Sight Sciences Reports First Quarter 2023 Financial Results and Reaffirms Guidance for Full Year 2023

MENLO PARK, Calif., May 04, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Sight Sciences, Inc. (Nasdaq: SGHT) (“Sight Sciences,” or the “Company”), an eyecare technology company focused on creating innovative solutions intended to transform care and improve patients’ lives, today reported financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2023 and reaffirmed guidance for full year 2023.

Recent Business and Financial Highlights

  • Generated first quarter revenue of $18.8 million, an increase of 26% compared to the prior year period
  • Achieved gross margin of 84% in the first quarter of 2023 versus 80% in the first quarter of 2022
  • Completed the commercial launch of the Ergo-Series OMNI® Surgical System

“Our first quarter results represent continued adoption of our surgical glaucoma and dry eye technologies and reflect their strong clinical efficacy and usability,” said Paul Badawi, co-founder and Chief Executive Officer of Sight Sciences. “We are driving momentum in our commercial, clinical and market access initiatives, which we designed to demonstrate the proven clinical benefits of our products, grow our customer base and increase utilization. We believe we are well positioned to drive significant revenue growth and improved operating leverage.”

First Quarter 2023 Financial Results
Revenue for the first quarter of 2023 was $18.8 million, an increase of $3.9 million, or 26%, compared to the first quarter of 2022. Surgical Glaucoma revenue was $17.3 million, an increase of 25% compared to the prior year period. The growth was primarily driven by an increase in both the number of ordering facilities and utilization per ordering facility. Dry Eye revenue was $1.5 million, an increase of 47% from the prior year period. This growth was primarily driven by an increase in sales of TearCare® to new and existing customers.

Gross profit for the first quarter of 2023 was $15.8 million compared to $11.8 million for the first quarter of 2022. Gross margin for the first quarter was 84%, compared to 80% in the prior year period. Gross margin improvement was primarily attributed to the margin impact from our voluntary replacement of TearCare SmartHubs® in the first quarter of 2022.

Operating expenses were $33.3 million for the first quarter of 2023 representing a 2% decrease compared to $34.0 million in the first quarter of 2022, reflecting improved operating expense leverage. The decrease in operating expenses was driven by focused spend optimization efforts. Adjusted operating expense1 was $29.7 million in the first quarter of 2023, down from $30.9 million in the prior year period.

Net loss was $17.1 million ($0.35 per share) in the first quarter of 2023, as compared to $23.3 million ($0.49 per share) in the prior year period.

Cash and cash equivalents totaled $167.3 million and long-term debt was $35.0 million (before debt discount) as of March 31, 2023.        

2023 Financial Guidance
Sight Sciences reaffirms revenue guidance expectations for the full year 2023 of $89.0 million to $94.0 million, which represents growth of approximately 25% to 32% compared to 2022. The Company also reaffirms its expectation for average adjusted operating expense on a quarterly basis of approximately $30.5 million. However, the Company expects adjusted operating expense in the second quarter of 2023 will be higher than the full-year average based on the anticipated timing of expenditures during the remainder of the year.   

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Certain non-GAAP financial measures, including adjusted operating expense, are presented in this press release to provide information that may assist investors in understanding the Company’s financial and operating results. The Company believes these non-GAAP financial measures are important performance indicators because they exclude items that are unrelated to, and may not be indicative of, the Company’s core financial and operating results. These non-GAAP financial measures, as calculated, may not necessarily be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies and may not be appropriate measures for comparing the performance of other companies relative to the Company. These non-GAAP financial measures are not intended to represent, and should not be considered to be more meaningful measures than, or alternatives to, measures of operating performance as determined in accordance with GAAP. To the extent the Company utilizes such non-GAAP financial measures in the future, it expects to calculate them using a consistent method from period to period. A reconciliation of the GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable non-GAAP financial measures has been provided in the table titled “GAAP to non-GAAP Reconciliation” attached to this press release.

Sight Sciences’ management team will host a conference call today, May 4, 2023, beginning at 1:30 p.m. Pacific Time / 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time. Investors interested in listening to the conference call may do so by accessing a live and archived webcast of the event at www.sightsciences.com, on the Investors page in the News & Events section.
