UROPLASTY REPORTS FISCAL FIRST QUARTER 2013
FINANCIAL RESULTS
~Sales of Urgent® PC in the U.S. up 64% to $2.5 Million in the Fiscal First Quarter~
~Sequential Growth of Active Customers and Lead Set Boxes for Urgent PC in the U.S.~
~Conference call today at 4:30 p.m. ET~
MINNEAPOLIS, MN, July 26, 2012 – Uroplasty, Inc. (NASDAQ: UPI), a medical device company that develops, manufactures and markets innovative proprietary products to treat voiding dysfunctions, today reported financial results for the first quarter of fiscal 2013 ended June 30, 2012.
Global sales grew 20% to $5.6 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2013, compared with $4.7 million in the fiscal first quarter a year ago. Sales in the U.S. increased 40%, driven by a 64% increase in sales of the Urgent® PC Neuromodulation System. U.S. sales of Macroplastique were up 16% from the prior year.
Sales and other key metrics related to Urgent PC in the U.S. continued to demonstrate sequential quarterly progress in the fiscal first quarter of 2013. Sales in the first quarter totaled $2.5 million, 9% over $2.3 million in sales in the fiscal fourth quarter of 2012. The number of active customers of Urgent PC in the U.S increased sequentially to 577 in the first quarter compared with 538 in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012. The Company sold 3,283 lead set boxes in the fiscal first quarter compared with 3,023 in the fiscal fourth quarter of 2012. Utilization in the fiscal first quarter increased to 5.7 lead set boxes per active customer compared with 5.6 in the fourth quarter.
“These first quarter results are a positive start to our new fiscal year, demonstrating solid traction on all of the key metrics for our U.S. Urgent PC operation,” said David Kaysen, President and CEO of Uroplasty. “Execution of our strategy to bring on new physician customers and expand utilization within our existing accounts is going well. Since the administrative process for submitting Medicare claims in Florida was streamlined last quarter, we have seen growth in customers and sales in that region. We are aggressively pursuing our opportunities in the Mid-Atlantic region following the decision by Novitas Solutions (formerly Highmark Medicare Services) to provide coverage of percutaneous tibial nerve stimulation (PTNS) effective April 9th. With Novitas, PTNS treatments are covered by 11 of the 13 regional Medicare carriers.”
“We also continue to expand our presence with private insurers. Last week we announced that EmblemHealth, one of the largest private insurance payers in the northeastern U.S., will offer reimbursement for PTNS treatments. EmblemHealth covers approximately 2.8 million lives in New York and New Jersey and we believe this represents a very promising market for Urgent PC. We are currently working to maximize these new opportunities and expect continued growth of Urgent PC in fiscal 2013,” continued Mr. Kaysen.
First Quarter Fiscal 2013 Results
Urgent PC sales in the U.S. were $2.5 million in the fiscal first quarter ended June 30, 2012, compared with $1.5 million in the same quarter last year, an increase of 64%. Macroplastique sales in the U.S. totaled $1.5 million in the recent first quarter compared to $1.3 million in the same quarter last year.
Net sales to customers outside of the U.S. for the fiscal first quarter totaled $1.5 million, a decrease of 14% from $1.8 million in the prior fiscal year’s first quarter. Excluding the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, total sales outside the U.S. were down 6%. Urgent PC sales of $556,000 increased 27% from $437,000 in the prior fiscal year’s first quarter. Excluding the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, Urgent PC sales increased 38%.
The Company reported an operating loss of $1.0 million in the fiscal first quarter, compared with a $1.3 million operating loss in the same quarter last year. Excluding non-cash charges for share-based compensation and depreciation and amortization expense, the non-GAAP operating loss was $561,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2013, compared with a $934,000 non-GAAP operating loss in the first quarter a year ago. The decrease was primarily attributable to the increase in sales, which more than offset the increase in R&D, G&A and selling and marketing expenses.
Cash, cash equivalents and cash investments totaled $15.5 million at June 30, 2012 compared with $16.3 million at March 31, 2012. The Company used $0.7 million of cash for operating activities during the first fiscal quarter of 2013.
“Looking ahead, we are excited about several potential new developments that Uroplasty is pursuing. Our plans for a pilot study in the U.S.to evaluate the efficacy of Urgent PC in the treatment of bowel incontinence are moving forward. We have confirmed two sites and are working on the protocol to begin the study late this summer or early fall. We are also making progress on our efforts to secure a CE Mark in Europe for an implantable tibial nerve stimulator for the treatment of over active bladder. During fiscal 2013 we anticipate steady sales from Macroplastique and continued growth of Urgent PC, which will position us well for future opportunities,” Mr. Kaysen concluded.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures: The following table reconciles our operating loss 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 described 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 and incentive compensation for senior management because we believe such measures are one important indicator of the strength and the operating performance of our business. Analysts and investors frequently ask us for this information. We believe that they use these 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 during the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 was approximately $561,000 and $934,000, respectively. The decrease in non-GAAP operating loss for the three months ended June 30, 2012 over the corresponding period a year ago is attributed to the increase in net sales and gross profit percent, which more than offset the increase in spending, primarily in selling and marketing.
