EDAP TMS S.A.: EDAP Reports Second Quarter 2024 Financial Results

Finanznachrichten News
  • Record Q2 2024 total worldwide revenue of EUR 15.8 million (USD 17.0 million) increased 10.6% over Q2 2023
  • Record first half 2024 total worldwide revenue of EUR 30.7 million (USD 33.1 million) increased 5.6% over first half 2023
  • Strong Q2 2024 U.S. Focal One® HIFU procedure growth of +63% year-over-year
  • Company to host conference call and webcast today, August 28th, at 8:30 a.m. EDT

LYON, France, August 28, 2024 - EDAP TMS SA (Nasdaq: EDAP), the global leader in robotic energy-based therapies, reported today unaudited consolidated financial results for the second quarter of 2024.

"We continue to see growing demand for our proprietary and leading Focal One robotic HIFU technology platform. In the second quarter, we placed five Focal One systems, which included placements with two additional National Cancer Institute (NCI) designated comprehensive cancer centers. A growing number of top tier cancer research and treatment centers continue to adopt Focal One to help patients manage their prostate cancer, which reflects the innovation and positive clinical outcomes of our leading robotic HIFU platform," said Ryan Rhodes, Chief Executive Officer of EDAP TMS. "We also experienced strong year over year procedure growth, which points towards the growing adoption of robotic HIFU amongst urologists across both academic and community hospitals.

"There is also an increasing body of clinical evidence that supports the continued adoption of Focal One as a frontline treatment for localized prostate cancer. The final results from the groundbreaking, prospective HIFI study were presented at this year's EAU and AUA scientific meetings. This data clearly demonstrates that Focal One robotic HIFU is at least as effective as radical prostatectomy as a first line treatment for localized disease, but with the added potential for improved functional outcomes with respect to both the preservation of urinary continence and sexual function. We believe the HIFI study helps pave the way for broader adoption of our HIFU technology. We expect the results from the HIFI study, in combination with the recent investments in our commercial team, should help drive strong adoption of Focal One throughout the second half of the year."

Business Update

  • On August 27, 2024, Marc Oczachowski resigned as Chairman of the Company's Board of Directors in order to allow him more time to focus on other endeavors. In order to provide for a smooth transition for the Board of Directors, the effective date of the resignation will be September 30, 2024.

  • On July 8, 2024, the Company appointed Fran Schulz to its Board of Directors. Ms. Schulz is a seasoned executive with over 35 years of experience with EY who has spent her career working with large public and emerging private companies throughout the life sciences industry. She has deep experience guiding companies to execute a broad range of corporate deals including collaboration agreements, corporate spin-offs, reorganizations, and mergers and acquisitions, with personal involvement in over 100 total equity and debt transactions, raising over $15 billion in aggregate.
  • On August 6, 2024, the Company announced that Focal One Robotic HIFU was featured at the 41st World Congress of Endourology and Uro-Technology (WCET 2024) meeting, which took place in Seoul, Korea, from August 12-16, 2024. The Company had a significant presence at WCET 2024, reflecting the increasing trend amongst urologists for utilizing non-invasive HIFU technology for the management of prostate cancer. In addition to providing hands-on Focal One simulations for urologists in attendance, this year's WCET meeting included a featured semi-live Focal One clinical procedure conducted by Dr. Tarik Benidir, Clinical Assistant Professor from the University of Florida.

  • On June 3, 2024, the Company appointed Damien Desmedt and Alexander Fromm to further strengthen the EDAP's European and Middle Eastern commercial leadership. Mr. Desmedt was appointed Vice President of Sales for Europe, Middle East, Africa, and India (EMEAI), and Mr. Fromm was appointed General Manager for Switzerland and will oversee several strategic European territories.

  • On May 6, 2024, the Company announced that final results from a large, prospective, multicenter, non-inferiority study, the HIFI Study, comparing Focal One® high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) versus radical prostatectomy (RP) were presented at the 119th American Urological Association Annual Meeting (AUA 2024), which took place from May 3-6, 2024, in San Antonio, Texas, USA. Professor Pascal Rischmann of Rangueil University Hospital in Toulouse, France, and lead investigator of the HIFI Study, highlighted the final results from the study during an oral presentation at the AUA plenary session, "Paradigm-shifting, Practice-changing Clinical Trials in Urology".

Clinical Pipeline Update

Endometriosis Program

  • On July 19, 2024, the Company announced interim results from its Phase 3 study evaluating robotic HIFU for the treatment of deep infiltrating endometriosis. The interim data show that robotic HIFU therapy continues to maintain an excellent safety profile, confirming positive safety data from prior Phase 1 and 2 studies in patients with deep infiltrating endometriosis. At three months post procedure, the study's primary endpoint of reduced acute pelvic pain in the HIFU treatment arm compared to the Sham treatment arm was not met. Significant improvements were observed across primary and secondary outcome measures (endometriosis and digestive symptoms) across the entire study population at three months. As measured by MRI, patients receiving robotic HIFU therapy experienced higher volume reductions in the endometriosis nodule as compared to patients in the Sham treatment arm. The Phase 3 study continues per protocol, with several patients initially in the Sham treatment arm having elected and already received HIFU therapy after their pelvic pain returned to baseline levels.

Benign Prostate Hyperplasia (BPH) Program

  • On July 26, 2024, the Company received approval from the French National Agency for Medicines and Health Products Safety (ANSM) to initiate a Phase 1-2 Clinical Trial investigating Focal One Robotic HIFU in the treatment of Benign Prostate Hyperplasia (BPH). This company-sponsored multicenter study is designed as a 2-phase study: the first phase will take place at two leading academic prostate treatment centers in France with a recognized expertise in the treatment of BPH as well as in the use of Focal One HIFU technology. This first phase is designed as a HIFU dose escalation protocol aimed at defining the optimal treatment parameters to effectively treat BPH and its related symptoms with minimal side effects. The second phase of the study will expand patient enrollment across a larger number of treatment centers in order to validate the safety and efficacy of the parameters defined during the first phase of the study.

Second Quarter 2024 Results

Total worldwide revenue for the second quarter of 2024 was EUR 15.8 million (USD 17.0 million), an increase of 10.6% as compared to worldwide revenue of EUR 14.3 million (USD 15.5 million) for the same period in 2023.

Total revenue in the HIFU business for the second quarter of 2024 was EUR 4.8 million (USD 5.2 million), as compared to EUR 4.9 million (USD 5.3 million) for the second quarter of 2023. Three Focal One systems were sold during the second quarter of 2024 versus four systems sold in the second quarter of 2023. Despite the 1 unit decrease year over year, the Company recorded a 29.4% year-over-year growth in worldwide disposables revenues, driven by the 63% Focal One procedure growth in the US.

Total revenue in the Distribution business for the second quarter of 2024 was EUR 8.7 million (USD 9.4 million), as compared to EUR 7.2 million (USD 7.8 million) for the second quarter of 2023. The increase in Distribution revenue was driven primarily by 12 ExactVu units sold during the second quarter of 2024 as compared to 9 units sold during the second quarter of 2023.

Total revenue in the LITHO business for the second quarter of 2024 was EUR 2.3 million (USD 2.5 million), as compared to EUR 2.2 million (USD 2.4 million) for the second quarter of 2023. The increase in LITHO revenue was driven by 3 lithotripsy units sold in the second quarter of 2024 as compared to 2 units sold in the second quarter of 2023.

Gross profit for the second quarter of 2024 was EUR 5.9 million (USD 6.4 million), compared to EUR 5.7 million (USD 6.1 million) for the year-ago period. Gross profit margin on net sales was 37.5% in the second quarter of 2024, compared to 39.6% for the comparable period in Q2 2023. The decrease in gross profit margin year-over-year was primarily due to product mix shift and higher cost of goods sold.

Operating expenses were 12.1 million euros (USD 13.0 million) for the second quarter, compared to 9.9 million euros (USD 10.7 million) for the same period in 2023. The increase in operating expenses was due to the continued investments made in the global commercial and R&D functions in anticipation of growing demand for Focal One.

Operating loss for the second quarter of 2024 was EUR 6.1 million (USD 6.6 million), compared to an operating loss of EUR 4.2 million (USD 4.6 million) in the second quarter of 2023.
