Endologix, Inc. (NASDAQ: ELGX), a developer and marketer of innovative treatments for aortic disorders, today announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2018.
“Our top-line performance during the first quarter reflects slightly better-than-expected growth in our OUS business driven by solid AFX growth in both the European and CAPLA markets. In the U.S. market, a decline in our AFX business was partially offset by continued growth in our Ovation business,” commented Vaseem Mahboob, Endologix’s Chief Financial Officer. “On the product development and clinical side, we successfully completed enrollment of the first patient in our EVAS2 IDE clinical study of the Nellix® EndoVascular Aneurysm Sealing (EVAS) System. Additionally, we announced positive results from our global ENCORE analysis with polymer endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) using our Ovation Abdominal Stent Graft Systems. These accomplishments reinforce Endologix’s value proposition and our commitment to delivering the best products to physicians and patients around the globe.”

About Endologix, Inc.
Endologix, Inc. develops and manufactures minimally invasive treatments for aortic disorders. The Company's focus is endovascular stent grafts for the treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA). AAA is a weakening of the wall of the aorta, the largest artery in the body, resulting in a balloon-like enlargement. Once an AAA develops, it continues to enlarge and, if left untreated, becomes increasingly susceptible to rupture. The overall patient mortality rate for ruptured AAA is approximately 80%, making it a leading cause of death in the U.S. For more information, visit www.endologix.com.
The Nellix® EndoVascular Aneurysm Sealing System has obtained CE Mark in the EU and is only approved as an investigational device in the United States. The Ovation Alto® System is only approved as an investigational device and is not currently approved in any market.

Discussion of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Endologix's management believes that the non-GAAP measures of (1) "Adjusted Net Income (Loss)" and (2) “Adjusted EBITDA" enhance an investor's overall understanding of Endologix's financial and operating performance and its future prospects by (i) being more reflective of core operating performance and (ii) being more comparable with financial results over various periods. Endologix's management uses these financial measures for strategic decision making, forecasting future financial results, and evaluating current period financial and operating performance. The presentation of non-GAAP financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP.
"GAAP" is generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.
