MASON, Ohio, February 28, 2017 – AtriCure, Inc.  (Nasdaq: ATRC), a leading innovator in treatments for atrial fibrillation (Afib) and left atrial appendage (LAA) management, today announced fourth quarter and full year 2016 financial results.



As we reflect back on 2016, we are pleased to have grown revenue 20% for the year while exceeding our bottom line expectations and making meaningful progress in continuing our transformation into the minimally invasive Afib market, a large underpenetrated and underserved market. Throughout the year, we hit several strategic milestones and begin 2017 poised to broaden our minimally invasive presence through enrollment in the CONVERGE clinical trial and the expansion of our AtriClip franchise,” said Mike Carrel, President and Chief Executive Officer of AtriCure. “We are also encouraged by the recently updated STS guidelines which include a Class 1 recommendation for surgical ablation of Afib. We believe the updated guidelines will further support long term adoption of the surgical treatment Afib worldwide. In the year ahead, we plan to drive toward consistent revenue growth while exercising operating expense control to achieve our goal of EBITDA profitability in 2018.”  



2016 Financial Results 

Revenue for 2016 was $155.1 million, an increase of $25.4 million or 19.5% (19.6% on a constant currency basis), compared to 2015 revenue. U.S. revenue increased 19.7% to $122.4 million, led by strong sales of ablation-related minimally invasive products and AtriClip® products. International revenue was $32.7 million, an increase of $5.2 million or 18.8% (18.9% on a constant currency basis). International revenue growth was driven primarily by increases in product sales in Asia, Germany, Italy and France.



Gross profit for 2016 was $111.1 million compared to $92.9 million for 2015. Gross margin for both 2016 and 2015 was 71.6%.

 

Loss from operations for 2016 was $31.1 million, compared to $26.7 million for 2015. Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, was a loss of $9.2 million for 2016, compared to a $11.4 million loss for 2015 (see reconciliation of GAAP results to non-GAAP results in the table accompanying this release). Net loss per share was $1.05 for 2016 and $0.97 for 2015.  



Fourth Quarter 2016 Financial Results 

Revenue for the fourth quarter of 2016 was $41.2 million, an increase of $5.3 million or 14.8% (15.0% on a constant currency basis), compared to fourth quarter 2015 revenue. U.S. revenue increased 13.1% to $32.7 million, driven by strong sales of ablation-related minimally invasive products and AtriClip® products. International revenue was $8.5 million, an increase of $1.5 million or 21.6% (22.7% on a constant currency basis). International revenue growth was driven primarily by increases in sales in Asia, Germany, the Benelux region and France.



Gross profit for the fourth quarter of 2016 was $28.9 million compared to $25.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2015. Gross margin for the fourth quarter of 2016 decreased to 70.2% compared to 71.2% in the fourth quarter of 2015.

 

Operating expenses for the fourth quarter of 2016 increased 1.2%, or $0.4 million, compared to the fourth quarter of 2015. The increase in operating expenses was driven primarily by an increase in selling, clinical, marketing, and training expenses.



Loss from operations for the fourth quarter of 2016 was $7.7 million, compared to $10.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2015.  Net loss per share was $0.27 for the fourth quarter of 2016 and $0.36 for the fourth quarter of 2015. Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, was a loss of $1.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2016, compared to a $6.1 million loss for the fourth quarter of 2015.  



2017 Financial Guidance

Management projects 2017 revenue growth of approximately 13% to 15% over full year 2016 at current exchange rates.


 



Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, is projected to be a loss in the range of $4 to $6 million for 2017. Net loss per share is expected to be in the range of $0.94 to $1.04. The Company continues to expect positive adjusted EBITDA for full year 2018.

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. Non-GAAP financial measures provide 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 results of operations before these excluded items as a basis for its strategic planning. The non-GAAP financial measures used by AtriCure may not be the same or calculated the same as those used by other companies. Reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures used in this release to the most comparable GAAP measures for the respective periods can be found in tables later in this release. 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.
