Company officials stated ConMed refinanced a portion of outstanding debt during the quarter, issuing new convertible notes from the proceeds to pay off a majority of the existing 2024 notes. The move locked in an interest rate of 2.25 percent through May 2027.
ConMed reported a loss per share of $5.65 compared with earnings per share of 41 cents for the same quarter last year.
The company closed June 13 on its $145-million acquisition of In2Bones, a Memphis-based medical-device manufacturer and distributer specializing in products for the hand, wrist, elbow, foot, and ankle.
