INVUITY REPORTS 2016 FOURTH QUARTER, ANNUAL FINANCIAL RESULTS

Achieves revenue growth of 50% and gross margin expansion over prior year’s fourth quarter

 

 

SAN FRANCISCO, February 14, 2017 - Invuity, Inc. (NASDAQ:IVTY), a leading medical technology company focused on minimal access surgery, today reported financial results for the three months and year ended December 31, 2016.

 

Q4 2016 Highlights

 

·

Revenue grew 50% to $9.4 million compared to revenue of $6.2 million in the 2015 fourth quarter.

·

Gross margin expansion continued to 74.3% compared to 65.9% in the 2015 fourth quarter.

·

Approximately 745 hospitals purchased Invuity devices in the fourth quarter of 2016, up from 530 hospitals in the fourth quarter of 2015.

·

Approximately 240,000 procedures have been performed using Invuity devices.

 

‘We finished 2016 on a strong note, delivering 50% year-over-year growth in the fourth quarter,” said President and CEO Philip Sawyer. “In 2017, we will continue to drive toward our goal of leadership in minimal access surgery through consistent execution of our commercial strategies coupled with the introduction of innovative, disruptive products.”

 

Financial Results

 

Revenue was $9.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2016, up 50% from revenue of $6.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2015 driven by an increase in active accounts and an increase in revenue per account. For the 2016 full year, revenue was $32.5 million, an increase of 54% over revenue of $21.0 million in 2015.

 

Gross margin for the fourth quarter and full-year 2016 was 74.3% and 72.8%, respectively, compared to 65.9% and 63.2% for the same periods in 2015. Gross margin expansion has been helped by the introduction of our non-conductive polymer based retractors, and by overhead efficiencies created as a result of increased sales volumes.

 

Total operating expenses for the fourth quarter and full-year 2016 were $16.0 million and $62.3 million, respectively, compared to $13.7 million and $48.5 million in the prior year periods. The increase in operating expenses is due to continued investment in our commercial platform, new product development costs and related increases in corporate infrastructure.

 

The net loss for the fourth quarter of 2016 was $9.6 million, or $0.56 loss per share, compared to a net loss of $10.1 million, or $0.76 loss per share, for the fourth quarter of 2015. The net loss for full-year 2016 was $40.6 million, or $2.73 loss per share, compared to $37.6 million, or $4.94 loss per share, for 2015.


 

 

The Company's balance sheet as of December 31, 2016, included total cash, cash equivalents and short term investments of $39.0 million.

 

Business Outlook

 

Invuity is reiterating its revenue guidance for 2017 in the range of $42 million to $44 million.
