iRhythm Technologies Announces Third Quarter 2017 Financial Results and Raises Guidance for Full Year 2017

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 01, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- iRhythm Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ:IRTC), a leading digital health care solutions company focused on the advancement of cardiac care, today reported financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017.

Recent Highlights

Revenue for the quarter ended September 30, 2017 increased 49% year-over-year to $25.0 million
Gross margin for the third quarter 2017 was 72% versus 69% in the third quarter of 2016

Third quarter and year-to-date performance highlight the progress we are making in establishing our Zio Service as the new standard of care for ambulatory cardiac monitoring, said Kevin King, CEO. "This consistent growth in demand has enabled us to confidently expand our salesforce and infrastructure throughout 2017, as well as make significant progress in growing in-network coverage, which has meaningfully increased our productivity and volume.

Third Quarter Financial Results
Revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2017 was $25.0 million, an increase of 49% year-over-year and 5% sequentially. Revenue growth remains predominantly driven by increased volume of the Zio Service in both new and existing accounts, as well as continued success with in-network contracting efforts.

Gross profit for the third quarter of 2017 was $18.1 million, or 72% gross margin, up from $11.5 million, or 69% gross margin, in the same period of the prior year. Margin expansion is primarily attributable to productivity gains through the company’s machine-learned algorithms associated with report generation, the impact from the mix shift to contracted claims, and continued reduction of device-related manufacturing costs.

Operating expenses for the third quarter of 2017 were $24.1 million, an increase of 70% compared to $14.2 million for the same period of the prior year. The increase in operating expenses was primarily driven by accelerated salesforce expansion investments and a material increase in stock-based compensation.

Loss from operations for the third quarter of 2017 was $6.5 million, compared to $4.1 million for the same period of the prior year.

Cash, cash equivalents, and investments totaled $107.4 million as of September 30, 2017.

Guidance for Full Year 2017
iRhythm projects revenue for the full year 2017 to range from $96 to $97 million, gross margins for the full year 2017 to range from 71.5% to 72.5% and operating expenses for the full year 2017 to be between $93 and $95 million. This compares to previous guidance of $94 to $96 million in revenue, 71.5% to 72.5% in gross margins, and $89 and $92 million in operating expenses for the full year 2017 provided on August 2, 2017.
