Sensus Healthcare, Inc. (SRTS)·Q2 2025 Earnings Summary
Executive Summary
- Q2 2025 revenue was $7.3M, down 20.8% YoY, with diluted EPS of $(0.06); results missed Wall Street consensus as revenue came in ~21% below estimates and EPS missed by $0.07, driven by a temporary pause in domestic sales tied to a proposed LCD impacting ultrasound reimbursement on IG-SRT *.
- Management highlighted a significant potential tailwind: Medicare’s proposed Physician Fee Schedule (PFS) would align outpatient SRT payments with higher hospital rates starting January 1, 2026; management characterized the proposed delivery code increase as ~300% on the call, a catalyst for future adoption if finalized .
- Commercial execution remained solid: 19 SRT systems shipped (4 to China), five new Fair Deal Agreements (FDAs) signed with four sites activated, and FDA treatment volume rose 27% sequentially; cash ended at $22.2M with no debt .
- Strategic initiatives advanced: receipt of MDSAP certification for the full SRT portfolio to streamline international registrations, and engagement of Radiology Oncology Systems (ROS) as primary U.S. distribution partner for hospital-based oncology, with initial orders expected as early as Q4 2025 .
- Near-term narrative is dominated by reimbursement clarity: management expects the LCD issue to resolve (favorably or status quo) and noted a large customer paused purchases pending clarity; this dynamic could weigh on Q3 while international and FDA recurring revenue provide partial offsets .
What Went Well and What Went Wrong
What Went Well
- International traction and regulatory readiness: shipped 4 systems to China in Q2 and obtained MDSAP certification (covering FDA, Health Canada, ANVISA, PMDA, TGA), enabling faster multi-country market entry .
- Recurring revenue model gaining momentum: signed five new FDAs with four going live; FDA treatment volume increased 27% sequentially, signaling improving utilization efficiency and awareness .
- New channel into hospital oncology: engaged ROS as primary distribution partner; management expects tangible results later this year and initial orders as early as Q4 2025 .
Quote: “This agreement builds upon our strong base in dermatology and supports broader adoption of SRT in complementary care settings. We anticipate this relationship will begin to yield tangible results later this year.” — CEO Joe Sardano .
What Went Wrong
- Reimbursement uncertainty pressured domestic momentum: a proposed LCD (mid-May) to limit ultrasound reimbursement used with SRT-100 Vision stalled U.S. sales in the back half of Q2 .
- Mix and costs compressed margins: fewer capital system sales to a large customer and higher cost of service drove gross margin down to 39.7% (vs 58.7% YoY) and negative adjusted EBITDA of $(1.8)M .
- R&D and commercial investments elevated OpEx: R&D up to $1.5M (+$0.6M YoY) on product development and reimbursement lobbying; selling & marketing rose on tradeshows and clinical studies .

Management Commentary
- “Our financial performance was tracking ahead of expectations … yet domestic sales momentum was impacted by a proposed Local Coverage Determination (LCD) to limit the reimbursement for ultrasound when used with our SRT-100 Vision™ … In July Medicare proposed a Physician Fee Schedule to align outpatient SRT payments with the higher hospital rates … if finalized, will be effective as of January 1, 2026.” — CEO Joe Sardano .
- “We shipped 19 SRT systems during the quarter, including four to China … FDA treatment volume increased 27% sequentially vs Q1.” — CEO Joe Sardano .
- “The LCD and the proposed physician fee schedule are actually two separate items … we’re very, very thrilled to see that the proposal would actually make it … about a 300+% increase in the delivery code for SRT.” — President & GC Michael Sardano .
- “Our balance sheet remains strong as we ended the quarter with $22.2M in cash and no debt.” — CFO Javier Rampolla .
- “This agreement [ROS] … supports broader adoption of SRT in complementary care settings. We anticipate this relationship will begin to yield tangible results later this year.” — CEO Joe Sardano .
Q&A Highlights
- Reimbursement clarity: Management views the LCD (ultrasound utilization) and PFS (delivery code increase) as separate; they expect LCD not to take effect given lobbying and evidence (including NIH study), while the proposed PFS could materially improve outpatient reimbursement .
- Large customer pause: A key customer paused purchases due to uncertainty; management expects resumption once clarity is achieved, potentially driving end-of-year deliveries .
- International and ROS offsets: China shipments and MDSAP-enabled markets (Japan/Taiwan/Brazil/Australia) plus ROS channel ramp could mitigate near-term softness; initial ROS orders could emerge by Q4 2025 .
- Capital spending environment: Management cited Section 179 expensing limit increase to $1M as supportive of equipment purchases .
- Timeline expectations: CMS decision could come by Q4; if earlier, Q3 impact may be reduced; otherwise Q3 is at risk of softness .
Estimates Context
- Q2 2025: Revenue $7.32M vs $9.30M consensus (miss ~21%); EPS $(0.06) vs $0.01 consensus (miss $0.07). 5 revenue and 4 EPS estimates contributed to consensus *.
- Q1 2025: Revenue $8.34M vs $7.23M consensus (beat ~15%); EPS $(0.16) vs $0.02 consensus (miss $0.18) *.

Key Takeaways for Investors
- Near-term setup: Expect muted U.S. capital sales until LCD clarity; watch for CMS updates in Q4 and potential Q3 softness per management commentary .
- Strategic offsets: International expansion (MDSAP) and ROS channel development can diversify away from domestic dermatology concentration and large-customer dependence .
- Recurring revenue traction: FDA program is scaling, with sequential treatment volume growth and new contracts signed; this supports utilization-led revenue beyond capital sales .
- 2026 reimbursement catalyst: If PFS is finalized, outpatient SRT reimbursement alignment with hospital rates could expand adoption and improve unit economics; position ahead of that inflection .
- Margin recovery hinges on mix: Rebound in capital system sales to key accounts and scaling of service efficiency are essential to lift gross margin back toward historical levels .
- Pipeline optionality: TDI clearance could broaden product portfolio and open new revenue streams; monitor FDA feedback timing in 2025 .
- Trading lens: In the short term, stock likely reacts to reimbursement headlines (LCD/PFS) and hospital channel news (ROS orders); in the medium term, the thesis rests on reimbursement normalization plus diversified growth vectors (international, recurring, hospital oncology) .
