MINNEAPOLIS, MN, November 2, 2009— Uroplasty, Inc. (NYSE Amex: UPI), a medical device company that develops, manufactures and markets innovative proprietary products to treat voiding dysfunctions, today reported financial results for the second fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2009.
“Our team continues to execute our strategy for the current fiscal year by growing U.S. Macroplastique sales and maximizing the potential for gaining a unique CPT code for Urgent PC® treatments,” said David Kaysen, President & CEO. “During the quarter, we learned that a manuscript of the results from the SUmiT Trial has been recommended for publication inThe Journal of Urology® and is tentatively scheduled to appear in the April 2010 issue. This study reports on a 220-subject, multicenter, randomized, controlled clinical trial designed to directly compare the effectiveness of PTNS using Urgent PC to a validated sham intervention over a 12-week period and is a major component of our strategy to expand and support third-party reimbursement coverage of Urgent PC treatments. The investigators’ submission of this manuscript was ahead of the original timetable. We fully anticipate submitting an application to the American Medical Association (AMA) for a unique CPT code for PTNS prior to the November 11, 2009 deadline.
“While our fiscal second quarter and first half financial performance is below year-ago results, we are encouraged by the continued strong growth of our U.S. Macroplastique product sales,” continued Mr. Kaysen. “Sales of our Macroplastique product in the U.S. through six months of our current fiscal year have about doubled in each quarter over the corresponding year-ago quarter. At the same time, Urgent PC sales in the U.S., while continuing to be challenged by the uncertain insurance reimbursement environment, have stabilized at about $1 million per quarter in each of the last two quarters. While European sales continue to be impacted by a competitive product launch, we saw growth in sales in the second fiscal quarter from distributors in two major European markets which had recorded a decline in the first fiscal quarter. At the same time, with the SUmiT clinical study expenses largely behind us, and our vigilant efforts to manage expenses to conserve cash, we have adequate liquidity to meet our needs for the next 12 months.”
Fiscal Second Quarter and First Half Results for the Period Ended September 30, 2009
Net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2009 were $3.0 million versus $3.9 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2009. Net sales for the six months ended September 30, 2009 were $5.8 million versus $8.4 million for same period a year ago.
Net sales to customers in the U.S. during the three months ended September 30, 2009 totaled $1.5 million, as compared to net sales of $2.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2008. Sales of Urgent PC of $960,000 declined from $2.0 million in the year-ago quarter. The trend in decline of Urgent PC sales over corresponding year-ago periods began in the second half of fiscal 2009 due to reimbursement related issues. Partially offsetting this decline was an increase in Macroplastique product sales to $528,000 from $254,000 in the year-ago quarter. Sales of Macroplastique have steadily increased because of increased sales and marketing focus. Net sales of Macroplastique to customers in the U.S. for the first half of fiscal 2010 totaled $949,000 versus $441,000 for the first six months of fiscal 2009.
Sales to customers outside of the U.S. for the three months ended September 30, 2009 were $1.5 million, down from $1.7 million in the year-ago period. Excluding the translation impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, sales decreased by approximately 5%. The second fiscal quarter is normally the weakest of the year for the Company’s international business. The sales decrease as compared to last year is mainly attributed to increased competition from a newly-introduced product competitive with Uroplasty’s Macroplastique.
Sales to customers outside of the U.S. for the first half of fiscal 2010 were $2.8 million as compared to $4.0 million, a decrease of 29%, for the six months ended September 30, 2008. Excluding the translation impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, sales decreased by approximately 20%. Also contributing to the decline in sales is the discontinuation in the current fiscal year in the U.K. of our I-Stop urethral sling product which accounted for approximately $101,000 in sales for the six months ended September 30, 2009 and $191,000 in sales in fiscal 2009.
Net loss for the second fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2009 was $875,000, or $0.06 per diluted share, versus a net loss of $561,000, or $0.04 per diluted share for the second quarter of last year. For the first half of fiscal 2010, the net loss was $2.2 million, or $0.15 per diluted share as compared with a net loss for the first half of fiscal 2009 of $968,000, or $0.06 per diluted share.
At September 30, 2009, cash and cash equivalents, and short-term investments were $5.8 million compared with $6.3 million at June 30, 2009 and $7.8 million as of March 31, 2009.
“Looking ahead, we expect U.S. sales of Macroplastique to continue to grow during the remainder of the fiscal year as we expect to benefit from our increased sales and marketing effort,” continued Mr. Kaysen. “However, we do not expect that we will be able to return to significant sales growth or return to the historic sales level of Urgent PC in the U.S. until a new listed CPT code is assigned and payors create coverage policies that provide adequate reimbursement.
“For the past four quarters we have implemented a comprehensive program designed to educate Medicare carriers and private payer medical directors about the clinical efficacy of Urgent PC. I am pleased with how we have executed this strategy, and we are well ahead of our planned publication and presentation schedule. Phase I OrBIT data, published in September 2009 demonstrated that PTNS had comparable efficacy to the leading anticholinergic drug prescribed for overactive bladder. The data demonstrating sustained symptom improvement at one year from Phase 2 of the OrBIT study has been accepted for publication in the January 2010 edition ofThe Journal of Urology.With SUmiT study results available in spring 2010, we believe these publications, as well as others, will lead the medical directors to reaffirm or reinstate reimbursement, as well as aid us in our CPT Code application. Our
overall goal remains to obtain a unique CPT code that will encourage broader use of Urgent PC. We are confident that we are moving closer toward attaining that goal,” Mr. Kaysen concluded.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures: The following table reconciles our financial results calculated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (GAAP) to non-GAAP financial measures that exclude non-cash charges for share-based compensation, and depreciation and amortization expenses from gross profit, operating expenses and operating loss. The non-GAAP financial measures used by management and disclosed by us are not a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures and consolidated financial results calculated in accordance with GAAP, and you should carefully evaluate our reconciliations to non-GAAP. We may calculate our non-GAAP financial measures differently from similarly titled measures used by other companies. Therefore, our non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to those used by other companies. We have described the reconciliations of each of our non-GAAP financial measures above to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.
We use these non-GAAP financial measures, and in particular non-GAAP operating loss, for internal managerial purposes because we believe such measures are one important indicator of the strength and the performance of our business as they provide a link to operating cash flow. We also believe that analysts and investors use such measures to evaluate the overall operating performance of companies in our industry, including as a means of comparing period-to-period results and as a means of evaluating our results with those of other companies.
Our non-GAAP operating loss of approximately $475,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2009 was greater than the $98,000 operating loss in same period in fiscal 2009. Our non-GAAP operating loss was approximately $1,390,000 for the six months ended September 30, 2009 compared to an operating income of $8,000 in same period fiscal in 2009. We attribute the increased operating loss primarily to the decrease in sales and a lower gross margin rate, offset partially by a decrease in cash operating expenses.
