Action:ReiteratedDate:02/24/26
The score is held down primarily by weak financial performance (large losses, persistent cash burn, and rising leverage), with mixed technicals also limiting support. Earnings-call updates add some upside via strong margin guidance and improving reimbursement/clinical catalysts, but near-term profitability pressure and expected cash burn keep the overall profile below average.
Positive Factors
High gross margins
Sustained high gross margins (mid-80s) indicate strong unit economics for the Barostim system. Durable product-level profitability provides room to fund commercialization and clinical investment, and as volumes scale these margins materially support the path to operating leverage and eventual positive contribution margins.
Scaling commercial footprint
Expansion of territories and implanting centers demonstrates improving market penetration and commercial coverage. A growing field organization and concentrated high-performing centers create durable channels for adoption, supporting steady unit growth and lowering incremental acquisition costs over the medium term.
Reimbursement and clinical catalyst
Category I CPT reduces reimbursement friction and formalizes payment, improving predictable access. The large BENEFIT HF randomized trial (with CMS coverage for enrollees) can structurally expand the addressable market and strengthen adoption if outcomes are positive, representing a multi-year growth catalyst and payer recognition.
Negative Factors
Persistent cash burn
Sustained negative operating and free cash flow requires ongoing external financing or draw on facilities. This structural cash consumption increases refinancing risk and can force dilutive or debt-funded raises, especially as clinical trials and commercial investments continue to consume cash over the next 2–6 months and beyond.
Rising leverage and weakened equity
Material increase in leverage and a shrinking equity base reduce financial flexibility and raise balance-sheet risk. Higher debt amplifies downside exposure to operational shortfalls, may constrain strategic choices, and makes the company more dependent on milestone-based facility access or capital markets to fund growth and trials.
High operating expense run-rate
Aggressive SG&A and R&D spending at a run-rate nearly double reported revenue will prolong losses. Until revenue scales materially, the elevated expense base structurally pressures margins and free cash flow, increasing the time and performance required to reach sustainable profitability.

CVRx Earnings Call Summary

Earnings Call Date:Feb 12, 2026
(Q4-2025)
|
% Change Since: |
Next Earnings Date:Apr 29, 2026
Earnings Call Sentiment Positive
The call highlights important commercial and reimbursement milestones (Category I CPT code, improved prior authorization rates), stronger gross margins and a major clinical trial (BENEFIT HF) that can materially expand the addressable market long-term. These positives are balanced against continued net losses, sizable and growing operating expense guidance, expected cash burn in 2026, and near-term revenue growth that remains modest as a larger sales organization continues to ramp. Management emphasizes building durable programs and long-term growth rather than short-term profitability.
Q4-2025 Updates
Positive Updates
Quarter and Full-Year Revenue
Q4 revenue of $16,000,000, up $700,000 or 4% year-over-year; full-year 2025 revenue of $56,700,000 (management described 2025 as a year of significant commercial investment).
U.S. Volume and Revenue Growth
U.S. revenue of $14,900,000 in Q4, up $600,000 or 4% year-over-year; U.S. revenue units rose to 478 from 404 (+74 units, +18%).
Improved Profitability Metrics
Gross profit of $13,800,000 for Q4, up $1,100,000 or 8% year-over-year; gross margin improved to 86% from 83% (+3 percentage points), driven by higher average selling price (ASP) and lower cost per unit from manufacturing efficiencies (ASP noted >$31,000 in 2025).
Commercial Footprint Expansion and Deep-Account Performance
Sales organization expanded to 53 territories (+10% vs. year-end 2024) and 252 active implanting centers (+13% vs. year-end 2024). Top 20% of centers had an annualized implant rate of ~19 implants in Q4 and management estimates ~300 indicated patients per top center, demonstrating substantial runway for deeper penetration.
Reimbursement Milestone — Category I CPT Code
Transition to Category I CPT codes effective 01/01/2026, eliminating automatic prior-authorization denials associated with Category III codes, improving reimbursement predictability and formalizing implanting physician payment at ~ $560 nationally — expected to reduce access friction over coming quarters.
Improved Prior Authorization Outcomes
30-day Medicare Advantage prior authorization approval rate increased to 46% in 2025 from 31% in 2024 (+15 percentage points), demonstrating meaningful progress on access even before Category I code implementation.
BENEFIT HF — Landmark Randomized Trial Initiated
Initiated BENEFIT HF trial following CMS Category B IDE coverage: randomized trial of 2,500 patients at ~100 centers (U.S. and Germany) evaluating mortality and HF decompensation; if successful, could expand addressable prevalence from ~339,000 to ~980,000 patients (tripling market to ~$30B). CMS coverage ensures Medicare reimbursement for trial patients (~$45,000 per procedure); enrollment expected to begin in 2026.
Strengthened Liquidity and Debt Flexibility
Cash and cash equivalents of $75.7M at 12/31/2025; amended term loan in January increased facility to up to $100M, borrowed an additional $10M at closing, bringing outstanding principal to $60M and providing access to further non-dilutive capital contingent on milestones. Management states at least two years of cash runway and no immediate need for additional capital.
Medical Education and Program Development
Completed over 150 local, regional and national education events in 2025 and implemented program-selling approach (focused account lists, training, field leadership changes) to drive deeper adoption and build referral workflows.
Negative Updates
Wider Net Loss
Net loss increased to $11,900,000 in 2025 from $10,700,000 in 2024 (loss widened by $1,200,000, ~11%), or $0.46 per share vs $0.43 per share, reflecting continued investment and higher operating costs.
High Operating Expenses and Aggressive SG&A
SG&A increased to $22,000,000 in Q4 (+$1,800,000 or 9% year-over-year) driven by compensation, advertising and travel. FY2026 operating expense guidance is $103,000,000 to $107,000,000, indicating continued heavy investment that will pressure near-term profitability.
Cash Burn and Trial Cash Impact
Management expects cash used in 2026 of roughly $30,000,000 to $35,000,000 and expects the BENEFIT HF trial to have a net cash impact of $20,000,000 to $30,000,000 over 5–7 years (majority later years), creating near-term cash outflows despite available liquidity.
Modest Near-Term Revenue Growth and Sales Ramp Effects
Q4 revenue growth was modest at +4% YoY and management acknowledged that integrating many new sales reps created near-term impacts on growth; sequential account expansion and activation were limited in certain periods (some accounts were sunsetting even as new ones were added).
Non-Operating Income Decline and Increased Leverage
Other income, net, decreased to $700,000 from $1,100,000 (down $400,000, ~36%). Outstanding term loan principal increased to $60,000,000 and additional facility capacity is milestone-dependent, increasing leverage and reliance on debt availability.
Delayed Financial Contribution from Major Initiatives
BENEFIT HF is strategically important but will not have material revenue impact in 2026; Category I CPT code benefits will also take several quarters to fully translate as payers update systems and prior authorizations are resubmitted.
Company Guidance
Management guided full‑year 2026 revenue of $63.0–67.0 million (vs. $56.7M in FY2025, ≈11–18% growth), full‑year gross margin of 84–86%, operating expenses of $103–107 million, and Q1 2026 revenue of $13.7–14.7 million; they expect 2026 cash burn of roughly $30–35 million, begin the year with about $86 million of liquidity (cash & equivalents $75.7M as of 12/31/2025 plus a $10M draw), have an amended term facility increased to an aggregate capacity of up to $100M with $60M currently outstanding and access to an additional $40M of nondilutive capital, see at least two years of runway, assume a U.S. ASP of about $31,000 for planning, plan to add ~3 territories per quarter with high‑single‑digit net account growth per quarter, and noted the BENEFIT HF trial will not have a material impact on 2026 revenue.

CVRx Financial Statement Overview

Summary
Strong revenue growth and consistently high gross margins support the long-term model, but results remain deeply unprofitable with meaningful ongoing cash burn. Balance-sheet risk has increased as leverage rose materially and equity declined, keeping overall financial quality weak despite scaling progress.
Income Statement
38
Negative
Revenue growth has been strong over the period (2025: +121.9% after 2024: +30.5%), and gross margins are consistently very high (~78%–85%), signaling solid product economics. However, profitability remains deeply negative: 2025 net loss was about -$53.3M on $56.7M of revenue (net margin ~-94.1%), with operating losses still large despite some improvement versus 2024. Overall, the business is scaling revenue but has not yet demonstrated a clear path to operating profitability.
Balance Sheet
32
Negative
Leverage has increased meaningfully, with debt-to-equity rising from ~0.06 (2022) to ~1.29 (2025) as equity declined from ~$109.2M (2022) to ~$39.3M (2025). Returns on equity are sharply negative (2025 ROE ~-135.6%), reflecting ongoing losses and a shrinking equity base. While total assets remain sizable (~$104.8M in 2025), the combination of higher leverage and persistent losses increases balance-sheet risk.
Cash Flow
29
Negative
Cash generation remains a key weakness: operating cash flow is consistently negative (2025: -$40.2M), and free cash flow is also negative (2025: -$40.8M). There is a modest improvement trend in free cash flow versus prior years (2025 free cash flow growth is positive), but the company is still meaningfully cash-consuming and likely reliant on external funding until losses narrow materially.

On January 12, 2026, CVRx, Inc. entered into an Open Market Sale Agreement with Jefferies LLC, allowing the company to offer and sell up to $50 million of its common stock from time to time through at-the-market offerings under an effective shelf registration. Jefferies will act as sales agent on a commercially reasonable efforts basis and receive a commission of up to 3% of gross proceeds, while CVRx, which is not obligated to sell any shares, plans to use any net proceeds for working capital and general corporate purposes, potentially enhancing its financial flexibility and liquidity without committing to a fixed-size equity issuance.

CVRx Issues 2026 Outlook and Expands Loan Facility
Positive
Jan 12, 2026

On January 12, 2026, CVRx reported preliminary unaudited results indicating fourth-quarter 2025 revenue of $15.9 million to $16.1 million, up 4% to 5% year over year, and full-year 2025 revenue of $56.5 million to $56.7 million, up 10% to 11%, alongside modest expansion of its implanting center network and U.S. sales territories and year-end cash of $75.7 million. The company issued 2026 guidance calling for revenue of $63 million to $67 million, gross margins of 84% to 86% and operating expenses of $103 million to $107 million, while benefiting from new Category I CPT codes effective January 1, 2026, which management highlighted as easing adoption barriers for Barostim. Operationally, CVRx secured additional financial flexibility by amending its Innovatus-led term loan facility on January 9, 2026, doubling potential borrowings to $100 million, extending interest-only payments for up to five years subject to milestones, and pushing maturity to May 2031, with $60 million outstanding after a new $10 million draw. Strategically, the FDA’s November 2025 approval of the BENEFIT-HF trial design and the company’s subsequent CMS coverage application mark a major clinical investment, as the large, multicenter randomized study of Barostim in an expanded heart failure population could, if successful, significantly enlarge the device’s U.S. addressable market and reinforce CVRx’s competitive position in heart failure neuromodulation.

The most recent analyst rating on (CVRX) stock is a Buy with a $11.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on CVRx stock, see the CVRX Stock Forecast page.
