Ra Medical Systems Reports 2021 Second Quarter Financial Results

Conference call begins at 4:30 p.m. Eastern time today

CARLSBAD, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Ra Medical Systems, Inc. (NYSE American: RMED), a medical device company focusing on commercializing its excimer laser system to treat vascular disease, reports financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and provides a business update.

Recent Operational Highlights

• Announced the sale of the Pharos dermatology business as part of the continued focus by the company of its resources on the large peripheral artery disease (PAD) market
• Enrolled 20 additional subjects in the company’s atherectomy pivotal clinical study since early May, for a total of 70 subjects enrolled to date in the 100-subject study
• Continued progress on catheter engineering projects including a hands-on workshop with interventional physicians to test guidewire compatible prototype devices
• Conducted early, promising research demonstrating the ability to use the DABRA system to fracture calcium in arteries

“Earlier today we announced the sale of our Pharos dermatology business following an extensive review and evaluation of strategic options. We believe this decision provides the best pathway to building shareholder value by allowing Ra Medical to continue to focus our resources on the large and growing market for medical devices to treat PAD. An estimated 19 million to 21 million people in the U.S. have PAD and the market segments we are targeting are projected to exceed $900 million in revenue this year,” said Will McGuire, Ra Medical CEO.

“We have reduced our expense structure going forward while improving our financial position as a result of the net proceeds received from the transaction and our At-the-Market offerings,” he added. “We are also exploring the potential for our DABRA technology to create shock waves that can fracture arterial calcium, sometimes referred to as intravascular lithotripsy. This application of our technology represents an exciting potential growth opportunity to treat calcified vessels in the PAD and coronary artery disease markets.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Ra Medical has presented certain financial information in accordance with U.S. GAAP and also on a non-GAAP basis for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2021 and June 30, 2020. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are performance measures that provide supplemental information management believes is useful to analysts and investors to evaluate Ra Medical’s ongoing results of operations, when considered alongside other GAAP measures. These measures are intended to aid investors in better understanding Ra Medical’s current financial performance and prospects for the future as seen through management. Management uses non-GAAP measures to compare the company’s performance relative to forecasts and strategic plans and to benchmark the company’s performance externally against competitors. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures facilitate comparisons with Ra Medical’s historical results and with the results of peer companies who present similar measures (although other companies may define non-GAAP measures differently than we define them, even when similar terms are used to identify such measures). Non-GAAP information is not prepared under a comprehensive set of accounting rules and should only be used to supplement an understanding of the company’s operating results as reported under U.S. GAAP. Ra Medical encourages investors to carefully consider its results under GAAP, as well as its supplemental non-GAAP information and the reconciliation between these presentations, to more fully understand its business. Reconciliations between GAAP and non-GAAP operating results are presented in the accompanying tables of this release.

Investors are encouraged to review the related GAAP financial measures and the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business. Ra Medical defines EBITDA as our GAAP net loss as adjusted to exclude depreciation and amortization, interest income, interest expense and income tax expense. Ra Medical defines Adjusted EBITDA as our GAAP net loss as adjusted to exclude depreciation and amortization, interest income, interest expense, income tax expense, stock-based compensation, gain from sale of property and equipment and gain on extinguishment of debt.
