NeuroPace (NASDAQ:NPCE) Posts Quarterly Earnings Results, Beats Estimates By $0.08 EPS

NeuroPace (NASDAQ:NPCE) released its quarterly earnings data on Thursday. The company reported ($0.03) earnings per share for the quarter, beating the consensus estimate of ($0.11) by $0.08, reports. The firm had revenue of $23.10 million during the quarter, compared to analysts’ expectations of $27.12 million. NeuroPace had a negative net margin of 19.34% and a negative return on equity of 105.64%.

Here are the key takeaways from NeuroPace’s conference call:

• Third-quarter results missed expectations: RNS revenue grew just 1.4% year over year to $22.9 million, while total revenue fell 1.1% to $23.1 million. NeuroPace attributed the shortfall to operational disruptions at large accounts, sales-team transitions and the lagged impact of exiting its SEEG distribution business; it said it is seeing signs of recovery but expects improvement to take several quarters.
• The company cut 2026 revenue guidance to $91 million–$92 million, from $99.5 million–$101.5 million previously, implying full-year RNS growth of 10%–11%. It expects an adjusted EBITDA loss of $8.5 million–$9.5 million for the year, despite raising its gross-margin outlook and reducing expected operating expenses.
• For 2027, NeuroPace expects RNS revenue growth of about 15%, with growth of 10%–15% in the first half and 15%–20% in the second half. The outlook excludes any contribution from an IGE indication expansion and service revenue, and depends on improved commercial execution.
• NeuroPace is advancing several potential growth catalysts: it expects to submit its IGE amendment around year-end, with possible FDA approval by mid-2027; Remote Care was submitted ahead of schedule, with approval possible in the second quarter of 2027. Its adolescent focal epilepsy study is underway, with enrollment expected to finish in early 2027 and potential approval in late 2027 or early 2028; all timelines remain subject to FDA review and study results.
