NXSTAGE REPORTS FIRST QUARTER FINANCIAL RESULTS
Revenue Increases to $96.8 million, up 9% from Q1'FY16
Company Reaffirms Total Revenue Guidance and Profitability for 2017
Company Continues to Advance NxGen Hemodialysis System and Innovative Pipeline

LAWRENCE, Mass., May 9, 2017, --NxStage Medical, Inc. (Nasdaq: NXTM), a leading medical technology company focused on advancing renal care, today reported financial results for the first quarter of 2017, reviewed recent progress on its product pipeline, and updated its outlook for 2017.
Total revenue for the first quarter of 2017 increased 9 percent to $96.8 million, at the high end of its guidance range of $95 to $97 million, compared with revenue of $89.2 million for the first quarter of 2016.
The Company's revenue performance was driven by the Products Business, and more specifically, the System One segment, which consists of the Home and Critical Care markets. Home revenue increased 10 percent to $54.6 million for the first quarter of 2017 compared with revenue of $49.5 million for the first quarter of 2016. Critical Care revenue increased 2 percent to $20.1 million for the first quarter of 2017 compared with revenue of $19.8 million for the first quarter of 2016.
Net loss attributable to NxStage Medical, Inc.'s stockholders improved to $1.2 million for the first quarter of 2017 compared with a net loss of $1.3 million for the first quarter of 2016. The net loss for the first quarter of 2017 included $3.9 million of income from operations from the Products Business.

The Company also announced that early customer and patient feedback in the UK on its recently launched next generation hemodialysis system has been very positive, validating many of the benefits it expected. This innovative system consists of new features and capabilities, including a new touchscreen user interface and integrated blood pressure monitor designed to enhance ease of use for patients performing home hemodialysis.

“We believe we are well positioned with tremendous growth opportunities. We continue to execute at a high level and advance our product pipeline at an impressive pace," stated Jeffrey H. Burbank, Founder and CEO of NxStage. "I believe that we have one of the most exciting product pipelines in the industry. Our primary objective is to deliver innovative solutions that have the potential to give ESRD patients the ability to live longer and fuller lives while on dialysis. We don’t underestimate the hard work it will take to bring these innovations to market, but we remain confident in our capabilities. We believe our products and track record speak for themselves."

Burbank continued, "We expect our peritoneal dialysis (PD) system to be transformative in the existing $3 billion worldwide PD market because of its unique design which eliminates bagged fluid and provides greater clinical flexibility for patients and their care teams. We believe, but can’t know with certainty, that we will likely be first to market. It won’t be by the end of this year as we originally targeted over 18 months ago, but we're targeting to be there before anyone else. More importantly, we're targeting to be the best technology on the market."


Guidance:
"Given the strength of the overall business, we continue to expect total company revenue in a range of $400 to $405 million and total company profitability for 2017. However, with a slower start in the Home market than we anticipated, we are revising our annual Home revenue growth target to be between 10 to





13% for 2017 versus our previous 15% target," stated Matthew Towse, Chief Financial Officer of NxStage. "Although the year isn’t building in line with our original expectations, we continue to believe we are in a great position to drive long term growth, advance our product pipeline, and make further improvements within our key financial metrics."

For the second quarter of 2017, the Company expects revenue to be in a range of $95 to $97 million, and a net loss in the range of $1 to $3 million.

About the NxStage System One
The NxStage System One is the first and only truly portable hemodialysis system cleared specifically by the FDA for home hemodialysis and home nocturnal hemodialysis. Its simplicity and revolutionary size (just over a foot tall) are intended to allow convenient use in patients' homes and give patients the freedom to travel with their therapy. When combined with the NxStage PureFlow™ SL Dialysis Preparation System, patients are able to further simplify, using ordinary tap water to create dialysis fluid on-site on-demand. Unlike conventional hemodialysis systems, the System One requires no special infrastructure to operate. Under the guidance of their physician, patients can use the NxStage System One, with their trained partners, where, how and when it best meets their needs, including while they are sleeping - at home or on vacation and at a medically appropriate treatment frequency. In addition, NxStage's Nx2me Connected Health® platform collects important NxStage System One and patient information for flexible viewing, monitoring and reporting that may improve patient management and patient retention, as well as simplify alternative site care. The System One is also used to provide a range of flexible therapy options in more traditional care settings such as hospitals and dialysis centers. Its safety and performance have been demonstrated by experience with more than 14 million treatments with over 30 thousand patients around the world.  http://www.nxstage.com/.
