Sensus Healthcare, Inc. (SRTS)·Q3 2025 Earnings Summary
Executive Summary
- Q3 delivered a clean top/bottom-line beat vs S&P Global consensus: revenue $6.88M vs $6.31M* and EPS ($0.06) vs ($0.11)*, aided by steady FDA program utilization and shipments, despite YoY declines and margin compression .
- CMS published first-ever dedicated CPT codes for SRT, raising per-fraction delivery reimbursement by “300%+,” which management views as a major long-term demand catalyst; management expects break-even or profitability in Q4 as pent-up demand converts and new codes take effect January 1 (per management) .
- Mix and cost headwinds persisted: units sold fell to 16 (vs 27 LY), gross margin compressed to 39.1% (from 59.1% LY), and R&D/OpEx elevated due to coding/reimbursement lobbying and product development .
- Balance sheet remained strong (cash $24.5M, no debt) with ~100 systems in inventory, positioning Sensus to respond to demand as reimbursement normalizes and international expansion (MDSAP-enabled) ramps .
What Went Well and What Went Wrong
-
What Went Well
- CMS finalization of SRT CPT codes: “increase in SRT delivery code reimbursement per fraction of more than 300%,” expected to stabilize ROI for dermatology offices and strengthen adoption over time .
- FDA program momentum: Q3 FDA treatment volume increased 20% QoQ and 52% vs Q1; 21 FDA sites active and 11 pending to go live .
- Liquidity/fulfillment capacity: exited Q3 with $24.5M cash, no debt, and “nearly 100 systems in inventory,” improving readiness for demand acceleration .
-
What Went Wrong
- Revenue and units sold down YoY on lower shipments to a large U.S. customer; Q3 revenue $6.9M (–21.6% YoY) and 16 units vs 27 LY .
- Margin compression from mix/service and placement program costs: gross margin 39.1% vs 59.1% LY; gross profit $2.7M vs $5.2M LY .
- Elevated operating expenses: R&D $1.8M (vs $0.9M LY) reflecting reimbursement lobbying and next-gen development; S&M and G&A also higher YoY; led to net loss ($0.9M) vs LY profit $1.2M .

Guidance Changes
Management did not provide explicit numerical revenue/margin/tax guidance for Q4/FY. Narrative suggests demand acceleration as CPT codes become effective and pent-up pipeline converts .
Earnings Call Themes & Trends
Management Commentary
- “CMS published first-ever dedicated CPT codes for superficial radiotherapy… increase in SRT delivery code reimbursement per fraction of more than 300%… very well received as we provide pro formas” — Joe Sardano, CEO .
- “We shipped 16 SRT systems, including three to China… FDA treatment volumes increased 20% from the second quarter… exited the quarter with $24.5 million in cash and no debt… nearly 100 systems in inventory” — CEO .
- “These new codes narrow the gap between office-based reimbursement and hospital outpatient rates… enable strengthening adoption for SRT” — CEO .
- “We have initiated an expanded R&D program… Sentinel 2.0… expect initial results in 2026” — President/GC .
- On ultrasound: “CMS… gave the ultrasound for the first time its own code… value a little lower than we want… we’ll continue to work on that valuation” — President/GC and CEO .
- “We’re pretty good to be on line to either hit break-even or be profitable for the fourth quarter… pent-up demand” — CEO (Q&A) .
Q&A Highlights
- Reimbursement impact: Management expects the 300%+ per-fraction increase to offset ultrasound changes and improve physician ROI; both SRT-100 and Vision benefit; ultrasound has a new code but with lower initial value the company aims to improve .
- Demand conversion and pipeline: Pent-up orders should begin converting; 11 pending sites expected to go live in Q4; expectation for Q4 break-even/profitability .
- Product mix: Possible uplift in SRT-100 demand post-coding; Vision sustained through Sentinel 2.0 capabilities .
- International: With MDSAP and early traction (China shipments, JASTRO in Japan), management targets ~20% revenue mix from international in 12–24 months .
- LCD effect: Management views prior LCD concerns as largely moot given CMS’ new structure; ultrasound imaging receives explicit recognition via its own code .
Estimates Context
- Q3 2025 beat: Revenue $6.88M vs $6.31M consensus*; EPS ($0.06) vs ($0.11) consensus* — a top- and bottom-line beat that should support near-term estimate stability or upward revisions for Q4 on management’s break-even/profitability commentary .
- FY 2025 consensus stands at revenue $31.19M* and EPS ($0.325); FY 2026 at revenue $45.15M and EPS $0.01* — new CPT codes and targeted demand acceleration could bias outer-year revenue/EPS upward if execution and site activations ramp as expected .

Key Takeaways for Investors
- The structural reimbursement upgrade (first-ever SRT CPT codes; 300%+ per-fraction increase) is a significant multi-year catalyst likely to improve adoption and ROI across both SRT-100 and Vision systems .
- Q3 beat vs consensus with continued FDA utilization growth and a solid cash position sets the stage for Q4 break-even/profitability if pending sites go live and pent-up demand converts as planned .
- Near-term headwinds persist: lower unit volume to a large customer, margin pressure from service/placement costs, and elevated OpEx for lobbying and development; watch for mix normalization and service cost efficiencies into 2026 .
- Inventory (~100 systems) and MDSAP-enabled global access provide capacity and optionality to capture demand; international mix could trend toward ~20% over 12–24 months if distributor pipelines mature .
- Street models may lift Q4 and 2026 assumptions for revenue/EPS given reimbursement clarity and FDA program momentum, while FY25 full-year profitability appears unlikely after Q1–Q3 losses; monitor conversion pace, margins, and ultrasound code valuation progress .
- Stock reaction catalyst: reimbursement inflection plus Q4 profitability potential; execution on site activations and order conversion over the next 1–2 quarters will be key to sustaining a re-rating .
