Stereotaxis Reports 2024 Second Quarter Financial Results

ST. LOUIS, August 12, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) - Stereotaxis (NYSE: STXS), a pioneer and global leader in surgical robotics for minimally invasive endovascular intervention, today reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2024.

"We made significant progress over the last quarter on strategic innovation efforts that are establishing a solid foundation upon which to build a substantial and successful company," said David Fischel, Chairman and CEO. "Key milestones achieved include successfully obtaining CE mark in Europe and submitting a 510(k) application in the US for GenesisX, substantial progress with regulatory reviews of MAGiC in Europe and the US, and closing the acquisition of Access Point Technologies (APT)." In a separate press release issued concurrent with this release, Stereotaxis introduced its next-generation robotic system GenesisX.

"We have attempted to realize our strategic transformation while maintaining commercial momentum and preserving financial strength. Commercial results for the first half of the year were below expectations with delayed recognition of revenue from our capital backlog. Our visibility into the second half of this year provides high confidence in significantly improved revenue and cash flow. Multiple Genesis systems are in transit to customers with revenue to be recognized and cash received at delivery. We have an active late-stage pipeline with additional orders expected near-term."

2024 Second Quarter Financial Results

Revenue for the second quarter of 2024 totaled $4.5 million, compared to $7.9 million in the prior year second quarter. System revenue of $0.2 million and recurring revenue of $4.3 million, compared to $3.3 million and $4.6 million, respectively, in the prior year second quarter. System revenue was weaker than expected due to delays in hospital construction schedules but does not reflect normalized expectations. Recurring revenue was in line with recent quarters.

Gross margin for the second quarter of 2024 was 74% of revenue. Operating expenses in the second quarter of $9.3 million include $2.5 million in non-cash stock compensation expense. Operating expenses in the quarter were impacted by higher acquisition-related legal costs and regulatory-related activities counteracted by the reversal of a historical accrued liability. Excluding non-cash stock compensation expense, adjusted operating expenses in the quarter were $6.8 million, compared to $6.9 million in the prior year second quarter.

Operating loss and net loss for the second quarter of 2024 were ($6.0) million and ($5.8) million, respectively, compared to ($5.3) million and ($5.0) million in the previous year. Adjusted operating loss and adjusted net loss for the quarter, excluding non-cash stock compensation expense, were ($3.5) million and ($3.3) million, respectively, compared with ($2.7) million and ($2.4) million in the previous year. Negative free cash flow for the second quarter was ($3.1) million.

Cash Balance and Liquidity

At June 30, 2024, Stereotaxis had cash and cash equivalents, including restricted cash, of $15.2 million and no debt.

Forward Looking Expectations

Stereotaxis expects greater than $14 million in revenue in the second half of this year given stable recurring revenue and current Genesis system shipments. Full year revenue is expected to be approximately equal to the previous year. These expectations do not incorporate contributions of revenue from APT or potential revenue from the launch of GenesisX and MAGiC.

Stereotaxis expects to end this year with approximately $13 million cash and no debt. Stereotaxis expects its balance sheet to allow it to advance its transformative product ecosystem to market, fund its commercialization, and reach profitability without the need for additional financing.
