ALISO VIEJO, Calif., April 02, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- (NASDAQ: RXST) – RxSight, Inc., an ophthalmic medical device company dedicated to providing high-quality customized vision to patients following cataract surgery, today announced select preliminary revenue results for the first quarter 2025 and revised full-year 2025 guidance. The Company will host a conference call on Thursday, April 3, 2025, at 8:00 a.m. Eastern Time.
Preliminary First Quarter 2025 Results
Preliminary first quarter 2025 revenue is expected to be approximately $37.9 million, representing growth of 28% compared to the prior year period, and a decrease of 6% compared to the fourth quarter of 2024, driven by:
The sale of 27,579 Light Adjustable Lenses (LAL™/LAL+®); representing a 36% increase in procedure volume compared to the first quarter of 2024; and
The sale of 73 Light Delivery Devices (LDD™s), bringing the installed base to 1,044 LDDs as of March 31, 2025, which represents a 43% expansion compared to the installed base of 732 LDDs at end of the first quarter of 2024.
“Given RxSight’s more significant installed base of surgeons and practices, we now must navigate headwinds affecting the overall premium IOL market and broader economy that were less impactful when our commercial footprint was much smaller,” said Dr. Ron Kurtz, Chief Executive Officer and President of RxSight. “Despite these dynamics, that particularly affected LAL procedures, we continued to make progress in the quarter by further expanding our installed base to 1,044 LDDs. To address current market conditions, as well as our long-term opportunity to transform the practice of premium cataract surgery, we will continue to refine our clinical education and practice adoption programs, support new customer business models, drive innovative product enhancements and advance international expansion.”
Revised 2025 Guidance
The company decreased its 2025 full-year revenue and operating expense guidance as follows:
Revenue in the range of $160.0 million to $175.0 million, a decrease from the previous guidance range of $185.0 million to $197.0 million, representing implied growth of 14% to 25% compared to 2024;
Operating expenses in the range of $150.0 to $160.0 million, a decrease from the previous guidance range of $165.0 million to $170.0 million and now representing an implied increase of 10% to 18% compared to 2024;
Operating expenses also include non-cash stock-based compensation expense, which is now projected to be in the range of $27.0 million to $30.0 million, compared to the previous range of $22.0 million to $25.0 million.
The foregoing financial and operational results are preliminary estimates and complete, unaudited financial results for the first quarter of 2025 are expected to be announced on Wednesday, May 7, 2025.
