Zynex Announces Third Quarter 2012 Financial Results

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

The Company's total net revenue increased 7% to $10,102,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2012 compared to $9,427,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2011. Year to date net revenue of $29,072,000 increased 19% over the prior year to date net revenue of $24,455,000. The Company's revenue increase for the third quarter and year to date 2012 was primarily driven by its Zynex Medical subsidiary, in which demand continues for its products, and a small amount of revenue was derived from its Zynex NeuroDiagnostics subsidiary.

The Company reported a gross profit of $7,886,000, or 78% of net revenue, for the third quarter of 2012, and $23,257,000, or 80% of net revenue, for the first nine months of 2012, as compared to a gross profit of $7,492,000, or 79% of net revenue, for the third quarter of 2011 and $19,349,000, or 79% of net revenue, for the first nine months of 2011.

The Company reported Selling, General and Administrative (SG&A) expenses of $7,174,000, or 71% of net revenue, for the three months ended September 30, 2012, and $21,127,000, or 73% of net revenue, for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, as compared to $6,389,000, or 68% of net revenue, for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and $17,486,000, or 72% of net revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. Increases in the Company's SG&A expenses during the first three and nine months of 2012 were primarily attributable to sales and marketing, specifically for sales commissions (based on the 7% and 19% increase in net revenue), expansion of the Company's Zynex Medical direct field sales force and investments made in the Company's Zynex Neurodiagnostics and Zynex Monitoring Solutions subsidiaries.

The Company generated a third quarter 2012 income from operations of $712,000, income before income taxes of $587,000 and net income of $358,000, or $0.01 per share, versus a third quarter 2011 income from operations of $1,103,000, income before income taxes of $1,016,000 and net income of $591,000, or $0.02 per share. The Company generated a 2012 year to date income from operations of $2,130,000, income before income taxes of $1,824,000 and net income of $1,151,000, or $0.04 per share, versus a 2011 year to date income from operations of $1,863,000, income before income taxes of $1,641,000 and net income of $965,000, or $0.03 per share.

Thomas Sandgaard, CEO stated: "We were pleased with our third quarter and year to date 2012 financial results. Our net revenue increased 7% and 19% during the three and nine month periods of 2012, respectively, as compared to the prior year. Our Zynex Medical subsidiary still represents the majority of our revenue; however, we are encouraged to see a growing contribution from our Zynex NeuroDiagnostics subsidiary. We continue to invest in our Zynex Medical and Zynex NeuroDiagnostics sales teams, through the addition of industry-experienced sales representatives, which allows us to serve new geographic markets and provide greater awareness of our product solutions to end users and physicians. Our Zynex Monitoring Solutions subsidiary is progressing with clinical trials for our proprietary blood volume monitoring device expected to run through the remainder of 2012."

Outlook:
The Company has refined its prior guidance by narrowing anticipated annual net revenue guidance to between $39 million and $40 million and narrowing the range of its net income per diluted share guidance to between $0.06 and $0.07 for 2012.
