Recent Operational Highlights

• Nearing operational readiness for four European country Zio launches with first patient patching anticipated before year-end and anticipate Japanese regulatory decision in late 2024
• Achieved significant operational milestone in May 2024 with launch of initial phase of manufacturing automation to set the stage for future growth, innovation, and operational efficiency in 2H24 and beyond

"The second quarter of 2024 was another quarter of continued traction in our core markets reflective of record demand for Zio products and services," said Quentin Blackford, president and chief executive officer of iRhythm. "Second quarter revenue growth of 19.3% year-over-year was driven by continued uptake from new accounts opened in the prior twelve months but also expansion of the ambulatory cardiac monitoring market by pushing deeper into primary care channels. Zio’s value proposition to address the quintuple aim of healthcare is clearly resonating with providers in integrated delivery networks as well as large, national primary care accounts. This strength in our core market has given us confidence to raise our revenue guidance and profitability targets for the full year."

"Additionally, we are thrilled with the progress we are making to expand and scale the Zio platform for global markets. We are excited about our upcoming commercial launches in four European countries and we continue to anticipate a Japanese regulatory decision on our submitted dossier in late 2024, both of which are demonstrative of iRhythm’s commitment to introducing a better way to monitor for arrhythmias to millions more patients globally. With strong momentum in our core business and multiple catalysts on the horizon, we could not be more excited about our position moving into the back half of 2024."

Second Quarter Financial Results

Revenue for the second quarter of 2024 was $148.0 million, up 19.3% from $124.1 million during the same period in 2023. The increase was driven by growth in demand for Zio services as well as a slight increase in average selling price.

Gross profit for the second quarter of 2024 was $103.5 million, up 20.0% from $86.2 million during the same period in 2023, while gross margin was 69.9%, up from 69.5% during the same period in 2023. The increase in gross profit was primarily due to increased volume of Zio services provided due to higher demand. The increase in gross margin was primarily due to the increase in selling price and manufacturing efficiencies, offset by accelerated recognition of the cost of our legacy Zio XT components associated with our ongoing Zio monitor commercial launch as well as costs related to scaling and training newly onboarded clinical cardiac technicians at our San Francisco IDTF center of excellence.

Operating expenses for the second quarter of 2024 were $126.5 million, compared to $105.1 million for the same period in 2023. Adjusted operating expenses for the second quarter of 2024 were $125.2 million, compared to $99.7 million during the same period in 2023. This increase in adjusted operating expenses resulted primarily from increased headcount-related and third-party costs to support growth in operations and the further development, enhancement, and functionality of our current and future product offerings.

Net loss for the second quarter of 2024 was $20.1 million, or a diluted loss of $0.65 per share, compared with net loss of $18.5 million, or a diluted loss of $0.61 per share, for the same period in 2023. Adjusted net loss for the second quarter of 2024 was $18.8 million, or a diluted loss of $0.61 per share, compared with an adjusted net loss of $13.1 million, or a diluted loss of $0.43 per share, for the same period in 2023.

Unrestricted cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities were $561.5 million as of June 30, 2024.

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. We have not reconciled our adjusted operating expenses and adjusted EBITDA estimates for full year 2024 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 expense, impairment and restructuring charges, business transformation costs, and loss on extinguishment of debt. Business transformation costs include costs associated with professional services, employee termination and relocation, third-party merger and acquisition, integration, and other costs to augment and restructure the organization, inclusive of both outsourced and offshore resources.
