Urologix Reports Third Quarter of Fiscal Year 2010 Results

Urologix®, Inc. (NASDAQ:ULGX), a medical device company that develops, manufactures and markets minimally invasive Cooled ThermoTherapy™ treatment catheters that provide a durable and effective procedure delivered in the comfort of an urologist’s office for patients suffering from benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), today reported financial results for the fiscal 2010 third quarter ended March 31, 2010.

2010 Third Quarter Financial Results

Revenue for the third quarter ended March 31, 2010 was $3.6 million, or 8 percent more than the $3.3 million reported in the same quarter of fiscal year 2009. Revenue was 12 percent less than the $4.1 million reported in the second quarter of fiscal year 2010. The increase in revenue over the third quarter of fiscal year 2009 was due to increased sales in all distribution channels: direct, third party mobile service, and Urologix mobile service. The decrease in revenue over the second quarter of fiscal 2010 was due to decreased sales in all Urologix distribution channels.

"Our year-over-year growth points to the continued steady improvement in our business. This was achieved with lower operating expenses and improved gross margins. However, after the prior three quarters of sequential growth we were challenged by the sequential decline in volume evident this quarter. We believe distinct events affected our results this quarter, including physicians’ concern around the future of Medicare Payment rates. Though these challenges in part relate to the overall economic climate and global issues related to payment for healthcare, we are taking action to identify and address these challenges through various marketing and sales activities,” stated Stryker Warren jr., CEO.

Net loss for the third quarter was $597,000, or a loss of $0.04 per diluted share, a decrease of $604,000 or 50 percent when compared to the net loss of $1.2 million or $0.08 per diluted share for the third quarter of fiscal 2009. Net loss increased $324,000 when compared to the net loss of $273,000 or $0.02 per diluted share in the second quarter of fiscal year 2010.

Cash utilized in the third quarter of fiscal year 2010 was $247,000. The Company’s cash balance was $5.8 million as of March 31, 2010, which management considers sufficient to fund the Company’s operations beyond the next 12 months.

In the third quarter of fiscal year 2010, revenue derived from the Urologix mobile service represented 46 percent of overall revenue, compared to 48 percent in the second quarter of fiscal 2010. Revenue from catheter sales to direct accounts contributed 36 percent of overall revenue in the third quarter of fiscal 2010, as compared to 35 percent in the second quarter of fiscal 2010. Third party mobile revenue represented approximately 15 percent of overall revenue in the third quarter of fiscal 2010, consistent with the second quarter of this fiscal year.

Gross profit for the third quarter of fiscal 2010 was $2.0 million, or 55 percent of revenue, compared to $1.7 million or 50 percent of revenue for the third quarter of fiscal 2009 and $2.3 million or 57 percent of revenue in the second quarter of fiscal 2010. The increase in gross margin compared to the prior year period is primarily the result of cost benefits from increased production volumes in response to increased demand. The decline in gross margin from the second quarter of this fiscal year is primarily attributable to an inventory adjustment.

Operating expenses for the third quarter of fiscal 2010 decreased $283,000, or 10 percent, when compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2009 attributable to expense management. Operating expenses remained relatively consistent, decreasing $35,000, or one percent, when compared with the second quarter of fiscal 2010.

"The third quarter of fiscal year 2010 presented challenges to Urologix. We continually speak with urologists who recognize the clear difference Urologix provides compared to alternative therapies, including both competitive devices and chronic medication. We have developed leading technology supported by strong clinical evidence that delivers value to patients, physicians and payors. Our mission is to expand patient access to our technology by educating these same constituents that Urologix’ Cooled ThermoTherapy™ is an effective, safe and cost effective treatment option that can provide superior clinical outcomes with long term durability. Focusing upon this objective, we will continue to remind the urologist that Urologix is the reliable choice: reliable product, reliable people and reliable outcomes,” stated Stryker Warren, jr., CEO.
