Third Quarter 2016 Highlights:

  • On August 8, 2016, the Company announced the pricing of a private offering of $50 million aggregate principal amount of 4.125% convertible senior notes (the “Notes”) due 2036.
  • On September 21, 2016, the Company announced at the Scoliosis Research Society (SRS) 51st Annual Meeting & Course in Prague, Czech Republic, that it has received 510(k) clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for screw and connector components toward a growing spine application for its MESA®Spinal System. This clearance enables these screw and connector components to be used as a part of a growing rod construct designed to accommodate growth in patients under 10 years of age.

Highlights Subsequent to Quarter-End:

  • On October 6, 2016, the Company announced it has received 510(k) clearance from the FDA to expand its CASCADIA™ Lateral Interbody System featuring Lamellar 3D Titanium Technology™, the Company’s innovative technology that uses 3D printing with the goal of allowing for bony integration throughout an implant. The CASCADIA Lateral Interbody System line extension clearance strengthens K2M’s MIS portfolio and the Company’s leadership in the 3D printing of spinal devices, as evidenced by its having the most comprehensive 3D-printed spinal portfolio available on the market.
  • On October 26, 2016, the Company announced the U.S. launch of its award-winning CASCADIA Interbody Systems, featuring Lamellar 3D Titanium Technology, during the 31st North American Spine Society (NASS) Annual Meeting. K2M presented clinical background on its 3D-printed technologies and showcased the Company’s comprehensive CASCADIA product portfolio, which was recognized by Orthopedics This Weekwith a 2016 Spine Technology Award as one of the best new spine technologies of 2016.

“Our third quarter sales growth of 16.5% in the U.S. was consistent with both our near-term expectations, and our long-term objective of revenue growth in the mid-to-high teens,” said President and Chief Executive Officer, Eric Major. “U.S. sales this quarter were driven primarily by a strong summer deformity season and the contributions from new customers adopting K2M’s innovative technologies across our procedure categories, but most notably in our degenerative and minimally invasive categories, which are benefitting from sales of our Lamellar 3D Titanium Technology platform. K2M offers the most comprehensive portfolio of FDA-cleared 3D-printed spinal devices on the market today and the surgeon community continues to show increasing awareness of our leadership position in this important area of the market.”

Mr. Major continued: “U.S. sales have increased 15% over the first nine months of 2016, driven by strong growth in each of our procedure categories—complex, minimally invasive and degenerative—which have increased sales 12%, 16% and 17%, respectively, so far this year. We are pleased to be reporting improving profitability as the year progresses. In addition, we look forward to continued progress throughout the balance of 2016 and have updated our full-year guidance expectations accordingly.”

Total revenue for third quarter 2016 increased $4.3 million, or 7.8%, to $59.3 million, compared to $55.0 million in the third quarter of 2015. Total revenue increased 8.7% year-over-year on a constant currency basis. The increase in revenue was primarily driven by greater sales volume from new surgeon users and newer product offerings, partially offset by a decrease in existing customer usage and decreases in both international direct and distributor revenue compared to last year.

Revenue in the United States increased $6.5 million, or 16.5% year-over-year, to $46.0 million, and international revenue decreased $2.2 million, or 14.3% year-over-year, to $13.3 million. Third quarter 2016 international revenue decreased 11.8% year-over-year on a constant currency basis. Foreign currency exchange impacted third quarter international revenue by approximately $0.4 million, representing approximately 247 basis points of international growth year-over-year.

The following table represents domestic revenue by procedure category.

($,thousands)   2016     2015      $ Change   % Change   
Complex Spine $ 19,516   $ 16,852     $ 2,664        15.8 %  
Minimally Invasive   6,767     6,344       423     6.7 %

U.S Revenue: $ 45,978   $ 39,459     $ 6,519     16.5 %  
                             

By procedure category, U.S. revenue in the Company’s complex spine, MIS and degenerative categories represented 42.4%, 14.7% and 42.9% of U.S. revenue, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2016.

Gross profit for third quarter 2016 increased 5.8% to $39.8 million, compared to $37.6 million for third quarter 2015. Gross margin was 67.1% compared to 68.4% last year. Gross profit includes amortization expense on investments in surgical instruments of $3.5 million, or 5.8% of sales, for the three months ended September 30, 2016, compared to $3.1 million, or 5.7% of sales, last year. Third quarter of fiscal 2015 cost of goods sold included costs, net of recoveries, associated with medical device excise tax of $(0.1) million compared to no such expenses in the current period.

Operating expenses for third quarter 2016 decreased $1.7 million, or 3.6%, to $45.9 million, compared to $47.6 million for third quarter 2015. The decrease in operating expenses was driven primarily by a 15.0% decrease in general and administrative expenses offset partially by a 2.1% increase in sales and marketing expenses compared to last year.

Loss from operations for the third quarter of 2016 was $6.1 million, compared to a loss from operations of $10.0 million last year. Loss from operations included intangible amortization of $2.6 million and $2.5 million for the third quarters of 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Other expense for the third quarter of 2016 increased $1.8 million to $1.9 million, compared to $0.1 million last year. The increase in other expense, net was primarily attributable to interest expense incurred on the capital lease obligation related to our headquarters and operations facilities as well as the Notes issued in August 2016, and an increase of $0.5 million in unrealized losses from foreign currency re-measurement on intercompany payable balances.  Foreign currency losses impacted operating results compared to last year due to changes in the average exchange rates of the U.S. Dollar, Pound Sterling and Euro applied to intercompany balances in both periods.

Net loss for the third quarter of 2016 was $7.9 million, or $(0.19) per diluted share, compared to a loss of $10.2 million, or $(0.25) per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2015.

Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Measures
(Unaudited)
(In Thousands)

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release includes the non-GAAP financial measures of revenue in constant currency, Adjusted Gross Profit, and Adjusted EBITDA.

The Company presents these non-GAAP measures because it believes these measures are useful indicators of the Company’s operating performance.  Management uses these non-GAAP measures principally as a measure of the Company’s operating performance and believes that these measures are useful to investors because they are frequently used by analysts, investors and other interested parties to evaluate companies in the Company’s industry.  The Company also believes that these measures are useful to our management and investors as a measure of comparative operating performance from period to period.

Constant currency information compares results between periods as if exchange rates had remained constant period-to-period.  We calculate constant currency by converting the prior-year results using current-year foreign currency exchange rates.

Adjusted Gross Profit represents Gross Profit less amortization expense of surgical instruments and medical device excise tax expense.  The Company presented Adjusted Gross Profit because it believes it is a useful measure of the Company’s gross profit and operating performance because the measure is not burdened by the timing impact of instrument purchases and related amortization as well as the medical device tax.  The Company believes that Adjusted Gross Profit is useful to investors because it is frequently used by analysts, investors and other interested parties to evaluate companies in its industry.

Adjusted EBITDA represents net loss plus interest expense, income tax (benefit) expense, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense and foreign currency transaction loss.  Adjusted EBITDA will also include a deduction for cash payments made for rent on the Company’s new headquarters and operations facilities under the capital lease agreement once rent payment commence in October 2016.

Adjusted EBITDA is presented because the Company believes it is a useful indicator of its operating performance.  Management uses the measure principally as a measure of the Company’s operating performance and for planning purposes, including the preparation of the Company’s annual operating budget and financial projections.  The Company believes Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors because it is frequently used by analysts, investors and other interested parties to evaluate companies in its industry.  The Company believes Adjusted EBITDA is useful to its management and investors as a measure of comparative operating performance from period to period.

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure and should not be considered as an alternative to net loss as a measure of financial performance or cash flows from operations as a measure of liquidity, or any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP and it should not be construed as an inference that the Company’s future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. In addition, the measure is not intended to be a measure of free cash flow for management’s discretionary use, as it does not reflect certain cash requirements such as tax payments, debt service requirements, capital expenditures and certain other cash costs that may recur in the future.  Adjusted EBITDA contains certain other limitations, including the failure to reflect our cash expenditures, cash requirements for working capital needs and cash costs to replace assets being depreciated and amortized. In evaluating Adjusted EBITDA, you should be aware that in the future the Company may incur expenses that are the same as or similar to some of the adjustments in this presentation.  The Company’s presentation of Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed to imply that its future results will be unaffected by any such adjustments. Management compensates for these limitations by primarily relying on the Company’s GAAP results in addition to using Adjusted EBITDA on a supplemental basis.  The Company’s definition of this measure is not necessarily comparable to other similarly titled captions of other companies due to different methods of calculation.

The following table presents reconciliations of gross profit to adjusted gross profit and net loss to Adjusted EBITDA for the periods presented.
