Nevro Reports Second Quarter 2019 Financial Results


REDWOOD CITY, Calif., Aug. 8, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Nevro Corp. (NYSE: NVRO), a global medical device company that is providing innovative, evidence-based solutions for the treatment of chronic pain, today reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2019.

Revenue for the second quarter of 2019 was $93.6 million, a 3% decrease compared to $96.1 million during the prior year period. U.S. revenue for the second quarter of 2019 was $78.1 million, a 2% decrease compared to $79.9 million in the prior year period. The year-over-year decrease in U.S. revenue was primarily driven by the impact of customer destocking associated with the Company's previously announced decision to alter its practice regarding certain high-volume product orders.  International revenue was $15.5 million compared to $16.2 million in the prior year period. This represents a 4% decrease on an as-reported basis and a 2% increase on a constant currency basis.

"Our second quarter 2019 financial results demonstrate sequential improvement across the board, as well as some encouraging early signs of progress in our commercial execution, including patient treatment activity with our customers.  In the U.S., we saw a year-over-year increase in patient trial procedures of 15%, while permanent implant procedures grew 10% over the prior year period," said D. Keith Grossman, Chairman, CEO and President. "I remain confident that as we continue to refine our commercial strategies and execution, prepare for our upcoming new product launches and drive interest in HF10 therapy, we will be well-positioned to enter our next phase of growth as we move into late 2019 and enter 2020."

Gross profit for the second quarter of 2019 was $63.9 million, a 6% decrease compared to $67.9 million in the prior year period. Gross margin was 68% in the second quarter of 2019 compared to 71% in the prior year period.

Operating expenses for the second quarter of 2019 were $90.5 million, a 19% increase compared to $76.1 million in the prior year period. The year-over-year increase in operating expenses was primarily driven by U.S. sales and marketing personnel costs, as well as clinical trial-related expenses. Legal expenses associated with patent litigation were $3.9 million for the second quarter of 2019, compared to $5.8 million in the prior year period.

Net loss from operations for the second quarter of 2019 was $26.6 million, compared to $8.2 million in the prior year period.

Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments totaled $233.9 million as of June 30, 2019. Net cash used during the second quarter of 2019 was $5.7 million and $30.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019.

Full Year 2019 Financial Guidance
Nevro currently expects 2019 worldwide revenues to be in the $368 to $374 million range.  Gross margin is expected to be in the high 60's as a percent of revenue.
