MASON, Ohio, November 1, 2018 – AtriCure, Inc. (Nasdaq: ATRC), a leading innovator in treatments for atrial fibrillation (Afib) and left atrial appendage (LAA) management, today announced third quarter 2018 financial results.
“We are pleased with our third quarter performance and building track record of strong, consistent, revenue growth,” said Mike Carrel, President and Chief Executive Officer of AtriCure. “We remain confident that our focus on clinical data, education and innovation will continue to position the company for long term success.”
Third Quarter 2018 Financial Results
Revenue for the third quarter of 2018 was $49.9 million, an increase of $7.8 million or 18.5% (18.6% on a constant currency basis), compared to the third quarter of 2017. U.S. revenue increased 19.1% to $39.8 million, driven by increased sales of open-heart ablation products and appendage management products. International revenue was $10.2 million, an increase of $1.4 million or 16.2% (16.9% on a constant currency basis), compared to the third quarter of 2017, driven primarily by increased sales in European markets.
Gross profit for the third quarter of 2018 was $35.9 million compared to $30.9 million for the third quarter of 2017. Gross margin for the third quarter of 2018 decreased to 72.0% compared to 73.4% in the third quarter of 2017, driven primarily by a one-time charge for share-based compensation related to a retiring operations leader, as well as product mix.
Operating expenses for the third quarter of 2018 increased 11.2%, or $4.2 million, compared to the third quarter of 2017. The increase in operating expenses was primarily due to increased costs associated with personnel, as well as research and development project spend, partially offset by lower meeting and demonstration product costs, and an adjustment to contingent consideration.
Loss from operations for the third quarter of 2018 was $6.0 million, compared to a loss of $6.8 million for the third quarter of 2017. Net loss per share was $0.22 for both the third quarter of 2018 and 2017. The adjusted loss per share for the third quarter of 2018, which excludes the contingent consideration adjustment, was $0.24.
Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, was a loss of $0.5 million for the third quarter of 2018 and a loss of $1.0 million for the third quarter of 2017. See reconciliation of GAAP results to non-GAAP results in the table accompanying this release.
2018 Financial Guidance
Revenue for 2018 is projected to be approximately $198 million to $201 million. Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, is now projected to be a loss in the range of $1.0 million to $3.0 million. Net loss per share is projected to be in the range of $0.69 to $0.74.

AtriCure will host a conference call at 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time on Thursday, November 1, 2018 to discuss its third quarter 2018 financial results.

Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains “forward-looking statements”– that is, statements related to future events that by their nature address matters that are uncertain. For details on the uncertainties that may cause our actual results to be materially different than those expressed in our forward-looking statements, visit http://www.atricure.com/fls as well as our Annual Reports on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q which contain risk factors. We do not undertake to update our forward-looking statements. This document also includes forward-looking projected financial information that is based on current estimates and forecasts. Actual results could differ materially.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement AtriCure’s condensed consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP, AtriCure uses certain non-GAAP financial measures in this release as supplemental financial metrics.
Revenue reported on a constant currency basis is a non-GAAP measure and is calculated by applying previous period foreign currency exchange rates, which are determined by the average daily Euro to Dollar exchange rate, to each of the comparable periods. Management analyzes revenue on a constant currency basis to better measure the comparability of results between periods. Because changes in foreign currency exchange rates have a non-operating impact on revenue, the Company believes that evaluating growth in revenue on a constant currency basis provides an additional and meaningful assessment of revenue to both management and the company’s investors.
Adjusted EBITDA provides an indication of performance excluding certain items. Management believes that in order to properly understand short-term and long-term financial trends, investors may wish to consider the impact of these excluded items in addition to GAAP measures. The excluded items vary in frequency and/or impact on our continuing operations and management believes that the excluded items are typically not reflective of our ongoing core business operations. Further, management uses adjusted EBITDA for its strategic planning. A reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA reported in this release to the most comparable GAAP measure for the respective periods can be found in a table later in this release.
Adjusted loss per share is a non-GAAP measure which calculates the net loss per share before non-cash adjustments to expenses related to the adjustment in value of the contingent consideration liability. Management believes this metric provides a better measure of comparability of results between periods, as such adjustments are not frequent in nature or similar in value, and can be significant. A reconciliation of adjusted loss per share reported in this release to the most comparable GAAP measure for the respective periods can be found in a table later in this release.
The non-GAAP financial measures used by AtriCure may not be the same or calculated the same as those used by other companies. Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for AtriCure’s financial results prepared and reported in accordance with GAAP.
