First Quarter 2024 Financial Results
Total revenue for the first quarter of 2024 was $44.5 million, an increase of 83% compared to the prior year period. U.S. revenue was $40.2 million dollars, representing growth of 85% compared to the prior year period. The increase was primarily driven by system sales to new hospital customers and increased handpiece revenue. U.S. handpiece and consumable revenue for the first quarter of 2023 was $23.6 million, an increase of 101% compared to the prior year period. First quarter of 2024 monthly utilization per account of 6.8 increased approximately 8% compared to the prior year period. U.S. system revenue for the first quarter of 2024 was $14.2 million, an increase of 62% compared to the prior year period. As of March 31, 2024, the install base of AquaBeam Robotic Systems in the U.S. was 354 systems. International revenue was $4.3 million for the quarter, an increase of 65% compared to the prior year period.
Gross margin for the first quarter 2024 was 56% compared to 51% in the prior year period and 49% in the fourth quarter of 2023. Gross margin expansion in the first quarter was due to strong operational execution and improved overhead absorption, along with revenue overachievement.
Operating expenses in the first quarter of 2024 were $52.7 million, compared with $40.9 million in the prior year period. The increase was driven by increased sales and marketing expenses primarily to expand the commercial organization and variable compensation expense, increased research and development expenses and general and administrative expenses.
Net loss was $26.0 million for the first quarter of 2024, compared to a loss of $28.5 million in the prior year period. Adjusted EBITDA was a loss of $20.4 million for the first quarter of 2024, compared to a loss of $23.9 million in the prior year period.

About PROCEPT BioRobotics Corporation
PROCEPT BioRobotics is a surgical robotics company focused on advancing patient care by developing transformative solutions in urology. PROCEPT BioRobotics develops, manufactures and sells the AquaBeam Robotic System, an advanced, image-guided, surgical robotic system for use in minimally invasive urologic surgery with an initial focus on treating benign prostatic hyperplasia, or BPH. BPH is the most common prostate disease and impacts approximately 40 million men in the United States. PROCEPT BioRobotics designed Aquablation therapy to deliver effective, safe and durable outcomes for males suffering from lower urinary tract symptoms, or LUTS, due to BPH that are independent of prostate size and shape or surgeon experience. The Company has developed a significant and growing body of clinical evidence, which includes nine clinical studies and over 150 peer-reviewed publications, supporting the benefits and clinical advantages of Aquablation therapy.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures (Unaudited)
This press release references Adjusted EBITDA, a financial measure that is not prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP). The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as earnings before interest expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization and stock-based compensation. Non-GAAP financial measures are not a substitute for or superior to measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP.
The Company believes that presenting Adjusted EBITDA provides useful supplemental information to investors about the Company in understanding and evaluating its operating results, enhancing the overall understanding of its past performance and future prospects, and allowing for greater transparency with respect to key financial metrics used by its management in financial and operational decision making. However, there are a number of limitations related to the use of non-GAAP measures and their nearest GAAP equivalents. For example, other companies may calculate non-GAAP measures differently, or may use other measures to calculate their financial performance, and therefore any non-GAAP measures the Company uses may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.
