Q & A Highlights

Q: How does AtriCure view the competitive entry into the market, and what is the status of the LeAAPS trial? A: Michael Carrel, President and CEO, stated that the competitive entry validates the market’s importance and growth potential. AtriCure has established a leadership position and welcomes competition, which has historically increased their revenue growth rate. Regarding the LeAAPS trial, over 6,500 patients were enrolled, and the trial is ongoing with positive feedback from the DSMB. The trial aims to demonstrate stroke reduction in patients undergoing cardiac surgery without pre-op Afib.

Q: How has the new competitive entry in the Clip business been factored into AtriCure’s 2026 guidance? A: Angela Wirick, CFO, explained that the guidance for 2026 already considered potential competitive pressures. The company remains confident in its 12% to 14% growth guidance and is focused on expanding the adoption of the FLEX-Mini Clip to mitigate any competitive impact.

Q: What impact did the LeAAPS trial have on AtriCure’s AtriClip business, and were the devices used in the trial revenue-generating? A: Angela Wirick confirmed that AtriCure was paid for the devices used in the trial, with half of the devices being revenue-generating. The trial’s impact on revenue was minimal in any given quarter, and some surgeons who participated in the trial were already treating prophylactically, which balanced out potential revenue loss.

Q: What is the status of the EnCompass Clamp, and are there any new versions planned? A: Michael Carrel stated that there are no new product iterations planned for the EnCompass Clamp in the near term. The current version has significantly reduced procedure times and is gaining traction. The company is focusing on marketing and training to increase penetration, particularly in CABG procedures.

Q: How is AtriCure managing the rollout of the cryoXT device, and what is the expected impact on revenue? A: Michael Carrel explained that the rollout of cryoXT is deliberate, focusing on ensuring proper adoption and protocol establishment in each account before expanding. The company expects cryoXT to contribute more meaningfully to revenue in the latter half of 2026 as the rollout progresses.
