LDR HOLDING CORPORATION REPORTS SECOND QUARTER 2015 RESULTS

Second quarter revenue increased 19.4% year-over-year to $41.5 million or 25.5% constant currency


AUSTIN, Texas, August 5, 2015 - 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 ended June 30, 2015.
Second Quarter 2015 Revenue Highlights
Total revenue in the second quarter of 2015 increased 19.4% to $41.5 million, compared to $34.8 million in the second quarter of 2014. On a constant currency basis, total revenue grew 25.5%.
Revenue from exclusive technology products in the second quarter of 2015 grew 25.8% to $38.2 million, compared to $30.4 million in the second quarter of 2014. On a constant currency basis, exclusive technology products revenue grew 30.1%.    
Revenue in the United States increased 26.4% to $33.3 million in the second quarter of 2015, compared to $26.3 million in the second quarter of 2014, and represented 80.2% of total revenue.
International revenue decreased 2.3% during the second quarter of 2015 to $8.2 million compared to $8.4 million in the second quarter of 2014. On a constant currency basis, international revenue increased 22.6%.
Revenue from sales of the Company’s exclusive cervical products grew 36.5%, or 41.5% on a constant currency basis, in the second quarter of 2015 to $28.6 million, compared with $21.0 million in the second quarter of 2014, due principally to the growth from sales of the Mobi-C® cervical disc. Additionally, revenue from LDR's exclusive lumbar products in the second quarter increased 2.0%, or 4.8% on a constant currency basis, to $9.6 million, compared with $9.4 million in the second quarter of 2014. Along with growth in the Company’s non-fusion products, led by Mobi-C, sales of LDR’s VerteBRIDGE® fusion products for both the cervical and lumbar spine continued to grow, in part, because surgeons who were trained on the use of Mobi-C were introduced to the VerteBRIDGE exclusive technology product lines for use in surgical cases where fusion is appropriate.
Christophe Lavigne, President and Chief Executive Officer of LDR, commented, “I am pleased to announce that in June 2015, we received 510(k) clearance from the FDA for our Avenue® T posterior transforaminal interbody fusion cage. Avenue T is our first posterior interbody solution for the lumbar spine incorporating VerteBRIDGE Plating Technology.” He added, “We believe that Avenue T, along with our other current and planned exclusive lumbar technologies, enables a new vision for the instrumented surgical treatment of the degenerative lumbar spine. The Minimal Implant Volume concept, or MIVo, is a new surgical philosophy which, in the lumbar spine, extends the benefits of VerteBRIDGE to new applications. We believe this approach may allow surgeons to reduce the volume of spinal implant hardware by 45% to 60% as compared to traditional pedicle screw constructs, reduce the trauma and soft tissue disruption through a minimally invasive surgical approach and preserve surgical revision options if necessary in the future. The MIVo approach avoids the use of pedicle screws through the combination of the benefits of the primary stability provided by VerteBRIDGE Plating Technology with less invasive additional posterior stabilization such as our InterBRIDGE® interspinous fusion device.”
Gross profit for the second quarter of 2015 was $34.7 million and gross margin was 83.6%, compared to gross profit of $28.9 million and gross margin of 83.1% for the second quarter of 2014. The improvement

1



in gross margin is due to geographic mix and better freight rate management, partially offset by royalties due to product mix.
Net loss for the second quarter of 2015 was $5.8 million, or $0.22 per share, compared to a net loss of $2.3 million, or $0.09 per share, for the same quarter a year ago.
Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter of 2015 was $(0.7) million compared to adjusted EBITDA of $0.7 million for the second quarter of 2014.
Mr. Lavigne added, “During the second quarter, two papers related to our unique technologies were published, one in the Journal of Spinal Disorders and Techniques and another in Spine, including the four-year data from the PMA trial on Mobi-C versus fusion for one-level, and one and two-level cervical disc disease, respectively, adding to the clinical publications supporting our technologies. Moreover, we are excited to announce that there will be three podium presentations on the long-term, five-year evidence on Mobi-C versus fusion for one and two-level disc disease at the North American Spine Society (NASS) annual meeting October 14-17, 2015 in Chicago, IL. We believe that these podium presentations, complementing five podium presentations at NASS 2014 last November, and presentations made at other international spine societies during 2015, are important in establishing Mobi-C as the leading cervical non-fusion option for surgeons and their patients.”
He continued, “We continued to execute on our Horizon 2016 plan in the second quarter, making investments in sales, marketing, physician education and reimbursement to develop and adapt our organization to take advantage of our ‘first mover’ position with Mobi-C being the only FDA-approved two-level cervical disc replacement solution.”
Balance Sheet and Liquidity
As of June 30, 2015, LDR had $62.6 million in cash and cash equivalents, $74.4 million in working capital (including cash and cash equivalents) and $24.2 million in debt.
2015 Guidance
Based on LDR’s results for the quarter ended June 30, 2015, the Company is raising its expected revenue growth for the full year 2015 to be in the range of 19.0% to 20.0%, before any foreign exchange impact. This implies revenues, before any foreign exchange impact, in the range of approximately $168.1 million to $169.5 million for the full year 2015. Based on current foreign exchange rates, changes in foreign exchange rates are expected to negatively impact 2015 revenue by 4.0% to 5.0%.

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 are designed to 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, LDR 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. For more information regarding LDR Holding, visit www.ldr.com.
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 certain non-GAAP financial measures, such as Adjusted EBITDA and revenue on a constant currency basis, in this press release and accompanying tables.
Management defines EBITDA as net income (loss) plus interest (income) expense, net, income tax expense and depreciation and amortization. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA plus stock-based compensation expense and other interest (expense), net. 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.
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

3



results and liquidity requirements. Management’s definition and calculation of Adjusted EBITDA may differ from that of other companies.
Management calculates revenue on a constant currency basis by using the average foreign exchange rates for each month during the previous year and applying these rates to foreign-denominated revenue in the corresponding months in the current quarter. The difference between revenue calculated based on these foreign exchange rates and revenue calculated in accordance with GAAP is referred to as the foreign exchange impact on revenue. Management uses revenue on a constant currency basis to improve comparability between periods as though fluctuations from changes in foreign currency did not exist.
Revenue on a constant currency basis should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for revenue prepared in accordance with GAAP as it is not indicative of revenue as determined under GAAP. Management’s calculation of revenue on a constant currency basis may differ from that of other companies.
A reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures 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.
