Stryker Cautious On Acquisitions, Confident On Robotic Surgery

October 31, 2016 – By Jof Enriquez

Despite this year’s acquisition spree, Stryker Corporation will remain financially disciplined in executing M&A deals, company executives tol­­d analysts during its third quarter earnings call recently.

Stryker reported $3 billion in cash and marketable securities for the quarter ending Sept. 30, 2016. Around 80 percent of that amount currently is held outside the United States. Stryker said it would like to repatriate that cash at some point, but to what purpose is still unclear.

“You know, we’ve said before about what our priorities are around capital allocation and that would mean M&A, that would mean dividends, and it may mean share buybacks. But commenting beyond that — I don’t think I can do that at this point of time,” Stryker CEO Kevin Lobo told analysts, according to a Seeking Alpha transcript.

Since February, Stryker has closed a string of notable deals: hospital supplies provider Sage Products ($2.78 billion), emergency medical services (EMS) equipment manufacturer Physio-Control ($1.3 billion), Synergetics’ neurology portfolio (undisclosed amount), orthopedic oncology firm Stanmore Implants ($52 million), meniscal repair company Ivy Sports Medicine (undisclosed amount), and endoscopic instrumentation maker Instratek (undisclosed amount).

Stryker executives said during the call that these acquisitions were designed to strengthen the company’s core businesses. They also touted the smooth integration of the Sage and Physio-Control portfolios and sales teams with Stryker’s, which indicates that their M&A strategy is indeed sound.

NASS 2016: Interest grows in surgical robotics for spinal procedures

BY

Mazor Robotics (NSDQ:MZOR) unveiled its next-generation robot-assisted surgery system and Globus Medical (NYSE:GMED) for the 1st time showcased the functional prototype of its Excelsius platform at the NASS 2016 meeting in Boston last week, signifying an increased interest in robotic surgeons among major players.

Mazor developed 3 generations of products over 15 years and does 95% of its business in spine surgery, according to Barclays. The Caesarea, Israel-based company’s next-gen Mazor X system, presented at this year’s North American Spine Society meeting, helps surgeons develop a pre-operative plan, make automated calculations, and provide intraoperative guidance to ensure that the plan is followed for each patient. It can also measure the length of time for each case, demographics and other important variables to improve case management.

“The Mazor X system is aimed at addressing unmet needs for a number of stakeholders including hospital management, vendors, patients, payors, and surgeons,” Barclays analysts wrote.

The list price of the robot surgeon is $900,000 and Mazor is also listing a brain model at $199k. Mazor’s agreement with Medtronic (NYSE:MDT) calls for it to receive $1,500 for the disposable and a midpoint $1,000 synergy fee if Medtronic implants are used. Mazor is selling the system and gets the full price, but a 20% commission goes to Medtronic during phase 1 of the agreement. In phase 2, there’s a distributor agreement, so the sale to Medtronic is at 40% to 45% less than list price.

Globus unveiled its investigational robotics system, Excelsius, telling Leerink Partners that it anticipates approval and launch in early- to mid-2017, with revenue unlikely until the 2nd half of next year.

DePuy Synthes announces availability of ‘Expert Tibial Nail PROtect’ to reduce implant related infections

October 31, 2016

DePuy Synthes, part of the Johnson & Johnson Family of Companies, today announced the availability of Expert Tibial Nail PROtect, the only tibial nail with a resorbable antibiotic coating designed to provide additional protection from bacterial colonization for patients who are at high risk of infection. Infection following fracture fixation is recognised as an increasingly important clinical problem, and can result in prolonged treatment, impaired fracture healing and in some cases, for example people with diabetes, may result in limb amputation.

Designed in collaboration with leading AO surgeons, Expert Tibial Nail PROtect addresses a growing clinical demand to reduce the incidence of implant related infections. Infection can occur in up to 14.4% of all open tibia fractures treated with intramedullary nailing (without an antibacterial coating). Open tibial shaft fractures are often associated with a high incidence of complications, due to the precarious blood supply to the tibia, the high risk of infection and the necessity of rapid surgical intervention.

“Infection following fracture fixation is one of the most severe problems we face in daily practice, with potentially devastating consequences for the patient,” said Prof. Dr. med Michael Raschke, Clinical Director, University of Muenster, Germany. “A biofilm can form on an implant within 12–18 hours post-surgery which may trigger an infection.”

“Expert Tibial Nail PROtect provides me with an additional tool to help reduce infection rates and benefit my patients’ outcomes,” concluded Prof. Dr. med. Gerhard Schmidmaier, Head of Trauma Department, Heidelberg University Hospital, Germany.

Adding locally administered antibiotics to general prophylactic antibiotics has been shown to reduce the infection rate for patients with severe fractures from 14.4% to 2.4%. Expert Tibial Nail PROtect offers a treatment option developed to deliver targeted protection and prevent a bacterial biofilm forming on the implant thus decreasing the risk of infection.

“By adding the PROtect coating to the existing Expert Tibial Nail, we are providing surgeons with the technology to address their highest risk trauma patients,” said Elmar Zurbriggen, DePuy Synthes Franchise Lead for Europe, Middle East and Africa. “By preventing bacterial colonization on the implant surface, we hope that patients will experience an improved recovery process while reducing the need for additional treatment costs for healthcare providers.”

The Expert Tibial Nail’s use in tibia fracture repair, demonstrates improved patient outcomes, which is why it was selected for application of the PROtect antibiotic coating. The design of Expert Tibial Nail itself has been shown to reduce operating time, hospital stay, full weight bearing time and union time.

Clinical experience has provided evidence to support the benefits of using Expert Tibial Nail PROtect. It demonstrates the performance and safety of the PROtect coating with intramedullary nails. Studies have reported no deep infections, and treatment costs for patients with an infection following a tibia fracture were shown to be up to 3.5 times higher compared to those for patients with no infection. These are attributed to the additional surgery required to manage the infection (e.g. implant removal, bone grafting, amputation) and the prolonged hospital stay as well as readmissions and treatment in the intensive care unit for patients with an infection.

Medtronic, Intuitive Surgical Lead U.S. Surgical Navigation and Robotics Systems Market Driven by Replacement Sales

VANCOUVER, BC–(Marketwired – October 25, 2016) – According to a new series of reports on the U.S. market for surgical navigation and robotics systems by iData Research (www.idataresearch.com), the market is driven by replacement sales to new facilities. The continuous improvement in navigation software as well as hardware will entice facilities to continually upgrade their systems to the most current versions. Also, the entrance of new companies who are looking to provide navigation systems at a more budget-friendly price will expand the market to smaller facilities who, in the past, could not afford the top-of-the-line systems.

The overall market for image guided surgery (IGS) systems reflects the overlap between different market segments. For example, revenues stemming from neurosurgery and spinal navigation systems are often associated with a single system that has both applications. In addition, both the ENT and orthopedic navigation markets include systems with applications in spinal and neurosurgical navigation, respectively.

“Newer systems entering the market both on the higher and lower ends of the price spectrum will stabilize the average selling price as institutions upgrade these systems,” explains Dr. Kamran Zamanian, CEO of iData. “For example, ENT departments often have lower budgets for navigation systems than their neurosurgical or spinal counterparts.”

The largest segment in the U.S. surgical navigation market is represented by navigation systems with spinal applications, accounting for nearly 40% of the total market. Many of the systems sold are able to perform multiple applications; in particular, most neurosurgical and spinal navigation are performed by the same systems. The neurosurgery navigation system market is the most mature. The use of IGS for neurosurgical procedures has become the standard of care. Also, IGS systems with neurosurgical capabilities command the highest ASP. The growth of the neurosurgery navigation system market is supplemented by upgrades from facilities that already have such systems as well as sales to new facilities, although the latter makes up a smaller portion of the total revenue.

Medtronic leads the surgical navigation systems market in the United States. The company has established itself through brand recognition and by making systems compatible with their implant products. Medtronic is expected to remain a strong competitor in the market. Intuitive Surgical leads the surgical robotics market in the United States. It remains the dominant competitor in the U.S. and promotes robotics applications in surgery. However, other companies are expanding robotic options in orthopedic and other procedural areas. Other leading competitors in surgical navigation include Brainlab and Stryker, which also hold significant market shares in the United States, in addition to a number of other companies with smaller installed bases. In the surgical robotics systems market companies such as Medtech, Mazor Robotics, and Stryker’s Mako system are strong contenders.

Misonix Hands-On Lab Generates Strong Interest in BoneScalpel® at NASS

FARMINGDALE, N.Y., Oct. 31, 2016 /PRNewswire/ — Misonix, Inc. (NASDAQ: MSON), an international surgical device company that designs, manufactures and markets innovative therapeutic ultrasonic products for spine surgery, neurosurgery, wound debridement, skull based surgery, laparoscopic surgery and other surgical applications, recently participated in the North American Spine Society (NASS) 2016 Annual Meeting in Boston, MA from October 26-29.

NASS is a global multidisciplinary medical society that utilizes education, research and advocacy to foster the highest quality, ethical, and evidence-based spine care. The NASS 2016 Annual Meeting represented the largest spine meeting and exhibit in the world. It was attended by thousands of spine surgeons gathered to discuss new innovative options, trends, and outcomes in spine surgery.

While at the Misonix exhibit meeting attendees engaged with leading surgeons, including Dr. Nicholas Renaldo, Medical Director of Spine Surgery at Vassar Brothers Medical Center, Poughkeepsie NY; Dr. Eric Woodard, Chief of the Section of Neurosurgery, New England Baptist Hospital, Boston MA; and Dr. Connor Telles from Sierra Pacific Orthopedics in Fresno, CA, to learn about their surgical experiences with the BoneScalpel.

Misonix also hosted – by invitation only – several leading surgeons in the “Innovation Room” where the invited surgeons met with members of the Misonix engineering group to learn more about future innovations under development.  Gaining feedback directly from the surgeons at the event is a critical step in assuring that the next generation technologies under development reflect end-user recommendations.

In addition to the Company’s booth presence, Misonix hosted a BoneScalpel hands-on cadaveric workshop entitled, Ultrasonic BoneScalpel Techniques in Complex Spine facilitated by Isador Lieberman, MD, Director of the Scoliosis and Spine Tumor Center at the Texas Back Institute in Plano, TX.  Dr. Lieberman demonstrated his clinical usage of the BoneScalpel with attendees having the opportunity for trialing the BoneScalpel ultrasonic bone-cutting instrument.  More than 35 spine surgeons were trained on the use of BoneScalpel at the lab.

Commenting further on the week’s events was Dr. Juan Uribe, University of South Florida, Tampa, FL, who presented his experience with the BoneScalpel at Friday’s NASS Solutions Showcase.  “The advantages of less blood loss, precise cuts, savings in operating room time, and less hand fatigue are among the many reasons that BoneScalpel is now a requirement for a high percentage of the cases I currently perform. In fact, BoneScalpel has changed the way I practice spine surgery,” added Dr. Uribe.

Stavros Vizirgianakis, interim chief executive officer of Misonix, said, “We are gratified that these key opinion leaders in the spinal and neurosurgical space have adopted our technology into their practices and enthusiastically share their expertise and experiences with others in their profession. This is a very positive reflection on the efficacy of the BoneScalpel, our ultrasonic technology, and the skill sets of these surgical professionals to produce improved patient outcomes, and to do so, in a very efficient manner. We are pleased to be associated with these leading surgical professionals.”

Dr. Isadore Lieberman, who facilitied the BoneScalpel cadaveric workshop, said, “I was extremely pleased with the turnout for the workshop and the continued high level of interest in the BoneScalpel by my peers and colleagues at this year’s NASS meeting. In my opinion, BoneScalpel continues to be one of the most important innovations in spine surgery in the past several years and given the number of attendees who participated in the workshop this year, clearly people are taking notice of the importance of this technology.”

Misonix Senior Vice President of Global Sales and Marketing, Scott Ludecker, commented, “BoneScalpel’s ability to mitigate the potential for soft tissue collateral damage and minimize blood loss during complex spine surgeries are some of the key benefits which have drawn the spinal surgeon community to BoneScalpel. These attributes are universally understood as being cornerstones for better patient outcomes.  Events like this week’s hands-on cadaver workshop are idea forums for surgeons to experience for themselves the benefits of our technology. Having leading surgeons like Dr. Lieberman available to share his personal experience with them is invaluable.”

Website Information
We routinely post important information for investors on our website, www.zimmerbiomet.com, in the “Investor Relations” section.  We use this website as a means of disclosing material, non-public information and for complying with our disclosure obligations under Regulation FD.  Accordingly, investors should monitor the Investor Relations section of our website, in addition to following our press releases, SEC filings, public conference calls, presentations and webcasts.  The information contained on, or that may be accessed through, our website is not incorporated by reference into, and is not a part of, this document.

Note on Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release includes non-GAAP financial measures that differ from financial measures calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).  These non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similar measures reported by other companies and should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, other measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Net earnings and diluted earnings per share for the three-month period ended September 30, 2016 and projected diluted earnings per share for the full-year 2016 are presented on a GAAP (reported) basis and an adjusted basis.  Adjusted earnings and earnings per share measures exclude the effects of inventory step-up and other inventory and manufacturing related charges, certain claims, special items, intangible asset amortization, financing and other expenses/gains related to the Biomet merger and other acquisitions, the tax effects of these items and other certain tax adjustments.  Special items include expenses resulting directly from our business combinations and/or global restructuring, quality and operational excellence initiatives, including employee termination benefits, certain contract terminations, consulting and professional fees, dedicated project personnel, asset impairment or loss on disposal charges and other items.  Other certain tax adjustments primarily include internal restructuring transactions that provide the Company access to offshore funds in a tax efficient manner and adjustments to deferred tax liabilities recognized as part of acquisition-related accounting.

Sales growth information for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2016 is presented on a GAAP (reported) basis and, for the three-month period, on an adjusted constant currency basis.  Adjusted growth rates reflect the impact of the previously announced divesture remedies.  Constant currency growth rates exclude the effects of foreign currency exchange rates.  They are calculated by translating current and prior-period sales at the same predetermined exchange rate.  The translated results are then used to determine year-over-year percentage increases or decreases.  Projected revenue growth information for the full-year 2016 is presented on a GAAP (reported) basis, an adjusted pro forma basis, an adjusted pro forma constant currency basis and an adjusted pro forma constant currency basis excluding the contribution from LDR Holding Corporation.  Pro forma revenue growth refers to a comparison against revenue for the prior year that has been adjusted to reflect the inclusion of Biomet revenue on a GAAP basis.  Adjusted pro forma revenue growth refers to a comparison against pro forma revenue for the prior year adjusted to reflect the impact of the previously announced divestiture remedies.  Adjusted pro forma constant currency revenue growth excludes the effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates in both years.

We use these non-GAAP financial measures internally to evaluate the performance of the business and believe they are useful measures that provide meaningful supplemental information to investors to consider when evaluating the performance of the Company.  We believe these measures offer the ability to make period-to-period comparisons that are not impacted by certain items that can cause dramatic changes in reported operating results, to perform trend analysis, to better identify operating trends that may otherwise be masked or distorted by these types of items and to provide additional transparency of certain items.  In addition, certain of these non-GAAP financial measures are used as performance metrics in our incentive compensation programs.

Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures are included in this press release.

Anika Reports Third Quarter 2016 Financial Results

October 26, 2016

BEDFORD, Mass.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Anika Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: ANIK), a global, integrated orthopedic medicines company specializing in therapeutics based on its proprietary hyaluronic acid (“HA”) technology, today reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2016, along with business progress in the period.

“We continued to deliver solid financial results in the third quarter, while expanding globally and advancing our deep and differentiated pipeline to drive sustained growth,” said Charles H. Sherwood, Ph.D., President and Chief Executive Officer. “Last quarter, we had a productive meeting with the FDA regarding the CINGAL regulatory submission and continue to gain alignment on additional clinical and non-clinical work required to bring this important treatment to the U.S. Our confidence in the future success of CINGAL in the U.S. has been reaffirmed by how well CINGAL has been received by physicians in Canada and Europe, where we recently launched. We are well-positioned to achieve our operational and financial objectives for 2016 and to create significant near- and long-term value for patients and shareholders.”

Third Quarter Financial Results

  • Total revenue for the third quarter of 2016 increased 9% to $25.8 million, compared to $23.7 million for the third quarter of 2015.
  • Worldwide Orthobiologics revenue grew 10% year-over-year in the third quarter of 2016. MONOVISC revenue increased 33% year-over-year in the third quarter of 2016, and it was the Company’s main revenue growth driver during the period.
  • International Orthobiologics revenue grew 27% year-over-year in the first nine months of 2016 as a result of the Company’s global commercial expansion efforts. Domestically, we believe ORTHOVISC maintained its position as the leading multiple-injection product while MONOVISC continued to hold the number two position in the single-injection segment.
  • Total operating expenses for the third quarter of 2016 were $12.1 million, compared to $10.5 million for the third quarter of 2015, commensurate with the Company’s growth in revenue, increased commercial efforts, and active pipeline.
  • Net income for the third quarter of 2016 increased $0.6 million to $9.0 million, or $0.59 per diluted share, compared to $8.4 million, or $0.55 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2015.

Recent Business Highlights
The Company made key commercial, operational, pipeline, and financial advancements, including:

  • Meeting with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in late September about the New Drug Application (NDA) for CINGAL, during which the Company and FDA aligned on one additional Phase III clinical trial to supplement the strong stable of existing pivotal data.
  • Advancing its product pipeline with continued progress on enrolling patients in the FastTRACK Phase III HYALOFAST Study for cartilage repair, as well as the Phase III MONOVISC study for the treatment of osteoarthritis pain in the hip.
  • Showcasing data from four recent studies evaluating the clinical utility of our HA-based bioscaffold, HYALOFAST, at the 13th World Congress of the International Cartilage Repair Society (ICRS).
  • Completing the Company’s $25 million accelerated share repurchase program, with a total of 531,067 shares repurchased by Anika.
  • Progressing with the consolidation of the Company’s global manufacturing operations at Anika’s Bedford, Mass. global headquarters.
