Management Commentary
“Sales growth of our FORE-SIGHT disposable sensors was strong during the quarter, both in the U.S. and international markets, as we continue to take market share and expand the market for cerebral oximetry,” said Thomas M. Patton, President and Chief Executive Officer of CASMED. “FORE-SIGHT disposable sensors represented 73% of total sales from continuing operations, up from 68% in the prior year, and contributed to a 340-basis-point expansion in gross profit margin compared with the prior year.
“Including FORE-SITE cerebral oximeter shipments during the second quarter, our U.S. net cumulative installed base now exceeds 1,000 monitors. FORE-SIGHT sensors have been used now on more than 300,000 patients, guiding doctors to improve care all over the world, including at nine of the top-20 U.S. adult cardiac hospitals, as ranked by U.S. News and World Report.
“Our outlook is for increasing sales of FORE-SIGHT units in the second half of 2016, and we are affirming our expectation to ship a total of 400 FORE-SIGHT cerebral oximeters this year,” he added. “We also are on track to achieve our 2016 growth objective of FORE-SIGHT sales exceeding 20%.”
Second-Quarter Financial Results
Net sales from continuing operations for the second quarter of 2016 increased 18% to $5.5 million, from $4.7 million in net sales from continuing operations for the second quarter of 2015. FORE-SIGHT oximetry sales increased 15% to $4.5 million, led by an 18% increase in domestic sales. Traditional monitoring product sales increased 29% to $1.1 million. FORE-SIGHT sales accounted for 81% of total sales from continuing operations for the second quarter of 2016.
The operating loss for the second quarter of 2016 was $1.3 million, an improvement of $0.5 million from the second quarter of 2015. Increases in sales from continuing operations and higher gross profit were responsible for the improvement. The gross profit margin was 54.7% for the second quarter of 2016, compared with 51.2% for the prior-year period, primarily due to the sales shift in product mix to FORE-SITE sensors. Operating expenses increased due to the Company’s expansion of its FORE-SIGHT sales force.
Six-Month Financial Results
Net sales from continuing operations for the first six months of 2016 were $11.0 million, an increase of $1.8 million, or 19%, from the first six months of 2015. FORE-SIGHT oximetry sales increased by 22% to $8.8 million and included FORE-SIGHT disposable sensor sales of $7.8 million, an increase of $1.7 million, or 27%, compared with the prior-year period. Sales of traditional monitoring products were $2.2 million for the first half of 2016, an increase of 8% from the first six months of 2015.
The operating loss for the first six months of 2016 was $2.8 million, an improvement of $0.5 million from the operating loss of $3.3 million reported for the first six months of 2015. Increased sales from continuing operations, higher gross profits, and favorable gross profit margins were partially offset by increased operating expenses. Gross profit margins for the first six months of 2016 were 53.8%, up from 50.7% for the prior-year period.
The Company recorded a net loss applicable to common stockholders for the first six months of 2016 of $1.0 million, or $0.04 per common share, compared with a net loss applicable to common stockholders for the first six months of 2015 of $4.2 million, or $0.17 per common share. During the first quarter of 2016, the Company recorded a gain on the sale of its neonatal intensive care disposables product line of $2.9 million.
As of June 30, 2016, cash and cash equivalents were $7.6 million, and $2.1 million in borrowings were available under the Company’s line of credit.
