ITEM 2.02 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
On October 24, 2012, Integra LifeSciences Holdings Corporation (the "Company") issued a press release announcing financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2012 (the "Press Release"). A copy of the Press Release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference into this Item. In the financial statements portion of the Press Release, the Company has included a reconciliation of GAAP revenues to adjusted revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 2012, and GAAP net income to adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") and adjusted EBITDA excluding stock-based compensation, GAAP net income to adjusted net income, and GAAP earnings per diluted share to adjusted earnings per diluted share used by management for the quarters ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, as well as GAAP net income to adjusted net income and GAAP earnings per diluted share to adjusted earnings per diluted share used by management for guidance for the year ending December 31, 2012. In addition, the Company included a supplemental disclosure of revenue by reporting segments in the financial statements portion of the Press Release.

The information contained in Item 2.02 of this Current Report on Form 8-K (including the Press Release and selected historical financial information) is being furnished and shall not be deemed "filed" for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that Section. The information contained in Item 2.02 of this Current Report on Form 8-K (including the Press Release and selected historical financial information) shall not be incorporated by reference into any registration statement or other document pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in any such filing. Discussion of Adjusted Financial Measures In addition to our GAAP results, we provide adjusted revenues, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA excluding stock-based compensation, adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per diluted share. Adjusted revenues consist of growth in total revenues excluding the effects of currency exchange rates on the current period's revenues. The various measures of adjusted EBITDA consist of GAAP net income, excluding: (i) depreciation and amortization, (ii) other income (expense), net, (iii) interest income and expense, (iv) income taxes, (v) those operating expenses also excluded from adjusted net income and, as appropriate
(vi) stock-based compensation expense. The measure of adjusted net income consists of GAAP net income, excluding: (i) Plainsboro, New Jersey manufacturing facility remediation costs; (ii) global enterprise resource planning ("ERP") implementation charges; (iii) facility optimization charges; (iv) certain employee termination charges; (v) discontinued product lines charges; (vi) acquisition-related charges; (vii) impairment charges; (viii) European entity restructuring charges; (ix) certain executive compensation charges; (x) financing charges; (xi) convertible debt non-cash interest; (xii) intangible asset amortization expense; and (xiii) income tax impact from adjustments and other items. The adjusted earnings per diluted share measure is calculated by dividing adjusted net income attributable to diluted shares by diluted weighted average shares outstanding. Reconciliations of GAAP revenues to adjusted revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 2012 and GAAP net income to adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA excluding stock-based compensation and adjusted net income, and GAAP earnings per diluted share to adjusted earnings per diluted share for the quarters ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 appear in the financial tables in the Press Release.

The Company believes that the presentation of adjusted revenues and the various adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per diluted share measures provides important supplemental information to management and investors regarding financial and business trends relating to the Company's financial condition and results of operations. Management uses non-GAAP financial measures in the form of adjusted revenues, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA excluding stock-based compensation, adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per diluted share when evaluating operating performance because we believe that the inclusion or exclusion of the items described below, for which the amounts and/or timing may vary significantly depending upon the Company's acquisition, integration, and restructuring activities, for which the amounts are non-cash in nature, or for which the amounts are not expected to recur at the same magnitude as we implement certain tax planning strategies, provides a supplemental measure of our operating results that facilitates comparability of our operating performance from period to period, against our business model objectives, and against other companies in our industry. We have chosen to provide this information to investors so they can analyze our operating results in the same way that management does and use this information in their assessment of our core business and the valuation of our Company.
Adjusted revenues, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA excluding stock-based compensation, adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per diluted share are significant measures used by management for purposes of:

supplementing the financial results and forecasts reported to the Company's board of directors;

evaluating, managing and benchmarking the operating performance of the Company;

establishing internal operating budgets;

determining compensation under bonus or other incentive programs;

enhancing comparability from period to period;

comparing performance with internal forecasts and targeted business models; and

evaluating and valuing potential acquisition candidates.

The measure of adjusted revenues that we report reflects the growth in total revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 2012 adjusted for the effects of currency exchange rates on current period revenues. We provide this measure because changes in foreign currency exchange rates can distort our revenue growth favorably or unfavorably, depending upon the strength of the U.S. dollar in relation to the various foreign currencies in which we generate revenues. We generate significant revenues outside the United States in multiple foreign currencies including euros, British pounds, Swiss francs and Australian and Canadian dollars. We believe this measure provides useful information to determine the success of our international selling organizations in increasing sales of products in their local currencies without regard to fluctuations in currency exchanges rates, for which we have no control over.
The measure of adjusted net income reflects GAAP net income adjusted for one or more of the following items, as applicable:
Plainsboro, New Jersey manufacturing facility remediation costs. These costs represent expenses associated with remediation and related unplanned idle time and underutilization at the Plainsboro, NJ manufacturing facility. Management excludes this item when evaluating the Company's operating performance because of the infrequent nature and the magnitude of this item.
Global ERP implementation charges. Systems implementation charges consist of the non-capitalizable portion of internal labor and outside consulting costs related to the implementation of a global ERP system. We have inherited many diverse business processes and different information systems through our numerous acquisitions. Accordingly, we are undertaking this initiative in order to standardize business processes globally and to better integrate all of our existing and acquired operations using one information system. Although recurring in nature given the expected timeframe to complete the implementation for our existing operations and our expectation to continue to acquire new businesses and operations, management excludes these charges when evaluating the operating performance of the Company because the frequency and amount of such charges vary significantly based on the timing and magnitude of the Company's implementation activities. In addition, with the global ERP project entering the application development phase, more costs of the project will be capitalized and, therefore, are not comparable to earlier periods.
Facility optimization charges. These charges, which include employee termination and other costs associated with exit or disposal activities, costs related to acquisition integration, costs related to transferring manufacturing and/or distribution activities to different locations, result from rationalizing and enhancing our existing manufacturing, distribution and administrative infrastructure. Some of these cost-saving and efficiency-driven activities are identified as opportunities in connection with acquisitions that provide the Company with additional capacity or economies of scale. Although recurring in nature given management's ongoing review of the efficiency of our manufacturing, distribution and administrative facilities and operations, management excludes these items when evaluating the operating performance of the Company because the frequency and amount of such charges vary significantly based on the timing and magnitude of the Company's rationalization activities and are, in some cases, dependent upon opportunities identified in acquisitions, which also vary in frequency and magnitude.
Certain employee termination charges. Certain employee termination and related charges consist of charges related to senior management level terminations and certain significant reductions in force that are not initiated in connection with facility consolidations or manufacturing or distribution transfers. Management excludes these items when evaluating the Company's operating performance because these amounts do not affect our core operations and because of the infrequent and/or large scale nature of these activities. Discontinued product lines charges. These charges represent charges taken in connection with product lines that the Company discontinues. Management excludes this item when evaluating the Company's operating performance because discontinued products do not provide useful information regarding the Company's prospects for future performance.
Acquisition-related charges. Acquisition-related charges include up-front fees and milestone payments that are expensed as incurred in connection with acquiring licenses or rights to technology for which no product has been approved for sale by regulatory

authorities and such approval is not reasonably assured at the time such up-front fees or milestone payments are made, and in-process research and development charges when accounting rules require them to be expensed, inventory fair value purchase accounting adjustments, and legal, accounting and other outside consultants expenses directly related to acquisitions. Inventory fair value purchase accounting adjustments consist of the increase to cost of goods sold that occur as a result of expensing the "step up" in the fair value of inventory that we purchased in connection with acquisitions as that inventory is sold during the financial period. Although recurring given the ongoing character of our development and acquisition programs, these acquisition and in-licensing related charges are not factored into the evaluation of our performance by management after completion of development programs or acquisitions because they are of a temporary nature, they are not related to our core operating performance and the frequency and amount of such charges vary significantly based on the timing and magnitude of our development and acquisition transactions as well as the level of inventory on hand at the time of acquisition.
Impairment charges. This represents impairment charges recorded against various intangible assets, including completed or core technology, customer relationships, and tradenames. Such impairments result primarily from management decisions to discontinue or significantly reduce promoting certain product lines or tradenames, the inability to incorporate existing product technologies into product development programs, and other circumstances. Management excludes this item when evaluating the Company's operating performance because of the infrequent and non-cash nature of this activity.
European entity restructuring charges. These amounts represent charges recorded in operating or non-operating expenses such as levies and fees paid to government authorities, legal, tax, accounting and consulting fees, and foreign currency gains and losses related to intercompany loan agreements incurred directly as a result of reorganizing our European entities and transfers of business assets between these legal entities. Management excludes this item when evaluating the Company's operating performance because they are not related to our core operating performance and the frequency and amount of such charges vary significantly based on the timing and magnitude of our legal entity restructuring activities.
Certain executive compensation charges. This charge related to extending our former Chief Executive Officer's employment agreement. The charge was recognized in the second quarter of 2011 upon the grant of contract stock units that were fully vested at the time of the grant on May 17, 2011. Management excludes this item when evaluating the Company's operating performance because of the infrequent nature of this item.
Financing charges. These amounts represent expenses incurred in connection with the refinancing of our senior credit facility in the second quarter of 2011. These expenses related to (i) the remaining unamortized balance of previously capitalized issuance costs relating to certain lenders who are no longer parties to our revised senior credit facility and (ii) a portion of the new issuance . . .
