CAESAREA, Israel, May 22, 2023 /PRNewswire/-- IceCure Medical Ltd. (the "Company" or "IceCure") (Nasdaq: ICCM) (TASE: ICCM) developer of the ProSense® System, a minimally-invasive cryoablation technology that destroys tumors by freezing as an alternative to surgical tumor removal, today reported financial results as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2023 as well as operational and recent corporate developments.
"ProSense is gaining heightened interest among breast surgeons, breast radiologists, and interventional oncologists globally and particularly in the U.S. where we are focusing our commercialization and marketing efforts. We believe this momentum in the market is bolstered by a broader trend toward minimally invasive procedures," stated IceCure CEO Eyal Shamir.
"We continue to engage with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") following the October 2022 filing for marketing authorization for ProSense for early-stage low risk breast cancer in patients who are at high risk for surgery. These ongoing discussions are part of the regulatory submission process. Concurrently, we are highly encouraged by the American Society of Breast Surgeons' ("ASBrS") expressed plans for a cryoablation trial. We believe that such a planned trial could potentially establish a new minimally invasive standard for the treatment of low risk, early-stage breast cancer. We further believe it will support our commercialization plans, and raise awareness among ASBrS members, which include 3,000 of the most influential physicians in breast surgery.
"Globally, we continue to build momentum through regulatory submissions and approvals including in China where our IceSense3 system and cryoprobes are now fully approved for commercial use. In addition, we were pleased to learn of the favorable results from an independent study in France where ProSense and another cryoablation technology were used to treat endometriosis. We expect the continued adoption of ProSense through the rest of 2023.
"Our cash position at the end of the quarter remains strong at over $20 million, and we believe our continued prudent management of our financial resources gives us the confidence to invest in our U.S. commercialization activities as we await the FDA's response."
First Quarter of 2023 and Recent Operating Highlights
Financial Results as of and for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2023
For the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company reported revenue of $0.71 million compared to revenue of $0.75 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. In the first quarter of 2023, sales increased in the U.S. and Europe relative to the same quarter last year.
Gross profit was $0.32 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to approximately $0.43 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. Gross margin was 45% for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to 58% for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The decrease in gross margin compared to the same period last year resulted mostly from an increase in manufacturing costs.
Research and development expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2023, were $2.11 million compared to $2.39 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The decrease was primarily due to a reduction in development expenses of IceCure's next-generation single-probe system, partially offset by an increase in clinical and regulatory activities.
As a result of the Company's expanding commercialization efforts, sales and marketing expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2023, were $1.08 million, compared to $0.75 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022.
General and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2023, were $1.09 million, compared to $1.72 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The decrease is mainly due to a decrease in the cost of directors' and officers' insurance.
Total operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2023, were $4.28 million, compared to $4.86 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The decrease in operating expenses was primarily attributable to a reduction in research and development expenses and cost of directors' and officers' insurance. Net loss reported for the three months ended March 31, 2023, decreased to $3.77 million, or $0.08 per share, compared with a net loss of $4.45 million, or $0.12 per share, for the same period last year.
As of March 31, 2023, the Company had cash and cash equivalents, including short-term deposits, of approximately $20.46 million, compared to $23.66 million as of December 31, 2022.
