RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--TransEnterix, Inc. (NYSE MKT:TRXC), a medical device company that is pioneering the use of robotics to improve minimally invasive surgery, today announced its operating and financial results for the second quarter of 2017.
Recent Highlights
- The Company sold a SenhanceTM Surgical Robotic System to Saitama Medical University International Medical Center
- The Company submitted its 510(k) application for the Senhance Surgical Robotic System to FDA
- The Company raised approximately $23.2 million through an equity financing
- The Company refinanced its debt, securing up to $17.0 million in debt financing
- In July, the Senhance platform was used in the first-ever robotic micro-laparoscopic surgeries using 3mm instruments
- In July, the NovadaqⓇ PinpointⓇ Fluorescence Imaging system was used in conjunction with the Senhance platform
“We are very pleased with the progress we made during the quarter on our key strategic priorities, including the steps taken towards achieving 510(k) clearance for the Senhance by the end of 2017,” said Todd M. Pope, President and Chief Executive Officer of TransEnterix. “We are also encouraged by the continued momentum in clinical utilization in Europe, and now globally with our sale in Japan. In addition, we have been able to leverage the open architecture of the Senhance to incorporate cutting edge technologies into the platform, setting a new standard for minimally invasive robotic surgery.”
Commercial and Clinical Update
In the second quarter, the Company sold a Senhance Robotic Surgery System to the Saitama Medical University International Medical Center located in the Saitama Prefecture in the Greater Tokyo region. The Senhance System was purchased in Japan under a physician import license, which allows cutting-edge medical devices to be directly purchased by Japanese physicians. Japan is the second largest market for medical devices as well as robotic assisted surgery devices. The Senhance does not have broader market approval for sale in Japan.
As of June 30, 2017, the Company had eight Senhance systems installed in France, Germany, Italy, the United Kingdom, and Japan. Within these eight hospitals, 21 surgeons performed surgery in the second quarter across gynecology, colorectal, general surgery, urology, and thoracic specialties.
In July, the Senhance platform was used in the first-ever robotic micro-laparoscopic surgeries utilizing 3mm instruments. Cases were performed at multiple clinical sites and included ovarian cystectomies, endometrial excisions, total laparoscopic hysterectomies, bilateral salpingo-oophorectomies and cholecystectomies. The Company expects to fully launch its 3mm instruments in the fourth quarter in CE Mark countries.
In July, the NovadaqⓇ PinPointⓇ Endoscopic Fluorescence Imaging System was used in conjunction with the Senhance platform in multiple general surgical and gynecologic procedures. The open architecture of the Senhance platform allowed us to rapidly integrate this system so that surgeons can benefit from utilizing this leading fluorescence imaging technology.
Financial Highlights
For the three months ended June 30, 2017, the Company reported revenue of $1.6 million, primarily related to the sale of one Senhance during the quarter.
For the three months ended June 30, 2017, total operating expenses were $15.4 million, as compared to $80.7 million in the three months ended June 30, 2016. The prior year quarter included approximately $67.4 million of non-recurring impairment charges.
For the three months ended June 30, 2017, net loss was $14.7 million, or $0.11 per share, as compared to $80.1 million, or $0.70 per share, in the three months ended June 30, 2016.
The Company had cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash of approximately $36.2 million as of June 30, 2017. In the second quarter, the Company completed an equity offering with approximately $23.2 million in net proceeds, and refinanced its debt. With these funding actions, the Company expects to fund its operations into the first quarter of 2018. The equity offering also included Series A warrants that will expire ten days after the announcement of an FDA clearance of the Senhance. Assuming that these warrants are exercised, the Company will receive another $25.0 million, which the Company expects will fund its operations into late 2018.
