Worldwide revenues were up 8 percent compared to the first quarter of 2011 to $43.7 million. Domestic revenues were up 7 percent compared to the first quarter of 2011 to $37.9 million. The increase can be attributed mainly to the strength of the sports medicine, BGS/GO, and dental businesses.

After a constant currency adjustment, international revenues increased 12 percent compared to the first quarter of 2011.

For the first quarter of 2012, RTI reported net income of $2 million and net income per fully diluted share of $0.04, based on 55.9 million fully diluted shares outstanding, compared to net income of $1.2 million and net income per fully diluted share of $0.02 based on 55 million fully diluted shares outstanding.
