IceCure Medical Reports 2024 Financial Results: 42% Growth in ProSense$(R)$ Cryoablation Sales in North America
PR Newswire
CAESAREA, Israel, March 27, 2025
Expecting FDA decision on marketing authorization for early-stage low risk breast cancer with endocrine therapy
Positive ProSense(R) results were reported through 33 peer-reviewed journals and medical conferences during 2024
Conference call to be held today at 10:00 am Eastern Time
CAESAREA, Israel, March 27, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- IceCure Medical Ltd. (Nasdaq: ICCM) ("IceCure", "IceCure Medical" or the "Company"), developer of minimally-invasive cryoablation technology that destroys tumors by freezing as an alternative to surgical tumor removal, today reported financial results as of and for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024.
IceCure continues to engage with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") regarding its De Novo marketing authorization request for ProSense(R) in early-stage low risk breast cancer with endocrine therapy. Should ProSense(R) receive marketing authorization in this indication, ProSense(R) would become a first-in-class minimally invasive alternative to standard of care lumpectomy.
"The sales momentum we have experienced in 2024 for ProSense(R) in North America, as well as in Europe and Japan, are encouraging signs that a positive marketing clearance outcome in the U.S. may lead to a higher adoption of ProSense(R). Early interest in the U.S. for breast cancer cryoablation is evident following the favorable decision of the FDA Medical Device Advisory Panel ("Advisory Panel") in November 2024," stated IceCure Medical's CEO, Eyal Shamir.
"We continue to see adoption of ProSense(R) cryoablation in numerous indications across the globe. This traction is evident through 33 investigator-initiated studies presented and published during 2024," Shamir added.
Upcoming 2025 Catalysts
-- The FDA's marketing authorization decision for ProSense(R) in early-stage
low risk breast cancer with endocrine therapy is expected
-- If market authorization is received in the U.S., this, combined with the
final ICE3 trial data and the in-depth analysis of ProSense(R) during the
public meeting of the Advisory Panel in November 2024, is expected to
drive further sales momentum in global markets
-- Terumo Corporation, IceCure's partner in Japan, is expected to file for
regulatory approval of ProSense(R) for breast cancer in Japan
-- Regulatory approval is expected for the next-generation XSense$(TM)$ in
Israel.
-- Additional third-party data on ProSense(R) are expected to be published
in medical journals and presented at prestigious medical conferences
throughout 2025
Financial Results for the Twelve Months Ended December 31, 2024 Demonstrate Accelerating Growth of ProSense(R) Adoption and Utilization
Sales of ProSense(R) systems and disposable probes for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024 increased to $3,191,000 compared to $2,955,000 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2023. The growth was primarily attributable to sales in North America, as well as increases in Japan and other territories in Asia and Europe, partially offset by a decrease in sales in China and Latin America. Total revenue for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024 increased to $3,291,000 from $3,229,000 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2023, primarily due to an increase in product sales, which was partially offset by a decrease in revenue recognition and other services in Japan of $100,000 and $274,000 in the twelve months of 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Gross profit for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024 increased by 12% to $1,451,000 from $1,300,000 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2023. Gross margin increased to 44% in the twelve months ended December 31, 2024 compared to 40% in the twelve months ended December 31, 2023. The increase in gross profit and gross margin was attributable to an 8% increase in revenue from product sales. Non-GAAP gross profit for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024 increased to $1,351,000 from $1,026,000 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2023, an increase of $325,000 or 32%. Non-GAAP gross margin for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024 increased to 42% from 35% for the twelve months ended December 31, 2023. The increase in non-GAAP gross profit and non-GAAP gross margin, which exclude revenue from the exclusive distribution agreements and other services in Japan, was attributable to the increase of 8% in revenue from product sales. Non-GAAP gross profit and non-GAAP gross margin are financial measures that may be defined as "non-GAAP financial measures" by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). For a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the nearest comparable measure calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. ("GAAP"), see Appendix A to this press release.
Research and development expenses for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024 decreased by 14% to $7,096,000 compared to $8,273,000 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2023. The decrease was primarily due to a reduction in development expenses for the XSense(TM) System, which received FDA authorization in June 2024, and a decrease in clinical and regulatory costs as the Company concluded the ICE3 study in March 2024. Sales and marketing expenses increased for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024 by 42% to $6,296,000 compared to $4,437,000 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2023 as the Company focused on increased global marketing to support growing sales and in anticipation of potential marketing authorization for ProSense(R) in early-stage breast cancer in the U.S. General and administrative expenses for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024 decreased by 10% to $3,755,000 from $4,166,000 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2023, reflecting the Company's continued prudent budgeting and operating efficiencies.
Total operating expenses for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024 increased by 2% to $17,147,000 from $16,876,000 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2023. The increase in operating expenses was attributable to an increase in sales and marketing expenses, which were partially offset by reductions in research and development and general and administrative expenses, due to the Company's initiative to reduce non-critical operating expenses.
Net loss for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024 increased by 5% to $15,318,000, or $0.30 per share, compared to a net loss of $14,652,000, or $0.32 per share, for the same period last year.
As of December 31, 2024, the Company had cash and cash equivalents, including short-term deposits, of approximately $7.6 million. As of March 24, 2025, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $6.0 million. Between January 13, 2025 and March 24, 2025, the Company raised $2.6 million in net proceeds from the sale of 2,047,277 ordinary shares under its at-the-market offering facility.
Use of Non-U.S. GAAP Measures
In addition to disclosing financial results prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, this press release contains certain financial measures which may be defined as "non-GAAP financial measures" by the SEC. The Company defines non-GAAP gross profit as gross profit less revenue from exclusive distribution agreements and other services. The Company has provided non-GAAP gross profit in this press release because it is a key measure used by management and the board of directors as an indication of our gross profit from sales of our systems and disposables and management believes that it is useful to investors' understanding and assessment of the Company's gross profit without the impact of revenue recorded from the Company's exclusive distribution agreements and other services. The Company has provided a reconciliation below of non-GAAP gross profit and non-GAAP gross margin to the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measures disclosed by the Company should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP and the financial results calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP and reconciliations to those financial results should be carefully evaluated.
