LEESBURG, Va., May 02, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- K2M Group Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq:KTWO) (the "Company" or "K2M"), a global medical device company focused on designing, developing and commercializing innovative and proprietary complex spine and minimally invasive technologies and techniques, today reported financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2016.

First Quarter 2016 Highlights:
- On January 8, 2016, the Company announced the first surgical case using CASCADIA™ Lateral Interbody System featuring Lamellar 3D Titanium Technology™ following receipt of 510(k) clearance and CE Mark in late 2015. CASCADIA Lateral is K2M's third product to feature Lamellar 3D Titanium Technology. The Company also received FDA 510(k) clearance and a CE Mark for the CASCADIA AN and TL Interbody Systems in 2015.
- On January 21, 2016, the Company announced it received a CE Mark for the RHINE™ Cervical Disc System, allowing for sale and distribution of the product within Europe and other countries. The RHINE Cervical Disc is the Company's next-generation cervical artificial disc replacement featuring proprietary technology.
- On April 6, 2016, the Company announced 510(k) clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for expanded indications of its MESA® Mini Spinal System and DENALI® Mini Spinal System. The MESA Mini and DENALI Mini Spinal Systems function as adjuncts to fusion, providing stabilization of the posterior cervical and thoracic spine. Both systems were previously cleared for use in the posterior thoracic spine, from T1-T3. The new clearance now allows for the systems to be used in the posterior cervical spine, from C1-C7, in addition to the thoracic spine.
“We are pleased with the solid start to fiscal 2016, particularly with the strong 20% sales growth in our U.S. business which was fueled by the significant product innovation we introduced in 2015,” said President and Chief Executive Officer, Eric Major. “Our focus on innovation will continue as we execute toward our goal of obtaining regulatory clearance for five to eight strategically or commercially significant products and product line extensions again this year. Importantly, this commitment to innovation remains the foundation of the future growth of our Company and gives us confidence in our ability to continue to gain market share. Our business remains fundamentally strong and we are well positioned to drive leading full-year revenue growth in the U.S.”
Mr. Major continued, “We are updating our fiscal year revenue guidance expectations to reflect recently revised downward forecasts from two of our international distribution partners—one in Australia and one in Japan—which we received in late April. Importantly, our expectations for full-year high-teens growth in the United States and mid-single digit growth in our international business outside of Australia and Japan in 2016 have not changed; we remain confident in our ability to execute against our plans.”

Total revenue for first quarter 2016 increased $5.9 million, or 11.7%, to $56.3 million, compared to $50.4 million in the first quarter of 2015. Total revenue increased 12.1% year-over-year on a constant currency basis. The increase in revenue was primarily driven by $7.8 million in greater sales volume from new surgeon users in the United States, a $4.4 million increase in the United States resulting from surgeons upgrading to our newer product offerings, partially offset by a decrease in revenue from our existing U.S. customer base and a reduction of international distributor revenue in Australia.
Revenue in the United States increased $7.0 million, or 20.0% year-over-year, to $42.2 million, and international revenue decreased $1.1 million, or 7.5% year-over-year, to $14.1 million. First quarter 2016 international revenue decreased 6.4% year-over-year on a constant-currency basis. Foreign currency exchange impacted first quarter international revenue by approximately $0.2 million, representing approximately 110 basis points of international growth year-over-year.

By procedure category, U.S. revenue in the Company’s Complex Spine, MIS and Degenerative categories represented 37.8%, 16.3% and 45.9% of U.S. revenue, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2016.
Gross profit for first quarter 2016 increased 11.5% to $36.7 million, compared to $32.9 million for first quarter 2015. Gross margin was 65.2% compared to 65.3% last year. Gross profit includes amortization expense on investments in surgical instruments of $3.3 million, or 5.8% of sales, for the three months ended March 31, 2016, compared to $3.0 million, or 5.9% of sales, last year. First quarter of fiscal 2015 cost of goods included charges associated with medical device excise tax of $0.6 million, or 1.2% of total Company sales. The medical device excise tax was suspended by the U.S. for a two-year period beginning in 2016.
Operating expenses for first quarter 2016 increased $3.6 million, or 8.5%, to $46.6 million, compared to $43.0 million for fiscal year 2014. The increase in operating expenses was driven primarily by increased sales and marketing expenses due to the hiring of direct sales employees and an increase in R&D expenses related to development activities in the product pipeline.
Loss from operations for the first quarter of 2016 was $9.9 million, compared to a loss from operations of $10.0 million last year. Loss from operations included intangible amortization of $2.6 million for the first quarters of 2016 and 2015.
Other expense for the first quarter of 2016 decreased $4.0 million to $0.2 million, compared to $4.2 million last year. The decrease in other expense was primarily attributable to a reduction of $4.6 million in unrealized losses from foreign currency remeasurement on intercompany payable balances, offset partially by increased interest expense compared to last year. Foreign currency losses impacted operating results last year due to changes in the average exchange rates of the U.S. Dollar, Pound Sterling and Euro applied to intercompany balances in both periods.
Net loss for the first quarter of 2016 was $10.2 million, or $(0.25) per diluted share, compared to $14.3 million, or $(0.37) per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2015.
As of March 31, 2016, cash and cash equivalents were $21.2 million and line of credit borrowings totaled $5.0 million, compared to cash and cash equivalents of $34.6 million. We had no outstanding indebtedness as of December 31, 2015. Working capital was $95.1 million, compared to working capital of $107.4 million as of December 31, 2015. As of March 31, 2016, the Company had approximately $41.3 million of unused borrowing capacity.
2016 Outlook
The Company is updating its fiscal year 2016 guidance expectations to reflect the impact of disruptions from two international distribution partners - one in Australia and one in Japan.
The Company now expects:
- Total revenue on an as reported basis in the range of $231 million to $235 million, representing growth of 7% to 9% year-over-year, compared to previous expectations of total reported revenue in the range of $246 million to $250 million.
- Total net loss of approximately $45 million to $47 million, compared to a total net loss of $39.4 million in fiscal year 2015.
- Adjusted EBITDA in a range of ($5.0) million to ($7.0) million, compared to Adjusted EBITDA of ($142) thousand in fiscal year 2015.

Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Measures
(Unaudited)
(In Thousands)
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release includes the non-GAAP financial measures of revenue in constant currency, Adjusted Gross Profit, and Adjusted EBITDA.
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 our 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 and medical device excise tax expense. The Company presented 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 as well as the medical device tax. The Company believes that Adjusted Gross Profit is useful to investors because it is frequently used by analysts, investors and other interested parties to evaluate companies in its industry.
Adjusted EBITDA represents net loss plus interest expense, discount on prepayment of notes to stockholders, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense and foreign currency transaction (gain) loss. In 2016, adjusted EBITDA will also include a deduction for cash payments made for rent on the Company's new headquarters and operations facilities under the capital lease agreement.
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 Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors 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 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, 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 contains certain other limitations, including the failure to reflect our 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 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.
The following table presents reconciliations of gross profit to adjusted gross profit and net loss to Adjusted EBITDA for the periods presented.
