LYON, France, March 27, 2024 - EDAP TMS SA (Nasdaq: EDAP), the global leader in robotic energy-based therapies, reported today unaudited financial results for the fourth quarter and full-year 2023.

“We are pleased to report strong revenue and system placements in the fourth quarter and full-year 2023, reflecting growing demand for Focal One and ExactVu,” said Ryan Rhodes, Chief Executive Officer of EDAP TMS. “Focal One’s best-in-class robotic HIFU platform, attractive reimbursement, and the continued investments we are making in our regional clinical teams are all helping to drive demand for our technology among both academic and community hospitals. The continued robust growth in U.S. Focal One HIFU procedures also speaks to the growing number of urologists who recognize the value of robotic HIFU in the management of prostate cancer. By providing a non-invasive, non-surgical, and radiation-free treatment approach with excellent oncologic outcomes, we are seeing growing patient awareness of the Focal One treatment option, which we anticipate will provide further momentum for our business.

“Looking ahead, I believe 2024 is shaping up to be another strong year for EDAP. We anticipate continued growth and adoption of Focal One among urologists, further establishing EDAP as the leading company in therapeutic robotic HIFU applications for prostate cancer. I’m also excited about the opportunities for our pipeline, as we recently announced the FDA’s granting of Breakthrough Device designation for Focal One for the treatment of deep infiltrating endometriosis. With enrollment in our Phase 3 study recently completed, we expect our rectal endometriosis program to gain visibility in 2024, as we seek to address a significant unmet need in women’s health with Focal One robotic HIFU therapy.”

Business Update

  • On March 4, 2024, the Company announced that it received Breakthrough Device designation by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE). FDA’s Breakthrough Device designation is granted to products that provide for more effective treatment or diagnosis of life-threatening or irreversibly debilitating diseases or conditions. This unique program is intended to provide patients and health care providers with timely access to medical devices by speeding up development, assessment, and review. The Focal One system being granted a Breakthrough Device designation underscores the significance of this innovative development for DIE patients.
  • On February 1, 2024, the Company announced that it completed enrollment for its Phase 3 study (Endo-HIFU-R2) evaluating Focal One High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) therapy for the treatment of deep infiltrating rectal endometriosis. Results from the Phase 3 study are expected in the second half of 2024.

  • On January 2, 2024, the Company announced the appointments of Ken Mobeck as its Chief Financial Officer of EDAP worldwide, and Francois Dietsch as Global Chief Accounting Officer. Both appointments became effective as of January 1, 2024.

  • On December 12, 2023, the Company announced that the French National Authority for Health (“HAS”) released a favorable recommendation for the reimbursement of high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) therapy in the treatment of prostate cancer. The positive opinion from HAS is an important milestone along the regulatory pathway of securing final reimbursement in France.

  • On December 6, 2023, the Company announced the appointment of Lance Willsey, M.S., M.D. to its Board of Directors. Dr. Willsey is a urologist who has an aggregate of 36 years of private and public board experience focused in the area of cancer diagnostics and therapeutics. He completed his surgical and urology training at the Massachusetts General Hospital and additional postgraduate training in the Steele Lab Harvard University and the Dana Farber Cancer Institute.
  • On November 30, 2023, the Company announced that it received the Industry Category Award from the French National Institute for Intellectual Property (INPI) based on the Company’s innovative therapeutic ultrasound technology. The Industry Category Award from INPI recognizes EDAP as a developer of medical solutions based on the use of therapeutic ultrasound.

Clinical Pipeline Update

Rectal Endometriosis Program

  • On February 1st, 2024, EDAP announced completion of enrollment in the Phase 3 double blinded, randomized controlled trial evaluating Focal One HIFU for the treatment of deep infiltrating rectal endometriosis.
  • In October, positive results from the previously reported Endo-HIFU-R1 Phase 2 study in deep-infiltrating rectal endometriosis were presented by Professor Gil Dubernard, Head of Gynecology-Obstetric Department, Croix-Rousse University Hospital, Lyon, France, at the European Society for Gynecological Endoscopy Annual Congress in Brussels, Belgium. On November 8, 2023, Pr. Dubernard presented results of the study at the 52nd Meeting of the American Association of Gynecologic Laparoscopists (AAGL) in Nashville, TN.

Upcoming Meetings and Events

In the second quarter of 2024, EDAP expects to have its largest presence ever at both the European Association of Urology Meeting, which is taking in Paris (April 5-8), and the American Urology Association Meeting, which is taking place in San Antonio, Texas (May 3-6). The EAU and AUA meetings are the two of the most widely attended largest urology-focused conferences in the world and are considered the most highly influential, global medical meetings focused on urology.   

Fourth Quarter 2023 Results

Total revenue for the fourth quarter of 2023 was EUR 19.6 million (USD 21.3 million), an increase of 24.8% as compared to total revenue of EUR 15.7 million (USD 16.2 million) for the same period in 2022.

Total revenue in the HIFU business for the fourth quarter of 2023 was EUR 7.5 million (USD 8.1 million), as compared to EUR 5.4 million (USD 5.5 million) for the fourth quarter of 2022. The increase was driven by 10 Focal One systems sold in the fourth quarter of 2023 versus 7 systems sold in the fourth quarter of 2022. The Company recorded a 88.6% year-over-year growth in disposables revenues, reflecting strong procedure growth.

Total revenue in the LITHO business for the fourth quarter of 2023 was EUR 2.3 million (USD 2.5 million), as compared to EUR 3.6 million (USD 3.7 million) for the fourth quarter of 2022. The decrease in LITHO revenue was driven by 3 lithotripsy units sold in the fourth quarter of 2023 as compared to 11 units sold in the fourth quarter of 2022.

Total revenue in the Distribution business for the fourth quarter of 2023 was EUR 9.9 million (USD 10.7 million), as compared to EUR 6.7 million (USD 7.0 million) for the fourth quarter of 2022. The increase in Distribution revenue was driven primarily by 20 ExactVu units sold during the fourth quarter of 2023 as compared to 11 units sold during the fourth quarter of 2022.

Gross profit for the fourth quarter of 2023 was EUR 8.6 million (USD 9.3 million), compared to EUR 7.2 million (USD 7.4 million) for the year-ago period. Gross profit margin on net sales was 43.7% in the fourth quarter of 2023, compared to 45.9% in the year-ago period. The decrease in gross profit margin year-over-year was primarily due to a higher level of distribution product revenues with lower gross margin, and continued investments in the U.S. field service and clinical application organizations to further support HIFU adoption and long-term revenue growth.

Operating expenses were EUR 12.0 million (USD 13.1 million) for the fourth quarter of 2023, compared to EUR 8.8 million (USD 9.1 million) for the same period in 2022. The increase in operating expenses was primarily due to the continued build-out of the U.S. team and commercial infrastructure as well as increased marketing activities.

Operating loss for the fourth quarter of 2023 was EUR 3.5 million (USD 3.8 million), compared to an operating loss of EUR 1.6 million (USD 1.6 million) in the fourth quarter of 2022.

Net loss for the fourth quarter of 2023 was EUR 5.0 million (USD 5.5 million), or EUR (0.14) per diluted share, as compared to net loss of EUR 5.1 million (USD 5.3 million), or EUR (0.14) per diluted share in the year-ago period.

Full-Year 2023 Results

Total revenue for the twelve months ended December 31, 2023, was EUR 60.4 million (USD 65.4 million), an increase of 9.6% from total revenue of EUR 55.1 million (USD 58.0 million) for the same period in 2022.

Total revenue in the HIFU business for the twelve months ended December 31, 2023, was EUR 20.6 million (USD 22.3 million), an increase of 31.7% as compared to EUR 15.6 million (USD 16.4 million) for the twelve months ended December 31, 2022.

Total revenue in the LITHO business for the twelve months ended December 31, 2023, was EUR 9.9 million (USD 10.7 million), a decrease of 14.3% from EUR 11.6 million (USD 12.2 million) for the twelve months ended December 31, 2022.

Total revenue in the Distribution business for twelve months ended December 31, 2023, was EUR 29.9 million (USD 32.4 million), a 7.2% increase compared to EUR 27.9 million (USD 29.4 million) for the twelve months ended December 31, 2022.

Gross profit for the twelve months ended December 31, 2023, was EUR 24.4 million (USD 26.4 million), compared to EUR 24.2 million (USD 25.4 million), for the year-ago period. Gross profit margin on net sales was 40.4% for the twelve months ended December 31, 2023, compared to 43.9% for the comparable period in 2022. The decrease in gross profit margin year-over-year was primarily due to three main factors: distribution product mix, global inflationary price pressure on components which increased manufacturing costs, and continued investments in our U.S. service and clinical application organizations to support HIFU and long-term revenue growth.

Operating expenses were EUR 44.2 million (USD 47.9 million) for the twelve months ended December 31, 2023, compared to EUR 28.5 million (USD 29.9 million) for the same period in 2022. The increase in operating expenses is mainly due to the strategic and planned build-out of the U.S. team and commercial infrastructure, and non-recurring expenses linked to the leadership succession plan.

Operating loss for the twelve months ended December 31, 2023, was EUR 19.8 million (USD 21.5 million), compared to an operating loss of EUR 4.3 million (USD 4.5 million) for the twelve months ended December 31, 2022.

Net loss for the twelve months ended December 31, 2023, was EUR 21.2 million (USD 22.9 million), or EUR (0.57) per diluted share, as compared to a net loss of EUR 2.9 million (USD 3.1 million), or EUR (0.09) per diluted share in the year-ago period.

As of December 31, 2023, the Company held cash and cash equivalents of EUR 43.5 million (USD 48.1 million) as compared to EUR 63.1 million (USD 67.5 million) as of December 31, 2022.
