Intersect ENT Reports Second Quarter 2016 Results

Revenue Increased 27% Year Over Year; Gross Margin at 84%

MENLO PARK, Calif.—August 2, 2016 — Intersect ENT, Inc. (NASDAQ:XENT), a company dedicated to improving the quality of life for patients with ear, nose and throat conditions, today reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2016.

 

    Second quarter 2016 revenue was $19.3 million, representing a 27% increase over the second quarter 2015.

 

    Second quarter 2016 gross margin was 84% compared to 81% in the second quarter 2015.

Key recent product development milestones include:

 

    Completed enrollment of patients in RESOLVE II, a 300-patient pivotal Phase III clinical study of the RESOLVE investigational steroid releasing implant designed to treat patients with recurrent sinus obstruction in the office setting.

 

    Announced results of the second cohort of patients in the PROGRESS study and submission of a premarket approval supplement (PMA-s) to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to seek approval for its new NOVA steroid releasing implant in the treatment of chronic sinus disease. The clinical study met its primary efficacy endpoint, demonstrating a statistically significant 65% relative reduction in the need for postoperative interventions, such as the need for additional surgical procedures or oral steroid prescription, compared to surgery alone.

“We delivered strong growth over last year, and continued to advance our pipeline,” stated Lisa Earnhardt, president and CEO of Intersect ENT. “We were pleased with the launch of the approved frontal indication for PROPEL® mini and the potential for this expanded indication to address a meaningful incremental market. These achievements support our ongoing goal of providing innovative products to ENTs to improve patient outcomes.”

Second Quarter 2016 Financial Results

Revenue for the second quarter of 2016 increased 27% to $19.3 million from $15.2 million for the same period of 2015. This increase in revenue is primarily attributable to continuing expansion of the adoption of PROPEL and PROPEL mini, including for the newly expanded indication for PROPEL mini.

Gross margin for the second quarter of 2016 was 84%, up from 81% for the same period of 2015. This increase in gross margin was due primarily to spreading the company’s manufacturing costs over higher production volumes and increased production efficiency and average selling price.


R&D expenses increased by 14%, to $4.6 million for the second quarter of 2016 from $4.0 million for the same period of 2015. This increase resulted largely from the company expanding its clinical trial efforts. SG&A expenses increased by 26%, to $17.8 million for the second quarter of 2016 from $14.1 million for the same period of 2015. This increase resulted primarily from an increase in sales headcount.

Net loss for the second quarter of 2016 was $6.0 million compared to $5.8 million for the same period of 2015. Second quarter 2016 basic and diluted net loss per share was $0.21 per share compared to $0.23 per share for the same period of 2015.

Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments totaled $111.8 million as of June 30, 2016.

2016 Outlook

Intersect ENT expects full year revenue at the low end of the previous guidance range of $78-$80 million. The company is raising its outlook for gross margin to 82%-83%, versus previous guidance of 80%-81%. The company’s outlook for third quarter 2016 revenue is approximately $17.8 million. Intersect ENT is maintaining its outlook for operating expenses of approximately $92 million and continues to expect a net use of cash for the year of approximately $25 million (“net use of cash” is the difference between the anticipated balances of cash and cash equivalents plus short-term investments at December 31, 2016 and the actual balances at December 31, 2015).
