Redwood City, Calif., May 9, 2016 Nevro Corp. (NYSE: NVRO), a global medical device company that is providing innovative evidence-based solutions
for the treatment of chronic pain, today reported financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2016.
First Quarter Highlights:
I am pleased that the adoption of HF10 therapy has continued at a strong pace in the first quarter in both the U.S. and international markets,
said Michael DeMane, Chairman and CEO of Nevro. The organization is making meaningful strides toward our goal of helping more chronic pain patients with Nevro s innovative and best-in-class spinal cord therapy. We are pleased to raise our
worldwide revenue guidance based on strong customer demand.
With over 7,000 patients now benefiting from HF10 therapy, I m excited about
the momentum created by our team in working towards the goal of ensuring patients have access to this clinically superior therapy, said Rami Elghandour, President of Nevro. We will build on this momentum by broadening access to
HF10 therapy through continued sales force expansion as well as the launch of our surgical lead in the fourth quarter of this year. As always, we remain committed to patient outcomes as the foundation for everything we do.
First Quarter Financial Results
Revenue for the three
months ended March 31, 2016 was $41.7 million versus $9.7 million during the same period of the prior year, representing 331% growth as reported. U.S. revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2016 was $29.5 million in the third full
quarter of U.S. commercial availability. International revenue was $12.2 million, representing growth of 31% in constant currency and 26% on an as-reported basis. The increase in international revenue was primarily attributable to the continued
adoption of the Senza system.
Gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2016 was $26.0 million, representing a 62% gross
margin, up from $5.8 million, representing a 60% gross margin, in the same period of the prior year.
Operating expenses for the three months ended
March 31, 2016 were $35.0 million compared to $18.1 million in the same period of the prior year, representing an increase of 93%. The increase in operating expenses was driven primarily by increased headcount and related personnel costs.
Loss from operations for the first quarter of 2016 was $9.0 million compared to $12.3 million for the same period of the prior year.
Guidance for Full Year 2016
Nevro projects worldwide
revenue for 2016 to be in the range of $175 to $185 million. This compares to previous expectations for 2016 worldwide revenue in the range of $155 to $165 million announced in February 2016.
