Acutus Medical Reports Second Quarter 2020 Financial Results

Carlsbad, Calif. – September 17, 2020 – Acutus Medical, Inc. (“Acutus”) (Nasdaq: AFIB), today reported financial results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2020.

Recent Highlights:

 

   

Reported revenue of $1.1 million in the second quarter of 2020, a 54% increase over the same quarter last year and within the preliminary range disclosed in our initial public offering (“IPO”) prospectus.

 

   

Increased worldwide installed base of AcQMap consoles to 38 as of June 30, 2020, up from 31 at the end of the prior quarter. Of those 38 consoles, 21 were 2nd generation machines, up from 11 at the end of the prior quarter.

 

   

During August, completed an initial public offering of 10.1 million shares, raising $163.3 million in net proceeds.

“In light of the challenging circumstances experienced by medical device companies generally during the first half of 2020, I’m very pleased with our second quarter results and the dedication demonstrated by our team to our mission of improving the efficiency and effectiveness of arrhythmia treatment,” said Vince Burgess, President and Chief Executive Officer. “While we did see widespread interruptions to hospital electrophysiology services in the US and Europe due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we nevertheless saw strong console placements in the second quarter. We also saw many of our EP customers begin to re-open their labs in the latter half of Q2, driving an encouraging trend toward recovery to procedure rates, so we feel well positioned as we look to continue our growth.”

Second Quarter 2020 Financial Results

Revenue was $1.1 million for the second quarter of 2020, compared to $1.6 million for the prior quarter and $0.7 million for the second quarter of 2019, and within the preliminary range disclosed in our IPO prospectus. Headwinds from the global pandemic drove a procedural decline during the second quarter of 2020 relative to the first quarter of 2020. The increase in revenue when compared to the second quarter of 2019 was driven by increased disposables sales associated with the expansion of our AcQMap console installed base as we initiated our full commercial launch.

Gross margin was negative 135% for the second quarter of 2020, compared with negative 232% in the same quarter last year. The improvement was driven by greater production volumes and efficiencies in labor and manufacturing overhead absorption when compared to the same period last year. Over time and in advance of our full future requirements we have made significant investments in our manufacturing infrastructure to support our commercial launch in order to position us to scale production in-house as our business grows. As volumes increase over time, we expect to see the benefit of these investments and improvements to our margin profile.

Operating expenses were $17.9 million for the second quarter of 2020, compared with $12.2 million in the same quarter last year. The increase was driven primarily due to the expansion of our commercial team in conjunction with our full commercial launch, various R&D projects related to console enhancements and catheter development programs, and increased G&A costs incurred in anticipation of our becoming a public company.

We effected a 1-for-9.724 reverse split of our capital stock on July 28, 2020 in anticipation of our IPO. We have retrospectively adjusted outstanding shares to reflect the impact of the reverse stock split for all periods presented. Net loss was $23.2 million for the second quarter of 2020 and net loss per share was $32.24 on a weighted-average basic and diluted outstanding share count of 0.72 million, compared to $30.3 million and a net loss per share of $45.70 on a weighted-average basic and outstanding diluted share count of 0.66 million in the same period of the prior year. It is important to note these figures are based on pre-IPO share counts and do not reflect the conversion of 16.6 million shares of convertible preferred stock to common nor the issuance of 10.1 million common shares at the IPO. Beginning in the third quarter of 2020, these 26.7 million shares will be included in our calculation of weighted-average basic and diluted share counts, which will significantly reduce our net loss per share for future reporting periods as compared to reporting periods prior to our IPO.

Cash, cash equivalents, marketable securities and restricted cash were $29.5 million as of June 30, 2020, which excludes the $163.3 million net proceeds from our IPO, which closed on August 10, 2020.
