Second Quarter 2024 Financial Results

Total revenue for the second quarter of 2024 was $53.4 million, an increase of 61% compared to the prior year period. U.S. revenue was $47.7 million, representing growth of 59% compared to the prior year period. The increase was primarily driven by increased system sales to new hospital customers and increased handpiece and consumable revenue. U.S. handpiece and consumable revenue for the second quarter of 2024 was $27.3 million, an increase of 101% compared to the prior year period. U.S. monthly utilization per account increased approximately 15% in the second quarter of 2024 compared to the prior year period. U.S. system revenue for the second quarter of 2024 was $17.8 million, an increase of 20% compared to the prior year period. As of June 30, 2024, the install base of AquaBeam Robotic Systems in the U.S. was 400 systems. International revenue was $5.7 million for the quarter, an increase of 79% compared to the prior year period.

Gross margin for the second quarter 2024 was 59% compared to 56% in the prior year period. Gross margin improvement was primarily due to improved overhead absorption and increased U.S. average selling prices.

Operating expenses in the second quarter of 2024 were $58.3 million, compared with $44.1 million in the prior year period. The increase was driven by increased sales and marketing expenses primarily to expand the commercial organization and increased research and development expenses.

Net loss was $25.6 million for the second quarter of 2024, compared to a loss of $25.3 million in the prior year period. Adjusted EBITDA was a loss of $18.0 million for the second quarter of 2024, compared to a loss of $19.9 million in the prior year period.

Cash and short-term investments as of June 30, 2024, totaled $214.1 million. Cash usage in the second quarter of 2024 was $11.5 million dollars which is a significant improvement from the $31.6 million usage in the first quarter of 2024. Most of this progress was driven by improvements in working capital.

Full Year 2024 Financial Guidance

  • The Company projects revenue for the full year 2024 to be $217.0 million, which represents 59% growth over the Company’s prior year revenue. This compares to previous revenue guidance of $213.5 million.
  • The Company projects full year 2024 gross margin to be approximately 59%. This compares to previous guidance of approximately 58% to 59%.
  • The Company projects full year 2024 total operating expense of approximately $231.5 million, which is unchanged from previously issued guidance.
  • The Company projects full year 2024 Adjusted EBITDA loss to be ($67.5) million. This compares to previous guidance of ($70.0) million.

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 150 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.
