Stereotaxis, a leading provider of robotic technologies for the treatment of cardiac arrhythmias, announced a 2% increase in revenue to $7.8 million in the third quarter of 2023. The growth was primarily attributed to the adoption of their Genesis robotic system. Despite experiencing delays in Chinese projects and a loss of royalty revenue, Stereotaxis remains optimistic about future growth.
One of the key takeaways from the earnings call was that Stereotaxis recognized revenue on two Genesis systems in Q3, contributing to the overall revenue growth. The company’s system backlog currently stands at $13 million, and they anticipate ending the year with multiple additional orders. Stereotaxis is witnessing strong capital activity in Europe, although projects in China have been delayed due to an anti-corruption drive.
Although there was a loss of royalty revenue, Stereotaxis still reported revenue growth. However, the company faced challenges due to a catheter shortage, which put residual pressure on procedures. Despite these obstacles, Stereotaxis maintained a gross margin of 52% for Q3, with recurring revenue gross margin at 80% and system gross margin at 18%. Operating expenses for the quarter were $9.7 million.
Looking ahead, Stereotaxis plans to submit a PMA supplement submission for its MAGiC ablation catheter to the FDA before year-end. They also anticipate a 510k submission for their endovascular procedures in the second quarter of 2024. The company emphasized the anticipation among physicians for the approval of MAGiC and mentioned the availability of a new X-Ray solution in Europe.
