0

CryoLife, Inc. (NYSE:CRY),  a leading medical device and tissue processing company focused on cardiac surgery, announced today its results for the third quarter and first nine months of 2016.

Pat Mackin, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, “We posted strong financial and operating results in the third quarter by executing on our core goals and objectives.  These results demonstrate that our decision to expand the sales team through the acquisition of On-X and focus on the cardiac surgery market is facilitating cross-selling opportunities and broadening awareness of our On-X valves, as anticipated.  Our results were strengthened by our initiative to transition to a direct sales model in several key markets in Europe.  We also made solid progress advancing our other 2016 key initiatives.  The enhancements to our tissue processing operations are improving our ability to meet the strong demand for our tissue products, particularly for vascular tissue, which represents a near-term growth opportunity.  In addition, we expect to resume enrollment in the PerClot IDE trial during the fourth quarter of 2016, keeping us on track for potential FDA approval for this product in the first half of 2019.  Looking forward, we expect to finish the year with a solid fourth quarter and deliver meaningful revenue growth and additional margin expansion in 2017.”

Revenues for the third quarter of 2016 increased 23 percent to $45.3 million, compared to $36.7 million for the third quarter of 2015.  The increase was primarily driven by the acquisition of On-X Life Technologies (On-X) in January 2016, along with revenue increases in BioGlue and cardiac tissues.  Non-GAAP revenues for the third quarter of 2016 increased six percent compared

to the third quarter of 2015.  A reconciliation of GAAP financial metrics to non-GAAP financial metrics is included as part of this press release.

Revenues for the first nine months of 2016 increased 28 percent to $135.4 million, compared to $106.1 million for the first nine months of 2015.  The increase was primarily driven by the acquisition of On-X, along with revenue increases in BioGlue and in cardiac and vascular tissues.  Non-GAAP revenues for the first nine months of 2016 increased eight percent compared to the first nine months of 2015.

GAAP net income for the third quarter of 2016 was $3.0 million, or $0.09 per basic and fully diluted common share, compared to net income of $2.1 million, or $0.08 per basic and $0.07 per fully diluted common share, for the third quarter of 2015.  Non-GAAP net income for the third quarter of 2016 was $4.4 million, or $0.13 per fully diluted common share, compared to non-GAAP net income of $3.3 million, or $0.11 per fully diluted common share for the third quarter of 2015. 

GAAP net income for the first nine months of 2016 was $7.9 million, or $0.24 per basic and fully diluted common share, compared to net income of $1.4 million, or $0.05 per basic and fully diluted common share, for the first nine months of 2015.  Non-GAAP net income for the first nine months of 2016 was $12.0 million, or $0.36 per fully diluted common share, compared to non-GAAP net income of $4.7 million, or $0.16 per fully diluted common share for the first nine months of 2015.
