Silk Road Medical Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2022 Financial Results and

Provides 2023 Financial Outlook



SUNNYVALE, Calif., Feb. 28, 2023 (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, 2022.



“Our fourth quarter closes the books on a remarkable year for Silk Road Medical,” said Erica Rogers, President and Chief Executive Officer. “We are well positioned to drive strong growth and category leadership while building upon the operating leverage we began to see in 2022.”



Fourth Quarter 2022 Financial Results
Revenue for the fourth quarter of 2022 was $40.1 million, an increase of $11.8 million or 42%, compared to the fourth quarter of 2021. Growth was driven primarily by increased TCAR adoption.



Gross profit for the fourth quarter of 2022 was $29.1 million compared to $21.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2021. Gross margin for the fourth quarter of 2022 declined to 73% compared to 74% for the fourth quarter of 2021, due to higher manufacturing costs associated with labor and materials and maintaining two manufacturing facilities.



Operating expenses were $41.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2022, compared to $35.1 million in the comparable prior year period, which represents an increase of 19% compared to the fourth quarter of 2021.  The increase was primarily driven by increased headcount in the company’s commercial and R&D organizations, along with continued investments in new and ongoing R&D programs.



Net loss was $12.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2022, or a loss of $0.34 per share, as compared to a loss of $14.7 million, or $0.42 per share, in the corresponding period of the prior year.



Full Year 2022 Financial Results
Revenue for the full year 2022 was $138.6 million, an increase of $37.2 million or 37%, compared to 2021. The increase was driven primarily by increased TCAR adoption.



Gross profit for the full year 2022 was $100.8 million compared to $76.0 million for 2021. Gross margin for the full year 2022 decreased to 73% compared to 75% in 2021. The decrease in gross margin was driven primarily by increased manufacturing and overhead costs associated with bringing online a second manufacturing facility, as well as unfavorable production variances due to impacts from COVID-19 in the first quarter of 2022.



Operating expenses were $152.8 million for the full year 2022, compared to $123.5 million in the corresponding prior year period, which represents an increase of 24%. The increase was primarily driven by new and ongoing R&D programs, growth in personnel and continued commercialization initiatives, as well as the resumption of travel, tradeshow, and other expenses.



Net loss was $55.0 million in the full year 2022, or a loss of $1.54 per share, as compared to a loss of $49.8 million, or $1.44 per share, in the prior year.



Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments were $213.7 million as of December 31, 2022.
