity.

EBITDA represents net income (loss) before net interest expense, provision for income taxes and depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA further adjusted to give effect to certain non-cash items and other adjustments, all of which are defined in the indentures governing our debt. The adjustments include adjustments for restructuring charges and related plant closure costs, stock compensation charges, severance and relocation costs, executive recruiting costs, currency gains and losses, gains and losses on derivative instruments, gains and losses resulting from the disposal of property and equipment, certain non-income based taxes, losses on debt extinguishment, and management fees.

We believe that the presentation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA is appropriate to provide as additional information for investors. We consider it an important supplemental measure of our performance and we believe that both are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of high yield issuers.
