Vapotherm Updates Its Fourth Quarter and Fiscal Year 2020 Outlook

EXETER, N.H.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Vapotherm, Inc. (NYSE: VAPO), (“Vapotherm” or the “Company”), a global medical technology company focused on the development and commercialization of its proprietary Vapotherm high velocity therapy® products, which are used to treat patients of all ages suffering from respiratory distress, today announced an update to its fourth quarter and fiscal year 2020 revenue guidance given on November 4, 2020.

Fourth Quarter and Fiscal Year 2020 Outlook

For fourth quarter 2020, we now expect revenue in the range of $30.0 million to $33.0 million, which reflects an increase of $12.0 million to $13.0 million over our previously announced revenue guidance of $18.0 million to $20.0 million. This new revenue guidance implies fiscal year revenue in the range of $114.8 million to $117.8 million, an increase from our previously announced revenue guidance of $102.8 million to $104.8 million.

“The global impact of COVID has materially accelerated since we provided our fourth quarter and fiscal year 2020 revenue guidance in early November. We have seen higher capital demand worldwide and higher disposable demand in the US related to increased hospitalization rates,” said Joe Army, President and CEO of Vapotherm. “We’d like to thank all healthcare professionals around the world for their efforts, and our teammates and partners for supporting them during this pandemic.”
