Reports 2024 Full Year Financial Results
Louis, MO, March 3, 2025 (Globe Newswire) - Stereotaxis (NYSE: STXS), a pioneer and global leader in surgical robotics
for minimally invasive endovascular intervention, today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December
have started a milestone rich year in which we will demonstrate the tangible reality of our overall strategic transformation into a company
with an easily adopted robot that can navigate a proprietary set of catheters in EP and broadly across endovascular procedures,"
said David Fischel, Chairman and CEO.
progress leads to an expanded clinical impact, scalable capital model, strategic self-sufficiency, and an attractive high-margin recurring
catheter business. In recent months we achieved multiple milestones in this transformation with European regulatory approval of the MAGiC
catheter, the first sale of the GenesisX robot, regulatory approvals for Genesis and Magbot in China, and regulatory submissions for
MAGiC Sweep and EMAGIN 5F. We are making significant progress on multiple development, regulatory, and commercial efforts. The foundations
of our strategic vision are becoming tangible realities."
innovations will increasingly contribute to commercial growth as we progress through this year. Revenue grew 39% year-over-year in the
fourth quarter, benefiting from increased robotic system revenue along with the successful commercial integration of APT. We expect continued
year-over-year growth in the coming quarters given increasing catheter adoption and our robotic backlog. The impact from new innovations
will be modest initially but increasingly provide the opportunity for breakout growth."
generated positive cash flow in the fourth quarter, ending the year as guided with over $12 million in cash and no debt. Our balance
sheet allows us to bring our transformative product ecosystem to market and fund its commercialization."
Fourth Quarter and Full Year Financial Results
for the fourth quarter of 2024 totaled $6.3 million, a 39% increase compared to $4.6 million in the prior year fourth quarter. System
revenue for the quarter was $1.4 million and recurring revenue was $4.9 million, compared to $0.1 million and $4.5 million, respectively,
in the prior year fourth quarter. System revenue reflects revenue recognition on the partial delivery of Genesis systems. Recurring revenue
reflects a full quarter's contribution from our recent acquisition of Access Point Technologies. Revenue for the full year 2024
totaled $26.9 million compared to $26.8 million in 2023. System backlog at the start of 2025 is $15.2 million.
margin for the fourth quarter and full year 2024 were approximately 51% and 54% of revenue, respectively. Full year 2024 gross margins
were 70% for recurring revenue and 20% for system revenue. Recurring gross margins were impacted by acquisition-related accounting that
temporarily reduces disposable margin. System gross margins remain impacted by fixed overhead allocated over low production levels. Operating
expenses in the fourth quarter of $10.8 million include $2.5 million of non-cash stock compensation expense and $1.1 million non-cash
mark-to-market adjustment for acquisition related contingent earnout consideration. Excluding these non-cash charges, adjusted operating
expenses in the quarter were $7.2 million. Adjusted operating expenses for the full year 2024 were $27.4 million, compared to $26.2 million
loss and net loss in the fourth quarter of 2024 were ($7.6) million and ($7.5) million, respectively, compared to ($5.3) million and
($5.0) million in the previous year. Adjusted operating loss and adjusted net loss for the quarter, excluding non-cash stock compensation
expense and the mark-to-market adjustment, were ($4.0) million and ($3.8) million, respectively, compared to ($2.7) million and ($2.4)
million in the previous year. For the full year 2024, adjusted operating loss of ($12.8) million and adjusted net loss of ($12.1) million
compared to an adjusted operating loss of ($11.3) million and an adjusted net loss of ($10.2) million in the prior year. Positive free
cash flow of $1.3 million for the fourth quarter reflects cash receipts on previous system revenue. Negative free cash flow for the full
year 2024 was ($8.5) million compared to ($9.5) million for the full year 2023.
Balance and Liquidity
December 31, 2024, Stereotaxis had cash and cash equivalents, including restricted cash, of $12.4 million and no debt.
Looking Expectations
anticipates double digit revenue growth for the full year 2025. Recurring revenue is expected to scale throughout the year, from $5 million
in the first quarter to $7 million in the fourth quarter, as an expanded portfolio of catheters increasingly contributes to revenue.
System revenue of $2-3 million per quarter is expected to remain approximately flat with 2024, with modest contributions from GenesisX
in Europe and Genesis in China. Anticipated regulatory milestones and initial commercial launches in 2025 support substantial growth
recurring revenue and stable operating expenses support an expectation for reduced cash use in 2025 compared to the $8.5 million
of negative free cash flow in 2024. Stereotaxis expects its balance sheet to allow it to advance its transformative product ecosystem
to market, fund its commercialization, and profitably grow.
