• Revenue of $71.9 million
  • 31.6% increase compared to third quarter 2019
  • 41.4% increase compared to second quarter 2020
• Gross margin was 74.7%
  • Consistent with comparable quarter in 2019

“Our strong performance during the quarter was driven by further penetration of Zio XT in both existing and new accounts, continued ramp of Zio AT and continued utilization of our Home Enrollment service to sustain patient registration volumes in telemedicine settings. As we exited the quarter, many centers were prescribing Zio at or above the daily average we saw in February, prior to the impact of COVID-19. While the pandemic undoubtedly created unprecedented challenges, it also served to escalate awareness as to the benefits of Zio as our digital platform allows for cardiac monitoring independent of patient and physician location,” said Kevin King, CEO.

“There still remains some degree of regional variability in terms of registration volumes, and this trend significantly correlates to the new or continuing outbreaks in those areas. Nonetheless, we remain very confident in our ability to drive further market penetration, as well as the potential for expansion into the asymptomatic market following data from  important trials currently underway,” concluded King.

Third Quarter Financial Results
Revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2020 increased 31.6% to $71.9 million, from $54.7 million during the same period in 2019. The increase was primarily due to higher volumes.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
iRhythm has supplemented its GAAP net income (loss) with a non-GAAP measure of Adjusted EBITDA.

A reconciliation of non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA to GAAP net income (loss), the most directly comparable GAAP measure, is provided in the schedule below.

There are limitations in using this non-GAAP financial measure because it is not prepared in accordance with GAAP and may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies.
