(Nasdaq: OBIO, “Orchestra BioMed” or the “Company”), a biomedical company accelerating high-impact technologies to patients through risk-reward sharing partnerships, today announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026, and provided a business update highlighting momentum across the Company’s pivotal-stage programs for Atrioventricular Interval Modulation (“AVIM”) Therapy and Virtue® Sirolimus AngioInfusion™ Balloon (“Virtue SAB”) supported by the Company’s strong balance sheet. David Hochman, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Orchestra BioMed stated, “We continued to make meaningful advancements across our late-stage cardiovascular pipeline during the first quarter. Along with the achievement of recently announced important regulatory, clinical and financing milestones, we are pleased to provide clarity on the expected timeline for the BACKBEAT Trial highlighting objectives for enrollment completion, late-breaking clinical trial presentation, and plans for potential regulatory submissions by our strategic collaborator Medtronic. With increasingly strong momentum continuing in the BACKBEAT Trial and the AVIM Therapy program, and great progress for the Virtue Trial and Virtue SAB, our team is excited about the significant value inflection points that lie ahead for Orchestra BioMed.” Q1 2026 and Recent Business Highlights: Provided overall update on the BACKBEAT Trial timeline, targeting enrollment completion by the end of the third quarter of 2026 and announced plans with Medtronic to pursue presentation of primary endpoint data as a late-breaking clinical trial presentation at a major cardiovascular conference in the second quarter of 2027, assuming primary endpoints are met. The updated timeline is supported by FDA approval of a reduction in sample size for the BACKBEAT Trial to a target total of 284 evaluable randomized subjects, with a total enrollment target of 316 patients accounting for potential loss to follow-up. FDA granted AVIM Therapy a second FDA Breakthrough Device Designation (“BDD”) specific to patients with uncontrolled hypertension despite the use of anti-hypertensive medications, and an indication for a pacemaker. The BDDs granted to AVIM Therapy collectively apply to indications that encompass both the broader population of patients with uncontrolled hypertension despite medication and increased cardiovascular risk, as well as the specific pacemaker-indicated population with uncontrolled hypertension being evaluated in the BACKBEAT Trial, representing a U.S. population of over 7.7 million patients.BDD can support enhanced reimbursement pathways, including potential eligibility for New Technology Add-on Payment and Transitional Pass-Through payment, which can facilitate broader, more timely patient access and provider adoption. Received $35 million in strategic capital under previously disclosed agreements with Medtronic and Ligand (Nasdaq: LGND). Received $20 million from Medtronic as payment for a secured subordinated promissory note convertible to capped prepaid revenue share, fulfilling Medtronic’s previously disclosed funding commitment. This brings Medtronic’s total capital contribution to Orchestra BioMed to nearly $82 million including prior equity investments, supporting the planned completion of the BACKBEAT Trial.Received $15 million tranche payment from Ligand associated with the previously disclosed Royalty Purchase Agreement, bringing total capital received from Ligand to $40 million to date in exchange for tiered royalty interest in certain future AVIM Therapy and Virtue SAB revenue, as well as an equity investment. Presented AVIM Therapy clinical and mechanistic data at HRS 2026, including pre-randomization data from the MODERATO II pilot study in which AVIM Therapy demonstrated a mean immediate reduction in office systolic blood pressure of 13.2 mmHg upon activation, with 97% of patients achieving a 5 mmHg or greater blood pressure reduction upon AVIM Therapy activation.Advanced site activation and patient enrollment in the Virtue Trial, a multi-center, prospective, randomized head-to-head IDE registrational clinical trial comparing Virtue SAB with the commercially available AGENT™ paclitaxel-coated balloon for the treatment of coronary in-stent restenosis. Financial Results for the First Quarter Ended March 31, 2026 Cash and cash equivalents and Marketable securities totaled $94.4 million as of March 31, 2026. On May 1, 2026, we received $35 million, which includes $20 million from Medtronic and $15 million from Ligand pursuant to the terms of agreements with those parties.Net cash used in operating activities and for the purchase of fixed assets was $22.4 million during the first quarter of 2026, compared with $16.7 million for the first quarter in 2025, with the primary drivers being increased research and development costs, including clinical trial activities, as well as personnel and consulting expenditures, which include non-recurring payments, during the first quarter of 2026.Revenue for the first quarter of 2026 was $0.1 million, compared with $0.9 million for the first quarter in 2025. The decrease was primarily due to the elimination of recognized revenue from our prior distribution agreement with Terumo, which was terminated in October 2025.Research and development expenses for the first quarter of 2026 were $15.8 million, compared with $13.5 million for the first quarter in 2025, which represents an increase of 17%. The increase was primarily due to additional costs associated with the ongoing BACKBEAT Trial and to advance the Virtue SAB program, including the Virtue Trial.Selling, general and administrative expenses for the first quarter of 2026 were $6.4 million, compared with $6.3 million for the first quarter of 2025, which represents an increase of 2%. The increase was primarily due to an increase in professional fees.Net loss attributable to common stockholders for the first quarter of 2026 was $20.7 million, or ($0.33) per share, compared with a net loss attributable to common stockholders of $18.8 million, or ($0.49) per share, for the first quarter of 2025, which represents an increase of 10%.

About AVIM Therapy AVIM Therapy is an investigational therapy compatible with standard dual-chamber pacemakers designed to substantially and persistently lower blood pressure. It has been evaluated in pilot studies in patients with hypertension who are also indicated for a pacemaker. MODERATO II, a double-blind, randomized pilot study, showed that patients treated with AVIM Therapy experienced net reductions of 8.1 mmHg in 24-hour ambulatory systolic blood pressure (aSBP) and 12.3 mmHg in office systolic blood pressure (oSBP) at six months when compared to control patients. In addition to reducing blood pressure, clinical results using AVIM Therapy demonstrate improvements in cardiac function and hemodynamics. The BACKBEAT (BradycArdia paCemaKer with atrioventricular interval modulation for Blood prEssure treAtmenT) global pivotal trial is evaluating the safety and efficacy of AVIM Therapy in lowering blood pressure in patients who have systolic blood pressure above target despite anti-hypertensive medication and who are indicated for or have recently received a dual-chamber cardiac pacemaker. AVIM Therapy has been granted two Breakthrough Device Designations by the FDA for the treatment of uncontrolled hypertension in patients who have increased cardiovascular risk. About Virtue SAB Virtue SAB is designed to deliver a proprietary extended-release formulation of sirolimus, SirolimusEFR™ through a non-coated microporous AngioInfusion™ Balloon that protects the drug in transit to consistently deliver a large liquid dose overcoming certain limitations of drug-coated balloons. SirolimusEFR delivered by Virtue SAB has been shown in published preclinical series involving hundreds of arterial deliveries to achieve sustained tissue levels well above the known required therapeutic tissue concentration for inhibiting restenosis (1 ng/mg tissue) for the entire critical healing period of approximately 30 days. Virtue SAB demonstrated positive three-year clinical data in coronary ISR in the SABRE study, a multi-center prospective, independent core lab-adjudicated pilot clinical study of 50 patients conducted in Europe. Virtue SAB has been granted Breakthrough Device Designation by the FDA for specific indications relating to coronary ISR, coronary small vessel disease and peripheral artery disease below-the-knee.

Stereotaxis Reports 2026 First Quarter Financial Results & Business Updates

Financial by 0 comments

Proprietary robotically-navigated MAGiC catheter received U.S. FDA approval in January and is now being utilized at multiple sites across the United States as well as EuropeSynchrony digital operating room system received U.S. FDA clearance in April and initial orders and shipments are ongoingDefinitive agreement to acquire Robocath creates a leading robotic platform, combining complementary technologies to deliver next-generation fully-integrated robotic solutions for the full spectrum of endovascular procedures ST. LOUIS, May 12, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Stereotaxis (NYSE: STXS), a pioneer and global leader in surgical robotics for minimally invasive endovascular intervention, today reported business updates and financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026. “Stereotaxis is in one of the most exciting periods of its history. We are achieving significant regulatory approvals, executing strategic acquisitions, and witnessing the initial green shoots of commercial success with our new product ecosystem,” said David Fischel, Stereotaxis Chairman and CEO. “The operational and commercial friction to ramp up manufacturing and implement new products makes progress gradual, but we are efficiently driving broad-based progress on many fronts in parallel towards an attractive business built on solid foundations.” “The streak of regulatory success that began last year continued in the first part of this year with two essential FDA approvals for the MAGiC cardiac ablation catheter and Synchrony digital surgery system. These regulatory approvals brought to market an entirely new foundational product ecosystem that structurally changes our commercial opportunity. We essentially developed a fresh start-up company on the shoulders of our legacy technology and funded by our legacy business.” “The transformational agreement to acquire Robocath gives Stereotaxis a fully complementary and separate robotic mechanism of action for endovascular device navigation. The combination of our technologies offers a clear vision for how our robotic solution, including the full ecosystem of digital innovations, will enable remote, automated and fully robotic treatment for electrophysiology, interventional cardiology and neurointerventions.” “The still minor revenue contribution from our new catheters is being countered by the headwind of winding down our relationship with Johnson & Johnson. Demand for MAGiC far exceeds supply, and we are rolling out the catheter in both Europe and the US in line with the manufacturing ramp, which continues to progress towards an expected 500 catheters a month by year end. Initial green shoots of adoption demonstrate the strength of our strategy to build a synergistic portfolio of catheters, with disposable revenue per procedure several fold higher than previously. This structural transformation to our disposable business model is taking place as we simultaneously structurally transform our capital business and prepare for multiple GenesisX placements.” 2026 First Quarter Financial ResultsRevenue for the first quarter of 2026 totaled $6.3 million compared to $7.5 million in the prior year first quarter. System revenue of $1.3 million and recurring revenue of $5.0 million compared to $2.0 million and $5.5 million respectively, in the prior year first quarter. System revenue in the quarter reflects partial revenue recognition on the installation of one Genesis system and other ancillary systems. Recurring revenue is pressured by the transition away from the dependency on legacy J&J catheters with still modest contributions from Stereotaxis’ new proprietary catheters. Gross margin for the first quarter of 2026 was 60% of revenue. Recurring revenue gross margin was 66%, and system gross margin was 39%. Operating expenses in the quarter of $9.8 million included $3.1 million in non-cash charges for stock compensation expense, mark-to-market adjustment for acquisition related contingent earnout consideration, and amortization of acquired intangible assets. Excluding these non-cash charges, adjusted operating expenses were $6.7 million, compared to the prior year adjusted operating expenses of $6.8 million. Operating loss and net loss in the first quarter of 2026 were ($6.0) million and ($5.9) million, respectively, compared with ($5.9) million and ($5.8) million in the previous year. Adjusted operating loss and adjusted net loss for the quarter, excluding non-cash charges, were ($2.9) million and ($2.8) million, respectively, compared with ($2.7) million and ($2.6) million in the previous year quarter. Negative free cash flow for the first quarter was ($3.5) million, compared to ($1.8) million in the previous year. Cash Balance and LiquidityAt March 31, 2026, Stereotaxis had cash and cash equivalents of $14.6 million and no debt. Forward Looking ExpectationsStereotaxis anticipates double digit revenue growth for the full year 2026, with annual revenue expected to surpass $40 million. Revenue will grow sequentially over the course of the year in line with manufacturing increases for GenesisX and MAGiC, with revenue in both the third and fourth quarters expected to exceed $10 million. Stereotaxis believes it can advance its strategy, integrate Robocath, and grow significantly without having to subject investors to substantial dilution. The Company expects its balance sheet to allow it to advance its transformative product ecosystem to market, fund its commercialization, and achieve profitability.

Orchestra BioMed Targeting BACKBEAT Trial Enrollment Completion By End of Q3 2026 and Data Presentation in Q2 2027

Coronary/Structural Heart Regulatory by 0 comments

Orchestra BioMed targeting enrollment completion of BACKBEAT Global Pivotal Trial (“BACKBEAT Trial”) by the end of Q3 2026 Orchestra BioMed and Medtronic plc. (NYSE: MDT, “Medtronic”), the Company’s strategic collaborator for the BACKBEAT Trial, intend to submit primary endpoint results for consideration as a late-breaker at a major cardiology conference in Q2 2027Medtronic plans to submit AVIM Therapy-related marketing application for FDA approval after primary endpoint data analyses and reports are complete and pursue subsequent global regulatory approvals, assuming primary safety and efficacy endpoints are met NEW HOPE, Pa., May 12, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Orchestra BioMed Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: OBIO) (“Orchestra BioMed” or the “Company”), a biomedical company accelerating high-impact technologies to patients through strategic partnerships with market-leading global medical device companies, today announced an update to the overall clinical and regulatory timeline for the BACKBEAT Trial evaluating Atrioventricular Interval Modulation Therapy (“AVIM Therapy”) in pacemaker-indicated patients with uncontrolled hypertension despite medications. The Company is targeting completion of enrollment by the end of the third quarter of 2026. Further, the Company and Medtronic, its strategic collaborator for the BACKBEAT Trial and the commercialization of AVIM Therapy for the treatment of uncontrolled hypertension in patients indicated for a pacemaker, plan to submit the primary endpoint data for a late-breaking clinical trial presentation at a major cardiovascular conference in the second quarter of 2027. Lastly, assuming primary safety and efficacy endpoints are met, Medtronic plans to submit a marketing application for FDA approval after primary endpoint data analyses and reports are complete, and subsequently to pursue global regulatory approvals. The updated BACKBEAT Trial timeline is supported by FDA approval of a reduction in the sample size for the clinical trial to a target total of 284 evaluable randomized subjects with the total enrollment target of 316 patients accounting for potential loss to follow up. The primary efficacy endpoint (between-group difference in 24-hour ambulatory systolic blood pressure “aSBP” at 3-month follow up) and primary safety endpoint (freedom from unanticipated serious adverse device events in the AVIM Therapy arm at 3-month follow up) remain robustly powered ( >90% statistical power) at the revised sample size for the trial.  The sample size is designed to detect a between group difference of at least 5 mmHg in aSBP. The change in sample size reflects collaboration among Orchestra BioMed, Medtronic and the FDA under the Breakthrough Devices program, and follows FDA approval of an amendment to the BACKBEAT Trial protocol received on May 8, 2026 by Orchestra BioMed. David Hochman, Chairman, Chief Executive Officer of Orchestra BioMed, commented, “We are delighted to provide clarity on the anticipated overall timeline for the BACKBEAT Trial, which reflects ongoing global enrollment momentum and FDA alignment with a streamlined sample size that remains highly powered to assess AVIM Therapy’s efficacy and safety at the 3-month primary endpoints. We believe BACKBEAT has the potential to be a landmark pivotal trial that can open up an entirely new therapeutic modality for patients at increased risk from high blood pressure and hypertensive heart disease.” Robert C. Kowal, M.D., Ph.D., Vice President and General Manager for Cardiac Pacing Therapies in the Medtronic Cardiac Rhythm Management operating unit, stated, “For decades, cardiac pacing has been foundational in the management of rhythm disorders. With the BACKBEAT Trial, Medtronic and Orchestra BioMed are investigating whether AVIM Therapy can extend the benefits of pacing to the field of hypertension management in high-risk patients. This update reflects our shared confidence in progress toward the completion of enrollment, the submission of data to the FDA, and the presentation of clinical evidence.” About Orchestra BioMed Orchestra BioMed is a biomedical innovation company accelerating high-impact technologies to patients through strategic collaborations with market-leading global medical device companies. The Company’s two flagship product candidates – Atrioventricular Interval Modulation (AVIM) Therapy and Virtue® Sirolimus AngioInfusion™ Balloon (Virtue SAB) – are currently undergoing pivotal clinical trials for their lead indications, each representing multi-billion-dollar annual global market opportunities. AVIM Therapy is a bioelectronic treatment for hypertension, the leading risk factor for death worldwide, and is designed to be delivered by a pacemaker and achieve immediate, substantial and sustained reductions in blood pressure in patients with hypertensive heart disease.
