Initiates Process Aimed at Accelerating Growth, Diversifying Product Portfolio and Maximizing Stockholder Value

Revises Full-Year 2024 Revenue Guidance to a Range of $400 million to $405 million and Adjusted EBITDA Guidance to a Range of $(20) Million to $(18) Million

Provides Third-Quarter 2024 Guidance

REDWOOD CITY, Calif., Aug. 6, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Nevro Corp. (NYSE: NVRO), a global medical device company that is delivering comprehensive, life-changing solutions for the treatment of chronic pain, today reported its second-quarter 2024 financial results, revised its full-year 2024 guidance, and issued third-quarter 2024 guidance. The company also announced that it is initiating a process aimed at accelerating its growth, diversifying its product portfolio and maximizing stockholder value.

"Our second-quarter 2024 results were primarily driven by ongoing softness in the U.S. spinal cord stimulation (SCS) market and competitive pressures," said Kevin Thornal, Nevro's CEO. "Our recent in-depth market analysis shows that newer treatment therapies have emerged earlier in the care continuum ahead of SCS therapy. We believe these therapies are, in some cases, delaying patients in getting SCS therapy, which is towards the end of the care continuum, but we believe many patients will ultimately continue their journey to treat the often-multiple causes of their pain through SCS therapy. While the SCS market remains significantly underpenetrated and will remain an important solution for patients suffering from chronic pain, we believe our strategy to enter and build our business in more diverse markets serving patients earlier in the care continuum will position us to realize sustainable growth, a faster path to profitability and value creation."

"Over the past year, we implemented our strategy that includes tightening our commercial execution which we still need to improve upon, acquired an SI joint company that allowed us to expand into an adjacent market that is earlier in the care continuum, aligned our cost structure more closely with our business and strengthened our balance sheet," said Thornal. "In light of the evolving market dynamics, our Board of Directors and senior management team have begun a process aimed at building on our growth and diversification strategy with the goal of accelerating profitability and maximizing stockholder value. We have retained advisors, and over the next several months, we will move aggressively to explore broader options beyond our current standalone path that may help us accelerate achievement of our goals."

"Importantly, we are in a solid financial position and remain committed to bringing innovative products to our customers that treat patients suffering from chronic pain. Our customer-facing team is one of our largest assets, and they remain dedicated to partnering with our physicians to provide exceptional patient care," added Thornal.

Second-Quarter 2024 Financial Highlights
(As compared with second-quarter 2023)

  • Worldwide revenue was approximately $104.2 million, down 4.3% as reported and 4.2% on a constant currency basis.
    • U.S. revenue was $90.7 million, down 2.4%.
    • International revenue was $13.5 million, down 15.0% as reported and 14.5% on a constant currency basis.
  • U.S. trial procedures decreased approximately 9.5% mainly due to competitive pressures and ongoing softness in the core U.S. SCS market during the quarter.
  • Net loss from operations was $19.6 million; adjusted EBITDA was $3.0 million. Refer to the financial table at the end of this release for GAAP to non-GAAP reconciliations, definitions and further information regarding the use of non-GAAP metrics.
  • Nevro presented a biomechanical analysis at the American Society of Pain & Neuroscience 2024 Annual Conference showing that Nevro1™, one of the company's sacroiliac joint (SI) fusion products, provides a significantly better opportunity for robust arthrodesis of the SI joint compared to competing devices as it relates to fixation, invasiveness and fusion surface area.

Second-Quarter 2024 Financial Results

Worldwide revenue for the second quarter of 2024 was $104.2 million, a decrease of 4.3% as reported and 4.2% on a constant currency basis, compared with $108.8 million in the second quarter of 2023. The year-over-year decrease was primarily the result of competitive pressures in the U.S. SCS market and ongoing softness in the core U.S. SCS market.

U.S. revenue in the second quarter of 2024 was $90.7 million, a decrease of 2.4% compared with $93.0 million in the second quarter of 2023. U.S. permanent implant procedures decreased 6.5% compared with the second quarter of 2023, and U.S. trial procedures decreased 9.5% compared with the second quarter of 2023.

International revenue in the second quarter of 2024 was $13.5 million compared with $15.8 million in the second quarter of 2023, a decrease of 15.0% as reported and 14.5% on a constant currency basis. The decline in revenue was primarily due to the short-term impact of negative SCS-related media reports in Australia that resulted in the postponement and cancellation of cases as well the impact of healthcare reform in Germany that caused a delay in procedures in the second quarter of 2024.

Gross profit for the second quarter of 2024 was $67.5 million compared with $74.4 million in the second quarter of 2023. Gross profit in the current year quarter included a $6.0 million one-time charge related to the renegotiation of a supplier contract as the company works to expedite the move of its manufacturing processes to its Costa Rica manufacturing facility. Excluding this charge, gross profit was $73.5 million in the second quarter of 2024. Gross margin in the second quarter of 2024 was 64.8%, or 70.5% excluding the aforementioned supplier contract renegotiation charge, compared with 68.4% in the second quarter of 2023.

Operating expenses for the second quarter of 2024 were $92.6 million compared with $100.1 million for the year-ago period and include a $4.6 million charge related to the company's May 2024 restructuring and $1.7 million in intangible amortization and contingent consideration revaluations related to Nevro's acquisition of Vyrsa™ Technologies, offset by a $4.1 million reduction in litigation-related expenses. Excluding these items, operating expenses in the second quarter of 2024 improved by $9.7 million, or 9.6%, compared with the prior-year quarter, reflecting the benefits from the company's January and May 2024 restructurings and continued disciplined expense management efforts in the current-year quarter.

Litigation-related legal expenses were $0.8 million for the second quarter of 2024 compared with $4.9 million for the second quarter of 2023. The year-over-year decrease was primarily due to the resolution of the company's legal disputes with the Mayo Clinic and Flathead Partners in the second quarter of 2024.

Net loss from operations for the second quarter of 2024 was $25.1 million, or approximately $17.0 million excluding the previously mentioned charge related to the supplier contract renegotiation; the May 2024 restructuring charge; intangible amortization; contingent consideration revaluations; and year-over-year decrease in litigation-related expenses. Net loss from operations in the second quarter of 2023 was $25.6 million.

Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter of 2024 was $3.0 million compared with a loss of $3.1 million for the second quarter of 2023. Adjusted EBITDA excludes interest, taxes and non-cash items such as stock-based compensation and depreciation and amortization, as well as litigation-related expenses, restructuring and supplier contract renegotiation charges, and other adjustments. Refer to the financial table at the end of this release for GAAP to adjusted (non-GAAP) reconciliations.

Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments totaled $273.7 million as of June 30, 2024, a decrease of $7.8 million from March 31, 2024. This decrease was driven by cash used in operations.

Full-Year and Third-Quarter 2024 Financial Guidance

Based on its second-quarter 2024 performance and outlook for the remainder of this year, Nevro is revising its full-year 2024 worldwide revenue to be in the range of approximately $400 million to $405 million from its previous guidance range of $435 million to $445 million. The company's revised guidance assumes that U.S. SCS trialing growth rates do not improve from the second quarter of 2024.

The company is revising its full-year 2024 adjusted EBITDA guidance to a range of negative $20 million to negative $18 million from its previous guidance range of negative $5 million to positive $2 million.

For the third quarter of 2024, Nevro expects worldwide revenue to be in the range of approximately $92 million to $94 million and adjusted EBITDA to be in the range of negative $10 million to negative $9 million.

Nevro has not provided a quantitative reconciliation of forecasted adjusted EBITDA to forecasted net income (loss) within this press release because the company is unable, without making unreasonable efforts, to calculate certain reconciling items with confidence.

Management uses certain non-GAAP financial measures, most specifically adjusted EBITDA, as a supplement to GAAP financial measures to further evaluate the company's operating performance period over period, analyze the underlying business trends, assess performance relative to competitors and establish operational objectives.

Management believes it is important to provide investors with the same non-GAAP metrics it uses to evaluate the performance and underlying trends of the company's business operations to facilitate comparisons to its historical operating results and evaluate the effectiveness of its operating strategies. Disclosure of these non-GAAP financial measures also facilitates comparisons of the company's underlying operating performance with other companies in the industry that also supplement their GAAP results with non-GAAP financial measures.

EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure, which is calculated by adding interest income and expense, net; provision for income taxes; and depreciation and amortization to net income. In calculating non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA, the company further adjusts for the following items:

  • Stock-based compensation expense and other equity-related charges – The company excludes non-cash costs related to the company's stock-based plans, which include stock options, restricted stock units and performance-based restricted stock units as these expenses do not require cash settlement from the company.
  • Amortization of intangibles – The company excludes amortization of intangibles from the acquisition of businesses.
  • Change in fair value of contingent consideration – The company excludes the changes in the fair value of its contingent consideration liability.
  • Change in fair market value of warrants – The company excludes the changes in the fair value of its warrant liability.
  • Litigation-related expenses – The company excludes legal and professional fees as well as charges and credits associated with certain legal matters, which management considers not related to the underlying operating performance of the business.
  • Restructuring charges – The company excludes charges incurred as a direct result of restructuring programs, such as salaries and other compensation-related expenses.
  • Supplier contract renegotiation charge – The company excluded one-time costs associated with the renegotiation of a supplier contract.

Full-year guidance excludes the impact of foreign currency fluctuations.

The non-GAAP financial measure should not be considered in isolation from, or as a replacement for, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, as it is not prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Nevro has not provided a quantitative reconciliation of forecasted adjusted EBITDA to forecasted net income (loss) within this press release because the company is unable, without making unreasonable efforts, to calculate certain reconciling items with confidence. These items include, but are not limited to, stock-based compensation expenses, amortization of intangibles, change in fair value of contingent consideration, change in fair value of warrants, and litigation-related expenses.

Amounts may not add due to rounding.
