ALISO VIEJO, Calif., Jan. 12, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- (NASDAQ: RXST) – RxSight, Inc., an ophthalmic medical device company dedicated to providing high-quality customized vision to patients following cataract surgery, today announced certain preliminary unaudited financial and operational results for the fourth quarter and full-year 2024 and provided full-year 2025 guidance.

Preliminary Unaudited Fourth Quarter and Full-year 2024 Results

• Preliminary unaudited fourth quarter 2024 revenue is expected to be approximately $40.2 million, representing growth of approximately 41% compared to the prior year period, driven by:
  • The sale of 29,069 Light Adjustable Lenses (LAL™/LAL+®); representing a 61% increase in procedure volume compared to the fourth quarter of 2023; and
  • The sale of 83 Light Delivery Devices (LDD™s), expanding the installed base to 971 LDDs as of December 31, 2024, representing a 46% increase compared to the installed base at end of the fourth quarter of 2023.
• Preliminary unaudited 2024 fiscal year revenue is expected to be approximately $139.9 million, representing growth of approximately 57% compared to the prior year, driven by:
  • The sale of 98,055 LALs; representing a 79% increase in procedure volume compared to 2023; and
  • The sale of 305 LDDs.
• Preliminary unaudited cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments as of December 31, 2024, is expected to be $237.2 million.
  

“During the fourth quarter, we achieved record highs for LDD sales and LAL procedures, meaningfully exceeding our initial full-year 2024 revenue guidance. With nearly one thousand LDDs installed, we now serve an estimated 15% of cataract surgeons in North America, while LAL procedures account for over 10% of the region’s premium IOL market. We believe this sustained growth in one of ophthalmology’s most competitive segments reflects the growing recognition of the superior visual outcomes enabled by adjustability,” said Dr. Ron Kurtz, Chief Executive Officer and President of RxSight. “In 2025, we expect adoption for the RxSight system to remain strong as we collaborate with a diverse range of customers to further expand the infrastructure for post-operative light treatments. Building on our momentum in North America, we also look forward to entering key international markets in Asia and Europe. Finally, leveraging the foundation established since our initial FDA approval, we plan to continue to innovate the RxSight system, that we believe will continue to set the standard for the premium IOL market for years to come.”

2025 Guidance

RxSight anticipates full-year 2025 revenue in the range of $185.0 million to $197.0 million, reflecting growth of approximately 32% to 41% over 2024. The company currently estimates the full-year 2025 gross profit margin to be in the 71% to 73% range. In addition, the company expects full-year 2025 operating expenses in the range of $165.0 million to $170.0 million, including non-cash stock-based compensation expense guidance in the range of $22.0 million to $25.0 million.

The Company’s fourth quarter and full-year 2024 financial and operational results are preliminary and are subject to the completion of the Company’s 2024 audit. Audited full-year 2024 and unaudited fourth quarter 2024 financial results are expected to be announced in February 2025.
