TORONTO, Oct. 28, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Novadaq Technologies Inc. ("NOVADAQ" or the "Company") (NASDAQ:NVDQ) (TSX:NDQ), the leading developer and provider of clinically relevant fluorescence imaging solutions for use in surgical and diagnostic procedures, today announced financial results for its third quarter ended September 30, 2015. Unless otherwise indicated, all dollar amounts in this press release are expressed in United States ("U.S.") dollars.
For the three months ended September 30, 2015, NOVADAQ reported revenues of $17.0 million, an increase of 40% from $12.1 million in the third quarter of 2014. Product sales increased by $5.2 million, or 47%, primarily due to a 53% increase in capital sales and a 38% increase in recurring revenue.
The following table sets out certain supplemental quarterly revenue and installed base metrics to assist investors in following the Company's progress over time:
|
Q1-2015 |
Q2-2015 |
Q3-2015 |
Change (Q3 vs. Q2) |
|
| REVENUES (million's) | ||||
| Recurring | $4.9 | $5.7 | $6.1 | +7% |
| Capital | $3.6 | $6.5 | $7.7 | +19% |
| Total Direct | $8.5 | $12.2 | $13.8 | +13% |
| Partnered/International | $3.2 | $2.9 | $3.2 | +11% |
| Total | $11.7 | $15.1 | $17.0 | +13% |
| INSTALLED BASE | ||||
| Direct Systems | 575 | 611 | 647 | +6% |
| Recurring Revenue/Direct System | $8,566 | $9,251 | $9,352 | +1% |
The Company estimates that the number of procedures performed using SPY technology systems during the third quarter was approximately 10,500, representing an increase of 15% year-over-year and 10% sequentially over the previous quarter.
Third quarter gross profits of $12.6 million (74% margin) compared to gross profits of $7.8 million (64%) in the same period last year.
Net loss for the 2015 third quarter was $3.7 million, or $0.07 basic loss per share, compared with net income of $3.0 million, or $0.05 basic income per share, in Q3-2014. The change was a result of an increase in operating expenses of $7.2 million and a decrease in warrant revaluation income of $4.3 million. Offsetting these amounts was an increase in gross profit of $4.8 million.
Third quarter 2015 operating burn (cash consumed by operating activities before changes in working capital) was $3.5 million compared to $1.1 million in the third quarter of 2014. This difference in operating burn was mainly driven by increased selling and distribution expenses associated with the continued build-out of NOVADAQ's direct sales and marketing infrastructure, which was partially offset by an increase in gross profit. During Q3-2015, working capital increased by $2.0 million, driven by increased inventories and accounts receivable, partially offset by increased accounts payable, accrued liabilities, and a decrease in prepaid expenses and other assets.
Cash and cash equivalents were $116.4 million at September 30, 2015, reflecting a decrease of $8.0 million compared to the cash position as at June 30, 2015.
"We had a strong third quarter, characterized by robust growth in both capital sales and recurring revenues, increased gross profits, higher device utilization and the continuing expansion of our installed base," commented Arun Menawat, NOVADAQ's President and Chief Executive.
