PLEASANTON, Calif., May 06, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Natus Medical Incorporated (NASDAQ:NTUS) (the “Company” or “Natus”), a leading provider of medical device solutions focused on the diagnosis and treatment of central nervous and sensory system disorders for patients of all ages, today announced financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2021.

For the first quarter ended March 31, 2021, the Company reported revenue of $114.9 million, an increase of 5.1% compared to $109.4 million reported for the first quarter 2020. GAAP gross margin was 57.9% during the first quarter of 2021 compared to 57.4% in the first quarter 2020. GAAP net income was $2.4 million, or $0.07 earnings per diluted share, compared with GAAP net loss of $3.6 million, or $0.11 loss per share in the first quarter 2020.

Non-GAAP gross margin was 59.6% in the first quarter 2021 compared to 59.2% reported for the first quarter of 2020. Non-GAAP earnings per diluted share was $0.16 for the first quarter 2021, compared to $0.04 in the first quarter 2020. Non-GAAP net income was $5.4 million in the first quarter 2021 compared to $1.3 million in the first quarter 2020.

“Our revenues in the first quarter of 2021 grew 5% compared to first quarter in 2020, which was impacted by the pandemic late in the quarter. Our Neuro, Newborn Care and Hearing and Balance end markets all experienced growth compared to the first quarter of 2020. Our Non-GAAP earnings per share grew significantly from the first quarter of 2020 and 100% compared to the first quarter of 2019 on similar revenues, as a result of the operating expense improvements we delivered over the last two years,” said Jonathan Kennedy, President and Chief Executive Officer of Natus.

“We are optimistic in the pace of our revenue recovery in 2021 compared to 2020. We continue to believe our efforts to reduce our cost structure and continued investments in new products will drive long term revenue growth and profitability. We see strong customer interest in our newly released Retcam® Envision and Algo® 7i newborn hearing screener and our Otoscan® digital ear scanner continues to build momentum in the market,” Mr. Kennedy concluded.

Financial Guidance

For the second quarter 2021, the Company’s revenue is expected to be between $112.0 million and $116.0 million and non-GAAP earnings per share is expected to be between $0.26 and $0.32.

For the full year 2021, the Company’s revenue is expected to be between $463.5 million and $473.5 million and non-GAAP earnings per share is expected to be between $1.11 and $1.26.

The Company’s non-GAAP earnings per share guidance excludes charges for amortization expense associated with intangible assets from prior acquisitions, certain other expenses, and related tax effect, which the Company expects to be approximately $4.4 million and $16.0 million for the second quarter 2021 and full year, respectively, which the Company expects will reduce GAAP earnings per share by approximately $0.13 and $0.47 for the respective periods.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company presents in this release its non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP earnings per diluted share, non-GAAP gross margin and non-GAAP operating margin results which exclude amortization expense associated with certain acquisition-related intangibles, restructuring charges, certain discrete items, direct costs of acquisitions, and the related tax effects. A reconciliation between non-GAAP and GAAP financial measures is included in this press release.

The Company believes that the presentation of results excluding these charges or gains provides meaningful supplemental information to both management and investors that is indicative of the Company’s core operating results and better reflects the ongoing economics of the Company’s operations. The Company believes these non-GAAP financial measures facilitate comparison of operating results across reporting periods.

Specifically, the Company excludes the following charges, gains, and their related tax effects in the calculation of non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP earnings per diluted share and non-GAAP operating profit: 1) Non-cash amortization expense associated with certain acquisition-related intangibles. The charges reflect an estimate of the cost of acquired intangible assets over their estimated useful lives. 2) Restructuring and other non-recurring charges. The Company has over time completed multiple acquisitions of other companies and businesses. Following an acquisition, the Company will, as it determines appropriate, initiate restructuring events to eliminate redundant costs. Restructuring expenses, which are excluded in the non-GAAP items, are exclusively related to permanent reductions in our workforce and redundant facility closures. Other non-recurring costs are associated with the transition of the executive management team. These costs can include stock compensation from accelerated vesting of stock, severance payouts and related payroll expenses. 3) Certain discrete items. These items represent significant infrequent charges or gains that management believes should be viewed outside of normal operating results, and each significant discrete transaction is evaluated to determine whether it should be excluded from non-GAAP reporting. These items are specifically identified when they occur. 4) Direct costs of acquisitions. These are direct acquisition-related costs that occur when the Company makes an acquisition, such as professional fees, due diligence costs, and earn-out adjustments.

The Company applies GAAP methodologies in computing its non-GAAP tax provision by determining the annual expected effective tax rate after taking into account items excluded for non-GAAP financial reporting purposes. The Company’s non-GAAP tax expense and its non-GAAP effective tax rate are generally higher than its GAAP tax expense and GAAP effective tax rate because the income subject to taxes would be higher due to the effect of the expenses excluded from non-GAAP financial reporting. The nature of each quarterly discrete transaction will be evaluated to determine whether it should be excluded from non-GAAP reporting.

The Company’s management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing the Company’s performance and when planning, forecasting, and analyzing future periods and the Company believes that investors also benefit from being able to refer to these non-GAAP financial measures along with the GAAP operating results. These non-GAAP financial measures also facilitate management’s internal comparisons to the Company’s historical performance. The non-GAAP financial measures disclosed by the Company should not be considered a substitute for or superior to financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP, and the financial results calculated in accordance with GAAP and reconciliations to those financial statements should be carefully evaluated.
