ALISO VIEJO, Calif., May 07, 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 reported financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2025.

Key Quarterly Highlights

Reported first quarter 2025 revenue of $37.9 million, an increase of 28% compared to the first quarter of 2024, reflecting:
- The sale of 27,579 Light Adjustable Lenses (LAL^®/LAL+^®), representing a 36% increase in procedure volume compared to the first quarter of 2024;
- The sale of 73 Light Delivery Devices (LDD™s), bringing the installed base to 1,044 LDDs as of March 31, 2025, which represents a 43% expansion compared to the installed base of 732 LDDs at end of the first quarter of 2024; and
The company reiterated its 2025 full-year revenue, gross margin and operating expense guidance.

"The exceptional clinical value delivered by our Light Adjustable Lens continues to drive significant enthusiasm among cataract surgeons," said Ron Kurtz, Chief Executive Officer and President of RxSight. "The excitement and engagement we observed at the recent ASCRS meeting further reinforces our conviction that customization and post-operative adjustability are shaping the future of premium cataract surgery. Supported by strong customer and patient interest, an innovative product pipeline, the expansion of third-party light treatment service center business models, and recent international regulatory approvals, we believe we are well-positioned to lead the next chapter of growth in the premium IOL market."

First Quarter Financial Results

In the first quarter of 2025, total revenue was $37.9 million, an increase of 28% compared to $29.5 million in the first quarter of 2024. Revenue growth was driven by a 37% increase in LAL revenue and an 8% increase in LDD revenue, compared to the first quarter of 2024.

Gross profit for the first quarter of 2025 was $28.3 million or 74.8% of revenue, an increase of $7.6 million compared to gross profit of $20.7 million or 70.1% of revenue for the first quarter of 2024. The lower cost of sales for both the LDD and LAL drove the increase in gross profit in the quarter, along with the favorable shift in product mix toward LAL sales, and sustained pricing stability for company's capital equipment.

Total operating expenses for the first quarter of 2025 were $39.0 million, a 24% increase from $31.4 million in the first quarter of 2024, reflecting the company's ongoing investments to grow its LDD installed base, support increased LAL sales volume, and advance its research and development pipeline.

In the first quarter of 2025, the company reported a net loss of $(8.2) million, or $(0.20) per basic and diluted share, compared to a net loss of $(9.1) million, or $(0.25) per basic and diluted share in the first quarter of 2024. Adjusted net loss in the first quarter of 2025 was $(1.1) million, or $(0.03) per basic and diluted share, compared to an adjusted net loss of $(4.4) million, or $(0.12) per basic and diluted share in the first quarter of 2024.

Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments decreased by $7.9 million as of March 31, 2025, to $229.3 million compared to $237.2 million at December 31, 2024.

2025 Guidance

The company reiterated its 2025 full-year revenue, gross margin and operating expense guidance as follows:

Revenue of $160.0 million to $175.0 million, representing implied growth of 14% to 25% compared to 2024;
Gross margin in the range of 71% to 73%, representing an implied increase of 30 basis points to 230 basis points compared to 2024;
Operating expenses in the range of $150.0 million to $160.0 million, representing an implied increase of 10% to 18% compared to 2024; and

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements presented under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP"), we believe certain non-GAAP measures, including adjusted net earnings (loss), and adjusted net earnings (loss) per share, basic and diluted, provide useful information to investors and are useful in evaluating our operating performance. For example, we exclude stock-based compensation expense because this expense is non-cash in nature and we believe excluding this item provides meaningful supplemental information regarding our operational performance and allows investors the ability to make more meaningful comparisons between our operating results and those of other companies.

We believe that non-GAAP financial information, when taken collectively, may be helpful to investors because it provides consistency and comparability with past financial performance. However, non-GAAP financial information is presented for supplemental informational purposes only, has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with GAAP. In addition, other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate similarly titled non-GAAP measures differently or may use other measures to evaluate their performance. A reconciliation is provided below for each non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable financial measure stated in accordance with GAAP. 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.

Adjusted Net Loss and Adjusted Net Loss Per Share

Adjusted net earnings (loss) is a non-GAAP financial measure that we define as net earnings (loss) adjusted for stock-based compensation. We believe adjusted net loss provides investors with useful information on period-to-period performance as evaluated by management and comparison with our past financial performance and is useful in evaluating our operating performance compared to that of other companies in our industry, as this metric generally eliminates the effects of certain items that may vary from company to company for reasons unrelated to overall operating performance.

Reconciliations of net loss to adjusted net loss and the presentation of adjusted net loss per share, basic and diluted, are as follows:
