LEWISVILLE, Texas–(BUSINESS WIRE)–May 6, 2019– Orthofix Medical Inc. (NASDAQ:OFIX) today reported its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2019. Net sales were $109.1 million, earnings per share (“EPS”) was $0.05 and adjusted EPS was $0.27.
“For the first quarter, our top and bottom line results were slightly better than anticipated and we remain confident about our expected sales acceleration throughout the remainder of the year and into 2020, as we previously guided,” said Brad Mason, Orthofix President and Chief Executive Officer. “Regarding the M6-C artificial cervical disc, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approval of the M6-C disc was certainly the most important highlight of the first quarter for the company. We recently released the compelling results of the full two-year data from the M6-C IDE clinical study and announced the first commercial U.S. patient implants, which marks the beginning of a measured launch of the M6-C disc in the U.S., including the ramp-up of training and certification of surgeons. Encouragingly, we continue to receive a very high level of interest and enthusiasm from physicians and distributors alike.” Mason continued, “Lastly, in addition to our strong first quarter sales of our Biologics products, we initiated a limited market release of fiberFUSE DBM, a differentiated demineralized bone matrix with handling characteristics similar to our market-leading Trinity ELITE™ stem cell allograft.”

Changes to Reportable Business Segments

Historical financial results for previously reported quarterly and annual periods have been recast to reflect the two new business segments and will be available in the Company’s Form 8-K after market close today.
