Zynex Announces Second Quarter 2012 Financial Results


LONE TREE, CO--(Marketwire - Aug 7, 2012) - Zynex, Inc. (OTCBB: ZYXI), a provider and developer of non-invasive medical devices for electrotherapy and stroke rehabilitation, neurological diagnosis and cardiac monitoring, announces its second quarter 2012 unaudited financial results. 

The Company's total net revenue increased 19% to $10,026,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2012 from $8,395,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2011. Year to date net revenue of $18,970,000 increased 26% over the prior year to date net revenue. The Company's revenue increase for the second quarter and year to date 2012 was primarily driven by its Zynex Medical subsidiary, in which strong demand continues from its products, and a small amount of revenue was derived from its Zynex NeuroDiagnostics subsidiary. The Company generated net income of $473,000, or $0.02 per share in the second quarter of 2012 and net income of $793,000, or $0.03 per share for the first six months of 2012, versus a net income of $484,000, or $0.02 per share in the second quarter of 2011 and net income of $374,000, or $0.01 per share for the first six months of 2011.

The Company reported a gross profit of $8,240,000, or 82% of net revenue, for the second quarter of 2012, and $15,371,000, or 81% of net revenue, for the first six months of 2012, as compared to a gross profit of $6,668,000, or 79% of net revenue, for the second quarter of 2011 and $11,857,000, or 79% of net revenue, for the first six months of 2011.

The Company reported Selling, General and Administrative (SG&A) expenses of $7,308,000, or 73% of net revenue, for the three months ended June 30, 2012, and $13,953,000, or 74% of net revenue, for the six months ended June 30, 2012, as compared to $5,769,000, or 69% of net revenue, for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and $11,097,000, or 74% of net revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2011. Increases in the Company's SG&A expenses during the first three and six months of 2012 were primarily attributable to sales and marketing, specifically for sales commissions (based on the 19% and 26% increase in net revenue) and investments made to expand the Company's Zynex Medical field sales force.

The Company generated a second quarter 2012 income from operations of $932,000, income before income taxes of $844,000 and net income of $473,000, or $0.02 per share, versus a second quarter of 2011 income from operations of $899,000, income before income taxes of $822,000 and net income of $484,000, or $0.02 per share. The Company generated a 2012 year to date income from operations of $1,418,000, income before income taxes of $1,237,000 and net income of $793,000, or $0.03 per share, versus a 2011 year to date income from operations of $760,000, income before income taxes of $625,000 and net income of $374,000, or $0.01 per share.

Thomas Sandgaard, CEO stated: "We were pleased with our second quarter 2012 financial results, which were in line with our strong second quarter of the previous year. Our net revenue increased 19% and 26% during the three and six month periods of 2012, as compared to prior year, and increased 13% quarter over quarter, which is indicative of the demand for our Zynex Medical electrotherapy products and volume of orders our sales team continues to generate. Our Zynex Medical subsidiary still represents the majority of our revenue, but we are encouraged to see a contribution from our Zynex NeuroDiagnostics subsidiary, which includes the first quarter 2012 asset acquisition of NeuroDyne Medical. We continued to invest in our Zynex Medical and Zynex NeuroDiagnostics sales teams, through the addition of field sales representatives, which allowed us to expand our reach and penetration in key geographic markets. Our Zynex Monitoring Solutions subsidiary continues to make progress. We are currently participating in clinical trials expected to run through the remainder of 2012."

Outlook:
The Company confirms its initial guidance of anticipated total net revenue of between $38 million and $40 million for 2012 and net income per diluted share of between $0.06 and $0.08 for 2012.
