for minimally invasive endovascular intervention, today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December
year is poised to be an important and exciting year for Stereotaxis, as we bring multiple strategic innovations to key regulatory and
commercial milestones," said David Fischel, Chairman and CEO. "This transition to a new product ecosystem is strategically
transformational as it addresses structural inefficiencies, dependencies and limitations while setting us up for significant growth."
developments continue to advance well, and we expect regulatory approvals and commercial launches this year for our proprietary robotically-navigated
ablation catheter, smaller self-shielding robot, and cloud-based connectivity app. We also expect regulatory submissions for a guidewire
that expands our robotic technology into several new indications, a comprehensive product ecosystem in China, and an integrated operating
room display. These innovations collectively serve as a foundational product ecosystem for a high-growth medical robotics company poised
to transform endovascular surgery."
effort to grow revenues while in the midst of this transition was challenged in 2022. We experienced growth in system orders, but delays
in system placements led to a decline in overall revenue. We continue to see a healthy pipeline for systems and expect growth in orders
this year. We expect double-digit revenue growth in 2023 driven by revenue recognition of our backlog and new system orders."

reach profitability."

to $11.2 million in the prior year as hospital construction delays impacted the timing of order conversion. We started 2023 with system
backlog of $14.8 million. Full year recurring revenue was $21.3 million compared to $22.9 million, reflecting procedure volatility and
the timing of service renewals.
margin for the fourth quarter and full year 2022 were approximately 59% and 66% of revenue, respectively. Full year gross margins were
82% for recurring revenue and 15% for system revenue. System gross margins reflect significant allocations of fixed overhead expenses.

Looking Expectations
expects double-digit revenue growth in 2023 driven by revenue recognition of system backlog and new system orders. System orders are
also expected to increase compared to 2022, supporting sustained growth expectations. Accelerating
revenue growth in the coming years is expected to be supported by new technology launches, but 2023 revenue expectations do not incorporate
any material contributions from these innovations.
strong balance sheet allows it to advance its transformative product ecosystem to market, fund its commercialization, and reach profitability
without the need for additional financings.
