OXFORD, United Kingdom and MARLBOROUGH, Mass., Oct. 31, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --
Oxford Immunotec Global PLC (Nasdaq:OXFD), a global, high-growth diagnostics
company focused on developing and commercializing proprietary tests for the
management of underserved immune-regulated conditions, today announced third
quarter 2017 financial results.

"We are pleased to report another strong quarter, with solid growth across both

Chief Executive Officer of Oxford Immunotec. "As we move forward through the
remainder of the year and into 2018, we will continue to focus on driving

(1) Changes in revenue include the impact of changes in foreign currency
exchange rates. We use the non-GAAP financial measure "constant currency basis"
in our filings to show changes in our revenue without giving effect to period-
to-period currency fluctuations. We consider the use of a period over period
revenue comparison on a constant currency basis to be helpful to investors, as
it provides a revenue growth measure free of positive or negative volatility due
to currency fluctuations.

Third Quarter 2017 Financial Results

Revenue for the third quarter of 2017 was $30.4 million, representing 17% growth
over third quarter 2016 revenue of $26.1 million. On a constant currency basis,
revenue growth was also 17% versus the prior year period. Tuberculosis revenue
for the third quarter of $24.4 million increased 11% over the prior year period.

2017 third quarter product revenue was $12.0 million, representing a 24%
increase from product revenue of $9.7 million in the third quarter of 2016. The
increase was primarily driven by sales of tick-borne disease kits, as well as
growth in Asia and Europe & ROW. Service revenue for the third quarter of 2017
was $18.4 million, up 12% from 2016 third quarter revenue of $16.4 million. The
increase in service revenue was primarily driven by strong growth in our tick-
borne disease business, as well as tuberculosis volume increases in the United
States.

United States revenue was $18.8 million in the third quarter of 2017,
representing 16% growth over revenue of $16.2 million in the prior year period.
The increase was due to growth in our tuberculosis and tick-borne disease
businesses.

Europe & ROW revenue was $2.2 million in the third quarter of 2017, representing
a 26% increase compared to the third quarter of 2016. On a constant currency
basis, Europe & ROW increased 22% versus the third quarter of 2016. The increase
was primarily due to tuberculosis growth in the UK and continental European
markets, as well as sales of tick-borne disease kits.

Asia revenue was $9.4 million in the third quarter of 2017, representing an
increase of 15% over 2016 third quarter revenue of $8.2 million. On a constant
currency basis, Asia increased 18% versus the third quarter of 2016. The
increase was primarily due to the timing of orders and higher sales in South
Korea.

Gross profit for the third quarter of 2017 was $17.3 million, an increase
of $2.7 million over gross profit of $14.6 million in the same period of 2016.
Gross margin was 56.7%, an increase of 80 basis points from gross margin of
55.9% in the third quarter of 2016. The third quarter gross margin performance
reflects lower royalty expenses due to the June 2017 Statens Serum Institut
settlement, an underlying improvement in TB margins, and favorable mix, offset
by higher volumes in our tick-borne disease business, which carries lower gross
margins, as well as some early infrastructure investments necessary to meet
future growth.

Operating expenses were $32.5 million in the third quarter of 2017, an increase
of $13.6 million compared to $18.9 million in the same period last year. The
increase in operating expenses was largely due to the inclusion of a one-time
non-cash impairment charge of $11.1 million to write-off certain intangible
assets acquired in conjunction with the 2016 acquisition of Imugen, as well as
expenses related to our BLA submissions and ongoing patent litigation. In the
third quarter, we also recorded a credit of $880,000 related to the change in
fair value of contingent consideration associated with the acquisition of
Immunetics.

Net loss for the third quarter of 2017 was $16.9 million, or $0.70 per share,
compared to $4.0 million, or $0.18 per share, in the third quarter of 2016. Net
loss per share was based on 24,123,574 and 22,365,349 weighted average ordinary
shares outstanding for the third quarters of 2017 and 2016, respectively.

EBITDA for the third quarter was $(14.7) million compared to $(3.0) million in
the third quarter of 2016. Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter of 2017
was $(2.5) million compared to $(2.2) million in the same period in 2016. Both
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP measures.

Business Outlook

We expect to report revenue of between $25.4 and $26.4 million for the fourth
quarter of 2017.

We now expect to report full year 2017 revenue of between $103.5 and $104.5
million, representing 20% - 21% year-over-year growth. We expect revenue to
increase approximately 21% to 22% for the year using constant exchange rates.
This compares to prior revenue guidance of between $103 and $106 million.

(1) EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP measures that we calculate as net
loss, adjusted for the impact of earnings or charges resulting from matters that
we consider not to be indicative of our ongoing operations. We believe that
these measures provide useful information to investors in understanding and
evaluating our operating results in the same manner as our management and Board
of Directors. Our presentation of these measures is not made in accordance with
U.S. GAAP, and our computation of these measures may vary from others in the
industry. Our use of these measures has limitations as an analytical tool, and
you should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our
results as reported under U.S. GAAP.

The above table presents a reconciliation of net loss, the most comparable U.S.
GAAP measure, to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA for each of the periods indicated.
