Total revenues for the first quarter of 2019 were $67.5 million, reflecting growth of 9%, and 11% on a non-GAAP constant currency basis, both compared to the first quarter of 2018. The increase was driven by strong revenue growth from JOTEC, On-X, and BioGlue.

Net loss for the first quarter of 2019 was ($297,000), or ($0.01) per fully diluted common share, compared to a net loss of ($3.9) million, or ($0.11) per fully diluted common share for the first quarter of 2018. Non-GAAP net income for the first quarter of 2019 was $1.5 million, or $0.04 per fully diluted common share, compared to non-GAAP net income of $793,000, or $0.02 per fully diluted common share for the first quarter of 2018.

2019 Financial Outlook
CryoLife is reiterating its full-year financial guidance, with total revenues for 2019 expected to be in the range of $280 million to $284 million and non-GAAP earnings per share expected to be between $0.28 and $0.32.

All numbers are presented on a GAAP basis except where expressly referenced as non-GAAP. The Company does not provide GAAP income per common share on a forward-looking basis because the Company is unable to predict with reasonable certainty business development and acquisition-related expenses, purchase accounting fair value adjustments, and any unusual gains and losses without unreasonable effort. These items are uncertain, depend on various factors, and could be material to results computed in accordance with GAAP.

The Company’s financial guidance for 2019 is subject to the risks identified below.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release contains non-GAAP financial measures. Investors should consider this non-GAAP information in addition to, and not as a substitute for, financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In addition, this non-GAAP financial information may not be the same as similar measures presented by other companies. The Company’s non-GAAP results exclude (as applicable) business development and integration expenses, amortization expense, and inventory basis step-up expense. The Company believes that these non-GAAP presentations provide useful information to investors regarding unusual non-operating transactions, and the operating expense structure of the Company’s existing and recently acquired operations, without regard to its on-going efforts to acquire additional complementary products and businesses and the transaction and integration expenses incurred in connection with recently acquired and divested product lines. The Company believes it is useful to exclude certain expenses because such amounts in any specific period may not directly correlate to the underlying performance of its business operations or can vary significantly between periods as a result of factors such as acquisitions, or non-cash expense related to amortization of previously acquired tangible and intangible assets. The Company does, however, expect to incur similar types of expenses in the future, and this non-GAAP financial information should not be viewed as a statement or indication that these types of expenses will not recur.
