REDWOOD CITY, Calif., Aug. 8 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- FoxHollow Technologies, Inc. , which manufactures and markets minimally invasive devices for the treatment of peripheral artery disease (PAD), today announced results for the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2007.
For the quarter ended June 30, 2007, FoxHollow reported revenues of $50.6 million, a five percent increase over revenues of $48.2 million in the same period a year ago. Revenues for the quarter include $42.5 million in product sales and $8.1 million of research collaboration revenues related to the company’s partnership with Merck & Co. Revenues in the second quarter of 2006 included product sales of $48.0 million and $216,000 from research collaboration activities.
FoxHollow reported net income of $76,000, or $0.00 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2007, compared with net income of $532,000, or $0.02 per diluted share, in the same period a year ago. The results for the second quarter of 2007 include $3.1 million in non-cash, stock-based compensation expense. This compares with stock-based compensation expense of $2.9 million in the same period a year ago.
“We experienced solid gains in U.S. sales of our SilverHawk device compared to the first quarter of the year. Physicians have responded quite positively to our launch of the SilverHawk SXL, an enhanced device that utilizes our proprietary MEC(TM) technology, allowing for increased tissue collection capacity and in turn, reduced procedure time,” said John Simpson, Ph.D., M.D., the company’s founder and chief executive officer.
“We are also excited to have achieved key milestones in our product development programs, which are integral elements of our strategy to grow the company. In the near term, we remain on track for the launch of the EXL device later this year, which is the next smaller SilverHawk in our ‘XL series targeted at below-the-knee applications.” Dr. Simpson noted.
“Last week, we received conditional approval from the FDA of our IDE (Investigational Device Exemption) for our NightHawk Plaque Excision System that combines on-board imaging with our existing plaque excision technology. We have incorporated a number of significant enhancements into this device following our successful European study late last year. We have a number of sites that are completing the IRB process and look forward to initiating patient enrollment in the very near future,” Dr. Simpson added.
The company also said that during the quarter it filed a 510(k) with the FDA for approval of the RockHawk device, which is designed to treat calcified lesions, and expects FDA approval by the end of the year.
For the six months ended June 30, 2007, FoxHollow reported revenues of $99.8 million versus revenues of $94.8 million in the same period a year ago. The company reported a net loss of $637,000 or $0.02 per share, versus a net loss of $14.1 million, or $0.57 per share, in the first six months of 2006. The results for the first six months of 2007 include $6.6 million in non-cash, stock-based compensation expense. This compares with stock-based compensation expense of $17.7 million in the same period a year ago, $11.4 million of which related to the retirement of the company’s former chief executive officer.
