AtriCure Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2013 Financial Results
| • | 2013 revenue of $81.9 million – up 16.6% |
| • | 2013 U.S. sales of $62.3 million – up 18.4% |
| • | Fourth quarter revenue of $21.9 million – up 19.2% |
WEST CHESTER, Ohio – February 27, 2014 – AtriCure, Inc. (Nasdaq: ATRC), a leading atrial fibrillation (“Afib”) medical device provider, today announced fourth quarter and full year 2013 financial results.
“We are pleased with our team’s performance in 2013 and momentum as we move into 2014. Our commitment to training and education, clinical trial support and innovation, coupled with our strategic acquisition of Estech, position AtriCure to execute our strategy. We are emerging as the leader in atrial fibrillation and are striving to expand the Afib market through improved patient outcomes and results,” said Mike Carrel, President and Chief Executive Officer of AtriCure. “We recently completed a successful financing which brought approximately $66 million in net proceeds to the company, bolstering our capital resources to fund our clinical programs and growth objectives.”
2013 Financial Results
Revenue for 2013 was $81.9 million, an increase of $11.6 million or 16.6% (16.1% on a constant currency basis), compared to 2012 revenue. Domestic revenue increased 18.4% to $62.3 million, driven by strong sales of ablation-related open-heart products and AtriClip products. International revenue was $19.6 million, an increase of $2.0 million or 11.0% (9.1% on a constant currency basis) when compared to $17.6 million for 2012. International revenue growth was driven primarily by an increase in product sales in Europe and Asia.
Gross profit for 2013 was $59.6 million compared to $50.0 million for 2012. Gross margin for 2013 was 72.7% compared to 71.2% for 2012. The increase in gross margin was primarily due to volume-driven leverage of manufacturing overhead expenses, a higher mix of domestic sales, lower sales of capital equipment and the strong performance of our AtriClip Pro product.
Loss from operations for 2013 was $10.9 million as compared to $7.2 million for 2012. Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, was a loss of $5.8 million for 2013 as compared to a loss of $1.8 million for 2012 (see reconciliation table below). Net loss per share was $0.56 for 2013 and $0.47 for 2012.
Cash, cash equivalents and investments were $34.1 million at December 31, 2013 and cash used in operations during 2013 was $5.2 million.
Fourth Quarter 2014 Financial Results
Revenue for the fourth quarter of 2013 was $21.9 million, an increase of $3.5 million or 19.2% (18.4% on a constant currency basis) compared to fourth quarter 2012 revenue. Domestic revenue increased 20.0% to $16.4 million, driven by strong sales of ablation-related open-heart products and AtriClip products. International revenue was $5.5 million, an increase of $0.8 million or 16.6% (13.7% on a constant currency basis) when compared to $4.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2012. International revenue growth was driven primarily by an increase in product sales in Europe and Asia.
Gross profit for the fourth quarter of 2013 was $15.7 million compared to $13.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2012. Gross margin for the fourth quarter of 2013 and 2012 was 71.6% and 70.8%, respectively. The increase in gross margin was due primarily to volume-driven leverage of manufacturing overhead expenses, a higher mix of domestic sales and the strong performance of the AtriClip Pro product.
Operating expenses for the fourth quarter of 2013 increased 38.1%, or $5.7 million, compared to the fourth quarter of 2012. The increase in operating expenses was driven primarily by an increase in selling, marketing and training expenses, along with the addition of $1.2 million of expenses related to the acquisition of Estech.
Loss from operations for the fourth quarter of 2013 was $4.8 million compared to $1.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2012. Net loss per share was $0.24 for the fourth quarter of 2013 and $0.12 for the fourth quarter of 2012.
2014 Guidance
Management projects that 2014 revenue will be in the range of $100 million to $103 million, which represents an increase of 22% to 26% over 2013. Organic revenue growth is expected to be approximately 13% to 15% with the remaining portion expected from the recently acquired Estech ablation and valve products. We estimate Estech’s valve products, which are distinct from the core ablation franchise, to generate revenue of approximately $3 million for the year.
Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, is projected to be a loss in the range of $9 million to $10 million for 2014, of which approximately $3.5 million of expense will be related to the Estech transaction. AtriCure expects the Estech transaction to be dilutive to earnings in 2014 and accretive in 2015 and beyond.

Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements include statements that address activities, events or developments that AtriCure expects, believes or anticipates will or may occur in the future, such as earnings estimates (including projections and guidance), other predictions of financial performance, launches by AtriCure of new products and market acceptance of AtriCure’s products. Forward-looking statements are based on AtriCure’s experience and perception of current conditions, trends, expected future developments and other factors it believes are appropriate under the circumstances and are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond AtriCure’s control. These risks and uncertainties include the rate and degree of market acceptance of AtriCure’s products, AtriCure’s ability to develop and market new and enhanced products, the timing of and ability to obtain and maintain regulatory clearances and approvals for its products, the timing of and ability to obtain reimbursement of procedures utilizing AtriCure’s products, AtriCure’s ability to consummate acquisitions or, if consummated, to successfully integrate acquired businesses into AtriCure’s operations, AtriCure’s ability to recognize the benefits of acquisitions, including potential synergies and cost savings, failure of an acquisition or acquired company to achieve its plans and objectives generally, risk that proposed or consummated acquisitions may disrupt operations or pose difficulties in employee retention or otherwise affect financial or operating results, competition from existing and new products and procedures or AtriCure’s ability to effectively react to other risks and uncertainties described from time to time in AtriCure’s SEC filings, such as fluctuation of quarterly financial results, reliance on third party manufacturers and suppliers, litigation or other proceedings, government regulation and stock price volatility. AtriCure does not guarantee any forward-looking statement, and actual results may differ materially from those projected. AtriCure undertakes no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement AtriCure’s condensed consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, AtriCure uses certain non-GAAP financial measures in this release as supplemental financial metrics. Non-GAAP financial measures provide an indication of performance excluding certain items. Our management believes that in order to properly understand short-term and long-term financial trends, investors may wish to consider the impact of these excluded items in addition to GAAP measures. The excluded items vary in frequency and/or impact on our continuing operations and our management believes that the excluded items are typically not reflective of our ongoing core business operations. Further, management uses results of operations before these excluded items as a basis for its strategic planning. The non-GAAP financial measures used by AtriCure may not be the same or calculated the same as those used by other companies. Reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures used in this release to the most comparable GAAP measures for the respective periods can be found in tables later in this release. Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for AtriCure’s financial results prepared and reported in accordance with GAAP.
