  • The Company has an order backlog for robotic systems and catheters, which are expected to be shipped and recognized as revenue in the first quarter of 2015. Backlog is defined as outstanding orders that the Company’s management believe will result in recognition of revenue in the future.

Recent Business Highlights:

  • A study conducted at Sierra Medical Center in El Paso, Texas found that the use of the Magellan system reduces radiation to operators by over 80% in Transarterial Chemoembolization (TACE) procedures.

  • The Company announced completion of the first clinical procedure with the Magellan system in Australia.

  • The Company announced completion of the world’s first intravascular robot-assisted retrieval of an Inferior Vena Cava (IVC) filter using the Magellan system.

  • The Company announced the completion of the first robotic prostatic artery embolization (PAE) in the United States. Dr. Sandeep Bagla, interventional radiologist, performed the procedure at Inova Alexandria Hospital in Alexandria, Virginia using the Magellan system.

  • Hansen and AB MEDICA s.p.a announced an exclusive distribution agreement for the Magellan and Sensei® systems in Italy.

  • The Company also announced the completion of the first end user hospital installation of a Magellan system in the Middle East, at King Fahd Hospital in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia through its exclusive distribution partner in Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and United Arab Emirates, AFYA Medical Group.

“The Company continues to expand the utility of the Magellan Robotic System in the fourth quarter of 2014,” said Cary Vance, Hansen Medical’s Chief Executive Officer. “I believe 2015 will be a year of growth driven in part by the continuing adoption of robotics for Prostatic Artery Embolization (PAE), Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE) and Transarterial Chemoembolization (TACE). I believe these three markets are prime examples where robotic catheter precision may yield improved patient outcomes. Our objective for 2015 is to continue to expand and grow the utility of our robotic platforms, maintain our leadership position in R&D and continue to reduce our burn rate.”

Fourth Quarter of 2014 Financial Results:
Total revenue for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2014 decreased 10% to $5.0 million, compared to revenue of $5.6 million for the same period in 2013. This is primarily due to robotic systems in backlog as of December 31, 2014. The Company shipped three Magellan systems in the fourth quarter, all of which were recognized as revenue. The Company sold 837 catheters in the fourth quarter, up 40% over the same period in 2013.

Gross profit in the fourth quarter decreased 100% to $2,000, or 0% of sales, compared to $1.1 million, or 20% of sales, for the same period in 2013. The decrease in gross margin in the fourth quarter was due primarily to $0.7 million write-off of a discontinued Lynx catheter product line, and increase in service field costs. We discontinued the catheter product line primarily due to management’s assessment on return of sales and investment for the costs of maintaining regulatory filings and inventory. This was a one-time charge and the Company currently has no plan to discontinue any additional product lines.

Research and development expenses for the fourth quarter were $3.9 million, compared to $3.7 million for same period in 2013. The increase of $0.2 million was primarily due to an increase in expenses associated with clinical trials and development of prototype materials for new product initiatives.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the fourth quarter were $6.8 million, compared to $8.0 million for the same period in 2013. The decrease of $1.2 million was primarily due to a decrease in legal expenses and stock-based compensation expenses, partially offset by an increase in sales and marketing expenses.

Net loss for the fourth quarter was $11.9 million, or $0.09 per share, compared to a net loss of $11.9 million, or $0.12 per share, for the same period in 2013. Weighted average shares outstanding used to compute diluted net loss per share were 133.0 million shares for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2014, compared to 96.8 million shares in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2013.

Our total balances in cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments and restricted cash were $31.9 million as of December 31, 2014, compared to $41.5 million as of September 30, 2014, and $35.3 million as of December 31, 2013.

Fiscal Year 2014 Financial Results
Total revenue for the year ended December 31, 2014 was $19.5 million, an increase of 15% compared to $17.0 million in fiscal year 2013. The Company commercialized 12 systems in 2014 (9 Magellan systems and 3 Sensei systems), compared to 12 systems in 2013 (7 Magellan systems and 5 Sensei systems). The Company sold 3,164 catheters in fiscal year 2014, up 11% compared to 2013.

Gross profit for fiscal year 2014 declined 14% to $3.0 million, or 15% of sales, compared to gross profit of $3.5 million, or 21% of sales in 2013. Gross profit for the year was negatively impacted by a $0.7 million write-off due to a discontinued Lynx catheter product line in the fourth quarter, an increase in stock-based compensation expenses, severance costs and field service costs.

Total operating expenses for 2014 were $49.3 million, compared to operating expenses of $52.4 million in 2013, which included a $4.5 million loss on settlement of litigation. Excluding the $4.5 million settlement loss in 2013, the $1.4 million increase over the prior year was due primarily to: i) a $1.5 million increase in sales and marketing expenses associated with the Company’s development of its global sales organization and increase in marketing activities, ii) a $1.9 million increase in research and development expenses associated with clinical trials and development of prototype materials for new product initiatives, and iii) a $0.6 million increase in costs associated with executive transition, partially offset by iv) a $2.6 million decrease in legal costs associated with litigation, patent and financing-related matters.

The Company reported a net loss of $54.2 million, or $0.46 per share, in fiscal year 2014, compared to a net loss of $55.7 million, or $0.70 per share in 2013. Fiscal year 2014 results included $2.8 million of non-cash stock compensation expense and a loss of $2.9 million related to a warrant exchange. Fiscal year 2013 results included $4.9 million of non-cash stock compensation expense, a settlement loss of $4.5 million and a loss of $1.9 million on the extinguishment of debt. Weighted average shares outstanding used to compute diluted net loss per share were 117.2 million for fiscal year 2014 compared to 79.1 million for fiscal year 2013.
