Here are the key takeaways from PROCEPT BioRobotics’ conference call:

  • Q2 revenue rose 19% year over year to $94.5 million, supported by 65 HYDROS system placements, stronger pricing, and 32% growth in U.S. system revenue. Management maintained its full-year revenue guidance of $390 million to $410 million.
  • U.S. procedures increased 21% to more than 13,100 but came in below expectations, primarily because of softness in legacy AquaBeam accounts. Full-year procedure guidance was reduced to 54,000–56,000, with the low end assuming no improvement in AquaBeam utilization.
  • HYDROS accounts are generating significantly more procedures per account than legacy AquaBeam sites, while launch-team-supported accounts are showing faster time to first case and stronger early utilization. PROCEPT is accelerating replacements, completing 14 in Q2 and now expecting approximately 40 for the full year.
  • Operating expenses increased to $89.8 million, driving a $26.9 million net loss and an $11.3 million adjusted EBITDA loss in Q2. The company raised full-year operating expense guidance to $355 million–$360 million, although it still expects positive adjusted EBITDA in Q4.
