CryoLife, Inc. (NYSE: CRY), a leading cardiac and vascular surgery company focused on aortic disease, announced today its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2020. 

"Despite the disruptions to our business from COVID-19, we posted a solid second quarter and advanced on several of our key initiatives.  We believe our business is weathering the pandemic well, as we believe the majority of products in our portfolio are used in procedures that cannot be postponed or delayed for long," commented Pat Mackin, Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer.  "We saw an improvement in procedure volumes sequentially month to month from April to June with a corresponding increase in revenue growth over those months.  Our manufacturing facilities continue to run at near capacity and our supply chain remains largely intact.  We have continued to fund R&D programs related to products that we believe will deliver revenue in 2021 and 2022, including our regulatory approvals for U.S. PerClot PMA, BioGlue China and PROACT Mitral.  We initiated limited market releases for Evita Open NEO and E-nside, with E-nya anticipated to follow by October, and a limited relaunch of NEXUS.  We also initiated enrollment in our PROACT Xa clinical trial.  Lastly, we completed a $100.0 million convertible debt financing to use for general corporate purposes, including the repayment of our $30.0 million revolver draw down.  We have the financial strength to be opportunistic on the business development front.  Given these achievements in the second quarter, we anticipate continued momentum in the second half of 2020 and are optimistic that we will have a strong 2021."

Second Quarter Financial Results
Total revenues for the second quarter of 2020 were $53.8 million, reflecting a decrease of (24%), and (23%) on a non-GAAP constant currency basis, both compared to the second quarter of 2019.  Decreases in all product lines reflect the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the number of procedures using our products.

Net loss for the second quarter of 2020 was ($3.7) million, or ($0.10) per fully diluted common share, compared to net income of $2.8 million, or $0.07 per fully diluted common share for the second quarter of 2019.  Non-GAAP net loss for the second quarter of 2020 was ($835,000), or ($0.02) per fully diluted common share, compared to non-GAAP net income of $4.1 million, or $0.11 per fully diluted common share for the second quarter of 2019. 

2020 Financial Outlook 
Due to uncertainties resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company is not issuing 2020 financial guidance at this time.

All numbers are presented on a GAAP basis except where expressly referenced as non-GAAP.  The Company does not provide GAAP income per common share on a forward-looking basis because the Company is unable to predict with reasonable certainty business development and acquisition-related expenses, purchase accounting fair value adjustments, and any unusual gains and losses without unreasonable effort.  These items are uncertain, depend on various factors, and could be material to results computed in accordance with GAAP.

The Company's financial performance for 2020 is subject to the risks identified below.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures 
This press release contains non-GAAP financial measures.  Investors should consider this non-GAAP information in addition to, and not as a substitute for, financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.  In addition, this non-GAAP financial information may not be the same as similar measures presented by other companies.  The Company's non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP EBITDA results exclude (as applicable) business development and integration expense, severance expense, amortization expense, inventory basis step-up expense, loss on foreign currency revaluation, stock-based compensation expense, and corporate rebranding expense.  The Company believes that these non-GAAP presentations provide useful information to investors regarding unusual non-operating transactions; the operating expense structure of the Company's existing and recently acquired operations, without regard to its on-going efforts to acquire additional complementary products and businesses and the transaction and integration expenses incurred in connection with recently acquired and divested product lines; and the operating expense structure excluding fluctuations resulting from foreign currency revaluation and stock-based compensation expense.  The Company believes it is useful to exclude certain expenses because such amounts in any specific period may not directly correlate to the underlying performance of its business operations or can vary significantly between periods as a result of factors such as acquisitions, or non-cash expense related to amortization of previously acquired tangible and intangible assets.  The Company has excluded the impact of changes in currency exchange from certain revenues to evaluate growth rates on a constant currency basis.  The Company does, however, expect to incur similar types of expenses and currency exchange impacts in the future, and this non-GAAP financial information should not be viewed as a statement or indication that these types of expenses will not recur.
