Natus Medical Incorporated (NASDAQ:NTUS) (the “Company” or “Natus”), a leading provider of medical device solutions focused on the diagnosis and treatment of central nervous and sensory system disorders for patients of all ages, today announced financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021.

For the third quarter ended September 30, 2021, the Company reported revenue of $113.9 million, an increase of 10.8% compared to $102.8 million reported for the third quarter of 2020. GAAP gross margin was 59.5% during the third quarter of 2021 compared to 46.2% in the third quarter of 2020. GAAP net income was $5.6 million, or $0.16 earnings per diluted share, compared with GAAP net loss of $9.3 million, or $0.28 loss per share in the third quarter of 2020.

Non-GAAP gross margin was 61.0% in the third quarter of 2021 compared to 56.2% reported for the third quarter of 2020. Non-GAAP earnings per diluted share was $0.28 for the third quarter of 2021, compared to $0.09 in the third quarter of 2020. Non-GAAP net income was $9.3 million in the third quarter of 2021 compared to $3.2 million in the third quarter of 2020.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company reported revenue of $344.8 million, an increase of 16.1% compared to $297.0 million reported for the same period in 2020. GAAP gross margin was 58.2% vs. 50.8% reported for the same period in 2020. GAAP net income was $11.4 million, or $0.34 per diluted share, compared with GAAP net loss of $21.8 million, or $0.65 loss per share in the same period in 2020.

Non-GAAP earnings per diluted share was $0.73 for the first nine months in 2021, compared to $0.00 in the same period in 2020. The Company reported non-GAAP net income of $24.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared to the prior year's non-GAAP net income of $0.1 million. Non-GAAP gross margin was 60.2% in 2021 vs. 56.0% reported for the same period in 2020.

“We are encouraged by the 11% increase in revenue in the third quarter of 2021 compared to the same quarter in 2020 despite recent supply chain constraints. Demand for our products and services continued to improve throughout the quarter,” said Jonathan Kennedy, President and Chief Executive Officer of Natus.

“We saw the benefits of our investments in innovation this quarter with the release of the new Retcam Envision newborn eye imaging system in the United States, the first successfully performed clinical case using Natus’ newly launched XactTrode™ family of platinum subdural electrodes and another quarter of growing sales for our UltraPro EMG device, which was released in the fourth quarter of 2020,” Mr. Kennedy concluded.

Financial Guidance

For the fourth quarter of 2021, the Company's revenue is expected to be between $124.0 million and $128.0 million and non-GAAP earnings per share is expected to be between $0.41 and $0.46.

For the full year of 2021, the Company's updated revenue guidance is expected to be between $468.8 million and $472.8 million and non-GAAP earnings per share is expected to be between $1.13 and $1.18.

Supply chain delays and constraints have impacted our ability to ship products in the last few quarters, and as a result, we have seen backlog for certain products continue to grow. The guidance above reflects further supply chain delays anticipated in the fourth quarter of 2021.

The Company's non-GAAP earnings per share guidance excludes charges for amortization expense associated with intangible assets from prior acquisitions, certain other expenses, and related tax effect, which the Company expects to be approximately $4.4 million and $17.3 million for the fourth quarter and full year of 2021, respectively, which the Company expects will reduce GAAP earnings per share by approximately $0.13 and $0.51 for the respective periods.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company presents in this release its non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP earnings per diluted share, non-GAAP gross margin and non-GAAP operating margin results which exclude amortization expense associated with certain acquisition-related intangibles, restructuring charges, certain discrete items, direct costs of acquisitions, and the related tax effects. A reconciliation between non-GAAP and GAAP financial measures is included in this press release.

The Company believes that the presentation of results excluding these charges or gains provides meaningful supplemental information to both management and investors that is indicative of the Company's core operating results and better reflects the ongoing economics of the Company's operations. The Company believes these non-GAAP financial measures facilitate comparison of operating results across reporting periods.

Specifically, the Company excludes the following charges, gains, and their related tax effects in the calculation of non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP earnings per diluted share and non-GAAP operating profit: 1) Non-cash amortization expense associated with certain acquisition-related intangibles. The charges reflect an estimate of the cost of acquired intangible assets over their estimated useful lives. 2) Restructuring and other non-recurring charges. The Company has over time completed multiple acquisitions of other companies and businesses. Following an acquisition, the Company will, as it determines appropriate, initiate restructuring events to eliminate redundant costs. Restructuring expenses, which are excluded in the non-GAAP items, are exclusively related to permanent reductions in our workforce and redundant facility closures. 3) Certain discrete items. These items represent significant infrequent charges or gains that management believes should be viewed outside of normal operating results, and each significant discrete transaction is evaluated to determine whether it should be excluded from non-GAAP reporting. These items are specifically identified when they occur. 4) Direct costs of acquisitions. These are direct acquisition-related costs that occur when the Company makes an acquisition, such as professional fees, due diligence costs, and earn-out adjustments.

The Company applies GAAP methodologies in computing its non-GAAP tax provision by determining the annual expected effective tax rate after taking into account items excluded for non-GAAP financial reporting purposes.  The Company’s non-GAAP tax expense and its non-GAAP effective tax rate are generally higher than its GAAP tax expense and GAAP effective tax rate because the income subject to taxes would be higher due to the effect of the expenses excluded from non-GAAP financial reporting. The nature of each quarterly discrete transaction will be evaluated to determine whether it should be excluded from non-GAAP reporting.

The Company's management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing the Company's performance and when planning, forecasting, and analyzing future periods and the Company believes that investors also benefit from being able to refer to these non-GAAP financial measures along with the GAAP operating results. These non-GAAP financial measures also facilitate management's internal comparisons to the Company's historical performance. The non-GAAP financial measures disclosed by the Company should not be considered a substitute for or superior to financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP, and the financial results calculated in accordance with GAAP and reconciliations to those financial statements should be carefully evaluated.
