AtriCure Reports Second Quarter 2014 Financial Results and

Updates 2014 Outlook

 

    Revenue of $26.5 million – up 29.8%

 

    U.S. sales of $19.9 million – up 28.8%

 

    International sales of $6.6 million – up 32.9%; 29.1% constant currency

WEST CHESTER, Ohio – July 24, 2014 – AtriCure, Inc. (Nasdaq: ATRC), a leading atrial fibrillation (“Afib”) medical device provider, today announced financial results for the second quarter of 2014.

“We are pleased with our performance in the second quarter in which we delivered solid revenue growth while integrating Estech that further positions us as a leader in the treatment of Afib. We also continued to execute on our clinical trials and deliver data that prove the benefit of our innovative products to patients”, said Mike Carrel, President and Chief Executive Officer of AtriCure. “Our goal is unchanged—to drive sustainable growth by simultaneously investing in training and education, clinical trials and innovative products.”

Second Quarter 2014 Financial Results

Revenue for the second quarter of 2014 was $26.5 million, an increase of $6.1 million or 29.8% (28.9% on a constant currency basis) compared to second quarter 2013 revenue. Domestic revenue increased 28.8% to $19.9 million, driven by strong sales of ablation-related open-heart, ablation-related minimally invasive, and AtriClip products. International revenue was $6.6 million, an increase of $1.6 million or 32.9% (29.1% on a constant currency basis) when compared to $5.0 million for the second quarter of 2013. International revenue growth was driven primarily by increases in product sales in Europe and Asia.

Gross profit for the second quarter of 2014 was $18.8 million, compared to $15.1 million for the second quarter of 2013. Gross margin for the second quarter of 2014 and 2013 was 70.8% and 74.0%, respectively. The decrease in gross margin was primarily due to lower product margins on the acquired Estech products, along with increased mix of international sales and heavier placement of loaned equipment.


Operating expenses for the second quarter of 2014 increased 29.1%, or $4.9 million, compared to the second quarter of 2013. The increase in operating expenses was driven primarily by an increase in selling, marketing, clinical, product development and training expenses.

Loss from operations for the second quarter of 2014 was $2.9 million, compared to $1.6 million for the second quarter of 2013. Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, was a loss of $2.5 million for the second quarter of 2014, compared to a $0.3 million loss for the second quarter of 2013. Net loss per share was $0.10 for the second quarter of 2014 and $0.09 for the second quarter of 2013.

2014 Guidance

Management projects that 2014 revenue will be in the range of $103 million to $105 million, which represents an increase of 26% to 28% over 2013. This compares to previous expectations of 2014 revenue in the range of $101 million to $104 million.

Consistent with the guidance provided in February, adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, is projected to be a loss in the range of $9 million to $10 million for 2014, of which approximately $3.5 million of expense will be related to the Estech transaction. AtriCure expects the Estech transaction to be dilutive to earnings in 2014 and accretive in 2015 and beyond.

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements include statements that address activities, events or developments that AtriCure expects, believes or anticipates will or may occur in the future, such as earnings estimates (including projections and guidance), other predictions of financial performance, launches by AtriCure of new products and market acceptance of AtriCure’s products. Forward-looking statements are based on AtriCure’s experience and perception of current conditions, trends, expected future developments and other factors it believes are appropriate under the circumstances and are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond AtriCure’s control. These risks and


uncertainties include the rate and degree of market acceptance of AtriCure’s products, AtriCure’s ability to develop and market new and enhanced products, the timing of and ability to obtain and maintain regulatory clearances and approvals for its products, the timing of and ability to obtain reimbursement of procedures utilizing AtriCure’s products, AtriCure’s ability to consummate acquisitions or, if consummated, to successfully integrate acquired businesses into AtriCure’s operations, AtriCure’s ability to recognize the benefits of acquisitions, including potential synergies and cost savings, failure of an acquisition or acquired company to achieve its plans and objectives generally, risk that proposed or consummated acquisitions may disrupt operations or pose difficulties in employee retention or otherwise affect financial or operating results, competition from existing and new products and procedures or AtriCure’s ability to effectively react to other risks and uncertainties described from time to time in AtriCure’s SEC filings, such as fluctuation of quarterly financial results, reliance on third party manufacturers and suppliers, litigation or other proceedings, government regulation and stock price volatility. AtriCure does not guarantee any forward-looking statement, and actual results may differ materially from those projected.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement AtriCure’s condensed consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, AtriCure uses certain non-GAAP financial measures in this release as supplemental financial metrics. Non-GAAP financial measures provide an indication of performance excluding certain items. Our management believes that in order to properly understand short-term and long-term financial trends, investors may wish to consider the impact of these excluded items in addition to GAAP measures. The excluded items vary in frequency and/or impact on our continuing operations and our management believes that the excluded items are typically not reflective of our ongoing core business operations. Further, management uses results of operations before these excluded items as a basis for its strategic planning. The non-GAAP financial measures used by AtriCure may not be the same or calculated the same as those used by other companies. Reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures used in this release to the most comparable GAAP measures for the respective periods can be found in tables later in this release. Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for AtriCure’s financial results prepared and reported in accordance with GAAP.
