Intersect ENT Reports Second Quarter 2020 Financial Results

MENLO PARK, Calif. — August 4, 2020 — Intersect ENT, Inc. (Nasdaq: XENT), a company transforming care for patients with ear, nose and throat (“ENT”) conditions, today reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2020.

Second Quarter 2020 Overview

• Revenue of $9.8 million in the second quarter of 2020, compared to $26.7 million in the second quarter of 2019

• Strong sales trend reinforces confidence in sequential second half revenue growth

• Cash, Cash Equivalents and Short-term Investments of $135.8 million

Total revenue was $9.8 million for the second quarter of 2020 compared to $26.7 million for the same period of 2019. This year-on-year decrease was attributable to hospitals suspending elective surgical procedures, and reduced ENT office visits, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Revenue for the PROPEL^® family of products for the quarter was $9.5 million. For the quarter, the Company generated significant revenue improvements with monthly revenues of $700 thousand, $3.1 million and $6.0 million in April, May and June, respectively. This trend continued with preliminary sales of approximately $8.2 million in July 2020.

“While well below last year, we achieved stronger than expected second quarter revenues led by the return of sinus surgery procedures using PROPEL as the U.S. market began to overcome the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic,” said Thomas A. West, President and CEO. “Our revenue performance reflected increasing momentum in the quarter with May stronger than a very soft April and June stronger than May. This momentum stemmed from the continued refinement, investment and improvement in our commercial execution on top of the pent-up demand of untreated patients awaiting care for chronic rhinosinusitis. In addition to steadily improving PROPEL volumes, SINUVA patient referrals also experienced a progressive rise throughout the quarter. We anticipate continued increases in elective sinus procedures that will drive sequential revenue growth during the second half of 2020, a trend we are already seeing as evidenced by our strong revenue performance in July.”

During the second quarter of 2020, the Company incurred idle facility charges of $4.4 million associated with the COVID-19 pandemic that reduced gross margin by approximately 45%. As a result, gross profit for the second quarter of 2020 was $2.4 million and gross margin was 25%, compared to gross profit of $21.6 million and gross margin of 81% for the same period of 2019. The Company expects gross margin to steadily improve in the second half of 2020 as, and to the extent, volume and production return to normal.

Operating expenses for the second quarter of 2020 were $23.5 million, compared to $33.7 million in the same period of 2019 reflecting the Company’s cost reduction actions to curtail spending given the uncertainties of the COVID-19 pandemic. R&D expenses decreased to $4.0 million from $6.0 million for the same period of 2019 as the Company delayed starting certain clinical efforts until later in 2020. SG&A expenses decreased to $19.5 million from $27.6 million for the same period of 2019.

Net loss for the second quarter of 2020 was $23.1 million, or $0.71 per share, compared to $11.4 million, or $0.36 per share, in the same period of 2019. Adjusted net loss for the second quarter of 2020 was $21.1 million, or $0.65 per share. Adjusted net loss excludes $1.8 million in losses on embedded derivatives and $0.2 million in restructuring costs. There were no adjustments in the same period of 2019.

The balance of cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments as of June 30, 2020 was $135.8 million, compared to $90.6 million at the start of the year. As previously announced, the Company expects to achieve approximately $40.0 million in cash savings for the full-year 2020 from its cost reduction efforts. For the second quarter of 2020, the Company slightly exceeded its cost savings plan realizing approximately $15.0 million in cash savings.

Outlook

As previously announced, due to the rapidly evolving environment and continued uncertainties resulting from the impact of COVID-19, Intersect ENT withdrew its annual guidance for 2020. Based on second quarter elective procedure volumes and referral trends, in addition to the strong third quarter start, the Company expects a sequential increase in revenues during the second half of 2020 from second quarter 2020 levels and to grow revenues in 2021 relative to 2019. The Company believes it will also return to gross margin levels in the mid-70% range by year end 2020. As a result of the Company’s cost reduction initiatives and capital raise of $65.0 million announced in May, the Company continues to believe it has adequate capital to operate effectively through 2022.

Non-GAAP Measures vs. GAAP Financial Measures

This release contains financial measures that are not calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). A reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures is provided in the financial schedules portion at the end of this press release. These non-GAAP financial measures differ from GAAP measures with the same captions and may differ from non-GAAP financial measures with the same or similar captions that are used by other companies. As such, these non-GAAP measures should not be considered substitutes for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.

The Company uses these non-GAAP financial measures to analyze its operating performance and future prospects, develop internal budgets and financial goals, and to facilitate period-to-period comparisons. The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors as they reflect an additional way of viewing aspects of its operations that, when viewed with its GAAP results, provide a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting its business.
