All numbers are presented on a GAAP basis except where expressly referenced as non-GAAP. The Company does not provide GAAP income per common share on a forward-looking basis because the Company is unable to predict with reasonable certainty business development and acquisition-related expenses, purchase accounting fair value adjustments, and any unusual gains and losses without unreasonable effort. These items are uncertain, depend on various factors, and could be material to results computed in accordance with GAAP.

The Company's financial guidance for 2018 is subject to the risks identified below.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release contains non-GAAP financial measures. Investors should consider this non-GAAP information in addition to, and not as a substitute for, financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In addition, this non-GAAP financial information may not be the same as similar measures presented by other companies. The Company's non-GAAP revenues include JOTEC revenues for the same six-month period in 2017 prior to the closing of the acquisition of JOTEC on December 1, 2017. The Company's other non-GAAP results exclude (as applicable) business development and integration expenses; amortization expense; and inventory basis step-up expense. The Company believes that these non-GAAP presentations provide useful information to investors regarding unusual non-operating transactions and the operating expense structure of the Company's existing and recently acquired operations, without regard to its on-going efforts to acquire additional complementary products and businesses and the transaction and integration expenses incurred in connection with recently acquired and divested product lines. The Company believes it is useful to exclude certain expenses because such amounts in any specific period may not directly correlate to the underlying performance of its business operations or can vary significantly between periods as a result of factors such as acquisitions, or non-cash expense related to amortization of previously acquired tangible and intangible assets. The Company does, however, expect to incur similar types of expenses in the future, and this non-GAAP financial information should not be viewed as a statement or indication that these types of expenses will not recur.

Webcast and Conference Call Information
The Company will hold a teleconference call and live webcast tomorrow, August 7, 2018 at 8:30 a.m. ET to discuss the results followed by a question and answer session. To listen to the live teleconference, please dial 201-689-8261.

Forward Looking Statements
Statements made in this press release that look forward in time or that express management's beliefs, expectations, or hopes are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking statements reflect the views of management at the time such statements are made. These statements include our forecasted revenues, gross margins, R&D expenses, non-GAAP income tax rate and non-GAAP earnings per share; our On-X and JOTEC products are continuing to gain momentum as our direct sales force is effectively conveying the attributes of our differentiated products; our expectation that our business momentum will continue; we have a number of internal initiatives that can drive substantial future growth; and given our highly experienced leadership team, we are confident we can deliver on our goals and objectives. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties, estimates, and assumptions that may cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations. These risks and uncertainties include the risk factors detailed in our Securities and Exchange Commission filings, including our Form 10-K for year ended December 31, 2017. These risks and uncertainties also include that our beliefs may be incorrect regarding the benefits of the On-X and JOTEC acquisitions, including that these acquisitions provide us with product portfolios that are technologically and clinically differentiated and offer strong competitive advantages, substantially enhance our growth potential and ability to drive profitable growth, strengthen our direct sales force, significantly accelerate our going direct strategy, increase our cross-selling opportunities, and significantly enhance our R&D capabilities and pipeline; they also include that our projections of markets sizes and revenue growth rates for our four main product lines, clinical trial timelines and clearance or approval times for new products or new indications may be incorrect or may change over time. As with most acquisitions, the successful integration of JOTEC's business with ours may take longer and prove more costly than expected, and we may experience currently unforeseen difficulties related to the JOTEC products and our combined sales forces' ability to successfully market them; we may not be able to secure the anticipated financial and operational benefits of the acquisition as soon as anticipated, or at all. We may also inherit unforeseen risks and uncertainties related to JOTEC's business, particularly if the information received by CryoLife during the due diligence phase of this transaction was incomplete or inaccurate. CryoLife does not undertake to update its forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.
