2. CVRx's Q3 2025 Earnings: Steady Progress in Heart Failure Business

CVRx reported a revenue of $14.7 million for Q3 2025, marking a 10% increase from $13.4 million in Q3 2024, driven primarily by the growth in its US heart failure business. The company's gross margin expanded to 87% from 83% in the same period last year, attributed to an increased average selling price and decreased cost per unit. The earnings per share (EPS) came in at -$0.49, slightly better than the estimated -$0.5. The company's active implanting centers in the US rose to 250 from 240 in Q2 2025, and the number of sales territories increased to 50, up 3 from the previous quarter.

Publication Date: Nov -23

📋 Highlights
  • Revenue Growth: Q3 2025 revenue reached $14.7 million, reflecting a 10% YoY increase driven by US heart failure business expansion.
  • Commercial Expansion: Active implanting centers in the US grew to 250 (up from 240 in Q2 2025), with 50 sales territories (up 3 from prior quarter).
  • Gross Margin Improvement: Gross margin rose to 87% in Q3 2025, up from 83% in Q3 2024, due to higher average selling prices and lower unit costs.
  • 2025 Guidance: Full-year revenue projected between $55.6–$56.6 million, with gross margin expected to stabilize at 85–86%.

Operational Highlights

The company is focusing on three strategic priorities: building a world-class sales organization, targeting high-potential centers, and addressing barriers to Barostim therapy adoption. According to Kevin Hykes, the new sales reps are getting up to speed and making meaningful contributions, with the company adding 10 net new centers in Q3. The refined approach to account targeting is also gaining traction. Management noted that it may take 6-12 months for new reps to reach full productivity, indicating a continued investment phase in the sales force.

Financial Guidance and Outlook

CFO Jared Oasheim provided financial guidance, expecting total revenue between $55.6 million and $56.6 million for 2025, with a gross margin between 85% and 86%. For Q4 2025, the company expects revenue between $15 million and $16 million. Looking ahead to 2026, CVRx anticipates a reacceleration of growth, targeting mid-teens growth rates, with potential to exceed that if favorable developments occur, such as the implementation of a Category I code. The company expects continued leverage in its model, with OpEx growth at a lower rate than top-line growth.

Valuation and Growth Prospects

With a P/S Ratio of 4.72, the market appears to have already priced in a certain level of growth for CVRx. Analysts estimate next year's revenue growth at 15.4%, which aligns with the company's guidance for mid-teens growth rates in 2026. The company's plans for a large randomized controlled trial (RCT) could potentially triple its Total Addressable Market (TAM) by expanding the indication to an adjacent group of patients, providing a significant growth catalyst. The current valuation multiples, including a P/E Ratio of -4.91 and an EV/EBITDA of -4.63, reflect the company's current loss-making position but also indicate market expectations for future growth.

Future Developments and Catalysts

The upcoming RCT, involving around 2,000 patients and likely taking about 4 years to enroll with another 18 months to 2 years of follow-up, is a significant future catalyst. Additionally, the expected Category I code implementation and subsequent reimbursement improvements could reduce friction in the system, leading to higher approval rates and shorter times to approval for prior authorizations, potentially driving growth beyond the mid-teens rate targeted by the company.
