BILLERICA, Mass., Aug. 03, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — ConforMIS, Inc. (NASDAQ:CFMS), a medical technology company that uses its proprietary iFit Image-to-Implant technology platform to develop, manufacture and sell joint replacement implants that are customized to fit each patient’s unique anatomy, announced today financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2017.

Q2 Summary:

  • Total revenue of $18.5 million, down 4.4% year-over-year on a reported basis and down 3.6% on a constant currency basis
  • Product revenue of $18.0 million, down 5.5% year-over-year on a reported basis and down 4.8% on a constant currency basis
    – U.S. product revenue increased 1.5% year-over-year
    – Rest of World product revenue decreased 31.1% year-over-year on a reported basis and decreased 27.5% year-over-year on a constant currency basis

“As ConforMIS continues into this transition year, we experienced mixed results in the second quarter,” said Mark Augusti, President and Chief Executive Officer of ConforMIS, Inc. “The impact from changes in the field sales organization and in reimbursement adversely affected our overall revenue growth, while on a positive note, we were able to achieve a 300 basis point improvement in gross margin and a $2 million reduction in net loss over the prior year.”

Mr. Augusti continued, “We believe the changes that we are making will have a positive impact on our results moving forward. That said, we have adjusted our 2017 guidance to reflect our revenue expectations for the remainder of the year.”

Total revenue decreased $0.8 million to $18.5 million, or 4.4% year-over-year on a reported basis and decreased 3.6% on a constant currency basis. Total revenue in the second quarter of 2017 included royalty revenue related to patent license agreements of $0.4 million, as compared to $0.2 million in the second quarter of 2016.

Product revenue decreased $1.1 million to $18.0 million, or 5.5% year-over-year on a reported basis and decreased 4.8% on a constant currency basis. U.S. product revenue increased $0.2 million to $15.2 million, or 1.5% year-over-year, and Rest of World product revenue decreased $1.3 million to $2.8 million, or 31% year-over-year on a reported basis and decreased 27.5% on a constant currency basis. Product revenue from sales of iTotal CR, iDuo and iUni was $13.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017 compared to $15.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016, a decrease of $2.4 million, or 15.3% year-over-year, on a reported basis and 14.8% on a constant currency basis.  Product revenue from sales of iTotal PS was $4.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017 compared to $3.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016, an increase of $1.4 million, or 41.2% year-over-year, on a reported and constant currency basis.

Net loss was $12.1 million, or $0.28 per basic share, in the second quarter of 2017, compared to a net loss of $14.1 million, or $0.34 per basic share, for the same period last year. The decrease in second quarter net loss was driven primarily by higher foreign currency exchange transaction income related to international intercompany receivables and higher royalty revenue.

As of June 30, 2017, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents and investments totaled $71.2 million, compared to $65.5 million as of December 31, 2016.  As previously announced, in January 2017 the Company secured up to $50 million in term debt financing, of which $15 million was borrowed in January and $15 million was borrowed in June.

For the full year 2017, the Company expects gross margin in a range of 34% to 36%, from previous guidance of 36% to 38%.

Note on Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to disclosing financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), the Company provides certain information regarding the Company’s financial results or projected financial results on a non-GAAP “constant currency basis.” This information estimates the impact of changes in foreign currency rates on the translation of the Company’s current or projected future period financial results as compared to the applicable comparable period. This impact is derived by taking the adjusted current or projected local currency results and translating them into U.S. Dollars based upon the foreign currency exchange rates for the applicable comparable period. It does not include any other effect of changes in foreign currency rates on the Company’s results or business. Non-GAAP information is not a substitute for, and is not superior to, information presented on a GAAP basis.
