Third Quarter 2021 Financial Results

Total Revenue was $8.7 million in the third quarter 2021, an increase from $2.1 million in the third quarter of 2020. The increase was primarily driven by system sales to new and existing hospital customers. U.S. system revenue was $5.0 million, compared to $0.6 million in the prior year period. As of September 30, 2021, the install base of Aquabeam Robotic Systems in the U.S. was 75 units. U.S. handpiece and consumable revenue was $2.2 million, compared to $0.5 million in the third quarter of 2020.

Gross margin for the third quarter 2021 was 48.9% compared to a -1% in the third quarter of 2020 and 42.2% in the second quarter of 2021. The increase relative to the second quarter of 2021 was driven primarily by increased system average selling prices.

Total operating expenses in the third quarter of 2021 were $17.0 million, compared with $10.9 million in the prior year period. The increase was primarily driven by increased sales and marketing expenses to expand the sales organization and increased G&A expenses associated with being a public company.

Net loss was $14.1 million for the third quarter of 2021 compared to $12.0 million in the prior year period.

Cash and short-term investments as of September 30, 2021, totaled $320.5 million, while long-term borrowings totaled $50.0 million. The company received approximately $172.4 million of net proceeds from the initial public offering, which closed on September 17.
