There are a number of hiking trails in the preserved areas of Adams county. From easy prairie trails to view midsummer wildflowers to wooded trails. Get an overview of such areas as Adams Lake State Nature Preserve to Robert A. Whipple's Preserve to the Serpent Mound. The long "Buckeye Trail" has sections within Adams county.
My family likes to take walks. We often go to the Metro Parks, sometimes taking longer, sometimes shorter, trails. Most of the hiking trails in Central Ohio are mild inclines on small hills interspersed with long stretches of flat ground. It is easy walking for someone my age (let's say 'mature').
When we were a young family it was easy enough for the children of all ages, although when they were quite little we used backpacks to take a toddler along.
06 Earnings Call Transcript SeekingAlpha
Good day everyone and welcome to this Biomet Incorporated First Quarter 2007 Earnings Conference Call. Today's conference is being recorded. At this time, for opening remarks and introductions, I'd like to turn the call over to Mr. Dan Hann. Please go ahead sir.
Thank you, Stacy. Good morning and welcome to Biomet's first quarter conference call. Joining me this morning is Greg Hartman, our CFO; Chuck Niemier, President of Biomet Trauma and Biomet Spine; Garry England, COO for Domestic Operations; and Greg Sasso, Senior Vice President of Corporate Development and Communications.
To address any forwardlooking statements made during the course of this conference call, we refer you to the paragraph regarding forwardlooking statements included in Biomet's first quarter press release issued earlier this morning.
We will begin with sales. During the first quarter of fiscal '07, net sales increased 5% to $508.2 million. International sales increased 9% while sales in the US increased 3%. Excluding the impact of foreign currency, which increased first quarter sales by approximately $3 million, net sales increased 4% worldwide. We are pleased that Biomet continues to gain market share in the domestic and worldwide reconstructive device market, principally is a result of a significant number of new product introductions and technologies that have recently been launched to our customers. However, the company's fixation spinal sales were $12 million below management's expectations during the first quarter of fiscal '07.
The company has implemented numerous changes in its Biomet Trauma and Biomet Spine operations formerly known as EBI. First, we appointed Biomet's former COO of International Operations, Chuck Niemier, with a proven operational track record as President of Biomet Trauma and Biomet Spine. Other key senior management changes at Biomet Trauma and Biomet Spine include the appointment of a new Vice President of Finance, with significant financial management experience, most recently with Aircast; and a new Vice President of Sales with over 20 years of sales management experience with J Orthopedics and Biomet Orthopedics.
