EXPLANATORY NOTE

Orthofix International N.V. (together with its respective consolidated subsidiaries and affiliates, the “Company,” sometimes referred to as “we”, “us” or “our”) is filing this amendment (this “Amendment” or “Form 10-Q/A”) to its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2013, originally filed on May 9, 2013 (the “Original Form 10-Q”) to reflect the restatement of its condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the fiscal quarters ended March 31, 2013 and March 31, 2012, and related disclosures described below. Concurrently with the filing of this Amendment, we are also filing an amendment to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, originally filed on March 1, 2013 (the “2012 Form 10-K/A”) to reflect, among other things, the restatement of our consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, and related disclosures described below. The restatement reflected in this Amendment and the 2012 Form 10-K/A corrects errors principally related to our accounting for revenue recognition for sales to distributors, our accounting for inventory reserves and our accounting for royalties. This Amendment also amends certain other information in the Original Form 10-Q as listed in “Items Amended by this Filing” below, as a result of the restatement of our financial statements.

Background of Restatement

In July 2013, members of the Company’s senior management brought certain information to the attention of the chair of the Audit Committee (“Audit Committee”) of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) that raised questions regarding whether the Company had properly recognized revenue under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in connection with revenue from distributor sales that had been recorded in 2012 and 2011, including a significant return processed in the second quarter of 2013 relating to revenue recognized in 2012. On the recommendation of management and after discussion with the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, Ernst & Young LLP (“Ernst & Young”), the Audit Committee concluded, with the concurrence of the Board, that it would commence an independent review into these matters with the assistance of outside professionals engaged by the Audit Committee (the “Independent Review”).

On August 5, 2013, the Audit Committee concluded, after consultation with management and Ernst & Young, that certain revenues recognized during 2012 and 2011 should not have been recognized or should not have been recognized during the periods in which they were recognized. As a result of the foregoing, on August 5, 2013, the Audit Committee concluded, after consultation with management and Ernst & Young, that the Company’s previously issued consolidated financial statements as of and for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 (as well as the interim quarterly periods within such years), as well as for the interim quarterly period ended March 31, 2013, should no longer be relied upon (the “Non-Reliance Period”). On August 6, 2013, the Board ratified the foregoing conclusion by the Audit Committee.

The Independent Review focused on the periods between January 1, 2010 and March 31, 2013 and included (i) over 50 witness interviews, (ii) collection of emails and files from 70 document custodians, and (iii) quantitative analysis. The scope of the Independent Review, which was determined by the Audit Committee in consultation with outside professionals engaged by the Audit Committee, focused primarily on revenue recognition related to distributor arrangements and inventory reserve adjustments. In conjunction with the Independent Review, management concluded that errors existed in the Company’s previously issued financial statements with respect to the Non-Reliance Period, as well as in the Company’s previously issued consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010. There were also similar types of errors identified as affecting the Company’s previously issued consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007, for which the Company included restated consolidated financial information for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 in the “Selected Financial Data” table of the 2012 Form 10-K/A. Adjustments prior to January 1, 2010 were recognized as a cumulative adjustment to beginning retained earnings in the consolidated statements of changes in shareholders’ equity included in the consolidated financial statements included in Item 8 of the 2012 Form 10-K/A.

In reaching these conclusions, the Company considered information obtained in the Independent Review, including emails, data and interviews with current and former employees that indicated (i) the existence of extra-contractual terms or arrangements at the onset of the sale and concessions agreed to subsequent to the initial sale (such as extended payment terms, and return and exchange rights for sales to distributors with respect to certain transactions), including some with which certain senior-level personnel were involved, (ii) that at the time of some sales collection was not reasonably assured, and (iii) that certain amounts previously characterized as commissions were paid to related parties of the applicable customer.

The Company assessed the information derived from the Independent Review in making determinations with respect to accounting adjustments reflected in the restated consolidated financial statements contained in this Form 10-Q/A and in the 2012 Form 10-K/A, and such determinations are consistent with the findings of the Independent Review. In addition to the matters that were the subject of the Independent Review, certain other adjustments identified by management, including revisions to inventory reserves and royalties, were made to the consolidated financial statements in connection with the restatement.

Items Amended by this Filing

This Amendment reflects the results of the work described above and includes the restatement of our consolidated financial statements for the fiscal quarters ended March 31, 2013 and March 31, 2012. For the convenience of the reader, this Amendment sets forth the Original Form 10-Q, as modified and superseded where necessary to reflect the restatement and other related adjustments. Specifically, the following items included in the Original Form 10-Q are amended by this Amendment:

 

    Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements (see Note 2)

 

    Part I, Item 2, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

    Part I, Item 4, Controls and Procedures

 

    Part II, Item 1, Legal Proceedings

 

    Part II, Item 1A, Risk Factors

 

    Part II, Item 6, Exhibits

The correction of the errors described above is further discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q/A and in Part I, Item 2, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”

Other than this Amendment and the 2012 Form 10-K/A, we do not intend to file any other amended Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q or Annual Reports on Form 10-K for periods affected by the restatement and/or adjustments, and the financial statements, related financial information, and internal controls disclosures and assessments contained in other reports for those periods should no longer be relied upon. All of our future Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Annual Reports on Form 10-K will reflect the restated information included in this Amendment and the 2012 Form 10-K/A, as applicable.

The Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer of the Company have also reissued as part of this Amendment the certifications required by Sections 302 and 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. The reissued certifications are included in this Amendment as Exhibits 31.1, 31.2, 32.1 and 32.2.

As noted above, for ease of reference, this Amendment sets forth the Original Form 10-Q in its entirety, as updated to reflect the effects of the restatement and other related adjustments, internal control matters, and as otherwise specifically indicated (including in relation to legal proceedings). However, this Amendment does not reflect events that have occurred after May 9, 2013, the filing date of the Original Form 10-Q, or modify or update the disclosures presented in the Original Form 10-Q, except to reflect the effects of the restatement or as otherwise noted. Accordingly, this Amendment should be read in conjunction with (i) the Company’s Current Reports on Form 8-K filed with the Commission since April 1, 2013, (ii) the 2012 Form 10-K/A and the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2013, each of which are being filed contemporaneously with this Amendment, and (iii) the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2013, which we expect to file on the date immediately following the date hereof. We also currently expect to file our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 by March 31, 2014.

Internal Control Considerations

In connection with the restatement and the Audit Committee’s review, management has re-evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2012 and the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2012 based on the framework in “Internal Control-Integrated Framework (1992 Framework)” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on such re-evaluation, management has determined that the Company had material weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2012 related to revenue recognition practices for sales to the Company’s distributors, inventory reserves and foreign subsidiary oversight, and that these material weaknesses also existed as of March 31, 2013. As a result, management has determined that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting were not effective as of December 31, 2012 and March 31, 2013.

For a discussion of management’s consideration of our disclosure controls and procedures and the material weaknesses identified in our internal control over financial reporting, see Part I, Item 4 of this Form 10-Q/A, as well as Part II, Item 9A, “Controls and Procedures” of the 2012 Form 10-K/A.

ORTHOFIX INTERNATIONAL N.V.

Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

1. Summary of significant accounting policies

(a) Basis of presentation

The accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S.”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Pursuant to these rules and regulations, certain information and note disclosures, normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S., have been condensed or omitted. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring items) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2013. The balance sheet at December 31, 2012 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date, but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. for complete financial statements. For further information, refer to the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto of the 2012 Form 10-K/A. The notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are presented on a continuing operations basis unless otherwise noted.

(b) Reclassifications

The Company has reclassified certain line items to conform to the current year presentation. The reclassifications have no effect on previously reported net income or shareholders’ equity.

(c) Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates including those related to the resolution of U.S. government matters, contractual allowances, doubtful accounts, inventories, taxes, shared-based compensation, and potential goodwill and intangible asset impairment. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

(d) Foreign Currency Translation

The financial statements for operations outside the United States are generally maintained in their local currency. All foreign currency denominated balance sheet accounts, except shareholders’ equity, are translated to U.S. dollars at year end exchange rates and revenue and expense items are translated at weighted average rates of exchange prevailing during the year. Gains and losses resulting from the translation of foreign currency are recorded in the accumulated other comprehensive income component of shareholders’ equity.

2. Restatement of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Background

In July 2013, the Audit Committee (the “Audit Committee”) of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) commenced an independent review with the assistance of outside professionals into whether the Company had properly recognized revenue under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in connection with certain revenue that had been recorded in 2012 and 2011 (the “Independent Review”). In conjunction with the Independent Review, the Company concluded that material errors existed in the previously issued financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010 (as well as the interim quarterly periods within such years), as well as for the interim quarterly period ended March 31, 2013. In addition, the Company has identified and corrected errors occurring prior to January 1, 2010 by recognizing a cumulative adjustment to beginning retained earnings in the consolidated statements of changes in shareholders’ equity included in the consolidated financial statements filed with the 2012 Form 10-K/A.

In reaching these conclusions, the Company considered information obtained in the Independent Review, including emails, data and interviews with current and former employees that indicated (i) the existence of extra-contractual terms or arrangements at the onset of the sale and concessions agreed to subsequent to the initial sale, such as extended payment terms, and return and exchange rights for sales to distributors with respect to certain transactions, (ii) that at the time of some sales collection was not reasonably assured, and (iii) that certain amounts previously characterized as commissions were paid to related parties of the applicable customer.

The Company assessed the information derived from the Independent Review in making determinations with respect to accounting adjustments reflected in the restated consolidated financial statements contained in this Form 10-Q/A and in the 2012 Form 10-K/A, and such determinations are consistent with the findings of the Independent Review. In addition to the matters that were the subject of the Independent Review, certain other adjustments identified by management, including revisions to inventory reserves and royalties, were made to the consolidated financial statements in connection with the restatement.

The correction of these errors had the following impact for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and March 31, 2012: increased net sales by $3.1 million and decreased net sales by $7.1 million, respectively; and increased net income from continuing operations by $2.7 million and decreased net income from continuing operations by $3.6 million, respectively. The following include descriptions of the significant adjustments to the Company’s financial position and results of operations from the previously reported consolidated financial statements.

Distributor Revenue Recognition

The Company has determined that it previously recognized revenue with respect to certain distributor relationships before all revenue recognition criteria were met. Specifically, the Company has determined that a fixed or determinable sales price did not exist, and/or collection was not reasonably assured, with respect to certain transactions where revenue had previously been recognized at the time of shipment. Specifically, the Company’s review revealed arrangements, or extra-contractual terms, with certain of the Company’s distributors regarding extended payment terms, return or exchange rights, and contingent payment obligations for sales to such distributors with respect to certain transactions. There were also concessions being made subsequent to the shipment of inventory to the distributors and the related revenue recognition. Based on the results of this review, it was determined that these arrangements were not appropriately evaluated under the appropriate revenue recognition criteria applicable under GAAP.

The Company previously recognized distributor revenue as title and risk of loss passed at either shipment from the Company’s facilities or receipt at the distributor’s facility, assuming all other revenue recognition criteria had been achieved (the “sell-in method”). Based on review of all facts and circumstances related to the arrangements described above, the Company determined that in many instances the revenue recognition criteria under the sell-in method were not satisfied at the time of shipment or receipt; specifically, the existence of extra-contractual terms or arrangements caused the Company not to meet the fixed or determinable criteria for revenue recognition in some cases, and in others collectability had not been established. In situations where the Company is unable to reasonably estimate the effects of these extra-contractual terms, it is precluded from recognizing revenue relating to distributor arrangements until the product is delivered to the end customer. This method is commonly referred to as the “sell-through” revenue recognition method because the vendor does not recognize revenue until the transaction consideration is fixed or determinable, which coincides with the selling of the product through the distribution channel to the end customer. Because the Company does not have reliable information about when its distributors sell the product through to end customers, the Company will use cash collection from distributors as a basis for revenue recognition under the sell-through method. Although in many cases the Company is legally entitled to the accounts receivable at the time of shipment, since the revenue recognition criteria has not been met, the Company has not recognized accounts receivables or any corresponding deferred revenues associated with these transactions.

As part of the review, the Company also considered the accounting treatment for the related cost of sales when distributor revenue is recognized on a sell-through basis. Previously, cost of sales were recognized upon shipment; however, the Company believes the matching of the recognition of costs of sales with revenue is preferred and therefore considered if such costs should be deferred until revenue is recognized on a sell-through basis. In making this assessment, the Company considered the financial viability of its distributors based on their creditworthiness to determine if collectability of amounts sufficient to realize the costs of the products shipped was reasonably assured at the time of shipment to these distributors. In instances where the distributor was determined to be financially viable, the Company determined that costs of sales should be deferred until the revenue is recognized. For those distributors where the Company has concluded that collectability was not reasonably assured, the Company has expensed the related cost of sales upon shipment.

Based on the results of the Independent Review, the Company determined that all distributor transactions should be transitioned to the sell-through method of accounting as of the dates described below:

 

    For distributor transactions within the Company’s Orthopedics division, the Company has determined that sell-through accounting should be applied within the Brazil subsidiary for all prior periods given the frequency with which the Company conducted business under extra-contractual and undocumented terms, as well as the Company’s inability to fully access underlying transactional and other information that would be necessary to evaluate transactions under a sell-in basis. For distributor transactions within the division outside the Brazil subsidiary, there were also sales to four distributors that did not meet the fixed or determinable or collectability revenue recognition criteria and therefore, such sales were adjusted to sell-through accounting in the restatement.

Table of Contents
    For distributor transactions within the Company’s U.S. Spine division, the Company has determined that sell-through accounting should be applied beginning January 1, 2011. Following its consideration of the information provided from the Independent Review, the Company believes that January 1, 2011 is the date extra-contractual terms became pervasive in the Company’s U.S. business, and it is unaware of circumstances existing prior to that date that would require it to broadly apply sell-through accounting to all distributor transactions within the U.S. Spine division. Additionally, there were sales in 2012 and 2011 for which revenue was previously recognized that did not meet the fixed or determinable criteria and the product associated with such sales was subsequently returned in 2013 (i) under the terms of negotiated agreements whereby the Company terminated its relationships with two distributors and (ii) by an additional distributor who returned certain product sold pursuant to a contingent sales arrangement. Such sales represented approximately $3.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2012. Due to the return of the product, no revenue will be recognized for these transactions.

 

    The Company has determined that stimulation products sold to distributors within the Company’s U.S. Spine division during 2012 did not meet the fixed or determinable (and in some cases, collectability) revenue recognition criterion at the time of shipment. Therefore, the Company has determined that sell-through accounting should be applied for these sales. Management also determined that many of these distributors (or affiliates thereof) received commission payments as part of the sales transactions, which the Company previously recorded as sales and marketing expense. The Company has recorded adjustments in the restatement to net these commission expenses against revenue, as they represented product discounts.

 

    The Company has determined that it will prospectively apply sell-through accounting for all remaining distributor arrangements (which entails arrangements within the Company’s Orthopedics division outside the Brazil subsidiary) beginning April 1, 2013, the earliest date for which financial statements have not previously been issued by the Company. Although the Independent Review did not provide information to indicate extra-contractual terms or that historical revenue recognition was inappropriate in these remaining instances, the Company believes the information from the Independent Review indicating that the Company has a history of extra-contractual arrangements for distributor transactions, as described above, provides additional information which should be considered in reassessing the application of sell-through accounting on a prospective basis, particularly given that the Company believes that there is a higher risk associated with distributor arrangements generally.

The effect of adjustments made to the Company’s previously filed consolidated statements of operations as a result of these matters are shown in the tables below. These adjustments also had the following effects on the Company’s previously filed consolidated balance sheets:

 

    Accounts receivable decreased as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 by $34.3 million and $41.3 million, respectively, related to the de-recognition of receivables for which revenue has been deferred and will now be recognized on a sell-through basis, based on cash collections.

 

    Inventory increased as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 by $8.8 million and $11.0 million, respectively, to recognize the costs of inventory shipments to distributors determined to be financially viable as discussed previously.

Inventory Reserves

The Company also identified material errors in inventory reserves. One error related to the Company recording an increase of $1.2 million to the Company’s excess and obsolete reserve in the second quarter of 2012 related to a product within the Spine business that was subsequently reversed by the Company in the fourth quarter of 2012. During the Company’s review, it was determined that removing the reserve in the fourth quarter of 2012 was not correct; therefore the reserve has been reinstated.

The Company has also determined that certain inconsistencies existed with respect to how the Company previously computed and recorded inventory reserves. As a result, the Company has reviewed the methodologies used to compute and record inventory reserves and determined that errors in the application of GAAP existed in prior periods, which required adjustment in these financial statements. Based on this review, the Company has determined that it previously made reductions to previously recorded reserves based on changes in forecasted demand, which it believes was contrary to guidance set forth in ASC Topic 330, Inventory (specifically ASC 330-10-35-14), which states that a write-down of inventory to the lower-of-cost-or-market value at the close of a fiscal year creates a new cost basis that subsequently should not be marked up based on changes in underlying circumstances. The restated consolidated financial statements contain several adjustments to reflect recomputed inventory reserves in each of the relevant periods.

These adjustments resulted in a decrease to inventory (due to an increase in reserves) as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 of $14.8 million and $14.8 million, respectively.

Royalties

The Company also reviewed the accounting for royalties and determined there were royalties classified as sales and marketing expense; however, such royalties were based on sales of products and were paid to doctors who consulted on development of those products. Given these amounts are attributable to the cost of producing our products, we determined they are correctly classified as cost of goods sold.

Other Adjustments

In addition to the adjustments recorded to address the Company’s errors in accounting for distributor revenue recognition, inventory reserves, and royalties, the Company has identified other errors that are generally not material, individually or in the aggregate, but have been recorded in connection with the restatement.

There were no material impacts to the statements of cash flows for the items above. The results of the adjustments to the Company’s previously filed consolidated statements of operations detailed above are summarized in the tables below. The tax effect of the adjustments is estimated based on the Company’s effective tax rate.

3. Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or estimated net realizable value, after provision for excess, obsolete or impaired items which is reviewed and updated on a periodic basis by management. For inventory procured or produced, whether internally or through contract manufacturing arrangements, at our manufacturing facility in Italy, cost is determined on a weighted-average basis, which approximates the first in, first out (“FIFO”) method due to the high turn-over rate of inventory at this location. For inventory procured or produced, whether internally or through contract manufacturing arrangements, at our manufacturing facility in Texas, standard costs, which approximates actual cost on a FIFO basis, is used to value inventory. Standard costs are reviewed annually by management, or more often in the event circumstances indicate a change in cost has occurred. The valuation of work-in-process, finished products, field inventory and consignment inventory includes the cost of materials, labor and production costs. Field inventory represents immediately saleable finished products inventory that is in the possession of the Company’s direct sales representatives. Consignment inventory represents immediately saleable finished products located at third party customers, such as distributors and hospitals. Deferred cost of sales result from transactions where the Company has shipped product or performed services for which all revenue recognition criteria have not yet been met. Once all revenue recognition criteria have been met, the deferred revenues and associated cost of sales are recognized.

6. Bank borrowings

Borrowings under lines of credit consist of borrowings in Euros used to fund international operations. There were no borrowings under such facilities at March 31, 2013 and $0.1 million at December 31, 2012. The weighted average interest rates on borrowings under the line of credit at December 31, 2012 was 3.70%.

Table of Contents

The Company had an unused available line of credit of €5.8 million ($7.4 million) and €5.8 million ($7.6 million) at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, in its Italian line of credit. This line of credit provides the Company the option to borrow amounts in Italy at rates which are determined at the time of borrowing. This line of credit is unsecured.

7. Long-term debt

On August 30, 2010, the Company’s wholly-owned U.S. holding company, Orthofix Holdings, Inc. (“Orthofix Holdings”) entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with certain domestic direct and indirect subsidiaries of the Company (the “Guarantors”), JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent, RBS Citizens, N.A., as Syndication Agent, and certain lender parties thereto.

The Credit Agreement provides for a five year, $200 million secured revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”), and a five year, $100 million secured term loan facility (the “Term Loan Facility”, and together with the Revolving Credit Facility, the “Credit Facilities”). Orthofix Holdings has the ability to increase the amount of the Credit Facilities by an aggregate amount of up to $50 million upon satisfaction of certain conditions.

In May 2012, the Company used a portion of the proceeds from the sale of Breg, Inc. (“Breg”) (see Note 16) to repay in full the remaining $87.5 million balance on the Term Loan Facility and pay down $57.5 million of amounts outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility. This use of proceeds was required by the lenders’ consent dated April 23, 2012 to the Credit Agreement. As a result of the sale of Breg, Breg ceased to be a subsidiary of the Company and, therefore, Breg was released as a credit party under the Credit Agreement. Additionally, the Company paid $20 million in June 2012 and $20 million in September 2012 to reduce amounts outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility. As a result, at December 31, 2012, the Term Loan Facility had been repaid in full and there was $20 million outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012. Borrowings under the Credit Facilities bear interest at a floating rate, which is, at Orthofix Holdings’ option, either the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus an applicable margin or a base rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus an applicable margin (in each case subject to adjustment based on financial ratios). Such applicable margin will be up to 3.25% for LIBOR borrowings and up to 2.25% for base rate borrowings depending upon a measurement of the consolidated leverage ratio with respect to the immediately preceding four fiscal quarters. As of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the entire Revolving Credit Facility was at the LIBOR rate plus a margin of 2.50%. The effective interest rate on the Credit Facilities as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 was 2.7%.

Outstanding balances on the Revolving Credit Facility are due on August 30, 2015.

Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility, which may be made in the future, will be used for working capital, capital expenditures and other general corporate purposes of Orthofix Holdings and its subsidiaries. The Guarantors have guaranteed repayment of Orthofix Holdings’ obligations under the Credit Agreement. The obligations of Orthofix Holdings and each of the Guarantors with respect to the Credit Facilities are secured by a pledge of substantially all of the assets of Orthofix Holdings and each of the Guarantors.

The Credit Agreement, as amended, requires Orthofix Holdings and the Company to comply with coverage ratios on a consolidated basis and contains affirmative and negative covenants, including limitations on additional debt, liens, investments and acquisitions. The Credit Agreement, as amended, also includes events of default customary for facilities of this type. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, all outstanding loans may be accelerated and/or the lenders’ commitments terminated. The Company was in compliance with the affirmative and negative covenants at March 31, 2013 and there were no events of default.

Certain subsidiaries of the Company have restrictions on their ability to pay dividends or make intercompany loan advances pursuant to the Company’s Credit Facilities. The net assets of Orthofix Holdings and its subsidiaries are restricted for distributions to the parent company. Domestic subsidiaries of the Company, as parties to the credit agreement, have access to these net assets for operational purposes.

The amount of restricted net assets of Orthofix Holdings and its subsidiaries as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 is $225.2 million and $213.4 million, respectively. In addition, the Credit Agreement restricts the Company and subsidiaries that are not parties to the Credit Facilities from access to cash held by Orthofix Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries. All of the Company’s subsidiaries that are parties to the Credit Agreement have access to this cash for operational and debt repayment purposes. The amount of restricted cash of the Company as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 was $29.4 million and $21.3 million, respectively.

In conjunction with obtaining the Credit Facilities and the Credit Agreement, as amended, the Company incurred debt issuance costs of $5 million. These costs are being amortized using the effective interest method over the life of the Credit Facilities. In conjunction with the Term Loan Facility repayment in May 2012, the Company wrote off $0.8 million of related debt issuance costs. As of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, debt issuance costs, net of accumulated amortization, related to the Credit Agreement were $1.6 million and $1.8 million, respectively.

Cross-currency swap

On September 30, 2010, the Company entered into a cross-currency swap agreement (the “replacement swap agreement”) with JPMorgan Chase Bank and Royal Bank of Scotland PLC (the “counterparties”) to manage its cash flows related to foreign currency exposure for a portion of the Company’s intercompany receivable of a U.S. dollar functional currency subsidiary that is denominated in Euro.

Under the terms of the swap agreement, the Company pays Euros based on a €28.7 million notional value and a fixed rate of 5.00% and receives U.S. dollars based on a notional value of $39 million and a fixed rate of 4.635%. The expiration date is December 30, 2016, the date upon which the underlying intercompany debt, to which the swap agreement applies, matures. The swap agreement is designated as a cash flow hedge and therefore the Company recognized an unrealized gain (loss) on the change in fair value, net of tax, within other comprehensive income (loss).

9. Fair value measurements

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Non-financial assets and liabilities of the Company measured at fair value include any long-lived assets or equity method investments that are impaired in a currently reported period. The authoritative guidance also describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

 

   Level 1 —    quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities
   Level 2 —    observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities
   Level 3 —    unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data available, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions

As of March 31, 2013, the Company’s financial instruments included cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, short-term bank borrowings, accounts payable, long-term secured debt, and a cross currency derivative contract. Cash equivalents consist of short-term, highly liquid, income-producing investments, all of which have original maturities of 90 days or less, including money market funds. The carrying value of restricted cash, accounts receivable, short-term bank borrowings and accounts payable approximate fair value due to the short-term maturities of these instruments. The Company’s credit facilities carry a floating rate of interest, and therefore, the carrying value is considered to approximate the fair value.

The Company’s cross-currency derivative instrument is the only financial instrument recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. This instrument consists of an over-the-counter contract, which is not traded on a public exchange. The fair value of the swap contract is determined based on inputs that are readily available in public markets or can be derived from information available in publicly quoted markets. Therefore, the Company has categorized the swap contract as a Level 2 derivative financial instrument. The Company also considers counterparty credit risk and its own credit risk in its determination of all estimated fair values. The Company has consistently applied these valuation techniques in all periods presented.

(1) As the cash generally remains permanently invested in the non-U.S. dollar denominated foreign subsidiaries, no deferred taxes are recognized on the related foreign currency translation adjustment.

11. Earnings per share

For the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, there were no adjustments to net income for purposes of calculating basic and diluted net income available to common shareholders. The following is a reconciliation of the weighted average shares used in the basic and diluted net income per common share computations.

Options to purchase shares of common stock with exercise prices in excess of the average market price of common shares are not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share. There were 973,037 and 714,686 outstanding options not included in the diluted earnings per share computation for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, because the inclusion of these options was anti-dilutive.

12. Share-based compensation

All share-based compensation costs are measured at the grant date, based on the estimated fair value of the award, and are recognized as expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations over the requisite service period.

For the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, there were no performance requirements for share-based compensation awarded to employees. In March 2013, the Company granted options to its newly-appointed Chief Executive Officer, which vesting is based on achieving certain market prices for the Company’s common stock.

During the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, there were 113,965 and 262,713 shares, respectively, of common stock issued related to stock purchase plan issuances, stock option exercises and the vesting of restricted stock awards.

(1) In the first quarter of 2013, the Company received $4.4 million of cash related to the demutualization of a mutual insurance company, in which the company was an eligible member to share in such proceeds.

14. Income taxes

The Company recognized a $4.7 million and $6.5 million provision for income tax which reflects an effective tax rate of 38.1% and 42.9% on pre-tax income for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Excluding the impact of various discrete charges, the effective tax rate on continuing operations was 38.1% and 39.5% for the first three months of 2013 and 2012, respectively. The principal factors affecting the Company’s effective tax rate was the Company’s mix of earnings among various tax jurisdictions, state taxes and current period losses in certain jurisdictions for which the Company does not currently provide a tax benefit.

On January 2, 2013, the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 (“Act”) was enacted. The Act provides tax relief for businesses by reinstating certain tax benefits and credits retroactively to January 1, 2012. There are several provisions of the Act that impact the Company, most notably the extension of the Research and Development credit. Income tax accounting rules require tax law changes to be recognized in the period of enactment; as such, the associated tax benefits of the Act were recognized in the Company’s provision for income taxes in the first quarter of 2013.

As of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company’s unrecognized tax benefit was $0.8 million and $1.2 million, respectively. The Company recognizes potential accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. In March 2013 the Company settled a $0.9 million liability that had been previously accrued as of December 31, 2012. The entire amount of unrecognized tax benefits, including interest, would favorably impact the Company’s effective tax rate if recognized. As of March 31, 2013, the Company does not expect the amount of unrecognized tax benefits to change significantly over the next twelve months.

Unremitted foreign earnings increased from $285.3 million at December 31, 2011 to $292 million at December 31, 2012. The $292 million includes $293.8 million in U.S subsidiaries. The Company does not anticipate any impact on income tax liabilities since earnings are permanently reinvested for both U.S and non-U.S. subsidiaries.

16. Sale of Breg and Disposition of Sports Medicine GBU

On April 23, 2012, the Company’s subsidiary Orthofix Holdings and Breg entered into a stock purchase agreement (the “SPA”) with Breg Acquisition Corp. (“Buyer”), a newly formed affiliate of Water Street Healthcare Partners II, L.P., pursuant to which Buyer agreed to acquire from Orthofix Holdings all the outstanding shares of Breg, subject to the terms and conditions contained therein (the “Transaction”). Under the terms of the SPA, upon closing of the sale, Orthofix Holdings and the Company agreed to indemnify Buyer with respect to certain specified matters, including the government investigation and product liability matters regarding a previously owned infusion pump product line, pre-closing sales of cold therapy units and certain post-closing sales of cold therapy units. (See “Matters Related to the Company’s Former Breg Subsidiary and Possible Indemnification Obligations” under Note 17 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the 2012 Form 10-K/A.) On May 24, 2012 (the “Closing Date”), Orthofix Holdings completed the sale of all of the outstanding shares of Breg for $157.5 million in cash. After adjustments for working capital and indebtedness in accordance with the terms of the SPA, Orthofix Holdings used $145 million of the net proceeds to prepay outstanding Company indebtedness, as required by a lender consent received in connection with the Company’s existing Credit Agreement. As a result of the closing of this Transaction, Breg ceased to be a subsidiary of the Company and, therefore, Breg was released as a credit party under the Credit Agreement. The Company also agreed to enter into certain transition arrangements at the closing, including a transition services agreement pursuant to which the Company agreed to continue to provide administrative operational support for a period of up to twelve months. As a result of the sale of Breg, the Company completed its exit from the Sports Medicine GBU, of which Breg was a significant component.

The portion of indemnification related to post closing claims related to post-closing sales of cold therapy has created a guarantee under Accounting Standards Codification ASC 460 — Guarantees, and the fair value of the liability has been recorded under the initial recognition criteria in the amount of $2 million at the Closing Date. The Company will amortize the fair value of the noncontingent liability ratably over the period of indemnification, which is three years. The Company’s obligations under this guarantee were approximately $1.4 million and $1.6 million as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

17. Contingencies

The Company is a party to certain outstanding legal proceedings, investigations and claims. These matters (including certain matters occurring in 2013) are described in the 2012 Form 10-K/A. There have been no material developments in these matters since the filing of the 2012 Form 10-K/A.

18. Subsequent Events

In August 2013, as a result of the delay in filing our second quarter report on Form 10-Q and delay in filing our third quarter report on Form 10-Q, we sought and obtained a Limited Waiver which waived requirements under the Credit Agreement to deliver quarterly financial statements for the fiscal quarters ending on June 30, 2013 and September 30, 2013, and related financial covenant certificates, until the earlier of (i) March 31, 2014 or (ii) the date that is one day after such financial statements are publicly filed or released.

On May 8, 2013, the Company announced that its Board of Directors has authorized a share repurchase program in an amount up to $50 million. Repurchases began on May 10, 2013 consisting primarily of open market transactions at prevailing market prices in accordance with the guidelines specified under Rule 10b-18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Repurchases were being made from cash on hand, cash generated from operations and additional borrowings. The timing of the transactions and the aggregate number of shares of common stock that will be ultimately repurchased under the repurchase program will depend on a variety of factors, including market conditions and the prices at which the securities are repurchased. The Company may discontinue repurchases without prior notice at any time if it determines additional repurchases are not warranted. As of the date of this Form 10-Q/A, the Company has made total repurchases in an amount equal to approximately $39.5 million, all of which repurchases to date were made during the fiscal quarters ended June 30, 2013 and September 30, 2013.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

As discussed below and in Part I, Item 1, “Financial Statements” – “Note 2 – Restatement of Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements”, we have restated our previously issued consolidated financial statements for certain prior periods, including the fiscal quarters ended March 31, 2013 and March 31, 2012. Accordingly, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations have been revised for the effects of the restatement.

The following discussion and analysis addresses the results of our operations which are based upon the condensed consolidated financial statements included herein, which have been prepared in accordance with US GAAP, for the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2012. These discussions should be read in conjunction with our historical consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto and the other financial information included in this Form 10-Q/A and in the 2012 Form 10-K/A.

Restatement of Previously Issued Consolidated Financial Statements

As described further below and herein, this Form 10-Q/A reflects the restatement of our condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for each of the fiscal quarters ended March 31, 2013 and March 31, 2012. The restatement reflected in this Amendment and the 2012 Form 10-K/A corrects errors principally related to our accounting for revenue recognition for sales to distributors, our accounting for inventory reserves, and our accounting for royalties. This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations gives effect to the restatement adjustments in the fiscal quarters ended March 31, 2013 and March 31, 2012. See Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements, which accompany the financial statements in Part I, Item 1 of this report, for further detail regarding the restatement adjustments. In addition, for further information regarding the matters leading to the restatement and related findings respect to our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting, see Part I, Item 4, “Controls and Procedures” of this Amendment.

Audit Committee Review

In conjunction with the Independent Review conducted by the Audit Committee described in the Explanatory Note of this Form 10-Q/A, management concluded that errors existed in our previously issued financial statements with respect to the fiscal years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, and the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2013. There were also similar types of errors identified as affecting our previously issued consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007, for which we included restated consolidated financial information for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 in the “Selected Financial Data” table of the 2012 Form 10-K/A. Adjustments prior to January 1, 2010 were recognized as a cumulative adjustment to beginning retained earnings in the consolidated statements of changes in shareholders’ equity included in the consolidated financial statements included in Item 8 of the 2012 Form 10-K/A.

In reaching these conclusions, we considered information obtained in the Independent Review, including emails, data and interviews with current and former employees that indicated (i) the existence of extra-contractual terms or arrangements at the onset of the sale and concessions agreed to subsequent to the initial sale (such as extended payment terms, and return and exchange rights for sales to distributors with respect to certain transactions), including some with which certain senior-level personnel were involved, (ii) that at the time of some sales collection was not reasonably assured, and (iii) that certain amounts previously characterized as commissions were paid to related parties of the applicable customer.

Table of Contents

We assessed the information derived from the Independent Review in making determinations with respect to accounting adjustments reflected in the restated consolidated financial statements contained in this Form 10-Q/A and in the 2012 Form 10-K/A, and such determinations are consistent with the findings of the Independent Review. In addition to the matters that were the subject of the Independent Review, certain other adjustments identified by management, including revisions to inventory reserves and royalties, were made to the consolidated financial statements in connection with the restatement.

General Overview

We are a diversified, global medical device company focused on developing and delivering innovative repair and regenerative solutions to the spine and orthopedic markets. Our products are designed to address the lifelong bone-and-joint health needs of patients of all ages, helping them achieve a more active and mobile lifestyle. We design, develop, manufacture, market and distribute medical equipment used principally by musculoskeletal medical specialists for orthopedic applications. Our main products are invasive and minimally invasive spinal implant products and related human cellular and tissue based products (“HCT/P products”), non-invasive regenerative stimulation products used to enhance bone growth and the success rate of spinal fusions and to treat non-union fractures, external and internal fixation devices used in fracture repair, limb lengthening and bone reconstruction. Our products also include bone cement and devices for removal of bone cement used to fix artificial implants.

We have administrative and training facilities in the United States (“U.S.”), Brazil, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Puerto Rico and Italy and manufacturing facilities in the U.S. and Italy. The Spine global business unit (“GBU”) directly distributes products in the U.S. and commencing in the first quarter of 2013 in Germany. The orthopedics GBU directly distributes products in the U.S., the United Kingdom, Italy, Germany, Switzerland, Austria, France, Belgium, Brazil and Puerto Rico. In several of these and other markets we also distribute our products through independent distributors.

Our condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial results of our Company and our wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries and entities over which we have control. All intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

Our reporting currency is the U.S. Dollar. All balance sheet accounts, except shareholders’ equity, are translated at period-end exchange rates and revenue and expense items are translated at weighted average rates of exchange prevailing during the period. Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in other income and expense. Gains and losses resulting from the translation of foreign currency financial statements are recorded in the accumulated other comprehensive income component of shareholders’ equity.

Our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows are not significantly impacted by seasonality trends. However, sales associated with products for elective procedures appear to be influenced by the somewhat lower volume of such procedures performed in the late summer. In addition, we do not believe our operations will be significantly affected by inflation. However, in the ordinary course of business, we are exposed to the impact of changes in interest rates and foreign currency fluctuations. Our objective is to limit the impact of such movements on earnings and cash flows. In order to achieve this objective, we seek to balance non-dollar denominated income and expenditures. During the period, we have used derivative instruments to hedge foreign currency fluctuation exposures. See Item 3, Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

We manage our business by our two global business units (“GBU’s”), which are comprised of Spine and Orthopedics, supported by our Corporate activities. These GBUs represent the current segments in which our Chief Operating Decision Maker reviews financial information and makes resource allocation decisions among business units. Accordingly, our segment information (as provided below) has been prepared based on our two GBU reporting segments. Corporate activities not necessarily identifiable within the two GBUs are recorded as part of Corporate.

Spine

Three Months Ended March 31, 2013 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2012

Net sales decreased $5.5 million to $103.4 million in the first quarter of 2013 compared to $108.9 million for the same period last year. The impact of foreign currency increased sales by $2.4 million during the first quarter of 2013 when compared to the first quarter of 2012. Net sales include product sales and marketing service fees which is comprised of sales of Trinity Evolution ® in spine and orthopedic applications.

Sales

Net sales in our Spine global business unit decreased to $70 million in the first quarter of 2013 compared to $73.2 million for the same period last year, a decrease of $3.2 million. The decrease in Spine’s net sales was made up of a $5.1 million, or 13% decrease in sales of Regenerative Stimulation products and a 5% (or $1.9 million) increase in sales of Repair Implants and Regenerative Biologics products used in spine applications when compared to the same period in the prior year. The decrease in sales of Regenerative Stimulation products used in spine applications was primarily a result of residual effects of distribution disruptions and higher than ordinary mix of wholesale revenue in the first quarter of 2012. The increase in sales of Repair Implants and Regenerative Biologics products was primarily due to the growth from the ongoing rollout of the FORZA Spinal Spacer System and the increased adoption of Trinity Evolution ® in spine fusion applications.

Net sales in our Orthopedics global business unit decreased 7% (or 3% on a constant currency basis) to $33.3 million in the first quarter of 2013 compared to $35.8 million for the same period last year. This decrease was primarily due to continuing challenges in Brazil in Orthopedics Repair, which has been impacted by increased competition and product delays due to the strike at the country’s regulatory agency; a 26% decrease of Physio-Stim® Regenerative Stimulation sales mainly in the US and in France (where we stopped receiving reimbursement on this product); and poor macroeconomic conditions in Europe.

Gross Profit — Our gross profit decreased $9.8 million to $77.8 million in the first quarter of 2013, compared to $87.6 million for the same period last year. Gross profit as a percent of net sales in the first quarter of 2013 was 75% compared to 80% for the same period last year. The decrease in the gross profit margin is primarily a result of an unfavorable product and geographical sales mix relating to the decrease in our stimulation sales both in Spine and Orthopedics, impacts from pricing challenges in our Spine Implants business and an increase in depreciation expense related to new product launches in our Spine Implants business that took place in the third and fourth quarters of 2012.

Sales and Marketing Expense — Sales and marketing expense, which includes commissions and the bad debt provision, generally increase and decrease in relation to sales. Sales and marketing expense decreased $2.1 million, to $45.0 million in the first quarter of 2013 compared to $47.1 million in the first quarter of 2012. As a percent of net sales, sales and marketing expense remained 43% in both the first quarter of 2013 and 2012.

General and Administrative Expense — General and administrative expense increased $3.7 million, or 25%, in the first quarter of 2013 to $18.3 million compared to $14.6 million in the first quarter of 2012. The first quarter of 2013 included $3.6 million of senior management succession charges. Excluding these succession charges, general and administrative expense as a percent of net sales was 14% in the first quarter of 2013, which is comparable with 13% in 2012.

Research and Development Expense — Research and development expense decreased $1.4 million in the first quarter of 2013 to $5.7 million compared to $7.1 million for the same period last year. As a percent of sales, research and development expense was 5.5% in the first quarter of 2013 compared to 6.5% for the same period last year. The decrease in research and development expenses in the first quarter of 2013 compared to the same period in the prior year was due to our strategic investment with Musculoskeletal Transplant Foundation (“MTF”) of $1 million in the 2012 period on the development and commercialization of the next generation cell-based bone growth technology and timing of spending related to our ongoing research, development and clinical activities.

Amortization of Intangible Assets — Amortization of intangible assets was $0.6 million in the first quarter of 2013 and 2012.

Interest Expense, net — Interest expense, net was $0.6 million for the first quarter of 2013 compared to $2.2 million for the same period last year, primarily as the result of a lower year over year outstanding debt balance and to a lesser extent lower interest rates.

Other Income (Expense) — Other income (expense) was $4.8 million and ($0.6) million for the first quarters of 2013 and 2012, respectively. The fluctuation is mainly attributable to our receipt of $4.4 million cash related to the demutualization of a mutual insurance company in which we were an eligible member to share in such proceeds. Other income (expense) also includes the effect of foreign exchange. Several of our foreign subsidiaries hold trade payables or receivables in currencies (most notably the U.S. Dollar) other than their functional (local) currency which results in foreign exchange gains or losses when there is relative movement between those currencies.

Income Tax Expense —Our worldwide effective tax rate was 38.1% and 42.9% during the first quarters of 2013 and 2012, respectively. When adjusted for various discrete items, the effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2013 and 2012 was 38.1% and 39.5% respectively. These rates are affected by the mix of earnings among various tax jurisdictions and losses incurred in a number of foreign jurisdictions, for which we do not currently recognize a tax benefit. We do not believe that it is more likely than not that we will generate sufficient future income in these jurisdictions to allow for the utilization of these losses before their expiration.

Net Income — Net income for the first quarter of 2013 was $4.5 million, or $0.23 per basic and $0.23 per diluted share, compared to net income of $9.4 million, or $0.50 per basic and $0.49 per diluted share for the same period last year.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash and cash equivalents including Restricted Cash at March 31, 2013 were $63.1 million, of which $29.4 million was subject to certain restrictions under the senior secured credit agreement described below. This compares to cash and cash equivalents of $52.4 million at December 31, 2012, of which $21.3 million was subject to certain restrictions under the senior secured credit agreement discussed below.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $15.1 million and $49.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Net cash provided by operating activities is comprised of net income, non-cash items (including depreciation and amortization, provision for doubtful accounts, share-based compensation and deferred income taxes) and changes in working capital. Net income decreased $4.9 million to net income of $4.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 from a net income of $9.4 million for the comparable period in the prior year. Non-cash items for the three months ended March 31, 2013 increased $3.5 million to $9.4 million compared to non-cash items of $5.9 million in the same period of 2012. Working capital accounts provided $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and $33.7 million of cash for the three months ended March 31, 2012, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2012, working capital accounts were impacted by $41.5 million in cash we received from the Blackstone escrow fund which was recorded in Restricted Cash in accordance with the credit facility. Overall performance indicators for our two primary working capital accounts, accounts receivable and inventory reflect day’s sales in receivables of 84 days at March 31, 2013 and 86 days at March 31, 2012, and inventory turns of 1.2 times as of March 31, 2013 and 1.1 times as of March 31, 2012.

Net cash used by investing activities was $6.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and $6.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012, which in each case was used for capital expenditures.

Net cash used in financing activities was $5.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to $28.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012. During the three months ended March 31, 2013, we made no repayments on our revolving debt as compared to $3.8 million during the three months ended March 31, 2012. Our restricted cash balance usage of $32.3 million in the three months ended March 31, 2012 primarily related to the cash received from the Blackstone escrow fund which was recorded in Restricted Cash in accordance with the credit facility. Our restricted cash balance usage was $8.1 million in the three months ended March 31, 2013. During the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, we received proceeds of $2.1 million and $6.6 million, respectively, from the issuance of 113,965 shares and 262,713 shares, respectively, of our common stock related to stock purchase plan issuances, stock option exercises and the vesting of restricted stock awards.

On August 30, 2010, our wholly-owned U.S. holding company, Orthofix Holdings, Inc. (“Orthofix Holdings”) entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with certain of our domestic direct and indirect subsidiaries (the “Guarantors”), JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent, RBS Citizens, N.A., as Syndication Agent, and certain lender parties thereto.

The Credit Agreement provides for a five year, $200 million secured revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”), and a five year, $100 million secured term loan facility (the “Term Loan Facility”, and together with the Revolving Credit Facility, the “Credit Facilities”). Orthofix Holdings has the ability to increase the amount of the Credit Facilities by an aggregate amount of up to $50 million upon satisfaction of certain conditions.

In May 2012, we used a portion of the proceeds from the sale of Breg, Inc. to repay the $87.5 million remaining balance on the Term Loan Facility and pay down $57.5 million of amounts outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility. This use of proceeds was required by the lenders’ consent dated April 23, 2012 to the Credit Agreement. Additionally, we paid $20 million in June 2012 and $20 million in September 2012 to reduce amounts outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility.

As of March 31, 2013, the Term Loan Facility had been repaid in full and there was $20 million outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility. Borrowings under the Credit Facilities bear interest at a floating rate, which is, at Orthofix Holdings’ option, either the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus an applicable margin or a base rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus an applicable margin (in each case subject to adjustment based on financial ratios). Such applicable margin will be up to 3.25% for LIBOR borrowings and up to 2.25% for base rate borrowings depending upon a measurement of the consolidated leverage ratio with respect to the immediately preceding four fiscal quarters. As of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the entire Revolving Credit Facility was at the LIBOR rate plus a margin of 2.50%. The effective interest rate on the Credit Facilities at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 was 2.7%.

Outstanding balances on the Revolving Credit Facility are due on August 30, 2015.

Table of Contents

Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility, which may be made in the future, will be used for working capital, capital expenditures and other general corporate purposes of Orthofix Holdings and its subsidiaries. The Guarantors have guaranteed repayment of Orthofix Holdings’ obligations under the Credit Agreement. The obligations of Orthofix Holdings and each of the Guarantors with respect to the Credit Facilities are secured by a pledge of substantially all of the assets of Orthofix Holdings and each of the Guarantors.

The Credit Agreement as amended requires us and Orthofix Holdings to comply with coverage ratios on a consolidated basis and contains affirmative and negative covenants, including limitations on additional debt, liens, investments and acquisitions. We believe we were in compliance with the affirmative and negative covenants at March 31, 2013 and there were no events of default.

Certain of our subsidiaries have restrictions on their ability to pay dividends or make intercompany loan advances pursuant to the Credit Facilities. The net assets of Orthofix Holdings and its subsidiaries are restricted for distributions to the parent company. Our domestic subsidiaries, as parties to the Credit Agreement, have access to these net assets for operational purposes. The amount of restricted net assets of Orthofix Holdings and its subsidiaries as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 was $225.2 million and $213.4 million, respectively. In addition, the Credit Agreement restricts us and our subsidiaries that are not parties to the Credit Facilities from access to cash held by Orthofix Holdings and its subsidiaries. The amount of restricted cash as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 was $29.4 million and $21.3 million, respectively.

At March 31, 2013, we had no outstanding bank borrowings and unused available line of credit of approximately €5.8 million ($7.4 million) under the line of credit established in Italy to finance the working capital of our Italian operations. The terms of the line of credit give us the option to borrow amounts in Italy at rates determined at the time of borrowing.

On May 8, 2013, we announced that our Board of Directors has authorized a share repurchase program in an amount up to $50 million. Repurchases began on May 10, 2013 consisting primarily of open market transactions at prevailing market prices in accordance with the guidelines specified under Rule 10b-18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Repurchases were being made from cash on hand, cash generated from operations and additional borrowings. The timing of the transactions and the aggregate number of shares of common stock that will be ultimately repurchased under the repurchase program will depend on a variety of factors, including market conditions and the prices at which the securities are repurchased. We may discontinue repurchases without prior notice at any time if it determines additional repurchases are not warranted. As of the date of this Form 10-Q/A, we have made total repurchases in an amount equal to approximately $39.5 million, all of which repurchases to date were made during the fiscal quarters ended June 30, 2013 and September 30, 2013.

We believe that current cash balances together with projected cash flows from operating activities, the availability of the $180 million revolving credit facility, the available Italian line of credit and our debt capacity are sufficient to cover anticipated working capital and capital expenditure needs including research and development costs over the next twelve months.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are exposed to certain market risks as part of our ongoing business operations. Primary exposures include changes in interest rates and foreign currency fluctuations. These exposures can vary sales, cost of sales, costs of operations and the cost of financing and yields on cash and short-term investments. We use derivative financial instruments, where appropriate, to manage these risks. However, our risk management policy does not allow us to hedge positions we do not hold nor do we enter into derivative or other financial investments for trading or speculative purposes. As of March 31, 2013, we had a currency swap in place to minimize foreign currency exchange risk related to a €28.7 million ($36.8 million translated at the March 31, 2013 foreign exchange rate) intercompany note. As of March 31, 2013 the fair value of the currency swap was approximately $1.6 million and is recorded in other long-term assets.

We are exposed to interest rate risk in connection with our Term Loan facility and Revolving Credit Facility, which bear interest at floating rates based on LIBOR plus an applicable borrowing margin or at a base rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus an applicable borrowing margin. Therefore, interest rate changes generally do not affect the fair market value of the debt, but do impact future earnings and cash flows, assuming other factors are held constant.

As of March 31, 2013, $20 million of the Revolving Credit Facility is at the LIBOR rate plus a margin of 2.50%. The margin is adjusted based upon the measurement of the consolidated leverage ratio of our Company and our subsidiaries with respect to the immediately preceding four fiscal quarters. As of March 31, 2013, our effective interest rate on our Credit Facilities was 2.7%. Based on the balance outstanding under the Credit Facilities as of March 31, 2013, an immediate change of one percentage point in the applicable interest rate on the Revolving Credit Facility would cause a change in interest expense of approximately $0.2 million annually.

Our foreign currency exposure results from fluctuating currency exchange rates, primarily the U.S. Dollar against the Euro, Great Britain Pound, Mexican Peso and Brazilian Real. We are subject to cost of goods currency exposure when we produce products in foreign currencies such as the Euro or Great Britain Pound and sell those products in U.S. Dollars. We are subject to transactional

currency exposures when foreign subsidiaries (or the Company itself) enter into transactions denominated in a currency other than their functional currency. As of March 31, 2013, we had an un-hedged intercompany receivable denominated in Euro of approximately €23.2 million ($29.7 million). We recorded a foreign currency loss during the three months ended March 31, 2013 of $0.3 million related to this un-hedged long-term intercompany note in accumulated other comprehensive income during 2013, which resulted from the strengthening of the U.S. dollar against the Euro during the period. For the three months ended March 31, 2013, we recorded a foreign currency gain of $0.6 million on the statement of operations resulting from gains and losses in foreign currency transactions. We also are subject to currency exposure from translating the results of our global operations into the U.S. dollar at exchange rates that have fluctuated during the period. As we continue to distribute and manufacture our products in selected foreign countries, we expect that future sales and costs associated with our activities in these markets will continue to be denominated in the applicable foreign currencies, which could cause currency fluctuations to materially impact our operating results.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Background of Restatement

In July 2013, members of the Company’s senior management brought certain information to the attention of the chair of the Audit Committee (“Audit Committee”) of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) that raised questions regarding whether the Company had properly recognized revenue under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in connection with revenue from distributor sales that had been recorded in 2012 and 2011, including a significant return processed in the second quarter of 2013 relating to revenue recognized in 2012. On the recommendation of management and after discussion with the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, Ernst & Young LLP (“Ernst & Young”), the Audit Committee concluded, with the concurrence of the Board, that it would commence an independent review into these matters with the assistance of outside professionals engaged by the Audit Committee (the “Independent Review”).

On August 5, 2013, the Audit Committee concluded that certain revenues recognized during 2012 and 2011, upon further evaluation, should not have been recognized or should not have been recognized during the periods in which they were recognized. As a result of the foregoing, on August 5, 2013, the Audit Committee concluded that the Company’s previously issued consolidated financial statements as of and for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2012 (as well as the interim quarterly periods within such years), as well as for the interim quarterly period ended March 31, 2013, should no longer be relied upon (the “Non-Reliance Period”). On August 6, 2013, the Board ratified the foregoing conclusion by the Audit Committee.

The Independent Review focused on the periods between January 1, 2010 and March 31, 2013 and included (i) over 50 witness interviews, (ii) collection of emails and files from 70 document custodians, and (iii) quantitative analysis. The scope of the Independent Review, which was determined by the Audit Committee in consultation with outside professionals engaged by the Audit Committee, focused primarily on revenue recognition related to distributor arrangements and inventory reserve adjustments. In conjunction with the Independent Review, management concluded that errors existed in the Company’s previously issued financial statements with respect to the Non-Reliance Period, as well as in the Company’s previously issued consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010. There were also similar types of errors identified as affecting the Company’s previously issued consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007, for which the Company included restated consolidated financial information for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 in the “Selected Financial Data” table of the 2012 Form 10-K/A. Adjustments prior to January 1, 2010 were recognized as a cumulative adjustment to beginning retained earnings in the consolidated statements of changes in shareholders’ equity included in the consolidated financial statements included in Item 8 of the 2012 Form 10-K/A.

In reaching these conclusions, the Company considered information obtained in the Independent Review, including emails, data and interviews with current and former employees that indicated (i) the existence of extra-contractual terms or arrangements at the onset of the sale and concessions agreed to subsequent to the initial sale (such as extended payment terms, and return and exchange rights for sales to distributors with respect to certain transactions), including some with which certain senior-level personnel were involved, (ii) that at the time of some sales collection was not reasonably assured, and (iii) that certain amounts previously characterized as commissions were paid to related parties of the applicable customer.

The Company assessed the information derived from the Independent Review in making determinations with respect to accounting adjustments reflected in the restated consolidated financial statements contained in this Form 10-Q/A and in the 2012 Form 10-K/A, and such determinations are consistent with the findings of the Independent Review. In addition to the matters that were the subject of the Independent Review, certain other adjustments identified by management, including revisions to inventory reserves and royalties, were made to the consolidated financial statements in connection with the restatement.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

In connection with the filing of the Original Form 10-Q in May 2013, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our President and Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, we performed an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2013. Based upon that evaluation, our President and Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Subsequent to the evaluation made in connection with the filing of the Original Form 10-Q in May 2013 and in connection with the preparation and filing of the above-described restatement and this Amendment, our management, with the participation of our President and Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, re-evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. As described below, management has identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, which is an integral component of our disclosure controls and procedures. As a result of those material weaknesses, our President and Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of March 31, 2013.

Material Weaknesses in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

In connection with management’s re-evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2013, our management, including our President and Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, concluded that, because of the material weaknesses described below, our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of March 31, 2013.

A “material weakness” is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. In connection with our management’s re-evaluation of our internal control over financial reporting described above, our management has identified the following deficiencies that it believes constituted individually, and in the aggregate, material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2013:

 

    Revenue recognition practices for sales to the Company’s distributors. We have concluded that we recognized revenue in certain instances in advance of all revenue recognition criteria being met, and that our controls were not effective to reasonably ensure accurate recognition of revenue in accordance with GAAP for certain distributor sales transactions previously recorded by the Company’s domestic and international business units. In general, we did not establish and maintain procedures throughout the Company to reasonably ensure proper communication to, and assessment by, the Company’s finance and accounting department of deviations from contractually established terms, which included written or unwritten arrangements made with, or extra-contractual terms provided to, Company distributors at the onset of the sale regarding extended payment terms, product return or exchange rights, and similar concessions agreed to subsequent to the initial sale (which were not memorialized by any formal contractual amendment). Such additional terms were not evaluated, or not evaluated correctly, and were not maintained or reflected in Company customer sales files. In addition, Company personnel were not adequately trained with respect to certain revenue recognition principles applicable under GAAP that may have led to appropriate consideration of the additional terms entered into outside of the written contractual terms.

 

    Inventory reserves. Errors occurred in establishing the Company’s inventory reserves due to a design deficiency in our controls over the computation and recording of such reserves. Our method of calculating inventory reserves resulted in the misapplication of GAAP, which caused us to make adjustments in the restated consolidated financial statements. Specifically, our controls were not designed to detect that increases in our forecasted demand for products resulted in reductions in subsequent fiscal years to reserves previously recorded. ASC Topic 330 Inventory (specifically ASC 330-10-35-14) states that a write-down of inventory to the lower-of-cost-or-market value at the close of a fiscal year creates a new cost basis that subsequently should not be marked up based on changes in underlying circumstances, and our controls were not designed to prevent such mark ups due to increases in forecasted demand.

 

    Foreign subsidiary oversight. Oversight of certain foreign subsidiaries was insufficiently designed to detect material misstatement of financial information. Specifically, while these entities were included in oversight activities similar to our other locations, we believe the design of our controls did not adequately address the additional risks associated with certain entities. These additional risks include: sales comprised of higher risk distributor revenues; no specific requirements for statutory audits that may detect inadequacies in the Company’s customer and business records; and a business culture where oral agreements were more common, resulting in contract terms that were less likely to be formally documented.

Table of Contents

Some or all of the material weaknesses described above resulted in material misstatements in our annual and interim consolidated financial statements. Because of the foregoing matters, our management has concluded that we did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2013.

Plans for Remediation

Our management has worked, and continues to work, to strengthen our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting in connection with the material weaknesses that have been described above. We intend to continue taking measures, including engaging outside professionals, as may be necessary and advisable, to assist us as we continue to address and rectify the foregoing material weaknesses.

We are committed to maintaining an effective control environment and making changes necessary to enhance effectiveness. This commitment has been, and will continue to be, communicated to and reinforced throughout our organization. As part of this commitment, we are implementing an internal audit program that will take into account the nature of our business and the geographies in which we conduct it. We are also updating our code of conduct, and all our employees will be required to annually acknowledge their commitment to adhering to its provisions. We also will inform all new employees and regularly remind all existing employees of the availability of our compliance hotline, through which employees at all levels can anonymously submit information or express concerns regarding accounting, financial reporting and other irregularities they may have become aware of or observed.

We are in the process of developing a plan for remediation of the ineffective internal control over financial reporting described above. In addition, we have designed and plan to implement, and in some cases have already implemented, the specific remediation initiatives described below:

Management’s remediation plan with respect to controls over revenue recognition practices relating to the Company’s distributors:

 

    We have enhanced our revenue recognition training materials for all sales personnel;

 

    We are in the process of training sales management personnel (including senior-level management) pursuant to our updated revenue recognition training materials;

 

    We have created and implemented an improved sales certification process to identify any sales with deviations from written sales contracts;

 

    We have established and hired a new Senior Manager of Revenue position in our finance department, which we believe will bring additional revenue recognition expertise to address our more complex revenue transactions to help ensure that our revenue recognition policies are correctly applied; and

 

    We are working to improve procedures with respect to the proper communication, approval, documentation and accounting review of deviations from written sales contracts.

Management’s remediation plan with respect to controls over the computation and recording of the Company’s inventory reserves:

 

    We have enhanced controls over our model for determining inventory reserves to ensure that, once reserves are established in a fiscal period, subsequent write-ups based on demand are not recognized; and

 

    We are implementing additional review of our inventory reserve analysis, including the involvement of both finance and operational executives, and more analysis of days inventory on hand at the product line level, which we expect to provide better controls to assess excess and obsolete inventory based on the current inventory on hand in relation to the demand forecast and related reserve.

Table of Contents

Management’s remediation plan with respect to controls over foreign subsidiary oversight:

 

    We have changed our structure so that all of our subsidiaries’ accounting functions now report to the VP, Controller within the corporate accounting function, which we believe will provide additional corporate-level oversight of their activities;

 

    We have established and hired a Director of Controls and Process Improvement, whose primary duties are the design and implementation of internal control over financial reporting;

 

    We have engaged a professional firm to perform testing and evaluation of the Company’s internal controls, and to assist the Company in designing and implementing additional financial reporting controls and financial reporting control enhancements; and

 

    We are evaluating our accounting systems to determine appropriate enhancements.

We believe the remediation steps outlined above, which in some cases have already been implemented, have improved and will continue to improve the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. However, we have not completed all of the corrective processes and procedures identified above. Accordingly, as we continue to monitor the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting in the areas affected by the material weaknesses described above, we will perform additional procedures prescribed by management, including the use of mitigating control procedures, and will employ any additional tools and resources deemed necessary to provide assurance that our financial statements continue to be fairly stated in all material respects. As our management continues to evaluate and work to improve our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting, we may determine to take additional measures to address these deficiencies or determine to modify certain of the remediation measures described above.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Other than as described above, there have not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter ended March  31, 2013 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
