HeartBeam Reports First Quarter 2024 Results

Continued Clinical and Regulatory Progress on the AIMIGo™ 3D VECG System

Presented Positive Results on its Artificial Intelligence Capabilities for Detecting Arrhythmias

Management to Host Webcast and Conference Call Today At 4:30 p.m. ET

HeartBeam, Inc. (NASDAQ: BEAT), a medical technology company focused on transforming cardiac care through the power of personalized insights, has reported its financial and operational results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2024.

First Quarter & Subsequent 2024 Operational Highlights

The Company made steady progress toward key clinical and regulatory milestones on its AIMIGo™ 3D vectorelectrocardiography (3D VECG) system.

AIMIGo 510(k) Submission:

  • The 510(k) submission for the AIMIGo™ system is currently being reviewed by the FDA.
  • AIMIGo is a credit card-sized cardiac monitoring device leveraging the Company’s core 3D VECG technology which captures the heart’s signals in three projections (X, Y, Z).
  • This is the cornerstone submission for HeartBeam and will be the basis of future submissions.
  • The Company currently anticipates clearance by the end of Q2 2024.

12-Lead Synthesis Software Submission:

  • HeartBeam has held two pre-submission meetings with FDA on the planned second 510(k) submission, which will be submitted after the initial clearance of the AIMIGo System.
  • The second submission is focused on the algorithms that synthesize the 3D signals captured by AIMIGo into a 12-lead ECG.
  • A key component of the submission will be the results of the VALID-ECG pivotal study, which began patient enrollment in March.
  • The study will demonstrate the similarity between the synthesized 12-lead ECG and a standard 12-lead ECG. Enrollment for VALID-ECG is expected to be completed in Q2 2024.

Other Highlights:

  • New data presented at the European Heart Rhythm Association (EHRA) conference marked the first scientific presentation on HeartBeam AI, the Company’s deep learning technology. The data demonstrated that applying HeartBeam AI to vectorcardiography (VCG) showed considerably improved performance in the detection of atrial flutter over single-lead electrocardiograms (ECGs) and similar performance to 12-lead ECGs, the standard for diagnosing atrial flutter.
  • Two new patents on ambulatory VECG technology were recently received from the US Patent and Trademark Office, expanding intellectual property footprint to seventeen issued and allowed patents worldwide.
  • The Company believes that its VECG technology has the potential to be the most advanced ambulatory cardiac monitoring solution and is applicable in a number of form factors. In anticipation of FDA clearance, we are refining our go-to-market strategy and are encouraged by our early discussions with industry players and their interest in our technology.
  • Cash and cash equivalents totaled approximately $12.6 million as of March 31, 2024, enabling the Company to execute on upcoming clinical and regulatory milestones.

Management Commentary

“In the first quarter we remained on track with expected regulatory and clinical milestones for the AIMIGo 3D VECG technology platform, and in tandem advanced developments related to the use of artificial intelligence (AI) applied to our VECG technology,” said Branislav Vajdic, PhD, Chief Executive Officer and Founder of HeartBeam. “Following the FDA 510(k) submission for the AIMIGo VECG system, we currently anticipate clearance by the end of Q2 2024, and a limited launch of AIMIGo by the end of 2024.

“Following the initial FDA clearance for AIMIGo, we plan to submit a second 510(k) application in Q3 2024. This submission will include results from our pivotal VALID-ECG clinical study. To date, we have enrolled more than 50% of the patients and anticipate completing enrollment in Q2 2024.

“During the first quarter, we were encouraged by our progress in using artificial intelligence with our 3D VECG technology. By leveraging AI to analyze our data-rich signals, we believe we will be able to improve diagnostic accuracy and extract unique information that today’s ambulatory ECGs are unable to detect.

“In April we presented positive new data for our deep learning algorithm, HeartBeam AI, at the EHRA conference. The study shows that HeartBeam AI combined with VCG delivers equivalent performance to a 12-lead ECG and greatly improves detection of atrial flutter over a single-lead ECG. We believe this presents an opportunity for a VCG-based algorithm that offers arrhythmia detection capabilities beyond what is available today and to make it easier to obtain a 12-lead ECG.

“We ended the first quarter of 2024 with approximately $12.6 million in cash and cash equivalents. We believe we are in a strong position as we carefully manage spending. We look forward to providing updates on our progress in the months ahead,” concluded Dr. Vajdic.

First Quarter 2024 Financial Results

Research and development expenses for the first quarter of 2024 were $2.4 million, compared to $1.7 million for the first quarter of 2023.

General and administrative expenses for the first quarter of 2024 were $2.4 million compared to $2.5 million for the first quarter of 2023.

Net loss for the first quarter of 2024 was $4.6 million, compared to a net loss of $4.1 million for the first quarter of 2023.

Cash and cash equivalents totaled $12.6 million as of March 31, 2024, compared to $16.2 million as of December 31, 2023. Net cash used in operations was $3.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024.
