FAQ

Why Bullish?

The strong revenue growth, especially in single-use products, suggests increasing market traction. Historical patterns show similar growth led to price increases in comparable biotech companies.

How important is it?

The report indicates strong performance metrics and strategic progress, which enhances investor confidence. However, the increase in operating expenses and cash depletion presents risks that may temper some investor enthusiasm.

Why Short Term?

The immediate market response will likely reflect strong Q1 results, but longer-term costs must be managed. Past financial disclosures often led to immediate stock price movements based on earnings reports.

This increase is attributable to a year-over-year increase of $1.2 million, or 222%, in product revenue resulting from higher demand for disposables as multiple partners progress in their trials, partially offset by a $0.8 million decrease in service and other revenue, due to less work performed in preclinical trials and consulting during the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024.Neurosurgery navigation and therapy revenue, which primarily consists of disposable product commercial sales related to cases utilizing the ClearPoint system, increased 70% to $3.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025, from $1.9 million for the same period in 2024. The increase is driven by higher sales for new product offerings as well as an increased customer base, during the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024.Capital equipment and software revenue, consisting of sales of ClearPoint reusable hardware and software and related services, decreased 63% to $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, from $1.4 million for the same period in 2024, due to a decrease in the placements of ClearPoint navigation capital equipment and software and Prism laser units, primarily driven by installation timing.The Company achieved a gross margin of 60% on its sales for three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to a gross margin of 59% for the same period in 2024. The increase in gross margin was primarily due to lower excess and obsolete inventory for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to the same period in 2024.Operating expenses were $11.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared with $8.7 million for same period in 2024, an increase of 29%. The increase was mainly driven by higher personnel-related expenses, including share-based compensation, as we increased headcount to fuel the expansion of the research and development, clinical, and support organizations, higher product development costs, an increase in the allowance for credit losses, and higher professional and regulatory fees.At March 31, 2025, the Company had cash and cash equivalents totaling $12.4 million as compared to $20.1 million at December 31, 2024, with the decrease resulting from the use of $6.2 million in cash for operating activities, primarily driven by the payment of the employee annual incentive and $1.3 million for tax payments made related to the net share settlement of equity awards. The net share settlement of equity awards upon vesting results in the Company withholding from the shares issuable at vest a number of shares having a value equal to the employees' tax obligations and remitting a cash payment to the appropriate taxing authority.Teleconference InformationInvestors and analysts are invited to listen to a live broadcast review of the Company's 2025 first quarter results on Tuesday, May 13, 2025 at 4:30 p.m. Eastern time (1:30 p.m. Pacific time) which may be accessed online here: https://event.choruscall.com/mediaframe/webcast.html?webcastid=ZS0iBbgx.
