Net Sales Grow by 53% Compared to Year-Ago Period PLYMOUTH, Minn.,
Aug. 2 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- ev3 Inc. (NASDAQ:EVVV), a global
endovascular device company, reported today its financial results
for its fiscal second quarter ended July 3, 2005, the company's
first full quarterly financial report since its initial public
offering. (Logo:
http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20050615/CGEV3LOGO ) ev3's net
sales in the second quarter of 2005 were $31.5 million, an increase
of 53% versus net sales of $20.6 million in the second quarter of
2004, and an increase of 14% compared to net sales of $27.7 million
in the first quarter of 2005. This growth was generated internally
and reflected net sales growth in each of ev3's reportable business
segments and geographic markets. New products and an expansion of
the ev3 world-wide sales and distribution organization were the
important growth drivers. Reported net sales for ev3 include the
consolidated net sales of the company's majority- owned subsidiary,
Micro Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ:MTIX), an endovascular device
company focused on neurovascular disease and disorders. For the six
months ended July 3, 2005, ev3's net sales were $59.2 million, an
increase of 44% compared to net sales in the first six months of
2004. Sales growth in the first half of 2005 also was generated
internally and reflected net sales growth in each of ev3's
reportable business segments and geographic markets. James Corbett,
President and CEO of ev3 Inc. and Chairman of the Board of MTI,
commented, "We are extremely pleased that ev3's second quarter
sales results reflected strength across the company's broad lines
of cardio peripheral and neurovascular products globally, while
also continuing the acceleration in sales growth that commenced in
the fourth quarter of 2004. We welcome our new shareholders who
have joined ev3 as a result of our recent initial public offering,
and we are confident that our strengthened cash position and
balance sheet will support our growth and profitability
objectives." Gross profit for the second quarter of 2005 increased
67% to $18.8 million from $11.2 million for the second quarter of
2004 while the gross margin percent increased to 59.5% from 54.5%.
ev3's improved gross margin percent reflects the benefits of recent
plant consolidations and improving manufacturing yields for new
products. Gross profit includes net sales less cost of goods sold,
exclusive of the amortization of intangible assets. ev3's net loss
attributable to common shareholders for the second quarter of 2005
was $40.9 million or $4.60 per common share, compared to a second
quarter 2004 net loss of $32.8 million or $18.29 per common share.
ev3's net loss attributable to common shareholders for the first
six months of 2005 was $79.7 million or $13.95 per common share,
compared to a net loss of $65.4 million or $37.36 per common share
for the first six months of 2004. Total weighted average shares
outstanding used in the per share calculations were 8,877,898 for
the second quarter of 2005 and 1,795,745 for the second quarter of
2004. ev3's operating expenses for the first six months of 2005
included $0.8 million in expenses related to the company's initial
public offering, in-process research and development charges of
$0.9 million and $1.7 million in stock-based compensation charges.
Corbett continued, "ev3's operating losses continue to be impacted
by the company's investment in broad and innovative product lines
and our significant world-wide sales and marketing infrastructure.
We are committed to leveraging these investments as our revenue
continues to increase." As of July 3, 2005 ev3 had 48,910,654
shares of common stock outstanding, reflecting the company's
initial public offering and conversion of outstanding demand notes
and preferred membership units on June 21, 2005. In addition, on
July 20, 2005, ev3 sold 205,800 shares of common stock pursuant to
the over- allotment option granted to the underwriters in
connection with its initial public offering, increasing the number
of outstanding shares total to 49,116,454. As a result of the
initial public offering and sale of shares pursuant to the
over-allotment option, ev3 received net proceeds totaling $155.5
million, of which $36.5 million was used to retire debt. As of July
3, 2005 ev3 had cash and cash equivalents of $128.4 million and no
long-term debt. Sales Review By segment, ev3's second quarter net
sales of cardio peripheral products were $19.2 million,
representing an increase of 58% versus the year-ago quarter, and
net sales of neurovascular products were $12.3 million,
representing an increase of 47% versus the year-ago quarter. On a
geographic basis, ev3's second quarter United States net sales were
$15.9 million, representing an increase of 56% versus the year-ago
quarter, and second quarter international net sales were $15.6
million, representing an increase of 51% versus the year-ago
quarter. Outlook ev3 expects its sales in the third quarter and
full year 2005 to be in the range of $32 to $35 million and $130 to
$137 million, respectively. ev3 also expects its quarterly
operating losses to be reduced during the second half of 2005 as
compared with its operating losses in the first six months of 2005.
