Forward-Looking Statements
and today's conference call may contain forward-looking statements based on certain assumptions and contingencies that involve risks
and uncertainties, which could cause actual results, performance, or trends to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking
statements herein or in previous disclosures. For example, in addition to general industry and economic conditions, factors that could
cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements may include, but are not limited to, the risks
posed to the Company's business, financial condition, and results of operations by the COVID-19 global pandemic and the various
government responses to the pandemic, including deferral of surgeries, reductions in hospital and ambulatory surgery center operating
volumes, disruption to potential supply chain reliability, as well as the risk factors discussed in the Company's Annual Report on Form
10-K for the full year ended December 31, 2020 and listed under the heading Forward-Looking Statements in the Company's
most recently filed Form 10-Q. Any and all forward-looking statements are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and relate to the Company's performance on a going-forward basis. The Company believes that all forward-looking
statements made by it have a reasonable basis, but there can be no assurance that management's expectations, beliefs or projections
as expressed in the forward-looking statements will actually occur or prove to be correct.
Supplemental Information - Reconciliation
of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Company supplements
the reporting of its financial information determined under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) with
certain non-GAAP financial measures, including percentage sales growth in constant currency; adjusted gross profit; cost of sales excluding
specified items; adjusted selling and administrative expenses; adjusted operating income (loss); adjusted interest expense; adjusted income
tax expense (benefit); adjusted effective income tax rate; adjusted net income (loss), adjusted diluted shares and adjusted diluted net
earnings (loss) per share (EPS). The Company believes that these non-GAAP measures provide meaningful information to assist investors
and shareholders in understanding its financial results and assessing its prospects for future performance. Management believes percentage
sales growth in constant currency and the other adjusted measures described above are important indicators of its operations because they
exclude items that may not be indicative of, or are unrelated to, its core operating results and provide a baseline for analyzing trends
in the Company's underlying business. Further, the presentation of EBITDA is a non-GAAP measurement that management considers useful
for measuring aspects of the Company's cash flow. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures for reviewing the operating
results and analyzing potential future business trends in connection with its budget process and bases certain management incentive compensation
on these non-GAAP financial measures.
Net sales on a constant
