“I’m very pleased to report a strong quarter, which is reflected in our consolidated revenue and earnings results. These favorable results were consistent across all of our core business segments. This included our spinal implant business, which continued to gain momentum in the second quarter as sales grew 12% led by the recent launches of our Firebird pedicle screw system, Pillar SA interbody device and Trinity Evolution stem cell-based allograft,” says president and CEO Alan Milinazzo. “Additionally, our improved cash flow has allowed us to make a total of $20 million in debt payments ahead of their scheduled maturities so far this year, including a $5 million payment this month. Based on our results for the first half of 2009 we are reaffirming our full-year guidance.”
