Section 2 Financial Information
Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
On July 31, 2012, CryoLife, Inc. (“CryoLife” or the “Company”) issued a press release announcing its financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2012. CryoLife hereby incorporates by reference herein the information set forth in its press release dated June 30, 2012, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1. Except as otherwise provided in the press release, the press release speaks only as of the date of such press release and it shall not create any implication that the affairs of CryoLife have continued unchanged since such date.
The press release includes earnings per share guidance that excludes expenses related to business development and potential share repurchases. The Company has excluded expenses related to business development from its earnings per share guidance because the Company maintains an active business development program that is subject to changes and is currently unable to predict the level of activity during the remainder of fiscal 2012 if any. The Company has also excluded the impact of potential share repurchases from its earnings per share guidance because of the difficulty in making accurate predictions with respect to its share repurchase program. While the Company currently has remaining authorization to purchase approximately $10.4 million of its common stock through December 31, 2012, the Company is not currently purchasing in the market, and any decisions with respect to the share repurchase program will be subject to various factors that are difficult to forecast with accuracy, including the Company’s stock price, whether or not the Company is in possession of material inside information, other potential uses for cash on hand, and general market conditions.
The information provided pursuant to this Item 2.02 is to be considered “furnished” pursuant to Item 2.02 of Form 8-K and shall not be deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that Section or Sections 11 and 12(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference into any of CryoLife’s reports or filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, whether made before or after the date hereof, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such report or filing.
Except for the historical information contained in this report, the statements made by CryoLife are forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. All such statements are subject to the safe harbor created by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. CryoLife’s future financial performance could differ significantly from the expectations of management and from results expressed or implied in the press release. Please refer to the last paragraph of the text portion of the press release for further discussion about forward-looking statements. For further information on risk factors, please refer to “Risk Factors” contained in CryoLife’s Form 10-K filed on February 17, 2012 for the year ended December 31, 2011 and its subsequent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, as well as in the press release attached as Exhibit 99.1 hereto. CryoLife disclaims any obligation or duty to update or modify these forward-looking statements.
