ENGLEWOOD, Colo., July 9, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Zynex, Inc. (NASDAQ: ZYXI), an innovative medical technology company specializing in manufacturing and selling non-invasive medical devices for pain management, stroke rehabilitation, cardiac monitoring and neurological diagnostics, today announced orders and an increased revenue estimate for Q2 and the full-year 2020.

Orders in the second quarter were 37% above the number of orders in the second quarter of 2019 and 23% sequentially below the first quarter of 2020 due to COVID-19.

Thomas Sandgaard, CEO of Zynex said: "Similar to most companies we have seen 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 continued order growth during this pandemic shows the strength of relationships our sales force has with many prescribers and the need for them to prescribe non-opioid, non-addictive prescription strength solutions for their patients in pain.

In June, as many cities re-opened their doors for business, we have seen consistent order growth and expect it to continue in the third quarter. We aggressively hired sales and back office employees during the second quarter which was aided by a surge in applications from qualified individuals due to increased unemployment rates related to COVID-19. These hires will provide significant productivity increases in the second half 2020 and beyond. We have eclipsed 300 sales reps as we continue our goal of filling all of our territories in the U.S. We expect to have approximately 500 sales reps in the U.S. by the end of 2020 and over 600 by the end of 2021.

Due to the solid increase in orders and strong collections the Company has updated its previous revenue estimate for the second quarter of 2020 to between $18.9 and $19.4 million compared to the previous estimate of between $17.5 and $18.0 million. Second quarter Adjusted EBITDA is now expected to come in between $4.4 and $4.9 million, up over one million from the previous estimate.

The Company is increasing its full year 2020 revenue estimate to between $80 and $85 million. The Company previously provided guidance for revenue in the full year 2020 of between $78 and $83 million.

The updated revenue estimate is now approximately 76% to 87% above last year's full year revenue of $45.5 million.

2020 full year estimated adjusted EBITDA remains unchanged at $15.0 to $18.0 million.

Our prescription-strength NexWave device is a healthy alternative to prescribing opioids as the first line of defense when treating pain. We continue to add additional sales reps in territories throughout the US that we have not covered previously.

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."
