FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
SANUWAVEHealth reports Third QUARTER financial results
and provides a BUSiness update
ALPHARETTA, GA,November12, 2014 – SANUWAVE Health, Inc. (OTCQB: SNWV) today reported financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and provided a business update. The Company will host a conference call on Thursday, November 13, 2014, at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time.
Revenue increased 53% for the quarter ended September 30, 2014, as compared to the same period in 2013, and 20% year-to-date through higher sales of devices and related applicators.“In addition to the growth we saw in the third quarter from sales in South Korea over our recurring sales in Europe, we are continuing to work to find additional distribution partners to expand sales of our CE Marked devices in other areas such as the GCC region which includes Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Bahrain, and Oman,” commented Kevin A. Richardson, II, Chairman of the board of directors.
The Company has enrolled 126 patients in the Phase III supplemental clinical trial using dermaPACE® for treating diabetic foot ulcers. The Company expects to enroll the necessary 130 patients for the second independent Data Monitoring Committee (DMC) efficacy analysis in November 2014 and suspend enrollment at that time until receiving DMC feedback in Q1-2015. “Weremain focused on completing the dermaPACE clinical trial as soon as possible to address this $3 billion market opportunity in the United States,” stated Mr. Richardson.
The Company began clinical work at several leading universities for the use of the Company’s patented technology in biofilm destruction, blood sterilization and stem cell proliferation. In addition, the Company established an off-site testing facility and started testing a small scale water treatment system for the non-medical use of the Company’s patented technology for cleaning industrial waters.“Our technology platform includes 38 issued and pending patents, and finding additional strategic partners to help us monetize and advance new uses for our technology covered by these patents into other verticals and applications, including non-medical uses such as cleaning industrial waters, is very important for us to achieve our ultimate goal, which is to maximize shareholder value,” concluded Mr. Richardson.
Third QuarterFinancial Results
Revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2014 was $227,492, compared to $148,421 for the same period in 2013, an increase of $79,071, or 53%. The increase in revenue for 2014 was due to higher sales of orthoPACE devices in 2014 in Asia/Pacific, as compared to the prior year, as well as higher sales of refurbished applicators in Europe.
Research and development expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2014 were $708,304, compared to $775,717 for the same period in 2013, a decrease of $67,413, or 9%. Research and development expenses decreased in 2014 as a result of higher costs for third parties used in the dermaPACE clinical study in 2013 at the start of the more costly enrollment phase in June 2013.
General and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2014 were $780,115, as compared to $1,151,709 for the same period in 2013, a decrease of $371,594, or 32%. The decrease in general and administrative expenses is primarily due to reduced stock-based compensation expense for 2014 due to the forfeiture of non-vested stock options by terminated employees and reduced financial related consulting expenses with the completion of the private placement in March 2014.
Net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2014 was $1,492,905, or ($0.03) per basic and diluted share, compared to a net loss of $4,436,790, or ($0.14) per basic and diluted share, for the same period in 2013, a decrease in the net loss of $2,943,885, or 66%. The decrease in the net loss for 2014 was primarily a result of the non-cash other expenses of $2,459,445 in 2013 for the loss on the embedded conversion feature of the Senior Secured Notes, the loss on extinguishment of the Senior Secured Notes which were converted into equity in the third quarter of 2013, and the accrued interest expense on the Senior Secured Notes.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2014Financial Results
Revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was $610,705, compared to $510,272 for the same period in 2013, an increase of $100,433, or 20%. The increase in revenue for 2014 was due to higher sales of orthoPACE devices in 2014 in Asia/Pacific, as compared to the prior year, as well as higher sales of refurbished applicators in Europe.
Operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 were $5,505,008, compared to $5,150,587 for the same period in 2013, an increase of $354,421, or 7%. The increase in operating expenses is primarily a result of the dermaPACE clinical study starting the more costly enrollment phase in June 2013.
Net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was $5,750,509, or ($0.12) per basic and diluted share, compared to a net loss of $10,624,454, or ($0.43) per basic and diluted share, for the same period in 2013, a decrease in the net loss of $4,873,945, or 46%. The decrease in the net loss was primarily a result of the non-cash other expenses which totaled $5,625,775 in 2013 for the loss on the embedded conversion feature of the Senior Secured Notes which were converted to equity in the third quarter of 2013, the loss on extinguishment of the Senior Secured Notes in the third quarter of 2013, and the accrued interest expense on the Senior Secured Notes. These other expenses were partially offset by increased research and development expenses in 2014 for the dermaPACE clinical study.
On September 30, 2014, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $4,687,222 compared with $182,315 as of December 31, 2013, an increase of $4,504,907. For the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, net cash used by operating activities was $5,542,192 and $3,374,894, respectively, an increase of $2,167,298, or 64%. The increase was primarily due to the increased research and development expenses in 2014, as compared to 2013, of $741,866 for expenses associated with the dermaPACE clinical trial as a result of the clinical study starting the more costly enrollment phase in June 2013 and the reduction of accounts payable and accrued expenses in 2014 of $1,036,708. Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 was $10,071,149 and $3,636,703, respectively, which in 2014 primarily consisted of the net proceeds from the 2014 Private Placement of $8,562,500, the proceeds from sale of capital stock per the Subscription Agreement with a related party of $900,000, and the proceeds from the 18% Convertible Promissory Notes of $815,000. In 2013, net cash provided by financing activities primarily consisted of the net proceeds from the subscriptions payable for Senior Secured Notes of $1,570,000 and the net proceeds from the July 2013 public offering of $1,517,450.
