Recent Highlights

  • Recognized revenue of $11.3 million for the third quarter of 2019, representing a 215% increase over the third quarter of 2018
  • Received Breakthrough Device Designation from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for IVL System with the C2 Coronary IVL Catheter, which is currently the subject of the DISRUPT CAD III Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) study designed to support FDA approval
  • Unveiled results of the DISRUPT CAD II European post-market study of Coronary IVL at recent Transcatheter Cardiovascular Therapeutics (TCT) conference, confirming the low complication rates and strong safety and performance from the DISRUPT CAD I study
  • Commenced full commercial launch of the S4 device at the Vascular Interventional Advances (VIVA) 2019 Annual Conference
  • Initiated CAD IV study of Coronary IVL in Japan

"Our third quarter performance was marked by many key accomplishments as our team continues to deliver solid, balanced, results across our domestic and international businesses," said Doug Godshall, President and Chief Executive Officer of Shockwave Medical. "Additionally, we have achieved several important operational successes, including doubling the number of patients enrolled in CAD III since last quarter, initiating our CAD IV study in Japan and completing the full launch of our S4 device to safely address the large number of patients who suffer from below the knee peripheral disease. We look forward to building on this progress as we continue our efforts to positively impact patient outcomes worldwide."

Third Quarter 2019 Financial Results 
Revenue for the third quarter of 2019 was $11.3 million, an increase of $7.7 million, or 215%, compared to the third quarter of 2018. The growth was primarily driven by the expansion of the U.S. salesforce and international distributor network.

Gross profit for the third quarter of 2019 was $6.9 million compared to $1.6 million for the third quarter of 2018. The gross margin percentage for the third quarter of 2019 increased to 61% compared to 45% in the third quarter of 2018, driven primarily by continued improvements in production processes and greater absorption of fixed costs by higher production. 

Operating expenses were $20 million for the third quarter of 2019 compared to $11.7 million in the corresponding prior year period, an increase of 71%, primarily driven by salesforce expansion and higher clinical costs from the CAD III IDE and CAD IV Japan studies.

Net loss was $13 million in the third quarter of 2019, as compared to $10.2 million in the corresponding period of the prior year. Net loss per share was $0.46 in the third quarter of 2019.

Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments totaled $114.1 million as of September 30, 2019.

2019 Financial Guidance
Shockwave Medical projects revenue for the full year 2019 to range from $41 million to $42 million, which would represent 234% to 242% growth over the company's prior year revenue.
