Zynex, Inc. (OTCBB: ZYXI),
a provider and developer of non-invasive medical devices for
electrotherapy and stroke rehabilitation, neurological diagnosis and
cardiac monitoring, announces its first quarter 2012 unaudited financial
results.
The Company’s total net revenue increased 35% to $8,944,000 for the
three months ended March 31, 2012 from $6,633,000 for the three months
ended March 31, 2011. The Company’s revenue base for the first quarter
of 2012 was primarily driven by its Zynex Medical subsidiary, in which
strong demand continues from its products, and a small amount of revenue
was derived from its Zynex NeuroDiagnostics subsidiary. The Company
generated net income of $320,000, or $0.01 per share in the first
quarter of 2012, versus a net loss of $110,000, or less than $0.01 per
share in the first quarter of 2011.
The Company reported a gross profit of $7,131,000, or 80% of net
revenue, for the first three months of 2012, as compared to a gross
profit of $5,189,000, or 78% of net revenue, for the first three months
of 2011.
The Company reported Selling, General and Administrative (SG&A) expenses
of $6,645,000, or 74% of net revenue, for the three months ended March
31, 2012, as compared to $5,328,000, or 80% of net revenue, for the
three months ended March 31, 2011. Increases in the Company’s SG&A
expenses during the first three months of 2012 were primarily
attributable to sales and marketing, specifically for sales commissions
(based on the 35% increase in net revenue) and investments made to
expand the Company’s Zynex Medical field sales force.
The Company generated a first quarter 2012 income from operations of
$486,000, income before income taxes of $393,000 and net income of
$320,000, or $0.01 per share, versus a first quarter of 2011 loss from
operations of $139,000, loss before income taxes of $197,000 and net
loss of $110,000, or less than $0.01 per share.
Thomas Sandgaard, CEO stated: “We were pleased with our first quarter
2012 profitability and 35% increase in total net revenue as compared to
the first quarter of 2011. The first few months of the calendar year is
typically the slowest period for us, as we primarily deal with health
insurance companies. The beginning of each year represents a reset for
most patient insurance deductibles, which lowers the amount of expected
revenue we are able to report. Achieving a 35% increase in net revenue
is representative of the strong demand for our Zynex Medical
electrotherapy products and volume of orders we continue to obtain
quarter over quarter. Although our Zynex Medical subsidiary still
represents the majority of reported revenue, we are encouraged to see an
increasing contribution from our Zynex NeuorDiagnostics subsidiary where
revenue increased at a rate slightly higher than expected. We continued
to invest in our Zynex Medical sales team, through the addition of field
sales representatives, which allowed us to expand our reach and
penetration in key geographic markets. We completed the asset
acquisition of NeuroDyne Medical Corp., through our Zynex
NeuroDiagnostics subsidiary, during the first quarter of 2012 and are
now in process with integrating it into our corporate, Lone Tree
facility and introducing its products into our existing distribution
channels. Our Zynex Monitoring Solutions subsidiary continues to make
progress on further developing our non-invasive blood volume monitor,
including planning for additional clinical trials during 2012.”
Outlook:
The Company confirms its initial guidance of anticipated total net
revenue of between $38 million and $40 million for 2012 and net income
per diluted share of between $0.06 and $0.08 for 2012.
