EXETER, N.H.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Vapotherm, Inc. (NYSE: VAPO), a global medical technology company focused on the development and commercialization of its proprietary Hi-VNI® Technology products that are used to treat patients of all ages suffering from respiratory distress, today announced its financial and operating results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2019.

Third Quarter 2019 Highlights

  • Revenue for the third quarter of 2019 was $10.8 million, a 15.1% increase over the prior year period.
  • Worldwide installed base of Precision Flow units grew by 18.5% compared to the third quarter of 2018.
  • Disposable revenue increased 24.3% compared to the third quarter of 2018.
  • Gross margin was 44.5% compared to 38.5% in the third quarter of 2018.

“Our performance during the third quarter was highlighted by 24% worldwide disposable revenue growth and significant gross margin expansion. Despite generally positive trends in the business, revenue came in below our expectations as a result of lower U.S. capital revenue,” said Joe Army, President and CEO of Vapotherm. “For the remainder of 2019, we are focused on continuing to expand our installed base, driving disposable revenue growth and preparing for the launch of new products.”

Revenue for the third quarter of 2019 was $10.8 million, a 15.1% increase over the third quarter of 2018. Total capital revenue, including both product sales and lease revenue, decreased 7.0% over the third quarter of 2018 primarily as a result of fewer sales and leases of our Precision Flow units and lower average selling prices in the U.S. Total disposable revenue increased 24.3% year over year, primarily driven by an increase in the worldwide installed base of Precision Flow units, increased average selling prices worldwide and, to a lesser extent, higher utilization rates in our International markets. Disposable revenue as a percentage of total revenue for the third quarter of 2019 and 2018 was 72.4% and 67.1%, respectively.

U.S. revenue growth in the third quarter of 2019 was driven by an increase in disposable sales due to a higher installed base of Precision Flow units and higher average selling prices, partially offset by fewer sales and leases of our Precision Flow units and lower average selling prices. International revenue growth in the third quarter was primarily driven by an increase in disposable sales due to a higher installed base of Precision Flow units, higher average selling prices and higher utilization rates and, to a lesser extent, increases in service and other revenue from our U.K. business.

Our total installed base of Precision Flow units at the end of the third quarter of 2019 was 15,813 units, comprised of 11,475 and 4,338 units in the U.S. and International markets, respectively. This represents a 18.5% increase over our installed base at the end of the third quarter of 2018. We sold and leased 316 and 162 Precision Flow units in the U.S. and International markets, respectively, in the third quarter of 2019. In the third quarter of 2019, we sold 56,231 and 22,943 disposables in the U.S. and International markets, respectively.

Gross profit for the third quarter of 2019 was $4.8 million, an increase of $1.2 million over the third quarter of 2018. Gross margin was 44.5% in the third quarter of 2019 compared to 38.5% in the third quarter of 2018. The increase in gross margin was driven by a decrease in disposable component costs in comparison to the third quarter of 2018, reduced overhead rates per unit, a favorable sales mix of disposables and increased average selling prices.

Operating expenses were $16.5 million in the third quarter of 2019, an increase of $4.1 million as compared to $12.3 million in the same period last year. The increase in operating expenses was primarily a result of increased headcount and employee-related expenses, product development costs, legal and consulting fees, public company related expenses and increased investments in sales and marketing initiatives.

Net loss for the third quarter of 2019 was $12.8 million, or $0.65 per share, compared to $9.5 million, or $10.90 per share, in the third quarter of 2018. Net loss per share was based on 19,531,153 and 875,453 weighted average shares outstanding for the third quarter of 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Adjusted EBITDA was ($10.7) million for the third quarter of 2019 as compared to ($8.0) million for the third quarter of 2018. The $2.7 million increase in Adjusted EBITDA loss in the third quarter of 2019 was primarily due to higher operating expenses, partially offset by higher gross profit.

Cash Position

Cash and cash equivalents were $83.5 million as of September 30, 2019 compared to $58.2 million as of December 31, 2018 and $46.1 million as of June 30, 2019. During the quarter, the Company completed a public offering of its common stock, raising net proceeds of $48.3 million.

Fiscal 2019 Outlook

For fiscal 2019, we expect revenue to be between $47.1 million and $47.6 million, which represents a year-over-year increase of 11% to 12%, a decrease from our prior guidance of $49.0 million and $51.0 million due to lower U.S. capital revenue expectations.

In the fourth quarter of 2019, we expect revenue in the range of $12.0 million to $12.5 million, an anticipated year-over-year increase of between 3% to 7%.

For fiscal 2019, we expect gross margin to be in the range of 43% to 44%, an increase from our prior guidance of 42.5% to 43.5%.

For fiscal 2019, we expect operating expenses to be in the range of $68.0 million to $70.0 million.

Website Information

Vapotherm routinely posts important information for investors on the Investor Relations section of its website, http://investors.vapotherm.com/. Vapotherm intends to use this website as a means of disclosing material, non-public information and for complying with Vapotherm’s disclosure obligations under Regulation FD. Accordingly, investors should monitor the Investor Relations section of Vapotherm’s website, in addition to following Vapotherm’s press releases, Securities and Exchange Commission filings, public conference calls, presentations and webcasts. The information contained on, or that may be accessed through, Vapotherm’s website is not incorporated by reference into, and is not a part of, this document.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release includes the non-GAAP financial measure of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, which differ from financial measures calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). EBITDA in this press release represents net loss less interest expense, net and depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA in this release represents EBITDA as adjusted for the impact of foreign currency loss or gain, the change in fair value of warrant liabilities, and stock-based compensation expense. The Company has reconciled these non-GAAP financial measures with the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures in tables accompanying this release.

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 this measure is useful to investors as supplemental information 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, or superior to, net income or 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. It should not be construed to imply 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 contain certain other limitations, including the failure to reflect our capital 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.
