Nevro Announces Second Quarter 2020 Financial Results

 

REDWOOD CITY, Calif., August 5, 2020 – Nevro Corp. (NYSE: NVRO), a global medical device company that is providing innovative, evidence-based solutions for the treatment of chronic pain, today announced its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2020.

 

Worldwide revenue for the second quarter of 2020 was $56.4 million, a 40% decrease from $93.6 million in the prior year period. Second quarter 2020 revenue was negatively impacted by COVID-19 restrictions on elective surgical procedures around the world. U.S. revenue in the second quarter of 2020 was $51.0 million, a decrease of 35% compared to $78.1 million in the prior year period. Year-over-year, U.S. trials declined by approximately 37% and permanent implants declined by approximately 34% during the second quarter of 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. International revenue was $5.4 million, a 65% decrease on a constant currency basis, compared to $15.5 million in the prior year period.

 

“While the COVID-19 global pandemic took a severe toll on our business in the second quarter of 2020, we are encouraged by the signs of recovery we are seeing in procedure volumes, particularly in the U.S.,” said D. Keith Grossman, Chairman, CEO and President of Nevro. “April was the most impacted month during the second quarter with a reduction of approximately 85% in U.S. case volume, when elective surgical procedures were restricted globally. Since then, we have seen sequential improvements in both May and June that have exceeded our expectations. In the month of June, daily U.S. trial and permanent procedure volumes were approximately equal to the prior year period, and we have seen continued improvement in the month of July.  As expected, international volumes during the second quarter were deeply impacted and slower to recover. Despite encouraging signs of early recovery in the U.S., we remain cautious about the visibility and predictability of our environment through the end of 2020. We are monitoring new pandemic developments closely and will continue to work alongside our physician customers to serve patients who desperately need our therapy to relieve their debilitating chronic pain.”

 

Gross profit for the second quarter of 2020 was $35.3 million, a 45% decrease compared to $63.9 million in the prior year period. Gross margin was 62.5% in the second quarter compared to 68.3% in the prior year period. Compared to the prior year period, the decrease in gross margin in the second quarter of 2020 was primarily attributable to a one-time charge of approximately $2.5 million related to older generation product that was deemed to be in excess of forecasted demand, as well as the impact of lower revenue.

 

Operating expenses for the second quarter of 2020 were $70.6 million, a 22% decrease compared to $90.5 million in the prior year period. Expenses included an increase in our reserves for bad debt of $1.5 million.  The year-over-year decrease in operating expenses was primarily related to reduced

travel-related expenses, temporary salary reductions and active expense management during the COVID-19 pandemic. Legal expenses associated with patent litigation were $2.3 million for the second quarter of 2020, compared to $3.9 million in the prior year period.

 

Net loss from operations for the second quarter of 2020 was $35.4 million, a 33% increase compared to a loss of $26.6 million in the prior year period. Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter of 2020 was negative $22.1 million, a 98% increase compared to negative $11.1 million in the prior year period.  Adjusted EBITDA excludes certain litigation expenses, interest, taxes and non-cash items such as stock-based compensation and depreciation and amortization. Please see our financial tables for GAAP to Non-GAAP reconciliations.

 

Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments totaled $562.3 million as of June 30, 2020.  Net cash increased during the second quarter of 2020 by $314.8 million, primarily as a result of approximately $313.5 million in funds, net of underwriter fees and expenses, received from the Company’s April 2020 public offerings of common stock and convertible senior notes.

Management uses certain non-GAAP financial measures, most specifically Adjusted EBITDA, as a supplement to GAAP financial measures to further evaluate the Company’s operating performance period over period, analyze the underlying business trends, assess performance relative to competitors and establish operational objectives.

 

Management believes it is important to provide investors with the same non-GAAP metrics it uses to evaluate the performance and underlying trends of the Company’s business operations to facilitate comparisons to its historical operating results and evaluate the effectiveness of its operating strategies. Disclosure of these non-GAAP financial measures also facilitates comparisons of the Company’s underlying operating performance with other companies in the industry that also supplement their GAAP results with non-GAAP financial measures.

 

EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure, which is calculated by adding interest income and expense, net; provision for income taxes; and depreciation and amortization to net income.  In calculating Adjusted EBITDA, the Company further adjusts for the following items:

 

Stock-based compensation expense – The Company excludes non-cash costs related to the Company’s stock-based plans, which include stock options, restricted stock units and performance-based restricted stock units as these expenses do not require cash settlement from the Company.

 

Litigation related expenses – The Company excludes legal and professional fees associated with certain legal matters which management considers not related to the underlying operating performance of the business.

 

Full year guidance excludes the impact of foreign currency fluctuations.

 

The non-GAAP financial measure should not be considered in isolation from, or as a replacement for, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, as it is not prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
