OXFORD, United Kingdom and MARLBOROUGH, Mass., Aug. 5, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Oxford Immunotec Global PLC (Nasdaq: OXFD ), a global, commercial-stage diagnostics company committed to improving patient care by providing advanced, innovative tests in the field of immunology, today announced second quarter 2014 financial results.
"We are pleased with our results and continued progress in the second quarter," said Dr. Peter Wrighton-Smith, Chief Executive Officer of Oxford Immunotec. "We continue to be excited about our T-SPOT ® technology, our growing product pipeline and the multiple growth opportunities that lie ahead."
By revenue type, total revenues were, in millions:
| Three Months Ended June 30, | |||
| 2014 | 2013 | Change | |
| Product | $ 5.9 | $ 5.8 | 2% |
| Service | 5.9 | 4.4 | 35% |
| Total Revenue | $ 11.8 | $ 10.2 | 16% |
By geography, total revenues were, in millions:
| Three Months Ended June 30, | |||
| 2014 | 2013 | Change | |
| United States | $ 5.5 | $ 4.1 | 35% |
| Europe and ROW | 1.8 | 1.7 | 7% |

| Total Revenue | $ 11.8 | $ 10.2 | 16% |
Second Quarter 2014 Financial Results
Revenue for the second quarter of 2014 was $11.8 million, representing 16% growth over the second quarter 2013 revenue of $10.2 million.
United States revenue was $5.5 million in the second quarter of 2014 representing 35% growth over the same period's revenue of $4.1 million in the prior year. Growth continued to be driven by the acquisition of new customers and higher utilization by existing customers.
Europe and Rest of World revenue was $1.8 million in the second quarter of 2014 representing 7% growth over the 2013 second quarter revenue of $1.7 million. The growth in this region is reflective of the more fragmented nature of this market and our investment priorities.
Asia revenue was $4.5 million in the second quarter of 2014 representing 2% growth over the 2013 second quarter of $4.4 million. Revenue growth from this geography is not representative of the underlying test sales growth in the market due an exceptional Q2 2013 in Japan as a comparator, and the usual quarter-to-quarter volatility in shipments to our Chinese distributor.
Gross profit for the second quarter of 2014 was $5.8 million, an increase of $0.5 million over gross profit of $5.3 million in the same period of 2013. Gross margin was 49.2%, a decrease of 2.9 percentage points in comparison to the gross margin of 52.1% in the second quarter of 2013. The decrease in gross margin was primarily due to currency effects. The majority of our product costs, including the kit cost component of our service cost of sales are denominated in Pounds Sterling while the majority of our revenues are recognized in U.S. Dollars and Japanese Yen, both of which have weakened against the Pound.
Operating expenses were $11.8 million in the second quarter of 2014, an increase of $5.8 million compared to $6.0 million in the same period last year. The increase in operating expenses was primarily a result of the expansion to our sales force and marketing personnel, higher research and development spending and an increase in general and administrative costs related to being a public company.
EBITDA for the second quarter was $(5.8) million compared to $(0.6) million in the second quarter of 2013. Adjusted EBITDA was $(4.9) million for the second quarter compared to $(0.5) million in the same period in 2013. Both EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP measures.
Net loss for the second quarter of 2014 was $6.2 million or $0.36 per share compared to $1.0 million or $0.42 per share in the second quarter of 2013. Net loss per share was based on 17,292,251 and 2,253,788 weighted average ordinary shares outstanding for the second quarter of 2014 and 2013, respectively.
Cash and cash equivalents were $65.8 million as of June 30, 2014 compared to $67.6 million as of March 31, 2014, a decrease of $1.9 million.
Acquisition of Assets of Boulder Diagnostics Inc.
Today, Oxford Immunotec announced that it has purchased substantially all of the assets of Boulder Diagnostics Inc. for an upfront cash payment of $1.8 million along with up to $6.1 million in contingent milestone payments that could ultimately bring the total purchase price to $7.9 million. Please refer to the press release issued today for additional details regarding the transaction.
Business Outlook
We expect to report revenue of between $12.4 and $12.9 million for the third quarter of 2014, and between $48 and $50 million for the full year of 2014. We expect that our gross margin will improve in the upcoming quarters and that operating expenses will increase as we continue to invest in the business.
