Profound Medical Announces Third Quarter 2022 Financial Results

TORONTO, Nov. 03, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Profound Medical Corp. (NASDAQ:PROF; TSX:PRN) (“Profound” or the “Company”), a commercial-stage medical device company that develops and markets customizable, incision-free therapies for the ablation of diseased tissue, today reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2022. Unless specified otherwise, all amounts in this press release are expressed in U.S. dollars and are presented in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

Third Quarter 2022 and Recent Corporate Highlights

  • The Current Procedural Terminology (“CPT®”) Category 1 application for Transurethral Ultrasound Ablation (“TULSA”), performed with its TULSA-PRO® system, was withdrawn for consideration at the September 2022 CPT® Editorial Panel Meeting. The Company anticipates submitting an updated application, which will include 2022 utilization data, at the appropriate time in 2023.
  • Profound made changes to its commercial organization to support continued growth, which included the appointments of Abbey Goodman and Hartmut Warnken as Chief Commercial Officer – U.S. and Chief Commercial Officer – OUS, respectively, with each having overall responsibility for leading Profound’s commercial strategy, sales, sales operations, and marketing activities in their corresponding geographies.
  • At the FOCAL 2022 conference, Laurence Klotz, M.D., FRCSC, CM, Professor of Surgery, University of Toronto and Sunnybrook Chair of Prostate Cancer Research, presented four-year follow-up data from the TACT (TULSA-PRO® Ablation Clinical Trial) pivotal study which continued to demonstrate durable and stable safety and efficacy outcomes following TULSA treatment of men with localized prostate cancer.
  • On November 3, 2022, the Company entered into a term loan agreement with CIBC Innovation Banking to provide a secured loan for total initial gross proceeds of C$10.0 million, maturing 5 years from the closing date, with an interest rate based on prime plus 2.0% (the “2022 CIBC Term Loan”). The Company is required to make interest-only payments for 12 months after the closing date, followed by 48 equal monthly principal payments, plus accrued interest. All obligations of the Company under the term loan agreement are guaranteed by current and future subsidiaries of the Company, and include security of first priority interests in the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries.

“As clinical data continue to demonstrate that TULSA is the best modality when it comes to prostate cancer treatment outcomes and side effects, and more physicians learn of our technology’s flexibility to treat an unrivaled variety of prostate disease patients, our confidence is growing in its potential to change the current standard of care,” said Dr. Menawat. “Among the keys to reaching that level of long-term success will be continuing to expand our installed base of TULSA-PRO® systems and helping to drive increased per-site utilization.”

Summary Third Quarter 2022 Results

For the quarter ended September 30, 2022, the Company recorded revenue of approximately $2.0 million, compared to approximately $2.5 million for the same three-month period a year ago. Recurring revenue, which consists of the sale of TULSA-PRO® consumables, lease of medical devices, procedures and services associated with extended warranties, increased approximately 14% to $1.2 million, while one-time sale of capital equipment declined 45% to $800,000.

Total operating expenses, which consist of research and development (“R&D”), general and administrative (“G&A”), and selling and distribution expenses, were approximately $9.3 million in the third quarter of 2022, an increase of 8% compared with approximately $8.6 million in the third quarter of 2021.

Expenditures for R&D for the three months ended September 30, 2022 were approximately $4.7 million, an increase of 17% compared with approximately $4.1 million in the three months ended September 30, 2021, primarily driven by CAPTAIN trial enrolment and treatment of patients, various quality and cost improvement projects, traveling for off-site MRI testing and site installation, and additional headcount. These were offset partially by decreases in share-based compensation and software licence costs.

G&A expenses for the 2022 third quarter decreased by 5% to approximately $2.4 million, compared with approximately $2.5 million in the same period in 2021, due to a decrease in share-based compensation, partially offset by additional headcount and new license costs for enterprise resource planning (ERP) and customer relationship management (CRM) software.

Third quarter 2022 selling and distribution expenses increased by 8% to approximately $2.2 million, compared with $2.0 million in the third quarter of 2021. While selling and distribution expenses have historically been lower than R&D expenses, Profound continues to expect that, in the future, selling and distribution expenses will exceed R&D expenses as the Company continues to commercialize the TULSA-PRO® system in the United States.

Primarily due to a higher foreign exchange gain, net finance income for the three months ended September 30, 2022 was approximately $3.3 million, compared with approximately $1.7 million in the three months ended September 30, 2021.

Third quarter 2022 net loss was approximately $5.0 million, or $0.24 per common share, compared to approximately $6.0 million, or $0.29 per common share, in the three months ended September 30, 2021.

Liquidity and Outstanding Share Capital

As at September 30, 2022, Profound had cash of approximately $46.2 million. The Company noted that this did not include any of the proceeds from the C$10.0 million 2022 CIBC Term Loan, which closed subsequent to quarter end.

As at November 3, 2022, Profound had 20,876,027 common shares issued and outstanding.

About Profound Medical Corp.

Profound is a commercial-stage medical device company that develops and markets customizable, incision-free therapies for the ablation of diseased tissue.

Profound is commercializing TULSA-PRO®, a technology that combines real-time MRI, robotically-driven transurethral ultrasound and closed-loop temperature feedback control. TULSA-PRO® is designed to provide customizable and predictable radiation-free ablation of a surgeon-defined prostate volume while actively protecting the urethra and rectum to help preserve the patient’s natural functional abilities. TULSA-PRO® has the potential to be a flexible technology in customizable prostate ablation, including intermediate stage cancer, localized radio-recurrent cancer, retention and hematuria palliation in locally advanced prostate cancer, and the transition zone in large volume benign prostatic hyperplasia (“BPH”). TULSA-PRO® is CE marked, Health Canada approved, and 510(k) cleared by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”).

Profound is also commercializing Sonalleve®, an innovative therapeutic platform that is CE marked for the treatment of uterine fibroids and palliative pain treatment of bone metastases. Sonalleve® has also been approved by the China National Medical Products Administration for the non-invasive treatment of uterine fibroids and has FDA approval under a Humanitarian Device Exemption for the treatment of osteoid osteoma. The Company is in the early stages of exploring additional potential treatment markets for Sonalleve® where the technology has been shown to have clinical application, such as non-invasive ablation of abdominal cancers and hyperthermia for cancer therapy.
