MENLO PARK, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Intersect ENT, Inc. (NASDAQ:XENT), a company dedicated to improving the quality of life for patients with ear, nose and throat conditions, today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2016.
- Fourth quarter 2016 revenue was $24.2 million, a 29% increase over the fourth quarter 2015. Full year 2016 revenue was $78.7 million, a 28% increase over the full year 2015.
- Fourth quarter 2016 gross margin was 84% compared to 80% in the fourth quarter 2015. Full year 2016 gross margin was 83% compared to 80% in 2015.
“We are pleased to have delivered another strong year in 2016 both in terms of commercial success and pipeline progress, highlighted by positive results in two pivotal randomized clinical trials,” said Lisa Earnhardt, president and CEO of Intersect ENT. “We look forward to continuing to deliver innovative solutions to the ENT community in 2017 by expansion of PROPEL® use, bolstered by the frontal indication and the upcoming PROPEL® Contour launch, combined with pursuit of FDA approval of the RESOLVE product. Our long-term goal remains the treatment of chronic sinusitis patients across the continuum of care.”
Fourth Quarter 2016 Financial Results
Revenue for the fourth quarter of 2016 increased 29% to $24.2 million from $18.8 million for the same period of 2015. This increase in revenue is primarily attributable to continuing expansion of the adoption of PROPEL and PROPEL® Mini, including for the newly expanded indication for PROPEL Mini.
Gross profit for the fourth quarter rose to $20.3 million, or 84% gross margin, as compared to $15.1 million, or 80% gross margin, from the prior year. The increase in gross profit was due primarily to a higher average selling price, higher production volumes over which to spread manufacturing costs and increased production efficiency.
R&D expenses increased by 25% to $5.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2016 from $4.4 million for the same period of 2015. This increase was primarily due to R&D product manufacturing expenses for the PROPEL Contour product partially offset by a decrease in clinical trial activities. SG&A expenses increased by 20% to $19.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2016 from $16.5 million for the same period of 2015. This increase resulted primarily from an increase in sales force headcount.
Net loss for the fourth quarter of 2016 was $4.8 million compared to $5.7 million for the same period of 2015. Fourth quarter 2016 basic and diluted net loss per share was $0.17 per share compared to $0.20 per share for the same period of 2015.
2016 Financial Results
Revenue for the year ended December 31, 2016 increased 28% to $78.7 million from $61.6 million for the same period of 2015. This increase in revenue is primarily attributable to continuing expansion of the adoption of PROPEL and PROPEL Mini, including for the newly expanded indication for PROPEL Mini.
Gross profit for the year rose to $65.7 million, or 83% gross margin, as compared to $49.3 million, or 80% gross margin, from the prior year. The increase in gross profit was due primarily to a higher average selling price, higher production volumes over which to spread manufacturing costs, and increased production efficiency.
R&D expenses increased 14% to $18.9 million for 2016, from $16.6 million for 2015. The increase in R&D expenses was primarily due to increases in headcount. SG&A expenses increased 22% to $72.9 million for 2016, from $59.6 million for 2015. This increase resulted primarily from an increase in sales force headcount.
Net loss for the full year 2016 was $25.2 million compared to a net loss of $26.6 million for the full year 2015. Full year 2016 basic and diluted net loss per share was $0.89 per share compared to $1.02 for the full year 2015.
Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments totaled $103.9 million as of December 31, 2016.
