On October 15, 2015, Natus announced it would supply the Venezuelan government with medical equipment, supplies and services over a three year period. The Company stated “[p]repayments totaling approximately $69 million are expected by the first quarter of 2016[]” and “[i]f fully performed, the total sales under the agreement would aggregate $232.5 million.”
However, by January 11, 2016, Natus had yet to receive a payment from the Venezuelan government and the Company reduced its fourth quarter 2015 revenue guidance from $102 - $105 million to approximately $100 million. That day, Natus’ stock closed at $38.25 per share, over 11% lower than the previous closing price of $43.20 per share.
By April 4, 2016, Natus announced it had again failed to secure any money from the Venezuelan government and the Company reduced its first quarter 2016 revenue guidance from $91.5 - $92.5 million to $87.5 million. Natus’ stock closed at $31.84 per share that day – down over 19%. SEC filings show the Company’s CEO (James Hawkins) and CFO (Jonathan Kennedy) together sold over $10.7 million of their shares between October and November 2015.
“Among other things, we’re concerned about insider selling, especially considering Defendants’ announcements and the Company’s twice-reduced guidance,” said Hagens Berman partner Reed Kathrein.
