'We are very pleased with the progress in our business and strong first quarter, which was higher than our expectations,' said Dr. Peter Wrighton-Smith, Chief Executive Officer of Oxford Immunotec. 'We continue to be excited about the multiple growth opportunities for our business and we are stepping up our investment in the business to execute on these opportunities.' By revenue type, total revenues were, in millions: Three Months Ended March 31, ----------------------------- 2014 2013 Change ----------------------------- Product $ 6.8 $ 4.1 66% Service 5.5 3.6 53% -------------------- Total Revenue $ 12.3 $ 7.7 60% ==================== By geography, total revenues were, in millions: Three Months Ended March 31, ----------------------------- 2014 2013 Change ----------------------------- United States $ 5.0 $ 3.2 56% Europe and ROW 1.9 1.7 12% Asia 5.4 2.8 93% -------------------- Total Revenue $ 12.3 $ 7.7 60% ==================== First Quarter 2014 Financial Results Revenue for the first quarter of 2014 was $12.3 million, representing 60% growth over the first quarter 2013 revenue of $7.7 million. United States revenue was $5.0 million in the first quarter of 2014 representing 56% growth over the same period's revenue of $3.2 million in the prior year. Our growth continued to be driven by the acquisition of new customers as well as higher utilization by existing customers. Europe and Rest of World revenue was $1.9 million in the first quarter of 2014 representing 12% growth over the 2013 first quarter revenue of $1.7 million. Results were reflective of the more fragmented nature of this market and our investment priorities. Asia revenue was $5.4 million in the first quarter of 2014 representing 93% growth over the 2013 first quarter of $2.8 million. Revenue in China increased significantly over the first quarter of last year due to growth in the market and the effect of some quarter-to-quarter volatility in ordering patterns. Revenue in Japan also increased significantly over the first quarter of last year which was our first full quarter of sales after marketing approval. Gross profit for the first quarter of 2014 was $6.3 million, an increase of $3.0 million over gross profit of $3.3 million in the same period of 2013. Gross margin was 51.0%, an increase of 7.9 percentage points over the gross margin of 43.1% in the first quarter of 2013. The increase in gross margin was due to an increase in both product margins and service margins. The increase in product margins was driven by improvements in kit component costs and amortization of fixed costs over an increased volume. The service margin increase was driven primarily by the consolidation of all U.S. testing into one lab facility in Memphis, TN, kit cost reductions, significant operational improvements in workflow in the Memphis facility and economies of scale. Operating expenses were $9.2 million in the first quarter of 2014, an increase of $3.6 million compared to $5.6 million in the same period last year. The increase in operating expenses was primarily due to the hiring of additional sales and marketing personnel, an increase in research and development spending and an increase in infrastructure in addition to higher administrative costs related to being a public company. EBITDA for the first quarter was $(2.7) million compared to $(0.9) million in the first quarter of 2013. Adjusted EBITDA was $(2.4) million for the first quarter compared to $(1.8) million in the same period in 2013. Both EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP measures. Net loss for the first quarter of 2014 was $3.2 million or $0.18 per share compared to $1.2 million or $0.56 per share in the first quarter of 2013. Net loss per share was based on 17,264,135 and 2,154,285 weighted average ordinary shares outstanding for the first quarter of 2014 and 2013, respectively. Cash and cash equivalents were $67.6 million as of March 31, 2014 compared to $76.5 million as of December 31, 2013, a decrease of $8.9 million. The first quarter typically has the greatest amount of cash used in the year due to factors such as the payment of royalties and payment of year-end bonuses. Additionally, in this quarter we paid approximately $900,000 in residual IPO expenses. Business Outlook We expect to report revenue of between $11.1 and $11.6 million for the second quarter of 2014, and between $47 and $50 million for the full year of 2014. We expect that our gross margin will improve from first quarter levels and that operating expenses and net loss will increase as we continue to invest in the business.
