LONE TREE, Colo., November 17, 2015 — Zynex (OTCQB: ZYXI), an innovative medical technology company specializing in the manufacture and sale of non-invasive medical devices for pain management, stroke rehabilitation, neuro diagnostics, cardiac and blood volume monitoring and compound pharmacy, announced today its third quarter 2015 financial results.
President and CEO Commentary:
Thomas Sandgaard, CEO commented: “We made good progress in the electrotherapy segment during the year slightly increasing our order production and in the third quarter we significantly increased how much we collect per file compared to earlier periods.
The electrotherapy industry experienced a significant development earlier this month when our largest competitor DJO/Empi announced the closure of their Empi electrotherapy division effective November 2015. Empi previously held a large share of the electrotherapy market with approximately $250 million in annual revenue. We believe this presents a significant opportunity for our existing sales team to capture accounts previously serviced by Empi and an opportunity for recruiting former Empi reps in new areas where we do not have representation currently.
Sandgaard continued: We received feedback from the FDA on our Blood Volume Monitor application and are now preparing a response for submittal on the clearance process. We continue to collect data from hospitals around the world in preparation for the market launch.”
Summary of Financial Results:
The Company’s net revenue was $2,667,000 for the third quarter of 2015, compared to $4,404,000 for the third quarter of 2014. For the nine month period of 2015, net revenue was $8,923,000 compared to $8,921,000 in the same 2014 period indicating that revenue has been flat the past nearly two years. In the previous year third quarter 2014 period, revenue was positively impacted by a backlog of consumable supplies which shifted the revenue from the second quarter into the third quarter 2014 period.
The Company reported Selling, General and Administrative expenses of $1,943,000 for the third quarter of 2015, compared to $2,609,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2014, a 26% reduction. For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, SG&A expenses were $6,923,000 compared to $9,012,000 in the 2014 period. Decreases in the Company’s SG&A expenses are primarily attributable to reduced operating expenses, headcount reductions, and lower building rent.
For the third quarter 2015, the Company reported a net loss of $322,000, or $0.01 per share, compared to net income of $258,000, or $0.01 per share in 2014.
