February 25, 2025 16:05 ET  | Source: RxSight, Inc. ALISO VIEJO, Calif., Feb. 25, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- RxSight, Inc., an ophthalmic medical device company dedicated to providing high-quality customized vision to patients following cataract surgery, today announced financial results for the three months and full-year ended December 31, 2024. Key Quarterly and Full-Year Highlights Recognized fourth quarter 2024 revenue of $40.2 million, an increase of 41% compared to the fourth quarter of 2023, reflecting: The sale of 29,069 Light Adjustable Lenses (LAL™/LAL+®), representing an 61% increase in procedure volume compared to the fourth quarter of 2023; andThe sale of 83 Light Delivery Devices (LDD™s), expanding the installed base to 971 LDDs at the end of the quarter, a 46% increase compared to the 666-unit LDD installed base at the end of the fourth quarter of 2023. Recognized full-year 2024 revenue of $139.9 million, a 57% increase over 2023, driven by unit sales of 98,055 LALs and 305 LDDs, representing growth of 79% and 15% respectively, compared to 2023. “The progress we’ve made over the past year has strengthened our conviction that adjustability has the potential to transform the premium cataract market, and that we are still in the early stages of realizing this vision,” said Dr. Ron Kurtz, Chief Executive Officer and President of RxSight. “As we look ahead to 2025 and beyond, we are excited by the opportunity to further expand adoption globally, advance our technology, and continue delivering exceptional outcomes for both patients and practices.” Fourth Quarter Financial Results In the fourth quarter of 2024, total revenue was $40.2 million, an increase of 41% compared to $28.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2023. Revenue growth was driven by a 60% increase in LAL revenue and a 7% increase in LDD revenue, compared to the fourth quarter of 2023. Gross profit for the fourth quarter of 2024 was $28.8 million or 71.6% of revenue, an increase of $11.1 million compared to gross profit of $17.7 million or 61.8% of revenue for the fourth quarter of 2023. The year over year increase in gross profit was driven by continued growth in the percentage of LAL sales as a proportion of total sales, lower cost of sales for both the LDD and LAL, and sustained pricing stability for company’s capital equipment. Total operating expenses for the fourth quarter of 2024 were $37.4 million, a 31% increase from $28.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2023, on an increase in revenue of 41%, reflecting the company’s ongoing investments to grow its LDD installed base and support increased LAL sales volume while managing the company’s operating expenses. In the fourth quarter of 2024, the company reported a net loss of $(5.9) million, or $(0.15) per basic and diluted share, compared to a net loss of $(9.2) million, or $(0.26) per basic and diluted share in the fourth quarter of 2023. Adjusted net earnings in the fourth quarter of 2024 were $1.3 million, or $0.03 per basic and diluted share, compared to an adjusted net loss of $(4.8) million, or $(0.13) per basic and diluted share in the fourth quarter of 2023. Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments as of December 31, 2024, were $237.2 million. Fiscal Year 2024 Financial Results Full-year 2024 total revenue was $139.9 million, an increase of 57% compared to the full year of 2023.  The increase in 2024 revenue was driven by a 78% increase in LAL revenue and 24% increase in LDD revenue compared to 2023. Gross profit for the full year of 2024 was $98.9 million, or 70.7% of revenue compared to gross profit of $53.8 million, or 60.4% of revenue for the full year of 2023. The increase in gross profit was due to a favorable product mix from a greater percentage of revenue from LAL sales and increased margins on the LDD introduced during the third quarter of 2023. Total operating expenses for the full year of 2024 were $135.8 million, a 31% increase from $103.9 million for the full year of 2023. The increase was primarily driven by a higher headcount in sales and marketing to support the growth of the business, costs of operating as a public company and an operating expense increase of $8.0 million in non-cash stock-based compensation expense. In 2024, net loss was $(27.5) million, or $(0.71) per share on a basic and diluted basis compared to a net loss of $(48.6) million, or $(1.41) per share on a basic and diluted basis in 2023. Adjusted net loss was $(2.8) million, or $(0.07) per share on a basic and diluted basis, in 2024, compared to an adjusted net loss of $(31.1) million, or $(0.90) per share on a basic and diluted basis in 2023. 2025 Guidance The company is reiterating guidance for the full-year 2025 revenue, gross profit margin, and operating expenses: Revenue in the range of $185.0 million to $197.0 million, representing implied growth of approximately 32% to 41% compared to 2024;Gross margin in the range of 71% to 73%, representing an implied increase of 30 bps to 230 bps compared to 2024;Operating expenses in the range of $165.0 to $170.0 million, representing an implied increase of 22% to 25% compared to 2024;Operating expense guidance also includes non-cash expenses in the range of $22.0 million to $25.0 million.

For example, we exclude stock-based compensation expense and loss on extinguishment of term loan because these expenses are non-cash in nature and we believe excluding these items provides meaningful supplemental information regarding our operational performance and allows investors the ability to make more meaningful comparisons between our operating results and those of other companies. We believe that non-GAAP financial information, when taken collectively, may be helpful to investors because it provides consistency and comparability with past financial performance. However, non-GAAP financial information is presented for supplemental informational purposes only, has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with GAAP. In addition, other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate similarly titled non-GAAP measures differently or may use other measures to evaluate their performance. A reconciliation is provided below for each non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable financial measure stated in accordance with GAAP. Investors are encouraged to review the related GAAP financial measures and the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business. Adjusted Net Earnings (Loss) and Adjusted Net Earnings (Loss) Per Share Adjusted net earnings (loss) is a non-GAAP financial measure that we define as net earnings (loss) adjusted for (i) stock-based compensation and (ii) loss on extinguishment of term loan. We believe adjusted net earnings (loss) provides investors with useful information on period-to-period performance as evaluated by management and comparison with our past financial performance and is useful in evaluating our operating performance compared to that of other companies in our industry, as this metric generally eliminates the effects of certain items that may vary from company to company for reasons unrelated to overall operating performance. Reconciliations of net earnings (loss) to adjusted net earnings (loss) and the presentation of adjusted net earnings (loss) per share, basic and diluted, are as follows: RxSIGHT, INC.GAAP To NON-GAAP RECONCILIATIONS (UNAUDITED)(In thousands, except share and per share amounts)          Three months ended December 31,  Year ended December 31,   2024  2023  2024  2023 Common Stock            Numerator:            Net loss available to stockholders, basic and diluted $(5,938) $(9,176) $(27,455) $(48,608)Add:            Stock-based compensation  7,282   4,425   24,635   15,746 Loss on extinguishment of term loan  —   —   —   1,769 Adjusted net income (loss) available to common stockholders, basic and diluted: $1,344  $(4,751) $(2,820) $(31,093)             Denominator:            Weighted-average shares outstanding, basic  40,356,756   35,961,894   38,867,726   34,455,111 Weighted-average shares outstanding, diluted  45,622,429   35,961,894   38,867,726   34,455,111 Adjusted net earnings (loss) per share, basic $0.03  $(0.13) $(0.07) $(0.90)Adjusted net earnings (loss) per share, diluted $0.03  $(0.13) $(0.07) $(0.90)
