Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On February 11, 2020, Shockwave Medical, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into the First Amendment (the “Amendment”) to its Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of February 26, 2018 (the “Existing Loan Agreement”), with Silicon Valley Bank (“SVB”), to refinance its existing term loan.

The Amendment provides the Company with a supplemental term loan in the amount of $16.5 million. The Company expects to use $13.2 million of the proceeds from the supplemental term loan to repay in full all amounts due under its existing term loan and to pay related expenses. In addition, the Amendment terminates the Company’s existing $2.0 million revolving line of credit with SVB under the Existing Loan Agreement.

The principal amount outstanding under the supplemental term loan accrues interest, payable monthly in arrears, at a floating per annum rate equal to the greater of (A) the Wall Street Journal prime rate minus 1.25% and (B) 3.50%. No principal payments are due on the supplemental term loan until June 30, 2021; provided that such interest only period shall be extended to December 31, 2021 if the Company achieves specified revenue milestones and shall be extended further to June 30, 2022 if the Company achieves specified revenue and regulatory milestones (the date that such interest only period ends, the “Amortization Date”). Following the Amortization Date, the principal amount of the supplemental term loan shall be due in equal monthly installments through the maturity date, December 1, 2023. There is also a final payment equal to 9.5% of the original principal amount of the supplemental term loan, or $1.6 million, due at maturity (or any earlier date of optional pre-payment or acceleration of principal due to an event of default). The Company may, at its option, prepay the supplemental term loan in full, subject to an additional prepayment fee ranging between 0% and 3% of the original principal amount of the supplemental term loan. The prepayment fee would also be due and payable in the event of an acceleration of the principal amount of the supplemental term loan due to an event of default.

The supplemental term loan is secured by all of the Company’s assets, excluding intellectual property and certain other assets. The supplemental term loan is subject to customary affirmative and restrictive covenants, including with respect to the Company’s ability to enter into fundamental transactions, incur additional indebtedness, grant liens, pay any dividend or make any distributions to stockholders, make investments and merge or consolidate with any other person or engage in transactions with affiliates, but is not subject to any financial covenants.

The foregoing descriptions of the Amendment is not complete, and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Amendment, a copy of which will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission as an exhibit to the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2020.

Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On February 13, 2020, the Company issued a press release (the “Press Release”) announcing its financial results for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2019. A copy of the Press Release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this current report on Form 8-K.

Item 2.03. Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

The information set forth under Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference herein.

EXHIBIT 99.1

Shockwave Medical Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2019 Financial Results and Provides Full Year 2020 Financial Outlook

SANTA CLARA, Calif., Feb. 13, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Shockwave Medical, Inc. (Nasdaq: SWAV), a pioneer in the development and commercialization of Intravascular Lithotripsy (IVL) to treat complex calcified cardiovascular disease, today reported financial results for the three months and full year ended December 31, 2019.

Recent Highlights 

“I am encouraged by the progress we have made at Shockwave over the course of 2019.  Our team improved their performance across the board – from clinical to sales to operations – as we all worked together to advance the use of IVL and to help change the way calcified cardiovascular disease is treated,” said Doug Godshall, President and Chief Executive Officer of Shockwave Medical. “The growing use of IVL across many different vessels has exceeded our expectations and I believe that Shockwave is well positioned to continue to positively impact our customers and their patients into the future.”

Fourth Quarter 2019 Financial Results
Revenue for the fourth quarter of 2019 was $14.3 million, an increase of $9.3 million, or 183%, compared to the fourth quarter of 2018. The growth was primarily driven by the expansion of the U.S. sales force and increased penetration in both U.S. and international markets.

Gross profit for the fourth quarter of 2019 was $8.8 million compared to $1.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2018. The gross margin percentage for the fourth quarter of 2019 increased to 61% compared to 35% in the fourth quarter of 2018, driven primarily by continued improvements in production processes and greater absorption of fixed costs by higher production. 

Operating expenses were $24.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2019 compared to $12.9 million in the corresponding prior year period, an increase of 87%, primarily driven by sales force expansion and higher clinical costs from the CAD III IDE and CAD IV Japan studies.

Net loss was $14.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2019, as compared to $11.2 million in the corresponding period of the prior year. Net loss per share was $0.49 in the fourth quarter of 2019.

Full Year 2019 Financial Results 
Revenue for full year 2019 was $42.9 million, an increase of $30.7 million, or 250%, compared to the full year of 2018. The growth was primarily driven by the expansion of the U.S. sales force and international distributor network.

Gross profit for the full year 2019 was $25.8 million compared to $5.0 million for the full year 2018. The gross margin percentage for the full year 2019 increased to 60% compared to 41% in the full year 2018, driven primarily by continued improvements in production processes and greater absorption of fixed costs by higher production. 

Operating expenses were $77.6 million for the full year 2019 compared to $46.2 million in the prior year, an increase of 68%, primarily driven by sales force expansion and higher clinical costs from the CAD III IDE and CAD IV Japan studies.

Net loss was $51.1 million for full year 2019, as compared to $41.1 million in the prior year. Net loss per share was $2.14 for full year 2019.

Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments totaled $195.3 million as of December 31, 2019.  

2020 Financial Guidance
Shockwave Medical projects revenue for the full year 2020 to range from $74 million to $77 million, which would represent 72% to 79% growth over the company’s prior year revenue.

Such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance, and you are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Our business and operations are subject to a variety of risks and uncertainties and, consequently, actual results may differ materially from those projected by any forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause actual results to differ from those projected include, but are not limited to: failure to achieve or sustain profitability; failure to effectively market existing products; failure to effectively introduce and market new products; delays in product introductions; significant competition; inability to further penetrate our current customer base and increase the frequency of use of our products by our customers; inability to achieve or maintain satisfactory pricing and margins; manufacturing difficulties; the inability to attain coverage and adequate reimbursement for procedures using our products; permanent write-downs or write-offs of our inventory; product defects or failures; unfavorable outcomes in clinical trials; inability to maintain our culture as we grow; fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates; potential adverse regulatory actions; and potential impact of any future acquisitions, mergers, dispositions, joint ventures or investments we may make.
