IRVINE, Calif., Oct. 30, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Endologix, Inc. (Nasdaq:ELGX), developer and marketer of innovative treatments for aortic disorders, today announced financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014.
John McDermott, Endologix Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said, "Our third quarter revenue was in-line with preliminary results released at the end of September. Importantly, we remain on track with our key initiatives for our Nellix® Endovascular Sealing System, with the completion of enrollment of the 300 patient EVAS FORWARD global registry and controlled commercial launch of Nellix in Europe. In the U.S., we remain on track to complete enrollment in the Nellix IDE clinical study by the end of this year, which will be a major milestone in the pathway toward eventual U.S. regulatory approval."
Financial Results
Global revenue in the third quarter of 2014 was $37.2 million, a 12% increase from $33.3 million in the third quarter of 2013. For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, global revenue increased 12% to $108.7 million, compared to $97.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.
U.S. revenue in the third quarter of 2014 was $27.1 million, a 2% increase compared with $26.5 million in the third quarter of 2013, reflecting increased competitive activity compared to the prior year period. International revenue was $10.1 million, a 49% increase compared to $6.8 million in the third quarter of 2013. The international sales increase was primarily attributable to strong sales growth in Europe.
Gross profit was $23.6 million in the third quarter of 2014, which represents a gross margin of 63%, compared to gross margin of 78% in the third quarter of 2013. Gross profit was $76.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, representing a gross margin of 70%. This compares with gross margin of 76% for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The decrease in gross margin for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, was primarily was due to the inventory write-off of $4.7 million in the third quarter of 2014 for product inventory that was replaced with the Company's new DURAPLY™ ePTFE Graft Material for the AFX® Endovascular AAA System.
Total operating expenses were $32.5 million in the third quarter of 2014, compared to $28.1 million in the third quarter of 2013. Total operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 were $94.4 million, compared with $82.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The increase in operating expenses was driven primarily by expansion of sales and clinical personnel in the U.S. and Europe, general and administrative expenses to support revenue growth and by research and development and clinical and regulatory expenses.
Endologix reported a net loss for the third quarter of 2014 of $13.9 million, or $(0.21) per share, compared with $9.0 million net loss, or $(0.14) per share, for the third quarter of 2013.

About Endologix
Endologix, Inc. develops and manufactures minimally invasive treatments for aortic disorders. Endologix's focus is endovascular stent grafts for the treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA).

Once AAA develops, it continues to enlarge and, if left untreated, becomes increasingly susceptible to rupture. The overall patient mortality rate for ruptured AAA is approximately 80%, making it a leading cause of death in the U.S. Additional information can be found on Endologix's website at www.endologix.com.
The Nellix® EndoVascular Aneurysm Sealing System has obtained CE Mark in the EU and is only approved as an investigational device in the United States.

Discussion of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Endologix's management believes that the non-GAAP measures of (1) "Adjusted Net Income (Loss)", (2) "Adjusted Net Income (Loss) Per Share", (3) "Adjusted EBITDA", and (4) "Adjusted EBITDA Per Share" enhance an investor's overall understanding of Endologix's financial and operating performance and its future prospects by (i) being more reflective of core operating performance and (ii) being more comparable with financial results over various periods. Endologix's management uses these financial measures for strategic decision making, forecasting future financial results, and evaluating current period financial and operating performance. The presentation of non-GAAP financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP.
Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted Net Income (Loss) Per Share Definitions:
"GAAP" is generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.
(1) "Adjusted Net Income (Loss)" is a non-GAAP measure defined by Endologix as net income (loss) under GAAP, excluding: (i) the fair value adjustment to the Nellix acquisition contingent consideration due primarily to the increase or decrease in the Endologix common stock price as the contingent consideration is payable in Endologix common stock; (ii) interest expense from the Company's convertible debt; (iii) foreign currency re-measurement (gains) or losses (iv) legal settlement costs; (v) contract termination and business acquisition expenses; and (vi) business development expenses, including licensing costs related to research and development activities.

(2) "Adjusted Net Income (Loss) per Share" is a non-GAAP measure defined by Endologix as Adjusted Net Income (Loss) divided by the average shares outstanding (basic and diluted, as applicable under GAAP) for the corresponding period.
