Management Commentary

"Our record fourth quarter financial results continue the steady business momentum and double-digit revenue growth we have been reporting consistently since our initial public offering in 2016," said Joe Sardano, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "I am very pleased with the achievement of our short- and long-term goals to date and we expect to build on this momentum in the years ahead."

"Sensus shipped 27 systems during the quarter, and again more than half were our premium SRT-100 Visions, which have enhanced capabilities such as image guidance, treatment planning software and comprehensive enterprise integration.  We are proud to have shipped our 100^th Vision system during the quarter.  In August 2018 Sensus received FDA 510(k) clearance to market our new SRT-100+, which added several innovative features to our SRT-100 product for the treatment of non-melanoma skin cancer and keloids, including an expanded energy range for customized, more precise treatment.  We shipped three of these systems during the quarter, including two to plastic surgeons who installed the unit specifically for the treatment of keloid scars."

Mr. Sardano continued, "We were delighted to ship two SRT-100 units to a two-site physician practice in China, thus reflecting demand for our products despite the current geopolitical uncertainty between the U.S. and China, and China's economic environment. China has the world's highest incidence of post-surgical keloid scar formation, and we are pleased to be furthering our efforts to eliminate the suffering of millions of people with this condition in that country.

"We expect continued interest in our SRT systems for the treatment of keloids on the heels of a peer-reviewed paper published in November showing a recurrence rate of only 3% among keloidectomy patients treated post-operatively with SRT, compared with a reported recurrence rate of approximately 71% following keloidectomy without the use of SRT.

Mr. Sardano continued, "We continued to spend significantly on R&D in the fourth quarter, however less than the prior year when we made the initial submission of the 510(k) application for our new Intraoperative Radiation Therapy (IORT) system (Sculptura) for treating breast and other cancers.  Following a months-long process of addressing all FDA questions, we are hopeful the system will be cleared in the coming weeks.  In preparation for the commercial launch, we manufactured several units to be used in key research institutions and we have completed the expansion of our oncology sales force.  We shipped a unit in December to the Perelman Center for Advanced Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, and expect this prestigious medical center will provide us with additional supportive data for the market. We expect our Sculptura system, which features key technological advances and carries a list price of $1.5 million, will play an important role in the growth of Sensus in the coming years."

Mr. Sardano concluded, "In the fourth quarter we had record quarterly revenue of $8.1 million and with control over spending we were able to achieve net income of $0.1 million and adjusted EBITDA of $0.4 million.  The fourth quarter capped an excellent and active year during which we increased revenues by 28% to $26.4 million, raised almost $16.0 million in net proceeds in an underwritten offering of common stock, opened a new subsidiary in Israel for R&D and to serve as a sales base for Europe and the Middle East, and received multiple U.S. and overseas regulatory clearances for our products.  We strengthened our management team with new hires in sales, marketing and clinical development, and engaged additional international distributors.  We have an active plan for 2019 including launching our Sculptura system, increasing awareness for the use of SRT in keloid treatment and prevention, and signing additional distributors outside the U.S."

Fourth Quarter 2018 Financial Results

Revenues for the fourth quarter of 2018 increased 25% to $8.1 million, compared with $6.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2017.  The increase was primarily attributable to more units being sold, including an increase in sales of the higher-priced SRT-100 Vision product.

Selling and marketing expense for the fourth quarter of 2018 was $2.4 million, compared with $2.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2017.  The increase was primarily due to higher commission expense directly related to the increase in sales.

Research and development expense for the fourth quarter of 2018 was $1.5 million, compared with $1.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2017. The decrease was due to higher expenses in the 2017 fourth quarter associated with the initial submission of a 510(k) application to the FDA for our IORT product.

Net income for the fourth quarter of 2018 was $0.1 million, or $0.01 per diluted share, compared with a net loss of $(0.4) million, or $(0.03) per share, for the fourth quarter of 2017. 

Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter of 2018 was $0.4 million, compared with $(0.2) million for the fourth quarter of 2017.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

This press release contains supplemental financial information determined by methods other than in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP).  Sensus Healthcare management uses Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, in its analysis of performance. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered a substitute for GAAP basis measures nor should it be viewed as a substitute for operating results determined in accordance with GAAP.  Management believes the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA, which excludes the impact of interest, income taxes, depreciation, amortization and stock-compensation expense, provides useful supplemental information that is essential to a proper understanding of the financial results of Sensus Healthcare.  Non-GAAP financial measures are not formally defined by GAAP, and other entities may use calculation methods that differ from those used by Sensus Healthcare. As a complement to GAAP financial measures, management believes that Adjusted EBITDA assists investors who follow the practice of some investment analysts who adjust GAAP financial measures to exclude items that may obscure underlying performance and distort comparability.  A reconciliation of the GAAP net loss to Adjusted EBITDA is provided in the schedule below.
