  • GAAP Revenue of $20.0 Million, up 25%
  • GAAP EPS of $0.30, Non-GAAP EPS of $0.37
  • Core Business Performs Well as Key Strategic Growth Priorities Advance
  • Raises Fiscal 2016 Revenue and EPS Guidance

EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jul. 28, 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 third quarter, ended June 30, 2016.

“Surmodics continued to advance all key strategic growth priorities while delivering against our fiscal 2016 financial commitments,” said Gary Maharaj, president and chief executive officer. “We are pleased to say that the integration of the Creagh Medical and NorMedix acquisitions are on track. We have earned revenue from our first customer with fully integrated Surmodics coatings and Creagh Medical balloon technologies. We also continue to make excellent progress in enrollment for our investigational device exemption (IDE) study of our SurVeil™ drug-coated balloon platform with nine patients enrolled in the study.”

Third Quarter Revenue and Earnings Summary

GAAP revenue for the fiscal 2016 third quarter totaled $20.0 million, compared with $15.9 million a year earlier. Third quarter fiscal 2016 revenue included $1.2 million from Surmodics’ fiscal 2016 acquisitions as well as a previously disclosed $2.9 million, or $0.14 per share, hydrophilic royalty catch-up payment, of which $2.6 million related to periods prior to fiscal 2016.

Diluted GAAP earnings per share from continuing operations in the third quarter of fiscal 2016 were $0.30, same as a year ago. On a non-GAAP basis, earnings per share increased 19% to $0.37 in the third quarter of fiscal 2016 versus $0.31 last year. Fiscal 2016 third quarter non-GAAP earnings exclude $0.07 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 $15.7 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2016, an increase of 35 percent compared to the year-ago period. The gain stems from higher hydrophilic coating royalties, reagent product sales and acquisition revenue. Fiscal third quarter 2016 hydrophilic coating royalty and license fee revenue included the $2.9 million catch-up payment and aggregated $10.5 million, an increase of 34 percent compared to the year-earlier period. The Medical Device business unit generated $6.7 million of operating income in the third quarter compared to $6.3 million in the prior-year quarter. Increased revenue offset by increased research and development expense as well as acquisition-related expenses accounted for the change in operating income.

In Vitro Diagnostics Segment

Revenue for the third quarter of fiscal 2016 grew one percent to $4.3 million, as compared to an exceptionally strong year-ago period. The IVD business unit operating income in the third quarter of fiscal 2016 increased to $1.7 million versus $1.2 million in the prior-year quarter. Operating income benefited from lower legal costs.

Update on SurVeil Drug-Coated Balloon

As previously disclosed, Surmodics has enrolled the ninth patient in its IDE study of the SurVeil drug-coated balloon. This study is part of the Company’s strategy of providing highly differentiated intravascular whole product solutions. Up to 15 patients can be enrolled. Surmodics plans to complete enrollment in this clinical study during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016. “There is an opportunity with the next wave of DCB technology to continue to improve patient outcomes as the technology is advanced,” said D. Christopher Metzger, M.D., at Wellmont Holston Valley Medical Center in Kingsport, Tennessee and National Principal Investigator for the PreVeil Study. “I am pleased to be part of Surmodics’ U.S. early feasibility trial as we continue to evaluate this promising, next-generation technology available with the SurVeil DCB."

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow

As of June 30, 2016, the Company had $44.2 million of cash and investments. Surmodics generated cash from operating activities of $18.5 million in the first nine-months of fiscal 2016. Capital expenditures totaled $4.9 million for the first nine-months of fiscal 2016. In addition, the Company used $25.1 million of net cash to acquire Creagh Medical and NorMedix in the first nine-months of fiscal 2016.

Fiscal 2016 Outlook

According to Maharaj, “Through the first three quarters of fiscal 2016, our revenue increased 19 percent. As a result, we are raising our revenue and earnings guidance for fiscal 2016.”

Surmodics is increasing full-year revenue guidance to be in the range of $68.0 million to $70.0 million as well as diluted GAAP earnings per share in the range of $0.52 to $0.59. Surmodics also is increasing non-GAAP earnings per share to a range of $0.98 to $1.08, up from a range of $0.75 to $0.85. Surmodics is reaffirming its anticipated capital expenditures in the range of $8.0 million to $9.0 million.

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 progress in our IDE study; (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.
