Nevro Reports First Quarter 2020 Financial Results

REDWOOD CITY, Calif., May 5, 2020 – Nevro Corp. (NYSE: NVRO), a global medical device company that is providing innovative, evidence-based solutions for the treatment of chronic pain, today announced its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2020.  

Worldwide revenue for the first quarter of 2020 was $87.5 million, a 6% increase compared to $82.1 million in the prior year period, which was slightly higher than the Company’s preannounced preliminary unaudited revenue range as of April 1, 2020. First quarter 2020 revenue was negatively impacted by a rapid deceleration in March 2020 due to COVID-19 shelter-in-place policies and restrictions on elective surgical procedures around the world.  Worldwide cases totaling approximately $20 million were cancelled due to COVID-19 during the first quarter of 2020, of which approximately $17 million were in the U.S. and approximately $3 million were international.

U.S. revenue was $75.3 million, a 14% increase compared to $65.8 million in the prior year period. Year-over-year U.S. trial growth was 7% and permanent implant growth was 12% during the first quarter of 2020.  

International revenue was $12.2 million, a 26% decrease as-reported, or a 23% decrease on a constant currency basis, compared to $16.3 million in the prior year period. The decrease in international revenue was primarily due to the impact of COVID-19 related government restrictions on elective procedures implemented in Europe and Australia during the latter half of the first quarter.

“Through February, Nevro’s performance was trending above our expectations with U.S. trials and permanent implants growing at 20% and 29%, respectively, over the prior year.  We experienced a significant decline in both trials and permanent implants of our products in March with the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic,” said D. Keith Grossman, Chairman, CEO and President of Nevro.  “Our highest priority now is to support the health and safety of our customers, patients and employees.  We continue to support our customers as they prepare for the return of procedural volumes, in accordance with public health and safety guidelines, to help the growing number of patients who suffer from chronic debilitating pain.”

Gross profit for the first quarter of 2020 was $60.5 million, a 14% increase compared to $53.2 million in the prior year period. Gross margin was 69.2% in the first quarter compared to 64.8% in the prior year period.

Operating expenses for the first quarter of 2020 were $83.6 million, a 12% decrease compared to $95.5 million in the prior year period. The year-over-year decrease in operating expenses was primarily related to higher costs associated with shareholder activism and the management change in the prior year period.  Legal expenses associated with patent litigation were $2.1 million for the first quarter of 2020, compared to $1.3 million in the prior year period.

Net loss from operations for the first quarter of 2020 was $23.1 million, a 45% improvement compared to a loss of $42.3 million in the prior year period.  Adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter of 2020 was negative $11.0 million, a 62% improvement compared to negative $28.7 million in the prior year period. Adjusted EBITDA excludes certain litigation expenses, interest, taxes and non-cash items such as stock-based compensation and depreciation and amortization. Please see financial tables for GAAP to Non-GAAP reconciliations.

Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments totaled $247.5 million as of March 31, 2020. Net cash increased during the first quarter of 2020 by $9.7 million. On April 1, 2020, the Company issued convertible senior notes and concurrently completed an underwritten public offering of its common stock, resulting in total cash proceeds of $313.5 million, net of underwriting fees and expenses.  

Intellectual Property Litigation Update

During the first quarter of 2020, the Company announced positive developments with respect to its intellectual property litigations.  On February 28, 2020, the Company announced the settlement of its patent infringement lawsuit against Stimwave Technologies, Inc.  As a result, Stimwave has agreed to cease commercialization of all high frequency spinal cord stimulation systems worldwide. 

On April 9, 2020, Nevro announced that it had prevailed in its appeal of the district court’s July 2018 ruling in Nevro’s offensive litigation against Boston Scientific in the Northern District of California, wherein the Federal Circuit reversed the district court's indefiniteness rulings, reinstating Nevro's asserted system patents, and also upheld the Company’s method patents for delivering SCS therapy at high frequencies.

Both of these developments represent the strength of our intellectual property portfolio and our commitment to protect our investment in and mission to support high frequency SCS therapy.

2020 Financial Guidance

Due to the rapidly evolving environment and continued uncertainties resulting from the impact of COVID-19, Nevro withdrew its previously announced annual guidance for 2020 on April 1, 2020.  Due to the uncertain scope and duration of the pandemic, and the timing of global economic recovery, the Company cannot, at this time, reliably estimate the future impact on its operations and financial results.

GAAP to Adjusted EBITDA Reconciliation

(unaudited)

(in thousands)

The following table presents a reconciliation of GAAP net loss, as prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”), to Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure.

Reconciliation of actual results:

Management uses certain non-GAAP financial measures, most specifically Adjusted EBITDA, as a supplement to GAAP financial measures to further evaluate the Company’s operating performance period over period, analyze the underlying business trends, assess performance relative to competitors and establish operational objectives.

Management believes it is important to provide investors with the same non-GAAP metrics it uses to evaluate the performance and underlying trends of the Company’s business operations to facilitate comparisons to its historical operating results and evaluate the effectiveness of its operating strategies. Disclosure of these non-GAAP financial measures also facilitates comparisons of the Company’s underlying operating performance with other companies in the industry that also supplement their GAAP results with non-GAAP financial measures.

EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure, which is calculated by adding interest income and expense, net; provision for income taxes; and depreciation and amortization to net income.  In calculating Adjusted EBITDA, the Company further adjusts for the following items:

Stock-based compensation expense – The Company excludes non-cash costs related to the Company’s stock-based plans, which include stock options, restricted stock units and performance-based restricted stock units as these expenses do not require cash settlement from the Company.

Litigation related expenses – The Company excludes legal and professional fees associated with certain legal matters which management considers not related to the underlying operating performance of the business.

Full year guidance excludes the impact of foreign currency fluctuations.

The non-GAAP financial measure should not be considered in isolation from, or as a replacement for, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, as it is not prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
