Thursday May 2, 2013

LAWRENCE, Mass., May 2, 2013 /PRNewswire/ — NxStage&regMedical, Inc. (Nasdaq: NXTM), a leading manufacturer of innovative dialysis products, today reported first quarter financial results with revenue at the upper end of its guidance range.

(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20110503/MM94799LOGO )

Revenue for the first quarter of 2013 increased 8% to $61.6 million, compared with revenue of $57.0 million for the first quarter of 2012. The higher revenues were driven by increased adoption of the NxStage System One™.

Home revenue for the first quarter of 2013 increased 6% to $31.5 million compared with revenue of $29.6 million for the first quarter of 2012. These results, which reflect the Company’s transition to a direct sales operation from a distribution relationship in the United Kingdom, were in-line with the Company’s guidance.

Critical Care revenue increased to $10.7 million for the first quarter of 2013 compared with revenue of $9.8 million for the first quarter of 2012. In-center revenue increased to $18.7 million for the first quarter of 2013 compared with revenue of $17.6 million for the first quarter of 2012.

NxStage reported a net loss of $5.0 million or $(0.08) per share for the first quarter of 2013 compared with a net loss of $5.1 million or $(0.09) per share for the first quarter of 2012. The Company’s first quarter net loss reflects increased investments in new products and market development efforts to accelerate future revenue growth.

Our first quarter performance represents a good start to the year, stated Jeffrey H. Burbank, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of NxStage. In addition to meeting our near-term financial objectives, we’re on track with strong and systematic execution against initiatives that are focused on accelerating growth over the long term. Our recent regulatory successes which include approval for a number of significant product innovations, including CE mark for nocturnal home dialysis and both CE mark and FDA clearance for our new high flow capabilities with our System One, reinforce our confidence in our ability to reduce barriers to home adoption and drive demand for our therapy.

Burbank continued, Based on our outlook and our continuing progress in key areas, we are reaffirming both our guidance for 2013, and our belief that we are creating significant catalysts for adoption of NxStage therapies in 2014 and beyond.

Guidance:

For the second quarter of 2013, the Company is forecasting revenues to be between $64.0 million and $65.5 million, a net loss in the range of $4.0 million to $5.0 million, or $(0.07) to $(0.08) per share. The Company reaffirmed its full year guidance for 2013.

Non-GAAP Financial Measure

The Company discloses a certain non-GAAP financial measure to supplement the Company’s consolidated financial statements presented on a GAAP basis. This non-GAAP measure is not in accordance with, or an alternative for, generally accepted accounting principles in the United States and may be different from similar non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. The non-GAAP financial measure disclosed by the Company is not meant to be considered superior to or a substitute for results of operations prepared in accordance with GAAP. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA (EBITDA adjusted for stock based-compensation, deferred revenue recognized, manufacturing transition costs and other non-cash expenses) to understand operational cash usage. The Company believes the non-GAAP financial measure provides useful and supplementary information allowing investors greater transparency to one measure used by management. The non-GAAP financial measure is meant to supplement, and to be viewed in conjunction with, GAAP financial measures. The non-GAAP financial measure is reconciled to the most comparable GAAP financial measure below.
