Fourth Quarter Financial Results Summary:

For the fourth quarter, the Company reported net revenue of $14.2 million, a 52% increase over the fourth quarter of 2018. Gross margins were 80% in the fourth quarter of 2019 and net income was $2.9 million.

Adjusted EBITDA was $4.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2019.

The Company generated $2.1 million of cash from operations during the fourth quarter of 2019. As of December 31, 2019, the Company had working capital of $17.4 million a 137% increase compared to $7.3 million at December 31, 2018. Cash on hand was $14.0 million at the end of the fourth quarter.

President and CEO Commentary:

Thomas Sandgaard, CEO said: "In the fourth quarter, we posted revenue of $14.2 million, which is the highest quarterly revenue in the history of the Company and net income of $2.9 million. Orders grew 129% compared to the fourth quarter of 2018 up from 95% year-over-year growth in the third quarter.

"In the fourth quarter, we continued to focus on the execution of our growth strategy and the related growth of our sales force. We expect the addition of new sales reps to have an impact on order and revenue growth this year and going forward. In addition, we continue to invest in our infrastructure to support the increase in order volume.

"We continue to advocate for pain patients, and for physicians to prescribe our NexWave technology as the first line of defense in treating chronic and acute pain without side effects. We are dedicated to promoting our technology in an effort to remove patient addiction and other side effects from prescription opioids."

First Quarter and Full Year 2020 Guidance:

The estimate range for the first quarter revenue is between $14.0 and $14.5 million with Adjusted EBITDA between $2.3 and $2.8 million as we continue to invest in growing our sales force. The revenue estimate is approximately 52% to 58% above 2019 first quarter revenue of $9.2 million. First quarter revenue is historically affected by health insurance deductibles not being met in the beginning of the year.

Full year 2020 revenue is estimated between $75.0 and $80.0 million with Adjusted EBITDA between $15.0 and $18.0 million. The full year revenue estimate is approximately 65% to 76% above 2019 revenue of $45.5 million.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Zynex reports its financial results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (GAAP). In addition, the Company is providing in this news release financial information in the form of Adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, other income/expense and stock compensation). Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors and lenders in evaluating the overall financial health of the Company in that they allow for greater transparency of additional financial data routinely used by management to evaluate performance. Adjusted EBITDA can be useful for investors or lenders as an indicator of earnings available to service debt. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from or as an alternative to the financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.
