Corindus Vascular Robotics Reports Second Quarter 2017 Results

WALTHAM, Mass.--()--Corindus Vascular Robotics, Inc. (NYSE American: CVRS), a leading developer of precision vascular robotics, today reported financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2017.

Recent Highlights and Accomplishments

  • Revenue of $2.3 million in the second quarter 2017
  • Increased CorPath® GRX installed base to 16 systems with three new systems and four purchased upgrades in the second quarter
  • Ten additional CorPath GRX Systems scheduled for installation before year-end, including seven new systems and three purchased upgrades
  • Launched the PRECISION GRX Registry, a post-market registry to continue market surveillance of the second generation CorPath GRX System

“Our second quarter results reflect continued commercial progress,” said Mark Toland, President and Chief Executive Officer of Corindus. “We are encouraged by our growing traction with the CorPath GRX among our hospital and clinician partners and are currently in late-stage purchase negotiations with ten hospitals. We are also in active discussions with over 60 prospective customers to generate additional system orders in 2017. We look forward to accelerating momentum in the back half of the year and remain comfortable with our 2017 revenue guidance of $13 million to $15 million.”

Second Quarter 2017 Financial Results

Revenue for the second quarter of 2017 was $2.3 million compared to $0.5 million for the same period in the prior year. The increase is due primarily to CorPath GRX Systems and capital upgrade sales.

Installed three new CorPath GRX Systems in the second quarter of 2017, increasing the installed base of CorPath GRX to 16 systems and the total installed base to 51 CorPath Systems. Shipped 303 cassettes in the second quarter 2017. The installed base of 16 CorPath GRX systems accounted for almost 90% of all CorPath cassettes shipped for revenue in the second quarter.

Gross profit was $58,000 for the second quarter of 2017, compared to a gross loss of $0.6 million for the second quarter of 2016. Cost of revenues for the second quarter of 2017 continued to include the effect of under-utilization of production facilities as well as the cost of CorPath GRX system upgrades installed pursuant to contractual service arrangements with no corresponding revenue in the period.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $5.9 million in the second quarter of 2017, compared to $4.4 million in the second quarter of 2016. The increase is primarily due to increased compensation and travel expenses associated primarily with incremental sales headcount, investment in our medical education and international sales initiatives, and incremental non-cash stock-based compensation expense related to the CEO and Commercial leadership transitions during 2016. Research and development expenses were $2.5 million for the second quarter of 2017 compared to $2.3 million in the second quarter of 2016.

Net loss was $8.4 million for the second quarter of 2017, compared to a net loss of $7.6 million in the second quarter of 2016.

Cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2017 were $35.2 million.

2017 Guidance

Corindus continues to expect full year 2017 revenue in the range of $13 million to $15 million as well as the implementation of at least 25 new cardiovascular programs in 2017.

About Corindus Vascular Robotics, Inc.

Corindus Vascular Robotics, Inc. is a global technology leader in robotic-assisted vascular interventions. The Company's CorPath® System is the first FDA-cleared medical device to bring robotic precision to percutaneous coronary interventions. During the procedure, the interventional cardiologist sits at a radiation-shielded workstation to advance guide catheters, stents, and guidewires with millimeter-by-millimeter precision. The workstation allows the physician greater control and the freedom from wearing heavy lead protective equipment that causes musculoskeletal injuries. With the CorPath System, Corindus Vascular Robotics brings robotic precision to interventional procedures to help optimize clinical outcomes and minimize the costs associated with complications of improper stent placement during manual procedures. Corindus stands behind its product with its unique $1,000 hospital credit "One Stent Program." For additional information, visit www.corindus.com, and follow @CorindusInc.
