“CHF Solutions achieved very solid performance in the third quarter, most notably within pediatric accounts,” said John Erb, chairman and CEO of CHF Solutions. “The pediatric opportunity is growing, as more children’s hospitals acquire our Aquadex SmartFlow product and complete training. In the third quarter, we had twelve children’s hospitals purchase product, reinforcing our strategic focus in this area.”

Third Quarter 2020 Financial ResultsRevenue for the third quarter was $1.9 million, an increase of 52% compared to $1.3 million in the prior year period. Revenue growth in the quarter was driven by increased utilization among established pediatric accounts, and the addition of six new pediatric accounts.

The Company offered incentives to existing customers to upgrade consoles to Aquadex SmartFlow which impacted third quarter gross margins. The Company believes these upgrades will improve the customer experience with the therapy and increase utilization. Additionally, the Company experienced a higher mix of international distributor revenue which normally carries a lower sales price than in the U.S. Gross margin was 46.1% in the third quarter, compared to 56.9% in the prior year period.

Operating expenses for the third quarter of 2020 were $5.1 million, a decrease of 1.6% compared to the prior year period. The slight decrease in operating expenses was primarily due reduced product development costs compared to the prior year period.

Net loss from operations for the third quarter of 2020 was $4.3 million, compared to a loss of $4.5 million in the prior year period.

Cash and cash equivalents were $17.9 million with no debt as of September 30, 2020. During the quarter, the Company announced the closing of a public offering for net proceeds of $13 million. The Company also received $1.8 million in cash proceeds from the exercise of warrants in the third quarter of 2020.
