July 30, 2019 at 4:02 PM EDT
  • Worldwide revenue of $58.9 million – an increase of 13.7% year over year
  • U.S. revenue of $47.2 million – an increase of 15.5% year over year
  • International revenue of $11.7 million – an increase of 7.0% year over year

MASON, Ohio--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jul. 30, 2019-- AtriCure, Inc. (Nasdaq: ATRC), a leading innovator in treatments for atrial fibrillation (Afib) and left atrial appendage (LAA) management, today announced second quarter 2019 financial results.

“Our second quarter results demonstrate strength across the business,” said Mike Carrel, President and Chief Executive Officer of AtriCure. “We remain confident that our investments in innovation, clinical science and physician education will enable us to continue to execute on our strategy of expanding our reach to positively impact patient outcomes worldwide.”

Second Quarter 2019 Financial Results

Revenue for the second quarter of 2019 was $58.9 million, an increase of $7.1 million or 13.7% (14.5% on a constant currency basis), compared to second quarter 2018 revenue. U.S. revenue was $47.2 million, an increase of $6.3 million or 15.5%, compared to second quarter 2018 revenue. U.S. revenue growth was driven by increased sales of open ablation and appendage management products. International revenue increased 7.0% (an increase of 10.8% on a constant currency basis) to $11.7 million, as a result of increased sales of open ablation and appendage management products. A discussion of non-GAAP financial measures and reconciliations regarding non-GAAP financial measures to their respective GAAP financial measures are provided later in this release.

Gross profit for the second quarter of 2019 was $43.9 million compared to $38.1 million for the second quarter of 2018. Gross margin for the second quarter of 2019 increased to 74.5% compared to 73.5% in the second quarter of 2018, driven primarily by improvements to operations and lower costs, partially offset by unfavorable product mix in international markets.

Loss from operations for the second quarter of 2019 was $3.8 million, compared to income of $1.0 million for the second quarter of 2018. Net loss per share was $0.11 for the second quarter of 2019 compared to a net loss per share of $0.01 for the second quarter of 2018.

Adjusted EBITDA was positive $0.7 million for the second quarter of 2019 compared to $0.8 million for the second quarter of 2018. Adjusted loss per share for the second quarter of 2019 was $0.17 compared to $0.19 for the second quarter of 2018. Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted loss per share are non-GAAP measures.

2019 Financial Guidance

Management is updating revenue guidance for 2019 to a range of $224 million to $228 million, corresponding to growth of 11% to 13% for the year. Adjusted EBITDA is now expected to be between $0 and $2 million.

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release contains “forward-looking statements”– that is, statements related to future events that by their nature address matters that are uncertain. For details on the uncertainties that may cause our actual results to be materially different than those expressed in our forward-looking statements, visit http://www.atricure.com/fls as well as our Annual Reports on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q which contain risk factors. We do not undertake to update our forward-looking statements. This document also includes forward-looking projected financial information that is based on current estimates and forecasts. Actual results could differ materially.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement AtriCure’s condensed consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP, AtriCure uses certain non-GAAP financial measures in this release as supplemental financial metrics.

Revenue reported on a constant currency basis is a non-GAAP measure and is calculated by applying previous period foreign currency exchange rates, which are determined by the average daily Euro to Dollar exchange rate, to each of the comparable periods. Management analyzes revenue on a constant currency basis to better measure the comparability of results between periods. Because changes in foreign currency exchange rates have a non-operating impact on revenue, the Company believes that evaluating growth in revenue on a constant currency basis provides an additional and meaningful assessment of revenue to both management and the company’s investors.

Adjusted EBITDA provides an indication of performance excluding certain items. Management believes that in order to properly understand short-term and long-term financial trends, investors may wish to consider the impact of these excluded items in addition to GAAP measures. The excluded items vary in frequency and/or impact on our continuing operations and management believes that the excluded items are typically not reflective of our ongoing core business operations. Further, management uses adjusted EBITDA for its strategic planning. A reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA reported in this release to the most comparable GAAP measure for the respective periods can be found in a table later in this release.

Adjusted loss per share is a non-GAAP measure which calculates the net loss per share before non-cash adjustments to expenses related to the adjustment in value of the contingent consideration liability. Management believes this metric provides a better measure of comparability of results between periods, as such adjustments are not frequent in nature or similar in value and can be significant. A reconciliation of adjusted loss per share reported in this release to the most comparable GAAP measure for the respective periods can be found in a table later in this release.

The non-GAAP financial measures used by AtriCure may not be the same or calculated the same as those used by other companies. Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for AtriCure’s financial results prepared and reported in accordance with GAAP.
