ST. LOUIS, MO, November 5, 2014—Stereotaxis, Inc. (NASDAQ: STXS) today reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2014.

William C. Mills, Stereotaxis Chief Executive Officer, said, “During the third quarter, we continued to aggressively execute on our strategic priorities. We secured our first commercial order for the Niobe^® ES system in Japan, which should translate to revenue over the next two quarters, and we established a local business office under the guidance of a new business director, who brings a 20-year background in sales and organizational leadership for medical technology companies in Japan. In the U.S., we received FDA clearance of our Vdrive^® with V-Loop™ system, our secondVdrivesystem product to be launched in the U.S.”

Mr. Mills continued, “Our U.S. and European operating regions contributed to sequential system revenue growth, completing five new system installations in the quarter. We also continued to work toward improved utilization through synergetic, one-on-one relationships with physician users and significant new product enhancements, such as the Ablation History feature. Our team is intensely focused on achieving operational excellence, realizing commercial success in our major global markets and developing economically attractive product solutions that maximize clinical outcomes and drive shareholder value.”

Martin C. Stammer, Chief Financial Officer of Stereotaxis, commented, “Our diligent focus on operating efficiency and carefully managing expenses resulted in record low operating expenses of $7.7 million for the third quarter. Excluding required mark-to-market adjustments in both periods and accelerated amortization of a debt discount in 2013, we narrowed our net loss by $1.3 million from the prior year third quarter. We are committed to disciplined economic decisions and aligning our resources with product innovations that we believe will deliver long-term benefits.”
