Costs of revenues as a percentage of revenues for the second quarter of 2011 was 66% compared to 63% in the second quarter of 2010.

Senior Unsecured Notes
On July 19, 2011, the Company closed on a private offering of $250.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 9.0% senior notes due 2019 (the "Notes"). The Notes were issued at a price of 100% of their principal amount. The Notes are senior unsecured obligations of ExamWorks and are guaranteed by ExamWorks' existing and future U.S. subsidiaries.
The gross proceeds of $250.0 million were used to repay borrowings outstanding under our senior credit facility, pay related fees and expenses, and for general corporate purposes, including acquisitions.
Commentary
Commenting on today's earnings announcement, Richard E. Perlman, Executive Chairman of ExamWorks, said: "We are pleased to share the results of our strong financial performance this quarter which continues to validate the strength and momentum of our business model. ExamWorks revenues have doubled since the IPO; and EBITDA has grown even faster. We believe that ExamWorks is ideally positioned to sustain this high-growth rate given our track record of successful execution. Moreover, having just closed our recent bond offering of $250.0 million in notes, we have the financial resources to fund our acquisition strategy and continue to create exceptional shareholder value with minimal dilution to our current shareholders.
James K. Price, Chief Executive Officer of ExamWorks, said: "Our financial performance is a clear indication that we are successfully executing our strategy. The underlying ideas of economies of scale; world class infrastructure; and disciplined operating standards are, without doubt, delivering results while constituting a solid platform for the future."
Business Outlook
ExamWorks is providing the following updated business outlook for fiscal year 2011:
-
Fiscal year 2011 reported revenue is expected to be $405 million to $415 million, including the expected results of MES, National IME and Premex from the date of acquisition, but excluding the effect of expected future acquisitions during 2011.
-
Fiscal year 2011 reported Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be $74 million to $80 million, including the expected results of MES, National IME and Premex from the date of acquisition, but excluding the effect of expected future acquisitions during 2011. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure, the use of which by ExamWorks is described below. The reconciliation to GAAP measures of reported 2011 Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be calculated and presented in a manner consistent with the reconciliation set forth below with respect to the three and six months ended June 30, 2011.
-
The Company expects to acquire a minimum of $40 million of annual revenue during the balance of 2011. This will result in acquired revenues of at least $265 million since the IPO, reaching the Company's stated goal of $250 million of acquired revenues in 2011, 2012 and 2013 well ahead of the original timeline. Including the $40 million of additional acquired revenue, we expect to end 2011 with pro forma revenues in excess of $500 million. Pro forma revenues assume that all 2011 acquisitions were completed on January 1, 2011. The potential transaction disclosed on July 8, 2011 is still under evaluation and negotiation but may not occur. Our acquisition guidance for the remainder of this year is irrespective of this transaction. We have not and have no intention of announcing the signing or termination of letters of intent in the future.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In connection with the ongoing operation of our business, our management regularly reviews Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, to assess our performance. We define Adjusted EBITDA as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, acquisition-related transaction costs, share-based compensation expenses, and other non-recurring costs. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA is an important measure of our operating performance because it allows management, lenders, investors and analysts to evaluate and assess our core operating results from period to period after removing the impact of changes to our capitalization structure, acquisition related costs, income tax status, and other items of a non-operational nature that affect comparability.
We believe that various forms of the Adjusted EBITDA metric are often used by analysts, investors and other interested parties to evaluate companies such as ours for the reasons discussed above. Additionally, Adjusted EBITDA is used to measure certain financial covenants in our credit facility. Adjusted EBITDA is also used for planning purposes and in presentations to our Board of Directors as well as in our incentive compensation programs for our employees, excluding our senior management.
Non-GAAP information should not be construed as an alternative to GAAP information, as the items excluded from the non-GAAP measures often have a material impact on our financial results. Management uses, and investors should use, non-GAAP measures in conjunction with our GAAP results.
Below is a table presenting a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net loss, the most comparable GAAP measure, for each of the periods indicated.
