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 2016.
ALF-X Commercial Update
On July 29, 2016, the Company closed its first sale of the ALF-X® Surgical Robotic System to Humanitas Hospital, a highly-specialized research and teaching hospital partnered with Humanitas University Medical School, located in Milan, Italy.
"We are very pleased with the progress we’ve made in the commercialization of ALF-X during the quarter, as well as having closed our first ALF-X sale in July," said Todd M. Pope, President and Chief Executive Officer of TransEnterix. "We remain enthusiastic about the potential of ALF-X, and will continue to invest in global commercial expansion, including preparing for its 510(k) submission."
Financial Highlights
On a consolidated GAAP basis, for the three months ended June 30, 2016, the Company reported total operating expenses of $80.7 million. These results included one-time restructuring charges of $5.6 million, of which $5.2 million were non-cash, as well as a non-cash charge for goodwill impairment of $61.8 million. Adjusted operating expenses excluding these charges were $13.3 million as compared to $9.1 million during the three months ended June 30, 2015. Total adjusted operating expenses increased primarily as a result of increased investment into the commercialization of the ALF-X. Adjusted operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2016 included research and development expenses of $6.4 million, sales and marketing expenses of $1.3 million, general and administrative expenses of $2.9 million, amortization of intangible assets of $1.8 million and change in contingent consideration of $0.9 million.
On a consolidated GAAP basis, for the three months ended June 30, 2016, net loss was $80.1 million and net loss per share was $0.70. Excluding the restructuring and goodwill impairment charges, adjusted net loss was $12.7 million or $0.11 per share.
The Company had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $64.6 million as of June 30, 2016, and approximately $61.0 million as of July 31, 2016. The Company expects its existing cash and cash equivalents to fund operations through the third quarter of 2017.

Non-GAAP Measures
The adjusted operating expenses and adjusted net loss presented in this press release are non-GAAP measures. In the tables that follow under “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures”, we present Adjusted Operating Expenses and Adjusted Net Loss, reconciled to their comparable GAAP measures. These financial measures are presented on a basis other than in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“Non-GAAP Measures”). These items are adjusted because they are not operational or because these charges are non-cash or non-recurring and management believes they are meaningful to understanding the Company’s performance during the periods presented. These Non-GAAP Measures should be considered a supplement to, not a substitute for, or superior to, the corresponding financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.

The non-GAAP adjustments for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 include the following:
a.) Goodwill impairment - the negative FDA response on the SurgiBot in April 2016 obligated us to conduct an impairment analysis of our goodwill during the second quarter. A significant input to this analysis was that our market value fell below our book value during the second quarter. Based on this analysis, we recorded a non-cash goodwill impairment loss of $61.8 million during the second quarter.
b.) Restructuring and other charges - as a result of our decision to reprioritize our efforts to focus on commercialization and regulatory clearance of the ALF-X system, the Company implemented a restructuring plan resulting in $3.1 million of restructuring charges. The non-cash restructuring charges amounted to $2.6 million related primarily to intellectual property and fixed assets. Cash restructuring charges were $0.5 million, primarily related to severance.
c.) Inventory write-down related to restructuring - as a result of our decision to reprioritize our efforts to focus on commercialization and regulatory clearance of the ALF-X system, the Company implemented a restructuring plan resulting in non-cash charges related to inventory write-down of $2.6 million.
