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 announced preliminary unaudited revenues
for the fourth quarter and full year 2024.
Profound anticipates total revenue for the
fourth quarter of 2024 to be in the approximate range of $4.1
million to $4.2 million, representing year-over-year growth of
between 105% and 110%, and sequential quarter-over-quarter growth
of between 45% and 48%. Full year 2024 total revenue is expected to
be approximately $11.1 million to $11.2 million, compared to
approximately $7.2 million in the prior year period. These figures
are preliminary and unaudited, and actual revenues may differ.
Profound is providing this information due to
planned investment community meetings to be held in connection
with, among other investor events, the 43rd Annual J.P. Morgan
Healthcare Conference (“JPM 2025”) in San Francisco, CA. Profound
is scheduled to present at JPM 2025 on Thursday, January 16th at
11:15 a.m. Pacific Time. The presentation will be broadcast live
and archived on the Company's website at www.profoundmedical.com
under "Webcasts" in the Investors section.
Profound also announced that, as of January 1,
2025, it will start reporting its financial results in accordance
with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”)
and its status in the United States transitioned to a foreign
private issuer filing via domestic forms (e.g. Forms 10-K, 10-Q,
and 8-K) with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
The Company will continue to use the United States dollar as its
presentation currency and, in Canada, will also continue to file
all required filings under its SEDAR+ profile.
“In light of the fact that 2024 marked the final
year in which we were operating in a primarily patient-pay
environment for TULSA, we were excited to see adoption of
TULSA-PRO® continue to increase,” said Arun Menawat,
Profound’s CEO and Chairman. “Now, with the strengthening of our
balance sheet via the completion of our underwritten public
offering of common shares in December, and, as of last week, the
TULSA procedure being uniquely reimbursed both at Urology APC Level
7 and at an unrivalled number of treatment settings, we believe
that we are on the cusp of entering into a stage of escalating
growth.”
Dr. Menawat continued, “We look forward to
updating investors as we progress. To that end, and recognizing
that the majority of our shareholders are U.S.-based, we believe
changing our financial reporting from IFRS to U.S. GAAP, and
starting to file on U.S. domestic forms with the SEC, will make it
easier for investors to find, access and analyse our stock
regulatory filings.”
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. The Company 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.
