Zynex Announces 2012 Year End Results

LONE TREE, CO--(Marketwire - March 14, 2013) -

Zynex, Inc. (OTCQB: ZYXI), a provider and developer of non-invasive medical devices for electrotherapy and stroke rehabilitation, neurological diagnosis and cardiac monitoring, announces its year end 2012 financial results.

The Company's net revenue increased 16% to $39,666,000 for 2012 from $34,148,000 for 2011. The Company's 2012 revenue was driven by its Zynex Medical subsidiary, in which the Company continued to see strong demand for its electrotherapy products. The Company generated 2012 net income of $1,553,000, or $0.05 per share, versus 2011 net income of $1,564,000 or $0.05 per share.

The Company reported a gross profit of $30,896,000, or 78% of net revenue, for 2012, as compared to a gross profit of $26,777,000, or 78% of net revenue, for 2011.

The Company reported Selling, General and Administrative (SG&A) expenses of $28,159,000, or 71% of net revenue, for 2012, as compared to $23,676,000, or 69% of net revenue, for 2011. Increases in the Company's SG&A expenses during 2012 were primarily attributable to sales and marketing (related to sales commissions based on the 16% increase in net revenue and headcount added to expand the Company's direct sales force) and increased investments made in the Company's Zynex NeuroDiagnostics and Zynex Monitoring Solutions subsidiaries.

The Company generated 2012 income from operations of $2,737,000, income before income taxes of $2,336,000 and net income of $1,553,000, versus 2011 income from operations of $3,101,000, income before income taxes of $2,644,000 and net income of $1,564,000. The Company's net revenue was at the top of its outlook for 2012, and net income per diluted share was slightly below the Company's 2012 outlook.

Thomas Sandgaard, CEO stated: "The last several years we focused on building our core Zynex Medical revenue base, through the aggressive addition of a direct and indirect sales force and necessary investments in our billing infrastructure. We believe our revenue has reached a point of critical mass, in which we now expect to improve profitability and free cash flow. We made certain operational improvements during the latter part of 2012, which resulted in fourth quarter selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net revenue of 66%. This compares to our year to date 2012 selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net revenue of 71% and year to date 2011 selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net revenue of 69%. We believe the reductions in our selling, general and administrative expenses will continue into 2013."

Mr. Sandgaard commented further: "Looking forward to 2013, we are evaluating additional products to add to our established distribution channel for both our Zynex Medical and Zynex NeuroDiagnostics subsidiaries and are in the process of expanding our presence in international markets. Our Zynex Monitoring Solutions subsidiary is progressing with clinical trials for our proprietary non-invasive blood volume monitoring device, which will run through most of 2013. We believe the potential end market for our non-invasive blood volume monitoring device could represent a significant opportunity if successful. During the fourth quarter of 2012, we established a new subsidiary, Zynex Billing and Consulting, to engage in medical billing and consulting for private medical practices. We believe our core medical billing knowledge allows us to leverage opportunities in the medical billing and consulting arena."

Outlook:
The Company anticipates net revenues of between $41 million and $44 million for 2013 and net income per diluted share of between $0.06 and $0.09 for 2013.
