NEWS RELEASE
INVUITY REPORTS 2016 FIRST QUARTER RESULTS
SAN FRANCISCO, May 5, 2016 - Invuity, Inc. (NASDAQ:IVTY), a leading surgical photonics company, today reported financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2016.
Q1 2016 Highlights
| · | Revenue grew 44% to $6.4 million compared to revenue of $4.4 million in the 2015 first quarter. |
| · | Gross margin improved to 67% compared to 61% in the 2015 first quarter |
| · | Approximately 545 hospitals purchased Invuity devices in the first quarter of 2016, up from 410 hospitals in the first quarter of 2015. |
| · | Approximately 162,000 procedures have been performed using Invuity devices. |
"We are pleased with our first quarter operational and financial results,” said President and CEO Philip Sawyer. “Revenue growth of 44% was achieved through increased surgeon demand for our products and execution from our sales force across our core markets of women’s health, spine/orthopedics and surgical oncology. This has been bolstered by strong interest in our top down Hidden Scar Breast Cancer Surgery marketing programs that will continue to broaden to include additional surgical specialties. Going forward, we expect our new product development pipeline to continue to feed high demand products providing additional leverage for our sales force.”
Financial Results
Revenue was $6.4 million in the first quarter of 2016, compared to $4.4 million in the first quarter of 2015, driven by both an increase in active accounts and an increase in the revenue per active account.
Gross margin for the 2016 first quarter was 67%, compared to 61% for the same period in 2015. Gross margin expansion has been helped by the recent introduction of our non-conductive polymer based retractors, and by overhead efficiencies created as a result of increased sales volumes.
Total operating expenses for the 2016 first quarter were $15.9 million, compared to $10.8 million in the prior year period. We have continued to invest in our commercial platform consistent with our stated objectives, including the continued ramp in sales reps and increased product development efforts related to our new product pipeline.
The net loss for the first quarter of 2016 was $12.1 million, or $0.90 loss per share, compared to a net loss of $9.0 million, or $12.84 loss per share, for the first quarter of 2015. The Company's balance sheet as of March 31, 2016, showed total cash and cash equivalents of $33.9 million.
