Management Commentary

“Our quarterly revenues continued to be negatively impacted by COVID-19, yet I am pleased with our ability to maintain strong customer ties during the pandemic as well as with recent activities that position Sensus Healthcare for significant future growth,” said Joe Sardano, chairman and chief executive officer. “The acquisition of two mobile laser companies announced earlier this week and the subsequent formation of the Sensus Laser Aesthetic Solutions (SLAS) division is expected to generate base revenues of $1.0 million over the next 12 months. We also have the opportunity to layer into this division our new aesthetic lasers, which are expected to receive 510(k) clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration by year-end. Together, these two acquired companies have approximately 30 lasers and six vans, and service some 150 dermatology practices across the State of Florida, including more than 500 that are not current Sensus customers. We also were attracted to this business as we expect aesthetic laser treatments to continue to grow, with demand from an aging demographic driving sales.

“We were delighted to announce the appointment of Benson Suen as Vice President of International Sales. Benson joined Sensus from one of our distribution partners in China, and he wasted no time in resuming shipments to China with the sale of an SRT-100™ during July. We have known Benson for years and he is a terrific addition to our team. We expect Benson will be able to jump-start our sales not only to China, but also to other Southeast Asian countries.

“Our preparations for the post-pandemic environment are ongoing. We continue to expand awareness of SRT and its utility in treating non-melanoma skin cancer, while supporting physician customers and protecting cash so we emerge from this crisis ready to do business. During the quarter we began sponsoring a series of online programs for dermatologists, providing a forum for sharing information and practice regimens with one another. These programs affirm SRT as an alternative to Mohs surgery, as physicians are reluctant to incur the risks of infection and adverse events during this time. To that end, we were delighted that ASTRO recently recommended SRT as the first-line alternative to surgery when treating patients with non-melanoma skin cancer.

“Lastly, we continue to work with Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) in order to revalue our main SRT billing code upward by Jan. 2, 2021. CMS has recommended the use of Evaluation and Management (E/M) codes for the treatment of NMSC using SRT. The E/M codes were increased. In the meantime, CMS has requested additional information from the Relative Value Scale Update Committee, otherwise known as the RUC. We will promptly comply with all requests through the proper channels. As a result, we continue to believe SRT will make significant market inroads commencing January 2, 2021. To date, we have penetrated only about 2% of the U.S. market, so clearly there is plenty of opportunity, and this COVID -19 impact has clearly identified SRT as a most valuable tool to treat NMSC as we share the very same patient profile,” Mr. Sardano concluded.

Second Quarter Financial Results

Revenues for the second quarter of 2020 were $1.2 million, compared with $7.5 million for the second quarter of 2019. Revenues were adversely impacted by lower unit sales throughout the quarter due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Gross profit for the second quarter of 2020 was $0.6 million, or 54.1% of revenues, compared with $4.9 million, or 66.1% of revenues, for the second quarter of 2019. The decrease in gross profit and gross margin are due to lower revenues.

Selling and marketing expense for the second quarter of 2020 was $1.2 million, compared with $2.0 million for the second quarter of 2019. The decrease was primarily attributable to cancellations of trade shows due to COVID-19, a decrease in commission expense due to lower sales and reduced spending on marketing activities.

General and administrative expense for the second quarter of 2020 was $0.9 million, compared with $1.0 million for the second quarter of 2019. The decrease was due to a reduction in headcount. The Company’s G&A expense going forward is expected to be around $1.1 million per quarter.

Research and development expense for the second quarter of 2020 was $1.1 million, compared with $1.9 million for the second quarter of 2019. The decrease was primarily due to a reduction in expenses related to development of the Sculptura system.

Net loss for the second quarter of 2020 was $2.6 million, or $0.16 per share, compared with net income of $0.1 million, or $0.01 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2019.

Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter of 2020 was negative $2.3 million, compared with $0.4 million for the second quarter of 2019. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and stock-compensation expense. Please see below for a reconciliation between GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures, and the specific reasons these non-GAAP financial measures are provided.

Cash, cash equivalents and investments were $18.9 million as of June 30, 2020, compared with $15.5 million as of December 31, 2019. At quarter-end the Company had no long-term debt and no outstanding borrowings on its revolving line of credit.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

This press release contains supplemental financial information determined by methods other than in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP). Sensus Healthcare management uses Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, in its analysis of performance. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered a substitute for GAAP basis measures nor should it be viewed as a substitute for operating results determined in accordance with GAAP. Management believes the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA, which excludes the impact of interest, income taxes, depreciation, amortization and stock compensation expense, provides useful supplemental information that is essential to a proper understanding of the financial results of Sensus Healthcare. Non-GAAP financial measures are not formally defined by GAAP, and other entities may use calculation methods that differ from those used by Sensus Healthcare. As a complement to GAAP financial measures, management believes that Adjusted EBITDA assists investors who follow the practice of some investment analysts who adjust GAAP financial measures to exclude items that may obscure underlying performance and distort comparability. A reconciliation of the GAAP net loss to Adjusted EBITDA is provided in the schedule below.
