Nov 02, 2021

MENLO PARK, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 2, 2021-- Intersect ENT, Inc. (Nasdaq: XENT), a global ear, nose and throat (“ENT”) medical technology leader dedicated to transforming patient care, today reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2021.

Total revenue was $24.4 million for the third quarter of 2021, up 7%, compared to $22.7 million for the same period of 2020.

Gross profit for the third quarter of 2021 was $19.3 million and gross margin was 79.2%, compared to gross profit of $14.9 million and gross margin of 65.5% for the same period of 2020. Excluding the impact of intangible asset amortization, adjusted gross profit and adjusted gross margin for the third quarter of 2021 was $19.8 million and 81.2%, respectively. There were no adjustments in the same period of 2020. Gross margin increased year-over-year due to increased production levels.

Operating expenses for the third quarter of 2021 were $36.2 million, compared to $26.3 million in the same period of 2020. R&D expenses increased to $6.7 million from $4.6 million for the same period of 2020. SG&A expenses increased to $29.5 million from $21.7 million for the same period of 2020. The year-on-year increase in SG&A expenses was principally driven by one-time transaction costs and professional fees associated with the announced Medtronic transaction.

Net loss for the third quarter of 2021 was $31.8 million, or $0.95 per share, and adjusted net loss was $16.1 million, or $0.48 per share, compared to a net loss of $11.5 million, or $0.35 per share, and adjusted net loss of $11.0 million, or $0.34 per share, in the same period of 2020. Adjusted net loss for the third quarter of 2021 excludes a $13.0 million loss on embedded derivatives in our convertible debt associated with an increase in stock price and the increased probability of a change in control, $2.0 million of transaction costs primarily associated with the announced Medtronic transaction, and $0.7 million of intangible asset amortization expense. Adjusted net loss for the same period of 2020 excludes a $1.0 million gain on embedded derivatives and $1.5 million in transaction costs.

The balance of cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, and short-term investments as of September 30, 2021 was $99.0 million, compared to $105.5 million at the start of the year.

Medtronic Transaction Update

On August 6, 2021, Intersect ENT announced that it had entered into a definitive agreement with Medtronic plc, in which Medtronic will acquire all outstanding shares of Intersect ENT for $28.25 per share in an all-cash transaction implying an enterprise value of approximately $1.1 billion. On September 22, 2021, the Company received a second request of the Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) requesting additional materials regarding the transaction. On October 8, 2021, Intersect ENT’s shareholders voted to approve the transaction at a special meeting of the shareholders. Based on this information, Intersect ENT believes the acquisition remains on track to close toward the end of Medtronic’s current fiscal year, April 30, 2022, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions and various regulatory clearances.

In light of this transaction, Intersect ENT will not host a conference call to review third quarter financial results.

Non-GAAP Measures vs. GAAP Financial Measures

This release contains financial measures, adjusted gross profit, adjusted gross margin, and adjusted net loss, that are not calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). A reconciliation of non-GAAP to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, is provided in the financial schedules portion at the end of this press release. Non-GAAP financial measures differ from GAAP financial measures and may differ from non-GAAP financial measures with the same or similar captions that are used by other companies. As such, non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.

Intersect ENT uses non-GAAP financial measures to analyze its operating performance and future prospects, develop internal budgets and financial goals, and to facilitate period-to-period comparisons. Intersect ENT believes that non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors as they reflect an additional way of viewing aspects of its operations that, when viewed with its GAAP results, provide a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting its business.
