Silk Road Medical Reports First Quarter 2021 Financial Results



SUNNYVALE, Calif. – May 4, 2021 – 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 quarter ended March 31, 2021.



“Our first quarter results were characterized by meaningful progress on several commercial and operational initiatives and strong financial performance,” said Erica Rogers, President and Chief Executive Officer of Silk Road Medical. “Procedure trends are improving, and we are working closely with our trained physicians to drive adoption of TCAR as the environment normalizes. Simultaneously, we are driving forward development efforts aimed at new indications, therapies, and market opportunities.”



The company also announced that the FDA has approved an IDE for its feasibility study in acute ischemic stroke, Neuroprotection in Transcarotid Embolectomy (NITE-1).



First Quarter 2021 Financial Results 

Revenue for the first quarter of 2021 was $22.1 million, an increase of $3.1 million or 16%, compared to the first quarter of 2020.



Gross profit for the first quarter of 2021 was $16.5 million compared to $13.7 million for the first quarter of 2020. Gross margin for the first quarter of 2021 increased to 75% compared to 72% in the first quarter of 2020, primarily due to lower fixed costs per unit from increased production volume in comparison with prior period. Gross margin in the three months ended March 31, 2020 was impacted by unfavorable production variances as a result of temporarily idled manufacturing operations due to COVID-19.



Operating expenses were $26.7 million for the first quarter of 2021, compared to $22.8 million in the corresponding prior year period, which represents an increase of 17%. The increase was driven by growth in personnel and continued commercialization initiatives as well as the timing of certain research and development expenses, partially offset by the reduction in travel, tradeshow and other expenses due to COVID-19 compared to the first quarter of 2020.



Net loss was $10.7 million in the first quarter of 2021, or a loss of $0.31 per share, as compared to a loss of $9.9 million, or $0.32 per share, in the corresponding period of the prior year.



Cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments were $136.1 million as of March 31, 2021.



2021 Financial Guidance

Silk Road Medical projects revenue for the full year 2021 to range from $103 million to $108 million. This compares to previous revenue guidance of $102 million to $108 million.
