Second Quarter Product Introductions and Strategic Highlights:

  • On April 27, 2018, the Company executed an exclusive agency and services agreement to replace its then-existing exclusive distribution agreement with its partner in Spain and Portugal, Medcomtech, S.A., whereby K2M and Medcomtech extended their partnership through 2024.  Pursuant to the agreement, K2M acquired Medcomtech’s spine customer contracts and relationships as well as its K2M product inventory and instrumentation in exchange for certain outstanding receivables from Medcomtech.
  • On April 30, 2018, the Company announced that it hosted more than 100 international spine surgeons from 10 countries for its annual Meeting of Minds™ in Chicago, IL, from April 20-21, 2018. Meeting of Minds, which is the largest of K2M’s comprehensive medical education programs, offers interactive discussions and case presentations on the latest issues in spine surgery, including the latest in cervical deformity correction.
  • On May 16, 2018, the Company announced the U.S. commercial launch of its MOJAVE™ PL 3D Expandable Interbody System. Designed with K2M’s Lamellar 3D Titanium Technology™, MOJAVE PL 3D incorporates a porous structure in conjunction with rough surfaces, with the goal of allowing for bony integration throughout its endplates. K2M was the first leading spine company to market a 3D-printed titanium interbody device and offers the most comprehensive portfolio of 3D-printed spinal devices on the market.
  • On May 30, 2018, the Company announced U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) 510(k) clearance for BACS® Patient-Specific devices. With the BACS Surgical Planner, surgeons can create pre-contoured rods, rails, and templates that match the surgeon’s preoperative plan. This is K2M’s fifth module within the BACS platform, and its first clearance for patient-specific devices.
  • On June 7, 2018, the Company surpassed its 100th product milestone with the announcement of FDA 510(k) clearance and commercial launch of its OZARK™ Cervical Plate Systems, which are designed for anterior screw fixation to the cervical spine (C2-T1) in patients with degenerative disease, deformity, tumor, or trauma. This milestone highlights the depth and breadth of K2M’s 3D spinal balance portfolio, its cervical solutions offering, and strengthens the Company’s commitment to improving surgical outcomes for people living with spinal disease.
  • On June 14, 2018, the Company announced the pricing of a private offering of $75.0 million aggregate principal amount of 3.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2025.

“Our second quarter total revenue growth of approximately 12% year-over-year reflects strong trends in both the U.S. and international markets, and we have increased our fiscal year 2018 revenue guidance expectations accordingly," said Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer, Eric Major. "Summer deformity season is off to a strong start and, similar to Q1, our revenue growth in the U.S. this quarter was fueled in part by our multiple new product launches and the expansion of our distribution network in 2017 and 2018.”

Mr. Major continued: “We delivered 7.5% growth in the United States over the first six months of 2018, driven by solid execution against our strategic goal of increasing market share by introducing new and innovative spinal implant solutions like our first-of-its-kind MOJAVE PL 3D Expandable Interbody System featuring Lamellar 3D Titanium Technology and our YUKON OCT Spinal System that can be used with the PALO ALTO Cervical Static Corpectomy Cage System.  Building on the early commercial traction from recent new product introductions, we announced two important U.S. regulatory clearances this quarter, our BACS Patient-Specific devices and our OZARK Cervical Plate Systems, as we continue to enhance the foundation of growth in the future. To that end, we remain confident in our ability to drive above-market growth in the U.S., fueled by our continued focus on leading the spine surgery market by introducing new and innovative spinal implant solutions to help surgeons care for patients around the world who suffer from debilitating spinal pathologies.”

Gross profit for the second quarter of 2018 increased 11.1% to $48.0 million, compared to $43.2 million for the second quarter of 2017.  Gross margin was 65.2% for the second quarter of 2018, compared to 65.7% for the prior year period, primarily due to lower overall average selling prices during the quarter. Gross profit includes amortization expense on investments in surgical instruments of $4.1 million, or 5.5% of sales, for the three months ended June 30, 2018, compared to $3.6 million, or 5.5% of sales, for the comparable period last year.

Operating expenses for the second quarter of 2018 increased $7.1 million, or 13.7%, to $58.4 million, compared to $51.3 million for the second quarter of 2017.

Loss from operations for the second quarter of 2018 increased $2.2 million to $10.4 million, compared to a loss from operations of $8.2 million for the second quarter last year.

Total other expense, net for the second quarter of 2018 increased $2.1 million to $3.0 million, compared to $0.9 million last year.

The Company presents these non-GAAP measures because it believes these measures are useful indicators of the Company’s operating performance.  Management uses these non-GAAP measures principally as a measure of the Company's operating performance and believes that these measures are useful to investors because they are frequently used by analysts, investors and other interested parties to evaluate companies in the Company’s industry.  The Company also believes that these measures are useful to its management and investors as a measure of comparative operating performance from period to period.

Constant currency information compares results between periods as if exchange rates had remained constant period-to-period.  We calculate constant currency by converting the prior-year results using current-year foreign currency exchange rates.

Adjusted Gross Profit represents Gross Profit less amortization expense of surgical instruments.  The Company presents Adjusted Gross Profit because it believes it is a useful measure of the Company's gross profit and operating performance because the measure is not burdened by the timing impact of instrument purchases and related amortization. 

Adjusted EBITDA represents net loss plus interest expense, income tax (benefit) expense, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense, transaction expenses associated with our Spanish business combination and foreign currency transaction (gain) loss.

The Company presents Adjusted EBITDA because it believes it is a useful indicator of the Company’s operating performance.  Management uses Adjusted EBITDA 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. 

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure and should not be considered as an alternative to net 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 and it should not be construed as an inference that the Company’s future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items.  In addition, Adjusted EBITDA 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 contains certain other limitations, including the failure to reflect the Company’s cash 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 the Company’s future results will be unaffected by any such adjustments.  Management compensates for these limitations by primarily relying on its GAAP results in addition to using Adjusted EBITDA supplementally.  The Company’s definition of Adjusted EBITDA is not necessarily comparable to other similarly titled captions of other companies due to different methods of calculation.

The following table presents reconciliations of gross profit to adjusted gross profit and net loss to Adjusted EBITDA for the periods presented.
