Revenue Growth of 18% Year-over-Year
LEESBURG, Va., Aug. 6, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — K2M Group Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq:KTWO) today reported financial results for the three months ended June 30, 2014. Second Quarter Highlights:
“We achieved 18% revenue growth during the second quarter of 2014, with strong performance in both our international and domestic markets,” said President and Chief Executive Officer, Eric Major. “Our growth was particularly encouraging considering our strong performance in the second quarter of 2013. We are pleased with our financial results in the first half of 2014 and continue to expect full-year 2014 revenue growth to be in the range of 14% – 16%. We remain focused on increasing our share of the $2.6 billion global complex spine and minimally invasive surgery markets and we believe the combination of product innovation, sales execution and the continued expansion of our global distribution network will drive shareholder value creation going forward.” Second Quarter Financial Results Revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2014 increased $7.4 million, or 18.4%, to $47.5 million, compared to $40.1 million in the same period of the prior year. The increase was largely attributable to $7.2 million in greater sales volume in the United States due to continued expansion of our customer base and a $2.9 million increase in sales in our international distributor markets, primarily Spain, Denmark and Japan. Geographically, revenue in the United States increased $3.5 million, or 11.6% year-over-year, to $33.2 million, and our international revenue increased $3.9 million, or 38.1% year-over-year, to $14.3 million. Second quarter 2014 international revenue increased 35.2% year-over-year on a constant-currency basis.
By procedure category, U.S. revenue in our Complex Spine, Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS) and degenerative categories represented 41.7%, 15.5% and 42.8% of U.S. revenue, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2014. The following table represents domestic revenue by procedure category. To further align its procedure categorizations, beginning in the second quarter of 2014, the Company began to report MIS sales attributable to complex spine procedures, which were historically reported in the minimally invasive category, within the complex spine category. Accordingly, the Complex Spine category presented below includes complex spine procedures performed through minimally invasive technologies and techniques of $1.4 million and $2.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and June 30, 2013, respectively.
Gross profit for the second quarter of 2014 increased 13.5% to $31.5 million, compared to $27.7 million for the same period last year. Gross margin was 66.2% this quarter, down 287 basis points year-over-year, compared to 69.1% in the second quarter of 2013. The decrease in gross margin was primarily due to changes in the mix of sales between the United States and international markets and pricing declines in the U.S. and select international markets. Additionally, amortization of instruments sets increased $0.8 million, or 71.3%, to $1.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014, reflecting increased instrument purchases to support our revenue growth. Operating expenses for the second quarter of 2014 increased $5.6 million, or 14.5%, to $44.3 million, compared to $38.7 million for the same period last year. The increase in operating expenses was driven primarily by the expansion of the sales team. This investment has driven an increase in sales commissions as a result of increased sales volumes and increased employee compensation costs due to incremental direct sales employees compared to the same period last year. Loss from operations for the second quarter of 2014 was $12.8 million, compared to $11.0 million for the second quarter of 2013. Net loss attributable to stockholders for the second quarter of 2014 was $9.6 million, or $(0.32) per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $9.5 million, or $(0.43) per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2013. Net loss attributable to stockholders includes the accretion and adjustments of preferred stock to fair value of approximately $8.1 million in the second quarter of 2014 and adjustments of $(0.6) million in the second quarter of 2013. All outstanding shares of preferred stock were converted into common stock in connection with the May IPO. Pro-forma net loss was $12.2 million, or $(0.33) per basic and diluted share in the second quarter of fiscal 2014. Adjusted EBITDA was a loss of $1.5 million for the second quarter of 2014. As of June 30, 2014, cash and cash equivalents were $36.2 million compared to $7.4 million as of December 31, 2013. In May 2014, the Company completed its initial public offering raising net proceeds of approximately $119 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses of approximately $13.5 million. With the proceeds of its IPO, the Company added approximately $36.5 million of cash to its balance sheet and repaid all outstanding amounts under its Revolving Credit Agreement totaling $23.5 million and all outstanding notes to stockholders of $39.2 million plus accrued interest of $1.3 million. Additionally, as of June 30, 2014, we had no outstanding indebtedness. 2014 Outlook The Company continues to expect full year 2014 revenue will be in the range of $180 million to $183 million, representing an increase of 14% to 16% year-over-year. The Company continues to expect full year 2014 Adjusted EBITDA will be in the range of $(11.0) million to $(9.0) million. New Product Approvals, Introductions and Launches The K2M Complex Spine product offering continues to grow with the issuance of a 510(k) clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to market the CASPIAN® Occipital Anchor Spinal System. This system offers surgeons a uniquely flexible intraoperative solution for occipital fixation which can be a challenging component of complex spinal procedures. The design of the CASPIAN Occipital Anchor includes a technique that may be of particular interest to the growing number of neurosurgeons performing complex spinal procedures. K2M also continued the global expansion of its minimally invasive technologies with the introduction of SERENGETI in Japan and the launch of CAYMAN Minimally Invasive in the United States, the United Kingdom and Australia. SERENGETI is an existing K2M flagship minimally invasive product, featuring one-step placement of screws and retractors thereby reducing the number of surgical steps, while allowing for direct visualization and improved access to the spine. The Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency (PMDA) clearance of SERENGETI in Japan follows K2M’s 2009 entrance into the Japanese market via its MESA® Spinal Systems. Similar to 510(k) clearance in the United States, the PMDA clearance allows for sale and distribution of SERENGETI and MESA in Japan.

K2M GROUP HOLDINGS, INC. Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures This press release includes the non-GAAP financial measures of revenue in constant currency, Adjusted EBITDA and pro forma net loss per share. We present these non-GAAP measures because we believe these measures are useful indicators of our operating performance. Our management uses these non-GAAP measures principally as a measure of our operating performance and believes that these measure are useful to investors because they are frequently used by analysts, investors and other interested parties to evaluate companies in our industry. We also believe that these measures are useful to our management and investors as a measure of comparative operating performance from period to period. Constant currency information compares results between periods as if exchange rates had remained constant period-to-period. In this release, the Company calculates constant currency by calculating current-year results using prior-year foreign currency exchange rates. Adjusted EBITDA represents net income (loss) plus interest expense, discount on prepayment of notes to stockholders, income tax expense (income tax benefit), depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense and foreign currency transaction loss (foreign currency transaction gain). Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure and should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) as a measure of financial performance or cash flows from operations as a measure of liquidity, or any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP and it should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA is not intended to be a measure of free cash flow for management’s discretionary use, as it does not reflect certain cash requirements such as tax payments, debt service requirements, capital expenditures and certain other cash costs that may recur in the future. Adjusted EBITDA contains certain other limitations, including the failure to reflect our cash expenditures, cash requirements for working capital needs and cash costs to replace assets being depreciated and amortized. In evaluating Adjusted EBITDA, you should be aware that in the future we may incur expenses that are the same as or similar to some of the adjustments in this presentation. Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed to imply that our future results will be unaffected by any such adjustments. Management compensates for these limitations by primarily relying on our GAAP results in addition to using Adjusted EBITDA supplementally. Our definition of Adjusted EBITDA is not necessarily comparable to other similarly titled captions of other companies due to different methods of calculation. The following table presents a reconciliation of net loss to Adjusted EBITDA for the periods presented.
Pro forma net loss per share gives pro forma effect to the issuance of shares in the Company’s initial public offering (“IPO”) and the reversal of the (1) accretion or write-up of preferred stock, (2) discount on the prepayment of notes to stockholders and (3) interest expense on notes to stockholders and line of credit, in each case as if our initial public offering had occurred on the first day of the period. In connection with our IPO, our preferred stock converted into common stock and we used a portion of the IPO proceeds to pay accrued dividends on our preferred stock and to repay our stockholder notes and borrowings under our revolving line of credit. The following table presents a reconciliation of GAAP net loss per share to pro forma net loss per share:
