Spectranetics Reports Second Quarter 2017 Revenue of $74.7 million


COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo., Aug. 03, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Spectranetics Corporation (NASDAQ:SPNC) (“the Company”) today reported financial results for the three months ended June 30, 2017. Highlights of the quarter, all compared with the three months ended June 30, 2016, include:

  • Revenue of $74.7 million increased 10% (11% constant currency1)
  • Vascular Intervention revenue of $51.0 million increased 10% (11% constant currency1)
  • Lead Management revenue of $19.7 million increased 11% (12% constant currency1)

Net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2017 was $24.6 million, or $0.56 per share, compared with net loss of $14.9 million, or $0.35 per share, for the three months ended June 30, 2016.

“In the second quarter we again delivered double-digit revenue growth, reflecting continued, solid performance across our business and innovation pipeline,” said Scott Drake, President and CEO. “The impact we are making to improve patients’ lives has never been greater, especially with the recent FDA approval of Stellarex. Additionally, as we announced in June, we have entered into a definitive agreement to be acquired by Royal Philips, and we expect the transaction to close in the third quarter.”

Due to the pending transaction with Royal Philips, Spectranetics will not host an earnings call to discuss the results.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement our condensed consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP, we use a certain non-GAAP financial measure in this release regarding revenue on a constant currency basis. Reconciliations of this non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable GAAP measure for the respective periods can be found in the tables below. An explanation of the manner in which our management uses this non-GAAP measure to conduct and evaluate our business and the reasons management believes this non-GAAP measure provides useful information to investors are provided following the reconciliation tables.

The impact of foreign exchange rates is highly variable and difficult to predict. We use a constant currency basis to show the impact from foreign exchange rates on current period revenue compared to prior period revenue using the prior period’s foreign exchange rates. In order to properly understand the underlying business trends and performance of our ongoing operations, we believe that investors may find it useful to consider the impact of excluding changes in foreign exchange rates from our revenue.

We believe presenting the non-GAAP financial measure used in this release provides investors greater transparency to the information used by our management for financial and operational decision-making and allows investors to see our results “through the eyes” of management. We also believe providing this information better enables our investors to understand our operating performance and evaluate the methodology used by management to evaluate and measure such performance.

Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for our financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Some limitations associated with using these non-GAAP financial measures are provided below:

  • Revenue growth rates stated on a constant currency basis, by their nature, exclude the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, which may have a material impact on GAAP revenue.

  • 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 we do, limiting the usefulness of those measures for comparative purposes.
