• The activated installed base across all ClearPoint technology including IRRAflow systems now includes over 175 global centers;

• Achievement of measurable revenue and cost synergies through the continuing integration of the IRRAflow product portfolio and team;

• Continued clinical trial and regulatory progress across more than 60 active biopharma partners;

• FDA clearance and successful completion of the first clinical procedure utilizing the Velocity Alpha MR High Speed Surgical Drill System;

• Received Medical Device License (MDL) from Health Canada for the ClearPoint Neuro Navigation System, covering both MRI-guidance and iCT guidance workflows with first cases now scheduled;

• Completion of the first commercial drug delivery case utilizing ClearPoint technology in the Asia-Pacific region;

"Our team is off to a strong start in 2026 with forward progress across our entire four-pillar growth strategy," commented Joe Burnett, President and CEO at ClearPoint Neuro. "While record revenue achievement and 25% organic devices growth made the headline, there is no shortage of meaningful strategic progress across the entire organization. This includes highlights from each pillar: multiple new drug routes-of-administration tested for the first time at the ClearPoint Advanced Laboratories, expansion of our navigation installed base globally, FDA clearance of the Velocity Alpha MR conditional drill that has now been used clinically for the first time, and the integration of the entire IRRAflow portfolio into the ClearPoint Neuro commercial and operations teams which will lead to meaningful revenue and cost synergies in the second half of 2026. We continue to believe that these four pillars will each contribute double digit growth in 2026, and represent a solid foundation on which to build our commercial cell and gene therapy delivery business in the future. Individual drug development programs of course come with inherent risk, however if you look across our entire portfolio of more than 60 partners and programs, every quarter we see partners getting funded or acquired, we see INDs being approved, we see more patients being recruited and enrolled in regulatory trials, and we see our partners getting closer and closer to pivotal data readouts. With more than 60 shots on goal across this portfolio, and having worked closely with the amazing teams doing this drug development, we feel more than ever that global approvals are not a matter of if, but when."

Business Outlook

The Company estimates revenue in 2026 to be between $52.0 million and $56.0 million.

Financial Results - Quarter Ended March 31, 2026

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 an increase of $3.6 million, or 43%.

Biologics and drug delivery revenue, which include sales of disposable products and services related to customer-sponsored preclinical and clinical trials utilizing our products, increased slightly to $4.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 from $4.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025.Of note the construction of the new CAL facility (ClearPoint Advanced Laboratories) is continuing, which is designed to the bring the CAL's capacity to the level expected in the years ahead.

Neurosurgery navigation, therapy and access revenue, which primarily consists of disposable product commercial sales related to cases utilizing the ClearPoint and IRRAflow systems, increased 80% to $5.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, from $3.3 million for the same period in 2025. The increase is driven by additional revenues from sales of the IRRAflow product of 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 March 31, 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 177% to $1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, from $0.5 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 64% on its sales for the three months ended March 31, 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 March 31, 2026, as compared to the same period in 2025.

Operating expenses were $16.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared with $11.3 million for the same period in 2025, an increase of 44%. The increase was mainly driven by higher personnel costs as a result of the expanded team due to the acquisition of IRRAS which occurred in November 2025, as well as increased occupancy costs and travel costs.

At March 31, 2026, the Company had cash and cash equivalents totaling $35.6 million as compared to $45.9 million at December 31, 2025, with the decrease resulting from the use of $8.0 million in cash for operating activities and $2.0 million in cash paid for taxes related to the net share settlement of equity awards. The Company expects cost synergies resulting from the acquisition of IRRAS to contribute to a reduction in cash burn in the second half of 2026 and believes that the asset integration could potentially be cash neutral for the full year 2027.
