  • Total units sold were 32,400, an increase of 7,300 or 29.1%, over the same period in 2016, reflecting the strong consumer demand for the Company’s products across all sales channels

“The second quarter of 2017 was a strong quarter for us, particularly in our domestic business-to-business and direct-to-consumer channels, and we are proud of our success in driving demand for our innovative oxygen concentrators,” said Chief Executive Officer, Scott Wilkinson. “We are executing on our strategic initiatives and remain focused on increasing adoption of our best-in-class product offerings across all of our channels. During the second quarter, we worked to integrate our European distributor, MedSupport Systems B.V., after acquiring it in May 2017. We also broadened market access by receiving the EC Certificate for European conformity of our Inogen One G4 product, signed a lease for our expansion site in Ohio to support growth in our domestic direct-to-consumer sales channel, and successfully launched our new customer relationship management (CRM) system in June 2017, which we believe will improve productivity across our sales, billing, and customer service teams long-term.”

Second Quarter 2017 Financial Results

Total revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2017 rose 17.5% to $64.1 million from $54.6 million in the same period in 2016. Domestic business-to-business sales exceeded our expectations and grew 32.2% over the same period in 2016, primarily driven by continued strong demand from traditional home medical equipment providers and our private label partner. International business-to-business sales in the second quarter of 2017 grew 13.9% over the comparative period in 2016, primarily due to demand from our partners in Europe. Direct-to-consumer sales rose 33.3% over the same period in 2016, ahead of our expectations. Rental revenue decreased 32.3% from the same period in 2016, primarily due to the declines in rental reimbursement rates and our strategic focus on sales versus rentals. Rental revenue declined to 9.5% of total revenue in the second quarter of 2017 from 16.5% of total revenue in the second quarter of 2016.

Total gross margin was 49.2% in the second quarter of 2017 versus 48.0% in the comparative period in 2016. Sales gross margin was 51.8% in the second quarter of 2017 versus 49.4% in the second quarter of 2016. The sales gross margin percentage improvement was primarily associated with lower cost of goods sold per unit, mostly due to lower materials costs. Rental gross margin was 25.0% in the second quarter of 2017 versus 41.0% in the second quarter of 2016. The decrease in rental gross margin was primarily due to lower net revenue per rental patient, mostly driven by reimbursement rate reductions and partially offset by lower cost of rental revenue primarily associated with lower depreciation and servicing costs.

Total operating expense increased to $23.1 million, or 36.0% of revenue, in the second quarter of 2017 versus $18.2 million, or 33.3% of revenue, in the second quarter of 2016. The second quarter of 2016 included a $1.0 million benefit in general and administrative expense for a litigation settlement that did not recur in the second quarter of 2017.

Operating expense included research and development expense of $1.3 million in the second quarter of 2017, which was consistent with $1.4 million in the comparative period in 2016. Sales and marketing expense increased to $11.9 million in the second quarter of 2017 versus $9.6 million in the comparative period in 2016, primarily due to increased advertising expense and increased personnel-related expenses due to salesforce additions. General and administrative expense increased to $9.9 million in the second quarter of 2017 versus $7.2 million in the comparative period in 2016, primarily due to a $1.0 million litigation settlement benefit recognized in the second quarter of 2016 that did not recur in the second quarter of 2017, increased bad debt expense and increased patent defense legal costs.

Net income for the second quarter of 2017 increased 11.3% to $8.3 million from $7.5 million in the second quarter of 2016, or $0.38 per diluted common share compared to $0.36 in the second quarter of 2016. In the second quarter of 2017, Inogen’s effective tax rate was 9.0% compared to 6.8% in the second quarter of 2016.

During the fourth quarter of 2016, the Company elected to early adopt Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-09, Compensation – Stock Compensation. In the second quarter of 2017, excess tax benefits recognized from stock-based compensation decreased the provision for income taxes by $2.5 million and the effective tax rate by 27.2%, as compared to the U.S. statutory rate. In the second quarter of 2016, excess tax benefits recognized from stock-based compensation decreased the provision for income taxes by $2.4 million and the effective tax rate by 29.3%, as compared to the U.S. statutory rate.

Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended June 30, 2017 rose 5.6% to $14.4 million from $13.6 million in the second quarter of 2016.

Cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities were $144.2 million as of June 30, 2017 compared to $128.2 million as of March 31, 2017, an increase of $16.0 million in the second quarter of 2017.

Financial Outlook for 2017

Inogen is increasing its guidance range for full year 2017 revenue to $239 to $243 million, which represents year-over-year growth of 17.8% to 19.8%, and compares to previous guidance of $233 to $239 million. The Company expects direct-to-consumer sales and domestic business-to-business sales to be our strongest growing channels and to have similar growth rates, and international business-to-business sales to have a more modest growth rate where the market penetration strategy is expected to be primarily focused on the European markets. Inogen expects rental revenue to decline in 2017 compared to 2016 by approximately 30% based on lower average rental revenue per patient and a focus on sales versus rentals.

Inogen is increasing its guidance range for full year 2017 net income and Adjusted net income to $25 to $27 million, which represents 21.8% to 31.6% year-over-year growth, and compares to previous guidance of $22 to $24 million. Inogen estimates that the adoption of ASU No. 2016-09 will lead to a decrease in provision for income taxes of approximately $8.0 million in 2017 based on forecasted stock activity, which will continue to lower its effective tax rate. Excluding the $8.0 million decrease in provision for income taxes expected in 2017, the Company expects an effective tax rate of approximately 36% compared to its previous expectations of 37%. After giving effect to ASU No. 2016-09, the Company expects an effective tax rate including stock compensation deductions to vary quarter-to-quarter depending on the amount of pre-tax net income and on the timing and size of stock option exercises.

Inogen is narrowing its guidance range for full year 2017 Adjusted EBITDA to $48 to $50 million, which represents year-over-year growth of 10.6% to 15.2%, and compares to previous guidance of $46 to $50 million.

Inogen continues to expect net positive cash flow for 2017 with no additional equity capital required to meet its current operating plan.

Cautionary Note Concerning Forward-Looking Statements

This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including, among others, statements regarding anticipated growth opportunities; expectations that rental revenue will decline in 2017; expectations of growth in the direct-to-consumer, domestic business-to-business and international sales channels; the expected impact of ASU No. 2016-09; expectations of improved long-term productivity resulting from the implementation of the new CRM system; and financial guidance for 2017, including revenue, net income, Adjusted net income, Adjusted EBITDA, net cash flow, effective tax rates and tax benefit adjustments, and the need for equity financing. Forward-looking statements are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from currently anticipated results, including but not limited to, risks arising from the possibility that Inogen will not realize anticipated revenue; the impact of reduced reimbursement rates, including private payor reductions and reductions in connection with competitive bidding and the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) rules; the possible loss of key employees, customers, or suppliers; risks related to Inogen’s ability to integrate acquired business; and intellectual property risks if Inogen is unable to secure and maintain patent or other intellectual property protection for the intellectual property used in its products. In addition, Inogen's business is subject to numerous additional risks and uncertainties, including, among others, risks relating to market acceptance of its products; competition; its sales, marketing and distribution capabilities; its planned sales, marketing, and research and development activities; interruptions or delays in the supply of components or materials for, or manufacturing of, its products; seasonal variations; unanticipated increases in costs or expenses; and risks associated with international operations. Information on these and additional risks, uncertainties, and other information affecting Inogen’s business operating results are contained in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 and in Inogen’s subsequent reports on Form 10-Q and Form 8-K, including Inogen's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2017 to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Inogen has presented certain financial information in accordance with U.S. GAAP and also on a non-GAAP basis for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and June 30, 2016. Management believes that non-GAAP financial measures, taken in conjunction with U.S. GAAP financial measures, provide useful information for both management and investors by excluding certain non-cash and other expenses that are not indicative of Inogen's core operating results. Management uses non-GAAP measures to compare Inogen's performance relative to forecasts and strategic plans, to benchmark Inogen's performance externally against competitors, and for certain compensation decisions. Non-GAAP information is not prepared under a comprehensive set of accounting rules and should only be used to supplement an understanding of Inogen's operating results as reported under U.S. GAAP. Inogen encourages investors to carefully consider its results under U.S. GAAP, as well as its supplemental non-GAAP information and the reconciliation between these presentations, to more fully understand its business. Reconciliations between U.S. GAAP and non-GAAP results are presented in the accompanying table of this release. For future periods, Inogen is unable to provide a reconciliation of non-GAAP measures without unreasonable effort as a result of the uncertainty regarding, and the potential variability of, the amounts of interest income, interest expense, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, provisions for income taxes, and certain other infrequently occurring items, such as acquisition related costs, that may be incurred in the future.
