ClearPoint Neuro Reports Second Quarter 2022 Results
Record Quarterly Revenue Achieved; Company Reaffirms 2022 Revenue Forecast
SOLANA BEACH, CA, August 9, 2022 – ClearPoint Neuro, Inc. (Nasdaq: CLPT) (the “Company”), a global therapy-enabling platform company providing navigation and delivery to the brain, today announced financial results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2022.
Second Quarter Highlights
Reported record quarterly revenue of $5.2 million, a 52% year-over-year increase;
Partner PTC Therapeutics received a positive opinion for its gene therapy treatment UpstazaTM. from the European Medicines Agency’s Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use. Upstaza, which was granted full marketing authorization by the European Commission in July 2022, will be administered with the Company’s SmartFlow® Neuro Cannula;
Increased biologics and drug delivery revenue to $2.4 million, a 73% year-over-year increase;
Added multiple new biologics and drug delivery partners in the quarter to bring the total to more than 45;
Installed four additional systems in the quarter bringing the total to 8 new installations year-to-date;
Achieved Medical Device Single Audit Program (MDSAP) certification paving the way for additional international regulatory submissions in support of pharmaceutical partners; and
Cash and short-term investments totaled $45.1 million as of June 30, 2022.
Business Outlook
The Company reaffirms its full year 2022 revenue outlook of between $21.0 and $22.0 million.
“The ClearPoint Neuro Team has continued to execute against our four-pillar growth strategy in the second quarter,” commented Joe Burnett, President and CEO. “We achieved another record quarter for revenue and over 50% growth despite an elevated case cancellation rate and supply chain disruptions. Our biologics and drug delivery business led the way and became our largest segment with product and service revenue growing at more than 70%. The team also added multiple new pharma and academic partners bringing our total to more than 45 and keeping pace at approximately one new partner each month. Our ClearPoint Navigation system was installed at four additional centers bringing the total new centers to eight in 2022 across the U.S. and Europe. Our product development team continues to execute on our pipeline and has additional products being reviewed by global regulatory bodies.
Particularly of note, the European Commission granted marketing authorization for Upstaza to our partner PTC Therapeutics. Upstaza is the first gene therapy approved anywhere in the world to be dosed by direct infusion into the brain. Consistent with our long term strategy, the Summary of Product Characteristics for Upstaza specifically includes the ClearPoint SmartFlow Neuro Cannula as the device used for minimally invasive infusion of the gene therapy. We believe the approval of Upstaza, delivered with ClearPoint’s cannula, demonstrates the viability and potential of our drug delivery partnerships.



At present, we are reaffirming our prior guidance of revenue between $21.0 and $22.0 million for the year.”
Financial Results – Quarter Ended June 30, 2022
Total revenue was $5.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, and $3.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021, which represents an increase of $1.8 million, or 52%.
Functional neurosurgery navigation and therapy revenue, increased 17% to $2.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, from $1.9 million for the same period in 2021. The growth was driven by higher service revenue.
Biologics and drug delivery revenue, which includes sales of disposable products and services related to customer-sponsored clinical trials utilizing our products, increased 73% to $2.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, from $1.4 million for the same period in 2021. This increase is attributable to a $0.8 million increase in product revenue and $0.2 million increase in service revenue.
Capital equipment and software revenue, consisting of sales of ClearPoint reusable hardware and software, and of related services, increased 282% to $0.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, from $0.2 million for the same period in 2021 due to an increase in the sale of ClearPoint systems.
Gross margin for the three months ended June 30, 2022, was 63%, as compared to a gross margin of 67%, for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The decrease in gross margin was due primarily to an increase in overhead expenses, excess and obsolete reserves, and product mix.
Operating expenses for the second quarter of 2022 were $7.5 million, compared to $5.7 million for the second quarter of 2021. The increase was mainly driven by the increase in headcount across the organization, product development expenses and share based compensation.
At June 30, 2022, the Company had cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments totaling $45.1 million as compared to $54.1 million at December 31, 2021, with the decrease resulting primarily from the use of cash in operating activities of $9.3 million.
