Axonics Reports Second Quarter 2024 Financial Results

Generated record revenue, gross margin and net income in 2Q24

IRVINE, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Axonics, Inc. (Nasdaq: AXNX), a medical technology company that develops, manufactures and commercializes innovative and minimally invasive products to treat bladder and bowel dysfunction, today reported financial results for the three months ended June 30, 2024.


“Axonics continued to execute at a high level in the second quarter, generating record revenue and setting new high-water marks for gross margin and adjusted EBITDA margin,” said Raymond W. Cohen, chief executive officer. “Revenue growth of 23% year over year was driven by higher utilization at existing customers and the onboarding of new accounts. Axonics also generated record net income in the second quarter, a result of gross margin expansion from higher manufacturing yields and continued operating leverage.”

Mr. Cohen continued, “We remain confident that our commitment to innovation, quality, direct-to-consumer advertising and providing strong clinical support will continue to expand the sacral neuromodulation market and propel Axonics on its path to market leadership. We look forward to the global impact the Axonics portfolio of life-changing incontinence therapies can make as part of Boston Scientific as we endeavor to treat more patients than ever before.”

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement Axonics’ consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), Axonics provides certain non-GAAP financial measures in this release as supplemental financial metrics.

Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as net loss before other income/expense (including interest), income tax expense (benefit), depreciation and amortization expense, stock-based compensation expense, acquisition-related costs, cash compensation in lieu of equity compensation due to pending merger, acquired in-process research and development expense, loss on disposal of property and equipment, and expense related to impairment of intangible assets. Management believes that in order to properly understand short-term and long-term financial trends, investors may want to consider the impact of these excluded items in addition to GAAP measures. The excluded items vary in frequency and/or impact on our results of operations and management believes that the excluded items are typically not reflective of our ongoing core business operations and financial condition. Further, management uses adjusted EBITDA for both strategic and annual operating planning. A reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA reported in this release to the most comparable GAAP measure for the respective periods appears in the table captioned “Reconciliation of GAAP Net Loss to Adjusted EBITDA” later in this release.

The non-GAAP financial measures used by Axonics may not be the same or calculated in the same manner as those used and calculated by other companies. Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for Axonics’ financial results prepared and reported in accordance with GAAP. We urge investors to review the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures included in this press release, and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business.
