Equity Research is published in the framework of the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange (TASE) Analysis Program
TEL AVIV, Israel, July 4, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- TASE analysis project was launched in 2016 in order to raise the investors' level of knowledge of TASE listed technology and life-science companies and the markets in which the companies operate, thus creating appropriate pricing and increasing the exposure of investors from Israel and abroad. Its goal is to encourage investments in these companies by removing the barrier of lacking understanding in the market.
In order to maintain professional, independent and unbiased analysis, the companies signed an agreement with the TASE to receive the analysis services for an obligatory period of two years. The companies cannot withdraw from the project during this period. The analysis is funded by the companies surveyed with funding from the Chief Scientist and the TASE.
Summary of Highlights
In the first quarter of 2018, the Company reported the following major developments:
During the quarter, the company recorded revenues of $3.6 million, of which 58% stemmed from rental agreements for its devices and the remainder from sales of devices.
- Sales were similar to Q4-2017, however, compared to the corresponding quarter in 2017 revenues grew significantly. Revenues from rental agreements grew 45%, whilst revenues from sales grew 113%.
- The Company's operating loss decreased slightly to $1.4 million; Cash used for current operations also reduced to about $600,000 in the quarter.
- The company's available cash balance is $15.4 million, meaning that the company can complete its strategic plans without the need to raise additional capital in the coming year.
The company received FDA approval to market the company's system in the US with the new stimulator.
- On May 3, 2018, the company announced that it had received approval from the FDA for marketing in the US of the TMS Deep system with the new stimulator developed by the company
- The new stimulator is an upgrade of the company's system capabilities from several aspects, including: improved energy efficiency, user-friendly software, storage and retrieval of therapeutic information throughout the therapeutic program, and technical monitoring of the functioning of the system – e.g. the company will be able to verify payments required by the therapists for its systems. The company estimates that the new stimulator will be delivered to US customers in the coming months after completion of the beta site.
In view of all these considerations, we maintain our previous valuation of the company's value of $129.5 million / NIS 453 million; target price of NIS 26.3 – NIS 28.6, and on average NIS 27.5.
- On December 11, 2017, the Company entered into a private placement agreement with leading investment parties in Israel led by HaPhoenix.
- The significant capital raised by the Company strengthens its financial stability and enables it to continue supporting clinical development and regulatory submissions, whilst also expanding its presence in the US by recruiting marketing and sales personnel to further establish the rental model.
