Earnings Call Insights: Sensus Healthcare (SRTS) Q3 2025

MANAGEMENT VIEW

* Joseph Sardano, Co-Founder, Chairman & CEO, highlighted that “CMS published first-ever dedicated CPT codes for superficial radiotherapy in nonmelanoma, skin cancer and keloids. Not only do these codes validate SRT for this indication while providing reimbursement certainty, but they also represent an increase in SRT delivery codes reimbursement per fraction of more than 300% compared with the current codes being used.” He added that this message is “being very well received” and expects “strong interest with demand on the rise.”
* Management reported shipment of 16 SRT systems in the quarter, including 3 to China, bringing the global total to over 900 systems, with the 1,000 milestone targeted for 2026. Fair Deal Agreement (FDA) program treatment volumes increased by 20% from the second quarter and 52% compared to the first quarter, marking the third consecutive quarter of double-digit growth.
* Sardano noted, "We ended the quarter with $24.5 million in cash, up from approximately $22 million at the end of 2024,” and inventory of nearly 100 SRT systems, positioning the company well for anticipated demand.
* Michael Sardano, President, General Counsel, Corporate Secretary & Director, stated, “The goal of our lobbying efforts and the outcome of these new CPT codes is that the gap will now narrow between the office-based reimbursement and hospital outpatient rates. Leveling the playing field with hospital systems significantly strengthens the ROI for using SRT in dermatology offices and could expand adoption.”
* Michael Sardano also discussed ongoing development of the Sentinel software platform and announced the initiation of a multiphase R&D program for Sentinel 2.0, with initial results expected in 2026.
* Javier Rampolla, Chief Financial Officer, reported, “Revenues for the third quarter of 2025 were $6.9 million, compared with $8.8 million for the third quarter of 2024...

* The expanded R&D program for Sentinel 2.0 is underway, with initial results anticipated in 2026.

Q&A

* Anthony Vendetti, Maxim Group: Asked about the impact of LCD reimbursement changes and utilization trends.

* Vendetti followed up on pending U.S. placements and business pipeline. Sardano described pent-up demand due to previous order pauses and expects customers to “get in line to purchase and/or to implement the program this year.”
* Benjamin Haynor, Lake Street Capital: Inquired about product mix shift due to new reimbursement codes. Sardano stated, “...rather than having our -- the Vision product decrease, I think we're going to see an uptick in the SRT-100,” with development of Sentinel 2.0 expected to sustain Vision’s role.
* Eduardo Martinez-Montes, H.C. Wainwright: Asked about CPT code impact on utilization and international ramp.
