IceCure Medical Reports First Quarter 2025 Financial Results

Continues to see rising interest in North America for ProSense®

Conference call to be held today at 10:00 am Eastern Time

CAESAREA, Israel, May 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- IceCure Medical Ltd. (NASDAQ:ICCM) ("IceCure", "IceCure Medical" or the "Company"), developer of minimally-invasive cryoablation technology that destroys tumors by freezing as an alternative to surgical tumor removal, today reported financial results as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2025.

IceCure delivered its proposed post market study plan (the "Plan") to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") as a requisite ahead of the FDA's marketing authorization decision for ProSense® in the treatment of early-stage low risk breast cancer when combined with adjuvant endocrine therapy for women aged 70 and over. The FDA's final marketing authorization decision is expected following review and approval of the plan by the FDA's Center for Devices and Radiological Health ("CDRH").

"During the first quarter, we continued to experience momentum in North America where ProSense® sales grew year-over-year. As this market remains a priority for IceCure, we have worked diligently over the past few weeks to prepare the requested Plan, which we delivered to the FDA in a timely manner. Upon the CDRH's review, we are optimistic about a positive outcome on marketing authorization from the FDA in early-stage low risk breast cancer for women aged 70 and over," stated IceCure Medical's CEO, Eyal Shamir. "This indication would cover a sizeable population, of approximately 46,000 women in the U.S. annually, that we believe seeks a patient-friendly minimally invasive option."

"Additionally, we believe that the recent decision by our largest investor and Board member, Mr. Li Haixiang, to provide a $2 million unsecured loan demonstrates his confidence in our technology and ability to successfully deliver a less invasive, patient-centered care option--one which we see women in other countries are already benefitting from," Shamir concluded.

In addition to the pending FDA decision described above, the Company has several other potential upcoming milestones in 2025:

• Terumo Corporation, IceCure's partner in Japan, is expected to file for regulatory approval of ProSense® for breast cancer in Japan in the second half of 2025
• A response from the regulatory authorities in Israel is expected for the next-generation XSense™
• Additional third-party data on ProSense® are expected to be published in medical journals and presented at prestigious medical conferences

Key Q1 2025 and Recent ProSense® Developments Demonstrate Continued Medical and Commercial Traction Globally Including:

• Strong reception at the American Breast Surgeons Annual Conference (ASBrS) 2025 included IceCure's ICE3 study being named as one of the "Best Papers of 2024" and cryoablation being mentioned favorably during the Presidential Address
• Award winning independent study of ProSense® in breast cancer and hands-on training for breast cryoablation at the Society of Interventional Oncology in Las Vegas
• Publication in Gland Surgery of independent study in Japan reported significantly higher satisfaction among patients who underwent ProSense® cryoablation compared to patients who underwent standard of care surgery
• ProSense® cryoablation featured in six studies presented at the St. Gallen International Breast Cancer Conference in Vienna, Austria
• ICESECRET kidney cancer cryoablation study's interim results demonstrating 88.7% recurrence-free rate presented at the European Association of Urology Conference in Madrid, Spain
• ProSense® featured in 7 key events at the European Conference on Interventional Oncology 2025 in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, including three presentations and a hands-on training
• Two sold-out breast cryoablation courses featured hands-on training with ProSense® at the Society of Breast Imaging 2025 Breast Imaging Symposium in Colorado Spring, Colorado

Financial Results for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2025

Revenue representing sales of ProSense® systems and disposable probes for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was $725,000 compared to $743,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The 2% decrease in sales was primarily due to a decline in sales in Asia, offset by an increase in sales in Europe and North America. Gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was $218,000 compared to $269,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2024. Gross margin was 30% in the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to 36% in the three months ended March 31, 2024. The decrease in gross profit and gross margin was attributable to the slight decline in revenue and the change in product mix. GAAP and non-GAAP gross profit and gross margin results were the same for the three months ended March 31, 2025. Revenues and gross profits are expected to continue to be variable quarter-over-quarter as the Company focuses on building commercial scale sales. The Company does not expect a material change in its revenues before receiving FDA marketing authorization decision.

Research and development expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2025 decreased by 15% to $1,664,000 compared to $1,951,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The decrease was primarily due to a reduction in development expenses for the XSense™ System, which received FDA authorization in June 2024, and a decrease in clinical and regulatory costs as the Company concluded the ICE3 study in March 2024. Sales and marketing expenses increased for the three months ended March 31, 2025 by 24% to $1,289,000 compared to $1,038,000 for three months ended March 31, 2024 as the Company focused on increased global marketing to support growing sales and in anticipation of potential marketing authorization for ProSense® in early-stage breast cancer in the U.S. General and administrative expenses for three months ended March 31, 2025 were $922,000 down slightly from $930,000 for three months ended March 31, 2024.

Total operating expense for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was $3,875,000, relatively the same as $3,919,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2024.

Net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2025 narrowed by 0.6% to $3,588,000, or $0.06 per share, compared to a net loss of $3,609,000, or $0.08 per share, for the same period last year.

As of March 31, 2025, the Company had cash and cash equivalents, including short-term deposits, of approximately $6.04 million. As of May 27, 2025, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $6.2 million, which includes a $2 million unsecured bridge loan from Epoch Partner Investments Limited ("Epoch"), the Company's largest shareholder (the "Loan"). The Loan bears an interest rate equal to a 12-month U.S. Treasury bond on May 17, 2025, to be repaid at the earlier of May 17, 2026 or when the Company raises money in an equity transaction in which Epoch participates, other than through an at-the-market facility and/or an equity line. Between January 13, 2025 and May 27, 2025, the Company raised $2.65 million in net proceeds from the sale of 2,124,429 ordinary shares under its at-the-market offering facility.
