SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 01, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — iRhythm Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: IRTC), a leading digital health care company focused on creating trusted solutions that detect, prevent, and predict disease, today reported financial results for the three months ended September 30, 2022.
Third Quarter 2022 Financial Results
- Revenue of $103.9 million, a 21.6% increase compared to third quarter 2021
- Gross margin of 68.3%, a 2.6 percentage point improvement compared to third quarter 2021
- Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of $203.5 million as of September 30, 2022
- Updating fiscal year 2022 revenue guidance to a range of approximately $407 million to $411 million
- Improving profitability profile, including updated fiscal year 2022 adjusted EBITDA guidance of negative $10 to negative $12 million
Recent Operational Highlights
- Third quarter registration growth of 22% year-over-year
- Presentations at the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) in August highlighted Zio XT increased arrhythmia detection rates by 216% and reduced time to detection as compared to traditional Holter monitors1
- Detailed refreshed vision and mission, long-term growth strategies, innovation pipeline and financial goals during analyst and investor day in September
- Upcoming data presentations at the American Heart Association (AHA) in Chicago, IL, from November 5-7, 2022
“Despite the ongoing staffing and capacity challenges, we grew registration volumes by more than 20% in the third quarter, achieving our highest daily registration volumes ever as we exited September,” said iRhythm CEO and President, Quentin Blackford. “However, within the quarter, we also realized softness in returned devices – which impacted our ability to perform our services and realize revenue which muted our growth. We view this as persisting into the fourth quarter. These dynamics, as well as fourth quarter trends in account staffing and capacity challenges as well as Zio AT utilization, have led to us reducing our full year revenue guidance.”
“While disappointing, we continue to be encouraged by the underlying momentum of the business as demonstrated by the accelerating daily registration growth in the third quarter. As we shared during our Investor and Analyst Day in September, we continue to believe iRhythm’s innovative device with differentiated AI capabilities and clinically actionable data insights is the gold standard in the space and sets us apart in the marketplace. We remain confident in the strong fundamentals of our business and are dedicated to bringing our innovative solutions to the millions of patients who may benefit,” concluded Mr. Blackford.
Third Quarter Financial Results
Revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2022 increased 21.6% to $103.9 million, from $85.4 million during the same period in 2021. The increase was primarily driven by Zio XT and AT volume growth as well as an increase in net average selling price.
Gross profit for the third quarter of 2022 was $70.9 million, up 26.4% from $56.1 million during the same period in 2021, while gross margins were 68.3%, up from 65.7% during the same period in 2021. The increase in gross profit was primarily due to increased volume and average selling price, partially offset by increases in cost per unit.
Adjusted operating expenses for the third quarter of 2022 were $89.7 million, compared to $79.4 million during the same period in 2021. This increase in adjusted operating expenses resulted primarily from increased resources to scale and higher bad debt expense as a result of incremental volumes. Operating expenses for the third quarter of 2022 were $92.0 million, compared to $79.4 million for the same period in 2021.
Adjusted net loss for the third quarter of 2022 was $19.1 million, or a loss of $0.63 per share, compared with an adjusted net loss of $23.7 million, or a loss of $0.81 per share, for the same period in 2021. Net loss for the third quarter of 2022 was $21.5 million, or a loss of $0.71 per share, compared with net loss of $23.7 million, or a loss of $0.81 per share, for the same period in 2021.
Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments were $203.5 million as of September 30, 2022.
Updated 2022 Annual Guidance
Given volume trends in the third quarter and anticipated volume contributions in the fourth quarter, iRhythm is updating its fiscal year 2022 revenue guidance to range from approximately $407 to $411 million, which represents approximately 26% to 27% growth over the prior year results. This compares to prior fiscal year 2022 revenue guidance of $415 to $420 million.
Gross margin for the fiscal year 2022 is expected to range from approximately 68% to 69% and adjusted operating expenses are expected to range between approximately $360 and $365 million. Adjusted EBITDA for the full year 2022 is expected to range from negative $10 to negative $12 million. This compares to prior fiscal year 2022 adjusted operating expense guidance of $375 and $385 million and prior fiscal year 2022 adjusted EBITDA guidance of negative $12.5 to negative $17.5 million.
