The complaint charges MAKO and certain of its officers and executives with violations of the Exchange Act. MAKO is a medical device company that markets its advanced robotic arm solution and orthopedic implants for orthopedic procedures called MAKOplasty. The Company generates revenue from: (1) unit sales of the Companyas RIO Robotic Arm Interactive Orthopedic (aRIOa) system and MAKOplasty applications (collectively, the aRIO systema), including associated instrumentation, installation services, and training; (2) sales of implants and disposable products utilized in MAKOplasty procedures; and (3) sales of warranty and maintenance services.

The complaint alleges that, throughout the Class Period, defendants issued materially false and misleading statements regarding the Companyas financials and future business prospects. Specifically, defendants misrepresented and/or failed to disclose the following adverse facts: (i) that the Company was poised to suffer a wider first quarter loss as it was experiencing higher costs and slower sales of its RIO systems; (ii) that utilization rates of the Companyas RIO systems were dropping; (iii) that the Companyas 2012 outlook provided at the start of the Class Period lacked a reasonable basis when made; and (iv) that, based on the above, defendants lacked a reasonable basis for their positive statements about the Company or its outlook.

On May 7, 2012, the Company announced its first quarter 2012 financial results. Although revenue rose from the first quarter 2011, it dropped approximately 40% from the fourth quarter 2011 and missed analystsa consensus expectations by approximately 20%.

As a result, the price of MAKO common stock dropped $15.13 per share, or nearly 37%, to close at $26.27 per share on May 8, 2012, on unusual trading volume of more than 13 million shares traded.

Plaintiff seeks to recover damages on behalf of all purchasers of MAKO common stock during the Class Period (the aClassa). The plaintiff is represented by Robbins Geller, which has expertise in prosecuting investor class actions and extensive experience in actions involving financial fraud.
