Insights

Financial Analyst

Profound Medical's Q4 2024 results demonstrate substantial revenue growth of 108% year-over-year, reaching $4.2 million compared to $2.0 million in Q4 2023. Full-year 2024 revenue reached $10.7 million, up from $7.2 million in 2023. The revenue mix shows increasing commercial traction with $2.7 million from recurring sources (consumables, equipment leases, warranties) and $1.5 million from one-time capital equipment sales in Q4.

Despite this growth, operating expenses increased to $11.3 million in Q4 (15% higher year-over-year) and $40.1 million for the full year (21% higher than 2023). The quarterly net loss improved significantly to $4.9 million ($0.20 per share), a 45% reduction from Q4 2023's $8.9 million loss.

The company maintains a solid cash position of $54.9 million, important given the continued operational losses. The amended CIBC credit facility provides additional flexibility, replacing the previous debt with a revolving line of credit that could potentially expand to $15 million.

Concerning is the disclosure of accounting errors requiring restatement of 2024 interim financial statements, with $472,000 in overstated revenue from Q1 2024. This raises questions about internal controls and financial reporting processes.

The company's transition from a primarily patient-pay model to securing unique reimbursement status for its TULSA procedure represents a significant potential inflection point, which management identifies as the foundation for "anticipated escalating growth."

Medical Technology Specialist

Profound's TULSA-PRO technology continues showing versatility in treating prostate conditions, with the company reporting detailed procedure data that demonstrates broad clinical application across various patient types:

• 61% of patients treated for prostate cancer only
• 28% for hybrid cases (both cancer and BPH)
• 10% for salvage treatments
• 1% for BPH only

The technology's flexibility is further evidenced by its application across different cancer grades (from GG1 to GG5) and prostate sizes (from under 20cc to over 100cc). This versatility positions TULSA-PRO as a potential platform technology rather than a niche solution.

The company's product development continues with the introduction of the 'UA Alignment Assistant' TULSA-AI module, which streamlines the procedure by eliminating steps and reducing complexity for practitioners – important factors for driving adoption of new medical technologies.

The completion of patient enrollment in the Level 1 CAPTAIN trial comparing TULSA to radical prostatectomy represents a critical milestone. The upcoming presentation of perioperative data at the American Urological Association meeting in April 2025 could significantly impact clinical perception and adoption of the technology if outcomes are favorable.

The announced non-exclusive collaboration with Siemens Healthineers is particularly noteworthy, as it connects Profound's technology with a global leader in medical imaging and could substantially expand access to the TULSA procedure through Siemens' extensive installed base and distribution channels.

TORONTO, March 06, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Profound Medical Corp. (NASDAQ:PROF; TSX:PRN) (“Profound” or the “Company”), a commercial-stage medical device company that develops and markets customizable, incision-free therapies for the ablation of diseased tissue, today reported unaudited financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2024. Unless specified otherwise, all amounts in this press release are expressed in U.S. dollars and are presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP).  

Business Highlights

• Q4-2024 revenue growth of 108% over Q4-2023.
• During the fourth quarter, Profound made two key executive changes to further support growth; Mathieu Burtnyk, PhD, was promoted to President and Tom Tamberrino was appointed as Profound’s new Chief Commercial Officer.
• Profound also announced it had entered into non-exclusive collaboration with Siemens Healthineers designed to further expand physician and patient access to the TULSA procedure.
• In November 2024, Profound unveiled its next TULSA-AI^® module, ‘UA Alignment Assistant’, which removes a whole procedural step from TULSA, resulting in less mental charge, fewer steps to remember, and overall procedural simplification for users.
• Profound continued to see a wide variety of prostate disease patients treated by its TULSA-PRO^® customers in the fourth quarter of 2024:
  • 61% were treated for prostate cancer only, 28% were hybrid patients suffering from both prostate cancer and benign prostatic hyperplasia (“BPH”), 10% were salvage, and 1% were men with BPH only;
  • For cancer grade, 12% were GG1, 54% were GG2, 23% were GG3, and 11% were GG4 & GG5;
  • In terms of ablation, 53% were whole gland; 25% were sub-total but more than half the gland; and 22% were hemi-ablations or focal therapy; and
  • For prostate size, 5% were < 20cc;   40% were 20 – 40cc;   35% were 40-60cc; 15% were 60-100cc; and 5% were over 100cc.
• The Level 1 CAPTAIN (A Comparison of TULSA Procedure vs. Radical Prostatectomy in Participants with Localized Prostate Cancer) trial has completed patient enrollment and Profound expects to release available perioperative data from the trial during the upcoming American Urological Association’s (AUA) 2025 annual meeting (April 26-29, 2025).

“2024 marked the final year in which we were operating in a primarily patient-pay environment for TULSA,” said Arun Menawat, Profound’s CEO and Chairman. “Moving forward, with the TULSA procedure now being uniquely reimbursed both at Urology APC Level 7 and at an unrivalled number of treatment settings, and with initial data readouts from our CAPTAIN clinical trial coming this year, starting at AUA in April, we believe that we are entering into a stage of anticipated escalating growth.”

Summary Fourth Quarter 2024 Results

For the quarter ended December 31, 2024, Profound recorded revenue of approximately $4.2 million, with $2.7 million from recurring - non-capital revenue, which consists of the sale of TULSA-PRO^® consumables, lease of capital equipment and services associated with extended warranties, and $1.5 million from one-time sale of capital equipment. Fourth quarter 2024 revenue increased 108% from $2.0 million in the same three-month period a year ago.

Total operating expenses in the fourth quarter of 2024 were $11.3 million, compared with $9.8 million in the prior year period. The increase in operating expenses was primarily due to expenses to expand the commercial organization with increased headcount, increased variable compensation expense, increased travel costs and accelerated research and development investments.

Fourth quarter 2024 net loss was approximately $4.9 million, or $0.20 per common share, a 45% improvement compared to approximately $8.9 million, or $0.42 per common share, in the three months ended December 31, 2023.

Summary Full Year 2024 Results

For the year ended December 31, 2024, Profound recorded revenue of approximately $10.7 million, with $8.2 million from recurring revenue and $2.5 million from the one-time sale of capital equipment. This compares to revenue of approximately $7.2 million in the year ended December 31, 2023, with $6.8 million from recurring revenue and $393,000 from the one-time sale of capital equipment.

Profound’s full year 2024 total operating expenses were approximately $40.1 million, compared to approximately $33.0 million in 2023. The increase in operating expenses was primarily due to increased headcount, increased enrolment for the CAPTAIN trial and recruitment efforts, higher material expenditures for R&D initiatives, release of commercial segments and marketing advertisement campaigns, increased travel for conferences and costs associated with hosting Profound’s educational event, PRO-Talk Live!, in September 2024.

Profound recorded a net loss for the year ended December 31, 2024 of approximately $27.8 million, or $1.12 per common share, compared to approximately $28.3 million, or $1.34 per common share, for the year ended December 31, 2023.

2024 Financial Statements

In conjunction with the Company’s transition to U.S. GAAP, the Audit Committee of Profound’s Board of Directors (the "Audit Committee"), after discussion with Profound’s auditors, has identified an error which overstated revenue by $472,000 in the first quarter of 2024. The corrected financial information also increases the U.S. GAAP net loss before tax and net loss attributed to shareholders by $386,000. The unaudited financial results for fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 reported herein reflect the corrected financial information.

In light of the above Audit Committee review findings to date, Profound determined, on the Audit Committee's recommendation and after consultation with its independent auditors, that Profound’s previously issued 2024 Interim Financial Statements, each prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as filed on SEDAR+, and furnished to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on Form 6-K, will be restated and reissued and should no longer be relied upon. Similarly, any previously filed or furnished reports, related earnings releases, related management's discussion and analysis, investor presentations or similar communications of Profound describing Profound’s financial results or other financial information for the quarters of 2024, and any previously issued forecast or guidance for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, should no longer be relied upon. Profound’s 2024 Interim Financial Statements will be restated to effect the revenue adjustments described above, as well as other related flow through adjustments. In addition, the 2024 Interim Financial Statements will be refiled to reflect Profound’s transition from IFRS to U.S. GAAP, as required under Canadian securities legislation.  

Amendment to CIBC Credit Facility

Profound also wishes to announce that, on March 3, 2025, Profound Medical Inc. (the “Borrower”), a subsidiary of Profound, entered into an amended and restated credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”), by and among the Borrower, Profound and certain other affiliates of the Borrower, and Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce (“CIBC”), as lender.

The Credit Agreement amended the terms of the existing credit agreement between the Borrower, Profound and CIBC entered into on November 3, 2022 (the “Original CIBC Credit Agreement”) and the existing long-term debt provided under the Original CIBC Credit Agreement was repaid with proceeds from a new revolving line of credit provided by CIBC to the Borrower. The line of credit continues to bear interest at the Wall Street Journal Prime Rate subject to a floor of 6.25%. As with the Original CIBC Credit Agreement, the revolving line of credit matures on March 3, 2027 and provides an option to increase the amount of the revolving commitment by $5,000,000 within 18 months from March 3, 2025, subject to achieving a minimum trailing 12 month revenue exceeding $15,000,000. The exercise of the option would result in the size of the revolving commitment increasing from $10,000,000 to a maximum of $15,000,000. Additionally, the Credit Agreement provides that Profound may request a one-time increase in the principal amount of the revolving line of credit up to a maximum amount of $10,000,000, which is subject to the approval of CIBC in its sole discretion.

The Credit Agreement is secured by a general security agreement over the assets of Profound and its subsidiaries. Under the Credit Agreement, Profound’s unrestricted cash must at all times be greater of: (i) to the extent EBITDA is negative for such period, EBITDA for the most recent nine-month period or (ii) $7,500,000, reported on a monthly basis; and that revenue for the most recent reported trailing 12-month period must be 15% greater than recurring revenue for the same time period in the prior fiscal year, reported on a quarterly basis. The Credit Agreement contains other customary terms, including (a) representations, warranties and affirmative covenants, (b) negative covenants, including limitations on indebtedness, liens, mergers, acquisitions, asset sales, distributions and investments, in each case subject to certain baskets, thresholds and other exceptions, and (c) customary events of default and creditors’ remedies.

The foregoing description of the Credit Agreement is only a summary and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Credit Agreement, which will be filed with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

About Profound Medical Corp.

Profound is a commercial-stage medical device company that develops and markets customizable, incision-free therapies for the ablation of diseased tissue.

Profound is commercializing TULSA-PRO^®, a technology that combines real-time MRI, robotically-driven transurethral ultrasound and closed-loop temperature feedback control. The TULSA procedure, performed using the TULSA-PRO^® system, has the potential of becoming a mainstream treatment modality across the entire prostate disease spectrum; ranging from low-, intermediate-, or high-risk prostate cancer; to hybrid patients suffering from both prostate cancer and benign prostatic hyperplasia (“BPH”); to men with BPH only; and also, to patients requiring salvage therapy for radio-recurrent localized prostate cancer. TULSA employs real-time MR guidance for precision to preserve patients’ urinary continence and sexual function, while killing the targeted prostate tissue via precise sound absorption technology that gently heats it to 55-57°C. TULSA is an incision- and radiation-free “one-and-done” procedure performed in a single session that takes a few hours. Virtually all prostate shapes and sizes can be safely, effectively, and efficiently treated with TULSA. There is no bleeding associated with the procedure; no hospital stay is required; and most TULSA patients report quick recovery to their normal routine. TULSA-PRO^® is CE marked, Health Canada approved, and 510(k) cleared by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”).

Profound is also commercializing Sonalleve^®, an innovative therapeutic platform that is CE marked for the treatment of uterine fibroids and palliative pain treatment of bone metastases. Sonalleve^® has also been approved by the China National Medical Products Administration for the non-invasive treatment of uterine fibroids and has FDA approval under a Humanitarian Device Exemption for the treatment of osteoid osteoma. Profound is in the early stages of exploring additional potential treatment markets for Sonalleve^® where the technology has been shown to have clinical application, such as non-invasive ablation of abdominal cancers and hyperthermia for cancer therapy.
