WALTHAM, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Corindus Vascular Robotics, Inc. [NYSE MKT: CVRS], a leading developer of precision vascular robotics, today reported financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015.
Recent Highlights and Accomplishments
- Installed two new CorPath® systems increasing the total installed base to 34 CorPath Systems
- Revenues of $0.2 million for the third quarter of 2015, compared to $0.6 million for the same period in the prior year
- Formed a joint robotic-assisted percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) research and clinical program with the Mayo Clinic. Installed a CorPath System at the Mayo Clinic, establishing the platform for clinical and technology validation
- Received FDA clearance for the CorPath System to be used for robotic-assisted radial access PCI procedures
- Named Gary Lickovitch as Vice President of Sales and Service
- Had a strong presence at annual Transcatheter Cardiovascular Therapeutics (TCT) meeting with over 150 physicians participating in peer to peer educational symposia, abstracts, presentations and demonstrations of robotic-assisted PCI including radial access and complex cases
- Initiated marketing activities relating to preliminary investigation of the Japanese market
- Released a documentary film "Robotics Reducing the Burden of a Life in the Cath Lab" which highlights noted interventional cardiologist Dr. Vijay Iyer to show how Corindus' robotic technology may reduce the risk of further injuries
"We continue to make progress on our growth initiatives of product indication expansion and market development in these early stages of commercialization of the CorPath System. We have momentum on our initiative to collaborate with the leading cardiology centers across the country in order to continue to increase the awareness of our technology platform as evidenced by our recent collaboration with the Mayo Clinic," said David M. Handler, President and Chief Executive Officer of Corindus. "We remain focused on expanding and supporting our customers in their mission of bringing high value care to patients while protecting cath lab workers from harmful radiation and other occupational hazards."
Third Quarter 2015 Financial Results
Revenues for the third quarter of 2015 were $0.2 million compared to $0.6 million for the same period in the prior year. The decrease is due primarily to a decline in revenue from our CorPath Systems.
Gross loss for the third quarter 2015 was $0.5 million compared to $0.2 million for the third quarter of 2014. Cost of revenues for the third quarter 2015 continued to include the effect of under-utilization of production facilities, which is expected to continue for the remainder of 2015.
Research and development expenses were $2.3 million for the third quarter of 2015 compared to $1.4 million in the third quarter of 2014. The increase is primarily due to increased headcount and the purchase of prototype materials to support the development of the next generation CorPath System. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $3.9 million in the third quarter of 2015, compared to $3.8 million in the third quarter of 2014. The increase is due to incremental employee related costs resulting from the expansion of the direct sales force and increased commercial initiatives offset by a decline in general and administrative expenses versus prior period.
Cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities as of September 30, 2015 were $50.3 million.

About Corindus Vascular Robotics, Inc.
Corindus Vascular Robotics, Inc. is a global technology leader in robotic-assisted percutaneous coronary interventions (PCIs). The company's CorPath System is the first FDA-cleared medical device to bring robotic-assisted precision to PCI procedures. During the procedure, the interventional cardiologist sits at a radiation-shielded workstation to advance stents and guidewires with millimeter-by-millimeter precision. The workstation allows the physician greater control and the freedom from wearing heavy lead protective equipment that causes musculoskeletal injuries. With the CorPath System, Corindus Vascular Robotics brings robotic precision to radial and complex PCI procedures to help optimize clinical outcomes and minimize the costs associated with complications of improper stent placement with manual PCI procedures. Corindus stands behind its product with its unique $1,000 hospital credit "One Stent Program."
