Second Quarter 2022 Financial Results

Revenue for the second quarter ended June 30, 2022, was $120.7 million, a 116% increase from $55.9 million in the same period of 2021. The growth was primarily driven by the launch of the coronary product, Shockwave C2, in the U.S. in February 2021, continued recovery from the pandemic impact and increased adoption of Shockwave products.

Gross profit for the second quarter of 2022 was $104.0 million compared to $46.0 million for the second quarter of 2021. Gross margin for the second quarter of 2022 was 86%, as compared to 82% in the second quarter of 2021. The increase in gross margin was primarily driven by product mix along with continued improvement in manufacturing productivity and process efficiencies.

Total operating expenses for the second quarter of 2022 were $74.4 million, a 61% increase from $46.2 million in the second quarter of 2021. The increase was primarily driven by sales force expansion in the U.S. and higher headcount to support the growth of the business.

Net income for the second quarter of 2022 was $25.6 million, compared to a net loss of $0.4 million in the same period of 2021. Basic and diluted net income per share for the second quarter of 2022 was $0.71 and $0.68, respectively.

Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments totaled $224.9 million as of June 30, 2022.
