AtriCure Reports Third Quarter 2020 Financial Results

Nov. 05, 2020

MASON, Ohio--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 05, 2020--AtriCure, Inc. (Nasdaq: ATRC), a leading innovator in treatments for atrial fibrillation (Afib) and left atrial appendage (LAA) management, today announced third quarter 2020 financial results.

"We are pleased with our third quarter performance and the improving trajectory of our business, which reflect the commitment of our team and underlying demand in our core markets," said Michael Carrel, President and Chief Executive Officer of AtriCure. "We are continuing to make significant progress on our strategic initiatives and are on the forefront of meaningfully expanding our addressable market opportunity."

Third Quarter 2020 Financial Results

Revenue for the third quarter of 2020 was $54.8 million, a decrease of $1.9 million or 3.3% (a decrease of 3.9% on a constant currency basis), compared to third quarter 2019 revenue, due to the global decline in surgical procedures as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. U.S. revenue decreased 3.1% to $44.7 million, and international revenue decreased 4.1% to $10.1 million, (a decrease of 7.2% on a constant currency basis), compared to third quarter 2019 revenue.

Gross profit for the third quarter of 2020 was $40.3 million compared to $41.8 million for the third quarter of 2019. Gross margin for the third quarter of 2020 remained relatively consistent at 73.7% compared to 73.8% in the third quarter of 2019, reflecting normal manufacturing operations during both periods.

Loss from operations for the third quarter of 2020 was $4.0 million, compared to $8.6 million for the third quarter of 2019. Net loss per share was $0.11 for the third quarter of 2020 compared to $0.25 for the third quarter of 2019. Adjusted EBITDA was a positive $4.2 million for the third quarter of 2020 compared to a loss of $2.2 million for the third quarter of 2019. Adjusted loss per share for the third quarter of 2020 was $0.11 compared to an adjusted loss per share of $0.33 for the third quarter of 2019.

Constant currency revenue, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted loss per share are non-GAAP measures. We discuss these non-GAAP measures and provide reconciliations to GAAP measures later in this release.

2020 Financial Guidance

Management expects revenue to be $56 million to $60 million for the fourth quarter of 2020 and $205 million to $209 million for the full year 2020. Full year adjusted EBITDA loss is expected to be approximately $10 million.

Incrementally higher or lower impact from the on-going global pandemic could cause forecasts for fourth quarter and full year 2020 to differ materially than these projections.

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release contains "forward-looking statements"- that is, statements related to future events that by their nature address matters that are uncertain. For details on the uncertainties that may cause our actual results to be materially different than those expressed in our forward-looking statements, visit http://www.atricure.com/fls as well as our Annual Reports on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q which contain risk factors. We do not undertake to update our forward-looking statements. Actual results could differ materially.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement AtriCure's condensed consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP, AtriCure provides certain non-GAAP financial measures in this release as supplemental financial metrics.

Revenue reported on a constant currency basis is a non-GAAP measure and is calculated by applying previous period foreign currency exchange rates, which are determined by the average daily Euro to Dollar exchange rate, to each of the comparable periods. Management analyzes revenue on a constant currency basis to better measure the comparability of results between periods. Because changes in foreign currency exchange rates have a non-operating impact on revenue, the Company believes that evaluating growth in revenue on a constant currency basis provides an additional and meaningful assessment of revenue to both management and investors.

Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as Net loss before other income/expense (including interest), income tax expense (benefit), depreciation and amortization expense, share-based compensation expense, acquisition costs, and change in fair value of contingent consideration liabilities. Management believes in order to properly understand the short-term and long-term financial trends, investors may wish to consider the impact of these excluded items in addition to GAAP measures. The excluded items vary in frequency and/or impact on our continuing results of operations and management believes that the excluded items are typically not reflective of our ongoing core business operations and financial condition. Further, management uses adjusted EBITDA for both strategic and annual operating planning, and previously used adjusted EBITDA as a performance metric in the annual incentive plan. A reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA reported in this release to the most comparable GAAP measure for the respective periods appears in the table captioned "Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Adjusted Income (Loss) (Adjusted EBITDA)" later in this release.

Adjusted loss per share is a non-GAAP measure which calculates the net loss per share before non-cash adjustments to expenses related to the adjustment in value of contingent consideration liabilities. Management believes this metric provides a better measure of comparability of results between periods, as such adjustments can be significant and vary in value and are not reflective of our core business. A reconciliation of adjusted loss per share reported in this release to the most comparable GAAP measure for the respective periods appears in the table captioned "Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Adjusted Loss Per Share" later in this release.

The non-GAAP financial measures used by AtriCure may not be the same or calculated in the same manner as those used and calculated by other companies. Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for AtriCure's financial results prepared and reported in accordance with GAAP. We urge investors to review the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financials measures included in this press release, and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business.
