Comparison of Selected Financial Results (in millions, except per share data)
   Three Months Ended December 31, 
   2012   2011 
As reported:          
Total revenue  $4.1   $4.0 
Net loss   (12.0)   (4.9)
Net loss per common share   (0.44)   (0.18)
Excluding special items*:

* See “Reconciliation of GAAP Financial Information to Non-GAAP Financial Information” below.

 

Revenues were $4.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2012, representing a 3.5% increase from revenues of $4.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2011. Domestic revenues were $3.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2012, compared to $3.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2011 and international revenues were $1.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2012, compared to $0.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2011. The increase in international revenues was due to the initial stocking order for our new distributor in China. Gross margin was 62.2% in the fourth quarter of 2012 as compared to 73.9% in the fourth quarter of 2011. The decrease in gross margin was due primarily to a higher percentage of international sales which carry a lower gross margin than domestic sales, inventory charges related to excess inventories, and increased depreciation expense on reusable kits.

 

Net loss was $12.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2012, compared to a net loss of $4.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2011. Net loss per common share was $0.44 in the fourth quarter of 2012 compared to a net loss per share of $0.18 in the fourth quarter of 2011.

 

Excluding special items, net loss in the fourth quarter of 2012 was $5.3 million, or $0.20 per common share, compared to net loss excluding special items of $4.7 million, or $0.17 per common share in the fourth quarter of 2011. Special items in the fourth quarter of 2012 consisted of expenses of $6.6 million, including $0.6 million of legal fees, related to our tentative agreement in principle with the U.S. Department of Justice to settle its federal investigation related to the subpoena issued in October 2011. Special items in the fourth quarter of 2011 consisted of expenses of $0.2 million for legal fees related to the U.S. Department of Justice investigation.

 

 
 

 

Cash and cash-equivalents were $21.5 million as of December 31, 2012.

 

“In the fourth quarter we made significant progress on our key operational goals, including further reimbursement progress, expanding clinical publications and driving adoption of the VEO direct lateral system. In addition, we re-launched AxiaLIF in November at a large per-to-peer training event in anticipation of the activation of our Category I code on January 1,” said Ken Reali, President and Chief Executive Officer of TranS1. "We believe that the stabilization of our domestic business and the initial stocking order in China have created positive momentum for TranS1 as we enter 2013."

 

TranS1 Outlook

 

For the first quarter ending March 31, 2013, the Company expects total revenues in the range of $3.0 - $3.4 million.

The conference call numbers did not change.

Reconciliation of GAAP Financial Information to Non-GAAP Financial Information

 

To supplement the Company’s consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, the Company uses non-GAAP measures of certain components of financial performance, including net loss and net loss per common share, which are adjusted from results based on GAAP. Although “as adjusted” financial measures are non-GAAP financial measures, the Company believes that the presentation of “as adjusted” financial measures calculated to exclude “special items” are useful adjuncts to the GAAP “as reported” financial measures. “Special items” consist of charges related to a tentative settlement with the U.S. Department of Justice, including related legal fees, and legal fees related to a stockholder class action lawsuit. These non-GAAP measures are provided to enhance investors’ overall understanding of the Company’s current financial performance and the Company’s prospects for the future. We believe that providing a non-GAAP measure that adjusts for significant non-recurring expenses allows comparison of our core operations from period to period. These non-GAAP measures may be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, but should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, GAAP results. The non-GAAP measures included in this press release have been reconciled to the most directly comparable GAAP measure.
