Intersect ENT, Inc. (NASDAQ:XENT), a company dedicated to improving the quality of life for patients with ear, nose and throat conditions, today reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2018.
Third Quarter Financial Results
Total revenue grew to $24.7 million for the third quarter 2018 compared to $22.3 million for the same period of 2017, an increase of 11%. This increase was attributable to growth in the adoption of the PROPEL® family of steroid releasing implants as well as to commercialization of the SINUVA® (mometasone furoate) Sinus Implant, which contributed over 3% of revenue, or $0.8 million, in the third quarter of 2018.
Gross profit for the third quarter 2018 was $19.5 million and gross margin was 79%, compared to gross profit of $18.5 million and gross margin of 83% for the third quarter of 2017. The decrease in gross margin was attributable to increased overhead and inefficiencies primarily associated with the introduction of SINUVA.
Operating expenses for the third quarter 2018 were $27.6 million, compared to $23.1 million in the same period of 2017, an increase of 20%. R&D expenses increased to $4.9 million from $4.3 million due to an increase in headcount expense and clinical trial activities. SG&A expenses increased to $22.8 million from $18.7 million, primarily due to an increase in headcount expense.
The balance of cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments was $104.0 million compared to $102.3 million at the start of the year.
Outlook
Intersect ENT continues to forecast 2018 revenue in the range of $106 to $109 million and gross margin of approximately 80%. The outlook for operating expenses is lowered to $110 to $111 million, from $113 to $115 million, reflecting timing of hiring and other expenses. The fourth quarter revenue outlook is in the range of $30.3 to $33.3 million, of which approximately 4% is expected from sales of the SINUVA (mometasone furoate) Sinus Implant.
