iRhythm Technologies Announces First Quarter 2024 Financial Results

SAN FRANCISCO, May 02, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- iRhythm Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: IRTC), a leading digital health care company focused on creating trusted solutions that detect, predict, and prevent disease, today reported financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2024.

First Quarter 2024 Financial Highlights

  • Revenue of $131.9 million, a 18.4% increase compared to first quarter 2023
  • Gross margin of 66.3%, a 160-basis point decline compared to first quarter 2023
  • Unrestricted cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of $569.1 million as of March 31, 2024
  • Increased fiscal year 2024 revenue guidance to a range of $578 million to $588 million

Recent Operational Highlights

  • Over half a million registrations during the first quarter driven by continued growth from primary care prescribers, further penetration within existing accounts, and expansion into near-record new account openings for Zio long-term continuous monitoring services
  • Announced collaboration with Epic’s Aura platform to drive efficiencies through EMR integration and enable streamlined access to Zio services through improved operational efficiency for clinicians
  • Presented heart failure prediction algorithm data at ACC in April, demonstrative of the scientific evidence our teams and academic partners are generating in support of EKG as a critical vital sign for predictive clinical insights
  • Upcoming data presentation at the Heart Rhythm Society (HRS) in Boston, MA, from May 16 - 19, 2024

"During the first quarter of 2024, we were very pleased with the continued momentum in our core markets that enabled record unit volumes as well as strong new account openings," said Quentin Blackford, president and chief executive officer of iRhythm. "First quarter revenue growth of 18.4% year-over-year was driven by sustained growth in our existing accounts but also significant contribution from accounts opened within the past twelve months. We have been very encouraged with the growing traction within the primary care channel, highlighting Zio's value proposition as a workflow efficiency tool to expand ambulatory cardiac monitoring capacity within large care networks. When combined with progress that we are making with electronic health integration and emerging clinical evidence on the potential for EKG data to provide future clinical insights, we could not be more excited about our positioning to create significant value for patients, clinicians, healthcare systems, and stakeholders."

First Quarter Financial Results
Revenue for the first quarter of 2024 was $131.9 million, up 18.4% from $111.4 million during the same period in 2023. The increase was driven by growth in demand for Zio services.

Gross profit for the first quarter of 2024 was $87.5 million, up 15.6% from $75.7 million during the same period in 2023, while gross margin was 66.3%, down from 67.9% during the same period in 2023. The increase in gross profit was primarily due to increased volume of Zio services provided due to higher demand. The decrease in gross margin was primarily due to accelerated recognition of the cost of our legacy Zio XT components associated with our ongoing Zio monitor commercial launch as well as costs related to scaling and training newly onboarded clinical cardiac technicians at our San Francisco IDTF center of excellence.

Operating expenses for the first quarter of 2024 were $125.7 million, compared to $115.2 million for the same period in 2023. Adjusted operating expenses for the first quarter of 2024 were $125.7 million, compared to $109.5 million during the same period in 2023. This increase in adjusted operating expenses resulted primarily from increased headcount-related and third-party costs to support growth in operations and the further development, enhancement, and functionality of our current and future product offerings.

Net loss for the first quarter of 2024 was $45.7 million, or a diluted loss of $1.47 per share, compared with net loss of $39.1 million, or a diluted loss of $1.29 per share, for the same period in 2023. Adjusted net loss for the first quarter of 2024 was $38.1 million, or a diluted loss of $1.23 per share, compared with an adjusted net loss of $33.4 million, or a diluted loss of $1.10 per share, for the same period in 2023.

Unrestricted cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities were $569.1 million as of March 31, 2024.

2024 Annual Guidance
iRhythm projects revenue for the full year 2024 to grow approximately 17% to 19% compared to prior year results, ranging from approximately $578 million to $588 million. Gross margin for the full year 2024 is expected to range from 68% to 69% and adjusted EBITDA margin for the full year 2024 is expected to range from approximately 3% to 4% of revenues.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We refer to certain financial measures that are not recognized under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in this press release, including adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net loss, adjusted net loss per share and adjusted operating expenses. We use these non-GAAP financial measures for financial and operational decision-making and as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons. See the schedules attached to this press release for additional information and reconciliations of such non-GAAP financial measures. We have not reconciled our adjusted operating expenses and adjusted EBITDA estimates for full year 2024 because certain items that impact these figures are uncertain or out of our control and cannot be reasonably predicted. Accordingly, a reconciliation of adjusted operating expenses and adjusted EBITDA estimates is not available without unreasonable effort.

Adjusted EBITDA excludes non-cash operating charges for stock-based compensation, depreciation and amortization as well as non-operating items such as interest income, interest expense, impairment and restructuring charges, loss on extinguishment of debt, and business transformation costs.

We exclude the following items from non-GAAP financial measures for adjusted net loss, adjusted net loss per share and adjusted operating expenses:

  • impairment and restructuring charges,
  • loss on extinguishment of debt, and
  • business transformation costs to scale the organization.

Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements include statements regarding financial guidance, market opportunity, ability to penetrate the market, anticipated productivity improvements and expectations for growth. Such statements are based on current assumptions that involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual outcomes and results to differ materially. These risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control, include risks described in the section entitled “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in our filings made with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including those on the Form 10-Q expected to be filed on or about May 2, 2024.
