about 41% of the company's current revenue.

Exactech’s fastest growing product line.

offers a variety of allograft tissue material
for grafting and repairing bone defects,
and a spine platform that provides a portfolio

expand domestically and internationally.
Surgeon input and clinician feedback is an
important aspect in developing innovative

The Outlook
For the second quarter of 2010, revenue was $47.6 million, a 10% increase over $43.3 million in the second quarter of 2009. Net income increased 14% to $3.0 million, or $0.23 per diluted share, compared to $2.6 million, or $0.20 per diluted share, in the same quarter a year ago. Net income for the quarter, excluding pre-tax legal expenses and costs of $0.4 million related to the ongoing Department of Justice (DOJ) inquiry, was $3.2 million or $0.25 EPS.
The company said its second quarter performance was excellent in several of its market segments as the company's growth rate was again above that of the industry. Sales and marketing transitions underway in some of its overseas markets slowed growth in knee sales, but management believes that despite some near term dislocation, the company is strengthening its ability to grow overseas business and that future results will reflect that. Sales in the quarter were boosted by the growing acceptance of the Novation Hip System and continued strong sales of extremities products led by the Equinoxe® shoulder.
The acquisition of Brighton Partners in Q2 was an important event allowing Exactech to directly control its sole source supplier of the proprietary direct compression molded polyethylene bearings used exclusively in the Optetrak® knee replacement system, our largest product.
For the quarter, U.S. sales rose 12% to $32.8 million compared with $29.2 million. International sales grew 5% to $14.8 million but decreased to 31% of total sales from 33% of total sales for the second quarter of 2009. As a percentage of sales, international sales in the first six months of 2010 increased to 32% from 31% in the first six months of the prior year.
The pipeline of new products continues to be very robust. Exactech has six new products set for launch by the end of the year and another 14 in the pipeline for 2011.
Looking forward, Exactech updated its revenue targets for 2010 to the range of $191 million to $197 million and reaffirmed its target for diluted EPS for the year 2010 in the range of $0.92 to $0.98. For the third quarter ending September 30, 2010, the company targets revenue in the range of $43 million to $46 million and diluted EPS in the range of $0.20 to $0.22. These are U.S. GAAP EPS target ranges that include the impact of DOJ inquiry and compliance costs. The foregoing statements regarding targets for the quarter and full year are forward-looking and actual results may differ materially. These are the company’s targets, not predictions of actual performance.
