Surmodics Reports First Quarter of Fiscal Year 2023 Financial Results; Updates Fiscal Year 2023 Financial Guidance

EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#InVitroDiagnostic–Surmodics, Inc. (Nasdaq: SRDX), a leading provider of medical device and in vitro diagnostic technologies to the healthcare industry, today reported financial results for its first quarter ended December 31, 2022, and updated its financial outlook for its fiscal year ending September 30, 2023.

First Quarter Fiscal 2023 Financial Summary

First Quarter and Recent Business Highlights

“We were pleased to achieve total revenue growth that exceeded our expectations for the first quarter, driven by strong revenue performance within our Medical Device business which grew 12% year-over-year,” said Gary Maharaj, President and CEO of Surmodics, Inc. “On January 19th, we announced the receipt of an FDA letter related to our PMA application for the SurVeil DCB. We remain focused on making progress with respect to our regulatory strategy for the SurVeil DCB and are preparing to engage with the FDA to evaluate the appropriate path forward. In light of this development, we have implemented a spending reduction plan to preserve capital and more closely align our capital allocation priorities with our strategic objectives, which includes a restructuring to reduce our workforce by approximately 13% and additional cost saving measures. This spending reduction plan is expected to reduce our planned use of cash by an estimated $10 million to $11 million over the remainder of fiscal 2023, prior to restructuring charges.”

Mr. Maharaj continued, “We are updating our guidance today to reflect our financial performance in the first quarter, as well as our revised expectations for the remaining nine months of fiscal 2023. Looking ahead, we remain focused on pursuing our three key strategic objectives for 2023 as efficiently as possible, with the goal of achieving strong, sustainable, long-term growth. Specifically, we will continue to make progress with respect to our regulatory strategy for the SurVeil DCB, while advancing the initial commercialization of our Sublime™ radial and Pounce™ arterial thrombectomy platforms and driving revenue and cash flow growth from our Medical Device performance coating offerings and In Vitro Diagnostics business. With a recently enhanced balance sheet and access to approximately $60 million in incremental debt financing, a disciplined approach to spending and capital allocation, strong and stable core businesses and a portfolio of innovative vascular intervention technologies, we believe we are well-positioned for the future as we progress through fiscal 2023.”

Total revenue increased $1.9 million, or 8%, to $24.9 million, compared to $23.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2022.

Medical Device revenue increased $2.1 million, or 12%, to $19.0 million, compared to $16.9 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2022, driven by growth in sales of performance coating reagent and device products, as well as higher performance coating royalties revenue. Medical Device revenue in the first quarter of fiscal 2023 included $1.3 million from the Company’s Development and Distribution Agreement with Abbott Vascular, Inc. (“Abbott”) for the SurVeil DCB, compared to $1.2 million in the prior-year period. In Vitro Diagnostics (“IVD”) revenue decreased $0.2 million, or 3%, to $5.9 million, compared to $6.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2022, as growth in product sales was offset by lower research and development and other revenue due to the completion of a customer development program.

Product gross profit (defined as product sales less product costs) increased $1.1 million, or 14%, to $9.0 million, compared to $7.8 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2022. Product gross margin (defined as product gross profit as a percentage of product sales) was 63.0%, compared to 63.6% in the first quarter of fiscal 2022. Product gross margin in the first quarter of fiscal 2023 was adversely impacted relative to the prior year by certain manufacturing inefficiencies associated with ramp up of production of new products, which was partly offset by the favorable impact of product mix.

Operating costs and expenses, excluding product costs, increased $5.0 million, or 23%, to $26.9 million, compared to $21.9 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2022. The increase was driven primarily by higher selling, general and administrative expenses associated with the expansion of the Company’s direct medical device salesforce in fiscal 2022.

GAAP net loss was $(7.8) million, or $(0.56) per diluted share, compared to $(2.8) million, or $(0.20) per diluted share in the first quarter of fiscal 2022. Non-GAAP net loss was $(7.0) million, or $(0.50) per diluted share, compared to $(1.8) million, or $(0.13) per diluted share in the first quarter of fiscal 2022.

Adjusted EBITDA loss was $(3.3) million, compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $0.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2022.

Balance Sheet Summary

On October 17, 2022, Surmodics entered into a new, five-year credit agreement with MidCap, comprised of up to $100.0 million in term loans and a $25.0 million revolving credit facility. The Company drew $25.0 million on the term loan and $5.0 million on the revolving credit facility at close. These proceeds were partially used to retire the Company’s existing $25.0 million revolving credit facility with Bridgewater Bank, of which $10.0 million was outstanding.

As of December 31, 2022, Surmodics reported $26.4 million in cash, $5.0 million in outstanding borrowings on its $25.0 million revolving credit facility, and $25.0 million in outstanding borrowings on its term loan facility. Additional draws on the term loan facility may be made in $10.0 million minimum increments, up to a total of $75.0 million through December 31, 2024. A second tranche of up to $25.0 million on the term loan facility may be available through December 31, 2024 at MidCap’s option. Surmodics reported $10.8 million of cash used in operating activities and $1.0 million in capital expenditures in the first quarter of fiscal 2023.

Fiscal Year 2023 Financial Guidance

Surmodics now expects fiscal year 2023 total revenue to range from $102 million to $106 million, representing an increase of 2% to 6% compared to the prior year. The Company’s prior guidance called for fiscal year 2023 total revenue to range from $103 million to $107 million, representing an increase of 3% to 7% compared to the prior year.

The Company now expects fiscal 2023 GAAP diluted loss per share to range from $(2.40) to $(2.00). The Company’s prior guidance called for fiscal 2023 GAAP diluted loss per share to range from $(2.80) to $(2.40).

Non-GAAP diluted loss per share in fiscal 2023 is expected to range from $(2.09) to $(1.69). The Company’s prior guidance called for fiscal 2023 Non-GAAP diluted loss per share in fiscal 2023 to range from $(2.54) to $(2.14).

As has been the Company’s practice with past guidance, revenue from regulatory-related milestones, such as upon receipt of PMA for the SurVeil DCB, is not included in guidance until after they are achieved.

Forward-looking statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties, and important factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated, including, without limitation: (1) our ability to successfully develop and commercialize our SurVeil DCB (including realization of the full potential benefits of our agreement with Abbott), Avess™ DCB, Sundance DCB, and other proprietary products; (2) whether and when the FDA grants PMA to the SurVeil DCB; (3) our reliance on third parties (including our customers and licensees) and their failure to successfully develop, obtain regulatory approval for, market, and sell products incorporating our technologies; (4) possible adverse market conditions and possible adverse impacts on our cash flows; (5) our ability to successfully and profitably commercialize our vascular intervention products; (6) current and future supply chain constraints; (7) whether our operating expenses are effective in generating profitable revenues; and (8) the factors identified under “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2022 and subsequent SEC filings. These reports are available in the Investors section of our website at https://surmodics.gcs-web.com and at the SEC website at www.sec.gov. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and we undertake no obligation to update them in light of new information or future events.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

In addition to reporting financial results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, Surmodics is reporting non-GAAP financial results including EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP operating loss, non-GAAP operating loss percentage, non-GAAP loss before income taxes, non-GAAP net loss, and non-GAAP loss per diluted share. We believe that these non-GAAP measures, when read in conjunction with the Company’s GAAP financial statements, provide meaningful insight into our operating performance excluding certain event-specific matters, and provide an alternative perspective of our results of operations. We use non-GAAP measures, including those set forth in this release, to assess our operating performance and to determine payouts under our executive compensation programs. We also are providing guidance on a range of non-GAAP loss per diluted share for fiscal 2023. We believe that presentation of certain non-GAAP measures allows investors to review our results of operations from the same perspective as management and our board of directors and facilitates comparisons of our current results of operations. The method we use to produce non-GAAP results is not in accordance with GAAP and may differ from the methods used by other companies. Non-GAAP results should not be regarded as a substitute for corresponding GAAP measures but instead should be utilized as a supplemental measure of operating performance in evaluating our business. Non-GAAP measures do have limitations in that they do not reflect certain items that may have a material impact on our reported financial results. As such, these non-GAAP measures should be viewed in conjunction with both our financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP and the reconciliation of the supplemental non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP results provided for the specific periods presented, which are attached to this release.
