Myomo, Inc. Reports Third Quarter 2017 Results

Myomo, Inc. (NYSE American: MYO) (“Myomo” or the “Company”), a commercial stage medical robotics company, today reports its financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017.

Highlights and Achievements in the Third Quarter 2017 and Year To-date:

The third quarter of 2017 marked Myomo’s first full quarter as a publicly traded company. Total revenue for the third quarter increased 165% year over year to $489,000, compared to $184,000 for the third quarter of 2016. Third quarter revenue increased 59% compared with the second quarter of 2017. Gross margin in the third quarter was 75%, up from 58% in the year ago period and from 68% last quarter. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, total revenue increased 54% to $1,011,000, as compared to $655,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. Commercial activities in the third quarter included:

  • Launch of MyoPro® For Veterans, a strategic awareness program that broadens accessibility of MyoPro powered upper limb orthotics (arm brace) to the many veterans of the U.S. Armed Forces that could potentially benefit from the technology.
  • Showcased MyoPro 2 at the American Orthotics and Prosthetics Association World Congress (AOPA) in Las Vegas, NV. Over 2,500 attendees participated in the conference. Myomo featured events included clinician presentations on patient outcomes with MyoPro.
  • Increased MyoPro awareness to physiatrists with events held at the American Academy of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (AAPM&R) Annual Assembly in Denver, CO. Clinician reported outcomes for a spinal cord injury patient using MyoPro was featured in the poster session.
  • Ongoing Ottobock clinician and sales training in Germany, with first patient fitted with MyoPro.

These activities are part of the Myomo's transition from a Controlled Introduction to beginning the scaling up of commercial operations and distribution in US and international markets. The Company expects that these programs will result in greater patient demand from increased awareness, more referral sources from rehab hospitals, and a broader footprint of MyoPro Centers of Excellence for product distribution.

Paul R. Gudonis, Chairman & CEO of Myomo, commented: “We are pleased to report 165% year over year and 59% sequential revenue growth in the third quarter of 2017. Sales and marketing programs we have established, including MyoPro Centers of Excellence, Ottobock distribution agreement, and next generation MyoPro 2 product line, are paving way for our growth agenda. We are pleased to report positive clinical and patient feedback, facilitating efforts to serve the large, unmet market need to restore function in paralyzed or weakened upper limbs.”

Total revenue was $489,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2017; an increase of $304,000, or 165%, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2016. During the quarter, product revenue increased $279,000 versus the comparable period of 2016. The increase was due primarily to product sales to our distributor Ottobock. We recognized $30,000 of grant revenue during the three months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to $5,000 in the year ago period.

Gross margin was 75% for the quarter ended September 30, 2017, as compared to 58% for the three months ended June 30, 2016. The increase was due to lower inventory and warranty provisions during the quarter, as well as higher research grant revenues which have higher gross margins.

Research and development expenses were $329,000, an increase of $92,000, or 39%, during the three months ended September 30, 2017, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2016. The increase was primarily due to additional engineering personnel costs of $72,000.

Selling, general and administrative costs of $1,470,000 increased $667,000, or 83%, during the three months ended September 30, 2017, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2016, primarily due to employee compensation, which includes stock-based compensation expense, and also due to professional fees, travel expenses and an increase in clinical research to support reimbursement efforts for our products.

Interest and other income, net was $176,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2017, as compared with a net expense of $84,000 in the three months ended September 30, 2016. This change was due primarily to a decrease in the fair value of derivative liabilities. The decrease in interest expense, and other expense net was due to lower interest expense reflecting the conversion of our convertible promissory notes into common stock on June 9, 2017, our IPO closing date.

The Company’s net loss for the quarter ended September 30, 2017 amounted to $1,259,000, compared with a net loss of $1,018,000 for the corresponding 2016 period. Net loss available to common stockholders for the quarter ended September 30, 2017 was $1,259,000 or ($0.21) per share, compared with a net loss available to common stockholders of $1,211,000, or ($1.09) per share, for the corresponding year ago period. The increase in net loss was primarily due higher operating expenses incurred in the quarter.

Adjusted EBITDA1 for the quarter ended September 30, 2017 was a loss of $1,490,000, compared with a loss of $887,000 for the corresponding 2016 period. A reconciliation of GAAP to this non-GAAP financial measure has been provided in the financial statement tables included in this press release. An explanation of this measure is also included below under the heading “Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”

Cash on hand at September 30, 2017 was $4,958,000, compared to $797,000 at December 31, 2016. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we used $4,723,000 of cash in operating activities, compared to $2,299,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The increase in cash reflects the net proceeds from our IPO, and $2,923,000 from our concurrent private placement, in addition to $1,770,000 of additional convertible notes issued during the year partially offset by the $4,723,000 million of net cash used in operating activities.
