Vapotherm Reports Second Quarter 2019 Financial Results

EXETER, N.H.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Vapotherm, Inc. (NYSE: VAPO), a global medical technology company focused on the development and commercialization of its proprietary Hi-VNI® Technology products that are used to treat patients of all ages suffering from respiratory distress, today announced its financial and operating results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2019.

Second Quarter 2019 Highlights

  • Revenue for the second quarter of 2019 was $12.0 million, a 13.5% increase over the prior year period
  • Disposable revenue growth for the second quarter of 2019 was 28.9%
  • Gross margin was 45.5% compared to 38.8% in the second quarter of 2018

We are pleased with our performance during the second quarter as strong disposable revenue growth was driven by our expanding capital base and continuing improvement in customer utilization rates. Disposable revenue increased to over 70% of total revenue and, when coupled with disposable cost reductions, resulted in significant gross margin expansion,” said Joe Army, President and CEO of Vapotherm. “In the second half of 2019, we will focus on continuing to drive the adoption of Hi-VNI Technology through the continued expansion of our installed base, the continued focus on disposable revenue growth and the addition of new products.”

Revenue for the second quarter of 2019 was $12.0 million, a 13.5% increase over the second quarter of 2018. Total capital revenue, including both product sales and lease revenue, decreased 20.5% over the second quarter of 2018 primarily as a result of fewer sales and leases of our Precision Flow units in the United States and to a lesser extent in International markets. Total disposable revenue increased 28.9% year over year, primarily driven by an increase in the worldwide installed base of Precision Flow units and utilization. Disposable revenue as a percentage of total revenue for the second quarter of 2019 and 2018 was 71.2% and 62.6%, respectively.

Revenue growth in the U.S. and International markets in the second quarter of 2019 was driven primarily by an increase in disposable sales related to an increase in the installed base of Precision Flow units worldwide and increased utilization partially offset by fewer sales and leases of our Precision Flow units worldwide. We sold and leased 318 and 289 Precision Flow units in the U.S. and International markets, respectively, in the second quarter of 2019, bringing our total installed base of Precision Flow units to 11,107 and 4,166 units in the U.S. and International markets, respectively. In the second quarter of 2019, we sold 62,209 and 25,725 disposables in the U.S. and International markets, respectively.

Gross profit for the second quarter of 2019 was $5.5 million, an increase of $1.4 million over the second quarter of 2018. Gross margin was 45.5% in the second quarter of 2019 compared to 38.8% in the second quarter of 2018. The increase in gross margin was driven by favorable sales mix of disposables as well as a decrease in disposable component costs in comparison to the second quarter of 2018. Additionally, we improved operating efficiency by holding operating overhead constant while increasing throughput in our manufacturing facility to support continued sales growth.

Operating expenses were $17.1 million in the second quarter of 2019, an increase of $3.9 million as compared to $13.2 million in the same period last year. The increase in operating expenses was primarily a result of increased headcount and employee-related expenses, including stock-based compensation, product development costs, legal and consulting fees, public company related expenses and increased investments in sales and marketing initiatives.

Net loss for the second quarter of 2019 was $12.9 million, or $0.76 per share, compared to $11.2 million, or $13.39 per share, in the second quarter of 2018. Net loss per share was based on 17,055,628 and 838,428 weighted average shares outstanding for the second quarter of 2019 and 2018, respectively. The number of shares outstanding as of June 30, 2019 was 17,166,368.

Adjusted EBITDA was ($10.2) million for the second quarter of 2019 as compared to ($8.5) million for the second quarter of 2018. The $1.7 million increase in Adjusted EBITDA loss in the second quarter of 2019 was primarily due to higher operating expenses partially offset by higher gross profit.

Cash Position

Cash and cash equivalents were $46.1 million as of June 30, 2019 compared to $58.2 million as of December 31, 2018 and $56.7 million as of March 31, 2019.

Fiscal 2019 Outlook

For fiscal 2019, we continue to expect revenue in the range of $49.0 million to $51.0 million, an anticipated year-over-year increase of between 16% to 20%.

In the third quarter of 2019, we expect revenue in the range of $11.0 million to $11.4 million, an anticipated year-over-year increase of between 17% to 21%.

For fiscal 2019, we now expect gross margin to be in the range of 42.5% and 43.5%, an increase from prior guidance of 41.5% to 42.0%.

For fiscal 2019, we continue to expect operating expenses to be in the range of $68.0 million to $70.0 million.

Website Information

Vapotherm routinely posts important information for investors on the Investor Relations section of its website, http://investors.vapotherm.com/. Vapotherm intends to use this website as a means of disclosing material, non-public information and for complying with Vapotherm’s disclosure obligations under Regulation FD. Accordingly, investors should monitor the Investor Relations section of Vapotherm’s website, in addition to following Vapotherm’s press releases, Securities and Exchange Commission filings, public conference calls, presentations and webcasts. The information contained on, or that may be accessed through, Vapotherm’s website is not incorporated by reference into, and is not a part of, this document.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release includes the non-GAAP financial measure of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, which differ from financial measures calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). EBITDA in this press release represents net loss less interest expense, net and depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA in this release represents EBITDA as adjusted for the impact of foreign currency loss or gain, loss on extinguishment of debt, the change in fair value of warrant liabilities, and stock-based compensation expense. The Company has reconciled these non-GAAP financial measures with the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures in tables accompanying this release.

Adjusted EBITDA is presented because the Company believes it is a useful indicator of its operating performance. Management uses the measure principally as a measure of the Company’s operating performance and for planning purposes, including the preparation of the Company’s annual operating budget and financial projections. The Company believes this measure is useful to investors as supplemental information because it is frequently used by analysts, investors and other interested parties to evaluate companies in its industry. The Company believes Adjusted EBITDA is useful to its management and investors as a measure of comparative operating performance from period to period.

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure and should not be considered as an alternative to, or superior to, net income or loss as a measure of financial performance or cash flows from operations as a measure of liquidity, or any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP. It should not be construed to imply that the Company’s future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. In addition, the measure is not intended to be a measure of free cash flow for management’s discretionary use, as it does not reflect certain cash requirements such as tax payments, debt service requirements, capital expenditures and certain other cash costs that may recur in the future. Adjusted EBITDA contain certain other limitations, including the failure to reflect our capital expenditures, cash requirements for working capital needs and cash costs to replace assets being depreciated and amortized. In evaluating Adjusted EBITDA, you should be aware that in the future the Company may incur expenses that are the same as or similar to some of the adjustments in this presentation. The Company’s presentation of Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed to imply that its future results will be unaffected by any such adjustments. Management compensates for these limitations by primarily relying on the Company’s GAAP results in addition to using Adjusted EBITDA on a supplemental basis. The Company’s definition of this measure is not necessarily comparable to other similarly titled captions of other companies due to different methods of calculation.
