(firmenpresse) - SAN DIEGO, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 04/30/12 -- NuVasive, Inc. (NASDAQ: NUVA)
NuVasive, Inc. (NASDAQ: NUVA), a medical device company focused on developing minimally disruptive surgical products and procedures for the spine, announced today financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2012.
Alex Lukianov, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said, "Our financial performance in the first quarter of 2012 attests to excellent execution of our market-share taking strategy, and gives us increased confidence in our ability to achieve our full year revenue and profitability guidance. As we focus on execution toward our 2012 objectives, we are also making the necessary investments into NuVasive's differentiation and share taking strategy. Our commitment to maintain NuVasive's innovative prowess, to drive superior clinical outcomes, and to nurture our Absolute Responsiveness culture are the drivers of our success to date and will carry us beyond $1 billion in revenue. Looking forward, we expect our top line to grow in conjunction with an improving profitability profile and continual improvements in free cash flow. We are laying the groundwork today to become the #3 spine company in the world."
NuVasive reported first quarter 2012 revenue of $151.7 million, a 21.9% increase over the $124.5 million for the first quarter 2011 and a 1.0% increase over the $150.2 million reported for the fourth quarter 2011.
Gross profit for the first quarter 2012 was $114.8 million and gross margin was 75.7%, compared to a gross profit of $100.9 million and a gross margin of 81.1% for the first quarter 2011. For the fourth quarter 2011, gross profit was $113.1 million and gross margin was 75.3%.
Total operating expenses for the first quarter 2012 were $107.5 million compared to $96.3 million in the first quarter 2011 and $122.9 million in the fourth quarter 2011. The higher operating expenses in the first quarter 2012 compared to the prior year resulted primarily from additional costs associated with higher revenue and infrastructure expansion.
On a GAAP basis, the Company reported net income of $673 thousand, or $0.02 per share, for the first quarter 2012.
On a Non-GAAP basis, the Company reported net income of $8.8 million, or $0.20 per share, for the first quarter 2012. The Non-GAAP earnings per share calculations for the first quarter exclude, (i) non-cash stock-based compensation of $6.6 million; (ii) certain intellectual property litigation expenses of $524 thousand; (iii) amortization of intangible assets of $2.8 million; (iv) acquisition related items of $448 thousand; and (v) non-cash interest expense on convertible notes of $3.1 million.
Cash, cash equivalents and short and long-term marketable securities were $363.6 million at March 31, 2012.
2012 Full Year Financial Guidance
Remains unchanged and when compared to 2011 financial results, reflects the full year impacts of convertible note activity, the Impulse Monitoring business, an accrual for estimated patent litigation royalties, and a tax expense rate in comparison to a tax benefit rate.
Revenue of approximately $615 million
GAAP EPS of approximately $0.09
Non-GAAP EPS of approximately $0.93
Non-GAAP Operating Margin of approximately 14%
GAAP effective tax expense rate of approximately 60%
Non-GAAP effective tax expense rate of approximately 40%
Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Information
Management uses certain Non-GAAP financial measures such as Non-GAAP operating margin and Non-GAAP earnings per share, which exclude such items as non-cash stock-based compensation, certain intellectual property litigation expenses, amortization of intangible assets, acquisition related items, and non-cash interest expense on convertible notes. Management does not consider these costs in evaluating the continuing operations of the Company. Therefore, management calculates the Non-GAAP financial measures provided in this earnings release excluding these costs and uses these Non-GAAP financial measures to enable it to analyze further, and more consistently, the period-to-period financial performance of its core business operations. Management believes that providing investors with these Non-GAAP measures gives them additional important information to enable them to assess, in the same way management assesses, the Company's current and future continuing operations. These Non-GAAP measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative for, GAAP, and may be different from Non-GAAP measures used by other companies. Set forth below are reconciliations of the Non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measure.

About NuVasive
NuVasive is a medical device company focused on developing minimally disruptive surgical products and procedurally integrated solutions for the spine. The Company is the 5th largest player in the $7.6 billion global spine market.
NuVasive's principal product offering is based on its Maximum Access Surgery, or MAS® platform. The MAS platform combines several categories of solutions that collectively minimize soft tissue disruption during spine surgery with maximum visualization and safe, easy reproducibility for the surgeon: a proprietary software-driven nerve avoidance system and intra-operative monitoring support; MaXcess®, a unique split-blade retractor system; a wide variety of specialized implants; and several biologic fusion enhancers. MAS significantly reduces surgery time and returns patients to activities of daily living much faster than conventional approaches. Having redefined spine surgery with the MAS platform's lateral approach, known as eXtreme Lateral Interbody Fusion, or XLIF®, NuVasive has built an entire spine franchise. With over 70 products today spanning lumbar, thoracic and cervical applications, the Company will continue to expand and evolve its offering predicated on its R&D focus and dedication to outstanding service levels supported by a culture of Absolute Responsiveness®.
