LENSAR Reports First Quarter 2024 Results and Provides Business Update

 

Total Revenue increased 28% and Procedure volume increased 25% over the first quarter of 2023

 

Increased ALLY® Adaptive Cataract Treatment System installed base to 65 systems

 

 

 

ORLANDO, Fla. (May 9, 2024) – LENSAR, Inc. (Nasdaq: LNSR) (“LENSAR” or “the Company”), a global medical technology company focused on advanced femtosecond laser solutions for the treatment of cataracts, today announced financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 and provided an update on key operational initiatives.

 

“Recognition of ALLY’s advantages, its ability to achieve higher efficiencies for surgeons and staff as well as better surgical outcomes for patients, allowed us to deliver continued 20%+ revenue growth in the first quarter of 2024. Total revenue for the quarter was $10.6 million, up 28% over the first quarter of 2023. Moreover, procedure volume grew by 23% in the U.S., our largest market and the only country where ALLY is currently marketed,” said Nick Curtis, President and CEO of LENSAR. “More importantly, our U.S. procedure share continued to grow, increasing 1.5% in the first quarter from the fourth quarter of 2023, as reported by Market Scope. This growth represented LENSAR’s highest single-quarter procedure share gain since we launched ALLY. We have achieved 4.3% growth in U.S. procedure share since ALLY’s launch, and I believe that we are well positioned to continue to grow both in the U.S. and internationally upon receipt of the regulatory approvals anticipated later this year.”

 

First Quarter 2024 Financial Results

 

Total revenue for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 was $10.6 million, an increase of $2.3 million, or 28%, compared to total revenue of $8.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2023. The increase in the first quarter of 2024 occurred in all revenue line items and was primarily due to increased system sales and increased procedure volume. Procedure volume in the United States increased approximately 23%, when comparing the first quarter of 2024 to 2023. Worldwide procedure volume increased by approximately 25% in the first quarter of 2024 as compared to 2023. As of March 31, 2024, the Company had an installed base of approximately 65 ALLY Systems.

 

For the quarters ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, approximately 90% and 92% of our revenue, respectively, was attributable to recurring sources.

 

The following table provides information about procedure volume:

	Procedure Volume
	2024		2023
Q1	39,486		31,600

 

---

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $6.8 million, for each of the quarters ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.

 

Research and development expenses were $1.4 million and $1.7 million for the quarters ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, a decrease of $0.2 million or 12%.

 

Net loss for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 was $2.2 million, or ($0.19) per common share, compared to a net loss of $4.3 million, or ($0.40) per common share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2023. Included within operating expenses are stock-based compensation expenses recorded for the quarters ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 of $0.7 million and $1.7 million, respectively.

 

Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (“EBITDA”) for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 was ($1.4) million, compared with ($3.5) million for the quarter ended March 31, 2023. Adjusted EBITDA, which we calculate by adding back stock-based compensation expense, and (income)/expense related to the change in the fair value of warrant liabilities was ($1.3) million for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 and ($1.8) million for the quarter ended March 31, 2023. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures, and a reconciliation of these measures to net loss is set forth below in this press release.

 

As of March 31, 2024, the Company had cash, cash equivalents, and investments of $19.1 million, as compared to $24.6 million at December 31, 2023. Cash used in the quarter ended March 31, 2024 was approximately $5.4 million.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

The Company prepares and analyzes operating and financial data and non-GAAP measures to assess the

performance of its business, make strategic and offering decisions and build its financial projections. The key

---

non-GAAP measures it uses are EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) before interest expense, interest income, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization expenses. EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. EBITDA is included in this filing because we believe that EBITDA provides meaningful supplemental information for investors regarding the performance of our business and facilitates a meaningful evaluation of actual results on a comparable basis with historical results. Adjusted EBITDA is also a non-GAAP financial measure. We believe Adjusted EBITDA, which is defined as EBITDA and further excluding stock-based compensation expense and change in fair value of warrant liabilities, provides meaningful supplemental information for investors when evaluating our results and comparing us to peer companies as stock-based compensation expense and change in fair value of warrant liabilities are significant non-cash charges. We use these non-GAAP financial measures in order to have comparable financial results to analyze changes in our underlying business from quarter to quarter. However, there are a number of limitations related to the use of non-GAAP measures and their nearest GAAP equivalents. For example, other companies may calculate non-GAAP measures differently, or may use other measures to calculate their financial performance and, therefore, any non-GAAP measures we use may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Investors should not consider our non-GAAP financial measures in isolation or as a substitute for an analysis of our results as reported under GAAP.
