Third Quarter Financial Results

In the third quarter of 2022, total revenue was $12.6 million, an increase of 118% compared to the third quarter of 2021. Revenue growth was driven by a 55% increase in LDD revenue and a 236% increase in LAL revenue, as compared to the third quarter of 2021.

Gross profit for the third quarter of 2022 was $5.4 million or 42.5% of revenue, an increase of $4.0 million or 299% compared to gross profit of $1.3 million or 23.2% of revenue for the third quarter of 2021.

Total operating expenses for the third quarter of 2022 were $21.3 million, a 47.5% increase from $14.5 million in the third quarter of 2021. The rise in operating expenses was primarily due to a higher sales and marketing headcount to support the company’s growth plans.

In the third quarter of 2022, the company reported a net loss of $(16.8) million, or $(0.61) per basic and diluted share, compared to net loss of $(12.7) million, or $(0.68) per share on a basic and diluted basis in the third quarter of 2021.

The adjusted net loss in the third quarter of 2022 was $(13.9) million, or $(0.50) per basic and diluted share, compared to an adjusted net loss of $(12.2) million, or $(0.65) per basic and diluted share in the third quarter of 2021.

Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments as of September 30, 2022, were $112.8 million and long-term debt was $40.0 million.

Based on its third quarter 2022 performance, RxSight has revised its 2022 full-year revenue guidance to a range of $47.0 million to $48.0 million, compared to prior guidance of $44.0 million to $46.0 million. The revised guidance range implies an annual growth rate versus 2021 of 108% to 112%.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements presented under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), we believe certain non-GAAP measures, including adjusted net loss, and adjusted net loss per share, basic and diluted, provide useful information to investors and are useful in evaluating our operating performance. For example, we exclude stock-based compensation expense and change in fair value of warrants because these are non-cash in nature and excluding these items provides meaningful supplemental information regarding our operational performance and allows investors the ability to make more meaningful comparisons between our operating results and those of other companies.

We believe that non-GAAP financial information, when taken collectively, may be helpful to investors because it provides consistency and comparability with past financial performance. However, non-GAAP financial information is presented for supplemental informational purposes only, has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with GAAP. In addition, other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate similarly titled non-GAAP measures differently or may use other measures to evaluate their performance. A reconciliation is provided below for each non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable financial measure stated in accordance with GAAP. Investors are encouraged to review the related GAAP financial measures and the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business.

Adjusted Net Loss and Adjusted Net Loss Per Share

Adjusted net loss is a non-GAAP financial measure that we define as net loss adjusted for (i) stock-based compensation and (ii) change in fair value of warrants. We believe adjusted net loss provides investors with useful information on period-to-period performance as evaluated by management and comparison with our past financial performance and is useful in evaluating our operating performance compared to that of other companies in our industry, as this metric generally eliminates the effects of certain items that may vary from company to company for reasons unrelated to overall operating performance.

Reconciliations of net loss to adjusted net loss and the presentation of adjusted net loss per share, basic and diluted, are as follows:
