President and CEO Commentary:

"We are thrilled to announce another consecutive quarter of record growth. We recognized the highest quarterly revenues in the Company's history, and are poised for further expansion supported by Zynex's financial health," said Thomas Sandgaard, President and CEO. "Adjusted EBITDA margins continue to increase and represent our vigilance for growing top line revenue and managing operational efficiencies. Labor market dynamics have made attracting qualified sales reps and employees for our corporate headquarters in Colorado difficult. Therefore, we expect order growth to be fairly modest until the job market eventually normalizes and we are able to add additional reps to our sales force."

First Quarter and Full Year 2022 Guidance

Full year 2022 revenue is estimated in the range of $150-$170 million and Adjusted EBITDA between $25 and $35 million. The revenue range is based on the current labor shortage and growing the sales force at a slower cadence than previously anticipated. Adjusted EBITDA is impacted by increased operating expenses to support the Monitoring Division (ZMS) as the Kestrel products are prepared for FDA submission and the fluid monitor is readied for the market. These initiatives are currently estimated at an approximately $5M OPEX increase over 2021. Profitability is expected to grow as sales reps become more efficient, further highlighting the expected EBITDA growth in 2022.

First quarter 2022 revenue is estimated to range between $29 and $32 million, an increase of approximately 26% from 1Q21. Primarily affected by the resetting of health insurance deductibles in the beginning of a calendar year, seasonably lower revenues in the first quarter are a historical trend for Zynex and an industry norm.

First quarter 2022 Adjusted EBITDA is estimated to range between $3.0 and $4.5 million, an increase of approximately 1072% from 1Q21.

Sales and profit will ramp through the remainder of 2022 and bolster expected growth for the full year.
