Press Releases

CAESAREA, Israel – October 30, 2014 – Mazor Robotics Ltd. (TASE: MZOR; NASDAQGM: MZOR), a developer of innovative guidance systems and complementary products, announced today its financial results for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2014.

“This is a solid start to the second half of 2014 as we sold five Renaissance systems in the U.S. market during the third quarter, increasing the global installed base to 77 systems and matching our best-ever quarterly performance in the U.S.,” commented Ori Hadomi, Chief Executive Officer.  “Our performance in the third quarter was due to solid sales execution as we continued to penetrate existing and new markets, including northern California and the upper Midwest. This clearly demonstrates the increasing demand in the U.S. for the Renaissance system, our primary growth market. Internationally, we received China CFDA clearance and we are working with our distribution partner to penetrate this key market – one of our largest opportunities in Asia.  As we approach the end of 2014, we believe the data supporting the clinical and economic benefits of the system along with the continued increase in customer utilization will drive greater adoption and expand Renaissance’s global installed base.”

In addition to disclosing financial results calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards (GAAP), this press release contains Non-GAAP financial measures for gross profit, operating expenses, operating loss, financing income, net income and basic and diluted earnings per share that exclude the effects of non-cash expense of amortization of intangible assets, stock-based compensation and revaluation of the fair value of the derivative instruments. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding the Company’s performance that enhances management’s and investors’ ability to evaluate the Company’s net income and earnings per share and to compare them to historical net income and earnings per share.

The presentation of this non-GAAP financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. Management uses both GAAP and non-GAAP measures when operating and evaluating the Company’s business internally and therefore decided to make these non-GAAP adjustments available to investors.
