Second Quarter 2015 Financial Results
Financial results for the second quarter of 2015 are reported using the same carve out basis of accounting that was used for reporting SeaSpine’s financial results in the Form 10 Registration Statement, as amended, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Revenue for the second quarter decreased 6% to $33.5 million from $35.8 million during the same period of the prior year. Revenue from Orthobiologics was $17.0 million, reflecting growth of 1%, and revenue from Spinal Fusion Hardware was $16.5 million, reflecting a decline of 13%. This decline was primarily attributable to continued pricing pressure, decreased demand for the Company’s existing products, and delays in new product launches. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates reduced reported revenues by $0.3 million in the second quarter of 2015 compared to the prior year period.
Gross profit for the second quarter of 2015 was 56.6%, a slight decrease compared to the same period in 2014. Operating expenses for the second quarter of 2015 increased $9.5 million to $35.0 million, compared to $25.6 million for the same period of the prior year. SG&A expenses increased $9.4 million to $31.7 million for the second quarter of 2015 compared to $22.2 million for the same period of the prior year. This increase was primarily attributable to $9.8 million of spinoff related charges, slightly offset by lower depreciation on instruments sets and lower commission expense.
R&D expenses were relatively flat at $2.0 million for the second quarter of 2015.
Effective income tax rates were (9.6)% and (7.8)% for the second quarter of 2015 and 2014, respectively. The Company reported income tax expense for both periods, despite the reported losses before income taxes in those periods, because the Company’s legal entity structure did not permit the offset of taxable losses generated by certain U.S. subsidiaries against the taxable income generated by another of the Company’s U.S. subsidiaries. In the third quarter of 2015, the Company expects to make an election that will enable all of its subsidiaries to file a joint U.S. consolidated federal income tax return, such that taxable income and losses from all of its U.S. subsidiaries will be included in a single return.
Net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2015 was $17.7 million, compared with net loss of $5.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014. Pro forma loss per share, calculated based on the approximately 11.0 million shares of SeaSpine common stock that were distributed to Integra shareholders on July 1, 2015, was ($1.60) for the second quarter of 2015, compared to ($0.49) for the second quarter of 2014.
On July 1, 2015, SeaSpine completed its tax-free spinoff from Integra and was capitalized with $47.0 million in cash and no debt.
2015 Financial Outlook
SeaSpine expects full year 2015 revenue to be in a range of $133 million to $139 million, representing flat to 4% decline versus 2014.
During the remainder of 2015, the Company expects to start incurring costs under the transition services agreements with Integra and expects to incur additional transaction and operational costs related to the spinoff and costs and expenses related to the commencement of operations as a separate, publicly traded company, some of which may be non-cash in nature. Such costs and expenses may be significant and can vary from period to period. The Company does not expect to incur significant amounts of spinoff and transition service costs in future years.
