ALISO VIEJO, Calif., Feb. 28, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — RxSight, Inc., an ophthalmic medical device company dedicated to providing high-quality customized vision to patients following cataract surgery, today reported financial results for the three months and full year ended December 31, 2023.
Key Quarterly and Full Year Highlights
- Recognized fourth quarter 2023 revenue of $28.6 million, an increase of 78% compared to the fourth quarter of 2022, reflecting:
- The sale of 77 Light Delivery Devices (LDD™s), representing a 35% unit increase from the fourth quarter of 2022, expanding the installed base to 666 LDDs at the end of the quarter, a 67% increase compared to the 400-unit LDD installed base at the end of the fourth quarter of 2022; and
- The sale of 18,071 Light Adjustable Lenses (LAL®s), representing a 98% increase in procedure volumes compared to the fourth quarter of 2022.
- Recognized full-year 2023 revenue of $89.1 million, representing growth of 82% compared to 2022, driven by unit sales of 266 LDDs and 54,873 LALs, representing increases of 36% and 117%, respectively, compared to 2022.
“We are very thankful to all our partner doctors and practices for joining with the RxSight team to consistently deliver high-quality vision across a range of distances,” said Ron Kurtz, CEO and President of RxSight. “As we step into 2024, we aim to expand our ability to optimize premium cataract surgery by unlocking the full potential of adjustable technology for patients.”
Fourth Quarter Financial Results
In the fourth quarter of 2023, total revenue was $28.6 million, an increase of 78% compared to the fourth quarter of 2022. Revenue growth was driven by a 52% increase in LDD revenue and a 98% increase in LAL revenue compared to the fourth quarter of 2022.
Gross profit for the fourth quarter of 2023 was $17.7 million or 62% of revenue, an increase of $10.2 million or 138% compared to gross profit of $7.4 million or 46% of revenue for the fourth quarter of 2022. The increase in gross profit was due to a favorable product mix from a greater percentage of revenue from LAL sales and sales of the LDD with a lower cost to manufacture and a higher average selling price.
Total operating expenses for the fourth quarter of 2023 were $28.5 million, a 27% increase from $22.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2022, reflecting the company’s ongoing investments to grow its LDD installed base and support increased LAL procedure volumes.
In the fourth quarter of 2023, the company reported a net loss of $(9.2) million, or $(0.26) per basic and diluted share, compared to a net loss of $(15.6) million, or $(0.56) per share on a basic and diluted basis in the fourth quarter of 2022. Adjusted net loss in the fourth quarter of 2023 was $(4.8) million, or $(0.13) per basic and diluted share, compared to an adjusted net loss of $(12.6) million, or $(0.45) per basic and diluted share in the fourth quarter of 2022.
Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments as of December 31, 2023, were $127.2 million.
Fiscal Year 2023 Financial Results
Full-year 2023 total revenue was $89.1 million, an increase of 82% compared to the full year of 2022. The increase in 2023 revenue was driven by a 43% increase in LDD revenue and a 117% increase in LAL revenue compared to 2022.
Gross profit for the full year of 2023 was $53.8 million, or 60% of revenue compared to gross profit of $21.3 million, or 44% of revenue for the full year of 2022. The increase in gross profit was due to a favorable product mix from a greater percentage of revenue from LAL sales and increased margins on the LDD introduced during the third quarter of 2023.
Total operating expenses for the full year of 2023 were $103.9 million, a 23% increase from $84.6 million for the full year of 2022. The increase was primarily driven by a higher headcount in sales and marketing to support the growth of the business, costs of operating as a public company and an increase of $4.1 million in non-cash stock-based compensation expense.
In 2023, net loss was $(48.6) million, or $(1.41) per share on a basic and diluted basis compared to a net loss of $(66.8) million, or $(2.41) per share on a basic and diluted basis in 2022. Adjusted net loss was $(31.1) million, or $(0.90) per share on a basic and diluted basis, in 2023, compared to an adjusted net loss of $(55.4) million, or $(2.00) per share on a basic and diluted basis in 2022.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements presented under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), we believe certain non-GAAP measures, including adjusted net loss, and adjusted net loss per share, basic and diluted, provide useful information to investors and are useful in evaluating our operating performance. For example, we exclude stock-based compensation expense and loss on extinguishment of debt because these expenses are non-cash in nature and we believe excluding these items provides meaningful supplemental information regarding our operational performance and allows investors the ability to make more meaningful comparisons between our operating results and those of other companies.
We believe that non-GAAP financial information, when taken collectively, may be helpful to investors because it provides consistency and comparability with past financial performance. However, non-GAAP financial information is presented for supplemental informational purposes only, has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with GAAP. In addition, other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate similarly titled non-GAAP measures differently or may use other measures to evaluate their performance. A reconciliation is provided below for each non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable financial measure stated in accordance with GAAP. Investors are encouraged to review the related GAAP financial measures and the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business.
Adjusted Net Loss and Adjusted Net Loss Per Share
Adjusted net loss is a non-GAAP financial measure that we define as net loss adjusted for (i) stock-based compensation and (ii) loss on extinguishment of term loan. We believe adjusted net loss provides investors with useful information on period-to-period performance as evaluated by management and comparison with our past financial performance and is useful in evaluating our operating performance compared to that of other companies in our industry, as this metric generally eliminates the effects of certain items that may vary from company to company for reasons unrelated to overall operating performance.
Reconciliations of net loss to adjusted net loss and the presentation of adjusted net loss per share, basic and diluted, are as follows:
