Exhibit 99.1
Stereotaxis Reports 2017 First Quarter Financial Results
| Procedures stable with gain in ventricular and decline in atrial procedures |
| System sales at nadir; expect increase in latter half of 2017 from current initiatives |
| Clinical focus on helping physicians build successful robotic practices |
| Development focus on innovation of all aspects of robotic ablation therapy |
| Conference call today at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time |
ST. LOUIS, MO, May 8, 2017 Stereotaxis, Inc. (OTCQX: STXS), a global leader in innovative robotic technologies for the treatment of cardiac arrhythmias, today reported financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2017.
David Fischel, who was appointed Chairman and Acting CEO in February 2017, commented, The last three months have provided me the opportunity to connect with many of our physician users and to appreciate the enormous opportunity of robotic ablation. It has clear and significant advantages over manual ablation in a range of ventricular and other complex cases, and is the only technology that will allow automated individualized ablation in the less complex atrial cases, all while providing a safer alternative for both patients and healthcare professionals.
Our focus for 2017 is to help electrophysiologists build successful robotic practices and identify the strategic path for a future in which robotic ablation will be the standard of care. It is a rare privilege and responsibility to be entrusted with advancing a technology of such power.
First Quarter 2017 Financial Results
Revenue for the first quarter of 2017 totaled $7.0 million, down from $8.6 million in the prior year first quarter and $7.3 million in the 2016 fourth quarter. Recurring revenue was $6.8 million in the first quarter, up from $6.6 million in the prior year quarter and $6.5 million in the fourth quarter. System revenue in the first quarter was $0.2 million, down from $2.1 million in the prior year quarter and $0.8 million in the fourth quarter. Recurring revenue growth benefited from robust March procedure volume, with the Company recording the highest monthly global procedure volume in over two years and highest North American procedure volume in over four years. System revenue weakness was caused by the lack of any Niobe system sales and the expiration of an Odyssey distribution agreement in 2016. Ending capital backlog for the 2017 first quarter was $4.1 million.
Gross margin in the quarter was $5.7 million, or 82% of revenue, versus $6.5 million, or 75% of revenue, in the first quarter of 2016 and $5.3 million, or 73% of revenue, in the fourth quarter of 2016.
Operating expenses in the first quarter were $7.6 million, down from $8.0 million in the prior year quarter and up from $7.4 million in the fourth quarter. Operating loss in the first quarter was $(1.9) million, compared to $(1.5) million in the prior year first quarter and $(2.1) million in the fourth quarter. Net income for the first quarter was $1.2 million, compared to a net loss of $(2.3) million in the first quarter of 2016. Excluding mark-to-market warrant revaluation, the Company would have reported a net loss of $(2.0) million for the 2017 first quarter.
Cash utilization for the first quarter was $2.7 million, compared to $3.9 million in the year ago first quarter and $0.5 million in the preceding fourth quarter. Cash use in the first quarter was impacted by approximately $1.2 million in non-recurring payments.
Cash Balance and Liquidity
At March 31, 2017, Stereotaxis had cash and cash equivalents of $5.7 million, no debt, and $4.3 million in unused borrowing capacity on its revolving credit facility, for total net liquidity of $10 million.
Full Year 2017 Expectations
| Full year 2017 expected revenue to exceed $30 million |
| Approximately cash flow neutral for the remainder of 2017 |
| Development and initiation of long term product innovation plan |

This press release includes statements that may constitute forward-looking statements, usually containing the words believe, estimate, project, expect or similar expressions. Forward-looking statements inherently involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements. Factors that would cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, the Companys ability to raise additional capital on a timely basis and on terms that are acceptable, its ability to continue to manage expenses and cash burn rate at sustainable levels, its ability to continue to work with lenders to extend, repay or refinance indebtedness, or to obtain additional financing, in either case on acceptable terms, continued acceptance of the Companys products in the marketplace, the effect of global economic
conditions on the ability and willingness of customers to purchase its systems and the timing of such purchases, competitive factors, changes resulting from healthcare reform in the United States, including changes in government reimbursement procedures, dependence upon third-party vendors, timing of regulatory approvals, and other risks discussed in the Companys periodic and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. By making these forward-looking statements, the Company undertakes no obligation to update these statements for revisions or changes after the date of this release. There can be no assurance that the Company will recognize revenue related to its purchase orders and other commitments in any particular period or at all because some of these purchase orders and other commitments are subject to contingencies that are outside of the Companys control. In addition, these orders and commitments may be revised, modified, delayed or canceled, either by their express terms, as a result of negotiations, or by overall project changes or delays.
