Revenue for the first quarter ended March 31, 2024, was $218.8 million, a 36% increase from $161.1 million in the same period of 2023. The growth in revenue was primarily driven by increased adoption of Shockwave products in both the United States and internationally.

Total operating expenses for the first quarter of 2024 were $148.2 million, a 48% increase from $100.2 million in the first quarter of 2023. The increase was primarily driven by sales force expansion and higher headcount to support the growth of the business.

Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains statements relating to our expectations, projections, beliefs, and prospects, which are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. In some cases, you can identify these statements by forward-looking words such as “may,” “might,” “will,” “should,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential” or “continue,” and similar expressions, and the negative of these terms. Forward-looking statements in this press release include, but are not limited to, statements regarding our pending acquisition by Johnson & Johnson, our business strategy and plans, our objectives for future operations and financial performance and other matters. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are only predictions based on our current expectations, estimates, and assumptions, valid only as of the date they are made, and subject to risks and uncertainties, some of which we are not currently aware.
If underlying assumptions prove inaccurate or known or unknown risks or uncertainties materialize, actual results could vary materially from our expectations and projections. Risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to: the risk that the closing conditions for the pending acquisition will not be satisfied, including the risk that clearance under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act or other applicable antitrust laws will not be obtained; uncertainty as to the percentage of our stockholders that will vote to approve the proposed transaction; the possibility that the transaction will not be completed in the expected timeframe or at all; potential adverse effects to our business or the business of Johnson & Johnson during the pendency of the transaction, such as employee departures or distraction of management from business operations; the risk of stockholder litigation relating to the transaction, including resulting expense or delay; the potential that the expected benefits and opportunities of the acquisition, if completed, may not be realized or may take longer to realize than expected; challenges inherent in product research and development, including uncertainty of clinical success and obtaining regulatory approvals; uncertainty of commercial success for new products; manufacturing difficulties and delays; product efficacy or safety concerns resulting in product recalls or regulatory action; economic conditions, including currency exchange and interest rate fluctuations; the risks associated with global operations; competition, including technological advances, new products and patents attained by competitors; challenges to patents; changes to applicable laws and regulations, including tax laws and global health care reforms; adverse litigation or government action; changes in behavior and spending patterns or financial distress of purchasers of health care services and products; and trends toward health care cost containment. These factors, as well as others, are discussed in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), including in the sections titled “Risk Factors” in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and subsequently filed Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, and in our other reports filed with the SEC. Except to the extent required by law, we do not undertake to update any of these forward-looking statements after the date hereof to conform these statements to actual results or revised expectations.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release contains supplemental financial information determined by methods other than in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP), including references to adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes from net income the effects of income tax (benefit) provision, other (expense) income, net, interest expense, interest income, income (loss) from equity method investment, depreciation and amortization, and stock-based compensation. We believe the presentation of adjusted EBITDA is useful as it provides visibility to our underlying continuing operating performance by excluding the impact of certain items that are non-cash in nature or not related to our core business operations.
Our definition of adjusted EBITDA may differ from similarly titled measures used by others. Adjusted EBITDA should be considered supplemental to, and not a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Because adjusted EBITDA excludes the effect of items that increase or decrease our reported results of operations, management strongly encourages investors to review, when they become available, our consolidated financial statements and publicly filed reports in their entirety. A reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to net income has been provided in the financial statement tables included in this press release, and investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation.
