MINNEAPOLIS, MN, August 6, 2018 — Tactile Systems Technology, Inc. (“Tactile Medical”) (Nasdaq: TCMD), a medical technology company focused on developing medical devices for the treatment of chronic diseases at home, today reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2018.

 

Second Quarter 2018 Summary:

 

·      Total revenue increased 30% year-over-year, to $34.1 million, compared to $26.3 million in second quarter 2017.

·      Flexitouch revenue increased 30% year-over-year, to $31.4 million, compared to $24.2 million in second quarter 2017.

·      Operating income of $1.3 million, compared to operating income of $0.7 million in second quarter 2017.

·      Net income of $2.6 million, compared to net income of $3.8 million in second quarter 2017.

·      Adjusted EBITDA of $4.3 million compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $2.3 million in second quarter 2017.

 

Second Quarter Highlights:

 

·      On April 9, 2018, the Company announced that its latest-generation Flexitouch system, the Flexitouch Plus, is commercially available throughout the United States for the treatment of lymphedema. The Company previously announced U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) 510(k) clearance for the Flexitouch Plus in June 2017.

·      On June 4, 2018, the Company announced it had signed a purchase agreement with Wright Therapy Products, Inc. Under the terms of the agreement, Tactile Medical acquired the rights to a portfolio of 31 issued and pending patents, consisting of intellectual property related to Wright Therapy Products’ pneumatic compression therapy devices, which are used for the treatment of lymphedema, venous insufficiency, venous ulcers and other edematous conditions.

·      On June 22, 2018, the Company announced the publication of a new clinical study demonstrating the health and economic benefits of the Flexitouch system for chronic venous insufficiency-related lymphedema (“CVI-related lymphedema,” also known as “Phlebolymphedema”), compared to other treatment modalities. The study, titled Health and Economic Benefits of Advanced Pneumatic Compression Devices in Patients with Phlebolymphedema, was conducted by Lerman et al. and published in the Journal of Vascular Surgery.

 

Highlights Subsequent to Quarter End:

 

·      On August 3, 2018, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association for a senior secured credit facility. The Credit Agreement provides for a $10 million revolving credit facility with a three-year maturity. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement would bear interest at a rate of Libor plus 140 basis points to 215 basis points, depending on the Company’s total leverage ratio at the time. The Credit Agreement also includes a $25 million accordion feature. Subject to satisfaction of certain conditions, the accordion feature could allow the Company to

 



 

expand the total aggregate principal amount of loans available under the Credit Agreement to up to $35 million. As of August 6, 2018, the Company had not borrowed under the Credit Agreement.

·      On August 6, 2018, the Company announced the appointment of Brent A. Moen to the position of Chief Financial Officer, effective September 2, 2018. Mr. Moen will succeed Lynn L. Blake, who will resign from her current role as Chief Financial Officer effective as of the close of business on September 1, 2018. Ms. Blake’s resignation is for personal reasons and not due to any disagreement with the Company on any matter, including related to the Company’s operations, policies, practices, financial reporting or controls. Ms. Blake will continue to advise the Company in a consulting role until March 2019 in order to facilitate a smooth transition.

 

“Our second quarter and first half results reflect strong operating and financial performance this year,” said Gerald R. Mattys, Chief Executive Officer of Tactile Medical. “Flexitouch system sales continue to drive our revenue growth — increasing 34% over the first six months of 2018 — fueled by the powerful combination of a focused selling strategy, targeting high-volume accounts and the Veterans Administration hospital system, strong sales team execution and our expansion of in-network coverage with commercial insurers. Our second quarter revenue growth also benefitted from the full launch of our new Flexitouch Plus system, which is progressing well and continues to garner positive feedback from clinicians and patients. In addition to our robust revenue growth in the second quarter and first half of 2018, we also achieved improved operating income.”

 

“As we announced in a separate press release this evening, the Company has appointed Brent Moen, a tenured financial executive with over 20 years of managerial experience, to lead our continued development as incoming Chief Financial Officer, effective September 2, 2018. Mr. Moen will succeed our current CFO, Lynn Blake, who will continue to provide support and assist with the transition in a consulting role until March 2019.”

 

Mr. Mattys continued, “Looking ahead, we are increasing our annual revenue guidance based on our first half results and we expect to leverage our strong revenue growth into improved profitability this year. In addition to remaining focused on these objectives, we will continue to enhance the quality of life for our patient customers by providing them with clinically proven, at-home treatments for their chronic conditions.”

 

Second Quarter 2018 Financial Results

 

Total revenue for the second quarter of 2018 increased $7.9 million, or 30%, to $34.1 million, compared to $26.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2017. The increase in revenue was primarily attributable to an increase of $7.1 million, or 30%, in Flexitouch system sales. The increase in Flexitouch system sales was largely driven by expansion of our salesforce, growth in the Veterans Administration channel, increased physician and patient awareness of the treatment options for lymphedema, and expanded contractual coverage with national and regional insurance payers.

 

Gross profit for the second quarter of 2018 increased $5.3 million, or 28%, to $24.5 million, compared to $19.2 million in the second quarter of 2017. Gross margin was 71.8% of sales in the second quarter of 2018, compared to 73.2% of sales in the second quarter of 2017. The current period gross margin was impacted by the Flexitouch Plus launch in the quarter.

 

Operating expenses for the second quarter of 2018 increased $4.7 million, or 25%, to $23.2 million, compared to $18.5 million in the second quarter of 2017. The increase in operating expenses in the second quarter was

 



 

primarily driven by an increase of $3.8 million, or 36% year-over-year, in sales and marketing expenses due to continued investment in field sales team expansion and marketing activities to increase awareness. The year-over-year increase in operating expenses was also impacted by a $1.1 million, or 17%, increase in reimbursement, general and administrative expenses.

 

Operating income for the second quarter of 2018 increased $0.6 million, or 80%, to $1.3 million, compared to operating income of $0.7 million in the second quarter of 2017.

 

Income tax benefit for the second quarter of 2018 was $1.1 million, compared to an income tax benefit of $3.0 million in the second quarter of 2017. The tax benefit recognized in the second quarters of 2018 and 2017 related to tax-deductible stock-based compensation activity in each period.

 

Net income for the second quarter of 2018 decreased approximately $1.2 million, or 32%, to $2.6 million, or $0.13 per diluted share, compared to net income of $3.8 million, or $0.20 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2017.  The decrease in net income was primarily driven by a $1.9 million decrease in the tax benefit recognized in the current quarter, compared to the second quarter of 2017. Weighted average shares used to compute diluted net income per share were 19.3 million and 18.8 million for the second quarters of 2018 and 2017, respectively.

 

Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter of 2018 increased approximately $2.0 million year-over-year to $4.3 million, compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $2.3 million in the second quarter of 2017.

 

First Half 2018 Financial Results:

 

Total revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2018 increased $14.9 million, or 32%, to $61.0 million, compared to $46.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017. The increase in revenue was primarily driven by an increase of approximately $14.2 million, or 34%, year-over-year in sales of the Flexitouch system.

 

Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2018 increased $0.2 million, to $2.5 million, or $0.13 per diluted share, compared to net income of approximately $2.3 million, or $0.12 per diluted share, for the six months ended June 30, 2017. Weighted average shares used to compute diluted net income per share were 19.2 million and 18.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

 

Adjusted EBITDA for the six months ended June 30, 2018 increased approximately $3.8 million to $4.4 million, compared to $0.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017.

 

Cash Position

 

At June 30, 2018, cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities were $41.1 million, compared to $43.9 million at December 31, 2017. The Company had no debt outstanding at June 30, 2018.

 

On August 3, 2018, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association for a senior secured credit facility. The Credit Agreement provides for a $10 million revolving credit facility with a three-year maturity and also includes a $25 million accordion feature. Subject to satisfaction of certain conditions, the accordion feature could allow the Company to expand the total aggregate principal amount of loans available under the Credit Agreement to up to $35 million.

 

As of August 6, 2018, the Company had not borrowed under the Credit Agreement.

 



 

2018 Financial Outlook

 

For 2018, the Company now expects revenue in the range of $134 million to $135 million, representing growth of 23% to 24% year-over-year, compared to revenue of $109.3 million in 2017.  This compares to the Company’s prior guidance range of $132 million to $134 million.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

This press release includes the non-GAAP financial measure of Adjusted EBITDA, which differs from financial measures calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Adjusted EBITDA in this release represents net income less interest income, net, plus income tax benefit, depreciation and amortization and stock-based compensation expense. Adjusted EBITDA is presented because the Company believes it is a useful indicator of its operating performance. Management uses the measure principally as a measure of the Company’s operating performance and for planning purposes, including the preparation of the Company’s annual operating budget and financial projections. The Company believes this measure is useful to investors as supplemental information because it is frequently used by analysts, investors and other interested parties to evaluate companies in its industry. The Company believes Adjusted EBITDA is useful to its management and investors as a measure of comparative operating performance from period to period. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA is used as a performance metric in the Company’s compensation program.

 

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure and should not be considered as an alternative to, or superior to, net income or loss as a measure of financial performance or cash flows from operations as a measure of liquidity, or any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP, and it should not be construed to imply that the Company’s future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. In addition, the measure is not intended to be a measure of free cash flow for management’s discretionary use, as it does not reflect certain cash requirements such as tax payments, debt service requirements, capital expenditures and certain other cash costs that may recur in the future. Adjusted EBITDA contains certain other limitations, including the failure to reflect our cash expenditures, cash requirements for working capital needs and cash costs to replace assets being depreciated and amortized. In evaluating Adjusted EBITDA, you should be aware that in the future the Company may incur expenses that are the same as or similar to some of the adjustments in this presentation. The Company’s presentation of Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed to imply that its future results will be unaffected by any such adjustments. Management compensates for these limitations by primarily relying on the Company’s GAAP results in addition to using Adjusted EBITDA on a supplemental basis. The Company’s definition of this measure is not necessarily comparable to other similarly titled captions of other companies due to different methods of calculation.

 

The following table contains a reconciliation of Net Income to Adjusted EBITDA.
