CAESAREA, Israel--()--Mazor Robotics Ltd. (TASE: MZOR; NASDAQGM: MZOR), a pioneer and a leader in the field of surgical guidance systems, reported results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2016. As previously announced, Mazor received orders for a record 25 systems in the third quarter, including 15 orders from Medtronic and three additional pre-launch orders for the Mazor X system. Apart from these Mazor X orders, the Company also received purchase orders for seven Renaissance systems, with four in the U.S. and three internationally through its distribution partners in Germany, Australia and Thailand.

THIRD QUARTER HIGHLIGHTS

  • Unveiled Mazor X, a transformative surgical assurance platform to enhance predictability of spine surgeries for the benefit of patients and those who treat them.
  • Received three pre-launch orders for the Mazor X system from U.S. customers.
  • Completed the second equity investment tranche totaling $20 million from Medtronic.

RECENT OPERATING AND FINANCIAL ACHIEVEMENTS

  • Commercially launched the Mazor X system on October 26th at the North American Spine Society (NASS) annual meeting.
  • A major regional institution in the northeast placed an order for three Mazor X systems.

“This was a strong quarter for Mazor as we received purchase orders for 25 surgical guidance systems, a new record and nearly equivalent to the number of systems ordered in all of 2015,” commented Ori Hadomi, Chief Executive Officer. “Our continued momentum in the second half of 2016 is being driven mainly by two of our significant achievements – the strategic agreement signed in May with Medtronic and the unveiling of the Mazor X system in July. In addition, to date, we have received orders for six systems in the fourth quarter, including five Mazor X orders. This momentum combined with the strong interest we are experiencing for our products, clearly position us to maintain market leadership in surgical guidance spine surgeries."

THIRD QUARTER 2016 FINANCIAL RESULTS ON IFRS BASIS ("GAAP")

Revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2016 increased 52% to $7.6 million compared to $5.0 million in the 2015 third quarter. U.S. generated revenue was $5.7 million compared to $4.3 million in the 2015 third quarter due to recognition of 6 systems sold during the quarter, including three Mazor X systems sold to Medtronic, the Company’s strategic partner, compared to 3 systems sold in the 2015 third quarter. During the third quarter the Company received orders for and delivered four Renaissance systems in the U.S. However, due to the Company’s policy enabling new customers of the Renaissance system to exchange for the Mazor X, revenue was recognized for only two of these Renaissance systems. Revenue from the remaining systems is deferred until the Mazor X orders are supplied or the exchange option expires. The Company also received orders for 18 Mazor X systems, which include the 15 Mazor X systems ordered by Medtronic. Of these, four Mazor X were delivered in the third quarter. As previously disclosed, the three pre-launch Mazor X orders received in the third quarter are expected to be delivered to customers by the end of the 2017 first quarter, at which time the revenue will be recognized.

International revenue was $1.9 million compared to $0.7 million in the third quarter of 2015. The Company received orders for three Renaissance systems from its international distributors in Germany, Australia and Thailand. The Company also recognized revenue from a system delivered to its distribution partner in China, part of a multi system order received in the second quarter of 2016. In total, four systems were recognized in the international market during third quarter of 2016, compared to no system sales in the 2015 third quarter.

Recurring revenue from system kit sales, service and others increased to $4.3 million in the third quarter of 2016, representing a 30% increase compared to $3.3 million in the third quarter of 2015. The increase in recurring revenues is mainly from the increase in the installed base.

The Company’s gross margin for the three months ended September 30, 2016 was 65.7% compared to 75.9% in the third quarter of 2015, primarily reflecting the discounted pricing for the Mazor X systems delivered to Medtronic and the recent Renaissance price adjustment to support the Mazor X launch.

Total operating expenses in the third quarter of 2016 were $10.6 million compared to $8.9 million in the third quarter of 2015, mainly reflecting increased investment in sales and marketing efforts and reduced by capitalized research and development costs of $1.3 million dollars. Operating loss was $5.6 million compared to an operating loss of $5.1 million in the year-ago third quarter. Net loss for the third quarter of 2016 was $5.2 million, or $0.11 per share, compared to a net loss of $5.2 million, or $0.12 per share, in the year-ago third quarter.

Cash used in operating activities was $4.6 million compared to $2.6 million used in last year’s third quarter due to higher operating expense. As of September 30, 2016, cash, cash equivalents and investments totaled $64.3 million.

THIRD QUARTER 2016 FINANCIAL RESULTS ON NON-GAAP BASIS

The tables below include reconciliation of the Company’s GAAP results to non-GAAP results. The reconciliation relates to non-cash expense in the net amount of $0.4 million with respect to share-based payments and to research and development capitalization in the third quarter of 2016. On a non-GAAP basis, the net loss in the third quarter of 2016 was $4.9 million, or $0.11 per share, compared to $4.2 million, or $0.10 per share, for the third quarter of 2015.

NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2016 FINANCIAL RESULTS ON IFRS BASIS (“GAAP”)

For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, revenue increased 29.0% and totaled $22.3 million compared to $17.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. This increase is due to higher system sales and an increase in recurring revenue. Recurring revenue totaled $12.3 million, an increase of 34% compared to $9.2 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2015. The growth in recurring revenue is attributed to the increased utilization of the Company’s Renaissance system, mainly in the U.S. Gross margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 was 72.3% compared with 77.5% in the nine months ended September 30, 2015. Net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 was $14.4 million compared to $12.5 million in the first nine months of 2015.

NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2016 FINANCIAL RESULTS ON NON-GAAP BASIS

On a non-GAAP basis, the net loss for the first nine months of 2016 was $12.9 million, or $0.29 per share, compared to a net loss of $10.2 million, or $0.24 per share, in the first nine months of 2015.

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 research and 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.
