CryoLife, Inc. (NYSE: CRY), a leading medical device and tissue processing company focused on cardiac surgery, announced today its results for the second quarter and first half of 2017.

Pat Mackin, Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer, said, “We had a solid second quarter and exceeded our guidance despite facing certain headwinds in the quarter. On-X, BioGlue and tissue processing all posted revenue growth. This was highlighted by another positive quarter for On-X, particularly in North America where On-X revenue grew 19 percent excluding the OEM business. In tissue processing, we delivered our second consecutive quarter of double-digit growth in cardiac tissue. During the quarter we also initiated the transition to direct sales in Canada, Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg, further expanding our direct operations in Europe. We are on track to achieve our 2017 financial guidance and remain confident our strategy will continue to transform CryoLife into a higher growth, higher margin company.

Revenues for the second quarter of 2017 increased two percent to $47.8 million, compared to $47.1 million for the second quarter of 2016. The increase was primarily driven by increases in tissue processing, BioGlue, On-X and TMR revenues, partially offset by the absence of HeRO revenues. Non-GAAP revenues for the second quarter of 2017 increased four percent compared to the second quarter of 2016. A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial metrics is included as part of this press release.

Revenues for the first half of 2017 increased three percent to $92.9 million, compared to $90.1 million for the first half of 2016. The increase was primarily driven by increases in On-X, tissue processing and BioGlue revenues, partially offset by the absence of HeRO and ProCol revenues, and a decrease in TMR revenues. Non-GAAP revenues for the first half of 2017 increased four percent compared to the first half of 2016. A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial metrics is included as part of this press release.

GAAP net income for the second quarter of 2017 was $3.2 million, or $0.09 per fully diluted common share, compared to net income of $2.3 million, or $0.07 per fully diluted common share, for the second quarter of 2016. Non-GAAP net income for the second quarter of 2017 was $4.0 million, or $0.12 per fully diluted common share, compared to non-GAAP net income of $4.3 million, or $0.13 per fully diluted common share for the second quarter of 2016.

GAAP net income for the first half of 2017 was $5.4 million, or $0.16 per fully diluted common share, compared to net income of $4.9 million, or $0.15 per fully diluted common share, for the first half of 2016. Non-GAAP net income for the first half of 2017 was $7.2 million, or $0.21 per fully diluted common share, compared to non-GAAP net income of $7.6 million, or $0.23 per fully diluted common share for the first half of 2016.

With the exception of the income tax rate, the Company is reiterating its full year 2017 financial guidance, as summarized below, and expects revenues in the third quarter of 2017 to be between $46.5 million and $47.5 million.

All numbers in the table above are GAAP 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 2017 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 revenues include (as applicable) On-X revenues for the period in 2016 prior to the closing of the acquisition and excludes revenues for the HeRO Graft and ProCol product lines for 2016. The Company’s other non-GAAP results exclude (as applicable) business development expenses; gain on sale of business components; amortization expenses; 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 new 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.
