Third Quarter 2023 Financial Results

Revenue for the third quarter ended September 30, 2023, was $186.0 million, a 42% increase from $131.3 million in the same period of 2022. The growth was primarily driven by an increase in the purchase volume of our products in both the United States and internationally.

Gross profit for the third quarter of 2023 was $161.5 million compared to $113.5 million for the third quarter of 2022. Gross margin percentage was 87% for the three months ended September 30, 2023, compared to 86% for the three months ended September 30, 2022.

Total operating expenses for the third quarter of 2023 were $117.9 million, a 54% increase from $76.7 million in the third quarter of 2022. The increase was primarily driven by sales force expansion and higher headcount to support the growth of the business.

Net income for the third quarter of 2023 was $35.0 million, which was consistent with net income in the same period of 2022. Basic and diluted net income per share for the third quarter of 2023 was $0.95 and $0.92 respectively.  

Adjusted EBITDA improved by approximately 31% to $65.0 million, in the third quarter of 2023, compared to adjusted EBITDA of $49.8 million in the third quarter of 2022. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure.

Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments totaled $917.3 million as of September 30, 2023, which is inclusive of net proceeds of $634.4 million from our convertible debt offering in August of 2023.

2023 Financial Guidance

Shockwave Medical projects revenue for the full year 2023 to range from $725 million to $730 million, which represents 48% to 49% growth over the Company’s prior year revenue.

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release contains statements relating to our expectations, projections, beliefs, and prospects, which are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. In some cases, you can identify these statements by forward-looking words such as “may,” “might,” “will,” “should,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential” or “continue,” and similar expressions, and the negative of these terms. Forward-looking statements in this press release include, but are not limited to, statements regarding our anticipated future operating results and financial position, including for the full year ending December 31, 2023, our business strategy and plans, our objectives for future operations and financial performance and other matters. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are only predictions based on our current expectations, estimates, and assumptions, valid only as of the date they are made, and subject to risks and uncertainties, some of which we are not currently aware.

Important factors that could cause our actual results and financial condition to differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements include, among others: the impact of global business, political, and macroeconomic conditions, including inflation, rising interest rates, uncertainty with respect to the federal budget, instability in the global banking system, volatile market conditions, supply chain disruptions, cybersecurity events and global events, including regional conflicts around the world, on our operations, financial results, liquidity, capital resources, expenses, supply chain, manufacturing, research and development activities, clinical trials, and employees; our ability to successfully execute our business and growth strategies; our ability to develop, manufacture, obtain and maintain regulatory approvals for, and market and sell, our products; our expected future growth, including the size and growth potential of the markets for our products; our ability to obtain coverage and reimbursement for procedures performed using our products; our ability to scale our organizational culture; the impact of the development, regulatory approval, efficacy and commercialization of competing products; the loss of key scientific or management personnel; our ability to develop and maintain our corporate infrastructure, including our internal controls; our financial performance and capital requirements; the success of any acquisitions that we make; and our ability to obtain and maintain intellectual property protection for our products, as well as our ability to operate our business without infringing the intellectual property rights of others. These factors, as well as others, are discussed in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), including in the sections titled “Risk Factors” in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and subsequently filed Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, and in our other reports filed with the SEC. Except to the extent required by law, we do not undertake to update any of these forward-looking statements after the date hereof to conform these statements to actual results or revised expectations.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release contains supplemental financial information determined by methods other than in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP), including references to adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes from net income the effects of income tax provision, other income (expense), interest expense, (loss) income from equity method investment, depreciation and amortization, and stock-based compensation. We believe the presentation of adjusted EBITDA is useful as it provides visibility to our underlying continuing operating performance by excluding the impact of certain items that are non-cash in nature or not related to our core business operations.

Our definition of adjusted EBITDA may differ from similarly titled measures used by others. Adjusted EBITDA should be considered supplemental to, and not a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Because adjusted EBITDA excludes the effect of items that increase or decrease our reported results of operations, management strongly encourages investors to review, when they become available, our consolidated financial statements and publicly filed reports in their entirety. A reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to net income has been provided in the financial statement tables included in this press release, and investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation.
