Cardiovascular Systems Inc. (CSII)

[TREND1]

The company’s second-quarter revenues increased 38 percent to $44.7 million, from $32.3 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2014. Coronary revenues grew to $6.3 million. Customer reorder revenues remained strong at 95 percent of total revenue, compared to 96 percent a year ago. The gross profit margin increased to 79 percent from 77 percent, benefiting from higher average selling prices of coronary products and lower device unit costs than in the prior-year quarter.

CSI’s fiscal 2015 second-quarter net loss was $(5.3) million, or $(0.17) per common share, compared to a net loss of $(8.7) million, or $(0.32) per common share, in the fiscal 2014 second quarter. Adjusted EBITDA improved to $(1.3) million compared to $(4.6) million a year earlier. Losses narrowed from the prior year as revenue gains exceeded the growth of planned investments, including over $12 million related to the coronary market. Overall, expenses were favorable to guidance, due to lower than expected expenses for sales force expansion and timing of projects. Excluding net coronary investments, adjusted EBITDA was positive for the quarter.
