InspireMD Reports First Quarter 2025 Financial Results
Management to host investor conference call today, May 9th, at 8:30am ET
MIAMI, May 09, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- InspireMD, Inc. (Nasdaq: NSPR), developer of the CGuard™ Prime carotid stent system for the treatment of carotid artery disease and prevention of stroke, today announced financial and operating results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2025.
Business Highlights:
- Continued engagement with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on the Premarket Approval (PMA) application for the CGuard Prime carotid stent system in the U.S. Optimistic for an anticipated approval in the third quarter of 2025
- Advanced commercial infrastructure and operational readiness ahead of anticipated U.S. launch
- Continued enrollment with excellent pace in the CGUARDIANS II pivotal study of the CGuard Prime carotid stent system for use during TCAR procedures
Marvin Slosman, CEO of InspireMD, commented: “In the first quarter we continued to drive commercial adoption of our technology in our served markets, while laying a strong operational and strategic foundation for upcoming transformational milestones. With a clear roadmap for commercial expansion and a disciplined focus on execution, we’ve built and trained a world-class commercial team—ready to execute at scale upon potential FDA PMA approval. We’re energized by the momentum and confident in the opportunities on the horizon.”
“We continue to work interactively with the FDA and are optimistic for an anticipated approval of CGuard Prime in the third quarter of 2025. Despite dynamics within the agency and the timing of our audit in February, we are confident the remaining items will be successfully completed. I am excited about the transformative milestones ahead as we work to bring this innovative technology to patients in the U.S. and drive the next chapter of InspireMD’s growth,” Mr. Slosman concluded.
Financial Results for the First Quarter Ended March 31, 2025
For the first quarter of 2025, total revenue increased by $18,000, or 1.2%, to $1,529,000 from $1,511,000 during the first quarter of 2024. This increase was driven by continued adoption of our CGuard technology in existing markets, offset by the impact of foreign exchange and distributors managing CGuard inventory levels in anticipation of CGuard Prime approval in Europe.
Gross profit for the first quarter of 2025 remained constant at $292,000, compared to the gross profit of the first quarter of 2024.
Total operating expenses for the first quarter of 2025 were $11,752,000, an increase of $4,046,000, or 52.5% compared to $7,706,000 for the first quarter of 2024. This increase was primarily due to higher salaries and share-based compensation tied to U.S. sales force expansion ahead of FDA approval. Additional increases stemmed from CGuard Prime launch preparation, U.S. facility rent, and CFO recruitment fees.
Financial income, net for the first quarter of 2025 was $294,000, a decrease of $88,000 or 23.0% compared to $382,000 for the first quarter of 2024. This decrease was primarily due to less interest income from investments in marketable securities and money market funds.
Net loss for the first quarter of 2025 totaled $11,166,000 or $0.22 per basic and diluted share, compared to a net loss of $7,032,000, or $0.21 per basic and diluted share, for the same period in 2024.
As of March 31, 2025, cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities were $26,086,000 compared to $34,637,000 as of December 31, 2024.
