Zynex Announces Second Quarter 2011 Financial Results


LONE TREE, CO--(Marketwire - Aug 3, 2011) - Zynex, Inc. (OTCBB: ZYXI), a provider and developer of non-invasive medical devices for electrotherapy and stroke rehabilitation, neurological diagnosis and cardiac monitoring, announces its second quarter 2011 financial results.

The Company generated record net revenues of $8,395,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2011, which represents a 46% increase over second quarter 2010 net revenue and a 27% increase over the first quarter of 2011. Year to date net revenue of $15,028,000 increased 42% over the prior year to date net revenue. Thomas Sandgaard, CEO, stated "The aggressive expansion of our sales force has resulted in a significant increase in orders and respective revenue growth. We plan to add sales representatives throughout the remainder of 2011 in an effort to continue to drive our top-line growth."

The Company reported a second quarter 2011 gross profit of $6,668,000, which reflects a 79% gross profit percentage, unchanged from the second quarter 2010 gross profit percentage. Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses in the second quarter of 2011 totaled $5,769,000 compared to $4,390,000 in the second quarter of 2010. The 31% increase in SG&A during the second quarter of 2011 as compared to the second quarter of 2010, was a direct result of specific investments made to expand the sales force and improve billing and reimbursement department efficiencies. The Company reported second quarter 2011 income from operations of $899,000, income before income tax of $822,000 and net income of $484,000, versus second quarter 2010 income from operations of $130,000, income before income tax of $82,000 and net income of $30,000.

Thomas Sandgaard, CEO stated: "Overall demand for our products remains robust, as we continued strong top-line growth for the quarter. Previous investments made in our infrastructure to accommodate our current and anticipated sales growth have begun to payoff, as our second quarter 2011 net income has increased significantly over the prior quarter in 2010 and increases in our net revenue for the respective periods have out paced that of our SGA expenses. SGA expenses increased 31% over the second quarter of 2010 and just 8% over the first quarter of 2011."

Mr. Sandgaard continued: "Our long term goal is to diversify our revenue base currently being driven by our Zynex Medical, electrotherapy subsidiary, through our additional subsidiaries, Zynex Monitoring Solutions and Zynex NeuroDiagnostics, which should provide us access to new markets. We continue to make progress on our blood volume monitor device, currently being developed in our Zynex Monitoring Solutions subsidiary, in which we have a working prototype preparing for clinical evaluations that will be used to provide substantiation for FDA submission and international regulatory clearance. This unique device will serve, what we believe, is a currently un-met need in the market for safer surgeries and safer monitoring of patients during recovery. We have also been studying the markets for both Zynex NeuroDiagnostics and Zynex Monitoring Solutions and have identified potential growth opportunities."

Outlook:
The Company has refined its prior guidance by raising anticipated annual net revenue guidance to between $32 million and $34 million and narrowing the range of its net income per diluted share guidance to between $0.08 and $0.10 for 2011.
