UROLOGIX REPORTS FISCAL 2007 SECOND QUARTER RESULTS
Revenue was $6.0 Million, up 11% from First Quarter of Fiscal 2007;
Cash and Cash Equivalents Grew to $12 million
MINNEAPOLIS — January 25, 2007 — Urologix®, Inc. (NASDAQ:ULGX), today reported financial results for the fiscal 2007 second quarter ended December 31, 2006. Revenue for the second quarter was $6.0 million compared to $5.4 million reported in the first quarter of fiscal 2007 and $6.5 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2006. During the second quarter, average selling prices remained comparable to those in the prior quarter while catheter sales to direct accounts drove the 11 percent sequential improvement in overall revenue.
Net income for the second quarter was $0.1 million, or $0.01 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $0.5 million, or $0.04 per diluted share in the first quarter of fiscal 2007 and net income of $0.3 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, in the second quarter of fiscal 2006. For the six months ended December 31, 2006, revenue was $11.4 million compared to $12.7 million in the prior year period. The net loss for the six months ended December 31, 2006 was $0.4 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, compared to net income of $0.5 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, for the six months ended December 31, 2005.
“The second quarter rebound is encouraging,” said Fred B. Parks, chairman and chief executive officer of Urologix, “Our return to profitability as well as the strengthening of our balance sheet are further validation that we have a healthy foundation. We want to maintain this momentum while broadening our product appeal to a greater patient population.”
Gross profit for the second quarter of fiscal 2007 was $3.6 million, or 59 percent of revenue, a 4 percentage point improvement when compared to 55 percent of revenue in the first quarter of fiscal 2007
and an 8 percentage point decrease when compared to 67 percent of revenue in the same period last year. The majority of the sequential improvement in the gross profit rate was due to a shift in product mix. Further contributing to the sequential improvement, the Company experienced significant reductions in overtime and scrap as the Company made progress toward the resolution of the manufacturing issues that surfaced during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006. Second quarter operating expenses totaled $3.5 million, compared to $3.7 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2007 and $4.0 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2006 as the Company continues to prudently manage its expenses.
Balances of cash and cash equivalents increased to $12.0 million at December 31, 2006 from $10.8 million at September 30, 2006, due primarily to improved cash collections driven by increased revenue and by increased emphasis on collecting aged accounts. Days sales outstanding improved to 63 from 70 days in the prior quarter.
“We are delighted with the cash and accounts receivable improvements made during our second quarter”, said Elissa Lindsoe, chief financial officer of Urologix. “We will continue to remain focused on utilizing our assets wisely while spending appropriately in areas that will contribute to our future success”.
Current Outlook
The Company believes that revenue in the third quarter of fiscal 2007 will improve modestly over that reported in the second quarter. Third quarter product development and selling expenses are expected to increase from those reported in the second quarter of fiscal 2007. The Company’s management expects third quarter earnings before taxes to be positive.
