First Quarter 2015 Financial Results

 

Revenue for the first quarter of 2015 was $13.8 million, representing 12% growth over the first quarter 2014 revenue of $12.3 million. On a constant currency basis, revenue growth was 17% versus the prior year period.

 

2015 first quarter product revenue was $7.1 million representing a 4% increase from product revenue of $6.8 million in the first quarter of 2014. The increase in product revenue was primarily attributable to growth in Asia. Service revenue for the first quarter of 2015 was $6.7 million, up 23% from the 2014 first quarter of $5.5 million. The increase in service revenue was primarily driven by continued penetration of the U.S. market and increased volume across all segments, especially from our institutional customers.

 

United States revenue was $6.4 million in the first quarter of 2015 representing 27% growth over the same period’s revenue of $5.0 million in the prior year. Growth was driven by an increase in the number of customers and an increase in volume from existing customers.

 

Europe and Rest of World revenue was $1.7 million in the first quarter of 2015 representing a 7% decrease compared to 2014 first quarter revenue of $1.9 million. Results were impacted negatively by currency effects and, on a constant currency basis, revenue grew 4% in this region.

 

Asia revenue was $5.7 million in the first quarter of 2015 representing 5% growth over the 2014 first quarter revenue of $5.4 million. On a constant currency basis, Asia grew 12% versus the first quarter of 2014. The growth was primarily driven by sales in Japan. China sales declined modestly as a result of a $1.0 million stocking order recognized in the first quarter of 2014.

 

Gross profit for the first quarter of 2015 was $7.1 million, an increase of $884 thousand over gross profit of $6.3 million in the same period of 2014. Gross margin was 51.8%, an increase of 0.8 percentage points from the gross margin of 51.0% in the first quarter of 2014 primarily due to operational efficiencies associated with increased volume, partially offset by the impact of foreign currency exchange rate changes and increased share-based compensation charges in 2015 compared to 2014.

 

Operating expenses were $13.7 million in the first quarter of 2015, an increase of $4.5 million compared to $9.2 million in the same period last year. The increase in operating expenses was primarily due to the expansion of our sales and marketing staff and programs and increased product development expenses related to our transplant and other pipeline programs.

 

EBITDA for the first quarter was $(5.8) million compared to $(2.7) million in the first quarter of 2014. Adjusted EBITDA was $(5.0) million for the first quarter compared to $(2.4) million in the same period in 2014. Both EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP measures.

 

Net loss for the first quarter of 2015 was $6.3 million, or $0.31 per share, compared to $3.2 million, or $0.18 per share, in the first quarter of 2014. Net loss per share was based on 20,331,411 and 17,264,135 weighted average ordinary shares outstanding for the first quarters of 2015 and 2014, respectively.

 

Cash and cash equivalents were $94.0 million as of March 31, 2015 compared to $50.2 million as of December 31, 2014. On February 4, 2015, we completed our first follow-on offering as a public company and received approximately $53.8 million in net proceeds.

 

 

Business Outlook

 

We expect to report revenue of between $13.6 and $14.1 million for the second quarter of 2015.

 

As we previously announced, we expect to report full year 2015 revenue of between $60 and $65 million, representing 21%-31% year-over-year growth. We expect revenue to increase 26% to 37% for the year using constant exchange rates.
