Silk Road Medical Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2021 Financial Results and
Provides 2022 Financial Outlook
SUNNYVALE, Calif., Feb. 24, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Silk Road Medical, Inc. (Nasdaq: SILK), a company focused on reducing the risk of stroke and its devastating impact, today reported financial results for the three months and full year ended December 31, 2021.
“Our team and physicians had a tremendous impact in 2021, performing nearly 14,000 cases and driving record annual revenue of $101.5 million,” said Erica Rogers, President and Chief Executive Officer of Silk Road Medical. “We drove measurable progress on regulatory and clinical fronts in anticipation of standard surgical risk approval in the U.S., entry into Japan and China, and development of our long-term pipeline, and we are well positioned to continue establishing TCAR as the new standard of care in carotid artery disease through 2022 and beyond.”
Fourth Quarter 2021 Financial Results
Revenue for the fourth quarter of 2021 was $28.3 million, an increase of $7.1 million or 34%, compared to the fourth quarter of 2020. Growth was driven primarily by increased procedures per trained physician, sequentially and year over year, as well as an expanding base of hospital accounts, trained physicians, and active sales territories, partially offset by ongoing regional headwinds related to COVID-19.
Gross profit for the fourth quarter of 2021 was $21.0 million compared to $15.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2020. Gross margin for the fourth quarter of 2021 declined to 74.4% compared to 75.3% for the fourth quarter of 2020, due to manufacturing expansion costs in Minnesota.
Operating expenses were $35.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2021, compared to $30.9 million in the comparable prior year period, which represents an increase of 14%. The increase was driven by selling, general and administrative expenses related to growth in personnel and continued commercialization initiatives.
Net loss was $14.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2021, or a loss of $0.42 per share, as compared to a loss of $16.8 million, or $0.49 per share, in the corresponding period of the prior year.
Full Year 2021 Financial Results
Revenue for the full year 2021 was $101.5 million, an increase of $26.2 million or 35%, compared to 2020. The increase was driven primarily by growing adoption of TCAR across an expanded base of hospital accounts, trained physicians, and sales territories. Second quarter revenue in 2020 included the recognition of $1.3 million in deferred revenue due to a decrease in the provision for sales returns related to certain prior sales with a shorter shelf life, coupled with the downward trend in the company’s historical returns rate. Excluding the contribution of the $1.3 million in 2020, full year 2021 results of $101.5 million represent an increase of $27.5 million or 37% compared to 2020.
Gross profit for the full year 2021 was $76.0 million compared to $53.9 million for 2020. Gross margin for the full year 2021 increased to 74.9% compared to 71.7% in 2020. The increase in gross margin was driven by broader utilization across our manufacturing operations as compared to the prior year.
Operating expenses were $123.5 million for the full year 2021, compared to $96.8 million in the corresponding prior year period, which represents an increase of 28%. The increase was driven by new and ongoing R&D programs, growth in personnel and continued commercialization initiatives, as well as the resumption of travel, tradeshow, and other expenses.
Net loss was $49.8 million in the full year 2021, or a loss of $1.44 per share, as compared to a loss of $47.4 million, or $1.44 per share, in the prior year.
Cash and cash equivalents were $110.2 million as of December 31, 2021.
2022 Financial Guidance
Silk Road Medical projects revenue for the full year 2022 to range from $126 million to $132 million.
