ST. LOUIS, MO, February 25, 2015—Stereotaxis, Inc. (NASDAQ: STXS), a global leader in innovative technologies for the treatment of cardiac arrhythmias, today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2014.
William C. Mills, Stereotaxis Chief Executive Officer, said, “We achieved an operating profit in the fourth quarter, the first in Company history, reflecting our ongoing emphasis on both operational efficiencies and clinical adoption through technological innovation, as well as a sequential improvement in quarterly capital sales. Our focus on these objectives over the course of the year resulted in record recurring revenue and our lowest reported annual operating loss and net loss since our IPO, despite challenges in new Niobe® system sales for much of the year.”
“Our leadership in robotic navigation solutions for the cardiac ablation market was further affirmed in December, when we surpassed 75,000 worldwide procedures performed with our remote magnetic navigation system,” Mr. Mills continued. “During 2014, we aggressively worked to drive clinical adoption and awareness around the efficacy of our technologies and successfully improved utilization in the fourth quarter by 9% year over year and 12% sequentially. We continue to focus on helping physicians realize the significant clinical benefits of a fully remote, computer-assisted procedure environment.”
Mr. Mills concluded, “As we move into 2015, we look forward to building on our positive momentum in Japan, where we secured a second system order during the quarter, along with leveraging the release of our Vdrive® robotic navigation platform in the U.S. and continuing to develop powerful software features that further enhance our platform. We have proven we can achieve profitability and believe we can drive increased market penetration and long-term shareholder value with our commitment to improve the practice of cardiac interventional medicine.”
