(Street sees Q3 revenue of $40.21 million)
Revenue from the Company’s exclusive cervical products is expected to be approximately $27.5 million, an increase of 21.0% over the third quarter of 2014, or an increase of 25.2% on a constant currency basis, due principally to the growth from sales of the Mobi-C® Cervical Disc. Additionally, revenue from LDR's exclusive lumbar products is expected to be approximately $9.2 million, a decrease of 1.5% over the third quarter of 2014, or an increase of 0.5% on a constant currency basis.
Christophe Lavigne, President and Chief Executive Officer of LDR, commented, “I am pleased with the growth from our exclusive technology products during the third quarter of 2015, which grew 18% on a constant currency basis. We continue to execute on our exclusive technology strategy, with 93.5% of total revenue in the third quarter of 2015 generated by our cervical and lumbar exclusive technology products compared to 89.4% in the third quarter of 2014. This reflects the growing demand for Mobi-C and our VerteBRIDGE® platform technologies. Seasonality was more pronounced in the third quarter of 2015 compared to the third quarter of 2014. Any seasonality impact in the prior year quarter was muted given that it was the first full year of Mobi-C commercial launch in the United States.”
2015 Guidance
Based on LDR’s preliminary results for the quarter ended September 30, 2015, the Company is reaffirming its expected revenue growth for the full year 2015 to be in the range of 19.0% to 20.0%, before any foreign exchange impact. This implies revenues, before any foreign exchange impact, in the range of approximately $168.1 million to $169.5 million for the full year 2015. Based on current foreign exchange rates, changes in foreign exchange rates are expected to negatively impact 2015 revenue by 4.0% to 5.0%.
