Zynex Announces First Quarter 2012 Financial Results

LONE TREE, Colo.--()--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.
