Thank you, Shamali, and as always, thank you to all of the investors, analysts and biopharma partners listening to today's call. We remain both committed to and focused on developing a complete neuro ecosystem capable of delivering various minimally invasive treatments, including cell and gene therapies, to the brain. We believe that this approach will finally unlock hope for the patients and their families who are battling these frightening neurologic disorders and who today have very few options to choose from. This is one of the, 2026 on a strong note by achieving record revenue of $12.1 million for the quarter, driven primarily by organic devices growth of 25%, which includes our historical drug delivery cannulas, navigation disposables, laser ablation applicators, capital systems and software.
This revenue was complemented by inorganic device growth from our acquisition of the new IRRAflow product line, which pushed our overall growth rate to 43% company-wide. We continued to realize meaningful revenue and cost synergies as a result of our new completed acquisition of IRRAS. With the majority of post-merger and a great drug delivery ecosystem more refined and more accessible to biopharma partners, surgeons, and to patients globally. We believe that we are truly a unique hybrid device biotech enabling company that not only has an existing revenue plan of more than $50 million today, but a completely untapped and expansive opportunity in commercial cell and gene therapy delivery built for tomorrow.
Our strategy now includes more than 60 active biopharma partners, more than 25 existing clinical trials across more than 15 different disease indications, and more than 10 partner programs that are already under some form of FDA expedited review. That is a significant head start, and through both our team and our investment into this portfolio, we intend to extend our lead. With that, I will turn the call over to Danilo D'Alessandro, our CFO, who will walk through the financial detail after which I will give a more strategic update on our progress. Danilo.
Thank you, Joe, and thank you all for joining us today. Looking at the first quarter 2026 results, total revenue was $12.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, and $8.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, which represents 43% growth versus the first quarter of 2025 and 16% organic growth. Our revenue is made up of three components, Biologics & Drug Delivery, Neurosurgery Navigation and therapy. This increase was mainly due to an increase in product revenue of $0.1 million. B&D service revenue was in line with prior year. Neurosurgery Navigation revenue consists of commercial sales of disposable products and services related to cases utilizing the ClearPoint System, the Prism laser system and IRRAflow.
This revenue segment grew to $5.9 million for the first quarter of 2026, including $2.1 million in IRRAflow disposable revenue. The growth in this segment was primarily due to our increased installation base and the full market release of our Prism laser system and ICT solution. Capital equipment and software revenue consisting of sales of our reusable hardware and software and related services increased 177% to $1.4 million in the quarter from $0.5 million for the same period in 2025, due to an increase in the placements of ClearPoint navigation system, Prism laser units and IRRAflow control units. Gross margin for the first quarter 2026 was 64%, an increase of 4% compared to 60% in Q1 2025, mostly related to a decrease in excess and obsolete inventory reserves.
Research and development costs were $4.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $3.4 million for the same period in 2025, an increase of $1.1 million. Sales and marketing expenses were $6.7 million for Q1, compared to $3.8 million for the same period in 2025, an increase of $2.9 million or 75%. This increase was due primarily to additional personal cost of $1.9 million, an increase in travel cost of $0.5 million, resulting from the expansion of our clinical and sales teams due to the IRRAS integration, as well as additional amortization expense of acquired intangible assets of $0.2 million.
General and administrative expenses were $5 million for the first quarter, an increase of $0.9 million or 22%. This increase was due primarily to higher occupancy costs of $0.7 million and higher personnel cost of $0.2 million. As of March 31, 2026, we held cash and cash equivalents totaling $35.6 million as compared to $45.9 million at December 31, 2025. The cash reduction was primarily due to the operational cash burn of $8 million in Q1 2026 and $2 million due to payments for taxes related to net share settlement of equity awards. We expect the operational cash burn to decrease in the coming quarters as we complete the IRRAS integration. I'd like now to turn the call back to Joe.
Thank you, Danilo. We look to build upon a successful first quarter and continue to expect 2026 revenue to be in the range of $52 million-$56 million. We are also pleased to report that our first quarter burn came in on budget from what we were expecting. As a reminder, the first quarter each year has historically been our highest burn quarter, driven by annual employee bonuses, timing of FICA taxes, additional withholdings, and several once-a-year expenses. This year, the first quarter also included a number of one-time events related to post-merger integration costs after the acquisition of the IRRAS assets. Additionally, gross margin expanded 64%. Now, although gross margin can fluctuate from quarter to quarter, it is encouraging that our first full quarter with the IRRAS technology came in slightly ahead of our pre-integration projections.
As always, let's now turn to our four pillar growth strategy for a bit more detail. As a quick reminder, our four pillars consist of the following segments. Number one, pre-commercial Biologics & Drug Delivery products and services. Number two, Neurosurgery Navigation and robotics. Number three, laser therapy and access. Number four, neurocritical care and active CSF exchange. These are the four markets that we participate actively in today, and pretty much 100% of our current revenue is coming from these four markets. In 2026, we expect all four of these segments to each grow double digits. For clarity's sake, this does not include any revenue from the commercial launch of cell and gene therapies, which we expect to start in the years ahead upon appropriate global drug approvals. First, let's start with pillar number one, pre-commercial Biologics & Drug Delivery.
The team has made substantial progress building out the ClearPoint Advanced Laboratories facility in Torrey Pines, California, affectionately known as the CAL. This new facility will become a common starting point for our relationship with biopharma partners to perform benchtop and preclinical studies, as well as troubleshoot workflows to build custom devices and software that are drug and target specific. Despite the fact that the facility was significantly limited for most of the month of March for planned construction projects, we were still able to perform numerous studies in the first quarter, which included multiple new routes of administration, which were tested for the very first time by the ClearPoint team.
This demonstrates not only our ability to co-develop new products with partners, but also shows how we expect our drug delivery portfolio will continue to grow in the future, often with new techniques and new intellectual property that we are building alongside of our partners. Additional progress was made globally, evidenced by a record number of clinical trial patients enrolled across numerous indications. We also performed our first ever commercial drug delivery procedure using ClearPoint technology in the Asia Pacific region. Our biopharma partners need to know that their therapies can reach patients anywhere in the world, and our commitment to global availability of our ecosystem delivers on exactly that. To integrate the IRRAflow product line into our portfolio.
The IRRAflow dual lumen catheter is a flexible, multi-day placement catheter that we expect to address a gap in our drug delivery offerings by providing extended access to the brain, a capability that we did not have in our portfolio until now. I can say that we have already had multiple meetings with interested researchers and plan to provide updates later this year on this new option for our partners. Moving on to pillar number two, which is neuro navigation and robotics, where we have made some tremendous progress recently as well. Our successful launch of the 3.x platform continues in the U.S., and that expanded to Europe with the very first 3.x case performed there in Q1.
The subsequent approval in Canada has also yielded multiple interested parties. Our first clinical cases ever performed in Canada are expected here in the near future. Numerous demonstrations of our prototype ClearPoint robotic platform, which prioritizes cranial procedures, have been extremely well received and have repeatedly highlighted our unique understanding of the cranial drug delivery space. It is important to remember that we are leveraging more than 15 years of software development focused on the brain. This historical investment into our KUKA LBR Med robotic arm. One highlight to share is that we recently performed our first-ever preclinical drug delivery case at our CAL facility using this robotic platform, and the results were better than expected. We plan to offer this system for use in preclinical biopharma studies at the CAL facility to our more than 60 active partners.
For pillar number three, laser therapy and access, our biggest highlight of the quarter was the FDA clearance of the Velocity Alpha MR high-speed surgical drill system manufactured by our partner, adeor medical AG. We believe this drill will be an attractive solution for surgeons compared to our historical hand-operated twist drill. This device operates at more than 75,000 RPM, and when using our custom drill bits, we expect to meaningfully reduce procedure times. These efficiency gains were already evident during the very first-ever clinical procedure performed with the drill just a couple of weeks ago for one of our partners' cell therapy clinical trial.
Additionally, we were pleased to announce just today that the drill has now received CE marking in Europe as well, which expands the system's availability beyond the U.S. and provides a scalable pathway to support neurosurgical procedures and therapy adoption globally, including across our European partnered biologic programs. Our Prism laser therapy system continues to be a highly competitive solution in the market, with multiple installs, evaluations, and purchases completed in the first quarter. As a quick reminder, our newly expanded labeling now includes both 3.0 and 1.5 Tesla scanners, which has significantly expanded our potential customer base compared to where we were a year ago. Last but not least, pillar number four, which is neurocritical care and active CSF exchange, is made up of the various IRRAflow assets included in the acquisition of the IRRAS at the end of 2025.
This is a completely new market for ClearPoint, but an important one as it fits into our two-phase strategy perfectly. Number one, it adds a flexible indwelling catheter to our Biologics & Drug Delivery portfolio, a capability we've historically lacked, opening up a new potential pathway for drug delivery to the brain. In the first quarter, we have successfully merged our commercial teams together, including initial cross-training on the devices. With the sales integration now behind us, we expect to continue to grow this business in 2026 and in the years ahead. Having mapped out multiple revenue and cost synergies, we believe that the addition of the IRRAflow assets could potentially be cash neutral for ClearPoint as early as 2027 or next year.
Globally, we now have more than 175 active sites using some form of ClearPoint technology and expect that number to surpass 200 by the end of 2026. This site expansion not only allows ClearPoint technology to be available to more hospitals and patients worldwide, but it also enables the scaling of our business model, including the expert clinical support for which we are very well-respected in the neurosurgical community. With that, I would like to open up the call to any questions.
Thank you. We will now be conducting a question-and-answer session. If you would like to ask a question, please press star one on your telephone keypad. A confirmation tone will indicate your line is in the question queue. You may press star two to remove yourself from the queue. For participants using speaker equipment, it may be necessary to pick up the handset before pressing the star keys. One moment please while we pull for questions. Our first question comes from the line of Frank Takkinen with Lake Street Capital Markets. Please proceed with your question.
Great. Thank you for taking the questions. I was hoping to start with one in pillar one, and kind of a two-part question and a little unrelated, so sorry if it's a little lengthy, but part one would be related to can you just give us a update from ClearPoint's standpoint, the current state of affairs or clinical backdrop at the FDA? Obviously, there's been some headlines around some leadership changes, and I'm just curious how this has impacted some of your interactions. Do you foresee maybe some of those conversations becoming a little bit more efficient in the future with different leadership and anything else that's important there? That's part one. Part two, one of your partners was acquired by UCB or pending acquisition.
Just was curious if you could provide any updates related to your partner activities, ongoing there that you're able to discuss. Thanks, sorry again for the lengthy question.
Frank, I expect nothing less than multi-part questions for you. Thanks for asking. The first one relative to the FDA, you know, there's two different groups at the FDA that we generally work with, which, you know, part on the devices side and then part on the combination devices side, which definitely has a component of biologics to it. On the devices side, we've seen very little change. We've seen incredible cooperation. We've hosted multiple pre-submission meetings with a team that's been pretty well intact. You know, we haven't seen anything negative at all on that side. It's been very positive, you know, for really years now at this point. That includes conversations we've had with the newly acquired IRRAS assets as well.
If you think about the traditional device part of the business, we have not seen very much difference. If anything, I think it's going smooth. On the biologic side, you know, we're not always privy to each and every one of these questions, but obviously you can't read a headline today without, you know, understanding that there's been incredible confusion at the FDA, confusion on some of the feedback that had been provided across multiple ClearPoint partners, and I'm sure likely others as well. I think everyone is looking for really that confusion, I think, to halt more than anything else as the first step.
My understanding is where we are with the newly selection or for both the Head of CBER as well as the Head of the FDA itself, we're still a little bit in a waiting mode here to see what that final decision is. Now certainly, any appointment to either one of those roles, from someone who, you know, is not only incredibly competent in the device, the biologic space, statistical, clinical trial design, et cetera, that would be very welcome. Of course, anyone who's, you know, gone through the gauntlet of how difficult it is to enroll these incredibly complex clinical trials, I think would also be viewed as a positive, not just by ClearPoint, but the entire community as well.
You know, we're anxiously awaiting as well to see what those final decisions look like and the sort of the ability to get started. On the second question relative to, I believe you're talking about the Neurona acquisition by UCB. Again, that was, I think, a very positive. The Neurona team is still very much intact, very much working alongside us. From our standpoint, we've had a wonderful relationship with UCB for many years now as well. It's kind of two of our partners sort of coming together and getting the benefits of both teams at that time. We expect to continue to support the Neurona asset as it moves into their phase III, phase III pivotal trial as we speak.
Just one quick thing I would bring up, Frank, 'cause it's a really important question too. It's kind of getting back to the FDA side of things. We need to remember that, you know, not to bucket everything together. There's sort of the rare disease side of things, which are things like Huntington's disease and, you know, a number of these very, very rare conditions that sit on sort of one side. Then there's the much higher volume, higher prevalence diseases like epilepsy, Parkinson's, et cetera. When the FDA had given guidance in the past to provide expedited review for these programs to try to accelerate their pathway to market, the larger market opportunities were always in a position where they were gonna be doing some form of a pivotal phase III study.
When this sort of confusion arose to some extent where it was argued that, you know, it, some of the decisions had been changed or some of the guidance had been changed, I don't personally believe that that's impacted disorders on the other side with these rare diseases, where it's just incredibly difficult to do one of these randomized sham studies because surgeons are not necessarily comfortable enrolling patients, and patients themselves might feel like they're missing a chance to experiment with other studies if they're waiting for one in a situation where they don't even get the experimental drug. They were just given a placebo. The practicality of some of these rare disease studies is really the thing that was the biggest question that we had seen.
Got it. Very helpful. Maybe for my second one, just help us through kinda low end versus high end of guidance. What are some of the key variables you're tracking that might push you towards one of those two ends?
Yeah, I mean, I would say the largest factor there is really the continued investment and preparation of the preclinical services that we're providing at the new CAL facility. You know, as you've seen, you know, throughout our history, there's always choppiness from quarter to quarter. The thing I would point out there is that we're still very much not fully operational yet and under capacity, and I view that as kind of a positive. In Danilo's comments he made, he mentioned that our preclinical services, our Biologics & Drug Delivery services were flat year-over-year. What I would point out is sort of twofold. If you think about our new facility, think of it this way. This is not a perfect analogy, at least gives you some context.
We pretty much have three floors of that facility. Of those three floors, we have only taken control of one of them, and these are all three revenue generating floors for benchtop testing, for analytics, for histology, you know, you name it. To even start the quarter, we only had one third of that revenue generating space, if you will. Even if you look at the 1/3 we had, there was an entire month of March where we weren't doing studies because we were finishing completion of some of the construction there as too.
If you think about estimating capacity of what that facility could do for us, you know, we still came in, you know, in the millions of dollars, but we, you could argue we were like 2/9 or 20% of, you know, what our actual capacity is. We're significantly subscale on that as well. You know, we expect if you think by the end of Q2, early Q3, we should be getting close to taking the first floor over, the second floor, if you think of it in my analogy. By Q1 of 2027, we'd have the full facility completed. It's gonna be this kind of, sort of, stable, but increase over the next year or so, maybe in the next 18 months.
You know, to answer your question, when those facilities and studies get booked is really the biggest driver of that range in guidance.
Got it. Okay. Very helpful. Thank you.
Sure.
Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Tom Stephan with Stifel. Please proceed with your question.
Great. Hey, guys. Thanks for taking the questions. Maybe as a follow-up to Frank's prior question, Danilo, maybe for you, can you talk a bit about revenue cadence for the year as we think about the guide, and notably as we consider, I'd say IRRAflow synergies that you've talked about. And then as a tack on, can you give us a sense for, you know, within your range, how much of the mix is kinda base business versus versus IRRAflow? And then I'll have a follow-up.
Yeah, the way I would think about it is with sequential growth potentially quarter-over-quarter for the remainder of the year. It will be gradual, but we expect it to be somewhat consistent over the next three quarters. With regard to the IRRAflow side of things, we expect it to grow, and it still accounts for in that 20%-25% of our total business. That's what we expect between now and the end of the year.
Got it. That's great.
Tom, the only thing maybe I'd add there as well is that, you know, as we mentioned at the beginning, in the first half of the year, our European extent, while the U.S. continues to kind of fire here in the first half. There could be a little bit of a lag there relative to when, sort of outside of the U.S. IRRAflow kicks in because of some of these changes. Again, it, you know, it's I wouldn't say it's just noise. I mean, I think it's real, but it's not something that's gonna change the math of our revenue for the year.
Got it. That's great. Appreciate that. Then I guess moving down the P&L, if you will, sort of a two-parter again. Gross margin, really nice step up in 1Q. Joe, can you talk about kind of puts and takes specifically around IRRAflow? I know you mentioned it can fluctuate, but is this mid-60% range potentially sustainable moving forward? Then sort of similarly on OpEx, Joe, you mentioned some one-timers. How much were those? What's kind of the right OpEx run rate moving forward for 2026? Thanks.
You know, quarter to quarter there's definitely gonna be some fluctuation. I mean, it could be down next quarter and then up the one after that. It's nice to get a good one under our belt for the first quarter. But we are still very much subscale in just about everything that we do, including IRRAflow. If you think about what took place in Q1, we shut down the IRRAflow factory that was in San Diego, and we moved all of their operations and employees over to our Carlsbad facility.
If you think of it something that showed up on the G&A, for example, as an increase, you know, we have an empty building right now that we're in the process of subleasing, to go ahead and, you know. That's one of those very obvious cost synergies that we've already done all the work to move everything over, and now it's just finding a tenant to take over the lease. Those are the types of things. You know, multiply that times 10 or 15 different opportunities with redundant vendors, with the ability to have some sort of negotiating power with our vendors of just, you know, raw materials, putting more and more products through our factory.
Even on the sales and marketing side, to be able to have our clinicals travel less because the volume has increased across our portfolio in different cities. You know, with gas prices where they are and travel expenses where they are, that's a very, very meaningful part of the strategy too that's, that doesn't hit our gross margin, but it helps, it's definitely gonna help us on the SG&A side of things.
Got it. Thanks, guys.
Thank you.
Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Mathew Blackman with TD Cowen. Please proceed with your question.
Hey, Joe, Danilo. Thanks for taking my questions. Can you hear me okay?
Yes.
Yes, loud and clear.
Great. Well, good to hear your voices. Clearly a lot has happened since I last had the opportunity to be on a ClearPoint call. On that theme, sort of a big picture question. You're now more evolved, four phase, five-growth pillar strategy, I think with a combined $500 million long-term revenue target. Here's another multi-part question for you. Question one, do you have all the key pieces in place today to hit that $500 million number some, you know, time in the future, or are there still platforms or services you need to roll in to make that number achievable? Part two is there a way to get to that $500 million target faster inorganically?
Are there assets out there that have technology and revenue bases that could help accelerate your pathway? How do you evaluate that pathway versus getting there organically? I do have one follow-up question.
Yeah. You know, the first question was around do we have all the parts to build this spaceship and get to our destination here? And I think the answer is yes. I would say it in the way that there's still refinements in our portfolio, but we have control of the portfolio. I'll give you a perfect example of that is our robotics platform. You know, we do not have an FDA-cleared robot today. We have one that we are doing preclinical cases with for pharma partners, so it's functional in the preclinical setting.
We have every confidence in this program because of the development that KUKA has put into the robotic arm development and parallel to what we have done over 15 years for our software development. It's not that we're dependent on something inorganic or dependent on something that requires invention or luck. You know, these are things that I think are execution. Once we have a robotic platform and arguably become the only company where you have one software that can be done in the MRI, using the same frame and ICT and then also with a robot as well, you know, I think that's something that, especially if our pharma partners support it as their robot of choice, I think that's gonna differentiate us and give us a right to win.
If you think about other things that are out there inorganically, you know, it's interesting. If we're not gonna cross into neurovascular, and we're not gonna go out of the brain or implant something into the brain, which dramatically increase sort of complexity and costs and patient outreach and neurology call points and things like that, you know, there aren't that many assets that are out there. It's interesting because the reason for that is so few patients go through is access, improvements to reimbursement and arguably most importantly, availability, you know, final commercial availability of cell and gene therapies and other drugs that can be restorative and not ablative or not be an implant, which I think patients are very likely, from what we understand, to pursue first.
You know, our focus is really getting these therapies across the finish line and then working alongside 50 or 60 pharma partners to educate neurologists, educate patients that they're available, which is something that I think will scale us quite a bit. That's why I'm saying I don't think we're dependent on something inorganic to get there.
Got it. That's really helpful. The follow-up for you as well, Joe. Some of the IRRAflow catheter. Look, I appreciate it's still very early days, but feeling any interest from current or even potentially new biopharma partners in using the indwelling delivery option. Maybe Danilo, if you could, just how would the IRRAflow catheter, even if just in the roughest terms, differ from a business model or economic standpoint if it, in the future, was co-labeled with a drug versus what you have in place with the SmartFlow Cannula? Any help there? Thanks, guys.
Yeah. I think, I'd say yes, we've absolutely had discussions with partners and research centers. We host a meeting called IGNITE every year, you know, we had a number of different research ideas that came out of that where they, the researcher themselves was already planning to execute a study using an off-the-shelf device called an EVD or an external ventricular drain, which is a very, very common procedure. You know, IRRAflow is arguably a next generation EVD because it's dual lumen, it allows you to actually put some sort of fluid as directed by a surgeon into the brain while it naturally drains instead of just draining and doing a sort of a bolus shot into there.
You know, the product arguably for these in-path, very simple EVD studies is kind of an obvious choice to switch to this as quickly as possible. It's really an education standpoint. As you pointed out, luckily, ClearPoint Neuro ideas and these technologies out of universities and academic centers. You know, there is a product out there today that could absolutely in our current IRRAflow product line, that could absolutely become an immediate substitute in some of these studies, and I think that's a very likely case.
Great. [crosstalk]
Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah, on the economic side, we expect IRRAflow margins to still be very healthy. Like Joe mentioned earlier, we're still pretty subscale. As it grows, we think the margins will keep expanding in that product portfolio. I think they already are, if you look at even 2026, just given the fact that we've consolidated facilities. From a business model perspective, we're gonna, you know, work with our partners. It's still very, very, very early, but we'd like to, of course, pursue similar ways of working that we've had with our, we've already tested and explored with our existing partners.
Got it. Thank you, guys. Appreciate it.
Yeah.
Sure.
Thank you. We have reached the end of the question and answer session. Therefore, I would like to turn the floor back over to CEO Joe Burnett for closing remarks.
Thanks again for joining our call today. Our team feels like we have built an incredible foundation on these four pillars today, which will support an exciting future of global commercial drug delivery, which our 60+ biopharma partners are making progress towards each and every day. We are on a path to helping treat tens of thousands of patients a year who suffer from many of the most frightening neurological diseases imaginable. We are thrilled to have you on our team supporting this vision and supporting us on the road ahead. Good night, everyone.
Thank you. This concludes today's

UFP Technologies (UFPT) Tops Q1 Earnings Estimates
UFP Technologies (UFPT) came out with quarterly earnings of $2.48 per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $2.18 per share. This compares to earnings of $2.47 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items. This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of +13.76%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this packaging company and component manufacturer would post earnings of $2.26 per share when it actually produced earnings of $2.44, delivering a surprise of +7.96%. Over the last four quarters, the company has surpassed consensus EPS estimates four times. UFP, which belongs to the Zacks Medical - Instruments industry, posted revenues of $154.2 million for the quarter ended March 2026, missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 2.09%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $148.15 million. The company has topped consensus revenue estimates just once over the last four quarters. The sustainability of the stock's immediate price movement based on the recently-released numbers and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's commentary on the earnings call. UFP shares have lost about 12.6% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's gain of 5.6%. While UFP has underperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors' minds is: what's next for the stock? There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company's earnings outlook. Not only does this include current consensus earnings expectations for the coming quarter(s), but also how these expectations have changed lately. Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in earnings estimate revisions. Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of earnings estimate revisions. Ahead of this earnings release, the estimate revisions trend for UFP was unfavorable. While the magnitude and direction of estimate revisions could change following the company's just-released earnings report, the current status translates into a Zacks Rank #4 (Sell) for the stock. So, the shares are expected to underperform the market in the near future. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong...

ClearPoint Neuro Q4 Earnings Call Highlights
2025 revenue rose to $37.0 million (from $31.4M), Q4 revenue was $10.4 million, gross margin held near 61–62%, and the company ended the year with $45.9 million in cash after raising ~$51.4 million from notes and a stock offering while using $23.9 million in operating cash. 2026 guidance is $52–56 million, but management excluded potential commercial revenue from certain rare‑disease partners after recent FDA guidance and also tempered expected European contribution while integrating the IRRAS acquisition. ClearPoint’s growth plan centers on four current pillars—biologics/drug delivery, neurosurgery navigation/robotics, laser therapy, and neurocritical management—with each targeted to grow double digits in 2026 and a future “fifth” pillar of commercial cell & gene therapy delivery supported by progress at its CAL facility and relationships with 60+ biopharma partners. Interested in ClearPoint Neuro, Inc.? Here are five stocks we like better. ClearPoint Neuro (NASDAQ:CLPT) reported higher revenue for both the fourth quarter and full year 2025 and outlined a two-phase growth strategy that management said is designed to expand the company’s presence across multiple neurosurgical markets while positioning for longer-term opportunities in cell and gene therapy delivery to the brain. For full-year 2025, ClearPoint Neuro posted total revenue of $37.0 million, up from $31.4 million in 2024. The 2025 total included $1.2 million of revenue from the acquisition of IRRAS Holdings, Inc., which closed on November 20, 2025. Gross margin was 61% for the year, in line with 2024. → Dollar Tree Planted the Seeds for Triple-Digit Gains in Q4 By revenue category, management described three components: Biologics and Drug Delivery: Revenue increased 10% to $19.0 million in 2025 from $17.3 million in 2024, which the company attributed primarily to increased product sales as pharmaceutical partners advanced development programs.

Please go ahead, sir.
Thank you. As always, thank you to all of the investors, analysts, and biopharma partners listening to today's call. We remain both committed to and focused on developing a complete neuro ecosystem capable of delivering various minimally invasive treatments, including cell and gene therapies to the brain. We believe that this approach will finally unlock hope for the patients and their families who are battling these frightening neurologic disorders and who today have very few options to choose from. This is one of the largest unmet needs in all of medicine, and we at ClearPoint Neuro, Inc. believe we can play a crucial role in this exciting future. Our company ended 2025 on a high note with the strongest financial quarter of the year, a newly acquired and commercialized neurocritical care product line, and genuine excitement for what is to come in 2026. Over the past five years, we have invested more than $100,000,000 and built a strong foundation to support our team and our goals moving forward. This foundation is made up of four growing product categories, a vetted pipeline of new development programs, an expanded manufacturing footprint, a thoroughly audited quality system, a collection of global regulatory approvals, an expansive IP portfolio, an installed base of more than 150 global centers, and the cash position and investor base to execute on our strategy. Most importantly, through our unique biologics and drug delivery ecosystem, we have attracted more than 60 active biopharma partners. We are participating in more than 25 active clinical trials. We are exploring therapies for more than 15 different indications, and currently more than 10 of our biopharma partner programs have now been accepted to some form of FDA expedited review. Our foundation is set, and our company has never been in a stronger position than we are right now. As we look ahead, we have now entered the next two phases of our growth strategy. The first phase, which we call Fast Forward, is to penetrate an existing $1,000,000,000 market opportunity made up of four distinct product segments: number one, pre-commercial drug delivery products and services; number two, neurosurgery navigation and robotics; number three, laser therapy and access; and number four, neurocritical management. We expect all four of these product lines to grow double digits in 2026 through the expansion of our commercial organization, approval of products in new geographies, additional site activations, generation and publication of new clinical evidence, and the execution and launch of new products in our development pipeline. The second phase which we are entering in parallel is called Essential Everywhere. This phase is different, as it requires us not to grow share in an existing market, but to build a completely new market that does not yet exist for commercial cell and gene therapy delivery. This is a market in which we believe that the unique ClearPoint Neuro, Inc. ecosystem will play an essential role. This ecosystem will include brain segmentation tools, predictive drug delivery modeling, pre-planning and navigation software, frame and robotics delivery options, drug loading and mechanized infusion technologies, an array of cell and gene therapy routes of administration, and post-procedure quality confirmation software to meticulously track proper delivery. All of these workflow steps will be supported by our talented team of clinical specialists and scientists who will be there in the room assisting our partners when these new-to-world therapies are finally commercialized. While the only gene therapy approved today for direct delivery to the brain is for a very rare disease, it is important to remember that this drug is in fact co-labeled with ClearPoint Neuro, Inc. technology, a trend we expect to continue in the future. As we look ahead to the full year 2026, we now expect revenues to be in the range of $52,000,000 to $56,000,000, which now takes into account a couple of factors, including the latest FDA communications regarding the potential approval and treatment of rare diseases, as well as the integration efforts and priorities surrounding our recent acquisition of Eris just a few months ago. I invite anyone listening to visit clearpointneuro.com. You can download a new version of our investor deck that should better communicate the vision and scale of our strategy. I will now turn the call over to our CFO, Danilo D’Alessandro, to walk through the prior year financial data, after which I will provide a bit more commentary on the road ahead. Danilo?
Thank you, Joe, and thank you all for joining us today. Let me start by looking at the full year 2025 results. ClearPoint Neuro, Inc. total revenues were $37,000,000 for the year ended 12/31/2025, compared to $31,400,000 in the year 2024. Our total 2025 revenue of $37,000,000 includes $1,200,000 of revenue from the acquisition of Eris Holdings Inc., which we completed on 11/20/2025. Revenue is made up of three components: biologics and drug delivery; neurosurgery navigation and therapy; and capital equipment and software. We include the EarFlo product line in our navigation and therapy segment. Biologics and drug delivery revenue includes sales of disposable products and services related to customer-sponsored preclinical and clinical trials. Biologics and drug delivery revenue increased 10% to $19,000,000 in 2025, up from $17,300,000 in 2024. This increase was primarily due to an increase in our product sales as our pharmaceutical partners advanced their development programs. Neurosurgery navigation revenue consists of commercial sales of disposable products and services related to the cases utilizing the ClearPoint Neuro, Inc. system to deliver medical therapy to the intended target. This revenue segment grew to $14,800,000 for the year 2025, including $1,200,000 in EarFlo revenue. The growth in this segment was mainly due to our increased installation base and the full market release of our PRISM Laser System and iCT solution. Capital equipment and software revenue consists of sales of ClearPoint Neuro, Inc. reusable hardware and software and related services, and was $3,100,000 for the year 2025. Gross margin for the full year 2025 was 61%, in line with the year 2024. Research and development costs were $13,900,000 for the year 2025, compared to $12,400,000 in 2024, an increase of $1,500,000, or 12%. The increase was due to higher product and software development costs of $1,200,000, an increase in personnel costs, including share-based compensation expense of $200,000, and additional costs due to the consolidation of Eris. Sales and marketing expenses were $16,500,000 for the year 2025, compared to $14,500,000 for the same period in 2024, an increase of $2,000,000, or 14%. This increase was due to higher personnel costs, including share-based compensation expense, of $1,400,000 resulting from increases in headcount in our clinical team, as well as increased cost of $900,000 due to the integration of Eris, partially offset by decreased marketing cost of $200,000 and decreased travel cost of $200,000. General and administrative expenses were $16,500,000 for the year 2025, compared to $12,000,000 for the same period in 2024, an increase of $4,500,000, or 38%. This increase was due primarily to severance expense of $1,400,000 in connection with the Eris acquisition, increased professional service fees of $1,000,000, higher personnel costs including share-based compensation of $900,000, higher information technology and software costs of $500,000, increased bad debt expense of $200,000, and additional cost of $200,000 related to the Eris acquisition. Net interest expense for the year 2025 was $1,200,000. Interest expense for the year 2025 was $2,400,000, compared with $450,000 for the year 2024. The increase was due to the issuance of notes payable in May and November 2025. I will now turn to the fourth quarter 2025 results. Total revenue was $10,400,000 for the three months ended 12/31/2025, in comparison to $7,800,000 for the three months ended 12/31/2024. Biologics and drug delivery revenue increased 23% to $5,200,000 in 2025. This increase is attributable to $1,100,000 of higher product revenue resulting from greater demand for disposables as multiple partners progressed in their trials, partially offset by lower service revenue of $100,000. Neurosurgery navigation and therapy revenue was $4,700,000 for 2025, from $2,900,000 for the same period in 2024. The increase is driven by an increased customer base and additional revenues due to the EarFlo product line acquisition completed in November 2025. Capital equipment, product, and related service revenue was $500,000 for 2025, a slight decrease compared to $600,000 in the same period in 2024. Gross margin was 62% for 2025, compared to a gross margin of 61% for the same period in 2024. Operating expenses for 2025 were $13,400,000, compared to $10,400,000 for 2024. The increase was mainly driven by the acquisition and consolidation of Eris’ financials and increased professional services fees. At 12/31/2025, the company had cash and cash equivalents totaling $45,900,000, as compared to $20,100,000 at 12/31/2024, with the increase resulting from the net proceeds of the notes payable and stock offering of $51,400,000 and cash acquired as part of the Eris acquisition of $1,100,000, partially offset by the use of $23,900,000 in cash for operating activities and $1,900,000 in cash paid for taxes related to the net share settlement of equity awards. Net cash flows used in operating activities for the year ended 12/31/2025 was $23,900,000, an increase of $15,000,000 from the year ended 12/31/2024. This increase was primarily due to a higher net loss of $6,600,000 and the paydown of accounts payable and accrued expenses of $10,600,000; $8,000,000 is related to liabilities assumed from the Eris acquisition as part of the purchase price and Eris acquisition-related transaction expenses. In addition, we had $1,100,000 of operational post-acquisition Eris expenses in Q4. We do not expect to incur cash outflows for the payment of assumed liabilities of a similar magnitude in future periods, as the paydown of the liabilities assumed in connection with the Eris acquisition represents a non-recurring event. I would now like to turn the call back to Joe.
Thank you, Danilo. As you can tell from our fourth quarter results, we ended 2025 on a strong note, with terrific momentum going into 2026. Now I will just spend a few minutes digging a bit deeper into our four-pillar growth strategy. As a reminder, our four pillars consist of the following segments: number one, pre-commercial biologics and drug delivery products and services; number two, neurosurgery navigation and robotics; number three, laser therapy and access; and number four, neurocritical management. These are the four markets that we participate actively in today, and pretty much 100% of our current revenue is coming from these four markets. In 2026, we expect all four of these segments to each grow in the double digits. In the future, expect to add our fifth pillar of growth, which would be commercial cell and gene therapy delivery as our biopharma partners continue to progress through the various global regulatory processes. To be clear, our existing revenue forecast for 2026 of between $52,000,000 and $56,000,000 does not include any meaningful expected revenue from commercial drug delivery, so any change to the FDA treatment of rare diseases or approvals of these drugs outside of the United States would be upside to this forecast. First, let us start with pillar number one, pre-commercial biologics and drug delivery. The team has made substantial progress building out the ClearPoint Neuro, Inc. Advanced Laboratories facility in Torrey Pines, California, affectionately known as the CAL. In 2025, we performed our very first preclinical study for a sponsor and continue to execute additional studies already here in 2026. While construction will not be complete until our scheduled grand opening in the second half of the year, we do have the capability now to do smaller studies, and we expect to add full GLP capability soon as well. We continue to support our talented biopharma partners as their cell and gene therapy treatments progress through the development, clinical, and regulatory process. We now have more than 60 active biopharma partners, we support more than 25 active clinical trials, and we have more than 10 partner programs that have been accepted to some form of FDA expedited review. For some perspective, if we look at only the programs under expedited review, which span across eight different indications, there would be more than two million patients in the United States alone that have indications that are being considered for expedited designation pathways. Treating just 1% of those patients, or about 20,000 patients a year, could deliver approximately $300,000,000 in annual revenue to ClearPoint Neuro, Inc. Keep in mind that modest assumption of procedure volume is not even high enough to treat the newly diagnosed patients each year, let alone provide care to the millions of patients already living with the disease. I can tell you from direct conversations with our partners that their ambition and expectations far exceed that number. I can also share with you that in 2025, we had the highest volume of clinical trial cases supported by our biologics and drug delivery team in our history. In the meantime, while we are waiting for these first-in-world treatments to successfully win approval, our existing and collaborative biopharma relationships combined with our unique neuro capabilities should position us to achieve 20% of the estimated $300,000,000 market for pre-commercial biologics and drug delivery products and services. To say it another way, we are participating in pre-commercial drug delivery today and plan to enter commercial drug delivery in the future, but we do not need these future drugs to be approved to generate meaningful revenue. Moving on to pillar number two, which is neuro navigation and robotics, we have made some tremendous progress recently. The launch of our 3.X software platform has been very successful, as we have added multiple new installations, especially in sites that are intent on using ClearPoint Neuro, Inc. not only in the MRI, but also in the operating room using CT imaging. The results from our limited market release were very positive, highlighting the advantages of our platform in accuracy, procedure time, radiation dose, and room turnover rate, which will enable multiple ClearPoint Neuro, Inc. navigation procedures to be performed in the same room each day. We expect the data from this early experience to be submitted for publication later this year. Our switch to a new European Notified Body has been successful, and the CE marking for the 3.X software represents a further step in establishing a successful certification track record under this new Notified Body. We expect that the 3.X software certification will go a long way toward consolidating our entire installed base under one software version to simplify training and to ensure our worldwide customers all have access to our latest software features. At the request of a number of pharma partners, we have now initiated the PMDA regulatory process in Japan and expect to perform our first cell therapy clinical trial cases sometime in the second half of this year. Our recently announced robotic platform is also making development progress, and we expect multiple product usability showcases with customers this year. Importantly, we plan to perform our very first preclinical studies using the ClearPoint Neuro, Inc. robotic platform at the new CAL facility before the end of this year. Again, given our unique MRI capabilities, our fast, simple, and predictable operating room performance, our clear focus on cranial robotic development, and our deep relationships with biopharma, which will fuel future volume, we believe that achieving 20% of the cranial navigation market is a reasonable goal to achieve in the years ahead. For pillar number three, laser therapy and access, we have made progress as well. In 2025, the PRISM system received FDA clearance expanding compatibility of the system with 1.5 Tesla power MRI scanners. This clearance gave us access to the other half of the U.S. laser therapy market, as previously we only had clearance for 3.0 Tesla strength magnets. As we look to 2026, we have now installed our first 1.5 Tesla sites and have proposals in front of numerous interested centers. In 2026, we expect additional pipeline progress as we seek European approval for PRISM, submit our Harmony 1.0 software including numerous PRISM visualization features, and publish our first tumor clinical trial enabled by PRISM to help us bridge beyond functional neurosurgery and into neuro-oncology. On the access side of the business, our drill partner Adior just this week received FDA clearance for the Velocity Alpha MR Conditional Power Drill, which is designed to reduce procedure time compared to our currently available hand twist drill. We are just now starting our limited market release and prioritizing early drug delivery sites and cases. These cell and gene therapy procedures often require multiple trajectories where we believe the Velocity MR drill will provide meaningful advantages and simplify the overall procedure. We believe that our laser therapy and access portfolio will continue to grow in popularity not only because of the many unique and differentiated features, but for the simple fact that the laser ablation workflow with ClearPoint Neuro, Inc. is arguably the most similar workflow to these future cell and gene therapy cases. In both laser and drug delivery, there are multiple different trajectories, there is the delivery of a volumetric therapeutic dose, there is the need for periprocedural catheter adjustments, and there is the need to include small, minimally invasive access points. Every laser procedure a hospital does with ClearPoint Neuro, Inc. today is getting their team more familiar with the drug delivery workflow of tomorrow. Practice makes perfect and permanent, and we continue to believe that achieving 20% of this total market is a reasonable near-term goal. And last but not least, pillar number four, which is neurocritical management and is made up of the various EarFlo assets included in the acquisition at the end of 2025. This is a new market for ClearPoint Neuro, Inc., but it is an important one as it fits our two-phase strategy perfectly. Number one, it allows us to participate today in an existing $500,000,000 market opportunity with a unique and differentiated product supported by growing clinical evidence. And number two, it gives us another drug delivery option for the brain that fills a historic gap in our portfolio for a flexible indwelling option. The EarFlo catheter is now being offered as yet another tool in our ecosystem that our biopharma partners can consider and trial for themselves at the CAL facility. The existing market for these intracranial procedures is arguably the largest that ClearPoint Neuro, Inc. can participate in today, and our clinical expertise, global reach, commercial footprint, and investment pipeline can only improve our chances to earn 20% of this approximately $500,000,000 market opportunity. All in all, we believe we have an excellent vision and strategy for the future of our company: Phase One to earn 20% of a combined $1,000,000,000 market opportunity, generate $200,000,000 in annual revenue, and get us comfortably to cash breakeven and profitability; and Phase Two to provide unwavering support to our unique ecosystem of drug delivery tools to help our biopharma partners treat the very first 1% of patients living with severe neurological diseases that has therapy candidates under FDA expedited review. If we accomplish these two goals, we will have built a $500,000,000 annual revenue business and helped a lot of patients along the way. These are the two phases of our company, and we are just getting started. We will now open for questions.
The first question comes from the line of Frank Takkinen with Lake Street Capital Markets. Please proceed.
Great. Thanks for taking the questions and appreciate the comprehensive update. I was hoping to start with a follow-up related to the 2026 guidance. I think you called out some of the most recent FDA communications around rare diseases, then integration efforts and priorities as a reason for tightening that guidance a little bit. Maybe talk a little bit more about each of those elements, what you may have previously incorporated into guidance and now what current assumptions incorporate into guidance. And then as it relates to that, big picture, how should we think about organic growth versus growth? Obviously, I can see growth with Eris in there, so maybe the right way is just how should we think about organic growth?
Yes. Thanks for the question, Frank. So starting with the first question, which has to do with what is kind of included in the guidance and where we could kind of go from there. There are two things that I cited in my prepared remarks. One was sort of the FDA current condition around rare diseases. And the second one is really digging deeper into the Eris acquisition and figuring out if the prior priorities are the same as the current ClearPoint Neuro, Inc. ones. So on the rare disease side of things, I think as many of our investors are aware, the current positioning that the FDA has communicated to at least two of our partners this year has been that sort of a more rigorous clinical trial strategy, which historically has been incredibly difficult to do for rare diseases to execute these traditional Phase III studies. So based on that information and how it would impact our two companies, or two biopharma partners, we have effectively taken out any and all revenue associated with the commercial launch of those particular products, and also just the understanding that it might take a while to really get to the bottom, you know, if and when the FDA were to change course there. So in the event that some good news is created, in the case of uniQure or the case of REGENXBIO, it is possible we would revisit that guidance. But for now, we think the most appropriate thing to do is base our guidance on the information that we have in hand, which is the latest information that those two biopharma partners have presented publicly. So that is really where we are on the rare disease side of things. I think it is important to note, however, that the vast majority of the biopharma partners we are working with are on more established and larger markets, sort of less rare diseases and more large volume patient populations. The majority of those partners were already planning to do that same Phase III sham study. So this newest FDA guidance, we do not believe it carries over to timelines relative to these larger populations because the expedited review process always included doing a Phase III study. What they were often allowed to do is skip Phase II and go directly to Phase III, but that large multicenter, geographically expansive sham study was always in the mix. So that is one half of the equation. The other one has to do with Eris itself, and, you know, the biggest thing I can point to there—again, it is a very exciting product. We are learning a lot every single day, meeting customers. As I mentioned, they had an existing revenue base last year in that $8,000,000 to $9,000,000 range, give or take. What I would say the biggest change that we have made is really in our Europe strategy, where we have kind of hit the reset button as we think about European expansion and, very specifically, which distributors we want to continue working with versus which ones we would like a fresh start with at this point. So, if anything, we maybe took a little bit out of our European revenue piece, just based on this latest information. But again, if something happens on the positive side, we always reserve the right to revisit that guidance in the second half of the year. But that is kind of what is embedded in the guidance itself. Then, Frank, what was the second question that you had there?
Underlying core growth. Organic growth.
Yes, I would say we expect it to be pretty balanced between the two. I think I did make that comment that we expect all four of our segments—and if you want to add capital equipment as a fifth segment, I think all five of those—we plan to grow double digits in the year. Now, quarter to quarter, there might be a little bit of noise here and there, but I think the development pipeline, the fact that our commercial organization today is significantly larger than it was a year ago, I think that new clinical evidence coming out in each one of those four categories, and we are getting familiar with the ClearPoint Neuro, Inc. and Eris team starting to work together. We think both organic and inorganic growth coming from Eris could be relatively balanced, but all in that double-digit range.
Got it. That is helpful. And then I was hoping to ask a little bit more about the core billion-dollar market and path to $200,000,000. If you envision yourself on the other side of the integration of Eris and you are back to a point where the business is all integrated, how should we think about the durable growth rate? And what I am trying to get at is that pathway from today around that $50,000,000 to $60,000,000 revenue range to $200,000,000. How long could that take and what kind of growth rates should we expect to see over time?
Yes. I mean, I think if we generally can grow in that 15% to 20%, maybe even north of 20% range for the foreseeable future, that assumes that we are taking 1.5% to 2% share pretty much each year across all four of those. And again, there could be differences that take place in each one of those markets. You know, for example, when we get our GLP capability for the CAL facility, and we earn our very first large GLP study on behalf of one of our biopharma partners, a single study could be in that $15,000,000 to $20,000,000 range. So we could see a large bump in any given year based on our capability being ready and then a biopharma company hiring us to do that work for them. So we could have a leap one year to the next in the biologics and drug delivery side. You know, similarly, on the EarFlo technology, there is a lot of clinical evidence being supported. There is a randomized clinical trial actually supported by Eris called the ARCH trial where we expect the data readout at some point later this year. So that is a very, very large market where EarFlo is a relatively new technology, where if we had clinical evidence that showed not only patient improvement but also some economic benefits for a hospital where a patient leaves the hospital sooner or has less complications during the procedure itself, those are things that could really swing market share pretty quickly because this is not a high intensive training product. This is one where we can ship a pump into that hospital the next day and we can be training residents 24 hours a day to get them familiar with the technology. So, where we cannot get to the point where we can outline exactly which one of those will be the primary driver any given year—other than this year, them all growing double digits—we do feel comfortable on that 15%, certainly 15%, maybe even 20% from an organic standpoint, until we get to that $200,000,000 number.
Helpful. And then last one, Joe, we get a lot of questions on just the attachment to uniQure and obviously the volatility around FDA's communication there. The question I wanted to ask was really focusing on the diversified offering. You have got BlueRock and Neurona's assets coming as the next most likely near-term, big market opportunities that should really exemplify the value of a diversified offering. Maybe just talk a little bit more about those assets, when they could be on the market, and then coming back to just the value of having so many partners in expedited review and kind of deemphasizing the attachment on just one singular asset and what the model looks like over time.
Yes. So, Frank, I do not want to comment on the timing of our partner programs. They give their updates when they prefer to. So I am just going to stick to what they have said. If you go to the websites of BlueRock, Neurona, some of these other companies as well, I think they shy away from giving actual timing updates and rather simply provide the status of the current program and what phase of clinical trial they are in. As I mentioned a second ago, we have a new investor deck that is just going live today, which I think puts some of that diversity and some of that staging into language that I think our biotech investors will better understand to show the scale of how many programs that we are in and then how many are in preclinical versus Phase I/II versus Phase III and even in the case of PTC when that is commercialized. So I would encourage you to take a look through that, and I think it will provide some feedback there as to where we are. The other thing I would bring up, however, is that even these Phase III trials can provide meaningful revenue to ClearPoint Neuro, Inc. So a typical Phase III study that we are seeing or we are participating in could be anywhere from 60 to 120 patients that are studied, sometimes randomized two-to-one in the test arm versus the control arm. A 120 patients times five, 10, 15 studies that could be going on at the same time could again be a very meaningful volume, maybe even a thousand patients a year, that would just be still in this clinical trial phase. So again, we do not count that in that Phase Two opportunity of commercial drug delivery, but it is supporting the growth, in addition to the CAL, of that pre-commercial biologics line. And I think as I mentioned in the remarks, Q4 was the largest volume we ever saw of drug delivery. So patients are raising their hand and enrolling in these trials, and we expect many more to start here in 2026.
Very helpful. Thank you.
The next question comes from the line of Anderson Schock with B. Riley Securities. Please proceed.
So first, you called out more than 10 partners in expedited review pathways now, so implying at least one new partner in these pathways since the last call. Could you provide any more color on the indication and population size for this new partner or partners?
Yes. In some cases, it has been a new indication. In some cases, it is redundant in an existing indication. So the two largest ones that are under expedited review today would be Parkinson's disease and drug-resistant epilepsy, the MTLE. So those are the two that are, I think, the largest existing populations. The ones in addition to that are anything from glioma to Friedreich's ataxia to Huntington's disease with uniQure, as mentioned before, to a couple other rare genetic disorders as well. So I think there are eight total indications and maybe 13 partners that are under FDA expedited review. So, again, we have a little bit of overlap—I think it is four or five in Parkinson's alone, for example. So it is nice because it gives us much higher confidence when you look at a disease state like Parkinson's with over a million patients in the United States that are really waiting for a superior treatment. We have five, maybe six partners that are already under expedited review. And maybe that treatment is not that far away, but just as importantly, we have got four, five, maybe six of these shots on goal that are under expedited review. Again, maybe every one of them does not make it all the way through the regulatory gauntlet, but if one, two, three of them get approved, we could be very successful there.
Okay. Got it. Thank you. And then you mentioned the first tumor clinical data for PRISM publishing this year, potentially expanding beyond functional neurosurgery and into neuro-oncology. How should we think of the timeline for this expansion in the TAM in neuro-oncology versus PRISM's current addressable market?
Yes. I would say it is really just a strength of our commercial team and how we are growing and evolving as well. If you think about the laser therapy market, it has historically been split between epilepsy and tumor, with functional neurosurgeons maybe doing the epilepsy procedures and neuro-oncologists doing the tumor procedures. Now, we are participating in tumor procedures today, but because of our navigation history, because of our biopharma partnerships, we have always been a little bit heavily weighted towards functional neurosurgery and movement disorders. So having a publication that is looking directly at our laser performance in a group of very sick tumor patients, I think, puts us in a situation where we can look customers in the eye and say yes, we are taking this very, very seriously, and we are going to be participating in multiple clinical trials moving forward, even if it is a customer base that we have not had quite the same experience as we have with functional.
Okay, got it. Thank you for taking our questions.
Yes. Thanks, Anderson.
Thank you. This concludes the question-and-answer session. I would like to turn the call back over to Joseph Burnett for closing remarks.
Well, thanks again for joining our call today. Our team feels like we have built an incredible foundation which will now serve as the launch pads for our two parallel strategies. We are on the path to helping treat tens of thousands of patients a year who suffer from many of the most frightening neurological diseases imaginable. Supporting this vision and supporting us on the road ahead.
Thank you. This concludes today's conference. You may disconnect your lines at this time. Thank you for your participation.
