AtriCure Reports Second Quarter 2015 Financial Results and

Updates 2015 Outlook

 

    Revenue of $32.6 million – up 22.9% as reported, 26.5% constant currency

 

    U.S. sales of $25.7 million – up 29.3%

 

    International sales of $6.8 million – up 3.5% as reported, 17.9% constant currency

WEST CHESTER, Ohio – July 28, 2015 – AtriCure, Inc. (Nasdaq: ATRC), a leading innovator in technologies for the surgical treatment of atrial fibrillation and left atrial appendage management, today announced second quarter 2015 financial results.

“We are pleased by our results this quarter which reflect continued stability in our business and the solid foundation AtriCure is building for future growth,” said Mike Carrel, President and Chief Executive Officer of AtriCure. “With our long term investments in clinical trials, innovation, and physician training and education, we look forward to continuing to advance the treatment of atrial fibrillation.”

Second Quarter 2015 Financial Results

Revenue for the second quarter of 2015 was $32.6 million, an increase of $6.1 million or 22.9% (26.5% on a constant currency basis), compared to second quarter 2014 revenue. Domestic revenue increased 29.3% to $25.7 million, driven by strong sales of ablation-related open-heart products, ablation-related minimally invasive products, and AtriClip products. International revenue was $6.8 million, an increase of $0.2 million or 3.5% (17.9% on a constant currency basis) compared to $6.6 million for the second quarter of 2014. International revenue growth was driven primarily by increases in product sales in Asia, the United Kingdom, Germany and France which offset the decline in the Euro-Dollar exchange rate between quarters.

Gross profit for the second quarter of 2015 was $23.1 million compared to $18.8 million for the second quarter of 2014. Gross margin for the second quarter of 2015 and 2014 was 70.9% and 70.8%, respectively.


Operating expenses for the second quarter of 2015 increased 29.1%, or $6.3 million, compared to the second quarter of 2014. The increase in operating expenses was driven primarily by an increase in selling, clinical, marketing, and training expenses and the favorable impact of the fair value adjustment of Estech contingent consideration recorded during the three months ended June 30, 2014, partially offset by transaction, transition and severance expense related to the acquisition of Estech recorded during the three months ended June 30, 2014.

Loss from operations for the second quarter of 2015 was $4.8 million, compared to $2.9 million for the second quarter of 2014. Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, was a loss of $1.0 million for the second quarter of 2015, compared to a $2.5 million loss for the second quarter of 2014. Net loss per share was $0.18 for the second quarter of 2015 and $0.10 for the second quarter of 2014.

2015 Guidance

Management projects that 2015 revenue will be in the range of $127 million to $129 million, which represents an increase of 18% to 20% over 2014 (21% to 23% on a constant currency basis). This compares to previous expectations of 2015 revenue in the range of $123.5 million to $125.5 million.

Management projects adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, to be a loss in the range of $7 million to $8 million for 2015 in order to continue making strategic investments to drive the long-term growth plan.

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, AtriCure’s ability to retain and attract key employees, 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 continue to be in compliance with applicable U.S. federal and state and foreign government laws and regulations, 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, including the development of drug or catheter-based technologies, 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, fluctuations in exchange rates for future sales denominated in foreign currency, which represent a majority of AtriCure’s sales outside of the United States, reliance on third party manufacturers and suppliers, litigation or other proceedings, government regulation and stock price volatility.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement AtriCure’s condensed consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, 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.
