    LYON, France, November 9, 2023 - EDAP TMS SA (Nasdaq: EDAP), the global leader in robotic energy-based therapies, reported today unaudited financial results for the third quarter ending September 30, 2023.

    “We continue to see stronger awareness and acceptance of focal therapy as a necessity in the management and treatment of prostate cancer,” said Ryan Rhodes, Chief Executive Officer of EDAP TMS. “Within this category, Focal One Robotic High-Intensity Focal Ultrasound (HIFU) continues to be embraced as the leading platform of choice amongst both urologists and their patients. Reflecting this growing demand, we continue to see robust procedure growth among our installed base, with the number of Focal One HIFU procedures in the U.S. increasing by 150% year-over-year in the third quarter. As the number of procedures grows, we expect our positive momentum to continue based on excellent patient outcomes and the strategic investments we are making into our commercial and clinical teams to support the growing demand for Focal One HIFU.”

    “Entering the fourth quarter of 2023, our pipeline remains very strong, and we expect demand for the Focal One platform will continue to grow in a balanced manner across both academic and community urology practices,” continued Mr. Rhodes. “With $50.5 million in cash, our balance sheet remains strong and we will continue to strategically invest across our commercial operations to drive productivity and support the growing demand for Focal One Robotic HIFU. As we approach the new year, EDAP continues to build momentum in our business, and we are well positioned as a market leader in focal therapy.”

    Business Update

    • Placed two Focal One systems during the third quarter of 2023. One Focal One unit was sold to University of Florida, and the second Focal One unit was placed at Cleveland Clinic, Abu Dhabi. Following the close of the third quarter, the Company has placed an additional two Focal One systems, including one in the U.S., reflecting increasing recognition among clinicians and providers that Focal One is becoming an essential option to effectively treat select prostate cancer patients.
    • In July, the Company announced reimbursement approval in Switzerland for the use of HIFU in the treatment of prostate cancer; reimbursement took effect on July 1, 2023. Switzerland is a member of the DACH market region (including Germany, Austria and Switzerland) with over 100 million combined total inhabitants. Switzerland has many hospitals ranked amongst the best 250 in the world according to Newsweek’s “The World’s Best Hospitals 2023”. Included in this list is the University of Zurich, an active and prominent Focal One site and the leading innovation center for HIFU in the country. The University of Zurich is also a member of the League of European Research Universities, placing it among Europe's most prestigious research institutions. 
    • During the third quarter of 2023, Focal One was showcased at multiple regional, national and international scientific meetings through booth demonstrations as well as poster and podium presentations led by some of the most prominent specialists in the field of prostate cancer and focal therapy, including 13th International Symposium on Focal Therapy in Washington, DC (Sep 7-9), and the first Society of Urologic Oncology-approved Fellows Focal Therapy Course hosted by Cleveland Clinic (Sep 21-22).

    Clinical Pipeline Update

    Rectal Endometriosis Program

    • The ongoing Phase 3 double-blind, randomized controlled trial evaluating Focal One HIFU for the treatment of deep infiltrating rectal endometriosis has already enrolled 50 of the 60 planned patients as of today, and enrollment is expected to be completed before year-end.
    • In October, positive results from the previously reported Endo-HIFU-R1 Phase 2 study in deep-infiltrating rectal endometriosis were presented by Professor Gil Dubernard, Head of Gynecology-Obstetric Department, Croix-Rousse University Hospital, Lyon, France, at the European Society for Gynecological Endoscopy Annual Congress in Brussels, Belgium. Yesterday, Professor Dubernard also presented the results from this important study at the 52nd Meeting of the American Association of Gynecologic Laparoscopists (AAGL) in Nashville, TN.

    Immunotherapy Clinical Research Collaboration with Mount Sinai Department of Urology

    During the third quarter, EDAP entered into a clinical research collaboration with the prestigious Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai Department of Urology in New York to accelerate the understanding of the role of immunotherapy treatment in conjunction with high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) in patients with prostate cancer. Focal therapy using HIFU delivers precise ablative energy to a targeted prostate lesion and existing research shows such treatment increases the immune response. The purpose of the collaboration is to understand if HIFU in combination with immunotherapy can generate measurable oncologic results in patients with prostate cancer. The research is being supervised by an internationally recognized leader in the field, Dr. Ashutosh Tewari, the Chairman of the Urology at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai Hospital.

    Upcoming Corporate Presentations

    • EDAP will present on November 14 at the upcoming Jefferies LLC Global Healthcare Conference (November 14-16, London, UK)
    • EDAP will participate in a fireside chat on November 29 at the upcoming Piper Sandler 35th Annual Healthcare Conference (November 28-30, New York City)

    Third Quarter 2023 Results

    Total revenue for the third quarter of 2023 was EUR 11.7 million (USD 12.7 million), a decrease of 4.1% as compared to total revenue of EUR 12.2 million (USD 12.3 million) for the same period in 2022.

    Total revenue in the HIFU business for the third quarter of 2023 was EUR 3.0 million (USD 3.3 million), as compared to EUR 3.5 million (USD 3.5 million) for the third quarter of 2022. The decrease was driven by 1 Focal One system sold in the third quarter 2023 versus 3 systems sold in the third quarter of 2022. Despite the modest decrease in overall HIFU sales, the Company recorded a 49.2% year over year growth in disposables revenues, reflecting strong procedure growth.

    Total revenue in the LITHO business for the third quarter of 2023 was EUR 2.7 million (USD 2.9 million), as compared to EUR 2.2 million (USD 2.2 million) for the third quarter of 2022. The increase in LITHO revenue was driven by 7 lithotripsy units sold in the third quarter of 2023 as compared to 2 units sold in the third quarter of 2022.

    Total revenue in the Distribution business for the third quarter of 2023 was EUR 6.0 million (USD 6.5 million), as compared to EUR 6.6 million (USD 6.6 million) for the third quarter of 2022. The decline in Distribution revenue was driven primarily by 9 ExactVu units sold during the third quarter of 2023 as compared to 12 units sold during the third quarter of 2022.

    Gross profit for the third quarter of 2023 was EUR 4.2 million (USD 4.5 million), compared to EUR 5.0 million (USD 5.0 million) for the year-ago period. Gross profit margin on net sales was 35.5% in the third quarter of 2023, compared to 41.0% in the year-ago period. The decrease in gross profit margin year-over-year was primarily due to three main factors: the adverse impact from delayed sales of U.S. Focal One systems in the quarter, higher mix of distribution product with lower gross margin and continued investments in the U.S. field service and clinical application organizations to further support HIFU adoption and long-term revenue growth.

    Operating expenses were EUR 9.7 million (USD 10.5 million) for the third quarter of 2023, compared to EUR 7.2 million (USD 7.2 million) for the same period in 2022. The increase in operating expenses was primarily due to the continued strategic and planned build-out of the U.S. team and commercial infrastructure and increased marketing activities.

    Operating loss for the third quarter of 2023 was EUR 5.6 million (USD 6.0 million), compared to an operating loss of EUR 2.1 million (USD 2.2 million) in the third quarter of 2022.

    Net loss for the third quarter of 2023 was EUR 3.9 million (USD 4.3 million), or EUR 0.11 per diluted share, as compared to net income of EUR 0.0 million (USD 0.0 million), or EUR 0.00 per diluted share in the year-ago period.

    Year-to-Date Results

    Total revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, was EUR 40.8 million (USD 44.2 million), an increase of 3.6% from total revenue of EUR 39.4 million (USD 41.7 million) for the same period in 2022.

    Total revenue in the HIFU business for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, was EUR 13.1 million (USD 14.2 million), an increase of 28.1% as compared to EUR 10.3 million (USD 10.9 million) for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

    Total revenue in the LITHO business for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, was EUR 7.6 million (USD 8.3 million), a decrease of 4.0% from EUR 8.0 million (USD 8.4 million) for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

    Total revenue in the Distribution business for nine months ended September 30, 2023, was EUR 20.0 million (USD 21.7 million), a 5.4% decrease compared to EUR 21.2 million (USD 22.4 million) for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

    Gross profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, was EUR 15.8 million (USD 17.2 million), compared to EUR 17.0 million (USD 18.0 million), for the year-ago period. Gross profit margin on net sales was 38.8% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to 43.1% for the comparable period in 2022. The decrease in gross profit margin year-over-year was primarily due to three main factors: Distribution product mix, global inflationary price pressure on components which increased manufacturing costs, and continued investments in our U.S. service and clinical application organizations to support HIFU and long-term revenue growth.

    Operating expenses were EUR 32.2 million (USD 34.8 million) for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to EUR 19.7 million (USD 20.8 million) for the same period in 2022. The increase in operating expenses is mainly due to the strategic and planned build-out of the U.S. team and commercial infrastructure, and non-recurring expenses linked to the leadership succession plan.

    Operating loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, was EUR 16.3 million (USD 17.7 million), compared to an operating loss of EUR 2.7 million (USD 2.8 million) for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

    Net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, was EUR 16.1 million (USD 17.5 million), or EUR 0.44 per diluted share, as compared to a net income of EUR 2.2 million (USD 2.3 million), or EUR 0.06 per diluted share in the year-ago period.

    As of September 30, 2023, the Company held cash and cash equivalents of EUR 47.7 million (USD 50.5 million) as compared to EUR 63.1 million (USD 67.5 million) as of December 31, 2022.
