ClearPoint Neuro Reports Second Quarter 2026 Results

Positive BioPharma Partner Regulatory Progress and Early Success in Focused Ultrasound Technology Platform Expansion

SOLANA BEACH, CA / ACCESS Newswire / August 3, 2026 /ClearPoint Neuro, Inc. (Nasdaq:CLPT) (the "Company "), a global device, cell, and gene therapy-enabling company offering precise navigation to the brain and spine, today announced financial results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2026.

Second Quarter 2026 Highlights

• Reported second quarter revenue of $10.9 million, representing 18% overall growth, including the recently acquired IRRAflow Portfolio; Biologics and Drug Delivery Revenue declined 15% in the quarter, primarily due to a decrease in products shipped to biopharma customers supporting new trial initiations compared to the second quarter a year ago. This decline was partially offset by growth in preclinical service revenue in the quarter. As of July 2026, the ClearPoint Advanced Laboratories (CAL) facility is now in the Company 's possession and new services revenue is expected to return the Biologics and Drug Delivery segment to growth in the third quarter;

• Multiple biopharma partners recently received positive feedback from the FDA on their potential BLA submissions, as well as other global regulatory progress, leading us to believe that additional cell and gene therapies could become available commercially by the end of 2027;

• The Company expects 10-15 clinical trials using ClearPoint Neuro technology to be enrolling patients in the next 18 months, along with approximately 10 partner clinical trial data readouts;

• The Company has entered into multiple statements of work for preclinical services at CAL, including our first statement of work involving GLP services, which we expect to complete in the first half of 2027;

• Both our in-development Robotic platform and Harmony 1.0 software were showcased at multiple neurosurgery trade shows in the second quarter; feedback from more than 50 surgeons reinforced our strategy and provided essential user input;

• Announced plans to enter the focused ultrasound market via a partnership with the SONOCARE Lab at Sungkyunkwan University, South Korea, alongside the successful intravenous delivery of tracers across the blood-brain barrier in a preclinical model using the ClearPoint Neuro prototype system; and

• Positive regulatory news has re-activated the need for commercial drug delivery readiness in 2027 leading to a reorganization of the Company 's commercial structure which began in Q2 with an emphasis on installed base expansion and clinical case support.

"Establishing ClearPoint Neuro as the leading neuro cell and gene therapy delivery company has been our number one priority for the last 10 years. Over that time, we have pivoted the company vision, invested more than $200 million, built our unique ecosystem, and earned more than 60 active biopharma partners, many of whom have programs which are now under FDA expedited review, " commented Joe Burnett, President and CEO at ClearPoint Neuro. "Exciting news over the past few months from our partners, global regulatory bodies, and our own product development teams have only furthered that conviction. "

"First, the FDA recently reversed their guidance on a number of rare disease decisions, once again opening the door for potential partner BLA submissions later this year. This timing could yield commercial approvals as early as 2027, and as a key product and service provider to our partners, we need to ensure that we are ready. This regulatory news, combined with the planned initiation of larger phase III trials, has elevated the priority to invest in building our clinical capacity so that the ClearPoint installed base and our clinical support team are not a bottleneck. We believe the next 18 months will only increase the need for capable sites as we expect between 10 and 15 clinical trials to be enrolling, and approximately 10 data readouts to be presented, creating informative news flow on almost a monthly basis. It is important to note that progress toward commercial cell and gene therapy delivery is not just a U.S. phenomenon, and expanding our global footprint is included in these activities. "

"Second, we are now in possession of the ClearPoint Advanced Laboratories, or the 'CAL ', our preclinical lab facility in Torrey Pines. Importantly we have now signed our very first statement of work for an IND enabling study involving GLP services at the CAL and we expect it to be performed in the first half of 2027. "

"Third, we announced a 10-year focused ultrasound drug delivery partnership with the SONOCARE Lab at Sungkyunkwan University in South Korea, supported by preclinical proof-of-concept results demonstrating successful delivery of tracers across the blood-brain barrier. In parallel, our in-development ClearPoint Neuro robotic platform continued to advance and received valuable feedback from neurosurgeons during the quarter. Our Harmony 1.0 software, designed to control the ClearPoint drug delivery ecosystem through a single workflow, was further refined. These in-development technologies are all designed to help our partners reach the phase that will inevitably follow regulatory approval which is achieving global scale. "

"As we embrace this new and important market information, our revised 2026 priorities are designed to build capacity across the full development pathway, from preclinical studies at the CAL, through larger, pivotal phase III trials, to commercial scale around the world, all hallmarks of the leading neuro drug delivery company, " continued Burnett. "As a result of these new priorities and investments, we are adjusting our 2026 revenue guidance to between $48.0 - $52.0 million as our investment will be less focused on traditional sales expansion than previously planned, and more focused on clinical case support for commercial drug delivery, global regulatory product expansion, capital equipment purchases at the CAL facility, and development of our focused ultrasound, robotics and harmony software solutions. We believe these decisions are the best way to extend our lead as the premier neuro drug delivery partner, be true to our strategy, and prepare ourselves for an exciting future. "

Business Outlook

The Company estimates revenue in 2026 to be between $48.0 million and $52.0 million.

Financial Results - Quarter Ended June 30, 2026

Total revenue was $10.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026, and $9.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, which represents an increase of $1.7 million, or 18%.

Biologics and drug delivery revenue, which include sales of disposable products and services related to customer-sponsored preclinical and clinical trials utilizing our products, decreased to $4.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 from $4.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025. This decrease is attributable to lower product revenue due to a single customer order that occurred in the quarter of the prior year and did not recur in the current quarter.

Neurosurgery navigation and therapy revenue, which primarily consists of disposable product commercial sales related to cases utilizing the ClearPoint and IRRAflow systems, increased 62% to $5.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026, from $3.4 million for the same period in 2025. The increase is driven by additional revenues from sales of the IRRAflow product as well as the introduction of our 3.0 operating room navigation software, which has positively impacted procedural volumes in the operating room during the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025.

Capital equipment and software revenue, consisting of sales of ClearPoint and IRRAflow reusable hardware and software and related services, increased 24% to $1.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026, from $1.0 million for the same period in 2025 due to an increase in placements of ClearPoint navigation capital and software, IRRAflow control units, and Prism laser units.

The Company achieved a gross margin of 62% on its sales for the three months ended June 30, 2026, and a gross margin of 60% in the same period in 2025. The increase in gross margin is primarily due to lower excess and obsolete inventory for the three months ended June 30, 2026, as compared to the same period in 2025.

Operating expenses were $17.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared with $11.2 million for the same period in 2025, an increase of 51%. The increase was mainly driven by the IRRAS acquisition in November 2025, primarily through higher personnel costs resulting from the expansion of our clinical and sales teams, as well as increased occupancy costs, and travel costs.

At June 30, 2026, the Company had cash and cash equivalents totaling $29.4 million as compared to $45.9 million at December 31, 2025, with the decrease resulting from the use of $15.0 million in cash for operating activities and $2.0 million in cash paid for taxes related to the net share settlement of equity awards. We expect our operational cash burn to decrease in the second half of the year.
