Urologix Reports Results for
Fourth Quarter and Fiscal Year 2012

 

  • Fiscal year 2012 revenue increased 35% over the fiscal year 2011 period in line with annual guidance
  • Fourth quarter revenue of $4.5 million up 54% year-over-year and down 5% sequentially
  • Positive cash flow in the fourth quarter of $42,000
  • Completion of secondary offering on August 7, 2012 raised $3.8 million

 

MINNEAPOLIS — August 23, 2012 — Urologix®, Inc. (NASDAQ:ULGX), the leading provider of in-office procedures for the safe, durable and effective treatment of BPH, today reported financial results for its fiscal year fourth quarter and fiscal year ended June 30, 2012.

 

Fourth quarter fiscal year 2012 revenue totaled $4.5 million, up 54.2% year-over-year and down 5.0% sequentially. The fourth quarter year over year increase in revenue was driven by the incremental contribution of Prostiva® Radio Frequency (RF) Therapy product revenue. The sequential decline in total Urologix revenue was due to lower procedure kit sales volume in the Company’s direct channel.

 

As of June 30, 2012, the Company’s cash balance was $1.9 million. The Company generated $42,000 in cash flow in the fourth fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2012 compared to cash utilization of $729,000 in the same period last year. The cash performance is a result, in part, of beneficial payment terms on Prostiva product inventory and the timing of royalty payments. Subsequent to the June 30, 2012 year end, the Company successfully completed a secondary offering that contributed an additional $3.8 million to its cash balances.

 

“Fiscal 2012 was an important year for Urologix. The acquisition of the Prostiva RF Therapy System at the beginning of the year established the Company as the leading provider of in-office technologies for the treatment of BPH,” stated Stryker Warren, Jr., CEO. “In addition to successfully integrating this sizable acquisition, we accomplished a great deal this year including: strengthening our balance sheet, enhancing our sales organization, adding international distribution and implementing our compelling market development programs. While we were not pleased with our top-line performance over the past year, we remain focused on executing our growth strategy and we intend to improve results in fiscal 2013.”

 

 
 

 

 

Gross profit for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2012 was $2.3 million, or 50.6% of revenue, compared to $1.3 million, or 43.0%, in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2011. The increase in gross profit compared to the prior year was impacted by an accounting adjustment made in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2011 to correct over-capitalized manufacturing variances of approximately $158,000. This adjustment negatively impacted fourth quarter fiscal year 2011 gross margin by 540 basis points. Gross margin for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2012 was flat compared to the third quarter of fiscal year 2012. Gross margin for the fourth quarter was impacted by non-cash items related to Prostiva purchase accounting which lowered gross margin by 110 basis points.

 

Total operating expense of $3.4 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2012 increased 30.9% year-over-year driven primarily by the expansion of the direct sales force that occurred with the acquisition of the Prostiva product line. Total operating expense increased 3.8% on a sequential basis due to incremental investment in sales and marketing compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2012. A gain of $172,000 related to the change in the fair value of the contingent consideration for the Prostiva business was recorded in operating expense for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2012.

 

For the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2012, Urologix reported a net loss of $1.2 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $1.3 million, or $0.09 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2011. The net loss in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2012 was adversely affected by $205,000 of non-cash imputed interest expense on deferred acquisition payments.

 

For the fiscal year 2012 period ended June 30, 2012, revenues totaled $17.0 million, an increase of 35.4% compared to revenues of $12.6 million in fiscal year 2011. Fiscal year 2012 revenue performance compared to prior year was fueled by the addition of sales of Prostiva product after completion of the acquisition.

 

Gross profit for fiscal year 2012 was $8.4 million, or 49.2% of revenue. Gross margin declined 280 basis points year-over-year driven primarily by the addition of the Prostiva business to the product mix. The impact of non-cash expenses this fiscal year related to Prostiva purchase accounting negatively impacted gross margin by approximately 140 basis points. Total operating expense of $12.5 million increased 22.0% year-over-year primarily as a result of the previously stated investment in sales and marketing.

 

The Company reported a net loss of $4.7 million, or $0.32 per diluted share, for fiscal year 2012, compared to a net loss of $3.7 million, or $0.26 per diluted share, in the prior fiscal year period.

 

Outlook

 

The Company is introducing a fiscal year 2013 total revenue guidance range of $17.5 million to $19 million.
