Revenue for the second quarter 2010 was $88.8 million, up 5.1% on a sequential basis from the $84.5 million reported in the first quarter 2010, reflecting increased customer demand in the Company's orthopedic and medical device businesses. Revenue for the second quarter 2009 was $101.0 million.  

Gross profit for the second quarter 2010 was $20.4 million, up 19.5% on a sequential basis from the $17.0 million reported in the first quarter 2010 and compared to $26.8 million in the second quarter 2009.  Gross margin percentage for the second quarter 2010 was 22.9% compared to 20.2% for the first quarter 2010 and 26.5% in the same period last year.

Selling, general and administrative expenses in the second quarter 2010 were $12.3 million, a decrease of 2.6% on sequential basis from $12.6 million in the first quarter 2010 as a result of lower sales and marketing expenses due to the timing of industry trade shows during the first quarter 2010.  Expenses were down 6.9% compared to $13.2 million in the second quarter 2009.  The year-over-year decrease was driven primarily by cost controls implemented during the second half of 2009.

On a pre-tax basis, facility closure and severance costs were $0.3 million in the second quarter of 2010, compared to $0.5 million in the first quarter of 2010 and $0.1 million in the second quarter of 2009.

Operating income for the second quarter 2010 was $7.8 million, up from first quarter 2010 operating income of $3.9 million and compared to $13.5 million for the second quarter 2009. Operating margin for the second quarter 2010 was 8.7%, compared to 4.6% in the first quarter 2010 and 13.4% for the second quarter 2009. Excluding expenses related to facility consolidation and employee severance payments referenced above, operating income for the second quarter 2010 was $8.1 million compared to $4.4 million in the first quarter of 2010.

The second quarter 2010 included a non-cash gain of $0.5 million for the mark to market of the Company's interest rate derivative, compared to a non-cash gain for the interest rate derivative of $0.2 million in the second quarter 2009.  

Income tax expense for the second quarter 2010 was $2.4 million, compared to a tax expense of $3.2 million for the second quarter of 2009.

Net income for the second quarter 2010 was $4.5 million, or $0.13 per diluted share, up from $1.6 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2010 and compared to $9.0 million, or $0.25 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2009. Excluding the facility consolidation and employee severance payments referenced above, net income for the second quarter 2010 was $4.7 million, or $0.14 per diluted share compared to $0.06 per diluted share in the first quarter of 2010.

The weighted average number of diluted shares outstanding during the second quarter of 2010 was 35,806,676.

Brian Moore, President and Chief Executive Officer of Symmetry Medical, stated, "Total revenue in second quarter 2010 grew by five percent sequentially, providing further evidence of a stabilized and improving environment. We also achieved sequential expansion of gross margin and operating margin during the quarter, demonstrating better operational efficiency as we adjust to higher volume. Together, these positive results give us confidence that we are well positioned to benefit from a reacceleration of growth and to meet our 2010 revenue and EPS guidance."
