Business Outlook

“ClearPoint enjoyed another record quarter, driven by our continued focus on biologics and drug delivery pre-clinical services which we provide to our growing list of biotech and pharma partners,” commented Joe Burnett, President and CEO of ClearPoint Neuro. “Our four-pillar growth strategy continues to make progress, and to be the backbone of our vision and success as it has informed a number of very important strategic pivots over the past couple of years including expanding pre-clinical services and capabilities, entering the therapeutic device market with the PRISM Laser Therapy System, and evolving our navigation platform beyond the MRI and into the operating room. We believe we are well-positioned for the future and that is a testament to our world class management team and every ClearPoint employee that is dedicated to serving our patients and our customers. Our first quarter performance for both revenue and cash usage are in-line with our plan, and we continue to expect 2023 revenue to be in the range of $25 - $27 million representing 22% to 35% growth year over year.”
Financial Results – Quarter Ended March 31, 2023
Total revenue was $5.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, and $5.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, which represents an increase of $0.4 million, or 8%.



Functional neurosurgery navigation and therapy revenue, increased 5% to $2.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, from $2.2 million for the same period in 2022. The growth was driven by higher service revenue.
Biologics and drug delivery revenue, which includes sales of disposable products and services related to customer-sponsored pre-clinical and clinical trials utilizing our products, increased 24% to $2.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, from $2.2 million for the same period in 2022. This increase is attributable to a $0.8 million increase in service revenue, partially offset by $0.3 million decrease in product revenue.
Capital equipment and software revenue, consisting of sales of ClearPoint reusable hardware and software, and of related services, decreased 38% to $0.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, from $0.6 million for the same period in 2022 as a result of fewer placements of ClearPoint capital and software.
Gross margin for the three months ended March 31, 2023, was 59%, as compared to a gross margin of 64% for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The decrease in gross margin was primarily due to changes in overhead costs and other inventory costs as well as higher costs for biologics and drug delivery services.
Operating expenses for the first quarter of 2023 were $8.9 million, compared to $7.1 million for the first quarter of 2022. The increase was mainly driven by the increase in headcount across the organization and share based compensation.
At March 31, 2023, the Company had cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments totaling $31.7 million as compared to $37.5 million at December 31, 2022, with the decrease resulting primarily from the use of cash in operating activities of $5.7 million.
