CVRx Reports Second Quarter 2026 Financial and Operating Results
MINNEAPOLIS, August 6, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CVRx, Inc. (NASDAQ: CVRX) ("CVRx"), a commercial-stage medical device company focused on developing, manufacturing and commercializing innovative neuromodulation solutions for patients with cardiovascular diseases, today announced its financial and operating results for the second quarter of 2026.
Recent Highlights
| · | Total revenue for the second quarter of 2026 was $15.7 million, an increase of approximately 16% over the prior year quarter |
| · | U.S. revenue for the second quarter of 2026 was $14.8 million, an increase of 21% over the prior year quarter |
| · | Active implanting centers in the U.S. grew to 258 as of June 30, 2026, as compared to 240 as of June 30, 2025 |
| · | Humana issued a Medicare Advantage coverage policy, effective May 1, 2026 for Barostim therapy, which is the first coverage policy of its kind for Barostim |
"We are pleased with the strong revenue growth and margin performance in the second quarter along with the reimbursement progress we made, including the new Medicare Advantage coverage policy from Humana. However, we are not satisfied with our updated outlook for the balance of the year, driven by fewer sales territories than anticipated, lower sales force productivity and a prolonged challenge with one of our largest payers,” said Kevin Hykes, President and Chief Executive Officer of CVRx. “We are taking direct action to address these headwinds, and our confidence in the long-term fundamentals of this business remains high, supported by strong growth observed in our most stable regions and encouraging early progress on the BENEFIT-HF trial and our broader clinical and reimbursement strategies."
Second Quarter 2026 Financial and Operating Results
Revenue was $15.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026, an increase of $2.1 million, or 16%, over the three months ended June 30, 2025.
Revenue generated in the U.S. was $14.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026, an increase of $2.5 million, or 21%, over the three months ended June 30, 2025. Revenue units in the U.S. totaled 466 and 391 for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The increases were primarily driven by continued growth in the U.S. HF business as a result of the expansion into new sales territories, new accounts, and increased physician and patient awareness of Barostim.
As of June 30, 2026, the Company had a total of 258 active implanting centers in the U.S., as compared to 240 as of June 30, 2025. Active implanting centers are customers that have completed at least one commercial HF implant in the last 12 months. As of June 30, 2026, the number of sales territories in the U.S. is 56 as compared to 47 sales territories as of June 30, 2025.
Revenue generated in Europe was $0.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026, a decrease of $0.4 million, or 31%, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025. Total revenue units in Europe decreased to 40 for the three months ended June 30, 2026, from 61 in the prior year period. The number of sales territories in Europe remained consistent at five as of June 30, 2026.
Gross profit was $13.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026, an increase of $2.3 million, or 20%, over the three months ended June 30, 2025. Gross margin was 87% and 84% for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and June 30, 2025, respectively.
R&D expenses increased $0.7 million, or 27%, to $3.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025. This change was driven by a $0.6 million increase in headcount expenses and a $0.1 million increase in clinical trial expenses.
SG&A expenses increased $0.3 million, or 1%, to $23.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025. This change was primarily driven by a $0.7 million increase in non-cash stock-based compensation expenses and a $0.5 million increase in legal expenses, partially offset by a $0.6 million decrease in advertising expenses and a $0.3 million decrease in travel expenses.
Interest expense increased $0.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025, driven by interest expense on the increased borrowings under the term loan agreement with Innovatus Capital Partners.
Other income, net was $0.6 million and $1.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. These balances consisted of interest income on our interest-bearing accounts. The decrease was primarily driven by the lower cash balance.
Net loss was $14.0 million, or $0.53 per share, for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to a net loss of $14.7 million, or $0.57 per share, for the three months ended June 30, 2025. Net loss per share was based on 26.5 million weighted average shares outstanding for three months ended June 30, 2026 and 26.1 million weighted average shares outstanding for the three months ended June 30, 2025.
As of June 30, 2026, cash and cash equivalents were $64.6 million. Net cash used in operating and investing activities was $8.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $8.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025.
Humana Medicare Advantage Coverage Policy
In May 2026, Humana issued a Medicare Advantage coverage policy for Barostim therapy, effective May 1, 2026. Humana, a national health insurance company with the second largest Medicare Advantage program in the U.S., provides coverage to approximately 5.2 million Medicare Advantage members across 46 states. The policy covers Barostim for patients meeting its current FDA-approved indication as well as patients enrolled in the BENEFIT-HF trial. This is now the third significant reimbursement development for Barostim this year, following the transition to Category I CPT codes and CMS approval of Category B IDE coverage for BENEFIT-HF patients, each of which took effect in the first quarter of 2026.
Business Outlook
For the full year of 2026, the Company now expects:
| · | Total revenue between $58.0 million and $60.0 million; |
| · | Gross margin between 86% and 87%; |
| · | Operating expenses between $99.0 million and $101.0 million. |
For the third quarter of 2026, the Company expects to report total revenue between $13.5 million and $14.5 million.
