Guided Therapeutics Reports Third Quarter 2013 Results

Key Highlights:

Norcross, GA (November 14, 2013) -- Guided Therapeutics, Inc. (OTCBB: GTHP) (OTCQB: GTHP) today announced its operating results for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2013.

Revenue and other income for the third quarter of 2013 was approximately $89,000, including $58,000 in sales of LuViva® devices and disposables, with the remainder of revenue representing contract and grant income. This compares to revenue of approximately $693,000 in the third quarter of 2012, of which $43,000 represented sales of devices and disposables. Revenue for the first nine months of 2013 was $474,000, including $306,000 in sales of LuViva device and disposables. Revenue in the first nine months of 2012 was $2.3 million, of which $72,000 represented sales of devices and disposables.

Contract and grant income declined year over year for both periods, primarily due to bringing the worldwide rights to the Company’s esophageal cancer detection technology back in house. The Company also recognized other income related to royalty receipts from a licensing agreement of certain non-core intellectual property of $213,000 and $289,000 for the three and nine month periods in 2013, respectively.

The net loss attributable to common stockholders for the third quarter of 2013 was approximately $1.4 million, or $0.02 per share, compared to approximately $986,000, or $0.02 per share, in the comparable quarter of 2012. The net loss attributable to common stockholders for the first nine months of 2013 was $6.2 million, or $0.10 per share, compared to $3.2 million, or $0.06 per share, in the comparable period of 2012. The increased loss reported in the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2013 was primarily related to the reduction in contract and grant income, offset by increases in revenues from sales of devices and disposables.

Cash on hand at September 30, 2013, was approximately $400,000, as compared to approximately $1.0 million at December 31, 2012. Net Inventory on hand at the end of the quarter was $810,000. Subsequent to the quarter end, the Company received $250,000 in royalties as part of an agreement under which Guided Therapeutics licensed certain of its non-core intellectual property. As a result of its recently completed warrant exchange offer, the Company anticipates receiving up to $1.5 million in connection with the cash exercise of new warrants that will otherwise expire on November 27, 2013, although the Company cannot be assured of the exercise of these warrants. Management believes that the Company’s anticipated future sales, along with continued cost savings in monthly burn and funds on hand should be sufficient to support existing operations through the second quarter of 2014.

“We made solid progress on our international launch in the quarter with LuViva units being rolled out to doctors in more markets,” said Mark L. Faupel, Chief Executive Officer and President of Guided Therapeutics. “We added distributors in France, Mexico, Qatar, Malaysia, Indonesia and Bangladesh, and now have 24 countries covered by distribution agreements. Dealers report more than 300 women have been tested with LuViva in the past few weeks and the response from doctors is very encouraging, with a high number of very positive reports regarding efficacy of the product. As expected, there have been no reports of safety issues associated with the use of the product.”

“With the $3.0 million order from the Turkish Ministry of Health, we have been highly focused on the Ministry’s request to update the user software interface to allow for an enhanced patient information panel to be accessible. These enhancements have now been incorporated in local languages on all devices headed for Europe,” said Dr. Faupel. “The software improvements, along with associated beta testing and debugging, have delayed some shipments. However, the purchase orders remain in effect and we are confident that the devices initially scheduled to ship in the third quarter will start to be shipped in the fourth quarter. Despite the delay, we still anticipate that we can reach breakeven with our international business by the end of 2014.”

“Finally, our regulatory team held a brief update call with FDA during the quarter to help guide us in our response to the agency’s remaining questions. We plan to file our responses before the end of the year, along with a request for a meeting, as recommended by both our regulatory advisors and FDA,” said Dr. Faupel.
