SANUWAVE REPORTS SECOND QUARTER 2012 FINANCIAL RESULTS AND PROVIDES A BUSINESS UPDATE
Company to Hold Conference Call at 11:00 a.m. Eastern Time on Thursday, August 9
ALPHARETTA, GA, August 8, 2012 - SANUWAVE Health, Inc. (OTCBB: SNWV) today reported financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and provided a business update.
Christopher M. Cashman, President and CEO of SANUWAVE, said, "I am very pleased with this quarter's growth in revenues which is a direct reflection of our efforts to further develop our distribution in international markets. The Company recognized the full extent of cost saving measures implemented in the first quarter of 2012, including headcount reductions and expense savings. We continue to make every effort to lower our cash burn to the maximum extent possible, while making sure we do not affect the value of the business, our ability to raise funds or pursue strategic options, or our capability to start up and conduct our next dermaPACE study to treat diabetic foot ulcers. We continue to work with Canaccord Genuity Inc. and other specialized investment banking firms, as well as with high net worth current and potential investors, with the expectation of completing a capital raise in the third quarter of 2012."
Mr. Cashman continued, "As recently announced, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted conditional approval of our Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) Supplement to conduct an additional clinical trial utilizing our dermaPACE device in the treatment of diabetic foot ulcers. The FDA's decision is a highly positive development in the approval process of dermaPACE for the U.S. market. The planned trial provides a scientifically robust, yet potentially more expeditious, pathway to validation of dermaPACE's safety and efficacy and subsequent FDA approval. The Company has already identified clinical study sites and is in the process of qualifying and contracting with them for participation. Once appropriate funding to conduct the trial is in place, patient enrollment is expected to begin upon Institutional Review Board (IRB) approvals at each site. This is forecasted to occur as early as the fourth quarter of this year."
"We believe the clinical trial could be completed and submitted in support of a Premarket Approval (PMA) application for dermaPACE in as early as 20 months from trial initiation, assuming such data to be collected meets the agreed upon statistical and clinical plan of success. We remain focused on achieving FDA approval as soon as possible in order to make dermaPACE available to the millions of U.S. patients who suffer from debilitating, recalcitrant diabetic foot ulcers," concluded Mr. Cashman.
In the second quarter of 2012, preclinical research data from the Company's directed global development program, which addresses a diverse range of promising regenerative medicine applications for the PACE technology platform in bone and soft tissue, were published in peer-reviewed journals:
Financial highlights for the three months ended June 30, 2012 include (all comparisons are with the three months ended June 30, 2011):
Second Quarter Financial Results
Revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2012 were $210,357, compared with $163,749 for the same period in 2011, an increase of $46,608, or 28%. The increase in revenues is primarily due to increased sales of devices and refurbishment applicators to European distributors in 2012, as compared to 2011.
Research and development expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2012 were $347,644, compared with $795,118 for the same period in 2011, a decrease of $447,474, or 56%. Research and development expenses decreased in 2012 due to lower expenses for clinical results analysis and clinical related expenses. Consulting expenses related to clinical results analysis were higher in 2011 as the Company prepared to submit the dermaPACE PMA for treating diabetic foot ulcers to the FDA in June 2011.
General and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2012 were $1,036,728, compared with $1,510,390 for the same period in 2011, a decrease of $473,662, or 31%. General and administrative expenses included non-cash stock-based compensation of $239,870 and $147,762 for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The increase in non-cash stock-based compensation was due to granting employee stock options in November 2011 and granting stock options to members of the Company's medical advisory board in March 2012. Excluding non-cash stock-based compensation, general and administrative expenses were $796,858 for the three months ended June 30, 2012, compared with $1,362,628 for the same period in 2011, a decrease of $565,770, or 42%. The decrease is primarily due to a reduction in headcount (18 employees in June 2012 as compared to 28 employees in June 2011), decreased investor relations expenses and decreased legal costs for patent defense activities.
The net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2012 was $1,424,626, or ($0.07) per share, compared with a net loss of $3,572,207, or ($0.17) per share, for the same period in 2011, a reduction in the net loss of $2,147,581, or 60%. The Company recorded a loss from extinguishment of debt of $1,318,781 in April 2011 as a result of the exchange of outstanding notes payable due to related parties for common stock and warrants.
First Half Financial Results
Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2012 were $448,897, compared to $415,502 for the same period in 2011, an increase of $33,395, or 8%. The increase in revenues is primarily due to increased sales of devices and refurbishment applicators to European distributors in 2012, as compared to 2011.
Research and development expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2012 were $951,441, compared with $1,544,417 for the same period in 2011, a decrease of $592,976, or 38%. Research and development expenses decreased in 2012 due to lower expenses for clinical results analysis and clinical related expenses. Consulting expenses related to clinical results analysis were higher in 2011 as the Company prepared to submit the dermaPACE PMA for treating diabetic foot ulcers to the FDA in June 2011.
General and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2012 were $2,274,268, compared with $2,892,575 for the same period in 2011, a decrease of $618,307, or 21%. General and administrative expenses included non-cash stock-based compensation of $502,046 and $300,210 for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The increase in non-cash stock-based compensation was due to granting employee stock options in November 2011 and granting stock options to members of the Company's medical advisory board in March 2012. Excluding non-cash stock-based compensation, general and administrative expenses were $1,772,222 for the six months ended June 30, 2012, compared with $2,592,365 for the same period in 2011, a decrease of $820,143, or 32%. The decrease is mainly due to a reduction in headcount (18 employees in June 2012 as compared to 28 employees in June 2011), decreased investor relations expenses and decreased legal costs for patent defense activities.
The net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2012 was $3,259,941, or ($0.16) per share, compared with a net loss of $5,755,533, or ($0.31) per share, for the same period in 2011, a reduction of $2,495,592, or 43%. The Company recorded a loss from extinguishment of debt of $1,318,781 in April 2011 as a result of the exchange of outstanding notes payable due to related parties for common stock and warrants.
As of June 30, 2012, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $1,400,875, compared with $3,909,383 as of December 31, 2011, a decrease of $2,508,508. For the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, net cash used by operating activities was $2,504,284 and $5,003,056, respectively, primarily consisting of compensation costs, research and development activities and general corporate operations. The decrease in the use of cash for operating activities of $2,498,772 for 2012, as compared to the same period for 2011, was due to reductions in headcount, operating expenses and clinical expenses in 2012 as well as a reduction in current liabilities in 2011. Net cash provided (used) by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 was $(2,245) and $12,367,455, respectively, which in 2011 consisted of the net proceeds from the private placement of $8,467,121 and the exercise of unit options of $3,900,334.
