RxSight Reports Second Quarter 2021 Financial Results

Sep 09, 2021

ALISO VIEJO, Calif., Sept. 09, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- RxSight, Inc., an ophthalmic medical device company dedicated to improving the vision of patients following cataract surgery, today reported financial results for the three months ended June 30, 2021.

Recent Highlights

  • Achieved second quarter 2021 revenue of $4.9 million, representing growth of 81% compared to the prior year period, driven by:
    • Sale of 25 Light Delivery Devices (LDD™s), expanding the installed base to 130 LDDs as of June 30, 2021; and
    • Sale of 1,825 Light Adjustable Lenses (LAL®s)
  • Received U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) approval and launched the updated LAL with ActivShield™ technology in the third quarter of 2021, providing redundant ultraviolet light (UV) protection to simplify patient compliance and scheduling;
  • Expanded commercial leadership with the addition of Steve Everly as Vice President of U.S. Sales and appointed three new Directors to its Board including Robert (Bob) Palmisano, Robert Warner and Julie Andrews; and
  • Completed an initial public offering (IPO) in July raising approximately $120 million of net proceeds.

“Our second quarter performance was driven by further adoption of our Light Adjustable Lens system, which provides doctors with a premium intraocular lens (IOL)  that can be customized after surgery to achieve optimal outcomes for patients,” said Ron Kurtz, Chief Executive Officer of RxSight®. Dr. Kurtz continued, “As a result of the post-operative adjustability provided by the RxSight system doctors can be confident they will deliver the visual acuity and quality all patients expect, overcoming one of the major factors that has limited growth of the premium IOL market.  We are excited that following the completion of our IPO, we have the resources to grow our business, including advancing our technology with features like ActivShield.”

Financial Results
Total revenue for the second quarter of 2021 was $4.9 million, an increase of 81% compared to $2.7 million for the second quarter of 2020. The growth was primarily driven by increased LDD and LAL unit sales and a more favorable market environment because of the reduced impact from the COVID-19 pandemic.

Gross (loss) for the second quarter of 2021 was $(0.8) million compared to $(0.5) million for the second quarter of 2020. The decline in gross profit was due to a $1.7 million inventory reserve for excess LAL inventory resulting from the recent introduction of an updated LAL with ActivShield technology.

Total operating expenses for the second quarter of 2021 were $13.1 million, a 57% increase from $8.3 million in the second quarter of 2020. The increase was primarily driven by higher headcount in sales and marketing to support the growth of the business and continued investments in research and development.

Net (loss) was $(13.5) million, or $(3.28) and $(3.53) per share on a basic and diluted basis, respectively, in the second quarter of 2021, compared to a net (loss) attributable to common shareholders of $(17.0) million, or $(4.66) per share in the second quarter of 2020.

Adjusted net (loss) was $(13.3) million, or $(3.24) per share on a basic and diluted basis, in the second quarter of 2021, compared to $(11.7) million, or $(3.21) per share on both a basic and diluted basis, in the second quarter of 2020.

Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments as of June 30, 2021 were $61.7 million and long-term debt was $40.0 million. On July 29, 2021 $120 million in net proceeds were raised through the completion of an initial public offering.

On Thursday, September 9, 2021, at 1:30 p.m. Pacific Time, the company will host a conference call to discuss its second quarter 2021 financial results. The call may be accessed through a live and archived webcast of the event available for one year at https://investors.rxsight.com/

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements presented under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), we believe certain non-GAAP measures, including Adjusted net (loss), and Adjusted net (loss) per share, basic and diluted, provide useful information to investors and are useful in evaluating our operating performance. For example, we exclude stock-based compensation expense and the change in fair value of warrants because these are non-cash in nature and excluding these items provides meaningful supplemental information regarding our operational performance and allows investors the ability to make more meaningful comparisons between our operating results and those of other companies.

We believe that non-GAAP financial information, when taken collectively, may be helpful to investors because it provides consistency and comparability with past financial performance. However, non-GAAP financial information is presented for supplemental informational purposes only, has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with GAAP. In addition, other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate similarly titled non-GAAP measures differently or may use other measures to evaluate their performance. A reconciliation is provided below for each non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable financial measure stated in accordance with GAAP. Investors are encouraged to review the related GAAP financial measures and the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business.

Adjusted Net (Loss) and Adjusted Net (Loss) Per Share

Adjusted net (loss) is a non-GAAP financial measure that we define as net (loss) adjusted for (i) stock-based compensation and (ii) change in fair value of warrants. We believe Adjusted net (loss) provides investors with useful information on period-to-period performance as evaluated by management and comparison with our past financial performance and is useful in evaluating our operating performance compared to that of other companies in our industry, as this metric generally eliminates the effects of certain items that may vary from company to company for reasons unrelated to overall operating performance. Adjusted net (loss) for Series G Common Stock is not impacted by the adjustments.

Reconciliations of net (loss) to Adjusted net (loss) and the presentation of Adjusted net (loss) per share, basic and diluted, are as follows:
