Silk Road Medical Reports Second Quarter 2019 Financial Results and Raises 2019 Outlook

SUNNYVALE, Calif., July 29, 2019 (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 ended June 30, 2019.

Recent Highlights

  • Revenue of $14.9 million for the second quarter of 2019, representing a 92% increase over the second quarter of 2018
  • Results from ROADSTER 2 study demonstrated compelling safety profile with 30-day rates of stroke and combined stroke and death of 0.6% and 0.8%, respectively
  • Updated results from the TCAR Surveillance Project demonstrated, for the first time, significantly lower odds of composite in-hospital stroke, death and myocardial infarction for TCAR compared to carotid endarterectomy (CEA), the current standard of care

“Our second quarter results demonstrate strong performance as we expand our footprint with TCAR to reduce the risk of stroke and its devastating impact,” said Erica Rogers, Chief Executive Officer. “The recently presented data from ROADSTER-2, taken together with the updated results from the TCAR Surveillance Project, mark a major milestone in our journey demonstrating successful patient outcomes. We are challenging the standard of care with mounting clinical evidence in support of TCAR.”

Second Quarter 2019 Financial Results 
Revenue for the second quarter of 2019 was $14.9 million, an increase of $7.2 million or 92%, compared to the second quarter of 2018. The increase was driven primarily by growing adoption of the TCAR procedure across an expanded base of hospital accounts, trained physicians, and active sales territories.

Gross profit for the second quarter of 2019 was $11.2 million compared to $5.4 million for the second quarter of 2018. Gross margin for the second quarter of 2019 increased to 75% compared to 69% in the second quarter of 2018, driven primarily by leveraging manufacturing overhead costs across higher revenue, as well as manufacturing efficiencies and the delayed timing of certain manufacturing engineering projects.

Operating expenses were $17.2 million for the second quarter of 2019, as compared to $10.1 million in the corresponding prior year period, which represents an increase of 70%. 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 of being a public company.

Net loss was $12.0 million in the second quarter of 2019, or a loss of $0.42 per share, as compared to $7.7 million, or a loss of $8.16 per share, in the corresponding period of the prior year. This metric for the second quarter of 2019 and 2018 included a $5.3 and $1.9 million noncash charge, respectively, resulting from the remeasurement of the fair value of our convertible preferred stock warrant liability at each balance sheet date.  We continued to record adjustments to the estimated fair value of the convertible preferred stock warrants until they were exercised in connection with our IPO in April 2019. 

Cash and cash equivalents were $118.2 million as of June 30, 2019.

2019 Financial Guidance
Silk Road Medical projects revenue for the full year 2019 to range from $60 million to $62 million, which represents 74% to 79% growth over the company’s prior year revenue. This compares to previous revenue guidance of $59 million to $61 million.
