LAWRENCE, Mass., Feb. 28, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --

Highlights:

  • Full-Year Revenue Increases to $366 million, up 9% from 2015
  • Full-Year Home Revenue Increases to $209 million, up over 14% from 2015
  • Full-Year Operating Income from Products Business More than Doubles to $23 million
  • Outlook for 2017 Includes Strong Revenue Growth and Total Company Profitability
  • Company Continues to Target Introduction of Peritoneal Dialysis System at End of 2017

NxStage Medical, Inc. (Nasdaq: NXTM), a leading medical technology company focused on advancing renal care, today reported record revenue for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, topping its recent upwardly revised revenue guidance.

Fourth Quarter Financial Results

Total revenue for the fourth quarter of 2016 increased 4 percent from 2015 to a record $93.0 million, which exceeded the Company's guidance of $92 million. Net loss attributable to NxStage's stockholders was $1.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2016, compared with a net loss of $2.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2015. The net loss for the fourth quarter was within its guidance range for a net loss of $1 to $2 million and included $4.9 million of income from operations from NxStage's Products Business.

Fiscal Year 2016 Financial Results

Total revenue for the full-year 2016 increased 9 percent from 2015 to a record $366.4 million, which exceeded the top end of the Company's revenue guidance range of $360 to $365 million. Net loss attributable to NxStage's stockholders improved to $4.8 million for the full-year 2016, compared with a net loss of $15.3 million for the full-year 2015. NxStage's Products Business achieved $22.7 million in income from operations for the full-year 2016, which more than doubled compared to 2015. Income from the Products Business was offset again in 2016 by losses in connection with the Company's continued investment in NxStage Kidney Care.

The Company's performance improvements in both periods were driven by the Products Business, and more specifically, the System One segment which consists of Home and Critical Care markets. For the full-year 2016, System One revenue increased 15 percent to $283.9 million. Home revenue increased over 14 percent to $208.6 million, reflecting over half of a point of unfavorable foreign exchange impact due to the weakening of the British Pound, as expected. Critical Care revenue increased 16 percent to $75.3 million.

"NxStage had a terrific fourth quarter, finishing off a great 2016.  It's an exciting time at NxStage. Our focus on innovation and execution is delivering the results we talked about and setting the foundation for the next wave of growth. Most importantly, we believe our efforts are having a positive impact on patient lives," said Jeff Burbank, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of NxStage. "We expect this momentum to continue in 2017. For the fourth consecutive year we're targeting 15% annual home revenue growth, above market growth in critical care and solid top line revenue growth for the total company. We're also guiding to total company profitability in 2017."

Burbank continued, "We're excited about 2017 and are pleased to see our product pipeline development efforts continue to progress. We have many milestones on the horizon, including the introduction of our PD system targeted for the end of this year. We look forward to another great year."

Guidance

The Company is forecasting revenue to be between $400 and $405 million for the full fiscal year 2017, and between $95 and $97 million for the first quarter of 2017. The Company also expects to have positive net income for the full fiscal year 2017, and a net loss in the range of $1 to $3 million for the first quarter of 2017.

About NxStage
NxStage Medical, Inc. (Nasdaq: NXTM) is a leading medical technology company, headquartered in Lawrence, Massachusetts, USA, that develops, manufactures and markets innovative products for the treatment of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and acute kidney failure. NxStage has also established a small number of dialysis clinics committed to the development of innovative care delivery models for patients with ESRD.

About the NxStage System One
The NxStage System One is the first and only truly portable hemodialysis system cleared specifically by the FDA for home hemodialysis and home nocturnal hemodialysis. Its simplicity and revolutionary size (just over a foot tall) are intended to allow convenient use in patients' homes and give patients the freedom to travel with their therapy. When combined with the NxStage PureFlow SL Dialysis Preparation System, patients are able to further simplify, using ordinary tap water to create dialysis fluid on demand. Unlike conventional hemodialysis systems, the System One requires no special infrastructure to operate. Under the guidance of their physician, patients can use the NxStage System One, with their trained partners, where, how and when it best meets their needs, including while they are sleeping - at home or on vacation and at a medically appropriate treatment frequency. In addition, NxStage's Nx2Me Connected Health platform collects important NxStage System One and patient information for flexible viewing, monitoring and reporting that may improve patient management and simplify alternative site care. The System One is also used to provide a range of flexible therapy options in more traditional care settings such as hospitals and dialysis centers. Its safety and efficacy have been demonstrated by experience with more than 14 million treatments with thousands of patients around the world.  http://www.nxstage.com/.
