Management Comment
Exactech CEO and President David Petty said, “Driven by continuing strong double digit growth in extremities revenue, we recorded our strongest quarter ever. Worldwide sales rose 7% to $63.3 million. U.S. sales were up 7% to $41.6 million compared with $39.0 million in the first quarter a year ago. International sales increased 6% to $21.7 million. U.S. sales represented 66% of total sales and international sales were 34% of the total. On a constant currency basis, international sales increased 7% and worldwide sales grew 7% for the quarter. As our extremity revenues continued to exceed our expectations, we also were pleased with the international performance of our hip segment."
Chief Financial Officer Jody Phillips said, “Gross margins increased to 71% from 69% for the first quarter a year ago primarily due to continued focus on manufacturing cost reductions as well as the pricing impact of stronger European currencies. Total operating expenses for the quarter increased 10% to $38.0 million and as a percentage of sales increased to 60% from 58% for the first quarter of 2013. General and administrative expenses increased 14% in the first quarter to $5.8 million from $5.1 million and Sales and marketing expenses increased 10% to $23.7 million. An extensive review of our global compliance programs contributed to increases in both G&A and S&M expenses. Research and development expenses increased 9% to $4.2 million during the first quarter reflecting ongoing significant investment in our new product pipeline. We are encouraged we were able to deliver operating margin and net income expansion considering these investments."
Looking forward, Exactech updated its 2014 revenue guidance to $247-$254 million and its diluted EPS target to $1.19 – $1.24. For the second quarter ending June 30, 2014, the company said it anticipates revenues of $62 - $64 million and diluted EPS of $0.29-$0.31. The foregoing statements regarding targets for the quarter and full year are forward-looking and actual results may differ materially.
