Q2 Summary:

• Total revenue of $19.3 million, up 1% year-over-year on a reported basis and no change year-over-year on a constant currency basis.  Prior year revenue includes $3.5 million royalty revenue related to the settlement of patent litigation compared to $0.2 million of royalty revenue this year.

  • U.S. product revenue increased 27% year-over-year

“We exceeded our revenue guidance for the second quarter of 2016,” said Philipp Lang, MD, MBA, President and Chief Executive Officer of ConforMIS, Inc.  “This positive result is among the reasons why we are increasing the lower end of our guidance for 2016.  We are extremely pleased with the market acceptance of iTotal PS in its first complete quarter following broad commercial launch.  This innovative new product approximately triples the addressable market for ConforMIS.”

Dr. Lang continued, “We are equally pleased with the progress ConforMIS has made in contracting with hospitals that participate in the new Medicare Comprehensive Care for Joint Replacement (CJR) model.  We now have vendor agreements with 45% of the hospitals across the United States that participate in the CJR program.  This is a notable achievement, particularly for a company of our commercial scale, that attests to our economic value proposition for hospitals.”

Second Quarter 2016 Financial Results

Total revenue increased $0.1 million to $19.3 million, or 1% year-over-year on a reported basis and no change year-over-year on a constant currency basis. Total revenue in the second quarter of 2016 includes royalty revenue of $0.2 million as compared to $3.5 million in the second quarter of 2015. The second quarter of 2015 included back-owed royalty revenue related to lump-sum payments received upon the signing of non-exclusive worldwide license agreements in connection with the settlement of patent litigation.

Product revenue increased $3.3 million to $19.1 million, or 21% year-over-year on a reported and constant currency basis. U.S. product revenue increased $3.2 million to $15.0 million, or 27% year-over-year, and Rest of World product revenue increased $0.2 million to $4.1 million, or 4% year-over-year on a reported basis and 3% on a constant currency basis. Product revenue from sales of iTotal CR, iDuo and iUni increased $0.6 million to $15.7 million, or 4% year-over-year on a reported and constant currency basis. Product revenue from sales of iTotal PS increased $2.8 million to $3.4 million, or 456% year-over-year on a reported and constant currency basis.

During the second quarter of 2016, the cost of unused product as a result of cancelled orders were reclassified to cost of revenue from sales and marketing expense.  These costs were $1.2 million and $1.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively, compared to $0.7 million and $1.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively.  This reclassification does not have any impact on loss from operations or net loss or cash flows.  The Company has determined that it is immaterial to the prior reporting periods presented.  This reclassification has been applied to the prior periods presented.

Total gross profit decreased $1.8 million to $6.0 million, or 31% of revenue, in the second quarter of 2016, compared to $7.8 million, or 41% of revenue, in the second quarter of 2015. The decrease in gross profit as compared to the prior year was caused by a decrease in royalty revenue from $3.5 million in the second quarter of 2015 to $0.2 million in the second quarter of 2016.  Product gross profit, which excludes royalty revenue, increased $1.4 million, or 32% year-over-year, to $5.8 million, or 30% of product revenue, in the second quarter of 2016 as compared to $4.4 million, or 28% of product revenue, in the second quarter of 2015.

Total operating expenses increased $1.4 million to $20.1 million, or 8% year-over-year. The increase in expenses was driven primarily by higher sales and marketing personnel costs as compared to the second quarter of 2015.

Net loss was $14.1 million, or $0.34 per basic share, in the second quarter of 2016, compared to a net loss of $10.9 million, or $2.51 per basic share, for the same period last year. The increase in net loss as compared to the prior year was caused by a decrease in net income related to royalty revenue. Net loss per basic share calculations assume weighted-average basic shares outstanding of 41.3 million for the second quarter of 2016, compared to 4.3 million basic shares in the same period last year.

As of June 30, 2016, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents and short and long-term investments totaled $87.6 million, compared to $117.2 million as of December 31, 2015.
