Second Quarter 2021 Overview

• Entered into a definitive agreement with Medtronic, in which Medtronic will acquire all outstanding shares of Intersect ENT.
• Revenue of $27.3 million in the second quarter of 2021, up 180%, compared to $9.8 million in the second quarter of 2020.
• Record quarterly SINUVA revenue of $2.7 million.
• Global Navigation and Balloon portfolio generated quarterly revenue of $1.6 million.
• Cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, and short-term investments were $76.2 million as of June 30, 2021.

Total revenue was $27.3 million for the second quarter of 2021, up 180%, compared to $9.8 million for the same period of 2020, and above second quarter 2019 revenue of $26.7 million. This year-on-year increase was attributable to increased PROPEL^® revenue resulting from a significant recovery in demand from the COVID-19 pandemic on elective surgical procedures. In addition, the Company generated record SINUVA^® revenue from improved access and coverage and a shift in sinus procedures towards ambulatory surgery centers and the office setting of care. Revenue for the PROPEL family of products for the quarter was $23.1 million. Second quarter revenue for SINUVA was $2.7 million, up significantly from the same period a year ago. The Company also realized $1.6 million of revenue from its Global Navigation and Balloon product portfolio.

“Second quarter revenue growth reflected our expanded commercial activities and the gradual resumption of elective sinus procedures,” said Thomas A. West, President and CEO of Intersect ENT. “During the quarter, our PROPEL franchise experienced healthy sequential growth, SINUVA scored another record quarter, and our Global Navigation and Balloon portfolio provided encouraging contributions to our top-line. We believe our comprehensive portfolio of products will continue to bring innovative treatment solutions to patients worldwide.”

Gross profit for the second quarter of 2021 was $19.0 million and gross margin was 69.5%, compared to gross profit of $2.4 million and gross margin of 24.8% for the same period of 2020. Adjusted gross profit and adjusted gross margin for the second quarter of 2021 was $19.5 million and 71.3%, respectively, excluding the impact of intangible asset amortization. There were no adjustments in the same period of 2020.

Operating expenses for the second quarter of 2021 were $35.1 million, compared to $23.5 million in the same period of 2020. R&D expenses increased to $6.4 million from $4.0 million for the same period of 2020 reflecting increased clinical activities and expenses associated with the Company’s newly acquired Fiagon portfolio, and other related expenses. SG&A expenses increased to $28.7 million from $19.5 million for the same period of 2020 due to recovery of sales and marketing and back-office activities from early pandemic levels, as well as IT transformation investments and the consolidation of Fiagon.

Net loss for the second quarter of 2021 was $16.6 million, or $0.50 per share, and adjusted net loss was $16.4 million, or $0.49 per share, compared to a net loss of $23.1 million, or $0.71 per share, and adjusted net loss of $21.1 million, or $0.65 per share, in the same period of 2020. Adjusted net loss for the second quarter of 2021 excludes a $0.7 million gain on embedded derivatives and $0.2 million of integration costs associated with the Fiagon acquisition, offset by $0.7 million of intangible asset amortization expense, while adjusted net loss for the same period of 2020 excludes a $1.8 million loss on embedded derivatives and $0.2 million of restructuring costs.

The balance of cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, and short-term investments as of June 30, 2021 was $76.2 million, compared to $105.5 million at the start of the year.

Non-GAAP Measures vs. GAAP Financial Measures

This release contains financial measures, adjusted gross profit, adjusted gross margin, and adjusted net loss, that are not calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). A reconciliation of non-GAAP to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, is provided in the financial schedules portion at the end of this press release. Non-GAAP financial measures differ from GAAP financial measures and may differ from non-GAAP financial measures with the same or similar captions that are used by other companies. As such, non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.

The Company uses non-GAAP financial measures to analyze its operating performance and future prospects, develop internal budgets and financial goals, and to facilitate period-to-period comparisons. The Company believes that non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors as they reflect an additional way of viewing aspects of its operations that, when viewed with its GAAP results, provide a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting its business.
