ClearPoint Neuro Reports Third Quarter 2022 Results
Company Reaffirms 2022 Revenue Forecast
SOLANA BEACH, CA, November 8, 2022 – ClearPoint Neuro, Inc. (Nasdaq: CLPT) (the “Company”), a global therapy-enabling platform company providing navigation and delivery to the brain, today announced financial results for its third quarter ended September 30, 2022.
Third Quarter Highlights
•Reported quarterly revenue of $5.1 million, a 13% year-over-year increase;
•Partner PTC Therapeutics’ gene therapy treatment Upstaza™ was granted full marketing authorization by the European Commission. Upstaza will be administered with the Company’s SmartFlow® Neuro Cannula;
•Added multiple new biologics and drug delivery partners in the quarter to bring the total to approximately 50;
•Announced multiple FDA clearances: the ClearPoint Maestro™ Brain Model, the ClearPoint Prism™ Neuro Laser Therapy System and the 2.1 version of the ClearPoint Neuro Navigation software; and
•Cash and short-term investments totaled $40.5 million as of September 30, 2022.
Business Outlook
•The Company reaffirms its full year 2022 revenue outlook of between $21.0 and $22.0 million.
“The ClearPoint Neuro Team has continued to execute against our four-pillar growth strategy in the third quarter and remain on track to achieve our previously announced strategic and financial goals for the year,” commented Joe Burnett, President and CEO.
“We achieved another strong quarter for revenue despite a historically high case cancellation rate and hospital supply chain disruptions. Our Biologics and Drug Delivery team added multiple new pharma and academic partners bringing our total to approximately 50 and keeping pace at approximately one new partner each month. Three new products were cleared by the FDA in the quarter and are in the process of being deployed in limited market releases before the end of the year. We have now installed a record 10 new systems globally year to date and have the largest active capital funnel in our history.
Particularly of note, the European Commission granted marketing authorization for Upstaza to our partner PTC Therapeutics. Upstaza is the first marketed gene therapy approved anywhere in the world to be dosed by direct infusion into the brain. Consistent with our long term strategy, the Summary of Product Characteristics for Upstaza specifically includes the ClearPoint SmartFlow Neuro Cannula as the device used for minimally invasive infusion of the gene therapy. We believe the approval of Upstaza, delivered with ClearPoint’s cannula, demonstrates the viability and potential of our drug delivery partnerships.
At present, we are reaffirming our prior guidance of revenue between $21.0 and $22.0 million for the year and continue to maintain a strong balance sheet with over $40 million in cash and short-term investments enabling the continuation of our four-pillar growth strategy.”


Financial Results – Quarter Ended September 30, 2022
Total revenue was $5.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022, and $4.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021, which represents an increase of $0.6 million, or 13%.
Functional neurosurgery navigation and therapy revenue, increased 12% to $2.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022, from $2.2 million for the same period in 2021. The growth was driven by higher service revenue.
Biologics and drug delivery revenue, which includes sales of disposable products and services related to customer-sponsored clinical trials utilizing our products, increased 9% to $2.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022, from $2.1 million for the same period in 2021. This increase is attributable to a $0.5 million increase in service revenue, partially offset by $0.3 million decrease in product revenue.
Capital equipment and software revenue, consisting of sales of ClearPoint reusable hardware and software, and of related services, increased 32% to $0.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022, from $0.4 million for the same period in 2021 due to an increase in the placements of ClearPoint capital and software.
Gross margin for the three months ended September 30, 2022, was 72%, as compared to a gross margin of 66% for the three months ended September 30, 2021. The increase in gross margin was due primarily to an increased contribution of service revenue, which carries a higher gross margin relative to product revenue and by lower overhead expenses.
Operating expenses for the third quarter of 2022 were $7.5 million, compared to $6.8 million for the third quarter of 2021. The increase was mainly driven by the increase in headcount across the organization and share based compensation.
At September 30, 2022, the Company had cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments totaling $40.5 million as compared to $54.1 million at December 31, 2021, with the decrease resulting primarily from the use of cash in operating activities of $13.1 million.
