-    U.S. Patient Utilization Grew 33%, Year Over Year

DANVERS, MA — February 1, 2018Abiomed, Inc. (NASDAQ: ABMD), a leading provider of breakthrough heart support and recovery technologies, today reported third quarter fiscal 2018 revenue of $154.0 million, an increase of 34% compared to revenue of $114.7 million for the same period of fiscal 2017.

Financial and operating highlights during the third quarter of fiscal 2018 include:

 

    Worldwide revenue from Impella heart pumps totaled $148.0 million, an increase of 36% compared to revenue of $109.2 million during the same period in the prior year. U.S. revenue from Impella pumps grew 30% to $130.7 million and U.S. patient usage grew 33%.

 

    Outside the U.S., revenue from Impella heart pumps totaled $17.3 million and was up 94% year over year, predominantly from Germany, which recorded $11.4 million, up 71%. Additionally, the Company recorded $1.1 million in revenue from Japan.

 

    The installed base for Impella 2.5® heart pumps in the U.S. grew by an additional 10 hospitals, which made initial purchases of Impella heart pumps, bringing the installed customer base to 1,181 sites. The installed customer base for Impella CP® heart pumps grew by 41 new U.S. hospitals, bringing the total number of Impella CP sites to 1,134.

Third quarter fiscal 2018 adjusted* net income included income tax expense adjustments of approximately $18.8 million, or $0.41 per diluted share due primarily to the recently enacted Tax Reform Act and excess tax benefits on employee share-based compensation awards, which were not applicable in the prior year period.

    Operating income was $44.8 million, or 29.1% operating margin, compared to $25.4 million, or 22.2% operating margin in the prior year.

 

    The Company generated $56.7 million in cash from operating activities during the third quarter. Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities totaled $350.7 million as of December 31, 2017, compared to $319.2 million at September 30, 2017. The Company currently has no debt.


    In October 2017, the Company officially closed on the purchase of its Danvers, Massachusetts global headquarters for $16.5 million.

* USE OF NON-GAAP MEASURES

To supplement its consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”), the Company uses the following non-GAAP financial measures: adjusted net income and adjusted net income per diluted share. The presentation of this financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. The Company uses these non-GAAP financial measures for financial and operational decision-making and as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons. The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding its performance and liquidity by excluding the provisional income tax expense related to the Tax Reform Act; and the excess tax benefits associated with share-based compensation arrangements. The Company believes that both management and investors benefit from referring to these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing its performance and when planning, forecasting, and analyzing future periods. These non-GAAP financial measures also facilitate management’s internal comparisons to its historical performance and liquidity. The Company believes these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors because (1) they allow for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by management in its financial and operational decision-making and (2) they are used by institutional investors and the analyst community to help them analyze the performance of the Company’s business.

Adjusted net income and adjusted net income per diluted share. The Company defines adjusted net income as net income, net of the provisional income tax expense related to the Tax Reform Act and the excess tax benefits associated with share-based compensation arrangements. The Company defines adjusted net income per diluted share as adjusted net income divided by diluted shares used for GAAP purposes which are calculated as the weighted average outstanding shares plus dilutive potential shares outstanding during the period. See below for a reconciliation of adjusted net income and adjusted net income per diluted share to net income and net income per diluted share.

* On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cut and Jobs Act (“the Tax Reform Act”) was enacted into law. This new tax law, among other items, reduces the U.S. federal statutory corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21% effective January 1, 2018. During the three and nine months ended December 31, 2017, the Company recorded a one-time income tax expense adjustment related to the revaluation of its deferred taxes due to a reduction of the U.S. federal statutory corporate income tax rate.
** In the first quarter of fiscal 2018, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which requires that all excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies related share-based compensation arrangements be recognized as income tax benefit or expense, instead of in stockholders’ equity as previous guidance required.
