Management Commentary

"We are proud to report another excellent quarter of financial results as we achieved record revenues and marked a seventh consecutive quarter of double-digit year-over-year growth," said Joe Sardano, chairman and chief executive officer of Sensus Healthcare. "Our installed base grew to 295 units with 69 of those units treating keloids as well as skin cancer. Half of the 16 SRT systems we shipped during the quarter were our higher end SRT-100 Vision™ systems, reflecting the sophistication and dedication to patient health of our physician customers. In addition, we are starting to see the planned ROI from the expansion of our sales organization as representatives hired several months ago are becoming productive. We now have 22 direct sales representatives, compared with 17 at the beginning of the year. 

"SRT clearly is gaining acceptance in the medical community with a growing roster of customers who are key opinion leaders in their fields. In addition, these KOLs are speaking out on our behalf at important industry conferences, presenting the benefits of SRT in treating non-melanoma skin cancers and keloids. Our marketing efforts are also succeeding in drawing attention to the treatment of keloids, and the SRT-100 has been featured in human interest media stories. We are working hard to bring SRT to the radiation oncology marketplace as well, and exhibited last weekend at the American Association of Physicists in Medicine Annual Meeting.

"We are making a great deal of progress in our efforts to expand the use of SRT and our products outside the U.S.  The SRT-100 received clearance by the China Food and Drug Administration for the treatment and prevention of keloids, which is in addition to our previous clearance in China for non-melanoma skin cancer.  We're looking forward to an expected formal launch by our partner Chindex Medical in October at the International Congress of the Dermatologic & Aesthetic Surgery International League (DASIL) in Shanghai. We have submitted the paperwork for regulatory clearance in Mexico, and hope to receive approval to sell the SRT-100 there in the coming months."

Mr. Sardano added, "As anticipated, our financial results reflect an increase in research and development expenses this year to accelerate sales into new indications and provide new product features during 2018.  We have several sites poised to begin studies with the SRT-100 Vision for the treatment of psoriasis, and we are right on schedule in our development work for the use of SRT in intraoperative radiation therapy for breast and other cancers.  In addition, our development work with our next-generation SRT product is proceeding as planned."

Financial Results for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2017

Revenues for the second quarter of 2017 increased 39% to $5.0 million, compared with $3.6 million for the second 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, and to an increase in overall units sold.

Gross profit for the second quarter of 2017 was $3.4 million, or 68.7% of revenue, compared with $2.3 million, or 65.0% of revenue, for the second quarter of 2016. Both gross profit and gross margin were positively affected by the increase in sales of SRT-100 Vision systems.

Selling and marketing expenses were $2.1 million for the second quarter of 2017, compared with $1.2 million for the second quarter of 2016, reflecting increased sales team headcount as well as higher advertising, trade show and other marketing expenses.

General and administrative expenses for the second quarter of 2017 were $0.9 million, compared with $1.1 million for the second quarter of 2016. The decrease was primarily due to lower stock compensation expense and professional fees, offset by higher director and officer insurance premiums and other public company expenses following the company's initial public offering in June 2016.

Research and development expenses for the second quarter of 2017 were $1.2 million, compared with $0.4 million for the second quarter of 2016, primarily due to the continued investment in the next-generation SRT and projects for additional SRT indications that began in the fourth quarter of 2016.

The net loss for the second quarter of 2017 was $0.8 million, or $0.06 per share, compared with a net loss of $0.4 million, or $0.03 per share, for the second quarter of 2016. 

Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter of 2017 was a negative $0.6 million, compared with a positive $0.2 million for the second 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 $10.6 million as of June 30, 2017.  The Company has no long-term debt.

Financial Results for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2017

Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2017 increased 41% to $9.3 million, compared with $6.6 million for six months ended June 30, 2016. Gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 2017 was $6.3 million, or 67.2% of revenue, compared with $4.3 million, or 64.4% of revenue, for the six months ended June 30, 2016. Selling and marketing expenses were $4.4 million for six months ended June 30, 2017, compared with $2.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016.  General and administrative expenses were $2.0 million for six months ended June 30, 2017, compared with $1.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016. Research and development expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2017 were $2.3 million, compared with $0.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016. The net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2017 was $2.3 million, or $0.18 per share, compared with a net loss of $0.3 million, or $0.03 per share, for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

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.
