Acutus Medical Reports Third Quarter 2020 Results
Carlsbad, Calif. – November 12, 2020 – Acutus Medical, Inc. (“Acutus”) (Nasdaq: AFIB), an arrhythmia management company focused on improving the way cardiac arrhythmias are diagnosed and treated, today reported results for the third quarter of 2020.
Recent Highlights:
| • | Reported revenue of $3.2 million in the third quarter ended September 30, 2020, a 180% increase sequentially and a 391% increase over the same quarter last year. |
| • | Increased worldwide installed base of second generation AcQMap consoles to 37 as of September 30, 2020, up from 21 at the end of the prior quarter – bringing the total installed base of AcQMap consoles to 49 as of September 30, 2020. |
| • | Filled a key role with the addition of Dr. Steve Mickelson as our Chief Translational Science Officer. Dr. Mickelsen is a prominent figure in the emerging area of Pulsed Field Ablation. |
Vince Burgess, President & CEO of Acutus, said, “In the third quarter we saw strong execution by our commercial team and made considerable progress on key development and operational fronts. Despite headwinds from COVID-19, we continued to add new customers and aggressively upgraded existing customers to our groundbreaking second-generation electrophysiology mapping system, AcQMap. Bringing on a new customer in our business requires extensive cross-functional collaboration with our customers and many members of our internal team. The growth of our installed base achieved this quarter demonstrates enthusiastic demand for our technology and terrific execution from our entire team during uniquely challenging times. As we look to the future, we are highly confident that Acutus is well positioned for continued growth in the years ahead.”
Third Quarter 2020 Financial Results
Revenue was $3.2 million for the third quarter of 2020, compared to $1.1 million for the prior quarter and $0.6 million in the third quarter last year. The improvement over the same quarter last year was driven by increased direct sales of Acutus disposables, sales of our AcQMap consoles, and distributor sales through our partner Biotronik as we continue to operationalize this foundational relationship.
Gross margin was negative 62% for the third quarter of 2020, compared with negative 251% 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. Also affecting margins in the quarter were our first ever console sales that are paid for via long-term disposables commitment deals. These types of sales, which will be common at Acutus going forward, allocate a portion of the future disposables’ revenue stream and all of the console COGS at the time of the placement. It is typical for these transactions to result in unfavorable gross margins on the up-front placement of the console that is more than offset by a committed, predictable annuity stream of disposables sales in future quarters. We continue to make significant investments in our manufacturing infrastructure to support our aggressive launch expectations and position us to scale in-house production as our business grows. As volumes increase over time, and the benefit of console sales accrues, we expect to see continuous improvements to our margin profile.

Operating expenses were $24.3 million for the third quarter of 2020, compared with $29.5 million in the same quarter last year. The decrease was driven by a $15.0 million payment for the acquisition and in-licensing of the force sensing product line from Biotronik made during the third quarter of 2019. This decrease was partially offset by 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 associated with our initial public offering and becoming a public company.
Net loss on a GAAP basis was $31.3 million for the third quarter of 2020 and net loss per share was $1.95 on a weighted average basic and diluted outstanding share count of 16.1 million, compared to $32.1 million and a net loss per share of $47.21 on a weighted average basic and diluted outstanding share count of 0.7 million in the same period of the prior year. Excluding non-cash stock-based compensation expense, remeasurement of our warrant liability, and changes in the fair value of contingent consideration, our non-GAAP net loss for the third quarter of 2020 was $21.1 million, or $0.91 per share, compared to $30.6 million, or $1.86 per share, after giving effect to the pro forma conversion of our convertible preferred stock for the third quarter of 2019.
Cash, cash equivalents, marketable securities and restricted cash were $167.0 million as of September 30, 2020, which includes the $166.3 million net proceeds from our IPO, which closed on August 10, 2020.
Outlook and COVID-19
Due to uncertainty surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic, Acutus Medical will not provide financial guidance for the remainder of 2020 at this time. Management will continue to evaluate its guidance policies and anticipates providing an update at the time of its fourth quarter earnings announcement, to the extent practicable, based on available information at that time.
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. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures are important indicators of our operating performance because they exclude items that are non-cash accounting line items unrelated to, and may not be indicative of, our core operating results. These non-GAAP financial measures, as we calculate 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. To the extent we utilize such non-GAAP financial measures in the future, we expect to calculate them using a consistent method from period to period. A reconciliation of each of the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures to the non-GAAP financial measures has been provided under the heading “Reconciliation of GAAP results to Non-GAAP Results” in the financial statement tables attached to this press release.
