RxSight, Inc. Reports Second Quarter 2023 Financial Results

RXST

ALISO VIEJO, Calif., Aug. 07, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- RxSight, Inc., an ophthalmic medical device company dedicated to providing high-quality customized vision to patients following cataract surgery, today reported financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023.

Key Quarterly Highlights

  • Reported second quarter 2023 revenue of $20.8 million, an increase of 83% compared to the second quarter of 2022, reflecting:
    • The sale of 67 Light Delivery Devices (LDD™s), representing a 37% increase in unit sales compared to the second quarter of 2022 and expanding the installed base to 523 LDDs at the end of the quarter, representing a 78% increase compared to end of the second quarter of 2022; and
    • The sale of 12,622 Light Adjustable Lenses (LAL®s), representing a 134% increase in procedure volumes compared to the second quarter of 2022.
  • The company increased its full-year 2023 guidance range for revenue, gross margin and operating expense.

“This quarter’s performance marks our 10th consecutive period of solid, year-over-year quarterly revenue growth, reflecting the increasing number of doctors and patients who are selecting our novel LAL system for the precise, high-quality visual outcomes it provides,” said Ron Kurtz, Chief Executive Officer and President of RxSight. “The LAL is the first and only lens that can be customized after cataract surgery, providing patients the opportunity to preview and adjust their vision to meet their specific needs and preferences. While the LAL is still in the early adoption phase, we believe it can ultimately occupy a leading position in the premium cataract market.”

Second Quarter Financial Results

In the second quarter of 2023, total revenue was $20.8 million, an increase of 83% compared to $11.4 million in the second quarter of 2022. Revenue growth was driven by a 36% increase in LDD revenue and a 132% increase in LAL revenue compared to the second quarter of 2022.

Gross profit for the second quarter of 2023 was $12.0 million or 58% of revenue, an increase of $7.2 million or 151% compared to gross profit of $4.8 million or 42% of revenue for the second quarter of 2022.

Total operating expenses for the second quarter of 2023 were $25.6 million, a 25% increase from $20.6 million in the second quarter of 2022, reflecting the company’s ongoing investments to grow its LDD installed base and support increased LAL procedure volumes.

In the second quarter of 2023, the company reported a net loss of $(13.8) million, or $(0.40) per basic and diluted share, compared to net loss of $(16.7) million, or $(0.61) per basic and diluted share in the second quarter of 2022. Adjusted net loss in the second quarter of 2023 was $(9.5) million, or $(0.28) per basic and diluted share, compared to an adjusted net loss of $(13.8) million, or $(0.50) per basic and diluted share in the second quarter of 2022.

Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments as of June 30, 2023, were $147.1 million compared to $153.9 million at March 31, 2023. In the second quarter of 2023, the company raised approximately $19.4 million, net after fees, through the sale of common stock under its “at-the-market” (“ATM”) facility. During the second quarter of 2023, the company used these proceeds and cash reserves to reduce its outstanding debt by $20.0 million and pay associated accrued interest and fees.

Early in the third quarter of 2023, the company raised additional proceeds of approximately $11.9 million, net of fees, through the sale of common stock under its ATM facility. The company used these proceeds and cash reserves to pay off its remaining $20.0 million term loan balance as well as associated accrued interest and fees. Through the elimination of $40.0 million in debt in the second and third quarters of 2023, the company expects to reduce its annual interest expense by approximately $5.6 million.

Financial Outlook

Based on second quarter 2023 performance, the company increased its 2023 full-year revenue, gross margin and operating expense guidance as follows:

  • Revenue of $81.0 million to $86.0 million, representing implied growth of 65% to 75% compared to 2022, up from prior guidance of $79.0 million to $84.0 million
  • Gross margin in range of 58% to 60%, representing an implied increase of 32% to 36% compared to 2022, up from prior guidance of 56% to 58%
  • Operating expenses in the range of $106.0 million to $109.0 million, representing an implied increase of 25% to 29% compared to 2022, up from prior guidance of $105.0 million to $108.0 million.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements presented under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), we believe certain non-GAAP measures, including adjusted net loss, and adjusted net loss per share, basic and diluted, provide useful information to investors and are useful in evaluating our operating performance. For example, we exclude stock-based compensation expense and loss on extinguishment of debt 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 Loss and Adjusted Net Loss Per Share

Adjusted net loss is a non-GAAP financial measure that we define as net loss adjusted for (i) stock-based compensation and (ii) loss on extinguishment of term loan. We believe adjusted net 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 loss to adjusted net loss and the presentation of adjusted net loss per share, basic and diluted, are as follows:
