LDR HOLDING CORPORATION REPORTS SECOND QUARTER 2014 RESULTS
Second quarter revenue increased 30.7% year-over-year to $34.8 million
AUSTIN, Texas, August 6, 2014 - LDR Holding Corporation (NASDAQ: LDRH), a global medical device company focused on designing and commercializing novel and proprietary surgical technologies for the treatment of patients suffering from spine disorders, today reported its financial results for the second quarter of 2014.
Second Quarter 2014 Revenue Highlights
• | Total revenue for the second quarter of 2014 increased 30.7% to $34.8 million, compared to $26.6 million for the second quarter of 2013. |
• | Revenue for the second quarter of 2014 from exclusive technology products grew 40.9% to $30.4 million, compared to $21.6 million for the second quarter of 2013. |
• | Revenue in the United States increased 40.0% to $26.3 million in the second quarter of 2014, compared to $18.8 million in the second quarter of 2013, and represented 75.8% of total revenue. |
• | International revenue increased 8.3% during the second quarter of 2014 to $8.4 million, compared to $7.8 million in the second quarter of 2013, and represented 24.2% of total revenue. |
In the second quarter of 2014, LDR's revenue from exclusive technology products grew 40.9% to $30.4 million compared to $21.6 million in the second quarter of 2013, while revenue from traditional fusion products decreased 13.1% to $4.4 million. Revenue from sales of the Company's exclusive cervical products grew 47.3% in the second quarter of 2014 to $21.0 million, compared with $14.2 million in the second quarter of 2013, due principally to the growth of Mobi-C. Additionally, revenue from LDR's exclusive lumbar products in the second quarter increased 28.5% to $9.4 million, compared with $7.3 million in the second quarter of 2013, led by revenue growth of the Avenue L lateral lumbar fusion interbody device. Along with growth in LDR’s non-fusion products led by Mobi-C, LDR’s VerteBRIDGE fusion products for both the cervical and lumbar spine continued to grow, in part, because surgeons who are trained to use Mobi-C can be introduced to the balance of LDR's exclusive technology product lines for use in surgical cases where fusion is appropriate.
Christophe Lavigne, President and Chief Executive Officer of LDR, commented, “Our exclusive technology product revenue grew at a strong rate this quarter, aided by the rapid adoption of Mobi-C in the U.S. market, and higher revenues in both our cervical and lumbar product lines. We continue to be pleased by the strong interest among spine surgeons in Mobi-C, the first and only cervical disc replacement device to receive FDA approval to treat both one-level and two-level cervical disc disease. In addition, independent sales agencies have recognized that Mobi-C and its superiority claim can be used to approach the surgeon community. Mobi-C is the only cervical disc replacement device available to U.S. independent sales agencies.”
Gross profit for the second quarter of 2014 was $28.9 million and gross margin was 83.1%, compared to gross profit of $22.4 million and gross margin of 84.3% for the second quarter of 2013.
Net loss for the second quarter of 2014 was $2.3 million, or $0.09 per share, compared to a net loss of $3.0 million, or $0.62 per share, for the same quarter a year ago.
Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter of 2014 was $0.7 million compared to adjusted EBITDA of $0.8 million for the second quarter of 2013.

Mr. Lavigne added, “Our exclusive technology products uniquely meet patient and surgeon needs and continue to represent a significant growth opportunity in today’s spine marketplace. We intend to fully prepare for this opportunity through investments in our sales and marketing infrastructure and activities, surgeon training and education, our reimbursement and corporate organizations, and additional inventory and instrumentation. We expect these investments will allow us to gain market share and support our long-term growth strategy.”
Balance Sheet and Liquidity
As of June 30, 2014, LDR had $84.3 million in cash and cash equivalents, $108.2 million in working capital and $23.8 million in debt.
2014 Guidance
Based on LDR’s results for the first half of 2014, the Company is increasing its revenue guidance for the full year 2014 to 20% to 21% growth, which implies revenues in a range of approximately $134 million to $135 million. This compares to the previous revenue guidance of 15% to 16% growth, which implied a range of approximately $128 million to $129 million in revenues.
Regarding operating expenses, and as it relates to the Company's ability to prepare for and capture the revenue opportunity in 2014 and beyond, LDR expects to increase its second half 2014 spending compared to the first half by $7.5 million to $8.5 million, excluding sales commissions. The majority of this spending will be in sales and marketing.
In addition, the Company will be making a larger investment in implant inventory of approximately $4 million to $5 million, which increases its working capital, and an investment in capital assets of $10 million to $11 million, primarily for instrumentation sets.

About LDR Holding Corporation
LDR Holding Corporation is a global medical device company focused on designing and commercializing novel and proprietary surgical technologies for the treatment of patients suffering from spine disorders. LDR's primary products are based on its exclusive VerteBRIDGE fusion and Mobi non-fusion technology platforms and are designed for applications in the cervical and lumbar spine. These technologies enable products that are less invasive, provide greater intra-operative flexibility, offer simplified surgical techniques and promote improved clinical outcomes for patients as compared to existing alternatives. In August 2013, the Company received approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the Mobi-C cervical disc replacement device, the first and only cervical disc replacement device to receive FDA approval to treat both one-level and two-level cervical disc disease.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement LDR's consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), LDR uses Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, in this release. Management defines Adjusted EBITDA as operating income (loss) plus depreciation and amortization and stock-based compensation expense. The Company presents Adjusted EBITDA because management believes it is a useful indicator of operating performance. LDR's management uses Adjusted EBITDA principally as a measure of operating performance and believes that Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors because it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in their evaluation of the operating performance of companies in industries similar to LDR. Management also uses Adjusted EBITDA for planning purposes, including the preparation of the annual operating budget and financial projections.
A reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measure used in this release to the most comparable U.S. GAAP measures for the respective periods can be found in a table later in this release immediately following the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for a measure of the Company's liquidity or operating performance prepared in accordance with GAAP and is not indicative of operating income (loss) from operations as determined under GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA has limitations that should be considered before using this measure to evaluate the Company's liquidity or financial performance. Adjusted EBITDA does not include certain expenses that may be necessary to review LDR's operating results and liquidity

requirements. Management's definition and calculation of Adjusted EBITDA may differ from that of other companies.
