- Gross margin of 67.9%, a 100 basis point improvement compared to first quarter 2022

“Entering 2023, we achieved significant growth in our core US business, building upon the solid momentum we had exiting the prior year,” said Quentin Blackford, iRhythm’s President and CEO. “Our teams continued to build upon the discipline and rigor introduced in the back half of last year to capture key strategic wins, driven by a continued push into primary care as well as increasing penetration into large and national accounts. The strength of the quarter was fueled by registration volumes in our Zio XT business, including another record quarter of new account openings.”
“Notably, a steady cadence of positive clinical data has continued to demonstrate Zio’s competitive differentiation in the marketplace. The CAMELOT study – the first and largest of its kind – found Zio XT monitoring is associated with the highest diagnostic yield and lowest likelihood of retesting1,2 compared to other monitoring services and strongly supports Zio’s unique value proposition to iRhythm’s customers and payers. With momentum in our core business, progress being made to capture sizable market opportunities, and significant milestones on the horizon, I couldn’t be more excited about our future at iRhythm,” concluded Mr. Blackford.
First Quarter Financial Results
Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2023 increased 20.6% to $111.4 million, from $92.4 million during the same period in 2022. The increase was driven by Zio XT and AT volume growth slightly offset by a decline in net average selling price.
Gross profit for the first quarter of 2023 was $75.7 million, up 22.5% from $61.8 million during the same period in 2022, while gross margins were 67.9%, up from 66.9% during the same period in 2022. The increase in gross profit was primarily due to increased volume and a reduction in costs per unit.
Adjusted operating expenses for the first quarter of 2023 were $109.5 million, compared to $83.4 million during the same period in 2022. This increase in adjusted operating expenses resulted primarily from increased payroll-related costs to support growth in operations. Operating expenses for the first quarter of 2023 were $115.2 million, compared to $110.3 million for the same period in 2022.
Adjusted net loss for the first quarter of 2023 was $33.4 million, or a loss of $1.10 per share, compared with an adjusted net loss of $23.7 million, or a loss of $0.80 per share, for the same period in 2022. Net loss for the first quarter of 2023 was $39.1 million, or a loss of $1.29 per share, compared with net loss of $50.6 million, or a loss of $1.71 per share, for the same period in 2022.
Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments were $176.3 million as of March 31, 2023.
2023 Annual Guidance

Gross margin for the full year 2023 is expected to range from 69% to 70% and adjusted operating expenses are expected to range between $417 and $427 million.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We refer to certain financial measures that are not recognized under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in this press release, including adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net loss, adjusted net loss per share and adjusted operating expenses. We use these non-GAAP financial measures for financial and operational decision-making and as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons. See the schedules attached to this press release for additional information and reconciliations of such non-GAAP financial measures. We have not reconciled our adjusted operating expenses and adjusted EBITDA estimates for full year 2023 because certain items that impact these figures are uncertain or out of our control and cannot be reasonably predicted. Accordingly, a reconciliation of adjusted operating expenses and adjusted EBITDA estimates is not available without unreasonable effort.
Adjusted EBITDA excludes non-cash operating charges for stock-based compensation, depreciation and amortization as well as non-operating items such as interest income, interest expense, impairment and restructuring charges, and transformation costs.
We exclude the following items from non-GAAP financial measures for adjusted net loss, adjusted net loss per share and adjusted operating expenses:
- impairment and restructuring charges, and
- transformation costs include one-time professional services and severance costs to augment and restructure the organization to use both outsourced and offshore resources.
