Announces 2017 Fourth Quarter Earnings
CO - February 28, 2018 - Zynex, Inc. (OTCQB: ZYXI), an innovative medical technology company specializing
in the manufacture and sale of non-invasive medical devices for pain management, stroke rehabilitation, cardiac monitoring and
neurological diagnostics, today reported financial results for its fourth quarter ended December 31, 2017.
President and CEO Commentary:
Thomas Sandgaard, CEO commented: "I am pleased to report
net income of $3.3 million in the fourth quarter which continues our trend of bottom line improvement. Our revenue grew to $8.1
million, an increase of 19% compared to the third quarter and 178% above the fourth quarter of last year. Our gross profit margin
increased to 81% versus 76% in Q4-2016. I am particularly satisfied with our Adjusted EBITDA for the full year of $9.5 million.
We currently estimate our first quarter revenue to range between
$6.5 and $7.0 million with Adjusted EBITDA between $2.0 and $2.5 million. First quarter revenue is historically affected by health
insurance deductibles not being met in the beginning of the year. The revenue estimate is approximately 89% to 104% above last
year's first quarter revenue of $3.4 million.
Our flagship product, the NexWave, is an important technology
for physicians to prescribe in today's opioid crisis, allowing patients with debilitating pain access to prescription strength
pain relief without side effects. In many cases, our NexWave device should be prescribed as a first-line-of-defense before prescribing
medications such as opioids. I am dedicated to promote our technology in order to minimize addiction and other side effects from
prescription opioids."

Zynex reports its financial results in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the U.S. (GAAP). In addition, the Company is providing in this news release financial information
in the form of adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and stock compensation). Management
believes these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors and lenders in evaluating the overall financial health of the
Company in that they allow for greater transparency of additional financial data routinely used by management to evaluate performance.
Adjusted EBITDA can be useful for investors or lenders as an indicator of earnings available to service debt. Non-GAAP financial
measures should not be considered in isolation from or as an alternative to the financial information prepared in accordance with
Zynex, founded in 1996,
markets and sells its own design of electrotherapy medical devices used for pain management and rehabilitation; and the company's
proprietary NeuroMove device designed to help recovery of stroke and spinal cord injury patients. Zynex is also developing a new
blood volume monitor for use in hospitals and surgery centers. For additional information, please visit: Zynex.com.
