SUNNYVALE, Calif., Feb. 26, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Silk Road Medical, Inc. (Nasdaq: SILK), a company focused on reducing the risk of stroke and its devastating impact, today reported financial results for the three months and full year ended December 31, 2019.

Recent Highlights

  • Revenue of $18.6 million for the fourth quarter and $63.4 million for the full year of 2019, representing 62% and 83% increases, respectively, over the corresponding periods of 2018
  • Positive results from the ongoing TransCarotid Artery Revascularization (TCAR) Surveillance Project comparing TCAR and transfemoral carotid artery stenting (TF-CAS) published in The Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA)
  • Completed over 8,400 TCAR procedures in the U.S. in 2019 growing the cumulative number of procedures performed to over 16,000 globally

“Throughout 2019, we made important headway on our key initiatives of commercial execution and clinical evidence which continued to drive TCAR interest and adoption leading to revenue growth of more than 80% in 2019,” said Erica Rogers, Chief Executive Officer of Silk Road Medical. “As we look to 2020, we expect continued adoption among physicians as well as further development on our label expansion and pipeline strategies. We have built a strong foundation to support our mission of becoming standard of care and to positively impact patient lives.”

Fourth Quarter 2019 Financial Results 
Revenue for the fourth quarter of 2019 was $18.6 million, an increase of $7.2 million or 62%, compared to the fourth quarter of 2018. The increase was driven primarily by growing adoption of TCAR across an expanded base of hospital accounts, trained physicians and sales territories.

Gross profit for the fourth quarter of 2019 was $13.9 million compared to $7.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2018. Gross margin for the fourth quarter of 2019 increased to 75% compared to 68% in the fourth quarter of 2018, driven primarily by leveraging manufacturing overhead costs across a greater number of products sold and higher revenue. 

Operating expenses were $21.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2019, compared to $15.1 million in the corresponding prior year period, which represents an increase of 42%. The increase was driven primarily by selling, general and administrative expenses related to growth in our commercial team and marketing efforts as well as costs related to being a public company.

Net loss was $8.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2019, or a loss of $0.27 per share, as compared to $15.6 million, or a loss of $14.12 per share, in the corresponding period of the prior year.

Full Year 2019 Financial Results 
Revenue for the full year 2019 was $63.4 million, an increase of $28.8 million or 83%, compared to 2018. The increase was driven primarily by growing adoption of TCAR across an expanded base of hospital accounts, trained physicians, and sales territories.

Gross profit for the full year 2019 was $47.4 million compared to $23.7 million for 2018. Gross margin for full year 2019 increased to 75% compared to 69% in 2018, driven primarily by leveraging manufacturing overhead costs across a greater number of products sold and higher revenue. 

Operating expenses were $75.5 million for the full year 2019, compared to $45.1 million in 2018, which represents an increase of 67%. The increase was driven primarily by selling, general and administrative expenses related to growth in our commercial team and marketing efforts as well as costs related to being a public company.

Net loss was $52.4 million for the full year 2019, or a loss of $2.28 per share, as compared to $37.6 million, or a loss of $39.16 per share, in 2018.

Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments were $90.7 million as of December 31, 2019.
