Fourth Quarter 2022 Financial Results
Revenue for the fourth quarter of 2022 was $23.8 million, an increase of 135% compared to the prior year period. U.S. system revenue was $10.4 million, an increase of 109% compared to the prior year period. Growth was influenced largely by strong underlying demand from high-volume BPH hospitals. As of December 31, 2022, the install base of AquaBeam Robotic Systems in the U.S. was 167 systems. U.S. handpiece and consumable revenue for the quarter was $10.4 million, an increase of 202% compared to the prior year period. International revenue was $2.0 million for the quarter, an increase of approximately 44% compared to the prior year period.
Gross margin for the fourth quarter 2022 was 45% compared to 45% in the prior year period. Gross margin in the fourth quarter of 2022 was negatively impacted by approximately $0.7 million of inventory write-offs. The inventory write-offs were related to a lower manufacturing yield on certain components in the disposable handpiece. This issue was identified early in the fourth quarter of 2022 and resolved in the first quarter of 2023.
Operating expenses in the fourth quarter of 2022 were $35.7 million, compared with $21.3 million in the prior year period. The increase was primarily driven by increased selling, general and administrative expenses to expand the sales organization, increased variable compensation expense, and increased research and development expenses.
Total interest and other expense in the fourth quarter of 2022 was $3.1 million. The Company entered into a new five-year $52-million loan agreement in October 2022. As part of the refinancing, the Company recognized loan extinguishment charges of $3.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2022.
Net loss was $28.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2022, compared to a loss of $18.3 million in the prior year period. Adjusted EBITDA was a loss of $21.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2022, compared to a loss of $14.7 million in the prior year period.
Cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2022 totaled $221.9 million, while long-term borrowings totaled $52.0 million.
Full Year 2022 Financial Results
Revenue for the full year 2022 was $75.0 million, compared to $34.5 million for the full year 2021. The growth was primarily driven by increases in U.S. revenues, attributable to system placements and increased utilization.
Gross margin for full year 2022 was 49%, compared to 46% for the full year 2021. Gross margin improvement was primarily attributable to the growth in revenues.
Operating expenses were $117.8 million for the full year 2022, compared to $70.0 million for the full year 2021, an increase of 68% driven primarily by headcount increases and public company operating costs.
Net loss was $87.2 million for the full year 2022, compared to $59.9 million for the full year 2021. Adjusted EBITDA was a loss of $68.0 million for full year 2022, compared to a loss of $47.0 million for the full year 2021.
2023 Financial Guidance
- The Company projects revenue for the full year 2023 to be approximately $125 million, which represents 67% growth over the Company’s prior year revenue.
- The Company projects full year 2023 gross margin to be approximately 53%.
- The Company projects full year 2023 total operating expense of approximately $163 million.

About PROCEPT BioRobotics Corporation
PROCEPT BioRobotics is a surgical robotics company focused on advancing patient care by developing transformative solutions in urology. PROCEPT BioRobotics develops, manufactures and sells the AquaBeam Robotic System, an advanced, image-guided, surgical robotic system for use in minimally invasive urologic surgery with an initial focus on treating benign prostatic hyperplasia, or BPH. BPH is the most common prostate disease and impacts approximately 40 million men in the United States. PROCEPT BioRobotics designed Aquablation therapy to deliver effective, safe and durable outcomes for males suffering from lower urinary tract symptoms, or LUTS, due to BPH that are independent of prostate size and shape or surgeon experience. The Company has developed a significant and growing body of clinical evidence, which includes nine clinical studies and over 100 peer-reviewed publications, supporting the benefits and clinical advantages of Aquablation therapy.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures (Unaudited)
This press release references Adjusted EBITDA, a financial measure that is not prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP). The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as earnings before interest expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization and stock-based compensation. Non-GAAP financial measures are not a substitute for or superior to measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP.
The Company believes that presenting Adjusted EBITDA provides useful supplemental information to investors about the Company in understanding and evaluating its operating results, enhancing the overall understanding of its past performance and future prospects, and allowing for greater transparency with respect to key financial metrics used by its management in financial and operational decision making. However, there are a number of limitations related to the use of non-GAAP measures and their nearest GAAP equivalents. For example, other companies may calculate non-GAAP measures differently, or may use other measures to calculate their financial performance, and therefore any non-GAAP measures the Company uses may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.
