First Quarter 2022 Revenue of $4.1 million,

a 43% Increase Over Prior Year

MINNEAPOLIS, April 25, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CVRx, Inc. (NASDAQ:

CVRX) ("CVRx"), a commercial-stage medical device company focused on developing, manufacturing and commercializing innovative

neuromodulation solutions for patients with cardiovascular diseases, today announced its financial and operating results for the first

"I am very pleased with the progress we have made in the first

quarter as we continued to drive the adoption of Barostim - growing U.S. heart failure revenue by 133% year over year, expanding our

U.S. active implanting centers and delivering a record number of revenue units - despite a highly challenging macro environment early

in the year," said Nadim Yared, President and Chief Executive Officer of CVRx. "With the expansion of our U.S. commercial

organization, increased awareness among physicians and patients of the benefits of Barostim, and recent regulatory progress within our

product portfolio, we believe we are in a strong position to continue to drive adoption of Barostim and provide a solution to individuals

suffering from cardiovascular disease."

First Quarter 2022 Financial and Operating Results

$4.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, an increase of $1.2 million, or 43%, over the three months ended March 31, 2021.

Revenue generated in the U.S. was $3.1 million for the three months

ended March 31, 2022, an increase of $1.4 million, or 90%, over the three months ended March 31, 2021. HF revenue units in the U.S. totaled

99 and 44 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. HF revenue in the U.S. totaled $2.9 million for the three

months ended March 31, 2022, an increase of $1.6 million, or 133% over the three months ended March 31, 2021. The increase was primarily

driven by continued growth in the U.S. HF business as a result of the expansion into new sales territories, new accounts and increased

physician and patient awareness of Barostim.

As of March 31, 2022, the Company had a total of 56 active implanting

centers as compared to 19 as of March 31, 2021. Active implanting centers are customers that have completed at least one commercial HF

implant in the last 12 months. As of March 31, 2022, the Company had a total of 17 sales territories as compared to 6 as of March 31,

Revenue generated in Europe was $1.0 million for the three months

ended March 31, 2022, a decrease of $0.2 million, or 18%, over the three months ended March 31, 2021. Total revenue units in Europe were

50 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 as compared to 52 in the prior year period. The decrease is due to reduced procedure volumes

due to COVID-related headwinds. As of March 31, 2022, the Company had a total of six sales territories in Europe.

Gross profit was $3.1 million for the three months ended March 31,

2022, an increase of $1.1 million, or 57%, over the three months ended March 31, 2021. Gross margin increased to 77% for the three months

ended March 31, 2022, compared to 70% for the three months ended March 31, 2021. Gross margin for the three months ended March 31, 2022

was higher due to a decrease in the cost per unit and an increase in the average selling price. This was partially offset by a larger

percentage of our revenue units coming from full systems versus battery replacements. New patients receive a full system that includes

an IPG and a stimulation lead and have a lower gross margin than a stand-alone IPG used for a battery replacement.

R&D expenses increased $0.5 million, or 29%, to $2.3 million for

the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021. This change was primarily driven by an increase

in compensation expenses, mainly as a result of increased headcount, an increase in clinical study expenses and an increase in non-cash

stock-based compensation expense.

SG&A expenses increased $6.3 million, or 142%, to $10.8 million

for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021. This was primarily driven by an increase

in compensation expenses, mainly as a result of increased headcount, and an increase in marketing and advertising expenses associated

with the commercialization of Barostim in the U.S.

Other expense, net was $0.1 million for the three months ended March

31, 2022 compared to $3.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The expense in the first quarter of 2021 was primarily driven

by the increase in fair value of the convertible preferred stock warrant liability from December 31, 2020 to March 31, 2021. As these

preferred stock warrants converted to common stock warrants upon the IPO, there is no longer a change in fair value recorded into other

Net loss was $10.0 million, or $0.49 per share, for the three months

ended March 31, 2022, compared to a net loss of $8.6 million, or $23.92 per share, for the three months ended March 31, 2021. Net loss

per share was based on 20,453,341 and 360,675 weighted average shares outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021,

Cash and cash equivalents were $131.2 million as of March 31, 2022,

compared to $142.1 million as of December 31, 2021.

For the full year of 2022, the Company continues to expect:

For the second quarter of 2022, the Company expects to report total

revenue between $4.5 million and $5.0 million.

Subsequent to the end of the first quarter, the Company received FDA

approval for a new programmer, which provides even simpler programming software in a tablet form factor.

CVRx is focused on the development and commercialization of Barostim ,

the first medical technology approved by FDA that uses neuromodulation to improve the symptoms of patients with heart failure. Barostim

is an implantable device that delivers electrical pulses to baroreceptors located in the wall of the carotid artery. Baroreceptors activate

the body's baroreflex, which in turn triggers an autonomic response to the heart. The therapy is designed to restore balance to

the autonomic nervous system and thereby reduce the symptoms of heart failure. Barostim received the FDA Breakthrough Device designation

and is FDA-approved for use in heart failure patients in the U.S. It has also received the CE Mark for heart failure and resistant hypertension

in the European Economic Area. To learn more about Barostim, visit www.cvrx.com.
