“ViewRay (VRAY) reported 2Q19 results, AMC, 8/8, and posted a top-line/adj. EPS/adj. EBITDA of $30.1M/$(0.27)/$(20.3M), vs. our/consensus’ estimates of $24.8M/$(0.26)/$(19.3M) and $25.9M/$(0.23)/$(21.1M), respectively. The top-line beat was primarily due to VRAY installing 5 MRIdian Linacs versus our expectation for 4. The bottom-line miss was due to higher opex. Meanwhile, management lowered its 2019 guidance, from a top-line of $111M-$124M and cash burn of $65M-$75M, to a top-line of $80M–$95M and cash burn of $80M-$90M. Guidance compared unfavorably to our/consensus’ previous top-line estimates of $118.1M/ $118.5M—our FCF estimate was $(68.3)M.”
