“We continue to be encouraged by our results thus far in 2019 – both financially and operationally – as our organization continues to improve execution on all fronts,” said Doug Godshall, President and Chief Executive Officer. “The balanced mix of our products, both geographically and clinically, combined with the strong interest from physicians, speaks to the versatility of our IVL technology and its ability to help patients with complex calcified cardiovascular disease. Our progress operationally, clinically and financially is encouraging and gives us confidence to continue expanding and enhancing our team.”
Second Quarter 2019 Financial Results
Revenue for the second quarter of 2019 was $10.0 million, an increase of $7.7 million, or 339%, compared to the second quarter of 2018. The growth was primarily driven by the increased sales of our M5 IVL catheter in the U.S. and the growth of our C2 international business.
Gross profit for the second quarter of 2019 was $5.9 million compared to $1.1 million for the second quarter of 2018. The gross margin percentage for the second quarter of 2019 increased to 59% compared to 48% in the second quarter of 2018, driven primarily by increased efficiencies and higher production volume, which improved the absorption of fixed costs.
Operating expenses were $17.1 million for the second quarter of 2019 compared to $11.3 million in the corresponding prior year period, an increase of 52%, primarily driven by commercial expansion, increased spend on clinical programs and costs associated with being a public company.
Net loss was $10.6 million in the second quarter of 2019, as compared to $10.1 million in the corresponding period of the prior year. Net loss per share was $0.38 in the second quarter of 2019.
Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments totaled $125.1 million as of June 30, 2019.
2019 Financial Guidance
Shockwave Medical projects revenue for the full year 2019 to range from $38 million to $40 million, which represents 210% to 226% growth over the company’s prior year revenue.
