Zynex Announces First Quarter 2014 Results |
LONE TREE, Colo. – May 13, 2014—Zynex, Inc. (OTCQB: ZYXI), an innovative medical technology company specializing in the manufacture and sale of non-invasive medical devices for pain management, stroke rehabilitation, neurological diagnostics, and compound pharmacy, announced today its first quarter 2014 financial results.
President and CEO Commentary:
Thomas Sandgaard, CEO stated: “While health care reform had a major impact on 2013 results, during the first quarter of 2014 we began to see our core electrotherapy business stabilize. While our net revenue declined for the first three months of 2014 by 59%, as compared to the first three months of 2013, it declined by just over 5% to $3,167,000 as compared to the fourth quarter 2013 net revenue of $3,353,000. Changes in reimbursement affected a large portion of the patients we normally serve in the electrotherapy market, and we believe we have made the needed adjustments to regain our balance in this business segment, and can eventually take steps to begin to drive growth.
During the first quarter of 2014, our streamlined electrotherapy sales process, which simplifies the way physicians can prescribe our products, helped to drive orders for the core electrotherapy products. The first quarter of each year is normally impacted by insurance reimbursement seasonality, in which patients’ insurance plans’ deductibles reset causing a decline in our revenue, so this near term quarter over quarter trend is particularly encouraging.
In December 2013, we commenced operations of an in-house, non-sterile compound pharmacy providing topical and transdermal pain creams. Zynex-branded pain creams, in conjunction with our electrotherapy products, offer a full service, conservative pain management solution for the market. We believe in the US market alone there are approximately 100 million people that have chronic pain treatable by a topical or transdermal pain cream, and we now offer a solution that is an alternative to oral medication. Compounded pain cream prescribers and specialties include anesthesiology, pain management doctors, orthopedics, podiatry, rheumatology, and family practices. This market is highly fragmented and we estimate the market size is approximately $2 billion annually in the US.
Our compound pharmacy allows us to leverage the existing electrotherapy sales force, servicing the same channel with pain creams. This creates a more rounded product portfolio for the company, and a double revenue opportunity with each sales call. Revenue from the sale of compound pain creams reached approximately 4% of total net revenue during the first quarter of 2014. We continued to gain traction in pain cream revenue during April, and have almost exceeded our first quarter revenue in just the first month of the second quarter. The typical pain cream sales cycle includes refills, an element of recurring revenue similar to our electrotherapy products.
We have carefully developed an operating plan for 2014 that emphasizes cash flow, under which the Company is focusing on topical pain cream sales, which currently yield higher margins and have a shorter collection cycle than our electrotherapy products. Our focus during the first quarter was to ensure our core electrotherapy business was stable, which allows us to initiate actions to begin to drive growth for the Company as a whole and regain profitability during 2014.”
Summary of Financial Results:
The Company’s net revenue decreased 59% to $3,167,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 from $7,668,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013. The decline in net revenue for the first quarter 2014, as compared to 2013, was a direct result of the decline in orders from the Company’s Zynex Medical electrotherapy products impacted by health care reform, and coverage and reimbursement changes that negatively affected demand for the Company’s electrotherapy products.
The Company reported a gross profit of $2,170,000, or 69% of net revenue, for the first three months of 2014, as compared to a gross profit of $5,477,000, or 71% of net revenue, for the first three months of 2013. The decrease in the Company’s gross profit percentage for the first quarter of 2014, as compared to 2013, was primarily a result of lower sales volume for the period, as the Company had less net revenue to cover manufacturing and fixed costs.
The Company reported Selling, General and Administrative (SG&A) expenses of $3,456,000, or 109% of net revenue for the first quarter of 2014, as compared to $5,839,000, or 76% of net revenue for the first quarter of 2013. Decreases in the Company’s SG&A expenses during the first quarter 2014, as compared to 2013, were primarily attributable to lower sales commissions, based on the decrease in orders and net revenue, and a reduction in headcount to adjust fixed expenses to the lower level in revenue.
The Company generated a first quarter 2014 loss from operations of $1,286,000, loss before income taxes of $1,444,000 and net loss attributable to Zynex, Inc. of $1,430,000, or $0.05 net loss per share, versus a first quarter 2013 loss from operations of $362,000, loss before income taxes of $492,000 and net loss attributable to Zynex, Inc. of $304,000, or $0.01 net loss per share.
The Company’s cash balance and outstanding line of credit as of March 31, 2014 was $189,000 and $5,608,000, respectively, as compared to a cash balance and outstanding line of credit as of March 31, 2013 of $681,000 and $6,602,000. The Company is currently facing liquidity challenges due to the decline in revenues and lack of available borrowings under its revolving credit facility. The Company is currently exploring ways to improve its liquidity and is in discussions with its lender with respect to obtaining financial covenant waivers and relief under the credit facility. The Company can make no assurance that it will be able to improve its liquidity.
