Myomo Reports Second Quarter 2019 Results

CAMBRIDGE, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Myomo, Inc. (NYSE American: MYO) (“Myomo” or the “Company”), a wearable medical robotics company that offers increased functionality for those suffering from neurological disorders and upper limb paralysis, today announced its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2019.

Recent Highlights and Accomplishments:

• Revenues for the second quarter 2019 of approximately $880,000 increased by 39% versus the comparable period of 2018, and Year-to-Date revenues of approximately $1,710,000 increased by 81% over the comparable period in 2018. Gross margin for the quarter was 72%, compared to 68% in the second quarter of 2018.
• The Company’s reimbursement pipeline contained 453 MyoPro units as of June 30, 2019, up 28% from 354 units at the end of the first quarter 2019 as the Company expanded its direct-to-patient marketing efforts.
• The Company is now obtaining reimbursements from the largest provider of Medicare Advantage insurance policies in the U.S.
• The Company expanded its international distribution network and received the first orders from O&P providers in Germany, Denmark, and Chile.

“We continue to see strong demand from patients and successful reimbursements for the MyoPro product line, which have resulted in quarterly revenue growth and an increasing backlog of insurance approvals and orders that will convert into revenue in the coming months. The online marketing, screening days, and broader geographic coverage – in the US and several overseas markets – is also working to build up the pipeline of future orders,” said Paul R. Gudonis, Chairman and CEO of Myomo. “A year ago, we had 92 MyoPro units in the reimbursement process; a year later that number has climbed to 453, a nearly 5-fold increase which we continue to expect will lead to significant revenue growth in 2019.”

Financial Results

Total revenue in the second quarter 2019 was approximately $880,000, an increase of 39%, versus the comparable period of 2018. Total revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2019 was approximately $1,710,000, an increase of 81%, versus the comparable period of 2018. Our results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, included higher unit volumes, offset by lower average selling prices due in part to higher sales to distributors.

Gross margin was 72% and 68% for the quarter ended June 30, 2019 and 2018. Gross margin was 75% and 67% for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018.

Operating expenses were approximately $3,336,000, an increase of $222,000, or 7%, during the three months ended June 30, 2019, versus the comparable period of 2018. Operating expenses were approximately $6,673,000, an increase of $951,000, or 17%, during the six months ended June 30, 2019. The increases in our operating expenses primarily reflect higher compensation costs associated with the addition of personnel, marketing and product development efforts, and increased spending to secure reimbursement.

The Company’s net loss for the quarter ended June 30, 2019 was approximately $2,565,000, or ($0.15) per share, compared with a net loss of approximately $2,630,000, or ($0.21) per share for the corresponding period of 2018. Net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2019 was approximately $5,163,000, or ($0.32) per share, compared with a net loss of approximately $4,975,000 or ($0.41) per share for the corresponding period of 2018.

Adjusted EBITDA¹ for the quarter ended June 30, 2019 was a loss of approximately $2,486,000, compared with a loss of approximately $2,512,000 for the corresponding period in 2018. Adjusted EBITDA for the six months ended June 30, 2019 was a loss of approximately $4,751,000, compared with a loss of approximately $4,564,000 for the corresponding period of 2018.
