Exhibit 99.1
Stereotaxis Reports 2020 Second Quarter Financial Results
St. Louis, MO, Aug. 6, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) – Stereotaxis (NYSE: STXS), the global leader in innovative robotic technologies for the treatment of cardiac arrhythmias, today reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2020.
“Stereotaxis responded to the challenges of COVID-19 with resilience, prudence and creativity. Despite a 21% year-over-year reduction in quarterly revenue caused by procedure declines, we have made significant progress in commercializing the Genesis RMN® System, advancing strategic innovations, and protecting Stereotaxis’ financial strength,” said David Fischel, Chairman and CEO.
“The world’s first Genesis system was installed in July and has successfully treated patients. A second Genesis system is currently being installed. We continue to see significant interest in Genesis and have hosted 198 physicians and hospital administrators from 76 hospitals since April on TeleRobotic visits. Approximately 30% of these represent greenfield opportunities.”
“Stereotaxis is pioneering unique TeleRobotic connectivity solutions in electrophysiology and was pleased to host the Inaugural Symposium of the TeleRobotic Surgery Leadership Council. This adds an important new dimension to our operational capabilities and the value of robotics for patients, physicians and hospitals.”
“We finalized the design of Stereotaxis’ advanced robotically-navigated magnetic ablation catheter, produced the first batch of catheters with a newly established manufacturing process, and are now testing, refining and validating that process. Meaningful progress has been made on a wave of additional innovations within electrophysiology and beyond.”
“We responded prudently to the financial impact of COVID-19 by reducing expenses in a fashion that does not harm organizational capabilities or slow progress. The financing announced during the quarter leaves Stereotaxis in the strongest financial position in its history and reinforces our commitment to invest in impactful innovation and commercial activities.”
2020 Second Quarter Financial Results
Revenue for the second quarter of 2020 totaled $5.3 million, down 21% compared to $6.8 million in the prior year second quarter. This decrease was primarily due to a 38% reduction in procedure volumes versus the prior year. Procedure volumes improved during the quarter with declines compared to last year of 57% in April, 44% in May, and 13% in June. The impact of this decline on overall revenue was cushioned by the stability of Stereotaxis’ service revenue.
Gross margin for the second quarter was $4.3 million, or 80% of revenue. Operating expenses in the quarter of $6.2 million were 13% lower than the prior year second quarter. The reduction in operating expenses was predominantly driven by timing of R&D projects and pandemic-related reductions in sales and marketing activities, partially offset by increased non-cash general and administrative expenses. Operating loss and net loss in the second quarter were ($1.9) million. Negative free cash flow for the quarter was ($1.2) million.
Cash Balance and Liquidity
At June 30, 2020, Stereotaxis had cash and cash equivalents of $44.0 million.
Forward Looking Expectations
Stereotaxis expects to recognize revenue on the sale of two Genesis systems in the third quarter, driving year-over-year growth for the quarter. The continued uncertain duration and scope of the COVID-19 pandemic makes it difficult to confidently estimate recurring revenue or the timing of additional system sales. Despite the uncertainty, Stereotaxis continues to experience significant interest in Genesis and expects a resurgence of system sales to existing and new hospital customers as the pandemic recedes.
Cash utilization in the second half of the year is expected to be lower than in the first half of the year, and Stereotaxis anticipates ending 2020 with greater than $40 million cash and no debt. Stereotaxis’ balance sheet allows it to reach profitability without the need for additional financings.
