Endologix Reports Third Quarter 2017 Financial Results


Endologix, Inc. (NASDAQ:ELGX), a developer and marketer of innovative treatments for aortic disorders, today announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2017.

"Third quarter results were in line with our expectations, despite weather related disruptions," commented John McDermott, Endologix's Chief Executive Officer. "We are very pleased to have received IDE approval from the FDA for EVAS2, a confirmatory clinical study to evaluate our Gen2 Nellix® EndoVascular Aneurysm Sealing System with the refined IFU. Subsequent to the end of the quarter, we also strengthened our executive team with the addition of John Onopchenko, our new Chief Operating Officer, who brings a strong track record of success and a wealth of global medical device experience to Endologix. While our recapture with AFX2 has been slower than expected, necessitating a reduction in our revenue guidance, we are pleased with the continued adoption of Ovation, which we expect to be a near-term growth driver. Additionally, clinical study enrollment remains on track with our new Ovation AltoTM device, which we currently anticipate will be approved in the U.S. and Europe in 2019."

Financial Results

Global revenue in the third quarter of 2017 was $46.0 million, an 11.8% decrease from $52.1 million in the third quarter of 2016. U.S. revenue in the third quarter of 2017 was $30.9 million, a 15.0% decrease from U.S. revenue of $36.3 million in the third quarter of 2016. International revenue was $15.1 million, a 4.5% decrease from International revenue of $15.8 million in the third quarter of 2016. On a constant currency basis, third quarter 2017 International revenue decreased 6.9%.

Gross profit was $29.1 million in the third quarter of 2017, which represents a gross margin of 63.3%. This compares to a gross profit of $36.9 million, or a gross margin of 70.9%, in the third quarter of 2016.

Total operating expenses were $38.5 million in the third quarter of 2017, compared to $48.2 million in the third quarter of 2016. Third quarter 2016 operating expenses included $0.4 million of expenses related to the TriVascular merger. Excluding these items, operating expenses in the third quarter of 2017 were $9.4 million lower than in the prior-year period, representing a decline of 19.6%, which was driven primarily by cost synergies related to the TriVascular merger.

Net loss for the third quarter of 2017 was $14.3 million, or $(0.17) per share, compared to a net loss of $15.2 million, or $(0.18) per share, a year ago. Adjusted Net Loss (non-GAAP, defined below) totaled $9.3 million, compared to an Adjusted Net Loss of $9.1 million for the third quarter of 2016. Endologix reported a negative Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP, defined below) of $4.3 million for the third quarter of 2017, compared to a negative Adjusted EBITDA of $3.8 million for the third quarter of 2016.

Total cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash were $77.0 million as of September 30, 2017. As of September 30, 2017, the Company had $15.4 million outstanding on the Deerfield revolver.

Financial Guidance

Due to slower than expected AFX2 sales recovery in the U.S., Endologix is reducing its previously issued revenue guidance. The Company now anticipates 2017 revenue in the range of $181 million to $184 million, compared to the previous range of $185 million to $190 million. As a result of careful expense management, the Company is revising its operating expense guidance to a range of $165 million to $170 million, compared to the previous guidance of $170 million. The Company now expects 2017 GAAP loss per share to be in the range of $(0.91) to $(0.93), compared to the previous range of $(0.91) to $(0.95).

About Endologix

Endologix, Inc. develops and manufactures minimally invasive treatments for aortic disorders.

Once an AAA develops, it continues to enlarge and, if left untreated, becomes increasingly susceptible to rupture. The overall patient mortality rate for ruptured AAA is approximately 80%, making it a leading cause of death in the U.S. For more information, visit www.endologix.com.

The Nellix® EndoVascular Aneurysm Sealing System has obtained CE Mark in the EU and is only approved as an investigational device in the United States. The Ovation Alto® System is only approved as an investigational device and is not currently approved in any market.

Discussion of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Endologix's management believes that the non-GAAP measures of (1) "Adjusted Net Income (Loss)" and (2) "Adjusted EBITDA" enhance an investor's overall understanding of Endologix's financial and operating performance and its future prospects by (i) being more reflective of core operating performance and (ii) being more comparable with financial results over various periods. Endologix's management uses these financial measures for strategic decision making, forecasting future financial results, and evaluating current period financial and operating performance. The presentation of non-GAAP 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.

"GAAP" is generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.

Adjusted Net Income (Loss) Definition:

(1) "Adjusted Net Income (Loss)" is a non-GAAP measure defined by Endologix as net income (loss) under GAAP, excluding: (i) the fair value adjustment to the Nellix® acquisition contingent consideration; (ii) interest expense; (iii) foreign currency (gains) or losses; (iv) legal settlement costs; (v) contract termination and business acquisition expenses; (vi) business development expenses, including licensing costs related to research and development activities; (vii) restructuring and other transition costs; (viii) fair value adjustment of derivative liabilities; (ix) inventory step-up amortization; and (x) loss on extinguishment of debt.

In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, this GAAP adjustment to net loss specifically represents: (i) the fair value adjustment to Nellix contingent consideration liability; (ii) interest expense; (iii) foreign currency (gains) or losses; (iv) restructuring and other transition costs; and (v) loss on extinguishment of debt.

In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, this GAAP adjustment to net loss specifically represents: (i) the fair value adjustment to Nellix contingent consideration liability; (ii) interest expense; (iii) foreign currency (gains) or losses; (iv) legal settlement costs; (v) contract termination and business acquisition expenses; (vi) restructuring and other transition costs; (vii) fair value adjustment of derivative liabilities; and (viii) inventory step-up amortization.

In future periods, Adjusted Net Income (Loss) will continue to exclude: (i) the fair value adjustments to the Nellix contingent consideration liability; (ii) interest expense; (iii) foreign currency (gains) or losses; (iv) legal settlement costs; (v) contract termination and business acquisition expenses; (vi) business development expenses; (vii) restructuring and other transition costs; (viii) fair value adjustment of derivative liabilities; (ix) inventory step-up amortization; (x) loss on extinguishment of debt; and (xi) other non-recurring expenses or income, as described by Endologix.

Adjusted EBITDA Definition:

(2) "Adjusted EBITDA" is a non-GAAP measure defined by Endologix as "Adjusted Net Income (Loss)" excluding income tax (benefit) expense, depreciation and amortization expense, and stock-based compensation expense.
