Read MoreHide Full Article

Revenues in Detail
ShockWave Medical registered revenues of $55.9 million in the second quarter, skyrocketing 443.5% year over year. The figure surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 28.1%.
The year-over-year top-line surge was driven by the launch of the coronary product — Shockwave C2 — in the United States in February, increased adoption of Shockwave products and continued recovery from the pandemic-led impacts.
Sequentially, revenues improved 75%.

Research and development expenses went up 45.8% year over year to $11.8 million while general and administrative expenses went up 59.8% year over year to $8.6 million.

Financial Position
ShockWave Medical exited the second quarter of 2021 with cash and cash equivalents, and short-term investments of $174.7 million compared with $177.4 million at the end of the first quarter.
2021 Guidance
ShockWave Medical, boosted by its strong performances, raised its 2021 outlook.
For 2021, the company expects revenues to be in the range of $218-$223 million, representing 222-229% growth from comparable figure in 2020. This is significantly up from the earlier-provided full-year revenue outlook of $195-$205 million, representing 188-202% growth from comparable figure in 2020.
Our Take
ShockWave Medical ended the second quarter of 2021 with better-than-expected results. The year-over-year narrower loss per share and the stupendous surge in the overall top line are impressive. The company’s strength in its product revenues, along with robust geographical performances, is encouraging as well. Strong product adoption and continued business recovery from the pandemic-led impacts buoy our optimism.
The company received approval for a Transitional Pass-Through payment for Shockwave C2 Coronary IVL device as well as New Technology Add-On Payment for coronary IVL, which are also encouraging. Gross margin expansion also bodes well for the company. An upbeat full-year revenue outlook is another positive.
However, ShockWave Medical’s continued operating loss is concerning. The company’s dependence on third-party suppliers and its limited commercial manufacturing experience are other headwinds.
