NanoVibronix Reports Second Quarter 2021 Financial Results; Provides Business Update

Significantly Increasing Revenue Opportunities with Planned Launch of First OTC Product, Expanded Distribution and Additional Applications for Regulatory Approval and Medicare Reimbursement


ELMSFORD, N.Y., Aug. 16, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- NanoVibronix, Inc., (NASDAQ: NAOV), a healthcare device company that produces the UroShield® and PainShield® Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) Portable Ultrasonic Therapeutic Devices, today reported its financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2021 and provided a business update.

Financial and Business Highlights

  • Revenue increased 18% to $318,000, which included the first shipment of products to Ultra Pain Products, Inc. (UPPI) under its amended contract which extended terms and increased minimum purchase requirements to $8 million over three years
  • Launched OTC pain management device, PainShield RELIEF
  • Submitted request to CMS for reimbursement code(s) for UroShield and PainShield Plus
  • Received registration approval for UroShield from Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) in Australia
  • Balance sheet remains strong with $5.7 million in cash and $0 long-term debt as of June 30, 2021

“We made great strides in the first half of 2021, accelerating our progress towards full commercialization of our products with expanded distribution, clearance of regulatory approvals, the launch of PainShield Plus and the planned launch of PainShield RELIEF, which is expected to be available over-the-counter, significantly expanding our addressable market,” stated Brian Murphy, CEO of NanoVibronix. “Our entire product portfolio has been redesigned to improve appearance, functionality and efficiency, and we have submitted patent applications to protect our intellectual property, both for our existing brands and technology as well as products under development. Our robust business model is comprised of innovative products that are clearing regulatory approvals, a high-quality manufacturing partner and global distribution channels. Importantly, we believe that we are operating in a market environment of increasing demand and that we can continue to grow.”

Murphy continued, “The demand we are experiencing exceeds our supply across all of the markets we serve including commercial, insurance and the Veterans Administration (VA). This demand, combined with the energy of our distributors to bring our products to market, reinforces our optimism for continued growth. Given our growing backlog of orders and the submissions we are making for regulatory approval in new markets, we are actively searching for additional manufacturers for our products and are currently engaged with additional contract manufacturers located in the United Kingdom, Israel, the United States and Mexico to expand output.”

Murphy continued, “Another development that we are energized by is our planned entry into the over-the-counter market with the launch of PainShield RELIEF, a derivative of our prescription PainShield that we plan to be available without a clinician’s prescription. Opening availability of our pain management device to the mass market should greatly expand our revenue potential and provide us with the opportunity to scale and leverage our manufacturing and distribution infrastructures.”

“We are aggressively pursuing a reimbursement code from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid (CMS), which once approved should make the devices more broadly available to millions of Medicare beneficiaries,” added Murphy. “We recently completed the application process with CMS to receive a reimbursement code for our UroShield and PainShield Plus devices and have been granted approval and reimbursement at favorable rates from the Federal Supply Schedule. We are progressing in this realm as expeditiously as possible and are encouraged by the trajectory of our efforts.”

Murphy concluded, “Our balance sheet remains strong, and we are adequately funded for growth and execution of our strategic plans. With $5.7 million in cash at the end of the second quarter and zero debt, we have the capacity to ramp manufacturing as orders accelerate while continuing to invest in product development and expand our sales channels.”

Second Quarter 2021 Financial Summary

Revenues were $318,000 for the second quarter of 2021, up 18% compared with $269,000 for the second quarter of 2020. The increase was primarily due to increased sales of PainShield devices to the company’s distributors.

Gross profit was $208,000, or 65% of revenue, in the second quarter of 2021 compared with $38,000, or 14% of revenue, in the 2020 period. The increases in gross profit and gross margin were primarily driven by increased sales of products to distributors at higher margins and the absence of special discounts in the 2021 period.

Total operating expenses were $1.2 million in the second quarter of 2021 compared with $1.5 million in the prior year period. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in general and administrative expense resulting from the inclusion of a non-recurring settlement with a contractor in the year ago period, partially offset by an increase in expense in the current period for fees related to a lawsuit, expenses related to the company’s efforts to ratify its prior over issuances of common stock and an increase in salary expense in the 2021 period compared to the year ago period when salaries were reduced due to the furlough of staff at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. The decreases in general and administrative expenses were partially offset by an increase in research and development expense and selling and marketing expense, primarily salary related as the prior period benefited from the furlough of staff.

Net loss was $216,000, or $(0.01) per basic and diluted share, compared with a loss of $1.5 million or $(0.20) per basic and diluted share for the previous quarter. Second quarter 2021 results include a change in fair value of derivative liabilities resulting in a non-cash gain of $706,000.
