BOCA RATON, Fla. (May 3, 2023) - Sensus
Healthcare, Inc. (Nasdaq: SRTS), a medical device company specializing in highly effective, non-invasive, minimally-invasive and cost-effective
treatments for oncological and non-oncological conditions, announces financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2023.
Highlights from the first quarter of 2023 and
recent weeks include the following (all comparisons are with the first quarter of 2022, unless otherwise indicated):
Management Commentary
"Our first quarter financial results were
disappointing as potential new customers delayed making SRT purchase decisions due to inflation conditions impacting their aesthetic business.
Many dermatologists depend on elective aesthetic procedures as a meaningful source of practice revenue and profit, and inflation has caused
consumers to pull back on these expenditures. Inflation is also impacting operating expenses and cash flow as recruiting costs and staff
salaries continue to rise, while many larger practices are deploying cash for acquisitions," said Joe Sardano, chairman and chief
executive officer of Sensus Healthcare.
"That said, we have prepared for the growth
we expect later this year by building inventory and prepaying for components, and we expect to ship more than 60 SRT systems during 2023.
We are working to regain momentum in China now that the pandemic lockdowns have been lifted, and we shipped two SRT systems there during
the quarter as well as one to Taiwan. We plan to increase our addressable market by entering three to four new international territories
each year, with an initial focus on Southeast Asia and South America. In addition, we continue to make investments in Sentinel IT, our
HIPAA-compliant software solution that not only is capable of storing patient data for multiple clinical purposes, but also is intended
to include artificial intelligence that will allow customers to better manage their practices as well as their patient data. We were delighted
to launch our Sentinel/Sensus Cloud capabilities at last month's American Academy of Dermatology Annual Meeting, which was well
"We are confident we have the right people,
technology and sufficient cash to regain our growth trajectory. Tragically, skin cancer rates continue to rise, with an estimated one
in five Americans, or 70 million people, expected to develop skin cancer during their lifetime. SRT is the No. 1 choice for the non-invasive
treatment of non-melanoma skin cancer, and this trend makes our SRT systems more important than ever. We've seen SRT treatments
rise to over 480,000 in the last two years alone. The return on investment for our premium SRT system under our fair market value leasing
program continues to be compelling, with favorable reimbursement and breakeven at only 2 to 2.5 patients per month. Based on our booth
traffic at important conferences such as the Winter Clinical, the South Beach Symposium and the American Academy of Dermatology Annual
Meeting, interest in SRT remains very strong and will continue to resonate as it contributes towards positive cash flows and productivity
in every practice where it is deployed.
"We are broadening Sensus' reach
into radiation oncology, where SRT systems provide a compelling economic option for treating skin cancer and represent, in many cases,
a new source of revenue for hospitals. Interest from this channel is high and we are optimistic it will become a meaningful component
of revenue, one that is largely insulated from economic factors," he added. "We recently sold and installed an SRT-100 Vision
system complete with our new state-of-the-art, solid-state, high-frequency ultrasound to Beth Israel Deaconess Hospital in Plymouth, Massachusetts.
We are very excited about the potential to provide the most patient-friendly and robust alternative to treating non-melanoma skin cancer
to hospitals as they increasingly recognize this underserved opportunity."
First Quarter Financial Results
Revenues for the first quarter of 2023 were $3.4
million, compared with $10.3 million for the first quarter of 2022. The decrease was primarily due to a lower number of SRT units sold
due to inflation impacting medical practices and lower sales to a large customer.
Cost of sales was $1.8 million for the first
quarter of 2023, compared with $3.2 million for the year-ago quarter. The decrease was primarily due to lower sales in the first quarter
Gross profit for the first quarter of 2023 was
$1.6 million, or 47.1% of revenues, compared with $7.1 million, or 68.9% of revenues, for the first quarter of 2022. The decrease was
primarily due to the lower number of units sold and higher costs charged by vendors in the 2023 quarter, reflecting another impact of
Selling and marketing expense was $2.1 million
for the first quarter of 2023, compared with $1.2 million for the prior-year quarter. The increase was primarily due to higher tradeshow
and advertising expenses.
General and administrative expense was $1.4 million
for the first quarter of 2023, compared with $1.3 million for the first quarter of 2022. The increase was primarily due to higher professional
fees and travel expense offset by a reduction in insurance expense.
Research and development expense was $1.1 million
for the first quarter of 2023, compared with $0.7 million in the comparable 2022 period. The increase was primarily due to expenses related
to an ongoing aesthetic project during 2023 to develop a drug delivery system.
Other income of $0.2 million for the first quarter
of 2023 was related to interest income. Other income of $12.8 million for the year-ago quarter included the gain on the sale of a non-core
Net loss for the first quarter of 2023 was $1.9 million,
or $0.12 per share, compared with net income of $16.1 million, or $0.97 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2022. Net income for
the 2022 quarter included the gain on the sale of a non-core asset of $12.8 million, or $0.77 per diluted share.
Adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter of 2023 was
negative $2.7 million, compared with positive $16.9 million for the first quarter of 2022. Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure,
is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and stock-compensation expense. Please see below for a reconciliation
between GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures, and the specific reasons these non-GAAP financial measures are provided.
Cash and cash equivalents were $19.3 million as of
March 31, 2023, compared with $25.5 million as of December 31, 2022. The Company had no outstanding borrowings under its revolving line
of credit as of March 31, 2023 or December 31, 2022. Prepaid and other current assets were $10.7 million as of March 31, 2023, compared
with $6.9 million as of December 31, 2022. Inventories were $6.3 million as of March 31, 2023, compared with $3.5 million as of December
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information
This press release contains supplemental financial
information determined by methods other than in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP).
Sensus Healthcare management uses Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, in its analysis of the Company's performance. Adjusted
EBITDA should not be considered a substitute for GAAP basis measures, nor should it be viewed as a substitute for operating results determined
in accordance with GAAP. Management believes the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA, which excludes the impact of interest, income taxes,
depreciation, amortization and stock-compensation expense, provides useful supplemental information that is essential to a proper understanding
of the financial results of Sensus Healthcare. Non-GAAP financial measures are not formally defined by GAAP, and other entities may use
calculation methods that differ from those used by Sensus Healthcare. As a complement to GAAP financial measures, management believes
that Adjusted EBITDA assists investors who follow the practice of some investment analysts who adjust GAAP financial measures to exclude
items that may obscure underlying performance and distort comparability. A reconciliation of the GAAP net loss to Adjusted EBITDA is provided
in the schedule below.
