First Quarter Revenue Increased 8.4% Year-Over-Year to $42.4 million or 9.7% Constant Currency
Global Mobi-C Growth of 28.8% Driven by U.S. Mobi-C Growth of 36.0%
AUSTIN, Texas, May 10, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- LDR Holding Corporation (NASDAQ:LDRH), a global medical device company focused
on designing and commercializing novel and proprietary surgical technologies for the treatment of patients suffering from spine
disorders, today reported its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2016.
First Quarter 2016 Revenue Highlights
- Total revenue in the first quarter of 2016 increased 8.4% to $42.4 million, or 9.7% on a constant currency basis, compared to
$39.1 million in the first quarter of 2015.
- Revenue from Mobi-C® in the first quarter of 2016 grew 28.8% to $17.3 million, or 29.7% on a constant currency
basis, compared to $13.4 million in the first quarter of 2015.
- Revenue from Mobi-C in the United States grew 36.0% in the first quarter of 2016 to $15.1 million, compared to $11.1 million
in the first quarter of 2015.
- Revenue in the United States increased 8.3% to $33.9 million in the first quarter of 2016, compared to $31.3 million in the
first quarter of 2015, and represented 80.0% of total revenue.
- International revenue increased 8.8% during the first quarter of 2016 to $8.5 million, or 15.4% on a constant currency basis,
compared to $7.8 million in the first quarter of 2015.
Revenue from the Company's MIVo™ products in the first quarter decreased 2.5%, or 1.4% on a constant currency basis, to $21.9
million, compared with $22.5 million in the first quarter of 2015.
Christophe Lavigne, President and Chief Executive Officer of LDR, commented, “Consistent with our plan, sales of Mobi-C
continued to grow in the first quarter of 2016, with worldwide Mobi-C revenue representing 40.7% of our total revenue compared to
34.3% of our total revenue in the first quarter of 2015. Our market penetration of the U.S. cervical spine segment continued to
expand with U.S. Mobi-C revenue growing at 36% year over year. This is the result of our focus and growing momentum in
capturing market share from the estimated $1.2 billion U.S. cervical fusion market. For our MIVo products, we made further progress
on the clinical evaluation and development of our pipeline products, including commencing the commercial launch of InterBRIDGE.
With plans to introduce eight new exclusive MIVo products over the next three years, we are committed to investing in this next
innovative growth engine for the Company.”
Gross profit for the first quarter of 2016 was $35.2 million and gross margin was 83.0%, compared to gross profit of $32.7
million and gross margin of 83.5% for the first quarter of 2015.
Net loss for the first quarter of 2016 was $7.6 million, or $0.26 per share, compared to a net loss of $3.2 million, or $0.12
per share, for the first quarter of 2015.
Adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter of 2016 was $(4.8) million compared to adjusted EBITDA of $(1.4) million for the first
quarter of 2015.
Mr. Lavigne added, “During the quarter, four key papers related to our unique technologies were published. Specifically, the
publication of the five-year, safety and efficacy data for Mobi-C compared to cervical fusion for two-levels in the Journal of
Neurosurgery: Spine represents a significant milestone for the Company. As the first published, Level I clinical evidence on
two-level cervical disc outcomes through five years in a peer-reviewed journal, we believe this publication, along with other
recent publications, will be influential to insurance payers in expanding coverage to include two-level cervical disc replacement.
Additionally, the recent positive two-level coverage decision by a major U.S. payer gives us increased confidence in our belief
that further positive coverage decisions are on the horizon.”
Balance Sheet and Liquidity
As of March 31, 2016, LDR had $103.3 million in cash and cash equivalents, $137.7 million in working capital (including
cash and cash equivalents) and $7.0 million in debt.
2016 Guidance
Based on LDR’s results for the quarter ended March 31, 2016, the Company is reaffirming its revenue guidance for the full
year 2016 to be in the range of $187.5 million to $189.5 million, or 14.0% to 15.2% growth on a reported basis. Changes in foreign
exchange rates are expected to negatively impact 2016 reported revenue by approximately 1.0%. This implies revenues, before any
foreign exchange impact, in the range of $189.1 million to $191.1 million for the full year 2016 or 15.0% to 16.2% growth on a
constant currency basis.

About LDR Holding Corporation
LDR Holding Corporation is a global medical device company focused on designing and commercializing novel and proprietary
surgical technologies for the treatment of patients suffering from spine disorders. LDR’s primary products are the
Mobi-C® cervical disc replacement device and MIVo™ portfolio of products which include a range of devices to support
lumbar and cervical fusion procedures. The Mobi-C and MIVo platforms are designed to enable products that are less invasive,
provide greater intra-operative flexibility, offer simplified surgical techniques and promote improved clinical outcomes for
patients as compared to existing alternatives. In August 2013, LDR received approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration
(FDA) for the Mobi-C cervical disc replacement device, the first and only cervical disc replacement device to receive FDA approval
to treat both one-level and two-level cervical disc disease. For more information regarding LDR Holding, visit www.ldr.com.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement LDR’s consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles
(GAAP), LDR uses certain non-GAAP financial measures, such as Adjusted EBITDA and revenue on a constant currency basis, in this
press release and accompanying tables.
Management defines EBITDA as net income (loss) plus interest (income) expense, net, income tax expense and depreciation and
amortization. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA plus stock-based compensation expense and other interest (expense),
net. The Company presents Adjusted EBITDA because management believes it is a useful indicator of operating performance. LDR’s
management uses Adjusted EBITDA principally as a measure of operating performance and believes that Adjusted EBITDA is useful to
investors because it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in their evaluation of the
operating performance of companies in industries similar to LDR. Management also uses Adjusted EBITDA for planning purposes,
including the preparation of the annual operating budget and financial projections.
Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for a measure of the Company’s liquidity or operating
performance prepared in accordance with GAAP and is not indicative of operating income (loss) from operations as determined under
GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA has limitations that should be considered before using this measure to evaluate the Company’s liquidity or
financial performance. Adjusted EBITDA does not include certain expenses that may be necessary to review LDR’s operating results
and liquidity requirements. Management’s definition and calculation of Adjusted EBITDA may differ from that of other companies.
Management calculates revenue on a constant currency basis by using the average foreign exchange rates for each month during the
previous year and applying these rates to foreign-denominated revenue in the corresponding months in the current quarter. The
difference between revenue calculated based on these foreign exchange rates and revenue calculated in accordance with GAAP is
referred to as the foreign exchange impact on revenue. Management uses revenue on a constant currency basis to improve
comparability between periods as though fluctuations from changes in foreign currency did not exist.
Revenue on a constant currency basis should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for revenue prepared in accordance
with GAAP as it is not indicative of revenue as determined under GAAP. Management’s calculation of revenue on a constant currency
basis may differ from that of other companies.
A reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures used in this release to the most comparable U.S. GAAP measures for the
respective periods can be found in a table later in this release immediately following the condensed consolidated statements of
cash flows.
