Endologix (ELGX) Expands Ventana and Nellix Medical Devices into Europe

August 8, 2013

Endologix (ELGX) has innovated in the medical device space with its Ventana product expanding the market and the
Nellix products presenting significant growth prospects after receiving regulatory approval in Europe, says Chris Cooley, Managing Director at Stephens Inc.

“In Europe, they are here today. Specifically Nellix began commercialization during the June calendar quarter. We think Ventana will enter the European market in the second half of next year, 2014. For us here in the States, they are further out. These products, realistically assuming standard FDA timeline, will not be available until the end of 2015, early 2016,” Cooley said.

Cooley says the Ventana and Nellix commercialization in Europe presents significant opportunities for growth, with topline growth in the double digits over the next three years.

“Their pipeline, though, is the real excitement here, and when we think about it, there is one device, Ventana, which basically has the opportunity to expand the market by upwards of $400 million; it’s about a $2.0 billion to $2.2 billion market today. And then Nellix, which just received a CE mark in Europe, really has the chance to change the game in the way that we think about endovascular approaches versus open surgical repair, and we see a very significant growth trajectory there; core top line growing in excess of 25% over the next three years,” Cooley said.
