AtriCure reports Q2 2024 financial results

AtriCure, Inc. announced second quarter 2024 financial results.

“Our second quarter results reflect strong growth worldwide, underscored by our pain management and open AtriClip® franchises, as we continued to deliver exceptional patient outcomes across all therapies, while driving positive cash flow,” said Michael Carrel, President and Chief Executive Officer at AtriCure. “Entering the second half of 2024, we are advancing several clinical initiatives including our LeAAPS™ stroke reduction trial and introducing new products across our markets, with two cryoSPHERE® probes to reduce freeze times and the most advanced, smallest profile AtriClip® device. We also remain focused on improving the efficiency of our business.”

Second quarter 2024 financial results
Revenue for the second quarter 2024 was $116.3 million, an increase of 15.2% over second quarter 2023 revenue (15.4% on a constant currency basis), reflecting continued adoption of our products by physicians globally and an acceleration in U.S. pain management and international franchises, as well as U.S. open appendage management which outpaced overall growth. On a sequential basis, worldwide revenue for the second quarter 2024 increased approximately 7% from the first quarter.

U.S. revenue was $95.5 million, an increase of $10.6 million or 12.5%, compared to the second quarter 2023. U.S. revenue growth was driven by sales across key product lines, highlighted by cryoSPHERE® probes for post-operative pain management, the AtriClip® Flex·V® device in appendage management, and the ENCOMPASS® clamp in open ablation. International revenue increased $4.7 million or 29.4% (30.4% on a constant currency basis) to $20.7 million, realizing significant growth across all franchises and most major geographic regions.

Gross profit for the second quarter 2024 was $86.8 million compared to $77.1 million for the second quarter 2023. Gross margin was 74.7% for the second quarter 2024, a decrease of 168 basis points from the second quarter 2023, reflecting less favorable geographic and product mix, as well as increased product costs compared to the prior year. Loss from operations for the second quarter 2024 was $7.2 million, compared to $4.1 million for the second quarter 2023. Basic and diluted net loss per share was $0.17 for the second quarter 2024, compared to $0.11 for the second quarter 2023.

Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter 2024 is $7.8 million, a decrease of $0.2 million from second quarter of 2023. Adjusted loss per share for the second quarter 2024 was $0.17, compared to $0.12 for the second quarter 2023.

Constant currency revenue, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted loss per share are non-GAAP financial measures. We discuss these non-GAAP financial measures and provide reconciliations to GAAP measures later in this release.

2024 financial guidance

Management continues to expect full year 2024 Adjusted EBITDA of approximately $26 million to $29 million, with improvements annually thereafter.
