Third Quarter 2024 Financial Results

Total revenue for the third quarter of 2024 was $58.4 million, an increase of 66% compared to the prior year period. U.S. revenue was $52.2 million, representing growth of 62% compared to the prior year period. The increase was primarily driven by increased system sales, higher system average selling prices, and increased handpiece and other consumable revenue. U.S. handpiece and consumable revenue for the third quarter of 2024 was $29.6 million, an increase of 74% compared to the prior year period. U.S. system revenue for the third quarter of 2024 was $19.6 million, an increase of 46% compared to the prior year period. As of September 30, 2024, the install base of robotic systems in the U.S. was 445 systems. International revenue was $6.2 million for the quarter, an increase of 122% compared to the prior year period.

Gross margin for the third quarter 2024 was 63.2% compared to 53.8% in the prior year period. Gross margin improvement was primarily due to improved overhead absorption and increased U.S. robotic system average selling prices.

Operating expenses in the third quarter of 2024 were $59.3 million, compared with $44.5 million in the prior year period. The increase was driven by increased sales and marketing expenses primarily to expand the commercial organization and increased research and development expenses.

Net loss was $21.0 million for the third quarter of 2024, compared to a loss of $24.6 million in the prior year period. Adjusted EBITDA was a loss of $12.4 million for the third quarter of 2024, compared to a loss of $19.4 million in the prior year period.

Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash as of September 30, 2024, totaled $199.8 million.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures (Unaudited)
This press release references Adjusted EBITDA, a financial measure that is not prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP). The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as earnings before interest expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization and stock-based compensation. Non-GAAP financial measures are not a substitute for or superior to measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP.

The Company believes that presenting Adjusted EBITDA provides useful supplemental information to investors about the Company in understanding and evaluating its operating results, enhancing the overall understanding of its past performance and future prospects, and allowing for greater transparency with respect to key financial metrics used by its management in financial and operational decision making. However, there are a number of limitations related to the use of non-GAAP measures and their nearest GAAP equivalents. For example, other companies may calculate non-GAAP measures differently, or may use other measures to calculate their financial performance, and therefore any non-GAAP measures the Company uses may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.
