LOUIS, MO, Aug. 7, 2018 - Stereotaxis, Inc. (OTCQX: STXS), the global leader in innovative robotic technologies for
the treatment of cardiac arrhythmias, today reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2018.
second quarter was notable for the strategic agreements announced with Johnson & Johnson's Biosense Webster and with
Acutus Medical. These agreements are important parts of our broader strategic innovation initiative, which continues to advance
both internally and in collaboration with others," said David Fischel, Chairman and CEO.
recurring revenue growth in the quarter represents the fourth consecutive quarter of year-over-year growth, putting us on track
to achieve record recurring revenue this year. Our commercial focus remains on developing the institutional infrastructure and

are simultaneously investing in our future and enhancing our capabilities while being financially disciplined and attentive to
shareholder value. Consistent with our previous guidance, our cash balance increased during the second quarter."
increase in quantity and quality of peer-reviewed clinical literature supporting our technology continued in the second quarter.
Twenty-four publications have showcased our technology year-to-date. A recent publication in the International Journal of Cardiology
by Dr. Qiu et al from Ruijin Hospital in Shanghai compared robotic magnetic navigation to manual catheters in 152 patients suffering
from premature ventricular contractions. No complications occurred in patients treated robotically, a stark contrast to the 4.5%
rate of major adverse events in patients treated with manual catheters. Patients treated robotically were exposed to 69% less
radiation and showed a trend towards higher acute procedure success. Procedure times were equivalent between both arms."

million in the first quarter of 2018. Free cash flow in the second quarter was positively impacted by the timing of receivable
