CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEMS, INC. REPORTS FISCAL 2020
THIRD-QUARTER FINANCIAL RESULTS

Conference Call Scheduled for Today, May 5, 2020, at 3:30 PM CT (4:30 PM ET)


Healthcare system response to COVID-19 pandemic delayed atherectomy procedures and negatively impacted third quarter results
Revenues of $61.2 million decreased 3.4% from third quarter last year
Net loss was $2.9 million, or $0.08 per basic and diluted share
Credit facility increased to $50 million and extended to March 2022

St. Paul, Minn., May 5, 2020 – Cardiovascular Systems, Inc. (CSI®) (NASDAQ: CSII), a medical device company developing and commercializing innovative interventional treatment systems for patients with peripheral and coronary artery disease, today reported financial results for its fiscal third quarter, ended March 31, 2020.

CSI’s fiscal 2020 third-quarter revenues were $61.2 million, a decrease of $2.1 million, or 3.4%, from the third quarter of fiscal 2019. Gross profit margin was 80.0%.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were flat year-over-year at $41.4 million. Research and development expenses increased 8.8% to $10.0 million as a result of planned new product development.

Third-quarter net loss was $2.9 million, or $0.08 per basic and diluted share, compared to net income of $0.7 million, or $0.02 per basic and diluted share, in the prior-year period. Adjusted EBITDA totaled $1.6 million.

As of March 31, 2020, CSI had cash and marketable securities totaling $107.3 million and no outstanding long-term debt.

Scott Ward, CSI’s Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, “We have been proactive in preparing for this crisis and we are focused on three overarching goals: to assure our continued ability to serve our customers and support our patients during the outbreak, to protect the health and financial security of our employees, and finally, to ensure business continuity.

“Our field employees who continue to support cases and work in clinical settings are provided access to personal protection equipment and abide by the local requirements stipulated by the healthcare facilities they serve. Most of our office-based employees are telecommuting. We have safeguarded our facilities and deployed additional screening and testing protocols to protect our manufacturing and other essential employees that are required to be on site. Finally, we have reduced variable spending to assure that the strength and capacity of our business remains intact.”

CSI Withdrew Fiscal 2020 Guidance
On March 20th, CSI issued a Form 8-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission noting that the company was experiencing a disruption in procedures using its products as a result of the COVID-19 outbreak. The company issued a follow up Form 8-K on April 1st, withdrawing its financial guidance for fiscal 2020. Since that time, the magnitude of this disruption on the company’s business has intensified as hospitals across the United States have prioritized the care for COVID-19 patients.

Ward concluded, “Beginning the second week of March and extending through the end of the month, hospitals in the U.S. increasingly focused on the treatment of COVID-19 patients and several states implemented stay-at-home orders. During this period, we witnessed a 25% decrease in procedure volumes compared to the prior year for patients treated with our orbital atherectomy devices. As a result, our domestic revenue was negatively impacted by $10 million to $11 million.

“We continue to monitor several models that forecast various scenarios regarding the severity and duration of the outbreak. In April 2020, our consolidated revenue decreased 53% compared to the year ago period. We believe there are many factors that may increase or decrease our case load during the remainder of our fiscal fourth quarter, including the easing of social restrictions and government restrictions on elective and semi-elective cases, patient anxiety, availability of personal protection equipment, cath lab and workforce capacity, and sales rep access to hospitals to support cases. In addition, we expect that hospitals and office-based labs will continue to preserve cash and operate with lean inventories. As a consequence, we anticipate that our fourth quarter results will not benefit from large, end-of-fiscal quarter orders, which typically drive higher revenues – particularly in June.

“With these variables in mind, we have taken actions to reduce our variable spending. Fourth quarter operating expenses are expected to be in a range of $44 million to $46 million, a decrease of more than 15% from the comparable period one year ago. However, our capital allocation priorities are unchanged. We will continue to invest in our business to assure that we are able to support our customers and patients. We are investing to retain our employees and the strength of our business to assure a rapid and sustained recovery.”

CSI Amended Terms of Revolving Credit Facility
In March, CSI announced that it had amended a loan and security agreement between the Company and Silicon Valley Bank. The amendment extends the maturity date of the loan agreement by two years, to March 31, 2022, and increases the maximum amount available under the revolving credit facility from $40 million to $50 million.

During the first three years of this agreement, CSI did not access this credit facility. There are no amounts outstanding under this loan agreement, as amended, as of May 5, 2020.

Conference Call Scheduled for Today at 3:30 p.m. CT (4:30 p.m. ET)
CSI will host a live conference call and webcast of its fiscal third-quarter results today, May 5, 2020, at 3:30 p.m. CT (4:30 p.m. ET).

About Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD)
As many as 18 million Americans, most over age 65, suffer from PAD, which is caused by the accumulation of plaque in peripheral arteries reducing blood flow. Symptoms include leg pain when walking or at rest. Left untreated, PAD can lead to severe pain, immobility, non-healing wounds and eventually limb amputation. With risk factors such as diabetes and obesity on the rise, the prevalence of PAD is growing at double-digit rates.

Millions of patients with PAD may benefit from treatment with orbital atherectomy utilizing the Stealth 360® and Diamondback 360® Peripheral Orbital Atherectomy Systems, minimally invasive catheter systems developed and manufactured by CSI. These systems use a diamond-coated crown, attached to an orbiting shaft, which sands away plaque while preserving healthy vessel tissue — a critical factor in preventing reoccurrences. Balloon angioplasty and stents have significant shortcomings in treating hard, calcified lesions. Stents are prone to fractures and high recurrence rates, and treatment of hard, calcified lesions often leads to vessel damage and suboptimal results.

About Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) CAD is a life-threatening condition and a leading cause of death in men and women in the United States. CAD occurs when a fatty material called plaque builds up on the walls of arteries that supply blood to the heart. The plaque buildup causes the arteries to harden and narrow (atherosclerosis), reducing blood flow. The risk of CAD increases if a person has one or more of the following: high blood pressure, abnormal cholesterol levels, diabetes, or family history of early heart disease. According to the American Heart Association, 16.3 million people in the United States have been diagnosed with CAD, the most common form of heart disease. Heart disease claims more than 600,000 lives in the United States each year. According to estimates, significant arterial calcium is present in nearly 40% of patients undergoing a percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Significant calcium contributes to poor outcomes and higher treatment costs in coronary interventions when traditional therapies are used, including a significantly higher occurrence of death and major adverse cardiac events (MACE).

About Cardiovascular Systems, Inc.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement CSI's consolidated condensed financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP, CSI uses a non-GAAP financial measure referred to as "Adjusted EBITDA" in this release.

Reconciliations of this non-GAAP measure to the most comparable U.S. GAAP measure for the respective periods can be found in the following tables. In addition, an explanation of the manner in which CSI's management uses this measure to conduct and evaluate its business, the economic substance behind management's decision to use this measure, the substantive reasons why management believes that this measure provides useful information to investors, the material limitations associated with the use of this measure and the manner in which management compensates for those limitations is included following the reconciliation table.

Adjusted EBITDA$1,626  $4,113  $1,579  $9,140  


Use and Economic Substance of Non-GAAP Financial Measures Used by CSI and Usefulness of Such Non-GAAP Financial Measures to Investors
CSI uses Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure of performance and believes this measure facilitates operating performance comparisons from period to period and company to company by factoring out potential differences caused by depreciation and amortization expense and non-cash charges such as stock based compensation. CSI's management uses Adjusted EBITDA to analyze the underlying trends in CSI's business, assess the performance of CSI's core operations, establish operational goals and forecasts that are used to allocate resources and evaluate CSI's performance period over period and in relation to its competitors' operating results. Additionally, CSI's management is evaluated on the basis of Adjusted EBITDA when determining achievement of their incentive compensation performance targets.

CSI believes that presenting Adjusted EBITDA provides investors greater transparency to the information used by CSI's management for its financial and operational decision-making and allows investors to see CSI's results "through the eyes" of management. CSI also believes that providing this information better enables CSI's investors to understand CSI's operating performance and evaluate the methodology used by CSI's management to evaluate and measure such performance.



Cardiovascular Systems, Inc.

Page 9
The following is an explanation of each of the items that management excluded from Adjusted EBITDA and the reasons for excluding each of these individual items:
-- Stock-based compensation. CSI excludes stock-based compensation expense from its non-GAAP financial measures primarily because such expense, while constituting an ongoing and recurring
expense, is not an expense that requires cash settlement. CSI's management also believes that excluding this item from CSI's non-GAAP results is useful to investors to understand the application of stock-based compensation guidance and its impact on CSI's operational performance, liquidity and its ability to make additional investments in the company, and it allows for greater transparency to certain line items in CSI's financial statements.

-- Depreciation and amortization expense. CSI excludes depreciation and amortization expense from its non-GAAP financial measures primarily because such expenses, while constituting ongoing and recurring expenses, are not expenses that require cash settlement and are not used by CSI's management to assess the core profitability of CSI's business operations. CSI's management also believes that excluding these items from CSI's non-GAAP results is useful to investors to understand CSI's operational performance, liquidity and its ability to make additional investments in the company.

Material Limitations Associated with the Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Manner in which CSI Compensates for these Limitations

Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for CSI's financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Some of the limitations associated with CSI's use of these non-GAAP financial measures are:

-- Items such as stock-based compensation do not directly affect CSI's cash flow position; however, such items reflect economic costs to CSI and are not reflected in CSI's "Adjusted EBITDA" and therefore these non-GAAP measures do not reflect the full economic effect of these items.

-- Non-GAAP financial measures are not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles and therefore other companies may calculate similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures differently than CSI, limiting the usefulness of those measures for comparative purposes.

-- CSI's management exercises judgment in determining which types of charges or other items should be excluded from the non-GAAP financial measures CSI uses. CSI compensates for these limitations by relying primarily upon its GAAP results and using non-GAAP financial measures only supplementally. CSI provides full disclosure of each non-GAAP financial measure.

-- CSI uses and detailed reconciliations of each non-GAAP measure to its most directly comparable GAAP measure. CSI encourages investors to review these reconciliations. CSI qualifies its use of non-GAAP financial measures with cautionary statements as set forth above.
