Net loss attributable to NxStage Medical, Inc.'s stockholders improved to $0.2 million for the third quarter of 2016 compared with a net loss of $1.7 million for the third quarter of 2015. The net loss for the third quarter of 2016 was better than its guidance for a net loss of $1 to $3 million and included $6.6 million of income from operations from the Products Business.

"With these solid results and continued positive momentum with our growth drivers, we are raising full-year revenue guidance and cutting our net loss projections in half," stated Jeffrey H. Burbank, Founder and CEO of NxStage. "In addition to feeling good about a solid finish to the year, we remain confident in our outlook for 2017 and beyond that includes targets for increasing the Company's revenue growth and profitability. I believe we have a solid foundation, compelling growth drivers and an amazing technology pipeline."

The Company also announced that it expects to launch the next sequence of features and capabilities of its next generation hemodialysis system this quarter. "We continue to systematically advance one of the industry's most innovative pipelines. We're excited to be moving closer to our goals and bringing these significant advancements in renal care to patients and their care teams," stated Burbank.

About the NxStage System One
The NxStage System One is the first and only truly portable hemodialysis system cleared specifically by the FDA for home hemodialysis and home nocturnal hemodialysis. Its simplicity and revolutionary size (just over a foot tall) are intended to allow convenient use in patients' homes and give patients the freedom to travel with their therapy. When combined with the NxStage PureFlow SL Dialysis Preparation System, patients are able to further simplify, using ordinary tap water to create dialysis fluid on demand. Unlike conventional hemodialysis systems, the System One requires no special infrastructure to operate. Under the guidance of their physician, patients can use the NxStage System One, with their trained partners, where, how and when it best meets their needs, including while they are sleeping - at home or on vacation and at a medically appropriate treatment frequency. In addition, NxStage's Nx2me Connected Health platform collects important NxStage System One and patient information for flexible viewing, monitoring and reporting that may improve patient management and simplify alternative site care. The System One is also used to provide a range of flexible therapy options in more traditional care settings such as hospitals and NxStage Kidney Care dialysis centers. Its safety and efficacy have been demonstrated by experience with more than 13 million treatments with thousands of patients around the world. http://www.nxstage.com/.
