ALISO VIEJO, Calif., Aug. 05, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- (NASDAQ: RXST) - 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 months ended June 30, 2024.
Key Quarterly Highlights
- Reported second quarter 2024 revenue of $34.9 million, an increase of 68% compared to the second quarter of 2023, reflecting:
- The sale of 24,214 Light Adjustable Lenses (LAL/LAL+), representing a 92% increase in procedure volume compared to the second quarter of 2023;
- The sale of 78 Light Delivery Devices (LDDs), representing a 16% increase in unit sales compared to the second quarter of 2023 and expanding the installed base to 810 LDDs at the end of the quarter, representing a 55% increase compared to the end of the second quarter of 2023; and
- The company increased its 2024 full-year revenue, and operating expense guidance.
"In the second quarter, we continued to make significant progress in the adoption of adjustability as a new standard in the premium market, highlighted by robust LDD sales and the positive reception of the recently launched LAL+," said Dr. Ron Kurtz, Chief Executive Officer and President of RxSight. "The ability to adjust the optical power of the lens after surgery is increasingly valued by both doctors and patients for the excellent clinical outcomes and personalized approach it enables. As we move forward, we remain dedicated to expanding our presence and driving innovation within the global premium IOL market."
Second Quarter Financial Results
In the second quarter of 2024, total revenue was $34.9 million, an increase of 68% compared to $20.8 million in the second quarter of 2023. Revenue growth was driven by a 92% increase in LAL revenue and a 32% increase in LDD revenue, compared to the second quarter of 2023.
Gross profit for the second quarter of 2024 was $24.3 million or 69.5% of revenue, an increase of $12.2 million or 102% compared to gross profit of $12.0 million or 57.8% of revenue for the second quarter of 2023. The favorable shift in product mix toward LAL sales drove the increase in gross profit in the quarter, along with reduced costs to produce LALs, primarily due to higher production volumes and increased margin on the LDD due to lower material costs and an increase in the average selling price.
Total operating expenses for the second quarter of 2024 were $32.6 million, a 27% increase from $25.6 million in the second quarter of 2023, reflecting the company's ongoing investments to grow its LDD installed base and support increased LAL sales volume.
In the second quarter of 2024, the company reported a net loss of $(6.1) million, or $(0.16) per basic and diluted share, compared to a net loss of $(13.8) million, or $(0.40) per basic and diluted share in the second quarter of 2023. Adjusted net earnings in the second quarter of 2024 were $0.0 million, or $0.00 per basic and diluted share, compared to an adjusted net loss of $(9.5) million, or $(0.28) per basic and diluted share in the second quarter of 2023.
Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments as of June 30, 2024, were $233.3 million compared to $125.4 million on March 31, 2024. The second quarter 2024 cash balance includes $107.5 million in net proceeds from the company's confidentially marketed public offering, which closed on May 13, 2024.
2024 Guidance
The company increased its 2024 full-year revenue and operating expense guidance as follows:
- Revenue in the range of $139.0 million to $140.0 million, representing implied growth of 56% to 57% compared to 2023, up from prior guidance of $132.0 million to $137.0 million;
- Operating expenses in the range of $135.0 million to $136.0 million, representing an implied increase of 30% to 31% compared to 2023, up from prior guidance of $126.0 million to $130.0 million and including higher non-cash stock-based compensation expense guidance in the range of $29.0 million to $30.0 million, up from prior guidance of $22.0 million to $25 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 earnings (loss), and adjusted net earnings (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 Earnings (Loss) and Adjusted Net Earnings (Loss) Per Share
Adjusted net earnings (loss) is a non-GAAP financial measure that we define as net earnings (loss) adjusted for (i) stock-based compensation and (ii) loss on extinguishment of term loan. We believe adjusted net earnings (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 earnings (loss) to adjusted net earnings (loss) and the presentation of adjusted net earnings (loss) per share, basic and diluted, are as follows:
