HeartFlow Holding, Inc. Provides Selected Preliminary Second Quarter 2021 Financial Results and Updated Guidance for Full Year 2021

HeartFlow Holding, Inc. (“HeartFlow” or the “Company”), the leader in revolutionizing precision heart care, today announced selected preliminary financial results for the period ended June 30, 2021 and provided updated guidance for the year ending December 31, 2021.

Financial Highlights

  • Revenue for the second quarter of 2021 was approximately $9.8 million, an increase of approximately 165% compared to revenue for the second quarter of 2020
  • Revenue for the first half of 2021 was approximately $18.0 million, an increase of approximately 90% as compared to total revenue for the first half of 2020
  • Gross margin for the second quarter of 2021 was approximately 58.2%. This compares to a gross margin of 13.8% for the second quarter of 2020
  • Gross margin for the first half of 2021 was 54.2%. This compares to a gross margin of 23.1% for the first half of 2020

“Our first half 2021 results reflected continued strong demand for our revolutionary precision heart care technology that exceeded our initial expectations, as well as solid execution on our operating goals," said John H. Stevens, MD, President, Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder, HeartFlow. “As we entered the second half of the year, we began to see the significant impact of the incredible strain that this additional COVID-19 wave has placed on patients, health care professionals and providers, which is creating a transitory headwind to our growth. We continue to invest heavily in our capabilities, our people and our technology to enable providers to make more informed care decisions to save lives, drive better patient outcomes and reduce costs.”

Recent Operational Highlights

  • Over 470 medical facilities under contract as of June 30, 2021, a year-over-year increase of approximately 45%
  • Case volume in the first half of 2021 increased 87% compared to the first half of 2020
  • Added John Farquhar to leadership team as new Chief Operating Officer, effective August 4
  • Commenced enrollment in the FUSION randomized controlled trial
  • Completed enrollment in PRECISE randomized controlled trial in May
  • Expanded U.S. sales footprint to support growth trajectory with anticipated changes to ACC/AHA chest pain guidelines

“In addition to our commercial growth and expansion, we continued to strengthen the clinical foundation for a shift in non-invasive testing to the CTA and HeartFlow pathway. Our latest investment in building this clinical evidence is the full enrollment of the PRECISE trial as of May. We are also delivering on our commitment to make HeartFlow available to more patients around the world with the commencement of enrollment in our FUSION trial, which we expect will enable us to secure reimbursement in the Netherlands,” added Stevens. “Lastly, we are finalizing preparation for FDA submission of exciting product expansions in Q4 that we expect will make HeartFlow an indispensable partner for practices utilizing the CTA and HeartFlow pathway.”

FY 2021 Financial Guidance

Due to continued uncertainty around the global COVID-19 pandemic, HeartFlow expects revenue for the full year 2021 to range from $36.0 million to $42.0 million, a 59% to 85% increase over full year 2020 revenue. The forecast is being adjusted to a range due to continued market disruption and uncertainty around the continuing impact of the Delta variant of COVID-19.

Gross margin for the full year 2021 is expected to be at least 49%. This compares to 33% for the full year ended December 31, 2020.

The guidance does not include any forecasted impact due to foreign exchange fluctuations. HeartFlow’s actual results could be significantly impacted by new customer wins, volume increases or decreases from existing customers, impact of COVID-19 /delta variant or new variants, the timing of revenue recognition, the timing of release of the new ACC / AHA guidelines, changes in reimbursement rates by CMS or other payers, as well as unexpected expenses associated with the pending business combination with Longview Acquisition Corp. II (“Longview”) (the “Business Combination”) or public company expenses.

About the HeartFlow FFRct Analysis

Starting with a standard coronary computed tomography angiogram (CTA), the HeartFlow Analysis leverages algorithms trained using deep learning (a form of AI) and highly trained analysts to create a digital, personalized 3D model of the heart. The HeartFlow Analysis then uses powerful computer algorithms to solve millions of complex equations to simulate blood flow and provides FFRct values along the coronary arteries. This information helps physicians evaluate the impact a blockage may be having on blood flow and determine the optimal course of treatment for each patient. A positive FFRct value (≤0.80) indicates that a coronary blockage is impeding blood flow to the heart muscle to a degree which may warrant invasive management.

Data demonstrating the safety, efficacy and cost-effectiveness of the HeartFlow Analysis have been published in more than 425 peer-reviewed publications, including long-term data out to five years. The HeartFlow Analysis offers the highest diagnostic performance available from a non-invasive test.1 To date, clinicians around the world have used the HeartFlow Analysis for more than 100,000 patients to aid in the diagnosis of heart disease.

About HeartFlow

HeartFlow is the leader in revolutionizing precision heart care, uniquely combining human ingenuity with advanced technology. HeartFlow’s non-invasive HeartFlow FFRct Analysis leverages artificial intelligence to create a personalized three-dimensional model of the heart. By using this model, clinicians can better evaluate the impact a blockage has on blood flow and determine the best treatment for patients. HeartFlow’s technology is reflective of our Silicon Valley roots and incorporates over two decades of scientific evidence with the latest advances in artificial intelligence. The HeartFlow FFRct Analysis is commercially available in the United States, UK, Canada, Europe and Japan. For more information, visit www.heartflow.com.
