Stereotaxis Inc (STXS) announced significant milestones with FDA submissions for key catheter innovations, indicating progress in their strategic transformation. The company reported a 39% year-over-year increase in fourth-quarter revenue, totaling $6.3 million, showcasing strong financial performance. Stereotaxis Inc (STXS) received European CE mark approval for the GenesisX robot and MAGiC ablation catheter, with plans for commercial launch in Europe. The strategic acquisition of APT has enhanced Stereotaxis Inc (STXS)'s in-house catheter development and manufacturing capabilities. The company is expanding its product portfolio with the introduction of the EMAGIN vascular catheter, targeting multiple new endovascular indications. Stereotaxis Inc (STXS) faces challenges with FDA regulatory approval timelines, particularly for the MAGiC catheter in the US. The company has a system backlog of $15.2 million, indicating potential delays in revenue recognition. Recurring revenue growth is impacted by catheter shortages from Johnson & Johnson, affecting overall financial performance. Operating expenses increased due to non-cash stock compensation and acquisition-related costs, impacting profitability. The macroeconomic environment and anti-corruption campaigns in China present headwinds for commercial efforts in the region. Q: Can you provide more details on the MAGiC catheter's approval process in the US and what needs to happen for a second-half approval? A: David Fischel, Chairman and CEO, explained that they are enrolling patients in Europe to meet FDA's unmet medical need criteria. The FDA is conducting a detailed review of the PMA submission, and Stereotaxis is responding to questions and refining the submission. There might be an audit of the manufacturing facility in Germany, but it's not certain. The FDA is working collaboratively to ensure a thorough and timely review. Q: How will the MAGiC Sweep high-density mapping catheter fit into the broader ecosystem, and how might it affect your relationship with Abbott? A: David Fischel stated that the MAGiC Sweep will be used in the majority of robotic procedures, allowing physicians to perform high-density mapping robotically. This development is part of a broader strategy and has been communicated to partners like Abbott, with no concerns about its impact on existing relationships. Q: Can you clarify the system revenue guidance for 2025, given the GenesisX launch in Europe and China? A: David Fischel noted that the guidance is conservative, focusing on transitioning existing backlog into revenue. The unpredictability of sales in China and the timing of revenue recognition contribute to the cautious outlook. The guidance does not assume significant sales in China and reflects modest expectations for GenesisX. Q: What is the expected timeline for GenesisX commercial approval in the US? A: David Fischel mentioned that they are responding to FDA questions and expect GenesisX approval before the compatible catheters are approved. They anticipate having at least one compatible catheter approved in the third quarter, allowing for a commercial launch in the US. Q: What is the strategic importance of the EMAGIN vascular guidance catheter, and how do you plan to prioritize its applications? A: David Fischel emphasized that while short-term revenue expectations for EMAGIN are modest, its strategic value is substantial. The catheter will enable the robot to become a multi-specialty platform, expanding its use into neurointervention, interventional cardiology, and oncology. The focus will be on demonstrating clinical utility in these areas to expand the robot's value proposition. Q: Is there any capacity constraint related to the MAGiC catheter, and how are you addressing it? A: David Fischel confirmed that they are ramping up manufacturing in Europe and working through administrative processes with hospitals. The goal is to ensure a steady supply as they scale up sales throughout the year. Q: How frequently do you expect the MAGiC Sweep mapping catheter to be used, and what is the expected impact on catheter sales? A: David Fischel anticipates that the MAGiC Sweep will be used in a significant portion of procedures, potentially increasing the pool of robotic users. The combined sales of MAGiC and MAGiC Sweep are expected to increase disposable revenue per procedure by more than fivefold. Q: What is included in the guidance for the MAGiC launch in Europe and the US? A: David Fischel clarified that the guidance includes $3 million to $4 million related to the MAGiC launch in Europe, with no revenue from a potential US launch included due to uncertainty in approval timelines.

Stereotaxis Announces First GenesisX Robotic System Order
ST. LOUIS, Jan. 30, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Stereotaxis (NYSE: STXS), a pioneer and global leader in surgical robotics for minimally invasive endovascular intervention, today announced it has received the first order for its latest generation robotic system, GenesisX™. 'We are thrilled to announce the first firm order for GenesisX from a pioneering European hospital,' said David Fischel, Stereotaxis Chairman and CEO. 'Establishing the first GenesisX robotic lab is a critical milestone for us as we advance towards full commercial launch. We look forward to demonstrating the performance and reliability of GenesisX in the demanding clinical environment. GenesisX promises to transform the accessibility of Robotic Magnetic Navigation and is central to our mission of driving broad robotic adoption throughout endovascular surgery.' GenesisX is the latest advance in endovascular surgical robotics, building upon the established benefits of Robotic Magnetic Navigation while significantly enhancing the accessibility of the technology for healthcare providers. GenesisX utilizes smaller magnets and incorporates magnetic shielding into its structure in place of the shielding otherwise installed in the walls of the operating room. It requires no structural anchoring through the floor and operates using standard 120/230V power outlets. A single fiber is routed from each robot to the system cabinet, which is 80% smaller than previous cabinets and can fit under a table in the operating room. GenesisX is smaller and lighter than any previous generation system, while maintaining the highest standards in speed, responsiveness, and efficient workflow. GenesisX obtained CE Mark in Europe in 2024 and has been submitted to the FDA for 510(k) clearance in the United States. During 2025, Stereotaxis plans to gain regulatory approvals in Europe and the US for a portfolio of compatible EP and vascular catheters, demonstrate real-world use of GenesisX, enhance compatibility of GenesisX with various x-rays, and prepare supply chain, manufacturing, installation and commercial processes for a full launch.
