Kips Bay Medical Reports Second Quarter 2011 Results & FDA Update

 

Minneapolis, MN, August 10, 2011 (BUSINESS WIRE)—Kips Bay Medical, Inc. (NASDAQ: KIPS) today announced financial results for the second quarter and six months ended July 2, 2011.

 

Financial Results

 

Net sales were $48,000 in the second quarter of 2011 and 2010 while gross profit was down 6.9% or $2,000 in the second quarter of 2011 as compared to the second quarter of 2010. Net loss in the second quarter of 2011 was $1.0 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $5.9 million, or $0.43 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2010.  During the second quarter of 2011, the Company initiated sales with one new independent distributor, and realized a gross margin of 56.3% compared to 60.4% in the second quarter of 2010. The decline in gross margin during the current quarter resulted from changes in the distributor sales mix and the effects of reduced manufacturing volumes on the cost of sales. Net loss for the second quarter of 2010 included a $5.0 million non-cash charge for the first milestone payment payable to Medtronic, Inc. triggered by the first commercial sale of the eSVS MESH. This milestone was paid in June 2011 on the one-year anniversary of the first commercial sale.

 

Net sales increased to $158,000 for the six months ended July 2, 2011, up from $48,000 for the same period in the prior year.  The net loss in the first half of 2011 was $2.0 million, or $0.13 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $9.4 million, or $0.70 per diluted share, in the first half of 2010.   The Company achieved a gross margin of 63.3% compared to 60.4% for the first half of 2011 and 2010, respectively. The net loss for the first half of 2010 included both the charge for the $5.0 million milestone obligation payable to Medtronic and a $2.3 million non-cash charge for an increase in the estimated fair value of an investor stock purchase option liability.

 

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow

 

Cash and short-term investments increased to $11.1 million at July 2, 2011 from $3.8 million as of December 31, 2010. Total current assets increased to $12.1 million from $5.7 million over the same period. These increases were driven by our Initial Public Offering (“IPO”) completed in February 2011, from which the Company realized net proceeds of approximately $13.6 million.

 

Current liabilities decreased from $5.7 million as of December 31, 2010 to $265,000 as of July 2, 2011. This decrease resulted from the payment of the $5.0 million milestone obligation and the payment of certain expenses related to the Company’s IPO that were both in current liabilities as of December 31, 2010.

 

Cash used in operations increased from $2.1 million for the six months ended July 3, 2010 to $6.3 million for the six months ended July 2, 2011. This increase resulted primarily from the payment of the first $5.0 million milestone obligation in June 2011.

 



 

FDA Update

 

As previously reported, the United States Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) had indicated that they needed to review the Company’s IDE information with outside experts before they could provide further guidance to the Company.  In the Company’s most recent conversations, the FDA has indicated that due to internal processing delays, the FDA has provided the Company’s IDE information to these outside experts for this review only within the past week.

 

Given that the outside experts have not had the opportunity to review the Company’s IDE information, the Company is not in a position to provide an update on the expected filing date for an amended IDE submission.

 

Looking Ahead

 

Sales, general and administrative expenses will increase slightly as the Company continues to expand its sales and marketing activities.  The Company expects to make significant investments in R&D once it is able to commence the US IDE trial and post-market clinical studies to be conducted in Europe. The Company’s ability to maintain and improve margins will be dependent upon both the pricing negotiated with distributors and future production levels required to support commercial sales and clinical trials.

 

“While we wait for the opportunity to move forward with the US regulatory process, we are not sitting still” said Manny Villafaña, Kips Bay Medical Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.  “We continue to focus our efforts on developing our international business.  During this past quarter we spent a significant amount of time, both in Europe and the Far East, meeting with doctors and hospital administrators to expand the base of institutions implanting our eSVS MESH and to lay the foundation for the use of the eSVS MESH at still more institutions.”
