"This past year was truly transformational for iRhythm as we made significant strides to advance our mission in our core U.S. market while advancing multiple initiatives that set us up for future growth,” said Quentin Blackford, iRhythm’s President and CEO. “We realized 20% revenue growth for the full year, driven by record new account onboarding, balanced volume contributions from multiple channels, and the largest product launch in company history. We've made significant progress towards international expansion efforts with recent EU MDR CE mark approval, completed market evaluation in Switzerland, and ongoing review of our Japanese regulatory submission. Moreover, we are also realizing value from our increased focus on operational discipline, achieving more than 180-basis points of improvement in adjusted EBITDA margin for the full year 2023 compared to 2022 and setting us up for sustainable improvements on our path towards our long-range plan."

"In 2024, we expect to continue bringing our platform technology to as many patients who can benefit through continued commercial execution, product innovation, expansion into new markets, pilots in exciting new business models, and exploration into new adjacent market opportunities. As we continue to bring our Zio services to millions of patients globally and scale the business, we could not be more excited by our unique position in this fast-growing market and our ability to drive value for patients, physicians, health systems, and shareholders," concluded Mr. Blackford.

Fourth Quarter 2023 Financial Results
Revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2023, increased 17.7% to $132.5 million, from $112.6 million during the same period in 2022. The increase was primarily attributable to increases in the volume of Zio Services resulting from increased demand, partially offset by a slight decline in average selling price.

Gross profit for the fourth quarter of 2023 was $87.4 million, up from $78.7 million during the same period in 2022, while gross margins were 66.0% as compared to 69.9% during the same period in 2022. The decrease in gross margin was primarily due to increases in headcount-related costs associated with scaling our clinical operations organization as well as costs related to the commercial launch of Zio monitor.

Operating expenses for the fourth quarter of 2023 were $126.6 million, compared to $99.4 million for the same period in 2022 and $110.1 million in Q3 2023. Sequentially, the increased spend was driven by an impairment charge totaling $11.1 million, related to a reduction in the capitalized leased asset value of our San Francisco office from continued declining commercial real estate rental market conditions, as well as increases for legal, regulatory, and consulting fees.

Net loss for the fourth quarter of 2023 was $38.7 million, or a diluted loss of $1.26 per share, compared with net loss of $20.2 million, or a diluted loss of $0.67 per share, for the same period in 2022.

Full Year 2023 Financial Results
Revenue for the year ended December 31, 2023, increased 19.9% to $492.7 million, from $410.9 million in 2022. The increase in revenue was primarily due to increased volume of Zio services provided as a result of increased demand.

Gross profit for the year was $331.8 million, up from $281.6 million in 2022, while gross margin was 67.3%, a decline from 68.5% in 2022.

Operating expenses for the year were $457.0 million, an increase of 15.6% compared to 2022. The increase was mainly due to an increase in headcount-related costs to support the advancement of our product development and growth in our business.

Net loss for 2023 was $123.4 million, or a diluted loss of $4.04 per share, compared with net loss of $116.2 million, or a diluted loss of $3.88 per share in 2022.

Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments were $133.8 million as of December 31, 2023.

2024 Guidance
iRhythm projects revenue for the full year 2024 to grow to approximately $575 million to $585 million. Gross margin for the full year 2024 is expected to range from 68% to 69% and adjusted EBITDA margin for the full year 2024 is expected to range from approximately 3% to 4% of revenues.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We refer to certain financial measures that are not recognized under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in this press release, including adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net loss, adjusted net loss per share and adjusted operating expenses. We use these non-GAAP financial measures for financial and operational decision-making and as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons. See the schedules attached to this press release for additional information and reconciliations of such non-GAAP financial measures. We have not reconciled our adjusted operating expenses and adjusted EBITDA estimates for full year 2024 because certain items that impact these figures are uncertain or out of our control and cannot be reasonably predicted. Accordingly, a reconciliation of adjusted operating expenses and adjusted EBITDA estimates is not available without unreasonable effort.

Adjusted EBITDA excludes non-cash operating charges for stock-based compensation, depreciation and amortization as well as non-operating items such as interest income, interest expense, impairment and restructuring charges, and business transformation costs.

We exclude the following items from non-GAAP financial measures for adjusted net loss, adjusted net loss per share and adjusted operating expenses:

  • impairment and restructuring charges, and
  • business transformation costs to scale the organization.
