®
in this presentation speak only as of the date of this release, and Wright and Tornier undertake no
obligation to update or revise any of these statements. Wrights and Torniers
businesses are subject to substantial risks and uncertainties, including those referenced
above. Investors, potential investors, and others should give careful consideration to these risks and uncertainties.
Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking
Statements |
Wright
and Tornier use non-GAAP financial measures, including EBITDA, as adjusted. Their
respective management teams believe that the presentation of these measures
provides useful information to investors and that these measures may assist
investors in evaluating their respective companys
operations,
period
over
period.
EBITDA
is
calculated
by
adding
back
to
net
income
charges for interest, income taxes and depreciation and amortization expenses.
While it is not possible to reconcile the adjusted EBITDA forecast in this
presentation to the nearest metric under U.S. generally accepted accounting
principles (GAAP) of the combined business without unreasonable effort, the
adjusted EBITDA forecast excludes non-cash stock based compensation
expense and non-operating income and expense, as well as the expected impact of
such items as transaction and transition costs, impacts from the sale of
Wrights OrthoRecon business and costs associated with distributor
conversions and non-competes, all of which may be highly variable,
difficult to predict and of a size that could have substantial impact on the
combined companys reported results of operations for a period.
Investors should consider these non-GAAP measures only as a supplement
to, not as a substitute for or as superior to, measures of financial performance
prepared in accordance with GAAP.
