Management Commentary

"The Sensus team did a wonderful job during the quarter growing our revenues and expanding awareness for the advantages of SRT in treating non-melanoma skin cancer and prevention of keloids," said Joe Sardano, chairman and chief executive officer of Sensus Healthcare.  "This was our eighth consecutive quarter of double-digit year-over-year revenue increases.  We shipped 15 systems during the quarter, and more than half of them were SRT-100 Vision systems, with its premium price point and additional features. Our installed base has grown to 311, of which 70 are being used to prevent keloid scar recurrence in addition to treating skin cancer.

"Our expanded presence at important medical conferences and trade shows has broadened awareness of SRT and Sensus and recent research has garnered additional support. We are very pleased with the reception to poster presentations at both the ASDS Annual Meeting and the Fall Clinical Dermatology Conference, which illustrated the low recurrence rate of keloids post-keloidectomy in conjunction with SRT.  Our sales clearly reflect the success of these efforts.

"Last week, in conjunction with our partner Chindex Medical and following regulatory approval, we launched the SRT-100 in China for the treatment and prevention of keloids, which is in addition to our previous Chinese launch for non-melanoma skin cancer.  The formal launch, which included a number of symposia and demonstrations with key opinion leaders and physicians already using our system for keloids, occurred at the DASIL conference in Shanghai. We have renewed our distribution agreement with Chindex for three years and look forward to working with our partner to expand our market share in China in the coming months."

Mr. Sardano concluded, "As has been the case throughout the year, our financial results reflect an increase in research and development expenses to accelerate the introduction of new indications and new products during 2018.  We expect R&D to continue to be higher in the fourth quarter and into early 2018, as we continue our development work in intraoperative radiation therapy for breast and other cancers."

Financial Results for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2017

Revenues for the third quarter of 2017 increased 44% to $4.8 million, compared with $3.3 million for the third quarter of 2016.  The increase is attributable to an increase in units sold, in particular the SRT-100 Vision, which has a higher average selling price.

Selling and marketing expense for the third quarter of 2017 was $1.8 million, compared with $1.1 million for the third quarter of 2016. The increase was primarily attributable to higher sales headcount, increased participation in tradeshows and other marketing activities.

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's 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.
