Endologix Reports Second Quarter 2017 Financial Results

IRVINE, Calif., August 2, 2017 - Endologix, Inc. (NASDAQ: ELGX), a developer and marketer of innovative treatments for aortic disorders, today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2017.

“While we are pleased with the overall results in the second quarter, the recovery in AFX^®2 sales in the U.S. has been slower than expected. Ovation^® continues to perform nicely and is currently the fastest growing endovascular AAA device in the U.S. market. Enrollment in the ELEVATE clinical study with Ovation Alto™ is on schedule, and we recently filed our clinical study design with the FDA for the Nellix^® confirmatory IDE,” commented John McDermott, Endologix’s Chief Executive Officer. “Looking toward the remainder of the year, we will continue our investment in innovative aortic technologies, while also focusing on increasing revenue and our operating efficiencies.”

Financial Results

Global revenue in the second quarter of 2017 was $48.6 million, a 4.7% decrease from $51.0 million in the second quarter of 2016. U.S. revenue in the second quarter of 2017 was $31.9 million, a 12.1% decrease from U.S. revenue of $36.3 million in the second quarter of 2016. International revenue was $16.7 million, a 13.3% increase from International revenue of $14.7 million in the second quarter of 2016. On a constant currency basis, second quarter 2017 International revenue increased 14.8%.

Gross profit was $32.2 million in the second quarter of 2017, which represents a gross margin of 66.4%. This compares to a gross profit of $29.5 million, or a gross margin of 57.8%, in the second quarter of 2016.

Total operating expenses were $40.1 million in the second quarter of 2017, compared to $52.7 million in the second quarter of 2016. Second quarter 2016 operating expenses included $1.9 million of expenses related to the TriVascular merger. Excluding these items, operating expenses in the second quarter of 2017 were $10.7 million lower than in the prior-year period, representing a decline of 20.9%, which was driven primarily by cost synergies related to the TriVascular merger.

Net loss for the second quarter of 2017 was $16.3 million, or $(0.20) per share, compared to a net loss of $66.8 million, or $(0.81) per share, a year ago. Adjusted Net Loss (non-GAAP, defined below) totaled $8.0 million, compared to an Adjusted Net Loss of $16.7 million for the second quarter of 2016. Endologix reported a negative Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP, defined below) of $2.3 million for the second quarter of 2017, compared to a negative Adjusted EBITDA of $10.4 million for the second quarter of 2016.

Total cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, and marketable securities were $94.5 million as of June 30, 2017. On April 3, 2017, the Company entered into an agreement for $170 million in funding through a $120 million six-year secured term loan and a $50 million three-year secured asset-based revolving line of credit. The Company drew the entire principal amount of the term loan on April 3, 2017 and used a portion of the proceeds to repurchase approximately $68 million aggregate principal amount of outstanding 2.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2018, plus the accrued but unpaid interest thereon, from the holders thereof in privately negotiated transactions. Subsequently, on June 23, 2017, the Company drew $25 million under the aforementioned revolver.

Financial Guidance

As a result of lower than expected AFX2 sales recapture in the U.S. market and sales force attrition, Endologix is reducing its previously issued revenue guidance. The Company now anticipates 2017 revenue in the range of $185 million to $190 million, compared to the previous range of $193 million to $200 million, representing a reported decrease of 2% to 4% compared to 2016. As a result, Endologix now anticipates 2017 GAAP loss per share in the range of $(0.91) to $(0.95), compared to its prior guidance of a GAAP loss per share in the range of $(0.83) to $(0.86). This revised guidance also reflects increased interest expense related to the aforementioned $120 million term loan and $25 million draw under the Company’s revolver. Additionally, Endologix now expects full-year operating expenses of approximately $170 million, compared to the prior guidance range of $170 million to $175 million.

Discussion of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Endologix's management believes that the non-GAAP measures of (1) "Adjusted Net Income (Loss)" and (2) “Adjusted EBITDA" enhance an investor's overall understanding of Endologix's financial and operating performance and its future prospects by (i) being more reflective of core operating performance and (ii) being more comparable with financial results over various periods. Endologix's management uses these financial measures for strategic decision making, forecasting future financial results, and evaluating current period financial and operating performance. The presentation of non-GAAP financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP.

"GAAP" is generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.

Adjusted Net Income (Loss) Definition:

(1) "Adjusted Net Income (Loss)" is a non-GAAP measure defined by Endologix as net income (loss)

under GAAP, excluding: (i) the fair value adjustment to the Nellix^® acquisition contingent consideration; (ii) interest expense; (iii) foreign currency (gains) or losses; (iv) legal settlement costs; (v) contract

termination and business acquisition expenses; (vi) business development expenses, including licensing

costs related to research and development activities; (vii) restructuring and other transition costs; (viii) fair

value adjustment of derivative liabilities; (ix) inventory step-up amortization; and (x) loss on extinguishment of debt.

In the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, this GAAP adjustment to net loss specifically

represents: (i) the fair value adjustment to Nellix contingent consideration liability; (ii) interest expense;

(iii) foreign currency (gains) or losses; (iv) restructuring and other transition costs; and (v) loss on extinguishment of debt.

In the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, this GAAP adjustment to net loss specifically represents: (i) the fair value adjustment to Nellix contingent consideration liability; (ii) interest expense; (ii) foreign currency (gains) or losses; (iii) legal settlement costs; (iv) contract termination and business acquisition expenses; (v) restructuring and other transition costs; (vi) fair value adjustment of derivative liabilities; and (vii) inventory step-up amortization.

In future periods, Adjusted Net Income (Loss) will continue to exclude: (i) the fair value adjustments to the Nellix contingent consideration liability; (ii) interest expense; (iii) foreign currency (gains) or losses; (iv) legal settlement costs; (v) contract termination and business acquisition expenses; (vi) business development expenses; (vii) restructuring and other transition costs; (viii) fair value adjustment of derivative liabilities; (ix) inventory step-up amortization; (x) loss on extinguishment of debt; and (xi) other non-recurring expenses or income, as described by Endologix.

Adjusted EBITDA Definition:

(2) “Adjusted EBITDA” is a non-GAAP measure defined by Endologix as “Adjusted Net Income (Loss)”

excluding income tax (benefit) expense, depreciation and amortization expense, and stock-based

compensation expense.
