should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statement. The forward-looking statements
are made as of the date of this quarterly report, and we assume no obligation to update any
forward-looking statement after this date.

WRIGHT MEDICAL GROUP, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation. The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements of Wright
Medical Group, Inc. have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States (U.S.) for interim financial information and the instructions to Quarterly
Report on Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Certain information and footnote disclosures
normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the U.S. have been condensed or omitted pursuant to these rules and
regulations. Accordingly, these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements
should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes included
in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006, as filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
In the opinion of management, these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements
reflect all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of our interim financial results. All
such adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature. The results of operations for any interim
period are not necessarily indicative of results for the full fiscal year.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements include our accounts
and those of our wholly-owned domestic and international subsidiaries. Intercompany accounts and
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements. In June 2006, the Financial Accounting
Standards Board (FASB) issued Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 06-3, How Taxes Collected
from Customers and Remitted to Governmental Authorities Should Be Presented in the Income Statement
(That Is, Gross Versus Net Presentation), (EITF 06-3). EITF 06-3 states that the classification of
any tax assessed by a governmental authority that is imposed concurrent with or subsequent to a
revenue-producing transaction between a seller and a customer as gross or net is an accounting
policy decision that is dependent on the type of tax and that similar taxes are to be presented in
a similar manner. EITF 06-3 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. We
continue to present such taxes on a net basis in our consolidated statement of operations, and,
therefore, the adoption of EITF 06-3 had no effect on our consolidated financial position, results
of operations or cash flows.
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value
Measurements (FAS 157). This Standard defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring
fair value in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures
about fair value measurements. FAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal
years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption
of FAS 157 is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial position,
results of operations or cash flows.
2. Acquisitions
DARCO International, Inc. On April 5, 2007, we completed the acquisition of substantially all the
assets of Darco International, Inc.s (Darco) reconstructive foot surgery line of business for a
cash payment of $17.1 million. Darcos reconstructive product line consists of a broad offering of
procedure-specific plating systems designed with leading foot surgeons, including the MRS (Modular
Rearfoot), MFS (Modular Forefoot) and FRS (Forefoot Reconstructive) Systems. These three systems
offer a combined ten different plating options and specialized screw fixation systems for use in
advanced reconstructive foot procedures.
The operating results from this acquisition are included in the condensed consolidated financial
statements from the acquisition date.

The acquisition was recorded by allocating the costs of the assets acquired based on their
estimated fair values at the acquisition date. The excess of the cost of the acquisition over the
net of amounts assigned to the fair value of the assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. The
purchase price allocation has been prepared on a preliminary basis, and reasonable changes may
occur as additional information becomes available. The following is a summary of the estimated fair
values of the assets acquired, which includes transaction costs (in thousands):

Of the $2.2 million of acquired intangible assets, $1.1 million was assigned to customer
relationships (ten year useful life), $540,000 was assigned to trademarks (five year useful life),
$250,000 was assigned to distribution channels (ten year useful life), and $290,000 to other assets
(five year useful life).
R&R Medical, Inc. On April 16, 2007, we acquired certain assets of R&R Medical, Inc. (R&R), a
Pennsylvania-based company focused on providing external fixation devices to the foot and ankle and
trauma markets. The purchase consists of an initial cash payment of $8.0 million and potential
additional cash payments based upon future financial performance of the acquired assets. Assets
acquired include the R&R external fixation product line, which consists of an array of foot- and
ankle-focused external fixation devices, including the Circular Freedom Frame, the Hollawell
Tomahawk Mini-Fixator, the Patriot Mini-Fixator and the Stealth Fusion System. These products
address those external fixation procedures most commonly performed by foot and ankle surgeons and
surgical podiatrists. The R&R product line is highly complementary to our rapidly expanding line of
reconstructive and biologic products for foot surgery.

(ten year useful life), $120,000 was assigned to registered trademarks (two year useful life), and
$540,000 was assigned to other assets (ten year useful life).
Our consolidated results of operations would not have been significantly different than reported
results had the Darco and R&R acquisitions occurred at the beginning of 2007 or 2006, respectively.

At June 30, 2007, our availability under a revolving credit facility totaled $97.1 million, after
considering outstanding letters of credit. This credit facility can be increased by up to an
additional $50 million at our request and subject to the agreement of the lenders. Borrowings under
the credit facility will bear interest at the sum of an annual base rate plus an applicable annual
rate that ranges from 1.125% to 4.55% depending on the type of loan and our consolidated leverage
ratio, with a current annual base rate of 8.25%.

Based on the intangible assets held at June 30, 2007, we expect to recognize amortization expense
of approximately $3.8 million for the full year of 2007, $3.5 million in 2008, $3.1 million in
2009, $800,000 in 2010, and $550,000 in 2011.
7. Stock-Based Compensation
Effective January 1, 2006, we adopted SFAS No. 123R, Share-Based Payment, which requires the
recognition of the fair value of stock-based payment awards. Our stock-based compensation plans are
described more fully in Note 12 to our consolidated financial statements included in our Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.
For the three-month periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, we recognized $3.8 million ($3.0 million
net of taxes) and $3.1 million ($2.5 million net of taxes), respectively, in non-cash stock-based
compensation expense, which reduced basic and diluted earnings per share by $0.08 and $0.07 for the
same periods. For the six-month periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, we recognized $8.5 million
($6.5 million net of taxes) and $6.5 million ($5.2 million net of taxes), respectively, in non-cash
stock-based compensation expense, which reduced basic and diluted earnings per share by $0.18 and
$0.15 for the same periods. Further, $921,000 and $482,000 of non-cash stock-based compensation was
capitalized as part of the cost of inventory and as an intangible asset, respectively as of June
30, 2007.
Beginning January 2007, we determined that our equity compensation in the future will consist of
both stock options and non-vested shares of common stock. Guidelines for the number of stock
options or non-vested shares of common stock awards granted are determined using a procedure
approved by the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors based upon several factors,
including the individuals level of responsibility, salary grade, and performance.
In the six-month period ended June 30, 2007, we granted approximately 140,000 stock options and
372,000 non-vested shares of common stock at weighted-average fair values of $10.99 and $23.81,
respectively, all of which will be recognized on a straight line basis over four years, the
requisite service period. As of June 30, 2007, we had 5.0 million stock options outstanding, of
which 2.9 million were exercisable, and 395,000 non-vested shares of common stock outstanding.
We had $30 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock-based
compensation arrangements granted to employees as of June 30, 2007. That cost is expected to be
recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.6 years.
8. Income Taxes and Change in Accounting Principle
Effective January 1, 2007, we adopted FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in
Income Taxes An Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (FIN 48). FIN 48 clarifies the
accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in a companys financial statements in
accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, by defining the criterion that
an individual tax position must meet in order to be recognized in the
7
WRIGHT MEDICAL GROUP, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
(UNAUDITED)
financial statements. FIN 48 requires that the tax effects of a position be recognized only if it
is more-likely-than-not to be sustained based solely on the technical merits as of the reporting
date. Upon adoption of FIN 48, we recorded a $7.2 million reduction to our liability for
unrecognized tax benefits as an adjustment to the 2007 opening balance of retained earnings.
As of January 1, 2007, our liability for unrecognized tax benefits totaled $5.5 million, of which
approximately $400,000 was recognized as an income tax benefit during the three months ended March
31, 2007, upon the effective settlement of a tax examination. As of June 30, 2007, our liability
for unrecognized tax benefits totaled $5.3 million and is recorded in our condensed consolidated
balance sheet within Other liabilities, all of which, if recognized, would affect our effective
tax rate. Management does not believe that it is reasonably possible that our unrecognized tax
benefits will significantly change within the next 12 months.
FIN 48 further requires that interest required to be paid by the tax law on the underpayment of
taxes should be accrued on the difference between the amount claimed or expected to be claimed on
the tax return and the tax benefit recognized in the financial statements. Management has made the
policy election to record this interest as interest expense. As of January 1, 2007, accrued
interest related to our unrecognized tax benefits totaled $51,000, which is recorded in our
condensed consolidated balance sheet within Accrued expenses and other current liabilities.
We file numerous consolidated and separate company income tax returns in the U.S. Federal
jurisdiction and in many U.S. state and foreign jurisdictions, with the most significant foreign
jurisdiction being France. We are no longer subject to foreign income tax examinations by tax
authorities for years before 2000. With few exceptions, we are subject to U.S. Federal, state, and
local income tax examinations for years 2003-2005. However, tax authorities have the ability to
review years prior to these to the extent that we utilized tax attributes carried forward from
those prior years.
9. Earnings Per Share
SFAS No. 128, Earnings Per Share, requires the presentation of basic and diluted earnings per
share. Basic earnings per share is calculated based on the weighted-average shares of common stock
outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated to include any dilutive
effect of our common stock equivalents. Our common stock equivalents consist of stock options and
non-vested shares of common stock. The dilutive effect of such instruments is calculated using the
treasury-stock method.
The weighted-average number of shares outstanding for basic and diluted earnings per share is as

We have excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share approximately 3.4 million and
4.4 million anti-dilutive options for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively,
and 3.8 million and 4.6 million anti-dilutive options for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and
2006, respectively. In addition, 710,000 common stock equivalents have been excluded from the
computation of diluted net loss per share for the three months ended June 30, 2007, because their
effect is anti-dilutive as a result of our net loss for the period.

11. Restructuring
On June 14, 2007, we announced plans to close our manufacturing, distribution, and administrative
facility located in Toulon, France. The facilitys closure will affect approximately 130
Toulon-based employees. We expect the facility closure to be completed by the end of 2007, with all
of Toulons production being transferred to our existing manufacturing facility in Arlington,
Tennessee and the majority of its distribution activities being transferred to our European
headquarters in Amsterdam, The Netherlands.
Management estimates that the total pre-tax restructuring charges will total approximately $20
million to $25 million. These charges include both cash and non-cash charges such as asset
impairment charges, severance and benefits costs, external legal and professional fees, and other
costs. Meetings with local staff representatives must be completed before the total amount of the
restructuring charges, timing and ongoing benefits of the targeted changes can be definitively
known. This process may span several months.
During the three months ended June 30, 2007, we recorded $7.5 million ($5.0 million net of taxes)
of restructuring charges. These charges included a $2.8 million impairment of property, plant and
equipment, a $4.0 million liability for legally-required severance obligations, and $0.7 million
for other related costs, including external legal and consulting fees. As a result of the plans to
close the facilities, we performed an evaluation of the undiscounted future cash flows of the
related asset group and recorded the impairment charge for the difference between the net book
value of the assets and their estimated fair values. The estimated fair value of these assets was
determined based upon a third-party appraisal for real estate and managements estimated salvage
value for machinery and equipment.
12. Commitments and Contingencies
In 2000, Howmedica Osteonics Corp. (Howmedica) sued us alleging patent infringement. The lawsuit
seeks an order of infringement, injunctive relief, unspecified damages and various other costs and
relief and could impact a substantial portion of our knee product line. We believe, however, that
we have strong defenses against Howmedicas claims and are vigorously defending this lawsuit. In
November 2005, the court issued a Markman ruling on claim construction holding that our products do
not literally infringe the claims of Howmedicas patent. No trial date has been set in this matter.
Management is unable to estimate the potential liability, if any, with respect to the claims and
accordingly, no provision has been made for this contingency as of June 30, 2007. These claims are
covered in part by our patent infringement insurance. Management does not believe that the outcome
of this lawsuit will have a material adverse effect on our financial position or results of
operations.
We are involved in separate disputes in Italy with a former agent and two former employees.
Management believes that it has meritorious defenses to the claims related to these disputes. The
payment of any amount related to these disputes is not probable and cannot be estimated at this
time. Accordingly, no provisions have been made for these matters as of June 30, 2007.
We are involved in a dispute with a former consultant who is demanding payment of royalties on the
sales of certain knee products as well as punitive damages. We contend that the plaintiff breached
his agreement, and therefore we owe no royalties to the plaintiff. In April 2006, the U.S. District
Court for the Eastern District of Massachusetts granted partial summary judgment in favor of the
plaintiff, ruling that the plaintiff did not breach his contract;
9
WRIGHT MEDICAL GROUP, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
(UNAUDITED)
however, the claim for punitive damages was dismissed. A damages hearing was held in March 2007,
and damages were set at $2.5 million plus interest of approximately $140,000. Both parties have the
right to appeal this ruling, and we have appealed the portion of the judgment issued in favor of
the plaintiff. We believe that we will prevail upon appeal and that an ultimate unfavorable
resolution to this matter is not probable; therefore, we have not accrued any amounts related to
this matter as of June 30, 2007.
We are involved in a dispute with a former consultant who is demanding approximately $3.6 million
for consulting payments under a contract that we terminated in 2005. This dispute will be heard in
binding arbitration, which is anticipated to occur during the third quarter of 2007. We believe
that we have meritorious defenses in this dispute and do not believe that an unfavorable ruling is
probable. Therefore, we have not accrued any amounts related to this matter as of June 30, 2007.
In addition to those noted above, we are subject to various other legal proceedings, product
liability claims and other matters which arise in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion
of management, the amount of liability, if any, with respect to these matters, will not materially
affect our results of operations or financial position.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS.
General
The following managements discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations
describes the principal factors affecting the results of our operations, financial condition and
changes in financial condition for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007. This
discussion should be read in conjunction with the accompanying unaudited financial statements and
our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006, which includes additional
information about our critical accounting policies and practices and risk factors.
Executive Overview
Company Description. We are a global orthopaedic medical device company specializing in the design,
manufacture and marketing of reconstructive joint devices and biologics products. Reconstructive
joint devices are used to replace knee, hip, and other joints that have deteriorated through
disease or injury. Biologics are used to replace damaged or diseased bone, to stimulate bone
growth, to repair damaged or diseased soft tissue, and to provide other biological solutions for
surgeons and their patients. We have been in business for over 50 years and have built a well-known
and respected brand name and strong relationships with orthopaedic surgeons.
Principal Products. We primarily sell reconstructive joint devices and biologics products. Our
reconstructive joint device sales are derived from three primary product lines: knees, hips, and
extremities. Our biologics sales encompass a broad portfolio of products designed to stimulate and
augment the natural regenerative capabilities of the human body. We also sell various orthopaedic
products not considered to be part of our knee, hip, extremity, or biologics product lines.
Significant Quarterly Business Developments. Net sales increased 12% in the second quarter of 2007
to $98.0 million, as compared to net sales of $87.5 million in the second quarter of 2006. During
the second quarter of 2007, we recorded a net loss of $2.1 million compared to net income of $2.8
million in the second quarter of 2006. The decrease in earnings is primarily a result of the
recognition of $7.5 million ($5.0 million net of taxes) of restructuring charges related to the
planned closure of our Toulon, France operations.
In June 2007, we announced our plans to close our facilities in Toulon, France. We have entered
into negotiations regarding the closure of the facilities with the local staff representatives and
expect the closure to be completed by the end of 2007. We have estimated that total pre-tax
restructuring charges will be approximately $20 million to $25 million. During the second quarter,
we recognized $7.5 million of those charges, primarily for the impairment of long-lived assets and
legally required severance obligations. See Note 11 to our condensed consolidated financial
statements for further discussion of our restructuring charges.
In April 2007, we announced the acquisition of the foot and ankle reconstruction assets of Darco
International, Inc. (Darco) and the external fixation assets of R&R Medical, Inc. (R&R). Both of
the acquisitions add key products to our extremities business. See Note 2 to our condensed
consolidated financial statements for further discussion of our acquisitions.
Our second quarter domestic sales increased 8% in 2007, primarily as a result of continued growth
within our extremity product line, which increased 25% as compared to prior year. Our domestic
extremity growth was primarily the result of the continued success of our CHARLOTTE
Foot and Ankle System, as well as the introduction of the Darco and R&R products. Further
contributing to our domestic sales growth, we experienced 14% growth in our biologics product line
and 3% growth in our knee product line during the second quarter.
Our international sales grew 18% to $39.4 million in the second quarter of 2007, compared to $33.4
million in the second quarter of 2006. This increase was partially attributable to sales of $1.6
million associated with our Darco acquisition. The continued growth in our Asian markets and the
majority of our European operations also contributed to the increase. Additionally, international
sales in the second quarter of 2007 included a favorable currency impact of $817,000.
Significant Industry Factors. Our industry is impacted by numerous competitive, regulatory, and
other significant factors. The growth of our business relies on our ability to continue to develop
new products and innovative technologies, obtain regulatory clearance and compliance for our
products, protect the proprietary technology of our products and our manufacturing processes,
manufacture our products cost-effectively, respond to competitive
pressures specific to each of our geographic markets, including our ability to enforce non-compete
agreements, and successfully market and distribute our products in a profitable manner. We, and the
entire industry, are subject to extensive governmental regulation, primarily by the United States
Food and Drug Administration. Failure to comply
11
with regulatory requirements could have a material
adverse effect on our business. Additionally, our industry is highly competitive and has recently
experienced increased pricing pressures, specifically in the area of reconstructive joint devices
and biologic bone repair products. We devote significant resources to assessing and analyzing
competitive, regulatory, and economic risks and opportunities. A detailed discussion of these risks
and other factors is provided in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2006.
In addition to the factors noted above, in 2005 and 2006, as part of a governmental inquiry into
the orthopaedic industry, several of our competitors received subpoenas from the United States
Department of Justice (the DOJ). Based on publicly available information, we believe that these
subpoenas requested information related to antitrust issues in regard to these companies
relationships with orthopaedic surgeons. As of the date of this quarterly report, we have not been
contacted by the DOJ or received a subpoena from the DOJ relating to this investigation.

Product Line Sales as a Percentage of Total Net Sales
|
|
|
2007
|
|
2006 |
|
|
|
Net Sales. Our overall net sales growth of 12% in the second quarter of 2007 was attributable to
growth in each of our principal product lines, particularly within our extremity and biologics
businesses. Geographically, our domestic net sales totaled $58.6 million in the second quarter of
2007 and $54.1 million in the second quarter of 2006, representing 59.8% and 61.9% of total net
sales, respectively, and growth of 8%. Our international net sales totaled $39.4 million in the
second quarter of 2007 compared to $33.4 million in the second quarter of 2006. International sales
during the second quarter of 2007 include a favorable currency impact of $817,000, principally
resulting from the performance of the euro against the U.S. dollar as compared to the same period
of 2006. Our international net sales continue to be favorably impacted by our performance in Asia
and most European markets, offset by continued declines in France.
Our hip product net sales totaled $34.6 million during the second quarter of 2007, representing an
increase of 6% over prior year, primarily driven by growth in our Asian markets. This growth was
attributable to our PROFEMUR® line of primary stems featuring our innovative neck
modularity. Domestically, total hip sales remained relatively flat compared to the same period a
year ago, as modest increases in surgical procedures were offset by slight declines in the average
selling prices.
Our knee product net sales totaled $25.8 million in the second quarter of 2007, which was 7% higher
than the second quarter of 2006. We experienced growth within our domestic markets of 3% over prior
year, attributable to higher average selling prices. Internationally, we experienced 12% growth
over prior year, driven by increased sales in Asia and the majority of our European operations.
Net sales of our biologics products totaled $19.9 million in the second quarter of 2007, which
represents a 21% increase over prior year. In the U.S., biologics sales grew 14% over prior year,
due to increased sales of our GRAFTJACKET
® tissue repair and containment membranes as
well as growth within our bone repair business. In
13
our international markets, biologics sales increased 46% over prior year, which was primarily due
to the continued success of our European market expansion initiatives.
Our extremity product net sales increased to $14.7 million in the second quarter of 2007,
representing growth of 33% over the second quarter of 2006. The recent acquisitions of Darco and
R&R contributed to both domestic and international growth. In addition, during the quarter we
experienced continued success of our CHARLOTTE Foot and Ankle System.
Cost of Sales. Our cost of sales as a percentage of net sales decreased from 30.1% in the second
quarter of 2006 to 29.4% in the second quarter of 2007. This decrease is attributable to favorable
manufacturing variances and lower levels of excess and obsolete inventory provisions, which were
partially offset by unfavorable shifts in our geographic sales mix and higher levels of non-cash
stock-based compensation expense.
Our cost of sales and corresponding gross profit percentages can be expected to fluctuate in future
periods depending upon changes in our product sales mix and prices, distribution channels and
geographies, manufacturing yields, excess and obsolete inventory provisions, and other expenses and
levels of production volume.
Selling, General and Administrative. Our selling, general and administrative expenses as a
percentage of net sales totaled 57.5% in the second quarter 2007, a 2.2 percentage point increase
from 55.3% in the second quarter of 2006. Our selling, general and administrative expenses include
$2.9 million (3.0% of net sales) and $2.4 million (2.8% of net sales) of non-cash stock-based
compensation expense recognized in the second quarter of 2007 and 2006, respectively. The remaining
increase is primarily attributable to increased investments in sales and marketing initiatives,
increased depreciation, and increased provisions for uncollectible accounts receivable.
We anticipate that our selling, general and administrative expenses will increase in absolute
dollars to the extent that any additional growth in net sales results in increases in sales
commissions and royalty expense associated with those sales and requires us to expand our
infrastructure. Further, in the near term, we anticipate that these expenses may increase as a
percentage of net sales as we make strategic investments in order to grow our business, and as we
continue to integrate the Darco and R&R acquisitions into our business.
Research and Development. Our investment in research and development activities represented
approximately 7.0% of net sales in the second quarter of 2007, as compared to 7.4% of net sales in
the second quarter of 2006. Our research and development expenses include $336,000 (0.3% of net
sales) and $494,000 (0.6% of net sales) of non-cash stock-based compensation expense recognized in
the second quarter of 2007 and 2006, respectively. Our remaining investment in research and
development was relatively static as a percentage of net sales as compared to prior year, as our
investment increased in absolute dollars for higher levels of spending in product development,
while our business expanded at the same rate.
We anticipate that our research and development expenditures may increase as a percentage of net
sales and will increase in absolute dollars as we continue to increase our investment in product
development initiatives and clinical studies to support regulatory approvals and provide expanded
proof of the efficacy of our products.
Amortization of Intangible Assets. Charges associated with the amortization of intangible assets
decreased from $1.1 million in the second quarter of 2006 to $1.0 million in the second quarter of
2007. Based on the intangible assets held at June 30, 2007, we expect to recognize amortization
expense of approximately $3.8 million for the full year of 2007, $3.5 million in 2008, $3.1 million
in 2009, $800,000 in 2010, and $550,000 in 2011.
Restructuring Charges. As a result of our plans to close our facilities in Toulon, France, we have
estimated that we will record total pre-tax restructuring charges of approximately $20 million to
$25 million. During the second quarter of 2007, we recognized $7.5 million of restructuring
charges, primarily for the impairment of long-lived assets and legally required severance
obligations. We believe that the remaining $12 million to $17 million of restructuring charges will
likely be recorded in the second half of 2007; however the quarterly timing of those remaining
charges cannot yet be determined.
Interest Income, Net. Interest income, net, consists of interest expense of $182,000 and $389,000
during the second quarter of 2007 and 2006, respectively, primarily from borrowings under our
capital lease agreements, certain of our factoring agreements, and in 2006, our senior credit
facility, offset by interest income of $581,000 and $757,000 during the second quarter of 2007 and
2006, respectively, generated by our invested cash balances and investments in marketable
securities.
14
Provision for Income Taxes. We recorded a tax provision of $7,000 and $2.8 million in the second
quarter of 2007 and 2006, respectively. During the second quarter of 2006, our effective tax rate
was 51%. The effective tax rate in the second quarter of 2007 included a 47 percentage point impact
due to the discrete tax effect of the restructuring charges. The effective tax rate includes 10 and
11 percentage points for the second quarter of 2007 and 2006, respectively, for non-cash
stock-based compensation expense, as a significant portion of the expenses recognized may not be
deductible under U.S. and foreign tax regulations and therefore do not benefit our current period
tax provision.
We expect our effective tax rate for the full year 2007 to be in the range of 47% to 50%, before
the impact of any additional restructuring charges. This estimated effective tax rate is higher
than our 2006 effective tax rate as a result of the $1.1 million benefit that was realized upon the
favorable resolution of certain foreign tax matters in the fourth quarter of 2006, as well as the
impact of the restructuring charges recorded in the second quarter of 2007.

|
Net Sales. Net sales totaled $192.3 million during the first half of 2007, representing an 11%
increase over prior year. Net sales in 2007 include a favorable currency impact of $2.4 million.
The increase in net sales is attributable to growth in each of our principal product lines.
In the first half of 2007, domestic net sales grew 7% to $114.7 million, or 59.7% of total net
sales. International sales totaled $77.6 million, including the aforementioned favorable currency
impact of $2.4 million, representing an increase of 17%.
Cost of Sales. Our cost of sales as a percentage of net sales increased slightly from 28.6% in the
first half of 2006 to 29.0% in the first half of 2007. This increase is attributable to higher
levels of non-cash stock-based compensation expense and unfavorable shifts in geographic sales mix,
which were mostly offset by favorable manufacturing variances and lower levels of excess and
obsolete inventory provisions.
Operating Expenses. As a percentage of net sales, our operating expenses increased by 4.4
percentage points to 70.0% in the first half of 2007, as compared to 65.6% in the first half of
2006. The year-over-year increase in operating expenses is mostly due to the $7.5 million (3.9% of
net sales) of restructuring charges recorded in the first half of 2007. Increased spending on sales
and marketing initiatives, as well as increased depreciation expense, further contributed to this
increase.
Provision for Income Taxes. We recorded tax provisions of $1.9 million and $5.5 million in the
first half of 2007 and 2006, respectively. The difference is primarily due to the impact of the
restructuring charges recorded in the second quarter of 2007.
16
Seasonal Nature of Business
We traditionally experience lower sales volumes in the third quarter than throughout the rest of
the year as a result of the European holiday schedule, typically resulting in selling, general and
administrative expenses and research and development expenses as a percentage of sales that are
higher than throughout the rest of the year. In addition, our first quarter selling, general and
administrative expenses include additional expenses that we incur in connection with the annual
meeting held by the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons. This meeting, which is the largest
orthopaedic meeting in the world, features the presentation of scientific papers and instructional
courses for orthopaedic surgeons. During this 3-day event, we display our most recent and
innovative products for these surgeons.
Financial Condition
Effective January 1, 2007, we adopted FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in
Income Taxes An Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, (FIN 48). FIN 48 clarifies the
accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in a companys financial statements in
accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, by defining the criterion that
an individual tax position must meet in order to be recognized in the financial statements. FIN 48
requires that the tax effects of a position be recognized only if it is more-likely-than-not to
be sustained based solely on the technical merits as of the reporting date. Upon adoption of FIN
48, we recorded a $7.2 million reduction to our liability for unrecognized tax benefits as an
adjustment to the 2007 opening balance of retained earnings.
As of January 1, 2007, our liability for unrecognized tax benefits totaled approximately $5.5
million, of which approximately $400,000 was recognized as an income tax benefit during the three
months ended March 31, 2007, upon the effective settlement of a tax examination. As of June 30,
2007, we have recorded $5.3 million of unrecognized tax benefits, which are recorded on our
condensed consolidated balance sheet within Other liabilities.
Restructuring
In June 2007, we announced our plans to close our facilities in Toulon, France. This announcement
comes after a thorough evaluation in which it was determined that we had excess manufacturing
capacity and redundant distribution and administrative resources that would be best eliminated
through the closure of this facility.
We have entered into negotiations regarding the closure of the facilities with the local staff
representatives and expect the closure to be completed by the end of the year. We have estimated
that total pre-tax restructuring charges will be approximately $20 million to $25 million. We
recognized $7.5 million of those charges during the second quarter of 2007, and we expect that the
remainder of those charges will likely be recognized during the second half of 2007. We believe
that we will see the benefits from this restructuring within selling, general and administrative
expenses beginning in 2008 and within cost of sales beginning in 2009.

Our cash and cash equivalents decreased during the first half of 2007 by $18.4 million, which was
primarily attributable to the acquisitions of Darco and R&R. Cash and cash equivalents increased by
$2.1 million in the first half of 2006 due to the generation of $19.8 million of cash from
operating activities, partially offset by routine capital expenditures and $3.8 million payment of
the remaining debt outstanding.
Operating Activities. Cash provided by operating activities was $16.1 million for the first half of
2007, as compared to $19.8 million for the first half of 2006. The decrease in operating cash
during the first half of 2007 is primarily attributable to changes in working capital. Our
inventories balance has increased due to safety stock that was built in
connection with the announcement of our plans to close our Toulon, France manufacturing facilities
and inventory
17
built in preparation for upcoming product launches. The increase of our accounts
receivable balance is attributable to higher levels of sales in international markets that
typically have longer collection terms. These increases were mostly offset by a decrease in our
investment in marketable securities, as a portion of the invested balance was used to pay for our
recent acquisitions, and an increase in our accrued expenses, primarily due to liabilities recorded
associated with our restructuring charges.
Investing Activities. Our cash used by investing opportunities totaled $42.2 million and $14.4
million in the first half of 2007 and 2006, respectively. The increase is primarily due to our
acquisitions of Darco and R&R, which totaled $25.2 million. Our industry is capital intensive,
particularly as it relates to surgical instrumentation. Historically, our capital expenditures have
consisted of purchased manufacturing equipment, research and testing equipment, computer systems,
office furniture and equipment, and surgical instruments. We expect to incur capital expenditures
of approximately $35 million in total for 2007 for routine capital expenditures, as well as
approximately $8 million for the planned expansion of facilities in Arlington, Tennessee.
Financing Activities. During the first half of 2007, we made $607,000 in payments related to
long-term capital leases. In addition, our operating subsidiary in Italy continues to factor
portions of its accounts receivable balances under factoring agreements, which are considered
financing transactions for financial reporting. The cash proceeds received from these factoring
agreements, net of the amount of factored receivables collected, are reflected as cash flows from
financing activities in our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. The proceeds received
under these agreements during the first half of 2007 and 2006 totaled approximately $2.6 million
and $3.4 million, respectively. These proceeds were offset by payments for factored receivables
collected of approximately $4.2 million and $3.3 million in the first half of 2007 and 2006,
respectively. We recorded obligations of $2.4 million and $3.9 million for the amount of
receivables factored under these agreements within Accrued expenses and other liabilities in our
condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively.
On June 30, 2007, our revolving credit facility had availability of $97.1 million, which can
be increased by up to an additional $50 million at our request and subject to the agreement of the
lenders. We currently have no borrowings outstanding under the credit facility. Borrowings under
the credit facility will bear interest at the sum of a base annual rate plus an applicable annual
rate that ranges from 1.125% to 4.55% depending on the type of loan and our consolidated leverage
ratio, with a current annual base rate of 8.25%.
Contractual Cash Obligations. Our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006,
contains a table that summarizes our known obligations to make future payments pursuant to certain
contracts as of December 31, 2006. As of June 30, 2007, our total liability for unrecognized tax
benefits totaled $5.3 million, which are recorded on our condensed consolidated balance sheet
within Other liabilities. We are not able to reasonably estimate the timing of future cash flows
related to this liability. See Note 8 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for
further discussion of this liability.
Other Liquidity Information. We have funded our cash needs since 2000 through various equity and
debt issuances and through cash flow from operations.
Although it is difficult for us to predict our future liquidity requirements, we believe that
our current cash balance of $39.6 million, our marketable securities balance of $17.4 million, our
existing available credit line of $97.1 million, and our expected cash flow from our 2007
operations will be sufficient for the foreseeable future to fund our working capital requirements
and operations, permit anticipated capital expenditures in 2007 of $43 million, permit cash
expenses related to our restructuring, and meet our contractual cash obligations in 2007.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
All of our significant accounting policies and estimates are described in Note 2 to our
consolidated financial statements contained in Item 8 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
year ended December 31, 2006. Certain of our more critical accounting estimates require the
application of significant judgment by management in selecting the appropriate assumptions in
determining the estimate. By their nature, these judgments are subject to an inherent degree of
uncertainty. We develop these judgments based on our historical experience, terms of existing
contracts, our observance of trends in the industry, information provided by our customers, and
information available from other outside sources, as appropriate. Different, reasonable estimates
could have been used for the current period. Additionally, changes in accounting estimates are
reasonably likely to occur from period to period.
During the second quarter of 2007, we announced the acquisitions of Darco and R&R. Additionally, we
announced our plans to close our facilities in Toulon, France. We believe that accounting for
acquisitions and restructurings
18
require subjective and complex judgments. Further, we believe that
the acquisitions and restructuring charges are properly recorded in our financial statements for
all periods presented. Our management has discussed the development, selection, and disclosure of
our most critical financial estimates with respect to the acquisitions and restructuring with the
audit committee of our Board of Directors and with our independent auditors.
Purchase Accounting. We account for acquired businesses using the purchase method of accounting
which requires that the assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recorded at the date of
acquisition at their respective fair values. Our consolidated financial statements and results of
operations reflect an acquired business after the completion of the acquisition. The cost to
acquire a business, including transaction costs, is allocated to the underlying net assets of the
acquired business in proportion to their respective fair values. Any excess of the purchase price
over the estimated fair values of the net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. To
assist in determining the value of any intangible assets, a third party valuation is typically
obtained as of the acquisition date.
The amount of the purchase price allocated to intangible assets is determined by estimating the
future cash flows associated with the asset and discounting the net cash flows back to their
present values. The discount rate used is determined at the time of the acquisition in accordance
with standard valuation methods. The estimates of future cash flows include forecasted revenues,
which are inherently difficult to predict. Significant judgments and assumptions are required in
the forecast of future operating results used in the preparation of the estimated future cash
flows, including profit margins, long-term forecasts of the amounts and timing of overall market
growth and our percentage of that market, discount rates and terminal growth rates.
Restructuring Charges. We record severance-related expenses once they are both probable and
estimable in accordance with the provisions of FAS No. 112, Employers Accounting for
Post-Employment Benefits, for severance provided under an ongoing benefit arrangement. One-time
benefit arrangements and disposal costs are accounted for under the provisions of FAS No. 146,
Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities. We evaluate impairment issues for
long-lived assets under the provisions of FAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of
Long-Lived Assets. We have estimated the expense for restructuring initiatives by accumulating
detailed estimates of costs, including the estimated costs of employee severance and related
benefits, impairment of property, plant and equipment, contract termination payments for leases,
and any other qualifying exit costs. Such costs represent managements best estimates, which are
evaluated periodically to determine if an adjustment is required.
Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value
Measurements (FAS 157). This Standard defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring
fair value in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures
about fair value measurements. FAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal
years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption
of FAS 157 is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial position,
results of operations or cash flows.
19
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk
Fluctuations in the rate of exchange between the U.S. dollar and foreign currencies could adversely
affect our financial results. Approximately 30% of our total net sales were denominated in foreign
currencies during both the six months ended June 30, 2007, and the year ended December 31, 2006,
and we expect that foreign currencies will continue to represent a similarly significant percentage
of our net sales in the future. Costs related to these sales are largely denominated in the same
respective currencies, thereby limiting our transaction risk exposures. However, for sales not
denominated in U.S. dollars, if there is an increase in the rate at which a foreign currency is
exchanged for U.S. dollars, it will require more of the foreign currency to equal a specified
amount of U.S. dollars than before the rate increase. In such cases, if we price our products in
the foreign currency, we will receive less in U.S. dollars than we did before the rate increase
went into effect. If we price our products in U.S. dollars and our competitors price their products
in local currency, an increase in the relative strength of the U.S. dollar could result in our
prices not being competitive in a market where business is transacted in the local currency.
A substantial majority of our sales denominated in foreign currencies are derived from European
Union countries and are denominated in the euro. Additionally, we have significant intercompany
receivables from our foreign subsidiaries that are denominated in foreign currencies, principally
the euro and the Japanese yen. Our principal exchange rate risk therefore exists between the U.S.
dollar and the euro and between the U.S. dollar and the yen. Fluctuations from the beginning to the
end of any given reporting period result in the revaluation of our foreign currency-denominated
intercompany receivables and payables, generating currency translation gains or losses that impact
our non-operating income/expense levels in the respective period.
As discussed in Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements set forth in our Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006, we enter into certain short-term derivative
financial instruments in the form of foreign currency forward contracts. These forward contracts
are designed to mitigate our exposure to currency fluctuations in our intercompany balances
denominated in euros, Japanese yen, British pounds and Canadian dollars. Any change in the fair
value of these forward contracts as a result of a fluctuation in a currency exchange rate is
expected to be offset by a change in the value of the intercompany balance.
20
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We have established disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e)
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to
ensure that material information relating to us, including our consolidated subsidiaries, is made
known to our principal executive officer and principal financial officer by others within our
organization. Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our
principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the
effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2007. Based on this
evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our
disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2007, to ensure that the
information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time
periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commissions rules and forms.
Change in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
During the three months ended March 31, 2007, we implemented controls that were designed to
remediate the material weakness in internal control over financial reporting that we reported in
our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006. Accordingly, under the
supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer
and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of this change in internal control over
financial reporting. Based on this evaluation, we believe that we have remediated the material
weakness.

PART II OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
As of the date of this filing, there have been no additional material legal proceedings or material
developments in the legal proceedings disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 2006.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.
The risk factor presented below updates, and should be considered in addition to, the risk
factors previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
2006:
Recent acquisitions and efforts to acquire and integrate other companies or product lines could
adversely affect our operations and financial results.
In April 2007, we announced the completion of the acquisition of the foot and ankle reconstruction
assets of Darco International, Inc. and the external fixation assets of R&R Medical, Inc. We may
pursue acquisitions of other companies or product lines. Our ability to grow through acquisitions
depends upon our ability to identify, negotiate, complete and integrate suitable acquisitions and
to obtain any necessary financing. With respect to the acquisitions completed or other future
acquisitions, we may also experience:
|
|
difficulties in integrating any acquired companies, personnel and products into our existing business; |
|
|
delays in realizing the benefits of the acquired company or products; |
|
|
diversion of our managements time and attention from other business concerns; |
|
|
limited or no direct prior experience in new markets or countries we may enter; |
|
|
higher costs of integration than we anticipated; or |
|
|
difficulties in retaining key employees of the acquired business who are necessary to manage these acquisitions. |
In addition, any future acquisitions could materially impair our operating results by causing us to
incur debt or requiring us to amortize acquisition expenses and acquired assets.
