  • GAAP Revenue of $16.7 Million, up 16%, Third Consecutive Quarter of Double-Digit Growth
  • GAAP EPS of $0.06, Non-GAAP EPS of $0.20
  • SurVeil™ Drug-Coated Balloon Commences IDE Study
  • Raises Revenue and Non-GAAP EPS Guidance Ranges

EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 2, 2016-- Surmodics, Inc. (Nasdaq: SRDX), a leading provider of medical device and in vitro diagnostic technologies to the healthcare industry, today announced results for its fiscal 2016 second quarter, ended March 31, 2016.

“For the third consecutive quarter, we posted double-digit GAAP revenue growth. We are delivering strong performance and, based on Surmodics’ first-half results, we are raising our non-GAAP earnings guidance for fiscal 2016. Simultaneously, we are advancing our longer-term strategic agenda to be a whole products solution provider,” said Gary Maharaj, president and chief executive officer. “A key recent milestone is commencement of enrollment in the investigational device exemption (IDE) study of our SurVeil™ drug-coated balloon platform.”

Second Quarter Revenue and Earnings Summary

GAAP revenue for the fiscal 2016 second quarter totaled $16.7 million, compared with $14.4 million a year earlier. Second quarter fiscal 2016 revenue included $1.1 million from Surmodics’ recent fiscal 2016 acquisitions. GAAP revenue for the second quarter of fiscal 2016 also includes an estimated $1.1 million out-of-period adjustment to correct a cumulative overstatement of royalty revenue, of which $1.0 million related to years prior to fiscal 2016. The overstatement was not material to any prior periods.

Diluted GAAP earnings per share from continuing operations in the second quarter of fiscal 2016 were $0.06 compared with $0.23 a year ago. On a non-GAAP basis, earnings per share were $0.20 in the second quarters of fiscal 2016 and fiscal 2015. Fiscal 2016 second quarter non-GAAP earnings exclude $0.16 per share from acquisition-related transaction costs, including integration, contingent consideration accretion, amortization, foreign currency transaction and other expenses.

Medical Device Segment

This segment, which includes hydrophilic coatings, device drug delivery technologies and balloon catheter products, posted revenue of $11.6 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2016, an increase of 10 percent compared to the prior-year period. The gain stems from higher reagent product sales and acquisition revenue. Fiscal second quarter 2016 hydrophilic coating royalty and license fee revenue was $6.7 million, a decrease of 9 percent compared to the prior-year period. Second quarter hydrophilic royalties are net of the previously mentioned out-of-period royalty adjustment. The Medical Device business segment generated $2.3 million of operating income in the second quarter compared to $4.7 million in the prior-year quarter. Creagh Medical and NorMedix transaction-related expenses, which include transaction costs, intangible amortization and contingent consideration accretion, and foreign currency transaction loss costs of $2.1 million, and sales mix, accounted for the change in operating income.

In Vitro Diagnostics Segment

Revenue for the second quarter of fiscal 2016 totaled $5.1 million, an increase of 32 percent compared to the year-ago period. The IVD business segment operating income in the second quarter of fiscal 2016 more than doubled to $2.0 million from the prior-year quarter. Operating income benefited from improved operating leverage due to higher revenue and lower legal costs.

Update on SurVeil Drug-Coated Balloon

As previously disclosed, SurModics has commenced its IDE study of the SurVeil drug-coated balloon. This study is part of the Company’s strategy to expand to offer intravascular product solutions to its medical device customers. Three clinical sites have been identified to participate in the SurVeil early feasibility study and up to 15 patients can be enrolled.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow

As of March 31, 2016, the Company had $39.0 million of cash and investments. SurModics generated cash from operating activities of $9.4 million in the first half of fiscal 2016. Capital expenditures totaled $1.0 million for the first half of fiscal 2016. In addition, the Company used $25.1 million of net cash to acquire Creagh Medical and NorMedix in the first half of fiscal 2016.

Fiscal 2016 Outlook

According to Maharaj, “Our core Medical Device and IVD businesses had a strong first half, and we are pleased with the contributions from our recent acquisitions, giving us confidence to adjust our guidance.”

SurModics now expects full-year revenue to be in the range of $63.0 million to $66.0 million, an increase in the previous range of $62.0 million to $66.0 million. The fiscal 2016 revenue, GAAP earnings per share and non-GAAP earnings per share guidance ranges exclude the impacts of a $2.9 million, or $0.14 per share after-tax, royalty payment from a customer for the period from fiscal 2009 through fiscal 2016, that was reported to the Company subsequent to March 31, 2016. This royalty revenue will be recognized in the third quarter of fiscal 2016, when collectibility is reasonably assured and completion of the earnings process occurs, consistent with the Company’s revenue recognition policy. SurModics is reaffirming its previous diluted GAAP earnings range of $0.30 to $0.35 per share. Non-GAAP earnings per share is expected to be in the range of $0.75 to $0.85, up from a range of $0.66 to $0.75 per share. SurModics expects capital expenditures to range from $8.0 million to $9.0 million, an increase from $4.5 million to $5.0 million, driven largely by investments in Ireland in the second half fiscal 2016.

Safe Harbor for Forward-Looking Statements

This press release contains forward-looking statements. Statements that are not historical or current facts, including statements about beliefs and expectations regarding the Company’s performance in the near- and long-term, including our revenue, earnings and cash flow expectations for fiscal 2016, our fiscal 2016 priorities, and our SurVeil drug-coated balloon, are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties, and important factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated, including (1) our ability to successfully develop, obtain regulatory approval for, and commercialize our SurVeil drug-coated balloon product, including the timing associated with the initiation of our first-in-human clinical trial; (2) 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; (3) our ability to successfully identify, acquire, and integrate target companies, and achieve expected benefits from acquisitions that are consummated; (4) possible adverse market conditions and possible adverse impacts on our cash flows, and (5) 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, 2015, and updated in our subsequent reports filed with the SEC. These reports are available in the Investors section of our website at www.surmodics.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 generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, SurModics is reporting non-GAAP financial results including non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP income before income taxes, non-GAAP net income, and non-GAAP diluted net income per share. We believe that these non-GAAP measures 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 payout under our executive compensation programs. 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.
