Results of the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2015

Acelity revenue for the second quarter of 2015 was $461.6 million, up from the prior-year period by 0.5% as reported and 5.1% on a constant currency basis.

    AWT revenue was $354.2 million, up 1.9% as reported and 7.4% on a constant currency basis, compared to the prior-year period. Growth in AWT revenue was driven by increased NPWT volumes, continued strength in focus product growth led by sales of Prevena™, and sustained growth in our international markets resulting from increased global market penetration.
    Regenerative Medicine revenue was $103.5 million, down 3.7% as reported and 2.3% on a constant currency basis, compared to the prior-year period. The decline was primarily due to lower volumes associated with U.S. hernia repair procedures, partially offset by strong growth in international markets.

Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations for the second quarter of 2015 increased 2.9% to $172.9 million from $167.9 million in the prior-year period and increased 5.6% on a constant currency basis. The growth rate of Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations was negatively impacted by 2.7% due to unfavorable movements in foreign exchange rates. Growth in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily attributable to strong revenue coupled with lower expenses resulting from our integration and business optimization efforts. Our loss from continuing operations for the second quarter of 2015 was $17.6 million, compared to $153.8 million in the prior-year period.

Acelity revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was $905.7 million, up from the prior-year period by 0.4% as reported and 4.7% on a constant currency basis.

    AWT revenue was $691.5 million, up 1.9% as reported and 7.1% on a constant currency basis, compared to the prior-year period. Growth in AWT revenue was fueled primarily by higher NPWT volumes during the first half of 2015, double-digit focus product growth, and growth in our international markets.
    Regenerative Medicine revenue was $207.7 million, down 3.0% as reported and 1.7% on a constant currency basis, compared to the prior-year period. The decline was primarily due to lower volumes associated with U.S. hernia repair procedures, partially offset by growth in breast reconstruction and solid growth in international markets.

Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations for the six months ended June 30, 2015 increased 5.2% to $338.7 million from $322.0 million in the prior-year period and increased 8.0% on a constant currency basis. The growth rate of Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations was negatively impacted by 2.8% due to unfavorable movements in foreign exchange rates. Growth in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily attributable to solid revenue performance as well as expense savings associated with integration and business optimization efforts. Our loss from continuing operations for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was $22.2 million, compared to $200.9 million in the prior-year period.

Non-GAAP Financial Information

The following provides information regarding non-GAAP financial measures used in this earnings release:

To supplement our consolidated results presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”), we have disclosed non-GAAP financial measures of operating results that exclude or adjust certain items. A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations and Adjusted EBITDA to net loss is provided later in this earnings release. In addition, the Company presents certain of its financial results on a constant currency basis in addition to GAAP results. Constant currency information compares results between periods as if exchange rates had remained constant period-over-period. In this release, we calculate constant currency by calculating current-year results using prior-year foreign currency exchange rates.

Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful supplemental information for its and investors' evaluation of our business performance and are useful for period-over-period comparisons of the performance of our business. While management believes that these financial measures are useful in evaluating our business, this information should be considered as supplemental in nature and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the related financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures may not be the same as similarly entitled measures reported by other companies. See "Reconciliation from GAAP to Non-GAAP" included within this release for a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures.

1Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations excludes the operations of our previously divested SPY ELITE® business and the impact of merger-related expenses, foreign currency gains or losses, business optimization expenses and other expenses specified in the reconciliation within this release.

2 The Net Leverage Ratio represents Net Debt divided by Consolidated EBITDA for the last twelve months. Net Debt consists of total indebtedness including capital leases and other financing obligations, less cash and cash equivalents up to the greater of$300.0 million or 40% of Consolidated EBITDA for the last twelve months. Consolidated EBITDA, as defined in our senior secured credit agreement, represents Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations plus “run rate” cost savings.
