CARLSBAD, Calif., Aug. 11, 2022 (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 second quarter of 2022.

Recent Updates:

• Reported revenue of $4.1 million in the second quarter of 2022, compared to $3.7 million in the first quarter of 2022, and $4.7 million in the same quarter last year.
• Global mapping procedures volumes increased 20% from the same quarter last year.
• Completed first closing of the left-heart access portfolio sale to Medtronic, Inc. and debt refinancing to fund strategic growth priorities on June 30, 2022.

“Our teams continued to execute our strategy in the second quarter, as we intensify focus on utilization and procedure volume as the key drivers of our business,” said David Roman, President & CEO of Acutus. “We registered another quarter of record procedure volumes with year-over-year growth worldwide. Higher procedure volume was complemented by increased revenue share capture within our accounts, as electrophysiologists increase adoption of the Acutus product portfolio. In addition to positive trends in utilization, we made significant strides to strengthen our financial position, completing the first closing of our left-heart access portfolio sale to Medtronic, refinancing our debt, and implementing further cost reduction initiatives.”

Second Quarter 2022 Financial Results
Revenue was $4.1 million for the second quarter of 2022, compared to $4.7 million in the second quarter last year. This decrease of $0.6 million, or 13%, was primarily attributable to a decrease of $0.5 million in capital revenue and $0.2 million in disposable revenue as stocking orders for AcQMap installs declined with the decrease in new customer accounts. Gross margin was negative 138% for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and negative 59% for the three months ended June 30, 2021. This decrease in gross margin was primarily attributable to excess and obsolescence charges to inventory, recognition of manufacturing variances, and idle capacity on console manufacturing.

Excluding the net gain on the sale of our left-heart access portfolio of $43.6 million, operating expenses on a GAAP basis were $23.0 million for the second quarter of 2022, compared with $24.5 million in the same quarter last year. The decrease of $1.5 million was primarily attributable to a decrease of $2.7 million related to headcount related expenses, offset by a change in fair value of $1.2 million for the contingent consideration related to the acquisition of Rhythm Xience, Inc.

Net income on a GAAP basis was $5.7 million for the second quarter of 2022 and net income per share was $0.16 on a weighted average basic and diluted outstanding share count of 28.3 million, compared to a net loss of $28.7 million and a net loss per share of $1.02 on a weighted average basic and diluted outstanding share count of 28.2 million in the same period of the prior year. Excluding amortization of acquired intangibles, non-cash stock-based compensation expense, goodwill impairment, gain on sale of business, debt refinancing charges, restructuring charges, the employee retention credit benefit and changes in the fair value of contingent consideration, the Company’s non-GAAP net loss for the second quarter of 2022 was $26.2 million, or $0.93 per share, compared to a net loss of $25.0 million, or $0.89 per share in the same period of the prior year.

Total cash, cash equivalents, marketable securities and restricted cash was $93.1 million as of June 30, 2022.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release includes references to non-GAAP net loss and non-GAAP 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 income (loss) before income taxes, adjusted for stock-based compensation, amortization of acquisition-related intangibles, acquisition related costs, discontinued operations, asset/goodwill impairments, changes in the fair value of contingent consideration, restructuring charges, stock repurchases and other adjustments for non-operating items, such as gain on sale of business, debt financing charges, and employee retention credit benefits. 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.
