Zynex Announces Second Quarter 2013 Financial Results


LONE TREE, CO--(Marketwired - Aug 8, 2013) - Zynex, Inc. (OTCQB: ZYXI), a provider and developer of non-invasive medical devices for electrotherapy and stroke rehabilitation, neurological diagnosis and cardiac monitoring, announces its second quarter 2013 financial results. 

The Company's total net revenue decreased 45% to $5,472,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2013 from $10,026,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2012. Year to date net revenue of $13,140,000 decreased 31% as compared to the prior year to date net revenue of $18,970,000. The decline in net revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to the same periods in 2012 was a direct result of the decline in orders from the Company's Zynex Medical electrotherapy products.

The Company reported a gross profit of $3,589,000, or 66% of net revenue, for the second quarter of 2013, and $9,066,000, or 69% of net revenue, for the first six months of 2013, as compared to a gross profit of $8,240,000, or 82% of net revenue, for the second quarter of 2012 and $15,371,000, or 81% of net revenue, for the first six months of 2012. The decrease in the Company's second quarter and year to date 2013 gross profit percentage, as compared to the same periods in 2012, was primarily a result of the lower sales volume for the periods, as the Company had less net revenue to cover manufacturing costs and incremental expenses incurred because of an increase to the Company's allowance for obsolete inventory, due to excess quantities now in the field. 

The Company reported Selling, General and Administrative (SG&A) expenses of $6,153,000 or 112% of net revenue, for the three months ended June 30, 2013, and $11,986,000, or 91% of net revenue, for the six months ended June 30, 2013, as compared to $7,308,000, or 73% of net revenue, for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and $13,953,000, or 74% of net revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2012. Decreases in the Company's SG&A expenses during the second quarter and year to date 2013 as compared to the same periods in 2012, were primarily attributable to lower sales commissions, based on the decrease in orders and net revenue, and a reduction in headcount.

The Company generated a second quarter 2013 loss from operations of $2,564,000, loss before income taxes of $2,700,000 and net loss of $1,716,000, or $0.06 per share, versus a second quarter of 2012 income from operations of $932,000, income before income taxes of $844,000 and net income of $473,000, or $0.02 per share. The Company generated a 2013 year to date loss from operations of $2,920,000, loss before income taxes of $3,192,000 and net loss of $2,020,000, or $0.06 per share, versus a 2012 year to date income from operations of $1,418,000, income before income taxes of $1,237,000 and net income of $793,000, or $0.03 per share.

Thomas Sandgaard, CEO stated: "2013 has been a difficult year for Zynex thus far. We have encountered industry challenges related to health care reform that affected our Zynex Medical electrotherapy business. Specifically, because of reimbursement changes for durable medical equipment, uncertainty continues to exist at the medical practitioner level causing a delay and decline in demand for our electrotherapy products. We have also experienced reimbursement challenges from government and third party payors related to certain medical indications for our Zynex Medical electrotherapy products. These market factors had a negative effect on our financial results for the first half of 2013, causing us to report significantly less revenue than the comparable period in the prior year resulting in a year to date net loss. In response to these challenges, we have lowered our fixed expenses by reducing our annual employee costs by approximately $3 million. We have also successfully renegotiated our existing building lease, in which, our base rent has been lowered and we are now operating in an approximate twelve month free rent period, which results in cash savings over the next twelve months of approximately $1.5 million. We are committed to returning the Company to profitability and will continue to make expense adjustments as necessary throughout the remainder of 2013."

Mr. Sandgaard added: "Beyond the cost cutting measures we have completed, we are focused on capitalizing on new opportunities across all of our divisions. In our Zynex Medical electrotherapy sales channel, we recently added new products that are less impacted by insurance reimbursement. In Zynex NeuroDiagnostics, we expanded our sales force and have been distributing electroencephalography (EEG) and sleep diagnostic products in the US and have recently entered into a new sales agreement to distribute mobile sleep diagnostic devices and a sleep apnea treatment device. We are investing in our Zynex Billing and Consulting division where we expect increased service based revenue going forward. We believe these steps serve to diversify our product mix and further reduce our dependency on insurance reimbursement."
