Stereotaxis today reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2021.
ST. LOUIS, Aug. 10, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Stereotaxis, Inc. (NYSE: STXS), the global leader in innovative robotic technologies for the treatment of cardiac arrhythmias, today reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2021.
“Renewed global adoption of robotic systems continues to drive robust double digit revenue growth for Stereotaxis,” said David Fischel, Chairman and CEO. “Second quarter revenue of $9.1 million was up approximately 70% year-over-year, up 5% sequentially, and up 33% from the second quarter of 2019.”
“In the second quarter we received two orders for robotic systems, one as previously discussed to a US hospital and the other to a leading hospital in Beijing that will establish a new robotic electrophysiology program. We are advancing multiple additional capital opportunities and expect orders received in the coming quarters to support robust revenue growth in 2022.”
“Testing and regulatory activity for our proprietary robotically-navigated magnetic ablation catheter has progressed in the face of supply chain challenges impacting production at our partner Osypka. We now expect completion of required testing and submissions for European approval and a US pivotal trial early next year. In parallel, we are making robust progress on an additional set of innovations that will be showcased at the end of this year and should lead to several regulatory filings and product launches in 2022. We are confident in the positive impact these innovations will have on patients, physicians, providers, and on Stereotaxis’ financial and strategic foundation.”
“We are growing commercially and advancing our technology while enhancing our infrastructure and team. We are particularly excited by the recent addition of Dr. Myriam Curet to our Board. Her long-term leadership at Intuitive Surgical is highly relevant as we look to positively transform endovascular surgery with robotics in a similar fashion to how Intuitive transformed laparoscopic surgery.”
2021 Second Quarter Financial Results
Revenue for the second quarter of 2021 totaled $9.1 million, an approximately 70% increase compared to $5.3 million in the prior year second quarter. System revenue of $2.7 million includes initial revenue recognition on the delivery of a Genesis RMN® system in the United States and a Niobe® system to China. Recurring revenue for the quarter was $6.1 million, compared to $5.1 million in the prior year second quarter.
Gross margin for the second quarter of 2021 was 72% of revenue, with system gross margin of 48% and recurring revenue gross margin of 86%. Operating expenses in the quarter of $9.9 million include $2.8 million in non-cash stock compensation expense. Excluding stock compensation expense, adjusted operating expenses in the current quarter were $7.2 million, compared to the prior year adjusted operating expenses of $5.3 million. The increase in adjusted operating expenses primarily reflects measured hiring across key functions in the company and R&D project spending.
Operating loss and net loss for the second quarter of 2021 were ($3.4) million and ($1.2) million respectively, compared to ($1.9) million for both in the previous year. Net loss in the current quarter reflects a favorable $2.2M adjustment for the forgiveness of the Paycheck Protection Loan. Adjusted operating loss and adjusted net income for the quarter, excluding non-cash stock compensation expense, were ($0.6) million and $1.6 million, compared to ($1.0) million for both in the previous year. Negative free cash flow for the second quarter was ($0.1) million, compared to ($1.2) million in the prior year second quarter.
Cash Balance and Liquidity
At June 30, 2021, Stereotaxis had cash and cash equivalents, including restricted cash and compensating balances, of $44.2 million. This is consistent with the $44.2 million reported as of December 31, 2020.
Forward Looking Expectations
Stereotaxis expects to continue delivering year-over-year revenue growth in future quarters. It now expects robotic system revenue of approximately $11 million for 2021 based on orders received to date. Orders received in the remainder of 2021 and early 2022 are expected to result in approximately a doubling of system revenue in 2022 compared to 2021 and contribute to robust double digit revenue growth in 2022. Stereotaxis’ balance sheet allows it to reach profitability without the need for additional financings.
