Endologix Reports Third Quarter 2018 Financial Results


IRVINE, Calif., November 1, 2018 - Endologix, Inc. (the “Company”) (NASDAQ: ELGX), a developer and marketer of innovative treatments for aortic disorders, today announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2018.

“While there is still significant work to be done, our third quarter results reflect the Company’s commitment to realizing the full potential of our recently announced strategic plan, with the ultimate goal of restoring credibility with customers and building value for stockholders. Our revenue came in slightly above the pre-announced range, and we also demonstrated gross margin expansion and operating expense discipline during the quarter. These results were largely driven by recent process improvements, giving us confidence in our ability to achieve our 2018 financial targets,” commented John Onopchenko, Chief Executive Officer of Endologix, Inc. “Additionally, we continue to make progress toward our clinical development and regulatory milestones and to educate customers and investigators around the world on the clinical benefits of AFX2, Ovation®, Alto®, and Nellix® in the treatment of AAA.”

Financial Results
Global revenue in the third quarter of 2018 was $34.8 million, a 24.4% decrease from $46.0 million in the third quarter of 2017. U.S. revenue in the third quarter of 2018 was $25.7 million, a 16.8% decrease from U.S. revenue of $30.9 million in the third quarter of 2017. International revenue was $9.1 million, a 40.1% decrease from International revenue of $15.1 million in the third quarter of 2017. On a constant currency basis, third quarter 2018 International revenue decreased 39.6% over the third quarter of 2017.

Gross profit was $22.6 million in the third quarter of 2018, which represents a gross margin of 65.1%. This compares to a gross profit of $29.1 million, or a gross margin of 63.3%, in the third quarter of 2017.

Total operating expenses of $38.5 million in the third quarter of 2018 was flat when compared to the third quarter of 2017. Excluding restructuring charges of $2.9 million in the third quarter of 2018 and $0.1 million in the third quarter of 2017, operating expense decreased 7.1% versus the third quarter of 2017.

Net loss for the third quarter of 2018 was $10.1 million, or $(0.12) per share, compared to a net loss of $14.3 million, or $(0.17) per share, a year ago. The net loss includes a $5.0 million favorable fair market valuation of our Nellix contingent consideration and an $8.3 million favorable change in derivative related to the Deerfield credit facility. Adjusted Net Loss (non-GAAP measure, defined below) totaled $13.0 million, compared to an Adjusted Net Loss of $9.3 million for the third quarter of 2017. Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP measure, defined below) loss totaled $9.3 million for the third quarter of 2018, compared to Adjusted EBITDA loss of $4.3 million for the third quarter of 2017.

Total cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash were $42.4 million as of September 30, 2018, and the Company had $10.0 million outstanding under the Deerfield revolving credit facility.

Financial Guidance
As previously disclosed at its Investor Meeting in October, the Company continues to anticipate 2018 revenue in the range of $150 million to $155 million. The Company now expects 2018 GAAP loss per share to be in the range of $(0.91) to $(0.87), compared to the previous range of $(1.12) to $(1.04). These loss per share numbers contemplate the impact of restructuring charges in the second half of the fiscal year but exclude the impact of any future changes in fair value of contingent consideration or derivative liabilities.


Furthermore, the Company continues to expect 2019 revenue of at least $140 million, while operating expenses are anticipated to be in the range of $130 million to $140 million.

Discussion of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Endologix's management believes that the non-GAAP measures of (1) "Adjusted Net Income (Loss)" and (2) “Adjusted EBITDA" enhance an investor's overall understanding of Endologix's financial and operating performance and its future prospects by (i) being more reflective of core operating performance and (ii) being more comparable with financial results over various periods. These measures, when used in conjunction with related GAAP financial measures, provide investors with an additional financial analytical framework that may be useful in assessing the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. Endologix's management uses these financial measures for strategic decision making, forecasting future financial results, and evaluating current period financial and operating performance. The presentation of non-GAAP financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. Furthermore, these measures are not intended to be liquidity measures. Other companies, including other companies in the Company’s industry, may not use these measures or may calculate these measures differently than the Company does, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures.

"GAAP" is generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.

Adjusted Net Income (Loss) Definition:
(1) "Adjusted Net Income (Loss)" is a non-GAAP measure defined by Endologix as net income (loss) under GAAP, excluding (to the extent relevant in a particular reporting period): (i) the fair value adjustment to the Nellix® acquisition contingent consideration liability; (ii) interest expense; (iii) foreign currency (gains) or losses; (iv) legal settlement costs; (v) contract termination and business acquisition expenses; (vi) business development expenses, including licensing costs related to research and development activities; (vii) restructuring and other transition costs; (viii) inventory step-up amortization; and (ix) loss on extinguishment of debt; and (x) fair value adjustment of derivative liabilities. Endologix intends to calculate "Adjusted Net Income (Loss)" in a consistent manner from period to period.

In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, this GAAP adjustment to net loss specifically represents: (i) the fair value adjustment to Nellix® contingent consideration liability; (ii) interest expense; (iii) foreign currency (gains) or losses; (iv) restructuring and other transition costs; (v) loss on extinguishment of debt; and (vi) fair value adjustment of derivative liabilities.

Adjusted EBITDA Definition:

(2) “Adjusted EBITDA” is a non-GAAP measure defined by Endologix as “Adjusted Net Income (Loss)” excluding income tax (benefit) expense, depreciation and amortization expense, and stock-based compensation expense.
