Cardiovascular Systems, Inc. Reports Fiscal 2018 Fourth-Quarter Financial Results
Cardiovascular Systems, Inc. (CSI®) (NASDAQ: CSII), a
medical device company developing and commercializing innovative
interventional treatment systems for peripheral and coronary artery
disease, today reported financial results for its fiscal fourth quarter,
ended June 30, 2018.
CSI's fourth-quarter revenues were $59.2 million, an increase of $6.2
million from the fourth-quarter of fiscal 2017. Gross profit margin
remained constant at 81.7%. Operating expenses increased $2.3 million to
$44.6 million, driven primarily by the addition of clinical specialists
in the first half of fiscal 2018, and increased research and development
costs.
Fourth-quarter net income was $3.7 million, or $0.11 per basic and
diluted share, compared to net income of $0.8 million, or $0.02 per
share, in the prior-year period. Adjusted EBITDA increased $3.0 million
to $7.0 million.
Scott Ward, CSI's Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, said,
"We are driving strong growth and market-leading performance in our
coronary and peripheral atherectomy businesses through strong sales
execution in the United States, new product introductions and the launch
of our business in Japan."
Fiscal year 2018 revenues grew 5.9% to $217.0 million. Gross margin
increased to 81.8% compared to 80.8% in the prior year, primarily driven
by lower unit costs. Operating expenses increased $8.3 million, or 5.0%,
to $175.3 million. Net income of $1.7 million, or $0.05 per common
share, represented a $3.5 million improvement compared to a net loss of
$(1.8) million, or $(0.06) per common share, in fiscal year 2017.
Added Ward, "We successfully delivered annual revenue growth and our
first annual net profit despite experiencing temporary business
disruptions early in fiscal 2018. Throughout the year, we remained
focused on fulfilling our mission to serve patients suffering from
coronary and peripheral artery disease. In total, our orbital
atherectomy systems were used in the treatment of over 67,000 patients.
"Fiscal 2018 included important milestones for CSI as we introduced
important innovations on our existing peripheral and coronary orbital
atherectomy systems. We also began expanding our product portfolio with
procedure support products and launched orbital atherectomy in Japan,
our first international market. We anticipate that growth in orbital
atherectomy, a broader product portfolio and international expansion
will remain important growth drivers in future periods."
OrbusNeich to Distribute CSI Products Internationally In
July, CSI announced an exclusive international distribution agreement
with OrbusNeich to sell its coronary and peripheral orbital atherectomy
systems outside the United States and Japan. OrbusNeich manufactures and
sells an extensive portfolio of coronary and peripheral products,
including stents, balloons and microcatheters. The company operates 12
regional sales offices throughout the world and their products are
currently sold in over 60 countries.
Ward said, "We are excited to expand our strategic partnership with
OrbusNeich, a globally recognized leader offering an extensive portfolio
of vascular intervention products through a large international sales
channel that serves Europe, Asia and the Middle East. This partnership
leverages the global infrastructure of OrbusNeich while allowing CSI to
focus our international efforts on physician training and education to
support the expanded use of orbital atherectomy."

Fiscal 2019 Full-Year Outlook and Commentary Ward said, "We
anticipate that the growth drivers that we implemented during fiscal
2018 will gain momentum and drive revenue growth of 11%-15% in fiscal
2019."
For the fiscal 2019 ending June 30, 2019, CSI anticipates:
-
Revenue in a range of $240 million to $250 million;

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures To supplement CSI's
consolidated condensed financial statements prepared in accordance with
U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), CSI uses certain
non-GAAP financial measures in this release. Reconciliations of the
non-GAAP financial measures used in this release to the most comparable
U.S. GAAP measures for the respective periods can be found in tables
later in this release immediately following the consolidated statements
of operations. Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as
analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as a
substitute for CSI's financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP.
About Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) As many as 18 million
Americans, most over age 65, suffer from PAD, which is caused by the
accumulation of plaque in peripheral arteries reducing blood flow.
Symptoms include leg pain when walking or at rest. Left untreated, PAD
can lead to severe pain, immobility, non-healing wounds and eventually
limb amputation. With risk factors such as diabetes and obesity on the
rise, the prevalence of PAD is growing at double-digit rates.
Millions of patients with PAD may benefit from treatment with orbital
atherectomy utilizing the Stealth 360® and Diamondback 360®
Peripheral Orbital Atherectomy Systems, minimally invasive catheter
systems developed and manufactured by CSI. These systems use a
diamond-coated crown, attached to an orbiting shaft, which sands away
plaque while preserving healthy vessel tissue - a critical factor in
preventing reoccurrences. Balloon angioplasty and stents have
significant shortcomings in treating hard, calcified lesions. Stents are
prone to fractures and high recurrence rates, and treatment of hard,
calcified lesions often leads to vessel damage and suboptimal results.
About Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) CAD is a
life-threatening condition and a leading cause of death in men and women
in the United States. CAD occurs when a fatty material called plaque
builds up on the walls of arteries that supply blood to the heart. The
plaque buildup causes the arteries to harden and narrow
(atherosclerosis), reducing blood flow. The risk of CAD increases if a
person has one or more of the following: high blood pressure, abnormal
cholesterol levels, diabetes, or family history of early heart disease.
According to the American Heart Association, 16.3 million people in the
United States have been diagnosed with CAD, the most common form of
heart disease. Heart disease claims more than 600,000 lives in the
United States each year. According to estimates, significant arterial
calcium is present in nearly 40% of patients undergoing a percutaneous
coronary intervention (PCI). Significant calcium contributes to poor
outcomes and higher treatment costs in coronary interventions when
traditional therapies are used, including a significantly higher
occurrence of death and major adverse cardiac events (MACE).
About Cardiovascular Systems, Inc. Cardiovascular Systems,
Inc., based in St. Paul, Minn., is a medical device company focused on
developing and commercializing innovative solutions for treating
vascular and coronary disease. The company's Orbital Atherectomy Systems
treat calcified and fibrotic plaque in arterial vessels throughout the
leg and heart in a few minutes of treatment time, and address many of
the limitations associated with existing surgical, catheter and
pharmacological treatment alternatives. The U.S. FDA granted 510(k)
clearance for the use of the Diamondback Orbital Atherectomy System in
peripheral arteries in August 2007. In October 2013, the company
received FDA approval for the use of the Diamondback Orbital Atherectomy
System in coronary arteries. The Stealth 360® Peripheral
Orbital Atherectomy System (OAS) received CE Mark in October 2014. In
March 2017, the company received PMDA approval in Japan for the
Diamondback 360® Coronary OAS Micro Crown and
reimbursement approval effective February 2018. To date, 392,000 of
CSI's devices have been sold to leading institutions across the United
States and Japan. For more information, visit the company's website at www.csi360.com.

and Diamondback 360® PAD System are percutaneous orbital
atherectomy systems indicated for use as therapy in patients with
occlusive atherosclerotic disease in peripheral arteries and stenotic
material from artificial arteriovenous dialysis fistulae. The systems
are contraindicated for use in coronary arteries, bypass grafts, stents
or where thrombus or dissections are present. Although the incidence of
adverse events is rare, potential events that can occur with atherectomy
include: pain, hypotension, CVA/TIA, death, dissection, perforation,
distal embolization, thrombus formation, hematuria, abrupt or acute
vessel closure, or arterial spasm. See the instructions for use for
detailed information regarding the procedure, indications,
contraindications, warnings, precautions, and potential adverse events.
For further information call CSI at 1-877-274-0901 and/or consult CSI's

Coronary Product Indications: The Diamondback 360®
Coronary Orbital Atherectomy System (OAS) is a percutaneous orbital
atherectomy system indicated to facilitate stent delivery in patients
with coronary artery disease (CAD) who are acceptable candidates for
PTCA or stenting due to de novo, severely calcified coronary
artery lesions.
Contraindications: The OAS is contraindicated when the ViperWire®
guide wire cannot pass across the coronary lesion or the target lesion
is within a bypass graft or stent. The OAS is contraindicated when the
patient is not an appropriate candidate for bypass surgery, angioplasty,
or atherectomy therapy, or has angiographic evidence of thrombus, or has
only one open vessel, or has angiographic evidence of significant
dissection at the treatment site and for women who are pregnant or
children.
Warnings/Precautions: Performing treatment in excessively
tortuous vessels or bifurcations may result in vessel damage; The OAS
was only evaluated in severely calcified lesions, A temporary pacing
lead may be necessary when treating lesions in the right coronary and
circumflex arteries; On-site surgical back-up should be included as a
clinical consideration; Use in patients with an ejection fraction (EF)
of less than 25% has not been evaluated. See the instructions for use
before performing Diamondback 360 Coronary OAS procedures for
detailed information regarding the procedure, indications,
contraindications, warnings, precautions, and potential adverse events.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures To supplement CSI's consolidated
condensed financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP, CSI
uses a non-GAAP financial measure referred to as "Adjusted EBITDA" in
this release.
Reconciliations of this non-GAAP measure to the most comparable U.S.
GAAP measure for the respective periods can be found in the following
tables. In addition, an explanation of the manner in which CSI's
management uses this measure to conduct and evaluate its business, the
economic substance behind management's decision to use this measure, the
substantive reasons why management believes that this measure provides
useful information to investors, the material limitations associated
with the use of this measure and the manner in which management
compensates for those limitations is included following the
reconciliation table.

Use and Economic Substance of Non-GAAP Financial Measures Used by CSI
and Usefulness of Such Non-GAAP Financial Measures to Investors CSI
uses Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure of performance and
believes this measure facilitates operating performance comparisons from
period to period and company to company by factoring out potential
differences caused by depreciation and amortization expense and non-cash
charges such as stock based compensation. CSI's management uses Adjusted
EBITDA to analyze the underlying trends in CSI's business, assess the
performance of CSI's core operations, establish operational goals and
forecasts that are used to allocate resources and evaluate CSI's
performance period over period and in relation to its competitors'
operating results. Additionally, CSI's management is evaluated on the
basis of Adjusted EBITDA when determining achievement of their incentive
compensation performance targets.
CSI believes that presenting Adjusted EBITDA provides investors greater
transparency to the information used by CSI's management for its
financial and operational decision-making and allows investors to see
CSI's results "through the eyes" of management. CSI also believes that
providing this information better enables CSI's investors to understand
CSI's operating performance and evaluate the methodology used by CSI's
management to evaluate and measure such performance.
The following is an explanation of each of the items that management
excluded from Adjusted EBITDA and the reasons for excluding each of
these individual items:
-
Stock-based compensation. CSI excludes stock-based compensation
expense from its non-GAAP financial measures primarily because such
expense, while constituting an ongoing and recurring expense, is not
an expense that requires cash settlement. CSI's management also
believes that excluding this item from CSI's non-GAAP results is
useful to investors to understand the application of stock-based
compensation guidance and its impact on CSI's operational performance,
liquidity and its ability to make additional investments in the
company, and it allows for greater transparency to certain line items
in CSI's financial statements.
-
Depreciation and amortization expense. CSI excludes depreciation and
amortization expense from its non-GAAP financial measures primarily
because such expenses, while constituting ongoing and recurring
expenses, are not expenses that require cash settlement and are not
used by CSI's management to assess the core profitability of CSI's
business operations. CSI's management also believes that excluding
these items from CSI's non-GAAP results is useful to investors to
understand CSI's operational performance, liquidity and its ability to
make additional investments in the company.
Material Limitations Associated with the Use of Non-GAAP Financial
Measures and Manner in which CSI Compensates for these Limitations Non-GAAP
financial measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not
be considered in isolation or as a substitute for CSI's financial
results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Some of the limitations
associated with CSI's use of these non-GAAP financial measures are:
-
Items such as stock-based compensation do not directly affect CSI's
cash flow position; however, such items reflect economic costs to CSI
and are not reflected in CSI's "Adjusted EBITDA" and therefore these
non-GAAP measures do not reflect the full economic effect of these
items.
-
Non-GAAP financial measures are not based on any comprehensive set of
accounting rules or principles and therefore other companies may
calculate similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures differently
than CSI, limiting the usefulness of those measures for comparative
purposes.
-
CSI's management exercises judgment in determining which types of
charges or other items should be excluded from the non-GAAP financial
measures CSI uses. CSI compensates for these limitations by relying
primarily upon its GAAP results and using non-GAAP financial measures
only supplementally. CSI provides full disclosure of each non-GAAP
financial measure.
-
CSI uses and detailed reconciliations of each non-GAAP measure to its
most directly comparable GAAP measure. CSI encourages investors to
review these reconciliations. CSI qualifies its use of non-GAAP
financial measures with cautionary statements as set forth above.
