Recent Highlights

• Total Revenue of $20.3 million for the third quarter of 2022, an increase of 135% compared to the prior year period
• U.S. system and rental revenue of $9.8 million for the third quarter of 2022, an increase of 95% compared to the prior year period
• U.S. handpiece and consumables revenue of $8.0 million for the third quarter of 2022, an increase of 267% compared to the prior year period
• Increased fiscal year 2022 total revenue guidance to approximately $72.5 million, representing growth of 110% compared to 2021
• Entered into a new five-year $52 million loan arrangement on October 10, 2022. Proceeds from the new term loan were used to retire a $50 million debt facility with the Company’s existing lender.

• Announced a multi-system, national contract with Providence on September 19, 2022 to acquire AquaBeam Robotic Systems

“We are pleased to report another strong quarter, where our customers and patients continue to realize the significant clinical benefits when treated with Aquablation therapy,” said Reza Zadno, Chief Executive Officer. “Given our strong commercial momentum, excellent real-world outcomes and robust pipeline, we continue to make strategic investments to accelerate commercial hiring to further penetrate the market, while also expanding manufacturing capacity to meet future growth objectives in 2023 and beyond.”

Third Quarter 2022 Financial Results

Revenue for the third quarter of 2022 was $20.3 million, an increase of 135% compared to the prior year period. The increase was primarily driven by U.S revenues, including both system sales to new hospital customers and increased handpiece revenue. U.S. system revenue was $9.8 million, an increase of 95% compared to the prior year period. Growth was influenced largely by strong underlying demand from high-volume BPH hospitals. As of September 30, 2022, the install base of AquaBeam Robotic Systems in the U.S. was 139 systems. U.S. handpiece and consumable revenue for the quarter was $8.0 million, an increase of 267% compared to the prior year period. International revenue was $1.7 million for the quarter.

Gross margin for the third quarter 2022 was 50% compared to 49% in the prior year period. Gross margin improvement was driven by higher U.S. sales, increased average selling prices of both system sales and hand pieces and higher production volume. This was partially offset by increased investments in operations to expand capacity for future growth.

Operating expenses in the third quarter of 2022 were $32.3 million, compared with $17.0 million in the prior year period. The increase was primarily driven by increased selling, general and administrative expenses to expand the sales organization, increased research and development expenses, and increased expenses associated with being a public company.

Net loss was $22.6 million for the third quarter of 2022, compared to a loss of $14.1 million in the prior year period. Adjusted EBITDA was a loss of $18.3 million for the third quarter of 2022, compared to a loss of $10.9 million in the prior year period.

Full Year 2022 Financial Guidance

• The Company projects revenue for the full year 2022 to be approximately $72.5 million, which represents 110% growth over the Company’s prior year revenue. This compares to previous revenue guidance of $66 million to $68 million.
• The Company projects full year 2022 Gross Margin guidance to be in the range 50% to 51%.
• The Company projects full year 2022 total operating expense guidance of approximately $115 million, reflecting an increase in achievement allowances for variable incentive compensation and investments to expand the commercial team. This compares to previous total operating expense guidance of approximately $110 million.
• The Company projects full year 2022 Adjusted EBITDA loss to be approximately $65 million.

Adjusted EBITDA is a financial measure that is not prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP). For more information about the Company’s use of non-GAAP financial measures, please see the section below titled “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures (Unaudited).”

About PROCEPT BioRobotics Corporation
PROCEPT BioRobotics is a surgical robotics company focused on advancing patient care by developing transformative solutions in urology. PROCEPT BioRobotics develops, manufactures and sells the AquaBeam Robotic System, an advanced, image-guided, surgical robotic system for use in minimally invasive urologic surgery with an initial focus on treating benign prostatic hyperplasia, or BPH. BPH is the most common prostate disease and impacts approximately 40 million men in the United States. PROCEPT BioRobotics designed Aquablation therapy to deliver effective, safe and durable outcomes for males suffering from lower urinary tract symptoms, or LUTS, due to BPH that are independent of prostate size and shape or surgeon experience. The Company has developed a significant and growing body of clinical evidence, which includes nine clinical studies and over 100 peer-reviewed publications, supporting the benefits and clinical advantages of Aquablation therapy.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures (Unaudited)
This press release references Adjusted EBITDA, a financial measure that is not prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP). The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as earnings before interest expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization and stock-based compensation. Non-GAAP financial measures are not a substitute for or superior to measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP.

The Company believes that presenting Adjusted EBITDA provides useful supplemental information to investors about the Company in understanding and evaluating its operating results, enhancing the overall understanding of its past performance and future prospects, and allowing for greater transparency with respect to key financial metrics used by its management in financial and operational decision making. However, there are a number of limitations related to the use of non-GAAP measures and their nearest GAAP equivalents. For example, other companies may calculate non-GAAP measures differently, or may use other measures to calculate their financial performance, and therefore any non-GAAP measures the Company uses may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.
