Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On April 12, 2011, the Company issued a press release with respect to results for the third fiscal quarter of fiscal 2011. The press release attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 is incorporated by reference herein.

The earnings release attached as Exhibit 99.1 includes non-GAAP financial measures that differ from financial measures calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). These non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similar measures reported by other companies and should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, other measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. Management exercises judgment in determining which types of charges or other items should be excluded from non-GAAP measures. Management uses this non-GAAP information internally to evaluate the performance of the core operations, establish operational goals and forecasts that are used in allocating resources and to evaluate the Company’s performance period over period. Additionally, Biomet’s management is evaluated on the basis of some of these non-GAAP financial measures when determining achievement of their incentive compensation performance targets. The Company believes that its disclosure of these non-GAAP financial measures provides investors greater transparency to the information used by Biomet management for its financial and operational decision-making and enables investors to better understand the Company’s period-to-period operating performance.

The non-GAAP financial measures included in the press release consist of net sales excluding the impact of foreign currency (constant currency), operating income as adjusted, Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA), EBITDA as adjusted (as defined by our credit agreement, the method to calculate this is likely to be different from methods used by other companies), net loss 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 (net debt), free cash flow, and unlevered 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 “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 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 private equity owners, certain severance charges, purchase accounting costs, stock-based compensation and payments, litigation costs, and other related charges.

The leverage ratios provide a measure of the Company’s financial ability to meet its debt service obligations. The Company believes these ratios provide valuable insight to understanding how Biomet management manages its operations and financial position with respect to its debt obligations.

The following is an explanation of each of the items, as permitted by our credit agreement that management excluded from one or more of the non-GAAP financial measures used in this press release and the reasons for excluding each of these items:

Impact of Foreign Currency. The Company excludes the foreign currency impact on net sales information compared to prior year results primarily because it is not reflective of the ongoing operating results and is not used by management in evaluation of net sales performance. The Company further believes this information is useful to investors in that it provides period over period comparability. The impact of foreign currency exchange rates is calculated by translating actual current period net sales at the prior year exchange rate. These results are used to determine year-over-year percentage increase or decrease that excludes the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

Purchase Accounting Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization related to the Merger are excluded in non-GAAP measures as they are not reflective of the Company’s ongoing operational performance or liquidity. The Company further believes the exclusion of this information in the applicable non-GAAP financial measure is useful to investors in that it provides period over period comparability.

Stock-Based Compensation Expense. Stock-based compensation expense is excluded from non-GAAP measures primarily because it is a non-cash expense. The Company further believes that excluding this item is useful to investors in that it facilitates comparisons to competitors’ operating results.

Litigation Settlements and Reserves and Other Legal Fees. The Company excludes litigation related expenses from non-GAAP measures that are not reflective of the Company’s ongoing operational performance. The Company further believes this information is useful to investors in that it provides period over period comparability.

Operational Restructuring and Consulting Expenses Related to Operational Improvement Initiatives. Restructuring charges relate principally to employee severance and facility consolidation costs resulting from the closure of facilities and other workforce reductions attributable to our efforts to reduce costs. Operational restructuring charges also include abnormal manufacturing variances related to temporary redundant overhead costs within the Company’s plant network as the Company


continues to rationalize and move production to its larger operating locations in order to increase manufacturing efficiency. The Company excludes these costs from non-GAAP measures primarily because they are not reflective of the ongoing operating results and they are not used by management to assess ongoing operational performance. The Company further believes the exclusion of this information in the applicable non-GAAP financial measure is useful to investors in that it provides period over period comparability.

Sponsor Fee. Upon completion of the Merger, the Company entered into a management services agreement with certain affiliates of the Sponsors, pursuant to which such affiliates of the Sponsors or their successors assigns, affiliates, officers, employees, and/or representatives and third parties (collectively, the “Managers”) provide management, advisory, and consulting services to the Company. Pursuant to such agreement, the Managers received a transaction fee equal to 1% of total enterprise value of the Transactions for the services rendered by such entities related to the Transactions upon entering into the agreement, and the Sponsors receive an annual monitoring fee equal to 1% of the Company’s annual Adjusted EBITDA (as defined in our credit agreement) as compensation for the services rendered and reimbursement for out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Managers in connection with the agreement and the Transactions. The Company excludes these costs from non-GAAP measures primarily because they are not reflective of the ongoing operating results and they are not used by management to assess ongoing operational performance. The Company further believes the exclusion of this information in the applicable non-GAAP financial measure is useful to investors in that it provides period over period comparability.

The following is an explanation of each of the other items that management excluded from one or more of the non-GAAP financial measures used in this press release and the reasons for excluding each of these items:

Tax Effect on Special and Purchase Accounting Items. This amount is used to present the impact of the above non-GAAP adjustments on net income, as adjusted.

Net Debt. Net debt is the sum of the Company’s total debt less cash and cash equivalents and time deposits with maturities of less than two years. Net Debt is a measure defined in the credit agreement that is used to calculate the total leverage ratio.

The Company is furnishing the information contained in this report, including the Exhibit, pursuant to Item 2.02 of Form 8-K promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). This information shall not be deemed to be “filed” with the SEC or incorporated by reference into any other filing with the SEC.

Third Quarter Financial Results

Net sales increased 1% during the third quarter of fiscal year 2011 to $678.0 million compared to net sales of $669.8 million during the third quarter of fiscal year 2010. Excluding the effect of foreign currency, net sales increased 2% during the third quarter. U.S. net sales were flat at $412.4 million during the third quarter, while Europe net sales decreased 4% (flat at constant currency) to $173.0 million and International (primarily Canada, South America, Mexico and the Pacific Rim) net sales increased 21% (14% constant currency) to $92.6 million.

Special items (pre-tax) for the third quarter totaled $117.9 million, including $95.7 million of non-cash amortization and depreciation expense related to the Merger and $22.2 million of non-Merger related special items.

Reported operating income during the third quarter of fiscal year 2011 was $94.9 million compared to operating income of $100.1 million during the third quarter of fiscal year 2010. Excluding special items in both periods, adjusted operating income totaled $212.8 million during the third fiscal quarter compared to adjusted operating income of $210.1 million in the same period of the prior fiscal year.

Reported net loss during the third quarter of fiscal year 2011 was $11.6 million compared to a net loss of $3.1 million during the third quarter of fiscal year 2010. Excluding special items in both periods, adjusted net income was $63.8 million during the third fiscal quarter, compared to $67.3 million during the third quarter of fiscal year 2010.

Excluding special items, adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) was $258.4 million, or 38.1% of net sales during the third quarter of fiscal year 2011, compared to adjusted EBITDA of $250.7 million, or 37.4% of net sales during the third quarter of the prior fiscal year.

Interest expense during the third quarter totaled $124.0 million compared to $128.0 million during the third quarter of fiscal year 2010, principally due to lower interest rates on floating rate debt.

Reported cash flow from operations during the third quarter totaled $151.8 million. Free cash flow (operating cash flow of $151.8 million minus capital expenditures of $45.1 million) was $106.7 million, which reflected $53.6 million of cash interest paid in the quarter.

Reported gross debt was $5.985 billion and cash and cash equivalents, as defined in the Company’s Credit Agreement dated September 25, 2007, totaled $332 million, resulting in net debt of $5.653 billion as of February 28, 2011. From May 31, 2008, the first fiscal year-end after the Merger, to February 28, 2011, net debt decreased by $521 million due to an increase in cash and cash equivalents, as defined by our credit agreement, of $205 million and a $316 million reduction of gross debt. The reduction of gross debt includes a $154 million decrease due to favorable foreign currency translation on the Company’s euro-denominated debt.

Biomet’s senior secured leverage ratio as of February 28, 2011 was 3.42 times the last twelve months (“LTM”) adjusted EBITDA, as defined by our credit agreement, compared to 4.16 times at May 31, 2008. The net debt leverage ratio was 5.64 times LTM adjusted EBITDA at February 28, 2011, compared to 6.97 times as of May 31, 2008.


Biomet’s President and Chief Executive Officer Jeffrey R. Binder stated, “Net sales increased 2% on a constant currency basis during our fiscal third quarter, but core orthopaedic reconstructive sales were flat. While we believe that the hip and knee market continued to remain sluggish during the quarter, with continued pressure on both volume and price, we did not meet our goal of sustainable above-market growth. Our focus is on improving our execution in new product introductions, and selling and marketing effectiveness so that we can regain the momentum that we have built over the past four years. On a positive note, we cleared our Warning Letter related to the Signature™ system* during the quarter and have resumed marketing that system. We have also launched two important new hip systems, the Arcos® Modular Femoral Revision System and our Active Articulation™ E1® Dual Mobility Hip System, both with excellent feedback from the market.”

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

Reconstructive sales increased 1% (1% constant currency) worldwide during the third quarter of fiscal year 2011 and decreased 1% in the United States. Knee sales decreased 2% (decreased 1% constant currency) worldwide during the third quarter and decreased 5% in the U.S. Hip sales were flat (flat at constant currency) worldwide during the third quarter and were flat in the U.S.

Extremity sales increased 18% (18% constant currency) worldwide during the quarter, with 25% growth in the U.S. The Comprehensive® Primary and Reverse Shoulder Systems continued to drive strong growth for the extremity product category during the third quarter.

Dental sales increased 5% worldwide (6% constant currency) and increased at a rate of 4% in the U.S. during the third quarter. The Biomet 3i dental business is benefiting from new product and technology introductions and a market that appears to be showing some signs of recovery.

Fixation sales decreased 1% (decreased 1% constant currency) worldwide during the third quarter and decreased 2% in the U.S. During the third quarter, increased craniomaxillofacial fixation sales were offset by decreased sales of external fixation and electrical stimulation devices, while internal fixation sales were flat.

Spine sales increased 1% (1% constant currency) worldwide during the third quarter and decreased 1% in the U.S. Sales growth of spine hardware and orthobiologics was impacted by decreased sales of spinal stimulation devices during the third quarter.

Sales of “other” products increased 13% (increased 14% constant currency) worldwide during the third quarter and increased 11% in the U.S. Sports medicine sales grew 20% (21% constant currency) worldwide and increased 16% in the U.S. during the quarter, while sales of softgoods and bracing products decreased. Strong demand for procedure-specific devices, including the JuggerKnot™ Soft Anchor, the ToggleLoc™ Femoral Fixation Device with ZipLoop™ Technology and the Maxfire™ MarXmen™ Meniscal Repair Device continued to fuel sports medicine sales growth during the third quarter.

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 ongoing investigations by the United States Department of Justice and the United States Securities and Exchange Commission; 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 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 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; 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. There can be no assurance as to the accuracy of forward-looking statements contained in this press release. 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. The Company undertakes no obligation to update publicly or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. 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), EBITDA as adjusted (as defined by our credit agreement, the method to calculate this is likely to be different from methods used by other companies), net loss 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 (net debt), free cash flow, and unlevered 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 “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 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 private equity owners, certain severance charges, purchase accounting costs, stock-based compensation and payments, litigation costs, and other related charges.

These non-GAAP measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative for, generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. Biomet management believes that these non-GAAP 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.
