Urologix Reports Fiscal Year 2014 Second Quarter Results
· Second quarter revenue totaled $3.8 million
MINNEAPOLIS, Feb. 4, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Urologix®, Inc. (OTCQB:ULGX), the leading provider of in-office procedures for the safe, durable and effective treatment of BPH, today reported financial results for its fiscal second quarter ended December 31, 2013.
Operating Results for the Second Quarter of Fiscal Year 2014
Second quarter fiscal year 2014 revenue totaled $3.8 million, up 0.7% sequentially which is relatively flat with the first quarter of fiscal year 2014 and down 12.6% compared to the second quarter of fiscal year 2013. The revenue decline compared to the second quarter of fiscal year 2013 was due to lower volume of units sold in both product lines.
“Second quarter revenue improved slightly sequentially, but did not meet our growth expectations. Our results combined with our assessment of where we can have the most impact in our market led us to implement the restructuring of the organization at the beginning of January. Careful management of our resources in advance of the restructuring helped our ending cash position in the quarter,” stated Greg Fluet, Chief Executive Officer. “Our new organizational structure should allow us to meet our operational goals with improved profitability in the future. We remain intently focused on serving the unmet clinical needs of the large number of men suffering from the symptoms related to BPH. The execution of our market development and patient education programs will continue as we work to expand the market for our in-office BPH treatments.”
As of December 31, 2013, the Company’s cash balance was $1.3 million compared to $1.6 million as of September 30, 2013. Cash utilization in the quarter was $284,000. The Company’s cash utilization benefited from increased collections at the end of the calendar year and reduced operating expenses. The Company’s cash needs will be determined by a number of items including operating performance, accessibility of the Silicon Valley Bank (“SVB”) line of credit and the timing of the payment of annual royalty amounts due and unpaid in the second quarter of the fiscal year totaling $650,000 which are included in short-term deferred acquisition payments on the balance sheet. The Company is pleased to announce today that it entered into an amendment to the line of credit with SVB which extends the line through June 30, 2014. Additional information on this extension is included in a separate press release issued today.
Gross profit for the second quarter of fiscal year 2014 was $1.8 million, or 47.2% of revenue, compared to $2.2 million, or 51.4% of revenue, in the second quarter of fiscal year 2013. Gross margin also declined sequentially compared to 49.3% in the first quarter of fiscal year 2014. The change in gross margin compared to the prior year second quarter and first quarter of fiscal year 2014 was primarily due to lower production volumes to reduce inventory levels in the second quarter of fiscal year 2014 as well as higher costs related to the Prostiva product line. The lower production volumes resulted in increased fixed manufacturing costs on a per-unit basis.
Total operating expense was $2.7 million for the second quarter of fiscal year 2014, representing a decline of 12.3% compared to the prior year period and a decline of 11.1% sequentially. The decline as compared to the second quarter of fiscal year 2013 in total operating expense was driven by lower sales and marketing expense as well as lower research and development expense, offset partially by the medical device excise tax which was not assessed in the prior year period. The sequential decline in operating expense was driven by the combination of lower costs in sales and marketing as well as lower legal and audit fees.
For the second quarter of fiscal year 2014, Urologix reported a net loss of $1.1 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $970,000, or $0.05 per diluted share, in the second quarter of fiscal year 2013. The change in net loss in the second quarter of fiscal year 2014 was primarily due to lower sales and gross profit compared to the prior year second quarter. The net loss this quarter represented a modest sequential improvement over the net loss of $1.3 million, or $0.06 per share, in the first quarter of fiscal 2014. The sequential improvement in net loss in the second quarter was driven by lower operating expenses.
