Exhibit 99.1
Stereotaxis Reports 2021 First Quarter Financial Results
ST. LOUIS, MO, May 10, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) – Stereotaxis (NYSE: STXS), the global leader in innovative robotic technologies for the treatment of cardiac arrhythmias, today reported financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2021.
“The highlight of the first quarter is Stereotaxis’ return to robust double digit revenue growth with 50% topline growth,” said David Fischel, Chairman and CEO. “The results reflect the initial impact of the first wave of our strategic innovation plan.”
“During the quarter two robotic systems were shipped to hospitals establishing new robotic electrophysiology practices, triggering partial revenue recognition of those systems. Since the quarterly results two months ago, we received an additional purchase order for a robotic system in the United States.”
“We continue to advance a robust innovation pipeline. Our proprietary robotically-navigated magnetic ablation catheter is advancing methodically through required manufacturing and testing processes. We anticipate submitting for regulatory approval in Europe in September and for initiating a US pivotal trial shortly thereafter. At the end of the year we expect to showcase an additional set of innovations that will accelerate adoption of our robotic technology in electrophysiology and beyond. We are confident in the positive impact these innovations will have on patients, physicians, providers, and on Stereotaxis’ financial and strategic foundation.”
“Our commercial and technological progress is being accomplished while remaining prudent with shareholder capital. We continue to invest in the team, infrastructure and projects that are critical for both near and long-term success, and are proud that we are able to do so while maintaining financial discipline.”
2021 First Quarter Financial Results
Revenue for the first quarter of 2021 totaled $8.6 million, a 50% increase from $5.8 million in the prior year first quarter. System revenue of $2.6 million reflects initial revenue recognition on the delivery of a Genesis RMN® system to Europe and a Niobe® system to China. Recurring revenue for the quarter was $5.8 million, compared to $5.5 million in the prior year first quarter.
Gross margin for the first quarter of 2021 was 70% of revenue, with system gross margin of 45% and recurring revenue gross margin of 84%. Operating expenses in the quarter were $7.5 million including $1.4 million in non-cash stock compensation expense. Increased non-cash stock compensation expense is a reflection of an increased stock price and the previously announced CEO Performance Stock Plan. Excluding stock compensation expense, adjusted operating expenses in the current quarter were $6.2 million consistent with the prior year adjusted operating expenses of $6.1 million.
Operating loss and net loss for the first quarter of 2021 were ($1.5) million, compared to ($2.1) million and ($2.0) million respectively in the previous year. Adjusted operating loss and adjusted net loss for the quarter, excluding non-cash stock compensation expense, were ($0.2) million compared to ($1.3) million in the prior year. Negative free cash flow for the first quarter was ($0.3) million, compared to ($2.2) million in the prior year first quarter.
Cash Balance and Liquidity
At March 31, 2021, Stereotaxis had cash and cash equivalents, including restricted cash and compensating balances, of $44.1 million.
Forward Looking Expectations
Stereotaxis continues to expect robust double-digit revenue growth in 2021, with robotic system revenue of $10-$20 million. Stereotaxis’ balance sheet allows it to reach profitability without the need for additional financings.
