Uroplasty Reports Record Quarterly Revenue

~ U.S. Urgent PC Sales Up 19% in Fiscal Third Quarter
~~ Total Sales Increase by 14% to $6.4 Million

Uroplasty, Inc. (UPI), a medical device company that develops, manufactures and markets innovative proprietary products to treat voiding dysfunctions, today reported strong financial results for the fiscal 2014 third quarter ended December 31, 2013. 

Total revenues for the fiscal third quarter 2014 were $6.4 million, up 14% from the same quarter in the prior year. Sales of the Company's Urgent® PC Neuromodulation System in the United States grew 19% to $3.2 million, as compared to $2.7 million in the third quarter of the prior year.  Sales of Macroplastique in the United States grew 11% to $1.5 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2014.  Total net sales outside of the U.S. grew 11% to $1.6 million.

 

"Successful execution of the sales strategies we implemented earlier this fiscal year drove our continued sequential and year-over-year improvement," said Rob Kill, President and Chief Executive Officer of Uroplasty.  "We are encouraged with the growth results generated to date for U.S. Urgent PC sales and expect recent trends to continue during the fourth quarter.  Our sales force is gaining momentum following our investment in ongoing training during the third quarter and, as a result, we are forecasting 25-30% year-over-year revenue growth for Urgent PC in the U.S. for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014." 

The Company generated a gross margin of 87.8% in the recent fiscal third quarter compared with 86.9% in the same quarter a year ago.  Operating expenses for the period totaled $6.3 million compared to $5.5 million in the same quarter last year.  The increase was due primarily to higher sales and marketing costs reflecting higher personnel expenses resulting from the expansion and reorganization of the Company's selling and marketing team, costs for increased marketing programs, and the  new medical device tax.

The operating loss of $0.7 million in the fiscal third quarter compares with a $0.7 million operating loss in the same quarter last year.  Excluding non-cash charges for share-based compensation and depreciation and amortization expense, the non-GAAP operating loss was $0.3 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2014, compared with a $0.1 million non-GAAP operating loss in the third quarter a year ago. 

For the nine-month period ended December 31, 2013, sales grew 8% to $18.2 million, reflecting a 9% increase in U.S. sales and a 5% increase in sales outside the U.S. In the U.S., sales of Urgent PC increased 13% to $9.0 million.  At December 31, 2103, cash, cash equivalents and cash investments totaled $12.6 million.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures:  The following table reconciles our operating loss calculated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (GAAP) to non-GAAP financial measures that exclude non-cash charges for share-based compensation, depreciation and amortization expenses from gross profit, operating expenses and operating loss.  The non-GAAP financial measures used by management and disclosed by us are not a substitute for, nor superior to, financial measures and consolidated financial results calculated in accordance with GAAP, and you should carefully evaluate our reconciliations to non-GAAP.  We may calculate our non-GAAP financial measures differently from similarly titled measures used by other companies.  Therefore, our non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to those used by other companies.  We have described the reconciliations of each of our non-GAAP financial measures described above to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

We use these non-GAAP financial measures, and in particular non-GAAP operating loss, for internal managerial purposes because we believe such measures are important indicators of the strength and the operating performance of our business.  Analysts and investors frequently ask us for this information.  We believe that they use these measures to evaluate the overall operating performance of companies in our industry, including as a means of comparing period-to-period results and as a means of evaluating our results with those of other companies.

Our non-GAAP operating loss during the three months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 was approximately $277,000 and $135,000, respectively.  The increase in non-GAAP operating loss for the three months ended December 31, 2013 over the corresponding period a year ago is attributed to the increase in operating spending, offset slightly by the increase in net sales and gross profit percent.  Our non-GAAP operating loss during the nine months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 was approximately $2.7 million and $858,000, respectively.  The increase in non-GAAP operating loss for the nine months ended December 31, 2013 over the corresponding period a year ago is attributed to the increase in operating spending (including $1.4 million of cash costs related to our review of internal control over financial reporting and executive management changes), offset slightly by the increase in net sales and gross profit percent.
