ENGLEWOOD, Colo., April 28, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Zynex, Inc. (NASDAQ: ZYXI), an innovative medical technology company specializing in the manufacture and sale of non-invasive medical devices for pain management, stroke rehabilitation, cardiac monitoring and neurological diagnostics, today reported financial results for its first quarter ended March 31, 2020.

First Quarter Financial Results Summary:

For the first quarter, the Company reported net revenue of $15.2 million, a 66% increase over the first quarter of 2019. Gross margins were 78% in the first quarter of 2020 and net income was $2.9 million.

Adjusted EBITDA was $3.0 million in the first quarter of 2020.

The Company generated $0.6 million of cash from operations during the first quarter of 2020. As of March 31, 2020, the Company had working capital of $19.9 million compared to $17.4 million at December 31, 2019. Cash on hand was $14.6 million at the end of the first quarter.

President and CEO Commentary:

Thomas Sandgaard, CEO said: "I am excited to announce our fifteenth consecutive quarter of positive net income. In the first quarter, we posted revenue of $15.2 million, which is the highest quarterly revenue in the history of the Company and net income of $2.9 million. Orders grew 126% compared to the first quarter of 2019.

We were able to generate $0.6 million in cash from operations despite increasing our inventory by over $1.0 million. We are focused on ensuring our patients get pain relief from our device quickly and therefore we increased our inventory levels to protect against any supply chain slow-downs due to COVID-19. Our employees have demonstrated remarkable dedication and have been rock solid during this crisis making sure we continue to operate effectively. We can't thank them enough.

In the first quarter, we continued to focus on the execution of our growth strategy and the related growth of our sales force by adding 32 sales reps in March and 48 in April. We expect the addition of new sales reps to have an impact on order and revenue growth later this year and going forward. In addition, we continue to invest in our infrastructure to support the increase in order volume.

We continue to advocate for pain patients, and for physicians to prescribe our NexWave technology as the first line of defense in treating chronic and acute pain without side effects. We are dedicated to promoting our technology in an effort to remove patient addiction and other side effects from prescription opioids."

Second Quarter and Full Year 2020 Guidance:

The estimated range for second quarter revenue is between $17.5 and $18.0 million with Adjusted EBITDA between $3.2 and $3.7 million as we continue to invest in growing our sales force. The revenue estimate is approximately 70% to 75% above 2019 second quarter revenue of $10.3 million. We continue to see the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, not only on the availability of physicians to prescribe our products but also on navigating employee and supply chain issues. Our order volumes have stabilized and remained steady during the last 3 weeks of March and through April.

Full year 2020 estimates are unchanged. Revenue is estimated between $78.0 and $83.0 million with Adjusted EBITDA between $15.0 and $18.0 million. The full year revenue estimate is approximately 72% to 83% above 2019 revenue of $45.5 million.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Zynex reports its financial results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (GAAP). In addition, the Company is providing in this news release financial information in the form of Adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, other income/expense and stock compensation). Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors and lenders in evaluating the overall financial health of the Company in that they allow for greater transparency of additional financial data routinely used by management to evaluate performance. Adjusted EBITDA can be useful for investors or lenders as an indicator of available earnings. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from or as an alternative to the financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.
