CVRx Reports Third Quarter 2026 Financial and Operating Results
MINNEAPOLIS, November 5, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CVRx, Inc. (NASDAQ: CVRX) ("CVRx"), a commercial-stage medical device company focused on developing, manufacturing and commercializing innovative neuromodulation solutions for patients with cardiovascular diseases, today announced its financial and operating results for the third quarter of 2026.
Recent Highlights
| ● | Total revenue for the third quarter of 2026 was $13.8 million |
| ● | U.S. revenue for the third quarter of 2026 was $13.0 million |
| ● | Active implanting centers in the U.S. increased to 262 as of September 30, 2026, as compared to 250 as of September 30, 2025 |
| ● | A second major Medicare Advantage provider has issued a coverage policy for Barostim, effective July 17, 2026, covering the current FDA-approved indication and patients enrolled in BENEFIT-HF. In total, these two policies represent approximately 21% of Medicare Advantage enrollment |
| ● | Had a significant presence at the Heart Failure Society of America (HFSA) Annual Scientific Meeting 2026 including podium presentations featuring late-breaking REBALANCE Registry data as well as new real-world evidence in patients with heart failure with mildly reduced ejection fraction (HFmrEF) |
| ● | Appointed John Landry as Chief Financial Officer effective November 6, 2026, bringing more than 20 years of financial leadership experience in the medical device industry |
“While we recognize there is more work ahead, we remain encouraged by the progress we are making on key strategic initiatives, including the expansion of Medicare Advantage coverage and the clinical evidence released at HFSA,” said Kevin Hykes, President and Chief Executive Officer of CVRx. “With new Medicare Advantage coverage policies, BENEFIT-HF enrolling, and continued focus on commercial execution, we are confident in our ability to bring this therapy to more patients living with heart failure.”
Third Quarter 2026 Financial and Operating Results
Revenue was $13.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026, a decrease of $0.9 million, or 6%, over the three months ended September 30, 2025.
Revenue generated in the U.S. was $13.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026, a decrease of $0.5 million, or 4%, over the three months ended September 30, 2025. Revenue units in the U.S. totaled 412 and 420 for the three months ended September 30, 2026, and 2025, respectively. The decreases were primarily driven by lower sales force productivity and a prolonged challenge with one of our largest payers. Revenue also reflected higher-than-usual implants by centers that already had existing units to implant, which was more than offset by a larger annual purchase that occurred in the third quarter that we otherwise would have expected to occur in the fourth quarter.
As of September 30, 2026, the Company had a total of 262 active implanting centers in the U.S., compared to 250 as of September 30, 2025. Active implanting centers are customers that have completed at least one commercial HF implant in the last 12 months. As of September 30, 2026, the number of sales territories in the U.S. was 56 as compared to 50 sales territories as of September 30, 2025.
Revenue generated in Europe was $0.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026, a decrease of $0.3 million, or 27%, over the three months ended September 30, 2025. Total revenue units in Europe decreased to 38 for the three months ended September 30, 2026, compared to 50 in the prior year period. The number of sales territories in Europe remained unchanged at five for the three months ended September 30, 2026.
Gross profit was $12.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026, a decrease of $0.8 million, or 6%, over the three months ended September 30, 2025. Gross margin was 87% for both the three months ended September 30, 2026, and September 30, 2025.
R&D expenses decreased $0.5 million, or 16%, to $2.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2025. This change was driven by a $0.4 million decrease in headcount expenses and a $0.2 million decrease in consulting expenses, partially offset by a $0.1 million increase in clinical trial expenses.
SG&A expenses increased $0.5 million, or 2%, to $22.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2025. This change was primarily driven by a $0.7 million increase in legal expenses, a $0.4 million increase in travel expenses, and a $0.4 million increase in consulting and contract labor expenses, partially offset by a $0.8 million decrease in advertising expenses and a $0.1 million decrease in insurance expenses.
Interest expense increased $0.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2025. This increase was driven by higher interest expense resulting from increased borrowings under the term loan agreement with Innovatus Capital Partners.
Other income, net decreased $0.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2025. This decrease was driven by lower interest income from lower balances in our interest-bearing accounts.
Net loss was $14.2 million, or $0.52 per share, for the three months ended September 30, 2026, compared to a net loss of $12.9 million, or $0.49 per share, for the three months ended September 30, 2025. Net loss per share was based on 27.2 million weighted-average shares outstanding for the three months ended September 30, 2026, and 26.2 million weighted average shares outstanding for the three months ended September 30, 2025.
As of September 30, 2026, cash and cash equivalents were $58.7 million. Net cash used in operating and investing activities was $11.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026, compared to $10.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025.
Business Outlook
For the full year of 2026, the Company now expects:
| ● | Total revenue between $56.0 million and $57.0 million, compared to prior guidance of between $58.0 million and $60.0 million; |
| ● | Gross margin between 86% and 87%; |
| ● | Operating expenses between $99 million and $101 million. |
For the fourth quarter of 2026, the Company expects to report total revenue between $11.7 million and $12.7 million.
Operating Expense Reductions
The Company has taken a comprehensive set of actions to reduce the baseline cost structure. These actions included reductions in non-commercial functions, while continuing to invest in sales and reimbursement teams. The Company is being disciplined about filling open positions and has pulled back on marketing and research and development projects that are not expected to impact revenue.
Clinical Evidence Presented at HFSA
Late-breaking data from the REBALANCE Registry, the largest real-world study of Barostim-treated patients to date was presented at HFSA by Dmitry Yaranov, M.D. of Baptist Memorial Health Care. The data evaluated 435 patients across 45 U.S. centers and has been submitted for publication in a peer reviewed journal. Improvements in New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional class and an increase in average left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) were observed over follow-up, while blood pressure and other hemodynamic parameters remained stable. In addition, real-world evidence was presented by JoAnn Lindenfeld, M.D. of Vanderbilt University, regarding patients with HFmrEF, that included an analysis of hospitalization burden.
