SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 03, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- iRhythm Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: IRTC), a leading digital health care company focused on creating trusted solutions that detect, predict, and prevent disease, today reported financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023.

Second Quarter 2023 Financial Results

• Revenue of $124.1 million, a 21.6% increase compared to second quarter 2022
• Gross margin of 69.5%, a 70-basis point improvement compared to second quarter 2022
• Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of $164.7 million as of June 30, 2023
• Updated fiscal year 2023 revenue guidance in a range of approximately $485 million to $490 million

Recent Operational Highlights

• Second-highest quarter ever of Zio XT new account openings and continued volume growth across both Zio XT and Zio AT with balanced growth across multiple channels
• Zio granted high medical needs designation by Japanese Ministry of Health, Labour, and Welfare ("MHLW") and the Company submitted a Shonin pre-market application to the Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency ("PMDA") for regulatory review
• Upcoming data presentations at the European Society of Cardiology ("ESC") Congress in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, from August 25-28, 2023

"We delivered another strong performance during the second quarter as we realized continued balanced growth across both Zio XT and Zio AT and across multiple channels, building on the solid momentum we achieved earlier this year," said Quentin Blackford, iRhythm’s President and CEO. "Revenue growth of 21.6% year-over-year was driven by increasing demand for Zio services as we continue to redefine the standard of cardiac care and demonstrate our unique value proposition to customers, patients, and payers. This past quarter was the first in which our commercial teams were able to speak to the CAMELOT study of real-world evidence for Zio XT as we continued to increase penetration within our existing accounts and gained traction within the primary care space."

"As we've moved into the third quarter, we have also hit several milestones that we believe are important to building our international presence. In Japan, we are thrilled that the Zio Monitor System has been granted high medical needs designation by the MHLW at the recommendation of the Japanese Heart Rhythm Society (JHRS), and we look forward to continuing our collaboration with the JHRS and the PMDA during their review of our regulatory dossier. In Switzerland, we have initiated our first engagement with one of the country's five university hospitals. With continued momentum in our core U.S. business, progress with market access exploration and operational efforts in certain international markets, an improving financial profile, and the broader Zio Monitor commercial launch in the United States later this year, we are encouraged by the significant opportunities ahead of us that we believe will allow us to capture growth for years to come," concluded Mr. Blackford.

Second Quarter Financial Results

Revenue for the second quarter of 2023 was $124.1 million, up 21.6% from $102.1 million during the same period in 2022. The increase was driven by growth in volume of Zio services, partially offset by a decline in net average selling price.

Gross profit for the second quarter of 2023 was $86.2 million, up 22.7% from $70.2 million during the same period in 2022, while gross margin was 69.5%, up from 68.8% during the same period in 2022. The increase in gross profit was primarily due to increased volume and a reduction in cost per unit.

Operating expenses for the second quarter of 2023 were $105.1 million, compared to $93.7 million for the same period in 2022. Adjusted operating expenses for the second quarter of 2023 were $99.7 million, compared to $93.5 million during the same period in 2022. This increase in adjusted operating expenses resulted primarily from increased payroll-related costs to support growth in operations.

Net loss for the second quarter of 2023 was $18.5 million, or a diluted loss of $0.61 per share, compared with net loss of $23.9 million, or a diluted loss of $0.80 per share, for the same period in 2022. Adjusted net loss for the second quarter of 2023 was $13.1 million, or a diluted loss of $0.43 per share, compared with an adjusted net loss of $23.7 million, or a diluted loss of $0.79 per share, for the same period in 2022.

Cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities were $164.7 million as of June 30, 2023.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We refer to certain financial measures that are not recognized under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in this press release, including adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net loss, adjusted net loss per share, and adjusted operating expenses. We use these non-GAAP financial measures for financial and operational decision-making and as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons. See the schedules attached to this press release for additional information and reconciliations of such non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP measures. We have not reconciled our adjusted operating expenses and adjusted EBITDA estimates for full year 2023 because certain items that impact these figures are uncertain or out of our control and cannot be reasonably predicted. Accordingly, a reconciliation of adjusted operating expenses and adjusted EBITDA estimates is not available without unreasonable effort.

Adjusted EBITDA excludes non-cash operating charges for stock-based compensation, depreciation and amortization as well as non-operating items such as interest income, interest expense, income tax provision, impairment and restructuring charges, and business transformation costs.

We exclude the following items from non-GAAP financial measures for adjusted net loss, adjusted net loss per share and adjusted operating expenses:

• impairment and restructuring charges, and
• business transformation costs, which include one-time professional services and severance costs to augment and restructure the organization to use both outsourced and offshore resources.
