ALISO VIEJO, Calif., Nov. 13, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- SenoRx, Inc. (Nasdaq:SENO) today reported financial results for its third quarter ended September 30, 2007. Revenue for the quarter increased 44.9 percent to $8.9 million, compared with $6.1 million in the third quarter of 2006. Gross profit increased 88.0 percent to $5.4 million, or 60.1 percent of revenue, up from $2.8 million, or 46.3 percent of revenue, in the third quarter of 2006.
SenoRx reported an operating loss for the third quarter of $1.8 million, an improvement of 28.8 percent compared with $2.5 million in the same period last year. The operating loss for the quarter included additional administrative expenses of approximately $338,000 incurred during the period associated with being a public company and stock-based compensation expense of $655,000, compared with $289,000 in the third quarter of 2006.
Net loss for the third quarter of 2007 declined 37.2 percent to $1.7 million or 10 cents per share, compared with $2.7 million or $1.15 per share for the third quarter of 2006. Contributing to the reduction in net loss for the third quarter was a significant swing to net interest income from net interest expense resulting from the IPO proceeds.
"We are pleased to report another strong quarter for SenoRx. Revenues continued to grow strongly, led by a 44.9 percent increase in biopsy disposable revenues over the same period year ago. Also contributing to the revenue increase were new incremental commercial sales of our new Contura(tm) Multi-Lumen Balloon (MLB), as well as a significant increase in biopsy capital revenue for the third quarter," said Lloyd Malchow, SenoRx President and Chief Executive Officer. "We also continued to expand our gross margin, which showed significant improvement over the third quarter last year, and continued the positive sequential trend we have been achieving during 2007. Continued growth in the installed base of EnCor systems, favorable product sales mix, improved leverage of our manufacturing overhead across increased sales volume, and continued cost reduction as we transition certain component manufacturing to low-cost FDA-approved suppliers all contributed to the improvement in gross margin."
For the first nine months of 2007, SenoRx revenues increased 35.1 percent to $24.7 million, compared with $18.3 million for the same period in 2006. Gross profit grew 59.5 percent to $14.1 million from $8.9 million in the first nine months of last year. Net loss for the first nine months of 2007 decreased to $5.9 million compared with $11.5 million for the same period a year ago.
2007 Outlook
SenoRx is encouraged by the continued positive progress towards its financial performance objectives over the first nine months of 2007, and remains focused on executing its strategic plan. With the company's current product offering, including regulatory approval of the Contura MLB and most recently SenoSonix(tm), an integrated breast biopsy system with state-of-the-art ultrasound imaging, the company believes it is well positioned to become a leader in both the diagnostic and therapeutic breast care market. Based on the current outlook, SenoRx management has narrowed its guidance for full-year 2007 revenues to $34 to $35 million.
In addition, SenoRx has determined to use a portion of its IPO cash proceeds to retire the 2006 subordinated note prior to year end. The subordinated note bears an interest rate of 11.5 percent per annum and does not carry a prepayment penalty. Retirement of the subordinated note will result in an approximate use of cash in the amount of $10.4 million representing the principal balance and accrued unpaid interest. The company estimates the retirement of the subordinated note will result in a non-cash charge to non-operating expense of approximately $1.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2007, representing the unamortized debt issuance and debt discount costs which would have otherwise been charged to interest expense over the term of the subordinated note. The company intends to continue maintaining a credit facility on a going forward basis.
2008 Outlook
SenoRx management is currently conducting its annual strategic plan and expects to provide revenue guidance for 2008 by calendar year end 2007, following approval by management and the Board of Directors.
