iRhythm Technologies Announces First Quarter 2020 Financial Results

SAN FRANCISCO, May 07, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- iRhythm Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: IRTC), a leading digital health care solutions company focused on the advancement of cardiac care, today reported financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2020.

First Quarter 2020 Highlights

  • Revenue of $63.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020
    ○  31% increase compared to first quarter revenue reported in 2019
    ○  8% sequential growth versus fourth quarter 2019
    ○  Estimated impact of $2.0 million due to COVID-19

  • Gross margin was 74.7%
    ○  90 basis point year-over-year contraction over reported gross margin

  • Enacted numerous measures designed to keep employees and healthcare providers safe, ensure business continuity, reduce operating expense, and preserve cash in response to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic 

“Prior to the onset of the COVID-19 virus and its widespread impact on the healthcare sector, we had an exceptionally strong start to the year. Recognizing the growing threat of the pandemic, our team began to identify and subsequently take the steps necessary to protect our employees and our communities while continuing to deliver our Zio service. We quickly implemented protocols that have allowed us to deliver uninterrupted patient care with our Zio platform, thus ensuring an ongoing opportunity for physicians to continue to diagnose cardiac arrhythmias, as well as provide continuity of care,” said Kevin King, CEO. “The components of our near and mid-term strategy remain sound and we expect these to continue to drive expansion of our business as the recovery takes hold and in a longer-term post-recovery environment.” 

First Quarter Financial Results
Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2020 increased 31% to $63.5 million, from $48.3 million during the same period in 2019. The increase was primarily due to increased salesforce productivity, expansion into new accounts, improved penetration of existing accounts, and the successful launch of Zio AT.

Gross profit for the first quarter of 2020 was $47.5 million, or 74.7% gross margin, compared to $36.6 million, or gross margin of 75.6%, during the same period in 2019.

Operating expenses for the first quarter of 2020 were $56.7 million, compared to $44.8 million for the same period in 2019. The increase in operating expenses was driven by salesforce expansion, organizational support for the company’s network sales strategy, expansion of R&D activities, bad debt expense associated with higher sales volumes and general administrative expenditures.

Net loss for the first quarter of 2020 was $9.1 million, or a loss of $0.34 per share, compared with net loss of $8.3 million, or a loss of $0.34 per share, for the same period in 2019.

Guidance for Full Year 2020
iRhythm withdrew its previously announced annual guidance for 2020 on April 9, 2020. Given the uncertain scope and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic, the company remains unable to accurately estimate the impact of the pandemic on its future operations and financial results.
