“The progress we made during this past quarter, despite the hurdles and challenges of COVID-19, reflects the commitment and strength of our team and the uniqueness of our proprietary IVL technology,” said Doug Godshall, President and Chief Executive Officer of Shockwave Medical. “The continued interest and demand for IVL has really demonstrated how highly valued Shockwave’s technology continues to be as a safe, effective, efficient option for our customers who treat severely calcified cardiovascular disease.  All of us at Shockwave have a great deal of gratitude and respect for our partners on the provider side of the system for their dedication to patients, particularly under such challenging conditions.  We are honored to have been given an opportunity to work with so many extraordinary healthcare professionals.” 

Second Quarter 2020 Financial Results  Revenue for the second quarter of 2020 was $10.3 million, an increase of $0.3 million, or 3%, compared to the second quarter of 2019. The growth was primarily driven by a steady recovery as elective procedure volumes continued to increase in May and June following a significant reduction in April.  

Gross profit for the second quarter of 2020 was $6.7 million compared to $5.9 million for the second quarter of 2019. Gross margin for the second quarter of 2020 was 65%, as compared to 59% in the same period of last year.  Contributors to gross margin improvement included continued improvement in manufacturing productivity and process efficiencies as well as geographic mix and improved cost efficiencies.

Operating expenses were $24.7 million for the second quarter of 2020 compared to $17.1 million in the corresponding prior year period, a 44% increase from the same quarter in 2019, primarily driven by increases in headcount since the year ago period.

Net loss was $18.1 million in the second quarter of 2020, as compared to $10.6 million in the corresponding period of the prior year. Net loss per share was $0.56 in the second quarter of 2020.

Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments totaled $231.4 million as of June 30, 2020. This number includes net proceeds of $83.4 million from the follow-on financing completed in June.
