-
Revenues of $63.3 million increased 13.9% from third quarter last
year - Net income was $0.7 million, or $0.02 per diluted share
-
Company increases fiscal 2019 revenue guidance to upper half of
previous range
ST. PAUL, Minn.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Cardiovascular Systems, Inc. (CSI®) (NASDAQ: CSII), a
medical device company developing and commercializing innovative
interventional treatment systems for patients with peripheral and
coronary artery disease, today reported financial results for its fiscal
third quarter, ended March 31, 2019.
CSI’s third-quarter revenues were $63.3 million, an increase of $7.7
million, or 13.9%, from the third quarter of fiscal 2018. Gross profit
margin remained healthy at 80.8%.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 9.4% to $41.4
million due to increased investments to support international expansion.
Research and development expenses increased 26.6% to $9.3 million as a
result of planned new product development and patient enrollment costs
in the ECLIPSE clinical trial.
Third-quarter net income was $0.7 million, or $0.02 per basic and
diluted share, compared favorably to net income of $0.4 million, or
$0.01 per basic and diluted share, in the prior-year period. Adjusted
EBITDA totaled $4.1 million.
Scott Ward, CSI’s Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, said,
“Our strategy to provide exceptional case support, deliver continuous
innovation and produce compelling medical evidence resonates with our
customers. Fiscal year-to-date, these efforts are translating into
market-leading growth in both peripheral and coronary atherectomy.”
CSI Updates Fiscal 2019 Guidance
Ward concluded, “Consistent
with our plan, we have successfully accelerated revenue growth this
year. During the first nine months of fiscal 2019, revenues increased
13.9% versus 3.9% during the comparable period one year ago. We are
driving growth primarily through increased adoption of orbital
atherectomy domestically and introducing our technology to new
international markets. We remain on track to achieve revenue of $245
million to $247 million, representing the upper half of our fiscal 2019
revenue guidance range.”
For fiscal 2019 ending June 30, 2019, CSI anticipates:
-
Revenue of $245 million to $247 million, representing 13% to 14%
growth compared to fiscal 2018; - Gross profit as a percentage of revenues of 80%-81%;
- Net loss equal to 0.5% of revenue to breakeven; and
- Positive Adjusted EBITDA.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement CSI’s
consolidated condensed financial statements prepared in accordance with
U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), CSI uses certain
non-GAAP financial measures in this release. Reconciliations of the
non-GAAP financial measures used in this release to the most comparable
U.S. GAAP measures for the respective periods can be found in tables
later in this release immediately following the consolidated statements
of operations. Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as
analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as a
substitute for CSI’s financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP.
About Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD)
As many as 18 million
Americans, most over age 65, suffer from PAD, which is caused by the
accumulation of plaque in peripheral arteries reducing blood flow.
Symptoms include leg pain when walking or at rest. Left untreated, PAD
can lead to severe pain, immobility, non-healing wounds and eventually
limb amputation. With risk factors such as diabetes and obesity on the
rise, the prevalence of PAD is growing at double-digit rates.
Millions of patients with PAD may benefit from treatment with orbital
atherectomy utilizing the Stealth 360® and Diamondback 360®
Peripheral Orbital Atherectomy Systems, minimally invasive catheter
systems developed and manufactured by CSI. These systems use a
diamond-coated crown, attached to an orbiting shaft, which sands away
plaque while preserving healthy vessel tissue — a critical factor in
preventing reoccurrences. Balloon angioplasty and stents have
significant shortcomings in treating hard, calcified lesions. Stents are
prone to fractures and high recurrence rates, and treatment of hard,
calcified lesions often leads to vessel damage and suboptimal results.
About Coronary Artery Disease (CAD)
CAD is a
life-threatening condition and a leading cause of death in men and women
in the United States. CAD occurs when a fatty material called plaque
builds up on the walls of arteries that supply blood to the heart. The
plaque buildup causes the arteries to harden and narrow
(atherosclerosis), reducing blood flow. The risk of CAD increases if a
person has one or more of the following: high blood pressure, abnormal
cholesterol levels, diabetes, or family history of early heart disease.
According to the American Heart Association, 16.3 million people in the
United States have been diagnosed with CAD, the most common form of
heart disease. Heart disease claims more than 600,000 lives in the
United States each year. According to estimates, significant arterial
calcium is present in nearly 40% of patients undergoing a percutaneous
coronary intervention (PCI). Significant calcium contributes to poor
outcomes and higher treatment costs in coronary interventions when
traditional therapies are used, including a significantly higher
occurrence of death and major adverse cardiac events (MACE).

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement CSI’s consolidated
condensed financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP, CSI
uses a non-GAAP financial measure referred to as “Adjusted EBITDA” in
this release.
Reconciliations of this non-GAAP measure to the most comparable U.S.
GAAP measure for the respective periods can be found in the following
tables. In addition, an explanation of the manner in which CSI’s
management uses this measure to conduct and evaluate its business, the
economic substance behind management’s decision to use this measure, the
substantive reasons why management believes that this measure provides
useful information to investors, the material limitations associated
with the use of this measure and the manner in which management
compensates for those limitations is included following the
reconciliation table.

Use and Economic Substance of Non-GAAP Financial Measures Used by CSI
and Usefulness of Such Non-GAAP Financial Measures to Investors
CSI
uses Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure of performance and
believes this measure facilitates operating performance comparisons from
period to period and company to company by factoring out potential
differences caused by depreciation and amortization expense and non-cash
charges such as stock based compensation. CSI’s management uses Adjusted
EBITDA to analyze the underlying trends in CSI’s business, assess the
performance of CSI’s core operations, establish operational goals and
forecasts that are used to allocate resources and evaluate CSI’s
performance period over period and in relation to its competitors’
operating results. Additionally, CSI’s management is evaluated on the
basis of Adjusted EBITDA when determining achievement of their incentive
compensation performance targets.
CSI believes that presenting Adjusted EBITDA provides investors greater
transparency to the information used by CSI’s management for its
financial and operational decision-making and allows investors to see
CSI’s results “through the eyes” of management. CSI also believes that
providing this information better enables CSI’s investors to understand
CSI’s operating performance and evaluate the methodology used by CSI’s
management to evaluate and measure such performance.
The following is an explanation of each of the items that management
excluded from Adjusted EBITDA and the reasons for excluding each of
these individual items:
— Stock-based compensation. CSI excludes stock-based compensation
expense from its non-GAAP financial measures primarily because such
expense, while constituting an ongoing and recurring expense, is not an
expense that requires cash settlement. CSI’s management also believes
that excluding this item from CSI’s non-GAAP results is useful to
investors to understand the application of stock-based compensation
guidance and its impact on CSI’s operational performance, liquidity and
its ability to make additional investments in the company, and it allows
for greater transparency to certain line items in CSI’s financial
statements.
— Depreciation and amortization expense. CSI excludes depreciation and
amortization expense from its non-GAAP financial measures primarily
because such expenses, while constituting ongoing and recurring
expenses, are not expenses that require cash settlement and are not used
by CSI’s management to assess the core profitability of CSI’s business
operations. CSI’s management also believes that excluding these items
from CSI’s non-GAAP results is useful to investors to understand CSI’s
operational performance, liquidity and its ability to make additional
investments in the company.
Material Limitations Associated with the Use of Non-GAAP Financial
Measures and Manner in which CSI Compensates for these Limitations
Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools and
should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for CSI’s
financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Some of the
limitations associated with CSI’s use of these non-GAAP financial
measures are:
— Items such as stock-based compensation do not directly affect CSI’s
cash flow position; however, such items reflect economic costs to CSI
and are not reflected in CSI’s “Adjusted EBITDA” and therefore these
non-GAAP measures do not reflect the full economic effect of these items.
— 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
CSI, limiting the usefulness of those measures for comparative purposes.
— CSI’s management exercises judgment in determining which types of
charges or other items should be excluded from the non-GAAP financial
measures CSI uses. CSI compensates for these limitations by relying
primarily upon its GAAP results and using non-GAAP financial measures
only supplementally. CSI provides full disclosure of each non-GAAP
financial measure.
— CSI uses and detailed reconciliations of each non-GAAP measure to its
most directly comparable GAAP measure. CSI encourages investors to
review these reconciliations. CSI qualifies its use of non-GAAP
financial measures with cautionary statements as set forth above.
