Insights

Medical Technology Financial Analyst

ClearPoint Neuro posted strong Q1 with 11% revenue growth to $8.5M, driven by 104% surge in high-margin consumables.

ClearPoint Neuro's Q1 results reveal a compelling transition in their business model toward recurring revenue streams. The 104% year-over-year growth in consumable products is particularly significant as it demonstrates successful commercialization of their navigation and therapy devices. While total revenue grew by 11% to $8.5 million, the composition of this growth shows a strategic shift - biologics/drug delivery increased 9% to $4.7 million, and neurosurgery navigation products surged 70% to $3.3 million.

What's most encouraging is the gross margin improvement to 60% despite the 63% decrease in capital equipment revenue. This suggests the company is successfully transitioning from lumpy capital sales to predictable consumable revenue - a much more valuable and sustainable business model for medical technology companies. The FDA clearance for ClearPoint 3.0 Software represents a meaningful catalyst that's already translating to revenue.

The $12.4 million cash position (excluding their new credit facility) warrants attention given the $6.2 million cash burn in Q1. However, management's confidence in reaffirming full-year guidance of $36-41 million suggests they expect accelerating growth through 2025. The strategic partnership with Oberland Capital provides additional financial flexibility.

The 29% increase in operating expenses to $11.3 million reflects continued investment in growth initiatives, but this elevated spending level will need to be justified by continued revenue acceleration. The key metrics to monitor are the further expansion of the biologics/drug delivery partnerships and continued adoption of their navigation and therapy products in neurosurgical procedures.

SOLANA BEACH, CALIFORNIA / ACCESS Newswire / May 13, 2025 / ClearPoint Neuro, Inc. (NASDAQ:CLPT) (the "Company"), a global device, cell, and gene therapy-enabling company offering precise navigation to the brain and spine, today announced financial results for its first quarter ended March 31, 2025.

First Quarter Highlights

• Reported cash and cash equivalents totaling $12.4 million as of March 31, 2025 (balance does not include credit facility proceeds).

"Our 2025 fiscal year is off to a strong start as we enter the Fast Forward phase of the company, starting with a record revenue quarter and fueled by multiple new product launches that are delivering on our promise of fast, simple and predictable procedures," commented Joe Burnett, President and CEO at ClearPoint Neuro. "The foundational investments that we have made over the past few years to grow our global biopharma partnerships, expand navigation into the operating room, and enter the laser therapy market are now paying off and are underlined by 104% growth in these single-use devices. It is especially exciting to see all three of these product lines contributing meaningfully to this growth."

"In addition, despite recent volatility in the capital markets, we have now secured a long-term credit facility and an equity investment that gives us flexibility on our balance sheet to ensure we can achieve ClearPoint Neuro's strategic objectives.

Business Outlook

The Company reaffirms its full year 2025 revenue outlook between $36.0 million and $41.0 million.

Financial Results - Quarter Ended March 31, 2025

Total revenue was $8.5 million and $7.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, representing an increase of 11%.

Biologics and drug delivery revenue, which includes sales of disposable products and services related to customer-sponsored preclinical and clinical trials utilizing our products, increased 9% to $4.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, from $4.3 million for the same period in 2024. This increase is attributable to a year-over-year increase of $1.2 million, or 222%, in product revenue resulting from higher demand for disposables as multiple partners progress in their trials, partially offset by a $0.8 million decrease in service and other revenue, due to less work performed in preclinical trials and consulting during the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024.

Neurosurgery navigation and therapy revenue, which primarily consists of disposable product commercial sales related to cases utilizing the ClearPoint system, increased 70% to $3.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025, from $1.9 million for the same period in 2024. The increase is driven by higher sales for new product offerings as well as an increased customer base, during the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024.

Capital equipment and software revenue, consisting of sales of ClearPoint reusable hardware and software and related services, decreased 63% to $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, from $1.4 million for the same period in 2024, due to a decrease in the placements of ClearPoint navigation capital equipment and software and Prism laser units, primarily driven by installation timing.

The Company achieved a gross margin of 60% on its sales for three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to a gross margin of 59% for the same period in 2024. The increase in gross margin was primarily due to lower excess and obsolete inventory for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to the same period in 2024.

Operating expenses were $11.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared with $8.7 million for same period in 2024, an increase of 29%. The increase was mainly driven by higher personnel-related expenses, including share-based compensation, as we increased headcount to fuel the expansion of the research and development, clinical, and support organizations, higher product development costs, an increase in the allowance for credit losses, and higher professional and regulatory fees.

At March 31, 2025, the Company had cash and cash equivalents totaling $12.4 million as compared to $20.1 million at December 31, 2024, with the decrease resulting from the use of $6.2 million in cash for operating activities, primarily driven by the payment of the employee annual incentive and $1.3 million for tax payments made related to the net share settlement of equity awards. The net share settlement of equity awards upon vesting results in the Company withholding from the shares issuable at vest a number of shares having a value equal to the employees' tax obligations and remitting a cash payment to the appropriate taxing authority.
