ST. LOUIS, MO, November 3, 2015—Stereotaxis, Inc. (NASDAQ: STXS), a global leader in innovative technologies for the treatment of cardiac arrhythmias, today reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2015.

“Our year-over-year revenue gains reflect increased Niobe® ES system sales and strong recurring revenue,” said William C. Mills, Stereotaxis Chief Executive Officer. “During the quarter, we recognized revenue on two new Niobe ES systems, including our third system shipment to Japan and our first to the Canadian province of Quebec. We also reduced operating loss by 23% in the third quarter and by 29% for the nine-month period compared to last year.

“Our ongoing marketing strategies in Japan are fueling excitement among high-profile physicians on the benefits of bringing Stereotaxis technologies to their patients, and we look forward to engaging with them and others in the region at the Asia Pacific Heart Rhythm Society Scientific Sessions later this month. We also are increasing interest worldwide in our technologies through enhanced automation features and growing clinical evidence of improved outcomes with our remote navigation suite in the setting of ventricular tachycardia (VT) compared to traditional approaches.

“As we continue to focus on optimizing patient outcomes and expanding adoption of our cutting-edge solutions, we are encouraged by our progress in building a commercial base in Japan, translating the clinical value of our system into a greater share of the VT market, and introducing new innovations that exceed customer expectations and support our vision of fully automated procedures,” Mr. Mills concluded.
