REDWOOD CITY, Calif., Nov. 10, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Pulmonx Corporation (Nasdaq: LUNG) (Pulmonx), a commercial-stage medical technology company that provides minimally invasive treatment for patients with severe emphysema, a form of COPD, today reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2020.

Third Quarter 2020 & Recent Highlights

-- Reported revenue of $10.6 million in the third quarter of 2020, a 17% increase over the same period last year -- Achieved gross margin of 70.3%, relatively flat compared to the third quarter of 2019 -- Completed an initial public offering of 11.5 million shares, raising approximately $201.4 million in net proceeds to the Company -- Secured a positive coverage decision for Zephyr Valve from Health Care Service Corporation, adding 16 million additional lives under coverage

In the third quarter we saw a recovery of our business as procedure volumes rebounded from second quarter lows, despite ongoing pandemic related headwinds, and as awareness and demand for our platform solution increased meaningfully, said Glen French, President & Chief Executive Officer. Following our initial public offering in October, we are well positioned financially and operationally to focus on driving further commercial momentum as we take the next steps in building on our position as a global leader in minimally invasive treatments for lung disease.

Third Quarter 2020 Financial ResultsTotal worldwide revenue for the third quarter 2020 was $10.6 million, a 17% increase from $9.1 million in the third quarter of 2019 and an increase of 15% on a constant currency basis. U.S. revenue was $5.3 million, a 57% increase compared to the third quarter 2019. International revenue was $5.3 million, an 8% decrease compared to the third quarter 2019, and an 11% decrease on a constant currency basis. The increase in U.S. revenue was driven by increasing commercial traction from the launch of Zephyr Valve while the decrease in international revenue was due to the impact of the COVID pandemic on our business.

Gross profit for the third quarter of 2020 was $7.5 million, compared to $6.4 million for the third quarter 2019. Gross margin for the third quarter of 2020 was 70.3%, relatively flat compared to 70.4% for the same period in 2019.

Operating expenses for the third quarter of 2020 were $12.8 million, compared to $10.0 million for the third quarter of 2019, representing an increase of 28%. The increase in operating expenses were primarily driven by an increase in personnel-related expenses to expand our commercial and research and development functions, as well as expenses related to building out our general and administrative infrastructure and support staff.

Net loss for the third quarter of 2020 was $3.9 million, or $1.37 per share, compared to a net loss of $4.3 million, or $2.41 per share, for the same period in 2019. Net loss included a non-cash gain of $2.5 million from changes in the fair value of derivative liabilities associated with outstanding convertible debt and a success fee.

Cash and cash equivalents were $39.8 million as of September 30, 2020. This excludes net cash proceeds of $201.4 million from the Companys initial public offering completed in October 2020.

2020 Financial OutlookWhile the COVID-19 pandemic poses a continued risk of uncertainty to the Companys operating results, Pulmonx expects full year 2020 revenue to be in the range of $31.5-$32.0 million.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial MeasuresPulmonx has presented constant currency percentage change in revenues, a non-GAAP financial measure, in this press release. Constant currency calculations show reported current period revenues as if the foreign exchange rates remain the same as those in effect in the comparable prior year period. Pulmonx uses results on a constant currency basis as one measure to evaluate its performance. Pulmonx calculates constant currency by calculating current-year results using foreign currency exchange rates from the applicable comparable period in the prior year. Pulmonx generally refers to such amounts calculated on a constant currency basis as excluding the impact of foreign exchange or being on a constant currency basis. Reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure to the most comparable GAAP measure is set forth in the tables below.

Pulmonx believes the presentation of results on a constant currency basis in addition to reported results helps improve investors ability to understand its operating results and evaluate its performance in comparison to prior periods. Pulmonx generally uses constant currency to facilitate management's financial and operational decision-making, including evaluation of Pulmonxs historical operating results. Non-GAAP financial measures reflect an additional way of viewing aspects of the Company's operations that, when viewed with GAAP results, may provide a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting Pulmonxs business.

This non-GAAP financial measure should be considered supplemental to, and not a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Because non-GAAP financial measures exclude the effect of items that increase or decrease the company's reported results of operations, management strongly encourages investors to review, when they become available, the Company's consolidated financial statements and publicly filed reports in their entirety. The Company's definition of non-GAAP measures may differ from similarly titled measures used by others.
