MASON, Ohio--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- AtriCure (Nasdaq: ATRC), a leading innovator in treatments for atrial fibrillation (Afib) and left atrial appendage (LAA) management, today announced third quarter 2017 financial results.
“Our third quarter was marked by several accomplishments, and our revenue results reflect mixed performance across our business and meaningful weather related disruption. That said, we feel this is a relatively transient issue, and our bottom line was better than expected,” said Mike Carrel, President and Chief Executive Officer of AtriCure. “Additionally, we made great progress in our clinical programs and new product introductions for the minimally invasive markets, including the roll-out of AtriClip ProV and significant enrollment in CONVERGE, that will enable us to continue to expand our reach and positively impact patient outcomes worldwide.”
Third Quarter 2017 Financial Results
Revenue for the third quarter of 2017 was $42.2 million, an increase of $3.8 million or 9.9% (9.3% on a constant currency basis), compared to third quarter 2016 revenue. U.S. revenue increased 9.2% to $33.4 million, driven by increased sales of ablation-related open-heart products, ablation-related minimally invasive products and AtriClip® products. International revenue was $8.8 million, an increase of $1.0 million or 12.8% (9.5% on a constant currency basis), compared to third quarter 2016 revenue.
Gross profit for the third quarter of 2017 was $30.9 million compared to $27.5 million for the third quarter of 2016. Gross margin for the third quarter of 2017 increased to 73.4% compared to 71.7% in the third quarter of 2016.
Operating expenses for the third quarter of 2017 increased 11.9%, or $4.0 million, compared to the third quarter of 2016. The increase in operating expenses was driven primarily by an increase in selling and training related expenses.
Loss from operations for the third quarter of 2017 was $6.8 million, compared to $6.3 million for the third quarter of 2016. Net loss per share was $0.22 for the third quarter of 2017 and $0.21 for the third quarter of 2016.
Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, was a loss of $1.0 million for the third quarters of both 2017 and 2016 (see reconciliation of GAAP results to non-GAAP results in the table accompanying this release).
Updated 2017 Financial Guidance
Management projects 2017 revenue growth of approximately 11% to 13% over full year 2016 at current exchange rates, a range of $172 million to $175 million, which is $43.5 million to $46.5 million for the fourth quarter.
Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, is projected to be a loss in the range of $4 million to $6 million. Net loss per share is projected to be in the range of $0.94 to $1.04. The Company continues to expect positive adjusted EBITDA for full year 2018.

Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains “forward-looking statements”– that is, statements related to future events that by their nature address matters that are uncertain. For details on the uncertainties that may cause our actual results to be materially different than those expressed in our forward-looking statements, visit http://www.atricure.com/fls as well as our Annual Reports on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q which contain risk factors. We do not undertake to update our forward-looking statements. This document also includes forward-looking projected financial information that is based on current estimates and forecasts. Actual results could differ materially.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement AtriCure’s condensed consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP, AtriCure uses certain non-GAAP financial measures in this release as supplemental financial metrics.
Revenue reported on a constant currency basis is a non-GAAP measure and is calculated by applying previous period foreign currency exchange rates to each of the comparable periods. Management analyzes revenue on a constant currency basis to better measure the comparability of results between periods. Because changes in foreign currency exchange rates have a non-operating impact on revenue, the Company believes that evaluating growth in revenue on a constant currency basis provides an additional and meaningful assessment of revenue to both management and the company’s investors.
Adjusted EBITDA provides an indication of performance excluding certain items. Management believes that in order to properly understand short-term and long-term financial trends, investors may wish to consider the impact of these excluded items in addition to GAAP measures. The excluded items vary in frequency and/or impact on our continuing operations and management believes that the excluded items are typically not reflective of our ongoing core business operations. Further, management uses adjusted EBITDA for its strategic planning. A reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA reported in this release to the most comparable GAAP measure for the respective periods can be found in a table later in this release.
The non-GAAP financial measures used by AtriCure may not be the same or calculated the same as those used by other companies. Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for AtriCure’s financial results prepared and reported in accordance with GAAP.
