- Macroplastique(R) Year-over-Year U.S. Sales Continue Strong Growth -
MINNEAPOLIS, Nov. 2 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Uroplasty, Inc. (NYSE Amex:
UPI), a medical device company that develops, manufactures and markets
innovative proprietary products to treat voiding dysfunctions, today reported
financial results for the second fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2009.
"Our team continues to execute our strategy for the current fiscal year by
growing U.S. Macroplastique sales and maximizing the potential for gaining a
unique CPT code for Urgent PC® treatments," said David Kaysen, President &
CEO. "During the quarter, we learned that a manuscript of the results from
the SUmiT Trial has been recommended for publication in The Journal of
Urology® and is tentatively scheduled to appear in the April 2010 issue. This
study reports on a 220-subject, multicenter, randomized, controlled clinical
trial designed to directly compare the effectiveness of PTNS using Urgent PC
to a validated sham intervention over a 12-week period and is a major
component of our strategy to expand and support third-party reimbursement
coverage of Urgent PC treatments. The investigators' submission of this
manuscript was ahead of the original timetable. We fully anticipate submitting
an application to the American Medical Association (AMA) for a unique CPT code
for PTNS prior to the November 11, 2009 deadline.
"While our fiscal second quarter and first half financial performance is below
year-ago results, we are encouraged by the continued strong growth of our U.S.
Macroplastique product sales," continued Mr. Kaysen. "Sales of our
Macroplastique product in the U.S. through six months of our current fiscal
year have about doubled in each quarter over the corresponding year-ago
quarter. At the same time, Urgent PC sales in the U.S., while continuing to
be challenged by the uncertain insurance reimbursement environment, have
stabilized at about $1 million per quarter in each of the last two quarters.
While European sales continue to be impacted by a competitive product launch,
we saw growth in sales in the second fiscal quarter from distributors in two
major European markets which had recorded a decline in the first fiscal
quarter. At the same time, with the SUmiT clinical study expenses largely
behind us, and our vigilant efforts to manage expenses to conserve cash, we
have adequate liquidity to meet our needs for the next 12 months."
Fiscal Second Quarter and First Half Results for the Period Ended September
30, 2009
Net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2009 were $3.0 million
versus $3.9 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2009. Net sales for the
six months ended September 30, 2009 were $5.8 million versus $8.4 million for
same period a year ago.
Net sales to customers in the U.S. during the three months ended September 30,
2009 totaled $1.5 million, as compared to net sales of $2.2 million for the
three months ended September 30, 2008. Sales of Urgent PC of $960,000
declined from $2.0 million in the year-ago quarter. The trend in decline of
Urgent PC sales over corresponding year-ago periods began in the second half
of fiscal 2009 due to reimbursement related issues. Partially offsetting this
decline was an increase in Macroplastique product sales to $528,000 from
$254,000 in the year-ago quarter. Sales of Macroplastique have steadily
increased because of increased sales and marketing focus. Net sales of
Macroplastique to customers in the U.S. for the first half of fiscal 2010
totaled $949,000 versus $441,000 for the first six months of fiscal 2009.
Sales to customers outside of the U.S. for the three months ended September,
2009 were $1.5 million, down from $1.7 million in the year-ago period.
Excluding the translation impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange
rates, sales decreased by approximately 5%. The second fiscal quarter is
normally the weakest of the year for the Company's international business.
The sales decrease as compared to last year is mainly attributed to increased
competition from a newly-introduced product competitive with Uroplasty's
Macroplastique.
Sales to customers outside of the U.S. for the first half of fiscal 2010 were
$2.8 million as compared to $4.0 million, a decrease of 29%, for the six
months ended September 30, 2008. Excluding the translation impact of
fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, sales decreased by
approximately 20%. Also contributing to the decline in sales is the
discontinuation in the current fiscal year in the U.K. of our I-Stop urethral
sling product which accounted for approximately $101,000 in sales for the six
months ended September 30, 2009 and $191,000 in sales in fiscal 2009.
Net loss for the second fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2009 was $875,000,
or $0.06 per diluted share, versus a net loss of $561,000, or $0.04 per
diluted share for the second quarter of last year. For the first half of
fiscal 2010, the net loss was $2.2 million, or $0.15 per diluted share as
compared with a net loss for the first half of fiscal 2009 of $968,000, or
$0.06 per diluted share.
At September 30, 2009, cash and cash equivalents, and short-term investments
were $5.8 million compared with $6.3 million at June 30, 2009 and $7.8 million
as of March 31, 2009.
"Looking ahead, we expect U.S. sales of Macroplastique to continue to grow
during the remainder of the fiscal year as we expect to benefit from our
increased sales and marketing effort," continued Mr. Kaysen. "However, we do
not expect that we will be able to return to significant sales growth or
return to the historic sales level of Urgent PC in the U.S. until a new listed
CPT code is assigned and payors create coverage policies that provide adequate
reimbursement.
"For the past four quarters we have implemented a comprehensive program
designed to educate Medicare carriers and private payer medical directors
about the clinical efficacy of Urgent PC. I am pleased with how we have
executed this strategy, and we are well ahead of our planned publication and
presentation schedule. Phase I OrBIT data, published in September 2009
demonstrated that PTNS had comparable efficacy to the leading anticholinergic
drug prescribed for overactive bladder. The data demonstrating sustained
symptom improvement at one year from Phase 2 of the OrBIT study has been
accepted for publication in the January 2010 edition of The Journal of
Urology. With SUmiT study results available in spring 2010, we believe these
publications, as well as others, will lead the medical directors to reaffirm
or reinstate reimbursement, as well as aid us in our CPT Code application. Our
overall goal remains to obtain a unique CPT code that will encourage broader
use of Urgent PC. We are confident that we are moving closer toward attaining
that goal," Mr. Kaysen concluded.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures: The following table reconciles our financial
results calculated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted
in the U.S. (GAAP) to non-GAAP financial measures that exclude non-cash
charges for share-based compensation, and depreciation and amortization
expenses from gross profit, operating expenses and operating loss. The
non-GAAP financial measures used by management and disclosed by us are not a
substitute for, or superior to, financial measures and consolidated financial
results calculated in accordance with GAAP, and you should carefully evaluate
our reconciliations to non-GAAP. We may calculate our non-GAAP financial
measures differently from similarly titled measures used by other companies.
Therefore, our non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to those used
by other companies. We have described the reconciliations of each of our
non-GAAP financial measures above to the most directly comparable GAAP
financial measures.
We use these non-GAAP financial measures, and in particular non-GAAP operating
loss, for internal managerial purposes because we believe such measures are
one important indicator of the strength and the performance of our business as
they provide a link to operating cash flow. We also believe that analysts and
investors use such measures to evaluate the overall operating performance of
companies in our industry, including as a means of comparing period-to-period
results and as a means of evaluating our results with those of other
companies.
Our non-GAAP operating loss of approximately $475,000 for the three months
ended September 30, 2009 was greater than the $98,000 operating loss in same
period in fiscal 2009. Our non-GAAP operating loss was approximately
$1,390,000 for the six months ended September 30, 2009 compared to an
operating income of $8,000 in same period fiscal in 2009. We attribute the
increased operating loss primarily to the decrease in sales and a lower gross
margin rate, offset partially by a decrease in cash operating expenses.
