“We are very pleased with this strong start to 2022 and continue to make important progress in our mission to treat and transform the lives of millions of men suffering from BPH,” said Reza Zadno, Chief Executive Officer. “Our install base significantly expanded during the first quarter and we also increased account utilization. Additionally, the 5-year WATER Study Data published in February further demonstrates our clinical durability and will enhance our ability to drive penetration and utilization.”
First Quarter 2022 Financial Results
Revenue for the first quarter of 2022 was $14.2 million, an increase of 97% compared to the prior year period. The increase was primarily driven by U.S revenues, including both system sales to new hospital customers and increased handpiece revenue. U.S. system revenue was $7.8 million, an increase of 70% compared to the prior year period. Growth was influenced largely by strong underlying demand from high-volume BPH hospitals. As of March 31, 2022, the install base of Aquabeam Robotic Systems in the U.S. was 93 systems. U.S. handpiece and consumable revenue for the quarter was $4.4 million, an increase of 174% compared to the prior year period. International revenue was $1.6 million for the quarter, an increase of 75% compared to the prior year period.
Gross margin for the first quarter 2022 was 54% compared to 49% in the prior year period. Gross margin improvement was primarily attributable to the growth in units sold, higher U.S. handpiece average selling prices and spreading the fixed portion of our manufacturing overhead costs over a larger number of units produced.
Operating expenses in the first quarter of 2022 were $23.4 million, compared with $14.9 million in the prior year period. The increase was primarily driven by increased selling, general and administrative expenses to expand the sales organization and increased expenses associated with being a public company.
Net loss was $17.2 million for the first quarter of 2022, compared to a loss of $12.8 million in the prior year period.
Cash and short-term investments as of March 31, 2022, totaled $284.3 million, while long-term borrowings totaled $50.0 million.
Full Year 2022 Financial Guidance
- The Company projects revenue for the full year 2022 to range from $58 million to $62 million, which represents 68% to 80% growth over the company’s prior year revenue. This compares to previous revenue guidance of $54 million to $58 million.
- The Company reiterates full year 2022 Adjusted EBITDA loss to be in the range of ($63) million to ($60) million.
Adjusted EBITDA is a financial measure that is not prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP). For more information about the Company’s use of non-GAAP financial measures, please see the section below titled “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures (Unaudited).”

About PROCEPT BioRobotics Corporation
PROCEPT BioRobotics is a surgical robotics company focused on advancing patient care by developing transformative solutions in urology. PROCEPT BioRobotics develops, manufactures and sells the AquaBeam Robotic System, an advanced, image-guided, surgical robotic system for use in minimally invasive urologic surgery with an initial focus on treating benign prostatic hyperplasia, or BPH. BPH is the most common prostate disease and impacts approximately 40 million men in the United States. PROCEPT BioRobotics designed Aquablation therapy to deliver effective, safe and durable outcomes for males suffering from lower urinary tract symptoms, or LUTS, due to BPH that are independent of prostate size and shape or surgeon experience. The Company has developed a significant and growing body of clinical evidence, which includes nine clinical studies and over 100 peer-reviewed publications, supporting the benefits and clinical advantages of Aquablation therapy.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures (Unaudited)
This press release references Adjusted EBITDA, a financial measure that is not prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP). The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as earnings before interest expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization and stock-based compensation. Non-GAAP financial measures are not a substitute for or superior to measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP.
The Company believes that presenting Adjusted EBITDA provides useful supplemental information to investors about the Company in understanding and evaluating its operating results, enhancing the overall understanding of its past performance and future prospects, and allowing for greater transparency with respect to key financial metrics used by its management in financial and operational decision making. However, there are a number of limitations related to the use of non-GAAP measures and their nearest GAAP equivalents. For example, other companies may calculate non-GAAP measures differently, or may use other measures to calculate their financial performance, and therefore any non-GAAP measures the Company uses may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.
