Acutus Medical Reports First Quarter 2023 Financial Results

CARLSBAD, Calif., May 11, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Acutus Medical, Inc. (“Acutus” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: AFIB), an arrhythmia management company focused on improving the way cardiac arrhythmias are diagnosed and treated, today reported results for the first quarter of 2023.

Recent Highlights:

•Reported revenue of $4.2 million for the first quarter of 2023, a 13% increase compared to $3.7 million for the same quarter last year

•Continued improvement in financial performance with year-over-year reductions of 58% in GAAP operating expenses, and year-over-year reductions of 39% in both non-GAAP operating expenses and cash burn for the first quarter of 2023

•Increased full year revenue outlook to $19.0 million-$21.0 million, reflecting strong double-digit growth

•Announced publication of the RECOVER AF study, which underscored AcQMap’s differentiated offering for retreatment procedures and ability to fulfill a major unmet need in the market

“We are pleased with the advancement of our key strategic initiatives thus far in 2023 as we set the foundation for stronger growth”, said David Roman, President & CEO of Acutus. “In addition to year-over-year revenue growth, our first quarter results demonstrated further progress in our effort to strengthen the Company’s financial position with year-over-year improvements in non-GAAP gross margin, operating expenses, and cash burn.”

First Quarter 2023 Financial Results

Revenue was $4.2 million for the first quarter of 2023, an increase of 13% compared to $3.7 million for the first quarter of 2022. The improvement over the same quarter last year was driven by higher AcQMap disposable revenue in markets outside the United States, increased Service, Rent and Other Revenue, and sales through the Company’s distribution agreement with Medtronic.

Gross margin on a GAAP basis was negative 63% for the first quarter of 2023 compared to negative 89% for the same quarter last year. The improvement was primarily driven by a higher production volume, lower manufacturing variances, and a significantly reduced manufacturing overhead structure.

Operating expenses consisting of research and development and selling, general and administrative expenses on a GAAP basis were $15.7 million for the first quarter of 2023 compared with $22.4 million for the same quarter last year. Non-GAAP operating expenses were $13.9 million for the first quarter of 2023 compared with $22.7 million in the same quarter last year. The decrease in operating expenses on both a GAAP and Non-GAAP basis resulted from the Company’s restructuring actions in the first half of 2022, reduced by discretionary spend, and the reprioritization of certain research and development programs.

Net loss on a GAAP basis was $16.3 million for the first quarter of 2023 and net loss per share was $0.57 on a weighted average basic and diluted outstanding share count of 28.8 million, compared to a net loss of $40.0 million and a net loss per share of $1.42 on a weighted average basic and diluted outstanding share count of 28.1 million in the same period of the prior year.

Excluding amortization of acquired intangibles, non-cash stock-based compensation expense, restructuring charges, change in fair value of warrant liability, change in the fair value of contingent consideration and gain on sale of business, the Company’s non-GAAP net loss for the first quarter of 2023 was $16.8 million, or $0.59 per share, compared to a net loss of $28.5 million, or $1.00 per share, for the first quarter of 2022.

Cash, cash equivalents, marketable securities and restricted cash were $76.7 million as of March 31, 2023.

2023 Outlook

The company now expects full year 2023 revenue to be in a range from $19.0-$21.0 million.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release includes references to non-GAAP net loss and non-GAAP basic and diluted net loss per share, which are non-GAAP financial measures, to provide information that may assist investors in understanding the Company’s financial results and assessing its prospects for future performance. The Company believes these non-GAAP financial measures are important indicators of its operating performance because they exclude items that are primarily non-cash accounting line items unrelated to, and may not be indicative of, the Company’s core operating results. These non-GAAP financial measures, as Acutus calculates them, may not necessarily be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies and may not be appropriate measures for comparing the performance of other companies relative to the Company. These non-GAAP financial results are not intended to represent and should not be considered to be more meaningful measures than, or alternatives to, measures of operating performance as determined in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP net loss is defined as net loss before income taxes, adjusted for stock-based compensation, amortization of acquisition-related intangibles, employee retention credit, goodwill impairment, restructuring charges, changes in the fair value of contingent consideration, gain on sale of business, loss on debt extinguishment and change in fair value of warrant liability and other adjustments. To the extent such non-GAAP financial measures are used in the future, the Company expects to calculate them using a consistent method from period to period. A reconciliation of the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure to the non-GAAP financial measure has been provided under the heading “Reconciliation of GAAP Results to Non-GAAP Results” in the financial statement tables attached to this press release.

Webcast and Conference Call Information

Acutus will host a conference call to discuss the first quarter 2023 financial results after market close on Thursday, May 11, 2023 at 1:30 p.m. Pacific Time / 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time.
