Second Quarter 2017 Financial Results
Revenue for the second quarter of 2017 totaled $34.2 million, a 3.0% increase compared to the same period of the prior year. Total revenue in the U.S. was $30.4 million, a 1.1% increase compared to the same period of the prior year due primarily to the improved performance of orthobiologics distributors during the current year period.
Orthobiologics revenue totaled $17.6 million, a 4.8% increase compared to the second quarter of 2016. The growth in orthobiologics revenue was driven by an increase in U.S. sales. Spinal instrumentation revenue totaled $16.6 million, a 1.1% increase compared to the second quarter of 2016 that was driven by stocking orders from a recently added distributor in Latin America.
Gross margin for the second quarter of 2017 was 59.1%, compared to 58.0% for the same period in 2016. The increase in gross margin was mainly driven by lower manufacturing costs for orthobiologics products manufactured at the Company’s Irvine, California facility. This was partially offset by a $0.2 million increase in non-cash amortization of technology intangible assets acquired in September 2016 from N.L.T. Spine Ltd and by lower gross margins associated with international sales, which were slightly higher as a percentage of total revenue in the second quarter of 2017 compared to the same period of the prior year.
Operating expenses for the second quarter of 2017 totaled $28.4 million, compared to $31.5 million for the same period of the prior year. The $3.1 million decrease in operating expenses was driven by lower selling, general and administrative and intangible amortization expenses.
Net loss for the second quarter of 2017 was $8.0 million, compared to a net loss of $12.0 million for the second quarter of 2016.
Cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2017 were $12.3 million and the Company had $4.0 million of outstanding borrowings against its $30.0 million credit facility. The Company realized $4.6 million in net proceeds in the second quarter of 2017 through the sale of approximately 477,000 shares of its common stock under its “at the market” equity offering program.
2017 Financial Outlook
SeaSpine expects full-year 2017 revenue to be in the range of $130.0 million to $133.0 million, reflecting growth of 1% to 3% over full-year 2016 revenue.
