LYON, France, April 3, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- EDAP TMS SA (Nasdaq:EDAP), the global leader in therapeutic ultrasound, announced today financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2013, and provided an update on recent strategic developments.
Marc Oczachowski, EDAP's Chief Executive Officer, stated, "We are pleased with the continued progress that our PMA submission has made over the past year. Just last month, we completed the question and answer phase with the FDA. We are now advancing towards the FDA advisory panel meeting."
Mr. Oczachowski continued, "Our 2013 topline results were in line with the prior year on a constant currency basis and the year-over-year decrease in our total GAAP revenues was primarily due to the significant exchange loss of the Euro compared to the Japanese Yen. We are pleased with the strong traction of our lithotripsy business in the U.S. with a twofold sales increase in 2013. Starting in 2014, we have a record sales backlog with over fifteen lithotripters and five HIFU devices, comprised of two Focal One and three Ablatherms."
