Executive Commentary – Scott Ward, Chairman, President and CEO

“Strong execution with the addition of new customers and deeper penetration of high volume cath labs combined with a decline in COVID cases across the nation allowed CSI to drive higher atherectomy volumes throughout the fourth quarter. As a result, we achieved double-digit sequential revenue growth in both our U.S. Peripheral and Coronary franchises.

“Our U.S. peripheral franchise delivered strong performance with a solid rebound in our hospital business and continued momentum in office-based labs. Revenue and units sold in both sites of service increased at double-digit rates sequentially compared to third quarter.

“The U.S. coronary franchise had another strong quarter with sequential growth of 12% driven by new customers and increased penetration of high-volume labs that focus on the treatment of complex coronary artery disease.

“Despite the continued impact of COVID-19, international revenue was stronger than expected at $3.7 million, with continued momentum in Japan and Europe.

“The sustained improvement in the state of the U.S. healthcare system combined with new product introductions and planned international expansion position CSI to forecast revenue growth of $295 million to $305 million in fiscal 22, representing growth of 14% to 18% compared to fiscal 21 revenue of $259 million.”

Q4 Financial Highlights

CSI’s fiscal 2021 fourth-quarter revenues were $71.0 million, representing an increase of $28.4 million, or 66.8%. Gross profit margin was 70.9% due to a one-time charge to cost of goods sold related to inventory and production-related adjustments as well as the normal upgrade of saline pumps that will be reaching end of service.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $45.7 million, an increase of $10.7 million, or 30.7%, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2020. Research and development expenses decreased 21.9% to $9.2 million due to patent-related charges incurred in the prior year period.

Fourth-quarter net loss of $5.3 million, or $0.14 per basic and diluted share, compared favorably to net loss of $15.2 million, or $0.43 per basic and diluted share, in the prior-year period. Adjusted EBITDA was break-even, as compared to a loss of $10.6 million in the prior year.

Fiscal Year 2021 Financial Highlights

CSI’s fiscal year 2021 revenues were $259.0 million, representing an increase of $22.4 million, or 9.5%. Gross profit margin was 76.4%.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $167.5 million, a decrease of $2.5 million, or 1.5%, compared to the year ended June 30, 2020. Research and development expenses of $41.1 million decreased $2.3 million, or 5.3%.

Net loss of $13.4 million, or $0.35 per basic and diluted share, compared favorably to net loss of $27.2 million, or $0.79 per basic and diluted share, in the prior-year period. Adjusted EBITDA was $12.0 million, as compared to a loss of $9.0 million in the prior year.

As of June 30, 2021, CSI had cash and marketable securities totaling $207.0 million and no long-term borrowings.

New Study Demonstrates Exceptional Performance With Diamondback 360® Coronary OAS Dual Mode of Action

As previously announced on May 20th, results from a real-world optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging study of coronary OAS patients were released at EuroPCR 2021.

About Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD)

As many as 18 million Americans, most over age 65, suffer from PAD, which is caused by the accumulation of plaque in peripheral arteries reducing blood flow. Symptoms include leg pain when walking or at rest. Left untreated, PAD can lead to severe pain, immobility, non-healing wounds and eventually limb amputation. With risk factors such as diabetes and obesity on the rise, the prevalence of PAD is growing at double-digit rates.

Millions of patients with PAD may benefit from treatment with orbital atherectomy utilizing the Stealth 360® and Diamondback 360® Peripheral Orbital Atherectomy Systems, minimally invasive catheter systems developed and manufactured by CSI. These systems use a diamond-coated crown, attached to an orbiting shaft, which sands away plaque while preserving healthy vessel tissue — a critical factor in preventing reoccurrences. Balloon angioplasty and stents have significant shortcomings in treating hard, calcified lesions. Stents are prone to fractures and high recurrence rates, and treatment of hard, calcified lesions often leads to vessel damage and suboptimal results.

About Coronary Artery Disease (CAD)

CAD is a life-threatening condition and a leading cause of death in men and women globally. CAD occurs when a fatty material called plaque builds up on the walls of arteries that supply blood to the heart. The plaque buildup causes the arteries to harden and narrow (atherosclerosis), reducing blood flow. The risk of CAD increases if a person has one or more of the following: high blood pressure, abnormal cholesterol levels, diabetes, or family history of early heart disease. According to the American Heart Association, 16.3 million people in the United States have been diagnosed with CAD, the most common form of heart disease. Heart disease claims more than 600,000 lives in the United States each year. According to estimates, significant arterial calcium is present in about 30 percent of patients undergoing a PCI. Significant calcium contributes to poor stent delivery, expansion and wall apposition leading to poor outcomes and higher treatment costs in coronary interventions when traditional therapies are used, including a significantly higher occurrence of death and major adverse cardiac events (MACE).

About Cardiovascular Systems, Inc.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement CSI's consolidated condensed financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP, CSI uses a non-GAAP financial measure referred to as "Adjusted EBITDA" in this release.

Reconciliations of this non-GAAP measure to the most comparable U.S. GAAP measure for the respective periods can be found in the following tables. In addition, an explanation of the manner in which CSI's management uses this measure to conduct and evaluate its business, the economic substance behind management's decision to use this measure, the substantive reasons why management believes that this measure provides useful information to investors, the material limitations associated with the use of this measure and the manner in which management compensates for those limitations is included following the reconciliation table.

Use and Economic Substance of Non-GAAP Financial Measures Used by CSI and Usefulness of Such Non-GAAP Financial Measures to Investors

CSI uses Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure of performance and believes this measure facilitates operating performance comparisons from period to period and company to company by factoring out potential differences caused by depreciation and amortization expense, stock-based compensation, and in-process research and development (IPR&D) charges. CSI's management uses Adjusted EBITDA to analyze the underlying trends in CSI's business, assess the performance of CSI's core operations, establish operational goals and forecasts that are used to allocate resources and evaluate CSI's performance period over period and in relation to its competitors' operating results. Additionally, CSI's management is evaluated on the basis of Adjusted EBITDA when determining achievement of their incentive compensation performance targets.

CSI believes that presenting Adjusted EBITDA provides investors greater transparency to the information used by CSI's management for its financial and operational decision-making and allows investors to see CSI's results "through the eyes" of management. CSI also believes that providing this information better enables CSI's investors to understand CSI's operating performance and evaluate the methodology used by CSI's management to evaluate and measure such performance.

The following is an explanation of each of the items that management excluded from Adjusted EBITDA and the reasons for excluding each of these individual items:

-- Stock-based compensation. CSI excludes stock-based compensation expense from its non-GAAP financial measures primarily because such expense, while constituting an ongoing and recurring expense, is not an expense that requires cash settlement. CSI's management also believes that excluding this item from CSI's non-GAAP results is useful to investors to understand the application of stock-based compensation guidance and its impact on CSI's operational performance, liquidity and its ability to make additional investments in the company, and it allows for greater transparency to certain line items in CSI's financial statements.

-- Depreciation and amortization expense. CSI excludes depreciation and amortization expense from its non-GAAP financial measures primarily because such expenses, while constituting ongoing and recurring expenses, are not expenses that require cash settlement and are not used by CSI's management to assess the core profitability of CSI's business operations. CSI's management also believes that excluding these items from CSI's non-GAAP results is useful to investors to understand CSI's operational performance, liquidity and its ability to make additional investments in the company.

-- IPR&D charges incurred in connection with asset acquisitions. CSI excludes charges incurred in connection with acquired IPR&D in asset acquisitions from its non-GAAP financial measures given the one-time nature of such expense, which is not used by CSI’s management to assess the core profitability of its business operations.

Material Limitations Associated with the Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Manner in which CSI Compensates for these Limitations

Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for CSI's financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Some of the limitations associated with CSI's use of these non-GAAP financial measures are:

-- Items such as stock-based compensation do not directly affect CSI's cash flow position; however, such items reflect economic costs to CSI and are not reflected in CSI's "Adjusted EBITDA" and therefore these non-GAAP measures do not reflect the full economic effect of these items.

-- Non-GAAP financial measures are not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles and therefore other companies may calculate similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures differently than CSI, limiting the usefulness of those measures for comparative purposes.

-- CSI's management exercises judgment in determining which types of charges or other items should be excluded from the non-GAAP financial measures CSI uses. CSI compensates for these limitations by relying primarily upon its GAAP results and using non-GAAP financial measures only supplementally. CSI provides full disclosure of each non-GAAP financial measure.

-- CSI provides detailed reconciliations of each non-GAAP measure to its most directly comparable GAAP measure. CSI encourages investors to review these reconciliations. CSI qualifies its use of non-GAAP financial measures with cautionary statements as set forth above.
