  • US revenue of $34.5 million; 17.8% growth over Q2 2010


Alphatec Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq:ATEC), the parent company of Alphatec Spine, Inc., a medical device company that designs, develops, manufactures and markets products for the surgical treatment of spine disorders, with a focus on treating conditions related to the aging spine, announced today financial results for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2011.

Second Quarter 2011 Performance Highlights

  • Achieved revenue of $50.9 million in the second quarter 2011, which represented growth of 12.0% versus the second quarter 2010, and 2.2% sequential revenue growth over the first quarter 2011.
  • US revenue of $34.5 million reported for the second quarter 2011 represented 17.8% growth over second quarter 2010, driven by strength of our core products and increase in purchase orders from hospitals for Alphatec Spine products.  
  • International revenue of $16.3 million reported in the second quarter 2011 up 1.3% versus the $16.1 million reported for the second quarter 2010.
  • Cash flow was break-even in the second quarter 2011, reflecting strong revenue growth, working capital management and operating expense control.  
  • Received PMDA regulatory approval of Illico® in Japan, a market that has strong demand for minimally invasive surgical approaches.
  • We believe Alphatec Spine now holds the fourth largest market share position in Japan.
  • Continued Aging Spine market penetration of OsseoFix® and OsseoScrew® in Europe.
  • OsseoFix revenue growth was 32% in the second quarter, with over 2,600 cases having been completed since product launch.
  • OsseoScrew continues to gain momentum and is driving pull-through of other key Alphatec Spine products.    – Resubmitted the 510k application for OsseoScrew to the FDA in the second quarter, as planned.
  • Continued uptake and demand for PureGenTM, the Company's Osteoprogenitor Cell Allograft, with over 500 cases completed since product launch, with no reported adverse events, complications or complaints.  
  • Implemented a 10% US workforce reduction in order to align US staffing levels with margin and profit goals.

"We are pleased with our 12% global revenue growth, which was driven in large part by our nearly 18% US revenue growth in the second quarter. Each of those growth rates significantly outpaces our competitors, globally and in the US, respectively. The strength of our broad product portfolio continues to convert business, most notably in the US hospital market. Internationally, OsseoFix and OsseoScrew continue to see strong market adoption and product pull-through, and we are particularly pleased with the strength of our results in Japan," stated Dirk Kuyper, Alphatec Spine's President and Chief Executive Officer. 

Mr. Kuyper continued, "While we are pleased to have reported record revenue results and break-even cash flow in the quarter, we have turned our focus to our US gross margin, which we expect to meaningfully improve throughout the remainder of 2011 and 2012. We have initiatives underway that aim to reduce costs, better utilize our in-house manufacturing capacity and improve manufacturing efficiencies. We continue to be laser-focused on driving our differentiated technologies in Aging Spine, MIS and Biologics to gain market share globally."

Consolidated revenues for the second quarter 2011 were $50.9 million, an increase of 12.0% from the $45.4 million reported for the second quarter 2010. US revenues for the second quarter 2011 were $34.5 million, an increase of 17.8% from the $29.3 million reported for the second quarter 2010. International revenues were $16.3 million for the second quarter 2011, up 1.3% versus the $16.1 million reported in the second quarter 2010.

Gross profit for the second quarter 2011 was $29.9 million, an increase of $1.1 million over the second quarter 2010 gross profit of $28.8 million. Second quarter 2011 gross margin of 58.7% was below the second quarter 2010 gross margin of 63.5%. Second quarter 2011 cost of goods sold includes $2.7 million in inventory write-downs. Excluding these write-downs, gross profit was $32.6 million and gross margin was 64.0% for the second quarter 2011. International gross margin increased modestly to 50.1% versus the 49.0% international gross margin reported in second quarter 2010.

Adjusted EBITDA was $2.7 million in the second quarter 2011, a decrease of $1.1 million compared to the $3.8 million reported for the second quarter 2010.

Net loss for the second quarter 2011 was $3.0 million, or ($0.03) per share (basic and diluted), compared with a net loss of $3.0 million, or ($0.04) per share (basic and diluted) for the second quarter 2010.

Non-GAAP Information

Non-GAAP earnings included in this press release is a non-GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles) financial measure that represents net income (loss) excluding the effects of in-process research and development expenses, transaction-related expenses and litigation settlement expenses. Management does not consider these expenses when it makes certain evaluations of the operations of the Company. Non-GAAP earnings, as defined above, may not be similar to non-GAAP earnings measures used by other companies and is not a measurement under GAAP.

Adjusted EBITDA included in this press release is a non-GAAP financial measure that represents net income (loss) excluding the effects of interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation expenses, and other non-recurring income or expense items, such as in-process research and development expense and transaction-related expenses. Adjusted EBITDA, as defined above, may not be similar to adjusted EBITDA measures used by other companies and is not a measurement under GAAP.

Though management finds non-GAAP-based earnings or loss and EBITDA useful for evaluating aspects of the Company's business, its reliance on these measures is limited because excluded items often have a material effect on the Company's earnings and earnings per common share calculated in accordance with GAAP. Therefore, management uses non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA in conjunction with GAAP earnings and earnings per common share measures. The Company believes that non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA provides investors with an additional tool for evaluating the Company's core performance, which management uses in its own evaluation of continuing operating performance, and a base-line for assessing the future earnings potential of the Company. While the GAAP results are more complete, the Company prefers to allow investors to have supplemental metrics since, with reconciliation to GAAP, they may provide greater insight into the Company's financial results.

Forward Looking Statements

This press release may contain "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 that involve risks and uncertainty. Such statements are based on management's current expectations and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements. Alphatec Spine cautions investors that there can be no assurance that actual results or business conditions will not differ materially from those projected or suggested in such forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including, but not limited to, the following: Alphatec Spine's ability to meet its 2011 revenue, adjusted EBITDA, free cash flow and earnings projections, the growth rate of the spine market related to aging and elderly patients, uncertainty of success in developing new products or products currently in Alphatec Spine's pipeline, the successful global launch of the Company's new products and the products in its development pipeline including OsseoFix, OsseoScrew, Illico, and PureGen, failure to achieve acceptance of Alphatec Spine's products by the surgeon community, failure to obtain FDA clearance or approval for new products, or unexpected or prolonged delays in the process, Alphatec Spine's ability to develop and expand its US and/or global revenues, continuation of favorable third party payor reimbursement for procedures performed using Alphatec Spine's products, unanticipated expenses or liabilities or other adverse events affecting cash flow or Alphatec Spine's ability to successfully control its costs or achieve profitability, uncertainty of additional funding, Alphatec Spine's ability to compete with other competing products and with emerging new technologies, product liability exposure, patent infringement claims and claims related to Alphatec Spine's intellectual property. Please refer to the risks detailed from time to time in Alphatec Spine's SEC reports, including quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, reports on Form 8-K and annual reports on Form 10-K.
