NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Unaudited
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for
interim financial information (Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 270, Interim Reporting)
and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do
not include all of the information necessary for a fair presentation of financial position,
results of operations, and cash flows in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America. Operating results for interim periods are not
necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the fiscal year as a whole. In the
opinion of management, the condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments
(consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the
results of Greatbatch, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary Greatbatch Ltd. (collectively
Greatbatch or the Company) for the periods presented. The preparation of financial
statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts
of assets, liabilities, sales, expenses, and related disclosures at the date of the financial
statements and during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from these
estimates. The January 1, 2010 condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived from
audited consolidated financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. For further
information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Companys
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 1, 2010. The Company utilizes a
fifty-two, fifty-three week fiscal year ending on the Friday nearest December 31st. For 52-week
years, each quarter contains 13 weeks. The third quarter of 2010 and 2009 each contained 13
weeks and ended on October 1, and October 2, respectively.

Revolving Line of Credit The Company has a senior credit facility (the Credit Facility)
consisting of a $235 million revolving credit facility, which can be increased to $335 million
upon the Companys request and approval by a majority of the lenders. The Credit Facility also
contains a $15 million letter of credit subfacility and a $15 million swingline subfacility. In
connection with the Electrochem Litigation described in Note 10 Commitments and Contingencies,
the Company was required to bond the amount of the judgment and statutory interest awarded in
order to appeal. The Company satisfied this requirement by posting a bond, which required
collateralization. The Company received approval from the lenders supporting the Credit
Facility to increase the letter of credit subfacility by up to $35 million for use only in
connection with bonding the appeal of the Electrochem Litigation, of which $23 million was being
utilized as of October 1, 2010.
The Credit Facility is secured by the Companys non-realty assets including cash, accounts
receivable and inventories, and has an expiration date of May 22, 2012 with a one-time option to
extend to April 1, 2013 at the Companys option if no default has occurred. Interest rates
under the Credit Facility are, at the Companys option, based upon the current Base Rate, as
defined in the credit agreement, or LIBOR rate plus a margin that varies with the Companys
leverage ratio, as defined in the credit agreement for the Credit Facility. If interest is paid
based upon the Base Rate, the applicable margin is between minus 1.25% and 0.00%. If interest
is paid based upon the LIBOR rate, the applicable margin is between 1.00% and 2.00%. The
Company is required to pay a fee on its outstanding letter of credit equal to a margin between
1.125% and 2.125%, depending on the Companys leverage ratio, as defined in the credit
agreement. The Company is also required to pay a commitment fee between 0.125% and 0.250% per
annum on the unused portion of the Credit Facility based on the Companys leverage ratio, as
defined in the credit agreement.
The Credit Facility contains limitations on the incurrence of indebtedness, liens and licensing
of intellectual property, investments and certain payments. Except to the extent paid by the
issuance of common stock of Greatbatch or paid out of cash on hand, the Credit Facility limits
the amount paid for acquisitions in total to $100 million. The restrictions on payments, among
other things, limit repurchase of Greatbatch stock to $60 million and limit the ability of the
Company to make cash payments upon conversion of its convertible subordinated notes. These
limitations can be waived upon the Companys request and approval of a simple majority of the
lenders.

The Credit Facility requires the Company to maintain a ratio of adjusted EBITDA, as defined in
the credit agreement, to interest expense of at least 3.00 to 1.00, and a total leverage ratio,
as defined in the credit agreement, of not greater than 4.50 to 1.00. The calculation of
adjusted EBITDA and leverage ratio exclude non-cash charges, as well as charges in connection
with the Electrochem Litigation up to $35 million. As of October 1, 2010, the Company was in
compliance with all covenants.
The Credit Facility contains customary events of default. Upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of an event of default, a majority of the lenders may declare the outstanding
advances and all other obligations under the Credit Facility immediately due and payable.
The weighted average interest rate on borrowings under the Companys revolving line of credit as
of October 1, 2010, which does not include the impact of the interest rate swaps described
below, was 1.74%. As of October 1, 2010, the Company had $141 million of borrowing capacity
available under the Credit Facility. This amount may vary from period to period based upon the
debt levels of the Company as well as the level of EBITDA which impacts the covenant
calculations described above. The interest rate on the $23 million letter of credit outstanding
as of October 1, 2010 was 1.125%.
Interest Rate Swaps The Company has entered into two receive floating, pay fixed
interest rate swaps indexed to the six-month LIBOR rate. The objective of these swaps is to
hedge against potential changes in cash flows on the Companys outstanding revolving line of
credit, which is also indexed to the six-month LIBOR rate. No credit risk was hedged. The
receive variable leg of the swap and the variable rate paid on the revolving line of credit bear
the same rate of interest, excluding the credit spread, and reset and pay interest on the same
dates. The Company intends to continue electing the six-month LIBOR as the benchmark interest
rate on the debt being hedged. If the Company repays the debt, it intends to replace the hedged
item with similarly indexed cash flows.

The estimated fair value of the interest rate swap agreements represents the amount the
Company would have to pay to terminate the contracts. No portion of the change in fair value of
the interest rate swaps during the 2010 or 2009 periods was considered ineffective. The amount
recorded as additional Interest Expense related to the interest rate swaps for the third quarter
of 2010 and 2009 was $0.3 million and $0.4 million, respectively, and $1.5 million and $0.9
million, respectively, for the nine months ended October 1, 2010 and October 2, 2009.

Convertible Subordinated Notes In May 2003, the Company completed a private placement of $170
million of 2.25% convertible subordinated notes, due June 15, 2013 (CSN I). In March 2007,
the Company entered into separate, privately negotiated agreements to exchange $117.8 million of
CSN I for an equivalent principal amount of a new series of 2.25% convertible subordinated notes
due 2013 (CSN II) (collectively the Exchange) at a 5% discount. The primary purpose of the
Exchange was to eliminate the June 15, 2010 call and put option that was included in the terms
of CSN I. In connection with the Exchange, the Company issued an additional $80 million
aggregate principal amount of CSN II at a price of $950 per $1,000 of principal. In December
2008, the Company entered into privately negotiated agreements under which it repurchased $21.8
million in aggregate principal amount of its outstanding CSN I at $845.38 per $1,000 of
principal. The primary purpose of this transaction was to retire the notes, which contained a
put option exercisable on June 15, 2010, at a discount. During the second quarter of 2010, the
holders of the remaining $30.5 million of CSN I exercised their put option and these notes were
repaid with cash on hand.
CSN II bear interest at 2.25% per annum, payable semi-annually, and are due on June 15, 2013.
The holders may convert the notes into shares of the Companys common stock at a conversion
price of $34.70 per share, which is equivalent to a conversion ratio of 28.8219 shares per
$1,000 of principal. The conversion price and the conversion ratio will adjust automatically
upon certain changes to the Companys capitalization. CSN II were issued at a price of $950 per
$1,000 of principal. The fair value of CSN II as of October 1, 2010 was approximately $185
million and is based on recent sales prices.
The effective interest rate of CSN II, which takes into consideration the amortization of the
discount and deferred fees related to the issuance of these notes is 8.5%. The discount on CSN
II is being amortized to the maturity date of the convertible notes utilizing the effective
interest method. As of October 1, 2010, the carrying amount of the discount related to the CSN
II conversion option value was $25.0 million. As of October 1, 2010, the if-converted value of
the CSN II notes does not exceed their principal amount as the Companys closing stock price of
$22.84 per share did not exceed the conversion price of $34.70 per share.
The contractual interest and discount amortization for CSN II were as follows (in

The notes are convertible at the option of the holders at such time as: (i) the closing price of
the Companys common stock exceeds 150% of the conversion price of the notes for 20 out of 30
consecutive trading days; (ii) the trading price per $1,000 of principal is less than 98% of the
product of the closing sale price of common stock for each day during any five consecutive
trading day period and the conversion rate per $1,000 of principal; (iii) the notes have been
called for redemption; (iv) the Company distributes to all holders of common stock rights or
warrants entitling them to purchase additional shares of common stock at less than the average
closing price of common stock for the ten trading days immediately preceding the announcement of
the distribution; (v) the Company distributes to all holders of common stock any form of
dividend which has a per share value exceeding 5% of the price of the common stock on the day
prior to such date of distribution; (vi) the Company effects a consolidation, merger, share
exchange or sale of assets pursuant to which its common stock is
converted to cash or other property; (vii) the period beginning 60 days prior to but excluding
June 15, 2013; and (viii) certain fundamental changes, as defined in the indenture agreement,
occur or are approved by the Board of Directors.
Conversions in connection with corporate transactions that constitute a fundamental change
require the Company to pay a premium make-whole amount, based upon a predetermined table as set
forth in the indenture agreement, whereby the conversion ratio on the notes may be increased by
up to 7.4 shares per $1,000 of principal. The premium make-whole amount will be paid in shares
of common stock upon any such conversion, subject to the net share settlement feature of the
notes described below.
CSN II contains a net share settlement feature that requires the Company to pay cash for each
$1,000 of principal to be converted. Any amounts in excess of $1,000 will be settled in shares
of the Companys common stock, or at the Companys option, cash. The Company has a one-time
irrevocable election to pay the holders in shares of its common stock, which it currently does
not plan to exercise.
The notes are redeemable by the Company at any time on or after June 20, 2012, or at the option
of a holder upon the occurrence of certain fundamental changes, as defined in the indenture
agreement, affecting the Company. The notes are subordinated in right of payment to all of our
senior indebtedness and effectively subordinated to all debts and other liabilities of the
Companys subsidiaries.

6. PENSION PLANS
The Company is required to provide its employees located in Switzerland and France certain
defined pension benefits. These benefits accrue to employees based upon years of service,
position, age and compensation. The defined benefit pension plan that provides benefits to the
Companys employees located in Switzerland is a funded contributory plan while the pension plan
that provides benefits to the Companys employees located in France is unfunded and
noncontributory. The liability and corresponding expense related to these pension plans is
based on actuarial computations of current and future benefits for employees. Pension expense
is charged to current operating expenses.

performance metrics are achieved. The amount of shares that ultimately vest range from 0 shares
to 257,243 shares based upon the total shareholder return of the Company relative to the
Companys compensation peer group, as disclosed in the Companys definitive proxy statement
filed on April 20, 2010, over a three year performance period beginning in the year of grant.
The fair value of the restricted stock units was determined by utilizing a Monte Carlo

(a) | 2007 & 2008 facility shutdowns and consolidations. In the first quarter of 2007, the Company announced that it would close its Electrochem manufacturing facility in Canton, MA and construct a new 81,000 square foot replacement facility in Raynham, MA. This initiative was not cost savings driven but capacity driven and was completed in the first quarter of 2009. |
In the second quarter of 2007, the Company announced that it would consolidate its corporate
offices in Clarence, NY into its existing research and development center also in Clarence, NY
after an expansion of that facility was complete. This expansion and relocation was completed
in the third quarter of 2008.

During the second and third quarters of 2008, the Company reorganized and consolidated various
general and administrative and research and development functions throughout the organization in
order to optimize those resources with the businesses it acquired in 2007 and 2008.
In the second half of 2008, the Company ceased manufacturing at its facility in Suzhou, China
(Electrochem), closed its leased manufacturing facility in Orchard Park, NY (Electrochem), and
consolidated its Saignelegier, Switzerland manufacturing facility (orthopaedics). The
operations of these facilities were relocated to existing facilities that had excess capacity.
In the fourth quarter of 2008, management approved a plan for the consolidation of its
Teterboro, NJ (Electrochem manufacturing), Blaine, Minnesota (vascular manufacturing) and Exton,
Pennsylvania (orthopaedics corporate office) facilities into existing facilities that had excess
capacity. The Blaine, MN and Exton, PA consolidations were completed in the second quarter of
2009. The Teterboro, NJ initiative was substantially completed in the fourth quarter of 2009.
The total cost incurred for these facility shutdowns and consolidations was $17.0 million and
included the following:
a. | Severance and retention $4.4 million; |
b. | Production inefficiencies, moving and revalidation $5.2 million; |
c. | Accelerated depreciation and asset write-offs $5.0 million; |
d. | Personnel $0.7 million; and |
e. | Other $1.7 million. |
All categories of costs are considered to be cash expenditures, except accelerated depreciation
and asset write-offs. Costs incurred during 2010 relating to these initiatives primarily
related to the Electrochem business segment. For the nine months ended October 2, 2009, costs
relating to these initiatives of $1.5 million and $3.4 million were included in the Greatbatch
Medical and Electrochem business segments, respectively.
As a result of these consolidation initiatives, one Greatbatch Medical facility and one
Electrochem facility are classified as held for sale as of October 1, 2010. These facilities
are recorded at the lower of their carrying amount or estimated fair value less costs to sell.
These facilities had a carrying value of $3.4 million as of October 1, 2010 and were included in
Other Current Assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. The fair value of these
facilities is primarily determined by reference to recent sales data for comparable facilities
taking into consideration recent offers, if any, received from prospective buyers of the
facility, which is categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. During the third quarter
of 2010, the Company recognized a $0.2 million write down related to its Electrochem facility
($0.7 million year-to-date), as the estimated fair value less costs to sell was below the
recorded book value. During the fourth quarter of 2010, the Electrochem facility was sold and
no additional gain or loss was recorded. The Greatbatch Medical facility is expected to be sold
within the next year. During the first quarter of 2010, the Company sold its Saignelegier,
Switzerland facility for $1.1 million, which was previously classified as held for sale. No
gain or loss was recognized during 2010 related to this facility.

(b) | Integration costs. During 2010 and 2009, the Company incurred costs related to the integration of the companies acquired in 2007 and 2008. The integration initiatives include the implementation of the Oracle ERP system, training and compliance with Company policies as well as the implementation of lean manufacturing and six sigma initiatives. These expenses are primarily for consultants, relocation and travel costs that will not be required after the integrations are completed. | |
(c) | Asset dispositions and other. During 2010 and 2009, the Company recorded write-downs in connection with various asset disposals. |
9. INCOME TAXES
The income tax provision for interim periods is determined using an estimate of the annual
effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete items, if any, that are taken into account in the
relevant period. Each quarter, the estimate of the annual effective tax rate is updated, and if
the estimated effective tax rate changes, a cumulative adjustment is made. There is a potential
for volatility of the effective tax rate due to several factors, including changes in the mix of
the pre-tax income and the jurisdictions to which it relates, business acquisitions, settlements
with taxing authorities and foreign currency fluctuations.
During the third quarter of 2010, the balance of unrecognized tax benefits decreased by $0.9
million, primarily as a result of the reversal of uncertain tax positions due to the expiration
of the statute of limitations. Approximately $1.6 million of the balance of unrecognized tax
benefits would favorably impact the effective tax rate (net of federal benefit on state issues),
if recognized. It is reasonably possible that a reduction of approximately $1.0 million of the
balance of unrecognized tax benefits may occur within the next twelve months as a result of the
expiration of applicable statutes of limitation.

10. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Litigation The Company is a party to various legal actions arising in the normal course of
business. While the Company does not believe, except as indicated below, that the ultimate
resolution of any such pending actions will have a material adverse effect on its results of
operations, financial position or cash flows, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties.
If an unfavorable ruling were to occur, there exists the possibility of a material adverse
impact in the period in which the ruling occurs.
As previously reported, the Company is appealing the September 2009 jury verdict in the
Input/Output Marine Systems action against the Company (Electrochem Litigation). During the
appeal process, interest on the judgment is being accrued based upon the Louisiana statutory
rate, which is currently 3.75% per annum. The amount of interest that has accrued on this
judgment through October 1, 2010 is $0.6 million.
In August 2010, Pressure Products Medical Supplies, Inc. (Pressure Products) and the Company
settled the previously reported patent infringement action filed by Pressure Products. In
exchange for a cash payment by the Company, Pressure Products agreed not to sue on the products
at issue in that case. The settlement agreement eliminated any restrictions on the Companys
ability to sell its FlowGuardTM and OptiSealTM Introducer products. As
part of the settlement, the litigation commenced by the Company against Pressure Products was
also dismissed.
Product Warranties The Company generally warrants that its products will meet customer
specifications and will be free from defects in materials and workmanship. The Company accrues
its estimated exposure to warranty claims based upon recent historical experience and other
specific information as it becomes available.
The change in aggregate product warranty liability for the quarter is as follows (in
thousands):

Purchase Commitments Contractual obligations for purchase of goods or services are defined as
agreements that are enforceable and legally binding on the Company and that specify all
significant terms, including: fixed or minimum quantities to be purchased; fixed, minimum or
variable price provisions; and the approximate timing of the transaction. Our purchase orders
are normally based on our current manufacturing needs and are fulfilled by our vendors within
short time horizons. We enter into blanket orders with vendors that have preferred pricing and
terms, however these orders are normally cancelable by us without penalty. As of October 1,
2010, the total contractual obligation related to such expenditures is approximately $14.0
million and will be financed by existing cash and cash equivalents or cash generated from
operations over the next twelve months. We also enter into contracts for outsourced services;
however, the obligations under these contracts were not significant and the contracts generally
contain clauses allowing for cancellation without significant penalty.

Operating Leases The Company is a party to various operating lease agreements for buildings,
equipment and software. Minimum future annual operating lease payments are $0.8 million for the
remainder of 2010; $2.1 million in 2011; $1.9 million in 2012; $1.8 million in 2013; $1.9
million in 2014 and $6.4 million thereafter. The Company primarily leases buildings, which
accounts for the majority of the future lease payments.
Foreign Currency Contracts In February 2009, the Company entered into forward contracts to
purchase 10 million Mexican pesos per month from March 2009 to December 2009 at an exchange rate
of 14.85 pesos per one U.S. dollar. These contracts were entered into in order to hedge the
risk of peso-denominated payments associated with the operations at the Companys Tijuana,
Mexico facility for 2009. These contracts were accounted for as cash flow hedges. The amount
recorded as a reduction of Cost of Sales during the nine months ended October 2, 2009 related to
these forward contracts was $0.3 million.
In December 2009, the Company entered into forward contracts to purchase 6.6 million Mexican
pesos per month from January 2010 to December 2010 at an exchange rate of 13.159 pesos per one
U.S. dollar. In February 2010, the Company entered into forward contracts to purchase an
additional 3.3 million Mexican pesos per month from February 2010 to December 2010 at an
exchange rate of 13.1595 pesos per one U.S. dollar. These contracts were entered into in order
to hedge a portion of the risk of peso-denominated payments associated with the operations at
the Companys Tijuana, Mexico facility for 2010 and are being accounted for as cash flow hedges.
In July 2010, the Company entered into a forward contract to purchase 6.6 million Mexican pesos
per month from January 2011 to December 2011 at an exchange rate of 13.2231 pesos per one U.S.
dollar. This contract was entered into in order to hedge the risk of peso-denominated payments
associated with a portion of the operations at the Companys Tijuana, Mexico facility for 2011
and will be accounted for as a cash flow hedge.
As of October 1, 2010, these contracts had a positive fair value of $0.3 million, which is
recorded within Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets and Other Assets in the Condensed
Consolidated Balance Sheet. The amount recorded as a reduction of Cost of Sales during the nine
months ended October 1, 2010 related to these forward contracts was $0.4 million. No portion of
the change in fair value of the Companys foreign currency contracts during the nine months
ended October 1, 2010 or October 2, 2009 was considered ineffective.
Self-Insured Medical Plan In an attempt to help offset the cost of rising health care
expenses, in 2010, the Company began self-funding the medical insurance coverage for all of its
U.S. based employees. The risk to the Company is being limited through the use of stop loss
insurance which has annual deductibles in the amount of $0.2 million per covered participant and
$9.9 million in the aggregate. The maximum benefit for aggregate losses is $1.0 million per
year and $4.8 million for specific individual losses per life-time. As of October 1, 2010, the
Company has $2.9 million accrued related to the self-insurance of its medical plan, which is
recorded as Accrued Expenses and Other Current Liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance
Sheet, and is based upon prior years claim history.

12. COMPREHENSIVE INCOME (LOSS)
The Companys Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) as reported in the Condensed
Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) includes net income
(loss), foreign currency translation gains and unrealized gains (losses) on cash flow hedges.
The Company translates all assets and liabilities of its foreign subsidiaries, where the U.S.
dollar is not the functional currency, at the period-end exchange rate and translates income and
expenses at the average exchange rates in effect during the period. The net effect of these
translation adjustments is recorded in the condensed consolidated financial statements as
Comprehensive Income (Loss). Translation adjustments are not adjusted for income taxes as they
relate to permanent investments in the Companys foreign subsidiaries.
The Company has designated its interest rate swaps and foreign currency contracts (See Note 5
Debt and Note 10 Commitments and Contingencies) as cash flow hedges. Accordingly, the
effective portion of any change in the fair value of these instruments is recorded in
comprehensive income (loss), net of tax, and reclassified into earnings (Interest Expense Swaps, Cost of Sales FX Contracts) in the same period or periods during which the hedged
transaction affects earnings. Gains and losses on the derivative representing hedge
ineffectiveness are recognized in current earnings.

Asset held for sale Assets held for sale are recorded at the lower of their carrying
amount or estimated fair value less cost to sell. For the property written-down in the third
quarter of 2010, the fair value was primarily determined by reference to recent offers received
from prospective buyers of the facility. The Companys assets held for sale that are recorded
at fair value are categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Foreign currency contracts The fair value of foreign currency contracts are determined
through the use of cash flow models that utilize observable market data inputs to estimate fair
value. These observable market data inputs include foreign exchange rate and credit spread
curves. In addition to the above, the Company receives fair value estimates from the foreign
currency contract counterparty to verify the reasonableness of the Companys estimates. The
Companys foreign currency contracts are categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Interest rate swaps The fair value of interest rate swaps are determined through the
use of cash flow models that utilize observable market data inputs to estimate fair value.
These observable market data inputs include LIBOR and swap rates, and credit spread curves. In
addition to the above, the Company receives fair value estimates from the interest rate swap
counterparty to verify the reasonableness of the Companys estimates. The Companys interest
rate swaps are categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Convertible subordinated notes The fair value of the Companys convertible
subordinated notes disclosed in Note 5 Debt was determined based upon recent third-party
transactions for the Companys notes in an inactive market. The Companys convertible
subordinated notes are valued for disclosure purposes utilizing Level 2 measurements of the fair
value hierarchy.
Cost method investments The Company holds certain cost method investments that are
measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis in periods subsequent to initial recognition.
The fair value of a cost method investment is only estimated if there are identified events or
changes in circumstances that indicate impairment may be present. The aggregate carrying amount
of our cost method investments included in Other Assets was $11.9 million as of October 1, 2010
and January 1, 2010.

15. IMPACT OF RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In the normal course of business, management evaluates all new accounting pronouncements issued
by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, Securities and Exchange Commission, Emerging Issues
Task Force, American Institute of Certified Public Accountants or other authoritative accounting
bodies to determine the potential impact they may have on the Companys Condensed Consolidated
Financial Statements. Based upon this review, management does not expect any of the recently
issued accounting pronouncements, which have not already been adopted, to have a material impact
on the Companys Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
ITEM 2. | MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS |
Our Business
We operate our business in two reportable segments Greatbatch Medical and Electrochem Solutions
(Electrochem). Greatbatch Medical designs and manufactures systems, components and devices for
the cardiac rhythm management (CRM), neuromodulation, vascular and orthopaedics markets.
Greatbatch Medical customers include large multi-national original equipment manufacturers
(OEMs). Greatbatch Medical products include: 1) batteries, capacitors, filtered and unfiltered
feedthroughs, engineered components and enclosures used in implantable medical devices (IMDs); 2)
introducers, catheters, steerable sheaths and implantable stimulation leads; and 3) instruments and
delivery systems used in reconstructive, trauma and spine surgeries as well as hip, knee and
shoulder implants. Additionally, Greatbatch Medical offers value-added assembly and design
engineering services for medical systems and devices within the markets in which it operates.
Electrochem provides technology solutions for critical industrial applications, including
customized battery power and wireless sensing systems. Originating from the lithium cell invented
for the implantable pacemaker by our Companys founder, Wilson Greatbatch, Electrochems technology
and superior quality and reliability is utilized in markets world-wide.
Our Customers
Greatbatch Medical customers include leading OEMs, in alphabetical order here and throughout
this report, such as Biotronik, Boston Scientific, DePuy, Johnson & Johnson, Medtronic, Smith &
Nephew, Sorin Group, St. Jude Medical, Stryker and Zimmer. The nature and extent of our selling
relationships with each OEM varies in terms of breadth of products purchased, purchased product
volumes, length of contractual commitment, ordering patterns, inventory management and selling
prices. During the nine months ended October 1, 2010, Boston Scientific, Johnson & Johnson,
Medtronic and St. Jude Medical collectively accounted for 60% of our total sales.

Table of Contents
The initial term of our supply agreement with Boston Scientific pursuant to which Boston Scientific
purchases a certain percentage of the batteries, capacitors, filtered feedthroughs and case halves
it uses in its IMDs ends on December 31, 2010. We are actively negotiating a follow-on to this
agreement with expected completion during 2010 and do not expect an interruption in supply to the
customer. Additionally, the new agreement may include products from our vascular systems platform.
Our Electrochem customers operate in the energy, security, portable medical and environmental
monitoring markets and include 3M, Halliburton, Honeywell, Weatherford and Zoll Medical.
Financial Overview
Third quarter 2010 sales grew 5% over the prior year to $127.5 million, reflecting improvements in
our vascular, orthopaedics and Electrochem markets, which were negatively impacted in the 2009
period by customer inventory adjustments and a contraction in the underlying markets which have now
begun to ease. For the first nine months of 2010, sales of $400 million were 1% higher than the
prior year period as improvements in Electrochem revenue were partially offset by the slowdown in
the CRM market, which caused customers to reduce inventory levels.
We prepare our financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in
the United States of America (GAAP). Additionally, we consistently report and discuss in our
quarterly earnings releases and investor presentations adjusted operating income and margin,
adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per diluted share. These adjusted amounts consist of
GAAP amounts excluding the following adjustments to the extent they occur during the period: (i)
acquisition-related charges; (ii) facility consolidation; manufacturing transfer and system
integration charges; (iii) asset write-down and disposition charges; (iv) litigation charges; (v)
the non-cash impact of accounting changes, (vi) unusual or non-routine gains/charges that are not
expected to reoccur and (vii) the income tax provision (benefit) related to these adjustments. We
believe that reporting these amounts provides important supplemental information to our investors
and creditors seeking to understand the financial and business trends relating to our financial
condition and results of operations. Additionally, performance-based compensation of our executive
management is determined utilizing these adjusted amounts.
GAAP operating income for the third quarter and year-to-date periods of 2010 were above the
comparable prior year periods. Prior year GAAP results included a $34.5 million litigation charge
related to a jury verdict against our Electrochem subsidiary as well as a higher level of
consolidation and integration charges as those projects, which took place during 2009, were
substantially completed by the end of that year. Selling, general and administrative expenses
(SG&A) for the 2010 third quarter included $0.9 million in death benefits provided to the family
of the Companys former Senior Vice President Orthopaedics. Adjusted operating income, which
excludes these charges, was $14.4 million, or 11.3% of sales, in the third quarter of 2010,
compared to $13.6 million, or 11.2% of sales, for the comparable 2009 period. Adjusted operating
income for the first three quarters of 2010 was $47.2 million or 11.8% of sales compared to $46.1
million or 11.7% of sales for the comparable 2009 period. These increases were primarily due to
higher gross profit levels, partially offset by an increase in net research, development and
engineering costs (RD&E), which, as expected, were higher in the current year period due to
further investment in the development of new technologies, including systems level projects, in
order to create long-term growth opportunities. Additionally, adjusted operating income benefited
in the 2010 periods from a lower level of SG&A due to our various consolidation and cost reduction
initiatives that we have implemented over the last two years.

This higher level of GAAP and adjusted operating income for the 2010 periods was offset by a
higher effective tax rate than the prior year periods due to a higher level of discrete tax items
during the 2009 periods and the expiration of the U.S. R&D tax credit at the end of 2009. The 2010
GAAP and adjusted effective tax rates benefitted from higher income from lower foreign tax rate
jurisdictions. As a result, GAAP diluted earnings per share (EPS) was $0.25 per share and $0.82
per share for the third quarter and year-to-date period of 2010, respectively, compared to a loss
of $0.90 per share and $0.33 per share for the comparable 2009 periods. Adjusted diluted EPS was
$0.34 per share and $1.06 per share for the third quarter and year-to-date period of 2010,
respectively, compared to $0.32 per share and $1.12 per share for the comparable 2009 periods.

Cash flows from operations for the third quarter of 2010 were $28 million and helped fund the
repayment of $27 million on our outstanding line of credit. For the year, we have generated $72
million of cash flow from operations and repaid $57 million of debt. We currently expect that cash
flow from operations will continue to be used to support routine capital expenditures, further pay
down debt and fund our research and development projects.
Our CEOs View
Given the challenging market dynamics, we are pleased with our third quarter financial results.
Similar to our peers and customers, we began to see the impact of a slow-down in the cardiac rhythm
management market during the third quarter. More broadly speaking, growth rates for all of our
medical markets are below what was originally anticipated at the beginning of the year, and these
difficult market conditions are expected to persist for the foreseeable future. That said, as a
result of our diversification strategy, we were able to increase our revenue over the prior year as
our vascular, orthopaedics and Electrochem product lines continued to recover. Taking all of this
into consideration, we continue to expect our 2010 sales results will be within our original
guidance, albeit at the lower end of the range.
As expected, our investment in research, development and engineering increased over the prior year,
which was partially funded by a reduced level of adjusted selling, general and administrative
costs. As we progress through the remainder of the year, we are mindful of the challenging
industry environment and will continue to tightly manage our operating expenses. However, we also
intend to continue to invest in our long-term future by developing innovative solutions for our
customers. This includes furthering the progress already made in the development of systems and
device level projects, which will drive future growth and long-term shareholder value.
Government Regulation
In March 2010, President Obama signed into law the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and
the Health Care and Education Affordability Reconciliation Act (collectively Health Care Reform)
legislating broad-based changes to the U.S. health care system. Health Care Reform could
significantly impact our business operations and financial results, including higher or lower
revenue, as well as higher employee medical costs and taxes. Many significant parts of the
legislation will be phased in over the next eight years and require further guidance and
clarification in the form of regulations. As a result, many of the impacts of Health Care Reform
will not be known until those regulations are enacted, which we expect to occur over the next
several years.
On January 11, 2010, the U.S. Department of Transportation, and the Pipeline and Hazardous
Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) issued a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, Hazardous
Materials: Transportation of Lithium Batteries in the federal register. PMHSA, in conjunction
with the Federal Aviation Administration is proposing to amend requirements in the hazardous
materials regulations on the transportation of lithium cells and batteries, including lithium cell
and batteries packed with or contained in equipment. The Company is actively monitoring this
rulemaking process because of the potential negative effect the rule, as currently proposed, could
have on our Greatbatch Medical and Electrochem businesses.
Product Development
Currently, we are developing a series of new products for customer applications in the CRM,
neuromodulation, vascular, orthopaedics and Electrochem markets. Some of the key development
initiatives include:
1. | To develop complete system and device solutions for our customers in the markets we operate in; | ||
2. | To continue development of MRI compatible leadwires and other neuromodulation products; |
- 28 -
Table of Contents
3. | To continue development of higher energy/higher density capacitors; | ||
4. | To integrate Biomimetic coating technology with our therapy delivery devices; | ||
5. | To complete the design of next generation steerable catheters, sheaths and introducers; | ||
6. | To further develop minimally invasive surgical techniques for the orthopaedics industry; | ||
7. | To develop disposable instrumentation for the orthopaedics industry; | ||
8. | To provide wireless sensing solutions to Electrochem customers; and | ||
9. | To develop a charging platform for Electrochems secondary offering. |
As a result of the investments we have made over the last two years, we are now in a position to
provide our customers with full system solutions. This includes providing comprehensive
products and services, from development and regulatory submissions through manufacturing and
supporting worldwide distribution. These systems are niche product solutions that complement our
OEM customers products and utilize our expertise and capabilities. This strategy includes
partnering with our OEM customers, including sharing technology and resources, in order to bring
these solutions to market. The benefits to our OEM customers include shortening the time to market
for these products by accelerating the velocity of innovation, optimizing their supply chain and
ultimately providing them with cost efficiencies.
As previously disclosed, on March 15, 2010 Greatbatch Medical received clearance from the U.S. Food
and Drug Administration for its OptiSeal Valved PTFE Peelable Introducer. We have also received
approval in Canada and OptiSeal is CE marked for distribution in Europe. OptiSeal represents the
first 510(k) regulatory clearance received under the Greatbatch Medical brand and is a result of
the significant investments made over the last few years.
OptiSeal represents the type of niche system level products that we are trying to provide. That
is, products that are complementary to the core products of our customers and utilize our expertise
and capabilities. OptiSeal was developed in collaboration with our OEM customers, leverages our
technology and provides our customers with value-added innovative features.
We estimate that the market opportunity for the OptiSeal project is approximately $10 $20
million of annual revenue. Additionally, it provides us with an opportunity for expansion into the
vascular and peripheral access markets. In the fourth quarter of 2010 we expect to finalize
distribution agreements with our customers and OptiSeal will begin to provide a return on the R&D
investment we have made over the last two years.
We expect to be able to make additional product announcements over the next several quarters after
510(k) regulatory clearance is received. The initial product announcements are expected to center
around systems we are developing for the vascular market but longer-term will include our CRM,
neuromodulation, orthopaedics and Electrochem markets. Ultimately our goal is to establish a
cadence of system level product announcements similar to the OptiSeal Introducer program that will
help us achieve our stated goal of growing revenue faster than the underlying markets we serve.
Cost Savings and Consolidation Efforts
In 2010 and 2009 we recorded charges in Other Operating Expenses, Net in the Condensed Consolidated
Statements of Operations related to cost savings and consolidation efforts initiated in 2007 and
2008. These initiatives were undertaken to improve our operational efficiencies and profitability.
Additional information regarding the timing, cash flow and amount of future expenditures is set
forth in Note 8 Other Operating Expenses, Net of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated

Greatbatch Medical CRM and neuromodulation sales for the third quarter of 2010 declined 6%
compared to the prior year period. This decrease was primarily due to the slow-down in the
underlying CRM market, which caused customers to reduce inventory levels. Additionally, CRM
results were impacted by continued pricing pressure, as well as the timing of orders between the
second and third quarter of 2010. We estimate that the impact of the timing of these orders
increased second quarter sales and reduced third quarter sales by approximately $2 million. For
the year, our CRM and neuromodulation revenue is down slightly from the prior year as the benefit
of further adoption of the Companys Q series batteries as well as higher capacitor and assembly
revenue, were offset by lower feedthrough sales, as the 2009 period included the benefit of
customer product launches.
Our visibility to customer ordering patterns is over a relatively short period of time. Our
customers have inventory management programs, alternative supply arrangements, vertical integration
plans and the relative market share among the OEM manufacturers changes continuously.
Additionally, we face pricing pressures from our customers and in particular our four largest OEM
customers upon which a significant portion of our sales is dependent. These pressures have
increased as of late due to the downturn in the economy, and more specifically, the CRM markets.
Consequently, these and other factors significantly impact our sales and will continue to
significantly impact our sales in the future. As we move into 2011, we expect that these difficult
market conditions will persist. However, we are working to offset the impact of these conditions
with the launch of new systems and device projects, particularly within our vascular product line.
Third quarter 2010 sales for the vascular product line increased 8% to $9.1 million, compared to
prior year sales of $8.4 million. This increase was primarily due to higher introducer sales as
customer inventory reduction programs, which began in 2009, are now complete. For the year-to-date
period, vascular sales were consistent with the prior year. We expect ordering patterns to now
return to a more normalized rate.
Orthopaedic product line sales of $28.0 million for the third quarter 2010 were 21% above the $23.2
million for the comparable 2009 period. This increase was across all of our products as we
continued to see a recovery in the orthopaedics market and our investments and expanded
capabilities have begun to deliver new business. We delivered this strong performance despite the
weaker euro exchange rate, which reduced third quarter orthopaedic sales by approximately $1.0
million compared to the prior year. This foreign currency impact began to ease towards the end of
the third quarter and is not expected to materially impact revenue in the fourth quarter, assuming
of course, that exchange rates remain at their current levels. In comparison to the 2010 second
quarter, sales decreased 8% primarily due to seasonal facility shutdowns in our European
operations. For the year-to-date period, orthopaedic sales were consistent with the prior year.

Table of Contents
Electrochem Third quarter 2010 sales for the Electrochem business segment were a record
$21.0 million compared to $15.8 million in the third quarter 2009. The increase from the prior year
primarily related to the continued recovery in the energy and portable medical markets and
customers restocking inventory. We estimate that the impact of this inventory restocking was to
increase sales in the second and third quarters of 2010 by approximately $3 million dollars in each
quarter. We do not expect this inventory restocking to reoccur in the fourth quarter and have
already begun to see a reduced level of orders. For the first three quarters of 2010, Electrochem
revenue increased 19% to $59.0 million primarily due to the same factors discussed above.
2010 Sales Outlook At the beginning of the year, we provided our expectations for annual 2010
sales growth by each of our major product lines. These growth rates equated to consolidated annual
sales in the range of approximately $532 million to $551 million for 2010. Due to slower
underlying market growth for our Greatbatch Medical segment, we now expect to be at the lower end
of this range. This guidance assumes that our CRM and neuromodulation revenue growth will be flat
in comparison to last year and that our 2010 Electrochem revenue growth will be slightly above the
0%-5% range provided at the beginning of the year.
Gross Profit
Changes to gross profit as a percentage of sales from the prior year were due to the following:

0.7 | % | 0.8 | % | ||||
(a) | Our gross profit percentage was negatively impacted from excess capacity costs driven by the lower volumes in comparison to the 2009 periods, which more than offset productivity gains from our consolidation and integration initiatives. In accordance with our inventory accounting policy, excess capacity costs are expensed. | |
(b) | Our gross profit percentage was negatively impacted due to contractual volume price reductions and price concessions made to our larger OEM customers on certain product lines. We expect this pricing pressure to continue in the future. | |
(c) | Our gross profit percentage was positively impacted from an increase in sales of higher margin products as a percentage of total sales, mainly in CRM and neuromodulation, vascular and Electrochem products. |
We expect that our gross profit margin will continue around the current level for the remainder of
the year. Over the long-term, we expect our gross profit margin to improve as more system and
device level products are introduced, which typically earn a higher margin.

As expected, net RD&E expenses for the quarter and year-to-date periods of 2010 were higher than
the comparable 2009 periods due to further investment in the development of new technologies,
including the development of systems and devices. Additionally, during 2010 we received a lower
level of customer cost reimbursements. These cost reimbursements can vary significantly from
period to period due to the timing of the achievement of milestones on development projects.
Excluding these customer cost reimbursements, RD&E was 9.7% of sales for the first nine months of
2010 compared to 8.3% of sales in the comparable 2009 period. We anticipate that the higher level
of RD&E investment will continue for the foreseeable future consistent with our long-term growth
strategy.

Our long-term growth strategy includes investing resources in new technologies, including system
and device level solutions for our customers. This strategy involves partnering with our OEM
customers, including sharing technology and resources, in order to bring these solutions to market.
The benefit to our OEM customers include shortening their time to market by accelerating the
velocity of innovation, optimizing their supply chain and ultimately providing them with cost
efficiencies. The timeline for approval of our vascular market systems projects is shorter than
for our other markets. As such, we anticipate making additional announcements, similar to the
OptiSealTM project discussed in the Product Development section of this report, over the
next several months.
Other Operating Expenses, Net
Litigation charge On October 1, 2009, a Louisiana jury found in favor of a former
Electrochem customer on their claims made in connection with a failed business transaction dating
back to 1997. As a result, we recorded a $34.5 million charge related to this litigation in the
third quarter of 2009.

(a) | In the 2010 and 2009 periods, we recorded charges related to our various cost savings and consolidation efforts initiated in 2007 and 2008. Over the long-term, we expect these initiatives to continue to positively impact operational efficiencies and profitability. During 2010, the Company recognized a $0.7 million write down related to its Electrochem facility ($0.2 million in the third quarter), as the estimated fair value less costs to sell was below the recorded book value. Additional information regarding the timing, cash flow and amount of future expenditures is discussed in Note 8 Other Operating Expenses, Net of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained in this report. At this time, we have completed all of our publicly announced consolidation initiatives. However, we continually analyze our business to find ways to improve our operational efficiency and we expect to take additional steps to drive further improvements, particularly with respect to the optimization of our orthopaedics product line. This optimization plan is expected to be ongoing for the next several years and includes investments in machinery and equipment as well as facilities. | |
(b) | During the 2010 and 2009 periods, we incurred costs related to the integration of the companies acquired in 2007 and 2008. The integration initiatives include the implementation of the Oracle ERP system, training and compliance with policies, as well as the implementation of lean manufacturing and six sigma initiatives. The expenses are primarily for consultants, relocation and travel costs that will not be required after the integrations are completed. | |
(c) | During the 2010 and 2009 periods, we recorded write-downs in connection with various asset disposals. |
In 2010, other operating expenses, net are expected to be approximately $4 to $6 million.

Interest Expense and Interest Income
Interest expense and interest income for the first three quarters of 2010 were relatively
consistent with the same periods of 2009 as the benefit of paying down our long-term debt with
excess cash flow from operations was offset by increased discount amortization and interest expense
associated with the Electrochem Litigation appeal. See Note 10 Commitments and Contingencies of
the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this report.
Other (Income) Expense, Net
Other (income) expense, net primarily includes the impact of foreign currency exchange rate
fluctuations on transactions denominated in foreign currencies.
Provision for Income Taxes
The effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended October 1, 2010 was 28.1% and 33.0%
respectively, versus the 27.9% and 31.0%, respectively, for the comparable 2009 periods. The
current period rate reflects a tax benefit from having higher income from operations outside the
U.S., which are taxed at rates lower than the U.S. statutory rate of 35%. This benefit was more
than offset by a lower amount of discrete tax items during the current year compared to 2009, as
well as the absence of the research and development tax credit, which expired at the end of 2009.
Pending legislation would retroactively reinstate the R&D tax credit to the beginning of 2010. We
estimate that if this legislation, were enacted in the fourth quarter of 2010 as currently
proposed, it would positively impact the full year effective tax rate by approximately 350 basis
points.
We believe that it is reasonably possible that a reduction of approximately $1.0 million of the
balance of unrecognized tax benefits may occur within the next twelve months as a result of the
expiration of applicable statutes of limitation, which would positively impact our effective tax
rate in the period of reduction.

Revolving Line of Credit We have a senior credit facility (the Credit Facility) consisting
of a $235 million revolving line of credit, which can be increased to $335 million upon our request
and approval by a majority of the lenders. The Credit Facility also contains a $15 million letter
of credit subfacility and a $15 million swingline subfacility. In connection with the Electrochem
Litigation, we were required to bond the amount of the judgment and statutory interest in order to
appeal. We satisfied this requirement by posting a bond, which required collateralization. We
received approval from the lenders supporting our Credit Facility to increase the letter of credit
subfacility by $35 million for use only in connection with bonding the appeal of the Electrochem
Litigation, of which $23 million was being utilized as of October 1, 2010. The Credit Facility is
secured by our non-realty assets including cash, accounts and notes receivable, and inventories,
and has an expiration date of May 22, 2012 with a one-time option to extend to April 1, 2013 at our
option if no default has occurred.
- 35 -
Table of Contents
The Credit Facility is supported by a consortium of six banks with no bank controlling more
than 26% of the facility. As of October 1, 2010, each bank supporting the Credit Facility has an
S&P credit rating of at least BBB- or better, which is considered investment grade.
The Credit Facility requires us to maintain a ratio of adjusted EBITDA, as defined in the credit
agreement, to interest expense of at least 3.00 to 1.00. For the twelve month period ending
October 1, 2010, our ratio of adjusted EBITDA to interest expense, calculated in accordance with
our credit agreement, was 9.8 to 1.00, well above the required limit. The Credit Facility also
requires us to maintain a total leverage ratio, as defined in the credit agreement, of not greater
than 4.50 to 1.00. As of October 1, 2010, our total leverage ratio, calculated in accordance with
our credit agreement, was 2.75 to 1.00, well below the required limit. The calculation of adjusted
EBITDA and leverage ratio exclude non-cash charges, as well as charges in connection with the
Electrochem Litigation up to a limit of $35 million.
The Credit Facility contains customary events of default. Upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of an event of default, a majority of the lenders may declare the outstanding advances
and all other obligations under the Credit Facility immediately due and payable. See Note 5 Debt
of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this report for a more detailed
description of the Credit Facility.
Cash flows from operations for the third quarter of 2010 were $28 million and helped fund the
repayment of $27 million on our outstanding line of credit. For the year, we have generated $72
million of cash flow from operations and repaid $57 million of debt. Based upon our current
capital needs, we anticipate utilizing free cash flow (cash flow from operations less capital
expenditures) to make principal payments on our long-term debt. As of October 1, 2010, we had $141
million of borrowing capacity available under the Credit Facility. This amount may vary from
period to period based upon our debt and EBITDA levels, which impacts the covenant calculations.
We believe that our cash flow from operations and the Credit Facility provide adequate liquidity to
meet our short- and long- term funding needs.
Operating activities Cash flows from operations for the first nine months of 2010 were $72.0
million compared to $50.2 million for the comparable 2009 period. The increase from the prior year
is primarily due to the timing of payments and lower consolidation and integrations costs as well
as our strategic initiative to lower working capital balances (i.e. accounts receivable and
inventory).
Investing activities Net cash used in investing activities for the first nine months of 2010 were
$9.3 million and was primarily related to maintenance capital expenditures. Our current
expectation is that capital spending for the remainder of 2010 will be in the range of $5 million
to $10 million, of which approximately half is discretionary in nature. These purchases relate to
routine maintenance investments to support our internal growth, as well as additional investment in
our orthopaedics business in order to further drive operational efficiencies.
We anticipate that cash on hand along with cash flow from operations and availability under our
revolving line of credit will be sufficient to fund these capital expenditures. Going forward, we
will continue to consider strategically targeted and opportunistic acquisitions.

Financing activities Net cash used in financing activities for the first nine months of 2010 were
$57.8 million. During the third quarter of 2010, we repaid $27 million on our outstanding line of
credit. For the year, we have repaid $57 million of debt. Going forward, we expect excess cash
flow to be used to pay down amounts outstanding under our revolving line of credit.
Capital Structure As of October 1, 2010, our capital structure consisted of $197.8 million of
convertible subordinated notes, $71.0 million of debt under our revolving line of credit and 23.3
million shares of common stock outstanding. Additionally, we had $43.0 million in cash and cash
equivalents, which is sufficient to meet our short-term operating cash needs. If necessary, we
have access to $141 million of borrowing capacity under our line of credit and are authorized to
issue up to 100 million shares of common stock and 100 million shares of preferred stock. The
market value of our outstanding common stock since our initial public offering has exceeded our
book value; accordingly, we believe that if needed we can access public markets to raise additional
capital. Our capital structure allows us to support our internal growth and provides liquidity for
corporate development initiatives. We continually assess our financing facilities and capital
structure to ensure liquidity and capital levels are sufficient to meet our strategic objectives.
In the future, we may adjust our capital structure as funding opportunities present themselves.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements within the meaning of Item 303(a)(4) of Regulation S-K.

(c) | See Note 6 Pension Plans of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this report for additional information about our pension plan obligations. These amounts do not include any potential future contributions to our pension plan that may be necessary if the rate of return earned on pension plan assets is not sufficient to fund the rate of increase of our pension liability. Future cash contributions may be required. As of January 1, 2010, the most recent valuation date, our actuarially determined pension benefit obligation exceeded the plans assets by $4.0 million. |

Table of Contents
This table does not reflect $1.6 million of unrecognized tax benefits as we are uncertain as to if
or when such amounts may be settled. Refer to Note 9 Income Taxes of the Notes to Condensed
Consolidated Financial Statements in this report for additional information about these
unrecognized tax benefits. Additionally, the table does not include any potential payments that
may be due in connection with the Electrochem Litigation (See Note 10 Commitments and
Contingencies of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained in this
report).
In an attempt to help offset the cost of rising health care expenses, beginning in 2010, we began
self-funding the medical insurance coverage for all of our U.S. based employees. Our risk is being
limited through the use of stop loss insurance which has deductibles in the amount of $0.2 million
per covered participant and $9.9 million in the aggregate per year. The maximum benefit for
aggregate losses is $1.0 million per year and $4.8 million per lifetime for specific individual
losses. As of October 1, 2010, we have $2.9 million accrued related to the self-insurance of our
medical plan, which is recorded as Accrued Expenses and Other Current Liabilities in the Condensed
Consolidated Balance Sheet and is not included in the contractual obligations table above.
Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In the normal course of business, we evaluate all new accounting pronouncements issued by the
Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB), Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Emerging
Issues Task Force (EITF), American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) or other
authoritative accounting body to determine the potential impact they may have on our Consolidated
Financial Statements. Based upon this review, we do not expect any of the recently issued
accounting pronouncements, which have not already been adopted, to have a material impact on the
Companys Consolidated Financial Statements.
Forward-Looking Statements
Some of the statements contained in this report and other written and oral statements made from
time to time by us and our representatives are not statements of historical or current fact. As
such, they are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. We have
based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations, which are subject to known and
unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions. They include statements relating to:
| future sales, expenses and profitability; | ||
| the future development and expected growth of our business and the markets we operate in; | ||
| our ability to successfully execute our business model and our business strategy; | ||
| our ability to identify trends within the implantable medical devices, medical components, and Electrochem markets and to offer products and services that meet the changing needs of those markets; | ||
| projected capital expenditures; and | ||
| trends in government regulation, including the impact of Health Care Reform and recent proposed federal regulations impacting the transportation of lithium batteries. |

You can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as may, will, should,
could, expects, intends, plans, anticipates, believes, estimates, predicts,
potential or continue or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. These
statements are only predictions. Actual events or results may differ materially from those
suggested by these forward-looking statements. In evaluating these statements and our prospects
generally, you should carefully consider the factors set forth below. All forward-looking
statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their
entirety by these cautionary factors and to others contained throughout this report. We are under
no duty to update any of the forward-looking statements after the date of this report or to conform
these statements to actual results.
Although it is not possible to create a comprehensive list of all factors that may cause actual
results to differ from the results expressed or implied by our forward-looking statements or that
may affect our future results, some of these factors include the following: dependence upon a
limited number of customers, product obsolescence, inability to market current or future products,
pricing pressure from customers, reliance on third party suppliers for raw materials, products and
subcomponents, fluctuating operating results, inability to maintain high quality standards for our
products, challenges to our intellectual property rights, product liability claims, inability to
successfully consummate and integrate acquisitions, unsuccessful expansion into new markets,
competition, inability to obtain licenses to key technology, regulatory changes or consolidation in
the healthcare industry, and other risks and uncertainties that arise from time to time as
described in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K and other periodic filings with the
Securities and Exchange Commission.
ITEM 3. | QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK. |
Foreign Currency We have significant foreign operations in France, Mexico and Switzerland, which
expose the Company to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations due to transactions denominated
in Euros, Pesos and Swiss Francs, respectively. We continuously evaluate our foreign currency risk
and will take action from time to time in order to best mitigate these risks, which includes the
use of various derivative instruments such as forward currency exchange contracts. See Note 10
Commitments and Contingencies of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this
report for additional information about our forward currency exchange contracts. A hypothetical
10% change in the value of the U.S. dollar in relation to our most significant foreign currency
exposures would have had an impact of approximately $8 million on our annual sales. This amount is
not indicative of the hypothetical net earnings impact due to partially offsetting impacts on cost
of sales and operating expenses in those currencies.
We translate all assets and liabilities of our foreign operations, where the U.S. dollar is not the
functional currency, at the period-end exchange rate and translate sales and expenses at the
average exchange rates in effect during the period. The net effect of these translation
adjustments is recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as Comprehensive Income
(Loss). The cumulative translation adjustment as of October 1, 2010 was an $8.9 million gain.
Translation adjustments are not adjusted for income taxes as they relate to permanent investments
in our foreign subsidiaries. Net foreign currency transaction gains and losses included in Other
Expense, Net amounted to a loss of $0.8 million and gain of $0.6 million for the first nine months
of 2010 and 2009, respectively. A hypothetical 10% change in the value of the U.S. dollar in
relation to our most significant foreign currency net assets would have had an impact of
approximately $10 million on our foreign net assets as of October 1, 2010.

Table of Contents
Interest Rate Swaps As of October 1, 2010, we had $71 million outstanding on our revolving line
of credit. Interest rates reset on this debt based upon the LIBOR rate, thus subjecting us to
interest rate risk. We entered into two receive floating-pay fixed interest rate swaps with a
total notional value of $68 million and indexed to the six-month LIBOR rate. The objective of
these swaps is to hedge against potential changes in cash flows on our outstanding revolving line
of credit. No credit risk was hedged. The receive variable leg of the swaps and the variable rate
paid on the revolving line of credit bear the same rate of interest, excluding the credit spread,
and reset and pay interest on the same dates. See Note 5 Debt of the Notes to Condensed
Consolidated Financial Statements in this report for additional information about our interest rate
swap contracts.
The estimated negative fair value of the interest rate swap contracts of $0.6 million as of October
1, 2010 represents the amount we would have to pay to terminate the contracts. No portion of the
change in fair value of the interest rate swaps during the 2010 or 2009 periods was considered
ineffective. The amount recorded as additional Interest Expense related to the interest rate swaps
for the third quarter of 2010 and 2009 was $0.3 million and $0.4 million, respectively, and $1.5
million and $0.9 million, respectively, for the nine months ended October 1, 2010 and October 2,
2009.
A hypothetical 10% change in the LIBOR interest rate would have an impact of approximately $0.005
million on our annual interest expense relating to the $71 million of floating rate revolving line
of credit debt outstanding as $3 million of that debt is not hedged by the interest rate swap
agreements we have in place.
ITEM 4. | CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES. |
a. Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.
Our management, including the principal executive officer and principal financial officer,
evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) related to the recording, processing, summarization and
reporting of information in our reports that we file with the SEC as of October 1, 2010. These
disclosure controls and procedures have been designed to provide reasonable assurance that material
information relating to us, including our subsidiaries, is made known to our management, including
these officers, by other of our employees, and that this information is recorded, processed,
summarized, evaluated and reported, as applicable, within the time periods specified in the SECs
rules and forms. Based on their evaluation, as of October 1, 2010, our principal executive officer
and principal financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are
effective.
b. Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during
our last fiscal quarter to which this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q relates that have materially
affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial
reporting.
