LA JOLLA, Calif., Nov. 23, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --  MyDx, Inc. (OTCQB:MYDX), a rapidly growing science and technology company that has developed MyDx®, the first multi-use handheld chemical analyzer for consumers, today announced its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2016 and provided guidance that -- fueled in part by its new licensing model -- it expects to reach positive cash flow in the fourth quarter ending December 31, 2016 and achieve profitability in early 2017.

Strong, Third Quarter Operating Results
For the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company had net revenues of $134,240 and $219,180, respectively. The comparable decline in net revenues, year over year, reflects the revenues from CannaDx shipments in 2015 that were a cumulative buildup of nearly one year of pre-sales.  For the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, gross profit as a percentage of net revenues held steady at a healthy 40.2% and 40.8%, respectively.

For the three months ended September 30, 2016, the Company incurred operating expenses in the amount of $1,976,382 compared to $1,447,564 for the three months ended September 30, 2015. In the quarter ended September 30, 2016, the increase in expenses were a direct result of new investments made to create and launch a new global licensing model, with an initial emphasis across the greater China region.  The Company’s licensing deal is expected to generate a minimum of $2.5 million in Earnings over the next 5 years.

On an operating basis, for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, MyDx reported net cash used in operating activities declined approximately 83% to ($698,547) compared with ($4,104,595) in the nine months ended September 30, 2015. For the quarter ended September 30, 2016, MyDx posted a net loss of ($2.87 million) or ($0.08) per share compared with a net loss of ($1.36 million) or ($0.06) per share in the year earlier quarter.

Commenting on the Company’s achievements, Daniel R. Yazbeck, MyDx Chairman and CEO, said, “Over the last nine months, we streamlined our operations across the board, reducing our operating cash burn by 83% year over year, which solidifies our path towards becoming cashflow positive by the end of the fourth quarter and profitable in 2017. 

“During the third quarter, while completing the development, branding and launch of the AquaDx and OrganaDx product lines, we have been working diligently to create, negotiate and close a landmark Asian licensing distribution deal,” he added. “We are pleased to report successfully closing a 5 year $2.5 million high-margin transaction with our first licensing partner in China who will market and distribute the OrganaDx, AquaDx, and AeroDx product lines in that region.”

Q316 Progress: Triples Product Lines and Reaches Top of the iOS Charts

Driven by widespread liberalization of marijuana laws at the state level in the Nov. 8 US Election and a successful test marketing campaign, on November 15, the Company announced its CannaDxTM iOS smartphone app had catapulted to the top of the Apple iOS App Store Charts. This is a major accomplishment following its June 1, launch of its new, feature-rich CannaDxTM smart phone App for both iOS and Android platforms.

In addition to CannaDxTM Sensor launched in late 2015, in recent weeks, the Company has tripled its number of product lines launching two new Sensor Chips for its Analyzer that address major, global mass markets:

“We believe 2017 will be a watershed year for MyDx and its shareholders as we expand on our new products launches and licensing model. We extend our sincere thanks to our partners, customers, shareholders and industry advocates for their continued support of our mission,” Mr. Yazbeck concluded.
