Fourth quarter U.S. PDN trial procedures represented approximately 7% of total U.S. trial volume and grew approximately 92% sequentially over the previous quarter.

Preliminary, unaudited fourth quarter 2021 international revenue is expected to be approximately $14.3 million, compared to $15.1 million in the prior year period and $16.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2019.

Although the company is not providing preliminary, unaudited fourth quarter 2021 non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA results at this time, the company expects to exceed the high end of its previously provided fourth quarter 2021 non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA guidance range of approximately negative $10 million to negative $13 million.

"I am extremely proud of the significant efforts of the Nevro team to serve our customers and patients, and execute on our plans throughout a difficult environment in 2021," said D. Keith Grossman, Chairman, CEO and President of Nevro. "Even with the pandemic challenges throughout the year, we continued to capture share in the core lower back and leg pain market with our best-in-class SCS technology, superior clinical data and focused commercial execution. We saw continued progress in our core SCS business in the fourth quarter, as evidenced by the steady pick-up in trial activity that continued to improve from last quarter, as well as the ongoing improvement in permanent implant volumes. Our PDN launch is off to a great start, and as the only company to provide an FDA-approved SCS treatment option for PDN patients, we are looking forward to continuing to develop this exciting growth platform in 2022 and beyond. We continue to believe we are very well positioned for attractive growth when the impact and uncertainties of COVID on our market subsides."
