SAN FRANCISCO, May 02, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- iRhythm Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ:IRTC), a leading digital health care solutions company focused on the advancement of cardiac care, today reported financial results for the three months ending March 31, 2018.
First Quarter 2018 Highlights
2018 is off to a great start with strong first quarter revenue growth and increased gross margins, said Kevin King, CEO. Our track record of growing revenue within new and existing accounts continued into the first quarter, and the exceptional progress in salesforce hiring will strengthen our ability to meet the increasing demand for Zio XT and Zio AT. We believe the one-year readout of the mSToPS study is an important indicator of the benefit of testing for atrial fibrillation in high risk asymptomatic populations and points to a large future market expansion opportunity.
Effective January 1, 2018, the company adopted a new revenue recognition standard ("ASC 606"), which primarily impacted the company’s recognition of revenue related to patient claims paid by third-party commercial and governmental payors. The company adopted ASC 606 using the modified retrospective method, which means that the total amount of revenue reported for first quarter 2017 has not been restated in the current financial statements. In the interest of comparability during the transition year, the company has provided revenue, gross margin, operating expenses and net loss information for the first quarter 2017 on a non-GAAP, pro-forma basis as if ASC 606 had been applied in addition to as originally reported in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (2017 GAAP).
First Quarter Financial Results
Guidance for Full Year 2018
iRhythm projects revenue for the full year 2018 to range from $128.5 to $133.5 million, inclusive of ASC 606, which represents 36-41% growth over the company’s prior year, as adjusted and presented on a non-GAAP basis to show the effects of ASC 606. Gross margins for the full year 2018 are expected to range from 71.5% to 72.5% and operating expenses for the full year 2018 to be between $127 and $132 million. This compares to previous revenue guidance of $126 to $131 million, inclusive of ASC 606; gross margins of 70% to 72% and operating expenses of $124 to $129 million.

Reconciliation between GAAP and Non-GAAP Financial Measures
(Unaudited)
(In thousands)
The adoption of ASC 606 resulted in a change to net revenue primarily due to the recognition of bad debt expense related to the patient responsibility of both contracted and non-contracted claims as a reduction of gross revenue rather than as a component of selling, general and administrative and, to a lesser extent, due to timing differences in its recognition of revenue related to non-contracted third-party payor claims as a result of changing from recognition based on the earlier of notification of the payor benefits allowed or when payment is received to the accrual basis based on historical experience. The tables below presents a summary of the cumulative change of ASC 606 and includes the impact to the quarterly results for 2017.

In this release, the company refers to non-GAAP 2017 ASC 606 Revenue, non-GAAP 2017 ASC 606 Gross Margin, non-GAAP 2017 ASC 606 operating expense and non-GAAP 2017 ASC 606 Net Income. Effective January 1, 2018, the company adopted ASC 606 using the modified retrospective method, which means that the total amount of revenue reported from first quarter 2017 has not been restated in the current financial statements. The company has provided comparable information on revenue, gross profit and margin, operating expenses and net income in accordance with ASC 606 to allow investors comparability to the prior year results. However, for periods beginning before the adoption date of ASC 606, those adjusted financial measures are considered not to be calculated in accordance with GAAP and are thus presented as non-GAAP financial metrics.
The company believes this additional information is vital during the transition year to allow readers of its financial statements to compare financial results from the preceding financial year given the absence of restatement of the prior period. The company’s non-GAAP financial measures should be considered an addition to, not as a substitute for, nor superior to or in isolation from, measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.
The table below presents reconciliations of non-GAAP 2017 ASC 606 revenue to 2017 GAAP revenue, non-GAAP 2017 ASC 606 gross profit to 2017 GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP 2017 ASC 606 operating expenses to 2017 GAAP operating expenses and non-GAAP 2017 ASC 606 net income to 2017 GAAP net income, in each case from the first quarter and the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure in the case of each respective metric.
