Material Changes vs. Prior Period
- Revenue Growth: Total revenue increased 17% ($22.4M) for the quarter and 21% ($55.4M) for the six months compared to the prior year. Growth was driven by acquisitions (IsoTis, Precise Dental, LXU, Physician Industries) and organic growth in DuraGen and extremity reconstruction products.
- Profitability: Net income increased 48% for the quarter and 38% for the six months. This was driven by revenue growth, improved gross margins (63% vs 61% in Q2), and a lower effective tax rate in Q2 (32.7% vs 35.8%).
- Expenses: Selling, general, and administrative (SG&A) expenses increased due to expanded sales forces and integration costs. Research and development (R&D) expenses rose due to clinical trials for DuraGen Plus.
- Debt Restructuring: The company repaid its $120M 2008 Contingent Convertible Notes in March/April 2008 using proceeds from its senior credit facility. The notes were converted or repaid, resulting in the issuance of approximately 768,000 shares of common stock.
Guidance, Outlook, Risks, and Unusual Items
- Outlook: Management expects SG&A expenses to decrease to between 38% and 40% of revenue in the remainder of 2008 and into 2009 as leverage is gained from larger sales organizations. R&D expenses are expected to increase due to clinical activities.
- Subsequent Events:
- Acquisition: On August 1, 2008, the company acquired Theken Spine, LLC, Theken Disc, LLC, and Therics, LLC for $75M cash plus up to $125M in future performance-based payments.
- Financing: On July 28, 2008, the company borrowed an additional $80M under its credit facility to fund the Theken acquisition, bringing total revolver borrowings to $200M.
- Executive Compensation: On August 6, 2008, CEO Stuart M. Essig's employment agreement was amended, extending his term and granting 375,000 RSUs (immediate vesting) and stock options, resulting in an approximate $18M charge.
- Risks & Contingencies:
- Internal Controls: The company disclosed material weaknesses in internal controls over financial reporting (personnel, reconciliations, intercompany transactions, tax provisions, and system access) that existed as of June 30, 2008. Remediation is ongoing.
- Regulatory: Products containing bovine tissue (22% of revenue) face scrutiny regarding BSE (mad cow disease) and potential bans or new regulations in key markets like Japan and the EU.
- Legal: Ongoing patent litigation with Codman & Shurtleff (Johnson & Johnson) regarding DuraGen technology.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Internal Control Remediation: Verify the progress of remediation plans for the five identified material weaknesses in internal controls, as these pose a risk to future financial reporting accuracy.
- Theken Acquisition Integration: Monitor the financial impact and integration progress of the $200M+ Theken acquisition announced in August 2008.
- Bovine Tissue Regulatory Status: Track regulatory developments in Japan and the EU regarding bovine-derived products, which constitute a significant portion of revenue.
- Debt Covenants: Review the terms of the senior credit facility, specifically the waiver regarding material weaknesses in internal controls which expires November 15, 2008, and the requirement to deliver a compliance certificate by February 28, 2009.
- CEO Compensation Impact: Assess the impact of the $18M charge related to the CEO's new equity grant on future earnings.
