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 first quarter ended March 31, 2017.
First Quarter Financial Highlights
- First quarter 2017 revenue was $20.5 million, a 23% increase over the first quarter 2016.
- First quarter 2017 gross margin was 86% compared to 81% in the first quarter 2016.
First Quarter Business Highlights
- In February 2017, the company received approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for its PROPEL® Contour steroid releasing sinus implant. PROPEL Contour features an innovative hourglass design that facilitates treatment of patients with chronic sinusitis in the frontal (behind the forehead) and maxillary (behind the cheeks) sinuses. With this approval, Intersect ENT’s PROPEL® family of steroid releasing implants allows for treatment of patients undergoing ethmoid, frontal or maxillary surgeries, which represent the majority of procedures for the treatment of chronic sinusitis.
- In March 2017, the company announced the submission of a New Drug Application (NDA) to the FDA for review and approval of its investigational RESOLVE steroid releasing implant designed to provide a cost-effective, less invasive solution for patients that have had ethmoid sinus surgery, yet suffer from recurrent sinus obstruction. The RESOLVE implant is designed to be placed in the ethmoid sinus in a procedure conducted in the physician’s office as an alternative to other treatment options such as further medical therapy or revision surgery.
First Quarter Financial Results
Total revenue grew to $20.5 million for the first quarter of 2017, compared to $16.7 million for the same period of 2016, an increase of 23%. The increase in revenue was primarily attributable to growth in adoption of PROPEL® and PROPEL® Mini, including an increase in the average selling price, and to initial sales of PROPEL Contour.
Gross profit for the first quarter of 2017 was $17.6 million, representing an 86% gross margin, compared to $13.5 million, representing an 81% gross margin, in the same period of the prior year. The increase in gross profit was primarily attributable to the continued increases in production efficiency, an increase in price and sales of PROPEL Contour inventory that was produced prior to FDA approval and expensed in the fourth quarter of 2016.
Operating expenses for the first quarter of 2017 were $24.5 million, compared to $21.9 million in the same period of the prior year, representing an increase of 12%. R&D expenses decreased slightly, dropping to $4.2 million in the first quarter of 2017 from $4.5 million in the same period of 2016. SG&A increased to $20.3 million from $17.4 million in the first quarter of 2016, primarily driven by increased headcount and personnel costs.
Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments totaled $98.4 million as of March 31, 2017.
Outlook
The company expects to achieve revenue in the second quarter 2017 of $22.5-$22.7 million. For the full year 2017, the company is raising the revenue outlook to $89-$91 million from the prior guidance of $87-$89 million. The company expects to achieve a full year 2017 gross margin of approximately 84%, on the high end of the previously stated outlook of 83-84%, and operating expenses in the range of $96-$98 million.
