CAESAREA, Israel--()--Mazor Robotics Ltd. (TASE: MZOR; NASDAQGM: MZOR), a pioneer and a leader in the field of surgical guidance systems, generated revenue of $8.3 million for the second quarter ended June 30, 2016. During the second quarter Mazor received orders for 11 Renaissance systems, six of which were installed in the U.S., including two systems with brain modules. As a result of a trade-in\upgrade agreement, revenues related to one of the U.S. systems will be recognized in a future period. Internationally, five systems were ordered and three were delivered. As previously disclosed, two of the international systems will be delivered in the second half of 2016, at which time the revenue will be recorded.

SIGNIFICANT RECENT OPERATING ACHIEVEMENTS

  • On May 18th, Mazor entered into commercial agreements with Medtronic plc for co-promotion, co-development and potential global distribution of certain Mazor products.
  • On July 12th, Mazor unveiled the Mazor X, a transformative Surgical Assurance Platform to enhance predictability of spine surgeries for the benefit of patients and those who treat them.
  • On July 14th, at the International Meeting on Advanced Spine Techniques (IMAST) annual meeting in Washington DC, comprehensive data from two studies which demonstrated significant clinical benefits of the Company’s surgical guidance technology were presented.
  • Strengthened balance sheet: following the execution of the first tranche of the Medtronic equity investment, on June 30th Mazor had $47.5 million in cash, cash equivalents and investments, which provides resources for the Company for continued development of advanced solutions to address clinical needs for better patient outcomes.
  • The Company received a purchase order from Medtronic for fifteen Mazor X systems to be delivered in the second half of 2016.

“This was a strong quarter for Mazor, culminated by several achievements that significantly enhance our growth prospects and position us for continued success,” commented Ori Hadomi, Chief Executive Officer. “We reported the second highest number of Renaissance purchase orders received in a single quarter, demonstrating the market’s growing interest in our surgical guidance systems. As reported earlier this quarter, we entered into two strategic agreements with Medtronic which we expect to accelerate our market penetration providing more clinicians and their patients with access to the Mazor X, the new transformative surgical guidance platform for spine surgeries that we recently unveiled. We have pioneered the field of spine robotics and Mazor X will create a new standard of care by which to measure technologies in this field, thus maintaining our leadership position for the foreseeable future.”

Use of Non-GAAP Measures

In addition to disclosing financial results calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards (GAAP), this press release contains non-GAAP financial measures for gross profit, operating expenses, operating loss, net loss and basic and diluted earnings per share that exclude the effects of non-cash expense of share-based payments and capitalization of development costs. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding the Company’s performance that enhances management's and investors' ability to evaluate the Company's net income and earnings per share and to compare them to historical net income and earnings per share.

The presentation of this non-GAAP financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. Management uses both GAAP and non-GAAP measures when operating and evaluating the Company’s business internally and therefore decided to make these non-GAAP adjustments available to investors.
