ended June 30, 2024.

of 2024, representing 26% year-over-year growth
- Realized gross margin of 74% in the second quarter of 2024

“Our record quarterly results reflect the continued traction of
our commercial strategy, particularly in the United States where we
continue to expand our presence by opening new accounts, preparing
to launch new pilot programs to optimize patient workflows, and
building local awareness of our Zephyr Valves,” said Steve
Williamson, President, and Chief Executive Officer. “Our strategy
is demonstrating positive momentum, giving us confidence in our
ability to deliver our projected growth through the balance of the
year and beyond.”
Second Quarter 2024 Financial ResultsTotal
worldwide revenue in the second quarter of 2024 was $20.8 million,
a 21% increase from $17.2 million in the second quarter of 2023.
U.S. revenue was $13.9 million, a 26% increase from the second
quarter of 2023. International revenue was $6.9 million, a 12%
increase compared to the second quarter of 2023. The growth in
revenue reflects continued commercial momentum and adoption of
Zephyr Valve procedures.
Gross profit in the second quarter of 2024 was $15.3 million,
compared to $12.7 million for the second quarter of 2023. Gross
margin for the second quarter of 2024 was 74%, compared to 74% for
the same period in 2023.
Operating expenses in the second quarter of 2024 were $30.9
million, compared to $29.2 million for the second quarter of 2023,
representing an increase of 6%. The increase in operating expenses
was primarily attributable to a one-time, non-cash charge of $1.7
million to impair internally developed software following a
strategic decision to adopt a more efficient solution.
Net loss in the second quarter of 2024 was $15.3 million, or
$0.39 per share, compared to a net loss of $16.2 million, or $0.43
per share, for the same period in 2023.
Adjusted EBITDA loss in the second quarter of 2024 was $7.6
million compared to $10.3 million for the same period in 2023.
Cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities totaled $114.5
million as of June 30, 2024.
2024 Financial OutlookPulmonx continues to
expect revenue for the full year 2024 to be in the range of $81
million to $84 million.
The Company continues to expect gross margin for the full year
2024 to fall within the range of 74% to 75%.
Pulmonx continues to expect total operating expenses for the
full year 2024 to fall within the range of $127 million to $129
million, inclusive of approximately $25 million of non-cash
stock-based compensation.

p.m. ET to discuss its second quarter financial results. A live
webcast of the conference call will be available on the Investor

Use of Non-GAAP Financial MeasuresTo supplement
Pulmonx’s condensed consolidated financial statements prepared in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America, or GAAP, Pulmonx provides certain
non-GAAP financial measures in this release as supplemental
financial metrics. Non-GAAP financial measures reflect an
additional way of viewing aspects of the Company's operations that,
when viewed with GAAP results, may provide a more complete
understanding of factors and trends affecting Pulmonx’s
business.
Constant currency calculations show reported current period
revenues as if the foreign exchange rates remain the same as those
in effect in the comparable prior year period. Pulmonx uses results
on a constant currency basis as one measure to evaluate its
performance. Pulmonx calculates constant currency by calculating
current-year results using foreign currency exchange rates from the
applicable comparable period in the prior year. Pulmonx generally
refers to such amounts calculated on a constant currency basis as
excluding the impact of foreign exchange or being on a constant
currency basis. Pulmonx believes the presentation of results on a
constant currency basis in addition to reported results helps
improve investors’ ability to understand its operating results and
evaluate its performance in comparison to prior periods. Pulmonx
generally uses constant currency to facilitate management's
financial and operational decision-making, including evaluation of
Pulmonx’s historical operating results.
The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as earnings before interest
income or expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization and
stock-based compensation and may also exclude certain
non-recurring, irregular or one-time items not reflective of our
ongoing core business operations, such as impairment charges.
Management believes in order to properly understand short-term and
long-term financial trends, investors may wish to consider the
impact of these excluded items in addition to GAAP measures.
Further, management uses adjusted EBITDA for strategic and annual
operating planning. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures
are useful as a supplement in evaluating our ongoing operational
performance and enhancing an overall understanding of our past
financial performance.
Reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most
comparable GAAP measures is set forth in the tables below.
The non-GAAP financial measures used by Pulmonx should be
considered supplemental to, and not a substitute for, financial
information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Because non-GAAP
financial measures exclude the effect of items that increase or
decrease the company's reported results of operations, management
strongly encourages investors to review, when they become
available, the Company's consolidated financial statements and
publicly filed reports in their entirety. The Company's definition
of non-GAAP measures may differ from similarly titled measures used
by others.
