YOQNEAM, ISRAEL--(Marketwire - Aug 7, 2012) - Given Imaging Ltd. (NASDAQ: GIVN) today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2012. 

Revenues were $44.5 million in the second quarter of 2012, compared to $44.8 million in the second quarter of 2011. Excluding the negative impact of foreign currency translation, second quarter 2012 revenues were $46 million, a three percent increase compared to the same period last year. 

Gross margin on a GAAP basis in the second quarter of 2012 was 76.6 percent, compared to 75.5 percent in the second quarter of 2011. Gross margin on a non-GAAP basis in the second quarter of 2012 was 78.2 percent, compared to 76.0 percent in the second quarter of 2011. The increase in non-GAAP gross margin is attributable to higher production volume, and a more favorable product and geographic mix.

On a GAAP basis, operating profit was $3.4 million, compared to $2.5 million in the second quarter of 2011. Non-GAAP operating profit was $5.5 million, compared to $4.8 million in the second quarter of 2011. On a GAAP basis, net income for the second quarter of 2012 increased 59 percent to $3.0 million, or $0.10 per share, compared to $1.9 million, or $0.06 per share, in the same quarter of last year. On a non-GAAP basis, net income for the second quarter of 2012 increased 21 percent to $4.9 million, or $0.16 per share on a fully diluted basis, compared to $4.1 million, or $0.13 per share on a fully diluted basis, in the second quarter of 2011.

A reconciliation of GAAP results to non-GAAP results is attached.

Cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments and marketable securities on June 30, 2012 totaled $111.3 million.

"We are pleased that ongoing initiatives to maximize efficiencies resulted in a solid increase in second quarter GAAP and Non-GAAP earnings per share. Our top line revenue of $44.5 million reflects a six percent increase in revenues from the Americas region. However, revenue growth was offset by a challenging southern European market, the weakness of the Euro, as well as lower than anticipated revenue growth in the APAC region," said Homi Shamir, President and CEO, Given Imaging.

Recent Developments

  • PillCam COLON 2 Clinical Trials Update
    Given Imaging has completed the 885-patient PillCam COLON 2 clinical trial for submission to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). In the Company's view, its analysis of the data from the PillCam COLON 2 clinical trial in the U.S. support an FDA submission for visualization of the colon in patients who are unable to undergo colonoscopy or in cases of incomplete colonoscopies, rather than a submission for general screening.

    The Company plans to submit this product for FDA clearance in the fourth quarter of this year, following a meeting it plans to have with the FDA in the near future. Feedback from FDA may impact our planned submission.

    In Japan, the Company has completed the 72-patient PillCam COLON trial for submission to PMDA, the Japanese regulatory authority. The trial has been designed to evaluate the use of PillCam COLON for visualization of the gastrointestinal mucosa for diagnosis of colonic pathologies. Based on a preliminary review of the trial data, the Company believes the results support submission for the intended indication and plans to submit the results to PMDA in the fourth quarter of this year.

    The Company believes that submission for the proposed indications in the U.S. and Japan may provide a significant opportunity for Given Imaging, with an addressable market which is estimated by the Company to be $1.7 billion in our main markets, comprising 3.3 million procedures annually, one-third of which are in the U.S. and one-third in Japan.

    The Company continues to explore ways to expand the use of the PillCam COLON 2 capsule for a screening indication in the U.S.

    Given Imaging believes that it is on target toward achieving its goal of at least $450 million in annual revenues by 2016, which includes revenue projections for use of PillCam COLON for visualization of the colon as described above.

  • PillCam SB Expanded Indications Reimbursement
    Japan's Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare (MHLW) issued reimbursement codes for the PillCam Patency Capsule for use with PillCam SB and for the PillCam SB video capsule for expanded indications for those patients with known or suspected small bowel disease, including the visualization and diagnosis of Crohn's disease. Reimbursement is effective for the entire 105-million adult population as of July 1, 2012.

  • Korea Intellectual Property Tribunal Upholds Given Imaging Patents
    In July, the Intellectual Property Tribunal of the Korean Intellectual Property Office (KIPO) re-affirmed the validity of two Given Imaging Korean patents asserted against Intromedic Co. Ltd. in Seoul's Central District Court. Intromedic has appealed this decision. In the meantime, the infringement proceedings that have been stayed pending a resolution in the invalidity proceedings before the KIPO have been resumed. Rulings in these proceedings are expected by the end of this year.

2012 Guidance Update

As a result of ongoing economic weakness in Europe, associated with the weak Euro and the lower than forecast revenue in the Asia Pacific region in the first half of 2012, the Company is lowering its revenue guidance for fiscal year 2012 from between $190 million and $200 million to between $185 and $190 million. Despite lowering top-line guidance, the Company believes that initiatives to maximize profitability will enable the Company to achieve its earnings per share guidance of between $0.45 and $0.55 on a GAAP basis, and between $0.70 and $0.80 on a non-GAAP basis. However, the Company expects that 2012 earnings per share will be closer to the lower range of the guidance.

Use of Non-GAAP Measures

This press release provides financial measures for net income and basic and diluted earnings per share that exclude certain items and are therefore not calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance that enhances management's and investors' ability to evaluate the Company's net income and earnings per share and to compare it with historical net income and earnings per share.

The presentation of this non-GAAP financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. Management uses both GAAP and non-GAAP measures when evaluating the business internally and therefore felt it is important to make these non-GAAP adjustments available to investors.
