Management Commentary

"We had an excellent first quarter as our revenues reflected continued sales momentum and growing acceptance of SRT for the treatment of non-melanoma skin cancer and keloid scars," said Joe Sardano, chairman and chief executive officer of Sensus Healthcare. "We also increased our investment in sales and marketing, adding three individuals to our sales organization bringing the total to 20. We expect to have 30 sales representatives by the end of the year. While I am pleased with our progress toward this goal, I am even more pleased with the professionalism, dedication and enthusiasm our sales and marketing staff is bringing to Sensus. They recognize the benefits of SRT to patients, physicians and third-party payors and are driven to spread the word about the benefits of this treatment option. During the quarter we participated in a number of important conferences and industry trade shows, with Key Opinion Leaders presenting work supporting the use of SRT. We are also making progress with in-hospital radiation oncology sales.

"Research and development remains an important driver for our growth in 2018 and beyond, and we have stepped up our activities to broaden the use of SRT to additional indications and to provide a next-generation product to our customers," Mr. Sardano added. "We have qualified several sites to begin psoriasis studies with the SRT-100 Vision, and are on schedule with our development of intraoperative radiation therapy (IORT) for the treatment of breast and other cancers. We expect our investment in these activities to have a positive financial impact on the Company in 2018 and beyond.

"Our international expansion is proceeding as planned. Building upon our clearance for SRT-100 in the important China market, we are making progress towards securing clearance in China for treating and preventing keloid scars. We also recently installed a second unit in Israel at a highly-regarded medical center, and view this as further validation for the use of our SRT systems. We have applied for regulatory clearance in Mexico for the SRT-100, and expect to begin marketing there later this year."

Mr. Sardano concluded, "The first quarter was the sixth consecutive quarter of double-digit year-over-year revenue growth, and we expect this growth to continue as we progress through 2017."

Financial Results

Revenues for the first quarter of 2017 increased 43.5% to $4.4 million, compared with $3.0 million for the first quarter of 2016. The increase was primarily the result of a strong contribution from the SRT-100 Vision, which has a higher average selling price.

Gross profit for the first quarter of 2017 was $2.9 million, or 65.6% of revenue, compared with $1.9 million, or 63.7% of revenue, for the first quarter of 2016. Both gross profit and gross margin were positively affected by the contribution of SRT-100 Vision systems.

Selling and marketing expenses were $2.3 million for the first quarter of 2017, compared with $1.0 million for the first quarter of 2016, due to increased sales team headcount as well as higher advertising, trade show expenses and other marketing costs.

General and administrative expenses for the first quarter of 2017 were $1.0 million, compared with $0.7 million for the first quarter of 2016 primarily due to public company expenses following the company's initial public offering in June 2016.

Research and development expenses for the first quarter of 2017 were $1.1 million, compared with $0.3 million for the first quarter of 2016 primarily due to the continued investment in the next-generation SRT and IORT projects that began in the fourth quarter of 2016.

Net loss for the first quarter of 2017 was $1.6 million, or ($0.12) per share, compared with net income of approximately $2,000, or $0.00 per share for the first quarter of 2016.

Adjusted EBITDA for first quarter of 2017 was $(1.4) million, compared with $0.1 million for the first quarter of 2016. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings before depreciation and amortization, income taxes, interest expense and stock compensation expense. Please see below for a reconciliation between GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures, and the specific reasons these non-GAAP financial measures are provided.

Cash, cash equivalents and investments were $11.0 million as of March 31, 2017.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

This press release contains supplemental financial information determined by methods other than in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP").  Sensus Healthcare's management uses Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, in its analysis of performance. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered a substitute for GAAP basis measures nor should it be viewed as a substitute for operating results determined in accordance with GAAP.  Management believes the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA, which excludes the impact of interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, amortization and stock compensation expense, provides useful supplemental information that is essential to a proper understanding of the financial results of Sensus Healthcare.  Non-GAAP financial measures are not formally defined by GAAP, and other entities may use calculation methods that differ from those used by Sensus Healthcare. As a complement to GAAP financial measures, management believes that Adjusted EBITDA assists investors who follow the practice of some investment analysts who adjust GAAP financial measures to exclude items that may obscure underlying performance and distort comparability. A reconciliation of the GAAP net loss to Adjusted EBITDA is provided in the schedule below.
