GENERAL PROJECT OVERVIEW
incentives, both current and future, will be weighed as part of our overall facilities
decision making.
Incentives help offset a modest portion of the additional costs of doing business in
Collier County and encourage Arthrex to continually expand in Collier County. For
example, expansion at Ave Maria in turn affords the company with the opportunity to
allocate additional space for management and professional staff at the Creekside
complex. These additional high paying professional and technical jobs are being
situated in Collier County despite the real opportunity to centralize them in a lower
cost area of the country. Again, the incentive program is one of the factors that is
weighted in the ongoing decision making process.
B. How will the incentive dollars be used by the business?
Reinvestment in people, equipmertt, research and training.
C. What other cities, states, or countries are being considered for this project?
Carolinas, Texas and Tennessee
D. What advantages or incentives offered by these locations do you consider
important in your decision?
Affordable housing to attract and retain employees combined with financial incentives
to locate an operation in that area.
E. What advantages or disadvantages offered by the proposed Florida location
do you consider important in your decision?
Proximity to established location, state and local incentive programs
F. Indicate any additional internal or external competitive issues impacting this
project's location decision?
Affordable housing, training facilities in close proximity, overall cost of doing
business, available work pool, shipping logistics
6 ECONOMIC IMPACT AND CORPORATE RESPONSIBILITY

stimulate in the community, the state, and the regional economy. include the
impact on indicators such as unemployment rate, poverty rate. and per capita income.

This report presents the results of a formal impact analysis of Arthrex Inc. on the economies of
Florida's Collier and Lee counties. More than a simple manufacturing operation, the Arthrex
corporation contributes to local economies in a number of distinct ways. Its corporate
headquarters are based in Naples, Florida, and currently supports 377 high-wage service and
administrative jobs for Collier and Lee county employees. Its manufacturing operations produce
parts for worldwide distribution and support 479 local manufacturing jobs for Collier and Lee
county-based employees. The Arthrex Foundation invests more than $1 million annually, with
most charitable contributions going to local organizations. Finally, approximately 6.000
healthcare professionals and business visitors travel to the Arthrex headquarters each year to
receive special training, each of which contributes to local tourism spending al a high level.
These direct activities combine and create an economic impact that includes all of the jobs and
spending, both direct and indirect, that reiy and benefit from them. This report will present the
combined impact of Arthrex's operations, and will also estimate the impact of the company's
projected Collier I Lee 2015 footprint.
Summary of Findings
. At present, Arthrex Inc's current operations support more than 2,200 direct and indirect
local jobs and annually contribute more than $435 million (direct and indirect) to the local
economy.
. By 2015, we project that Arthrex Inc.'s combined annual economic impact will increase
to approximately 4.549 local jobs and more than $915 million annually in direct and
indirect economic activity.

create a separate one-time impact of 626 jobs and 385.3 million in local economic
impact through construction and investment in new facilities and equipment.

Recent History
In 1997 the Company's European based operations were consolidated with the Company's
North America operations. In 1998 the consolidated Arthrex Inc. and subsidiaries recorded
worldwide revenues of $68.9 million USD and had 53 Naples based employees. Since 1998 the
company has enjoyed a compound annual growth rate of 24.3% and in its most recent fiscal
year has recorded worldwide revenues of $944.2 million USD. Arthrex currently employs 921
people in its Naples based operations. The 27% compound annual growth rate for headcount
exceeds revenue growth as the Company has added rapidly to its manufacturing capacity. The
strategy of bringing production in-house is one that Arthrex plans to accelerate over the next five
years, and the Company projects that its headcount needs will double over the next five years of
operation.
The Future
Arthrex has enjoyed above-market growth rates and long term prospects for continued growth
are positive. The Company competes in markets that have long term projected growth rates of
between 7 and 9 percent. Given its competitive position the company expects to experience
double digit growth annually for the foreseeable future.
Detailed Impact: Arthrex Inc. Current Operations
At present, Arthrex Inc.'s combined operations generate an annual economic impact of almost
$435 million in Collier and Lee counties. The company's activities also create an ongoing
impact of more than $226 million on the region's gross regional product (GDP), and support an
estimated 2,201 direct and indirect local jobs. This combined impact also annually generates
almost $12.4 million in local and state tax revenue.

Based on estimates from our economic model, this total impact constitutes 0.80% of Collier and
Lee counties' total economic output, and 0.46% of the two counties' combined employment. It
also impacts 0.41 % of the region's corporate real estate tax, and 0.28% of the region's personal
real estate tax. In other words, our economic model estimates that the presence of Arthrex
Inc.'s manufacturing and headquarter operations has increased Collier and Lee counties'
properly values by about one-third of a percent.
How do we reach these figures, and what do they mean? Direct Effect impacts are the actual
Arthrex investments into the community, and the actual inputs into the IMPLAN economic
modeling software that we use to create our impact estimates. The 934 direct jobs are the sum
of the activities listed in the following table. Please note that the direct jobs from visitor
spending and charitable contributions (denoted by an asterisk) are job-equivalents calculated by

community, such as supplies and vendors supporting its service and administrative activities,
raw goods. supplies and equipment to support its manufacturing, or any other services. goods,
or inputs necessary for ongoing operations. This is the demand that Arthrex Inc. 's activities
create within the local economy. The IMPLAN economic software contains a model of indirect
local spending activity in Collier and Lee counties based upon national industry averages and
local employment, population, industry and tax records. For this report, we have calibrated
local spending inputs to be half of what IMPLAN predicts as average, for the purpose of
building a very conservative impact estimate.
Induced Effect impacts are the "ripple" effects created in the economy; the impacts of where
employees, vendors, and service providers locally spend their money such as restaurants,
stores, and other industries.

To calculate Arthrex Inc.'s impact relative to the Lee and Collier counties' combined economies,
we compare the company's baseline economic impacts (as described above) to the baseline
economic activity that IMPLAN estimates for the two counties as described below, Please keep
in mind that this compares Arthrex Inc.'s combined impact (direct, indirect, and induced) relative
to the total local economy, Export manufacturing companies like Arthrex Inc. make a
disproportionate contribution their local economies, as they inject critical new dollars, growth,
and resources into the economy, and their contribution is not dependent upon local economic
cycles. This is why exporters are often referred to as "primary economic contributors", relative
to "secondary contributors" which largely circulate money that is already within the economy
(such as restaurants, retail stores, etc,).

Expansion Plans
Arthrex Inc. projects strong growth over the next several years that will necessitate an
expansion of their current production and administrative infrastructure. If this expansion takes
place in Collier or Lee counties, this of course means Arthrex Inc.'s economic impact will
increase as weil. This future impact will consist of two parts: 1) a one-time impact resulting from
investment in facilities, construction, and capital equipment; and 2) increased annuai impact
from added jobs and investment from manufacturing, headquarters operations, and healthcare
professionals and others visiting for training and education in Arthrex products. We will estimate
these two types of impacts separately.

Detailed Future Impacts: One Time Impacts
Projected expansion needs will involve an estimated $93 million investment in facilities and
capital by Arthrex Inc. by year 2015. This will result in a one-time impact of more than $85.2
million in Collier and Lee counties. This will also create a temporary impact of an estimated 626
direct, indirect, and induced jobs, and add nearly $29.3 million to the local economy's gross
regional product. The expansion will also add a one-time increase of more than $2.4 million in
state and local tax revenues collected.

Detailed Future Impacts: Additional Annual Impact
Arthrex Inc. projects that by 2015, it will have to expand its total employment by an additional
906 jobs to meet demand and growth needs. Annually, it also projects that the number of
healthcare and business professionals that travel to Arthrex headquarters for training and
education will increase by 33%. Combined with market rate payroll base increases of its current
(2010) employee base, these expanded operations will generate an additional $480.7
million each year in local economic impact. The expansion will contribute an additional
2,349 direct and indirect jobs, $236.2 million in increased gross regional product, and an
additional $12.9 million in collected state and local taxes, each year.

Background and Sources
Innovation Insight Inc. is a Florida research consulting firm specializing in marketing and public
relations research services for high-technology industries. The firm and its founder, Guy Hagen,
have produced dozens of industry studies for Florida economic development agencies,
Enterprise Florida, and state and national technology industry organizations. From 1999 to
2000, Guy Hagen co-chaired a state task force to provide guidelines for consistent and
transparent application of economic impact studies such as this one (the Florida Governor's
Office Cluster Metrics Task Force). Innovation Insight Inc. is a private, for-profit corporation.
Information of a proprietary or business sensitive nature may be anonymized, aggregated or
withheld in order tD protect individual research participants and companies. This study was
conducted by Innovation Insight on behalf of Arthrex Inc.
Economic impact forecasting was performed Dn the Minnesota IMPLAN Group (MIG) IMPLAN
software (version 3, social accounts model) using a 2009 statewide Florida data model. Arthrex
company data, investment activity, visitor levels, and growth projections were provided by
Arthrex inc. Additional data regarding visilor spending activities were drawn from the US
Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA), Hotels com, Travel.Yahoo Com. Wikioedia com, and the
Florida Department of Transportation (Aviation Office). Other sources of data for this report are
indicated in-text.
Research Considerations
It is the practice of InnDvation insight to utilize a very conservative research framework when
conducting economic impact studies. Further, we strive to utilize a transparent, replicable
methodology that can be verified by any competent economist utilizing the same inputs and
same models. Detailed inputs to this study may be made available upon request;
however, these inputs may contain information of a competitive I business-sensitive
nature and access may require special permissions and execution of non-disclosure
agreements.
The impact estimate described in the section "Detailed Impact: Arthrex Inc. Current Operations"
was structured as a subtractive analysis; in other words, the IMPLAN model was executed by
removing the amount of Arthrex Inc's annual activity from the economy. This is the most
common and widely accepted method for documenting the impact of an existing industry sector,
company, or activity. For editorial consistency and to reduce confusion. however, all impact
figures are presented as non-negative.
The impact estimates described in the "Future" sections were structured as additive analyses;
projected future construction investments and increased Arthrex corporate activity were added
to the model's representation of the local economy. This is the most standard praclice when
modeling new impacts to an economy.
All dollar figures are adjusted for inflation and presented in 2010 US dollars. Inputs to the
impact modeling process were structured according to the following assumptions:
. Manufacturing operations where categorized as IMPLAN sector 305, "Surgical and
medical instrument manufacturing". Note that in order to support the most
reasonably conservative estimate of Arthrex Inc. impacts, the IMPLAN default
estimate of local spending activity (intermediate spending) for this sector was
reduced by 50%.
INNOVATION INSIGHT J Economic Impact of Arthrex lnc. It November 9, 2010

. Headquarters service and administrative jobs were categorized as IMPLAN sector 381,
"Management of companies and enterprises". Note that in order to support the most
reasonably conservative estimate of Arthrex Inc. impacts, the IMPLAN default
estimate of local spending activity (intermediate spending) for this sector was
reduced by 50%.
. Arthrex Inc. charitable investment activities were categorized as IMPLAN sector 424,
"Grantmaking, giving, and social advocacy organizations".
. Both "Current" and "Future" impact estimates modeled traveler spending activity of
visitors to Arthrex Inc.'s headquarters. These visitors consist of approximately 6,000
healthcare and business professionals who each year travel to Arthrex Inc.'s corporate
headquarters for specialized training and education. Lacking a formal survey of visitor
expenditures, a conservative template of spending was based upon the US Bureau of
Economic Analysis' schedule of tourist spending as a general guideline. This template
was populated with the best data available, and structured as follows;
.:. 6.000 visitors annually, each spending 2.5 days (average) in the region. As these
visitors were healthcare and business professionals (including many orthopedic
surgeons and doctors) it was assumed that they would have a liberal per diem and
personal spending budget and prefer above-average lodging, travel, and dining
options.
'.' A survey of hotels.com 4- and 5-star hotels within 10 miles of the Arthrex corporate
headquarters, sampled at four non-holiday periods throughout the year established
an average nightly hotel cost of $220.92 (IMPLAN sector 411, "Hotels and motels,
including casino hotels")
'.' A survey of travel.vahoo.com car rental prices, "Full" and "Premium" car models
available from the Southwest Florida Internalional Airport, sampled at four non-
holiday periods throughout the year established an average daily rental cost of
$73.84 (IMPLAN sector 362, "Automotive equipment rental and leasing").
.:. 6,000 visitors were calculated to constitute roughly 0.08% of the annual passengers
of Southwest Florida International Airport (source: Wikioedia.com). This was
extended pro rata to the Airport's annual direct employment, as documented in a
2010 report by the Florida Department of Transportation entitled "The Economic
Impact of Southwest Florida International Airport (RSW)".

Appendix: General Impact Definitions
. Output: Output represents the value of industry production. In IMPLAN these are annual
production estimates for the year of the data set and are in producer prices. For
manufacturers this would be sales plus/minus change in inventory. For service sectors
production = sales. For Retail and wholesale trade, output = gross margin and not gross
sales. Economic impact figures, without definition, usually refer to Output.
. Labor Income: All forms of employment income, including Employee Compensation
(wages and benefits) and Proprietor Income.
. Direct Impacts: take place only in the industry sector immediately affected, such as
direct jobs and investments.
. Indirect Impacts: concern inter-industry transactions; if an analyzed sector is removed
from the economy, sector companies will no longer have a demand for locally produced
materials needed to produce their product. This will affect all of their suppliers.
. Induced Effects: measure the effects of the changes in household income: employees
laid-off by removing the analyzed sector from the economy may reduce their
expenditures in restaurants and shops since they are no longer employed. These
changes effect the related industries.
. GDP: Industry Gross Domestic Product is the contribution of each private industry and
of government to the nation's output, or GDP. An industry's GDP, or its "value added," is
equal to its gross output (which consists of sales or receipts and other operating income,
commodity taxes, and inventory change) minus its intermediate inputs (which consist of
energy. raw materials, semi-finished goods, and services that are purchased from
domestic industries or from foreign sources). It can also be measured as the sum of
incomes related to production, such as wages and salary accruals and gross operating
surplus. (SEA)

Appendix: Tax Impact Definitions
. Dividends: Any payment to administrative government is considered a tax. It represents
a source of revenue to state and local government.
. Social Ins Tax- Employee Contribution; Employees' social contributions are the
amounts payable by employees to social security funds and private funded social
insurance schemes.
. Social Ins Tax- Employer Contribution: Employers' social contributions are payments
by employers which are intended to secure for their employees the entitlement to social
benefits should certain events occur, or certain circumstances exist, that may adversely
affect their employees' income or welfare - sickness, accidents, redundancy, retirement,
etc.
. Indirect Bus Tax: Prior to the 2003 comprehensive NIPA revision, 1ST was the name of
one of the three components of value added. It consists of tax and nontax iiabilities that
are chargeable to business expenses when calculating profit-type incomes and of
certain other business liabilities to government agencies that are trealed like taxes.
Thus, I ST includes taxes on sales, property, and production, but it excludes employer
contributions for social insurance and taxes on income. As part of the NIPA revision, this
component was modified and termed "taxes on production and imports less subsidies."
The major differences between the two are attributable to the treatments of subsidies
and non-taxes. (SEA)
. Indirect Bus Tax: Sales Tax: Includes sales tax charged to both businesses and
individuals.

Executive Summary
This study has forecast the economic impact on Collier County of an expansion of an
existing firm that will create 600 positions in Collier County by June 30, 2016, at an
average annual wage of $59,580. The average value of benefits associated with each
new job is 19 percent of the average wage, resulting in an average total compensatiDn
of $73,646 per new employee.
Project Overview
A medical equipment and supplies manufacturing company is considering an expansion
in Collier County that will add 600 new employees and require an investment of $30
million for the construction of new and renovated facilities. In addition, the company will
purchase $20 million in manufacturing equipment through 2016 to support the
expansion.
The information for the study was provided by the Economic Development Council of
Collier County (EDC) which is not allowed to disclose the company's identity at this
time. The EDC is able to provide sufficient information to cDmplete an economic impact
study of the firm's expansion on the local Collier County economy.

Description of Company
The informatiDn for the study was provided to the Economic Development Council of
Collier County (EDC) which is not allowed to disclose the company's identity at this
time. The Economic Development Council of Collier County is able to provide sufficient
information to complete an economic study of the firm's impact on the Collier County
economy.
The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for the company
considering the expansiDn is 3391, a medical equipment and supplies manufacturing
company. This industry is comprised of establishments primarily engaged in
manufacturing medical equipment and supplies. Examples of products made by these
establishments are surgical and medical instruments, surgical appliances, and supplies.
The company is planning to spend $30 million dollars between 2012 and 2014 on the
construction of new and renovated manufacturing facilities. In addition, the company is
planning to spend $17 million on new manufacturing equipment. The company plans to
hire 600 new employees at an average annual salary of $59,580 by June 30, 2016. This
would include the following assumptions for the economic model runs:
. Construct a new manufacturing facility in 2012 valued at $17 million and a
supporting expenditure of $2 million fDr new manufacturing equipment;
. Additional construction in 2013 of $3 million on faculties and $6 million for
supporting manufacturing equipment;
. Renovate and construct another facility in 2014 valued at $10 million and an
additional expenditure of $6 million for manufacturing equipment;
. Additional expenditures of $3 million in 2015 and another $3 million in 2016 for
manufacturing equipment.
. Hire 400 new employees by June 30, 2014, with an average annual wage of
$59,580;
. Hire an additional 1 00 employees by June 30, 2015; and
. Hire an additional 1 00 employees by June 30, 2016.
Although the economic analysis reported in this paper extends only to 2017, the
eCDnomic benefit to Collier County of gaining 600 new positions will continue as long as
firm continues to prosper and operate at the expanded level in Collier County. The
average annual wage for each new position $59,580 and the average value of benefits
associated with each new job is 19.1 percent of the average wage. This results in an
average estimated total compensation of $73,646 per new employee in 2013 dollars.
The study assumes that the equipment expenditures are from manufacturing companies
outside Collier County and do not have any economic impact on Collier County. The
analysis assumes that the manufacturing company employees live in Collier County.

Study Results
The economic impact model, IMPLAN, provides four measures of economic impact for
CDllier County.
. Employment represents the gain of employment in Collier County as a result of
the company expansion;
. Labor income represents the gain in wages. salaries, and benefits paid to
workers in Collier County;
. Value added represents the gain of labor income, proprietary income, other
property income, and indirect business taxes created within Collier County; and
. Expenditures is a measure of the increase in expenditures resulting from the
company's operations in Collier County.
The model accounts not only for the expenditures by the company (direct), but also
indirect gains created by other firms which are suppliers of services and products to the
existing (indirect) and the additional expenditures by the new employees and their
families (induced) for housing, food, and other goods and services.
Economic Impacts of Hiring 600 Additional Employees: 2013- 2017

information provided by the EDC shows that the company will have hired the equivalent
of 120 full-time annual employees in 2013 The economic impact is shown in
employment, labor income, value added, and expenditure increases in Table 1. The
direct employment gain is 120 full-time annual employees and the overall employment
impact for Collier County is forecast to be 217 full-time equivalent annual employees
created in 2013. The direct labor income gain is $105 million with the overall county-

Sales and Property Tax Impacts
The model provides estimates of the additional saies and property tax, as shown in
Table 9. These are approximations based on historical information obtained in 2008.
The taxable property values are assumed to have declined by 110 percent from 2008
to 2009 and by 12.2 percent from 2009 to 2010 based on information obtained from the
Florida Department of Revenue. The estimates a5sume that taxable property values
are unchanged for 2010 to 2011.

The gain in tax collection estimates provide part of the information necessary to
complete a cost-benefit analysis. The increase in employees will increase the services
needed from the county, which would be expected to increase county costs.
Summary
This study has forecast the economic impacts for Collier CDunty of an existing medical
equipment and supplies manufacturing company expanding its operations and adding
600 employees by June 30, 2016. The overall employment impact due to additional
business-to-business activity and the additional expenditures of the household incomes
created will result in an overall increase in employment of 1.085 in Collier County by
2017. The value added, which is a measure of income generated in Collier County, has
a present value over the five years from 2012 to 2016 of $278 million and the present
value of the labor income generated between 2012 and 2016 is $190 million. These
values are based on the direct creation of 600 new Collier County jobs at an average
annual wage of $59,580 plus benefits worth an additional 19 percent resulting in an
average annual total compensation of $73,746. The present value of the additional
expenditures for 2012 to 2016 is $652 million

Appendix A
IMPLAN Pro: An Economic Impact Analysis Model
This study was completed using an established and accepted economic impact model,
IMPLAN, that is currently in use by over a thousand licensed mDdel users in the United
States including universities, government agencies, and private companies. The model
is based on an understanding of inter-industry relationships and the work of Wassily
Leontief. He developed the concept of multipliers from input-output tables and received
the Nobel Prize in 1973 for his work. 3 The model was originally developed for the
United States Department of Agriculture and in the late 1980s was refined and
enhanced with the assistance of the University of Minnesota.
The model includes a mathematical input-output (1-0) data set for Collier County that
allows one to forecast the gains from a firm's expenditures and expansion on other
Collier County businesses. The existing company and its employees will need various
products and services leading to additional expenditures, jobs, value added, and labDr
income. The value added includes employee compensation, proprietary income, other
property type income, and indirect business taxes. Indirect business taxes consist of
excise taxes, property taxes, fees, licenses, and sales taxes paid by businesses.
The additional demand for goods and services in Collier County as a result of the
expanding manufacturing firm will lead to additional business-to-business activity and
the additional household incomes will increase business activity for household goods
and services.
