NuVasive Announces First Quarter 2017 Financial Results

SAN DIEGO, April 25, 2017 /PRNewswire/ — NuVasive, Inc. (Nasdaq: NUVA), a leading medical device company focused on transforming spine surgery with minimally disruptive, procedurally-integrated solutions, announced today financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2017.

First Quarter 2017 Highlights

  • Revenue increased 16.2% to $250 million, or 16.0% on a constant currency basis;
  • GAAP operating profit margin of 9.3%; Non-GAAP operating profit margin of 14.1%;
  • GAAP diluted earnings per share of $0.22; Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share increase of 11.8% to $0.38; and
  • Expanded existing revolving line of credit from $150 million up to $500 million.

“NuVasive is off to a solid start to the year, with our International business exceeding our expectations, and we saw momentum building in our U.S. business as we exited the quarter,” said Gregory T. Lucier, chairman and chief executive officer of NuVasive. “We are on track to deliver non–GAAP operating profit margin expansion of at least 100 basis points in 2017, reflecting our continued focus on operational efficiencies and the ramp up of our in-house manufacturing facility. Coupled with several innovative product and systems launches planned for 2017, including LessRay designed for radiation reduction, RELINE Trauma system, expandable cages and UNYTE system for complex fractures, we anticipate strong revenue acceleration for the balance of the year.”

The Company also announced it amended its existing revolving line of credit to expand the facility from $150 million up to $500 million. The credit facility amendment demonstrates the Company’s opportunistic approach to its capital structure, and provides for a five-year term at reasonable borrowing rates. The Company expects the expanded facility to allow greater flexibility in planning for the maturity of its convertible notes due July 2017, and support future investment in organic and inorganic growth initiatives.

A full reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP measures can be found in the tables of this news release.

First Quarter 2017 Results

NuVasive reported first quarter 2017 total revenue of $249.9 million, a 16.2% increase compared to $215.1 million for the first quarter 2016. On a constant currency basis, first quarter 2017 total revenue increased 16.0% compared to the same period last year.

For the first quarter 2017, both GAAP and non-GAAP gross profit was $188.3 million, and both GAAP and non-GAAP gross margin was 75.3%. These results compared to GAAP and non-GAAP gross profit of $160.9 million and $165.8 million, respectively, and GAAP and non-GAAP gross margin of 74.8% and 77.1% respectively, for the first quarter 2016. The lower gross margin profile year-over-year is primarily driven by the expense profile of the Biotronic NeuroNetwork business acquired in July 2016. Total GAAP and non-GAAP operating expenses were $165.0 million and $152.9 million, respectively, for the first quarter of 2017. These results compared to GAAP and non-GAAP operating expenses of $148.6 million and $135.5 million, respectively, for the first quarter 2016.

The Company reported a GAAP net income of $12.8 million, or $0.22 per share, for the first quarter 2017 compared to a GAAP net loss of ($3.4) million, or ($0.07) per share, for the first quarter 2016. On a non-GAAP basis, the Company reported net income of $20.0 million, or $0.38 per share, for the first quarter 2017 compared to net income of $17.2 million, or $0.34 per share, for the first quarter 2016.

Cash, cash equivalents and short and long-term marketable securities were approximately $134 million at March 31, 2017.
