- Raised 2016 net sales guidance to a range of $105 million to $107 million from prior guidance range of $100 million to $102 million
“We are extremely pleased and excited about the way ophthalmic surgeons are embracing our flagship iStent® Trabecular Micro Bypass stent to effectively manage glaucoma patients’ intraocular pressure,” said Thomas Burns, president and chief executive officer of Glaukos. “Our second quarter results illustrate the continuing momentum of iStent’s adoption ramp, driven by our efforts to grow our customer base, expand the body of clinical evidence that demonstrates iStent’s reliable performance and extend our reach to key international markets.”
Second Quarter 2016 Financial Results
Net sales rose 61% in the second quarter of 2016 to $28.6 million, compared to $17.8 million in the same period in 2015. The growth primarily reflected increased iStent utilization across the company’s expanding customer base.
Gross margin for the second quarter of 2016 rose to approximately 85%, compared to approximately 82% in the same period in 2015. The company’s ability to leverage its fixed manufacturing costs and intangible asset amortization relative to its higher sales contributed to the increase in gross margin in the second quarter, along with the 2016-2017 suspension of the medical device excise tax under the PATH (Protecting Americans from Tax Hikes) Act.
Operating expenses for the second quarter of 2016 were $22.1 million, up 11% compared to $19.9 million in the same period of 2015. Growth in operating expenses continues to reflect the company’s ongoing expansion of its global infrastructure with the addition of foreign subsidiaries and increase in domestic sales, marketing and administrative personnel.
Income from operations was $2.1 million in the second quarter of 2016, compared to a loss from operations of $5.4 million in the second quarter of 2015. Net income attributable to Glaukos Corporation in the second quarter of 2016 was $2.3 million, compared to a net loss attributable to Glaukos Corporation of $31.9 million in the second quarter of 2015, which included a $25.7 million charge associated with the acquisition of the iDose product line and related assets from DOSE Medical Corporation in June 2015. Diluted net income per share for the second quarter of 2016 was $0.06, compared to a diluted net loss per share of $10.96 in the second quarter of 2015.
2016 Revenue Guidance
The company raised its 2016 net sales guidance to a range of $105 million to $107 million from its prior guidance of $100 million to $102 million. The revised guidance implies growth in 2016 net sales of approximately 46% to 49%, compared to 2015.
