CVRx (NASDAQ:CVRX) Releases Quarterly Earnings Results, Misses Estimates By $0.04 EPS

by · The Markets Daily

CVRx (NASDAQ:CVRXGet Free Report) issued its quarterly earnings results on Thursday. The company reported ($0.46) EPS for the quarter, missing analysts’ consensus estimates of ($0.42) by ($0.04), Zacks reports. The business had revenue of $16.02 million for the quarter, compared to analyst estimates of $15.75 million. CVRx had a negative return on equity of 91.20% and a negative net margin of 94.10%.

Here are the key takeaways from CVRx’s conference call:

  • CVRx expanded its commercial footprint to 53 U.S. territories and 252 active implanting centers, emphasizing a program-selling approach that drove higher account-level utilization (top 20% of centers annualized ~19 implants), which management says should support faster top-line growth as reps mature.
  • A major reimbursement milestone — the shift to Category I CPT codes (effective Jan 1, 2026) — should reduce prior-authorization friction, improve reimbursement predictability, and has already correlated with higher Medicare Advantage approval rates in 2025.
  • CVRx initiated the landmark BENEFIT-HF randomized trial (2,500 patients, ~150 U.S. centers) with CMS Category B IDE coverage, which management says could triple the addressable market to ~980,000 patients and materially expand long-term revenue if successful; enrollment is expected to begin in Q2 2026.
  • Reported Q4 revenue was $16.0M and full-year 2025 revenue was $56.7M (+4% and +10% respectively), and management guided 2026 revenue of $63M–$67M (11%–18% growth) with Q1 2026 revenue expected at $13.7M–$14.7M.
  • The company remains unprofitable (Q4 net loss $11.9M) with rising SG&A and R&D, guide-wide operating expenses of $103M–$107M for 2026 and expected 2026 cash burn of ~$30–35M, which—despite an amended term loan and ~ $86M starting cash—keeps near-term profitability and cash runway as risks to monitor.
