Statement presentation and basis of consolidation

Statement presentation and basis of consolidation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) applicable to interim financial statements. In the Company’s opinion, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s statements of financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the fiscal year as a whole or any other future period.

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of CVRx, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary, CVRx Switzerland LLC. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

JOBS Act accounting election

JOBS Act accounting election

We are an emerging growth company under the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”). As a result, we have elected to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies.

Use of estimates

Use of estimates

Preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, cash equivalents consisted of money market funds, which are stated at cost and approximate fair value. Additionally, as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, a majority of our cash and cash equivalents were maintained with two financial institutions in the U.S., and our current deposits are likely in excess of insured limits.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts Receivable

Trade accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. Customer credit terms are established prior to shipment with the standard generally being net 30 days. We evaluate the collectability of our accounts receivable based on known collection risks and historical experience. In circumstances where we are aware of a specific customer's inability to meet its financial obligations to us, we record a specific allowance for bad debts against amounts due to reduce the carrying amount of accounts receivable to the amount we reasonably believe will be collected.

Inventory

Inventory

Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with cost determined on a first-in, first-out basis. We regularly review inventory quantities based on actual loss experiences, projected future demand and remaining shelf life to record a provision for excess and obsolete inventory when appropriate.

Leases

Leases

Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) asset, accrued expenses, and operating lease liability – non-current portion in our balance sheets. ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. We used the incremental borrowing rate based on information readily available at the time of recognition to determine the present value of the lease payments. The determination of our incremental borrowing rate requires management judgement based on information available at lease commencement.

Revenue recognition

Revenue recognition

We sell our products primarily through a direct sales force and to a lesser extent through a combination of sales agents and independent distributors. Our revenue consists primarily of the sale of our Barostim, which consists of two implantable components: a pulse generator and a stimulation lead.

Under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”), revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration that the entity expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. To determine revenue recognition for arrangements that an entity determines are within the scope of ASC 606, we perform the following five steps: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. We only apply the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that we will collect the consideration we are entitled to in exchange for the goods or services it transfers to the customer. We recognize net revenue on product sales, adjusted for any applicable estimates of variable consideration, when the customer obtains control of our product, which generally occurs at a point in time upon delivery based on the contractual shipping terms of a contract. Our contracts have a single performance obligation, and our payment terms with customers are generally between 30 and 90 days. Variable consideration related to certain customer rebates is estimated based on the amounts expected to be paid under the agreement with the customer.

Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-Based Compensation

We recognize equity-based compensation expense for awards of equity instruments to employees and non-employees based on the grant date fair value of those awards in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”). ASC 718 requires all equity-based compensation awards to employees and non-employee directors, including grants of restricted shares and stock options, to be recognized as expense in the statements of operations and comprehensive loss based on their grant date fair values. We estimate the grant date fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, and the fair value of restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and performance stock units (“PSUs”) are equal to the closing price of our common stock on the grant date. We account for forfeitures as they occur. We expense the fair value of our equity-based compensation awards granted to employees on a straight-line basis over the associated service period, which is generally the period in which the related services are received for stock options and RSUs, and the performance period and any additional service period based on the probability of achieving the performance objectives for PSUs.

Recent accounting pronouncements

Recent accounting pronouncements

In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, which provides targeted relief under Topic 326 for entities estimating expected credit losses on accounts receivable and contract assets arising from revenue transactions under ASC 606. The amendment introduces a practical expedient allowing entities to assume that current conditions as of the reporting date remain unchanged over the life of the asset. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025, including interim periods within those fiscal years. We adopted ASU 202505 effective January 1, 2026. The amendments were applied on a prospective basis and did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements, results of operations, or cash flows. We continue to record a specific allowance for credit losses based on known collection risks and historical experience.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement — Reporting Comprehensive Income (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. The amendments require public business entities to provide enhanced disclosures related to the disaggregation of income statement expenses, including additional quantitative and qualitative information about the nature of expenses presented within relevant expense captions. The guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. We have not yet adopted ASU 2024-03 and are in the process of evaluating the impact of the guidance on our consolidated financial statements. While the amendments will require additional disclosures and may require changes to internal data aggregation and reporting processes, we do not expect adoption to have a material impact on its results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.
