President and CEO Commentary:
Thomas Sandgaard, CEO said: "I am excited about our order growth
in the first quarter of 140% which will continue to drive increasing revenue throughout 2021 and 2022. In the first quarter, we posted
revenue of $24.1 million. First quarter revenue is historically affected by health insurance deductibles not being met in the beginning
of the year. The combination of seasonality of deductibles along with the sales force investments we made during 2020 produced a small
loss in Q1 which was expected. Profitability is expected to ramp quickly beginning in second quarter with projected Adjusted EBITDA of
In the first quarter, we focused on productivity of our existing sales
reps and trimmed our sales force slightly below 500. We still expect to have over 600 sales reps by the end of 2021 with most of those
additions coming in the second half of the year.
We continue to advocate for pain patients, and for physicians to prescribe
our NexWave technology as the first line of defense in treating chronic and acute pain without side effects. We are dedicated to promoting
our technology in an effort to remove patient addiction and other side effects from prescription opioids."
Second Quarter and Full Year 2021 Guidance:
The estimated range for second quarter revenue is between $31.0 and
$32.5 million with Adjusted EBITDA between $3.0 and $4.0 million. The revenue estimate is approximately 61% to 69% above 2020 second quarter
revenue of $19.3 million.
Full year 2021 revenue is estimated between $135.0 and $150.0 million
with Adjusted EBITDA between $15.0 and $25.0 million. The full year revenue estimate is approximately 68% to 87% above 2020 revenue of
$80.1 million. We expect profitability to continually ramp throughout the year to meet our Adjusted EBITDA forecast of $15 to $25 million

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
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, other income/expense 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 available earnings. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered
in isolation from or as an alternative to the financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.
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 also has a blood volume monitor for use in hospitals and surgery centers. For additional
