Second Quarter Financial Results

Net sales during the second quarter of fiscal year 2013 increased 9% to $790.1 million, compared to net sales of $725.1 million during the second quarter of fiscal year 2012. Excluding the effect of foreign currency, net sales increased 11% during the second quarter. U.S. net sales increased 10% to $470.8 million during the second quarter, while Europe net sales decreased 1% (increased 5% constant currency) to $193.9 million and International (primarily Canada, South America, Mexico and the Pacific Rim) net sales increased 21% (22% constant currency) to $125.4 million.

Special items (pre-tax) totaled $96.8 million during the second quarter, including $74.2 million of non-cash amortization expense related to the 2007 Merger and $7.4 million of stock compensation expense. The remaining $15.2 million of special items were primarily associated with the Trauma Acquisition, certain legal charges and the Company’s ongoing operational improvement program.

Reported operating income during the second quarter of fiscal year 2013 was $143.2 million, compared to operating income of $103.8 million during the second quarter of fiscal year 2012. Excluding special items, adjusted operating income totaled $240.0 million during the second quarter of fiscal year 2013, compared to $219.7 million for the second quarter of fiscal year 2012.

Excluding special items, adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) was $288.2 million, or 36.5% of net sales, during the second quarter of fiscal year 2013, compared to $266.3 million, or 36.7% of net sales, for the second quarter of fiscal year 2012.

Interest expense was $104.9 million during the second quarter of fiscal year 2013, compared to $120.8 million during the second quarter of the prior year, primarily due to lower average interest rates on our term loans and lower bond interest as a result of refinancing activities. Other Expense totaled $124.0 million for the quarter, primarily due to $117.2 million of loss on retirement of debt which was incurred as part of the refinancing activities completed during the quarter.

Reported cash flow from operations was $43.1 million during the second quarter of fiscal year 2013, as compared to reported cash flow from operations of $10.7 million for the second quarter of fiscal year 2012. Free cash flow (operating cash flow of $43.1 million minus capital expenditures of $53.8 million) was a use of cash of $10.7 million, which reflected $155.5 million of cash interest paid in the quarter, compared to negative free cash flow (operating cash flow of $10.7 million minus capital expenditures of $42.0 million) of $31.3 million during the second quarter of fiscal year 2012, which reflected $191.7 million of cash interest paid.

At November 30, 2012, reported gross debt was $6,039.6 million, and cash and cash equivalents, as defined in the Company’s Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated August 2, 2012, totaled $167.5 million, resulting in net debt of $5,872.1 million, compared to $5,335.4 million at May 31, 2012, reflecting the impact of the Trauma Acquisition, our debt refinancing activities and foreign currency translation on our Euro-denominated debt.

Biomet’s senior secured leverage ratio as of November 30, 2012 was 3.01 times the last twelve months (“LTM”) adjusted EBITDA, as defined by our credit agreement, compared to 4.01 times at May 31, 2008. The total (net debt) leverage ratio was 5.52 times LTM adjusted EBITDA at November 30, 2012, compared to 6.97 times at May 31, 2008.

Biomet’s President and Chief Executive Officer Jeffrey R. Binder remarked, “We had a strong second quarter of fiscal year 2013. We reported top line growth of 9%, which translated to 11% growth on a constant currency basis, and we delivered strong bottom line growth. Adjusted EBITDA improved 8% over the prior year quarter to $288 million or 36.5% of net sales, despite the short-term costs incurred in connection with our trauma acquisition. In addition, we’ve substantially completed the integration of our trauma acquisition, and our Sports, Extremities and Trauma (S.E.T.) revenues are now approaching 20% of our net sales at an annualized run rate of $600 million.”

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Those statements are often indicated by the use of words such as “will,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “plan” and similar expressions. Forward-looking statements involve certain risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by the forward looking statements due to, among others, the following factors: the success of the Company’s principal product lines; the results of the ongoing investigation by the United States Department of Justice; the ability to successfully implement new technologies; the Company’s ability to sustain sales and earnings growth; the Company’s success in achieving timely approval or clearance of its products with domestic and foreign regulatory entities; the impact to the business as a result of compliance with federal, state and foreign governmental regulations and with the Deferred Prosecution Agreement and Corporate Integrity Agreement; the impact to the business as a result of the economic downturn in both foreign and domestic markets; the impact of federal health care reform; the impact of anticipated changes in the musculoskeletal industry and the ability of the Company to react to and capitalize on those changes; the ability of the Company to successfully implement its desired organizational changes and cost-saving initiatives; the ability of the Company to successfully integrate the Trauma Acquisition; the impact to the business as a result of the Company’s significant international operations, including, among others, with respect to foreign currency fluctuations and the success of the Company’s transition of certain manufacturing operations to China; the impact of the Company’s managerial changes; the ability of the Company’s customers to receive adequate levels of reimbursement from third-party payors; the Company’s ability to maintain its existing intellectual property rights and obtain future intellectual property rights; the impact to the business as a result of cost containment efforts of group purchasing organizations; the Company’s ability to retain existing independent sales agents for its products; the impact of product liability litigation losses; and other factors set forth in the Company’s filings with the SEC, including the Company’s most recent annual report on Form 10-K and quarterly reports on Form 10-Q. Although the Company believes that the assumptions on which the forward-looking statements contained herein are based are reasonable, any of those assumptions could prove to be inaccurate given the inherent uncertainties as to the occurrence or non-occurrence of future events.

The inclusion of a forward-looking statement herein should not be regarded as a representation by the Company that the Company’s objectives will be achieved.

Accordingly, the reader is cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements which speak only as of the date on which they were made.

*Non-GAAP Financial Measures:

Management uses non-GAAP financial measures, such as net sales excluding the impact of foreign currency (constant currency), operating income as adjusted, Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA) as adjusted, net income as adjusted, gross profit as adjusted, selling, general and administrative expense as adjusted, research and development expense as adjusted, cash and cash equivalents (as defined by our credit agreement), net debt, senior secured leverage ratio, total leverage ratio, free cash flow, and unlevered free cash flow. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures are included elsewhere in the press release.

The term “adjusted” or “as adjusted,” a non-GAAP financial measure, refers to financial performance measures that exclude certain income statement line items, such as interest, taxes, depreciation or amortization, other (income) expense, and/or exclude certain expenses as defined by our credit agreement, such as restructuring charges, non-cash impairment charges, integration and facilities opening costs or other business optimization expenses, new systems design and implementation costs, certain start-up costs and costs related to consolidation of facilities, certain non-cash charges, advisory fees paid to the Company’s private equity owners, certain severance charges, purchase accounting costs, stock-based compensation, litigation costs, and other related charges.

These non-GAAP financial measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative for, GAAP in the United States. Biomet management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors; however, this additional non-GAAP financial information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Non-GAAP Reconciliation

A reconciliation of reported results to adjusted results is included in this press release, which is also posted on Biomet’s website: www.biomet.com
