ARTHROCARE REPORTS SECOND QUARTER 2011 FINANCIAL RESULTS
Austin, Texas — August 3, 2011 — ArthroCare Corp. (NASDAQ: ARTC), a leader in developing state-of-the-art, minimally invasive surgical products, announced its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2011 as follows:
SECOND QUARTER 2011 HIGHLIGHTS
· Total revenues of $91.3 million from continuing operations
· Income from operations of $15.0 million, or operating margin of 16.4 percent
· Net income available to common stockholders of $11.5 million, or $0.34 per diluted share
REVENUE
Total revenue from continuing operations for the second quarter of 2011 was $91.3 million, compared to $87.2 million for the second quarter of 2010, an increase of $4.1 million.
Sports Medicine product sales were $57.2 million in the second quarter of 2011 compared to $54.7 million in the same period in 2010, or an increase of $2.4 million. Product sales from the Company’s International markets increased $3.8 million, which was partially offset by a $1.5 million decrease in contract manufactured product sales.
ENT product sales increased $2.3 million, or 9.0 percent, in the second quarter of 2011 compared to the same period of 2010, a result of an increase in product sales related to the Company’s Rapid Rhino® product line and new Coblation products, as well as increased product volume across all geographies in the Company’s International markets.
Other product sales declined $0.8 million in the second quarter of 2011 compared to the same period of 2010.
Had the same foreign currency rates been in effect in the quarter ended June 30, 2011 as were in effect in the second quarter of 2010, the U.S. dollar reported value of product sales would have been lower by $2.9 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2011.
GROSS PRODUCT MARGIN
Gross product margin was 70.2 percent for the second quarter of 2011 compared to 65.9 percent for the second quarter of 2010. Inventory obsolescence charges in the second quarter of 2010 were $1.1 million higher than in the second quarter of 2011.
INCOME FROM OPERATIONS
Income from operations for the second quarter of 2011 was $15.0 million compared to $12.6 million for the same period in 2010, an increase of $2.4 million.
Gross profit was $6.6 million higher in the second quarter of 2011, a result of higher revenue and higher gross product margin as discussed above.
Offsetting the improvement in operating profit from higher gross profit was a $4.1 million increase in operating expenses in the second quarter of 2011 compared to the same period in 2010. The Company incurred exit costs of
$2.5 million during the second quarter of 2011, primarily related to one-time compensation benefits offered to certain employees at the Company’s Sunnyvale, California facility. General and administrative expenses increased $1.3 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2011 compared to the second quarter of 2010, primarily due to accelerated amortization of leasehold improvement costs associated with the facilities affected by the relocation of the Sunnyvale, California activities and increased legal fees associated with indemnification agreements for certain former executives of the Company. Investigation and restatement related costs increased $1.7 million during the second quarter of 2011 compared to the same period in 2010. Investigation and restatement related expenses in the second quarter of 2010 were reduced by insurance recoveries for legal fees of $0.6 million.
The above increases in operating expenses were partially offset by a $1.8 million decrease in research and development (R&D) costs incurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010 as a higher proportion of the Company’s engineering activities were associated with the manufacturing process in the second quarter of 2011, which increased the allocation of R&D costs to inventory and cost of goods sold.
NET INCOME AVAILABLE TO COMMON STOCKHOLDERS
In the second quarter of 2011, net income applicable to common stockholders was $11.5 million or $0.34 per diluted share, compared to $7.3 million, or $0.22 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2010. For the quarter ended June 30, 2011, net income available to common stockholders includes $1.6 million in income from discontinued operations, which includes a $1.3 million after-tax gain from the sale of the related assets.
BALANCE SHEET AND CASH FLOWS
Cash and cash equivalents increased $52.4 million to $184.9 million as of June 30, 2011 from $132.5 million at December 31, 2010. Cash flows provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2011 was $44.0 million compared to $32.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010. As of June 30, 2011, net inventory balances decreased approximately $2.6 million and accounts receivable decreased $0.9 million from December 31, 2010.
