CVRx, Inc. (NASDAQ: CVRX) ("CVRx"), a commercial-stage medical device company, today announced certain preliminary unaudited fourth quarter and full year 2024 revenue results and provided its 2025 business outlook.

"We ended 2024 with a strong fourth quarter, highlighted by 41% growth in U.S. heart failure revenue, as we continued to see the benefits of the successful execution of our commercial strategy as well as our focus on increasing education and awareness, expanding our clinical evidence base, and improving patient access,” said Kevin Hykes, President and Chief Executive Officer of CVRx. “Beyond the strength of our revenue performance, we continue to deliver increasing operating leverage as a result of our prudent capital deployment strategy.”

“We are inspired by the exciting prospects of 2025. Having successfully navigated a number of critical reimbursement milestones during 2024, in combination with the positive utilization and adoption momentum we built throughout the year, we believe we are very well positioned to continue to drive strong, sustainable, cost-efficient topline growth in the coming year as Barostim advances toward the standard of care for patients suffering from the debilitating symptoms of heart failure.”

About CVRx, Inc.

CVRx is focused on the development and commercialization of the Barostim™ System, the first medical technology approved by FDA that uses neuromodulation to improve the symptoms of heart failure. Barostim is an implantable device that delivers electrical pulses to baroreceptors located in the wall of the carotid artery. Baroreceptors activate the body's baroreflex, which in turn triggers an autonomic response to the heart. The therapy is designed to restore balance to the autonomic nervous system and thereby reduce the symptoms of heart failure. Barostim received the FDA Breakthrough Device designation and is FDA-approved for use in heart failure patients in the U.S. It has also received the CE Mark for heart failure and resistant hypertension in the European Economic Area.
