Management Commentary

"During the second quarter we continued to execute very well on our business plan, once again posting double-digit year-over-year revenue growth, expanding our distribution network and making further investments in research and development, including for Intraoperative Radiation Therapy (IORT) development as well as our laser business," said Joe Sardano, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Sensus Healthcare.  "The use of image-guided superficial radiation is receiving increased attention from key opinion leaders, and I am very pleased with our efforts to highlight the non-invasive and efficacious attributes of SRT systems, in particular the SRT-100 Vision, and note that we now have several multi-center dermatology practices among our customers." 

Mr. Sardano added, "In anticipation of growth from new products and new markets, during the second quarter we made some key leadership hires while reinforcing our focus on international growth. Dr. Isabelle Raymond joined Sensus as Vice President – Clinical Development to spearhead our new dermatology and aesthetic medicine products and to build and lead our clinical and scientific programs. We added Rita Gable as Vice President of Sales – Oncology to accelerate the sales of SRT to the Oncology market and to lead the introduction of IORT into the U.S. market, upon regulatory approval. We hope to receive clearance from the FDA by the end of the year.  We have been preparing the market by commencing discussions with key opinion leaders. These hires have freed Rick Golin, Executive Vice President of International Sales, to focus on the worldwide market for our products. We have already signed new distribution agreements for multiple markets in Europe, Asia and Latin America.  In addition, we joined with CellMark Medical to help with global distribution beyond our existing reach, and have already sold our first system under this agreement."

Mr. Sardano added, "We completed manufacturing of the first units of the recently FDA cleared SRT-100 Plus™, which expands the energy range and includes Grenz rays used in the treatment of psoriasis.  Our research studies in psoriasis are ongoing, and the results are expected to form the basis for marketing to physicians.

"We are very excited about the opportunities ahead of Sensus during the second half of 2018.  While we are managing our operating expenses carefully, our plans call for continued investment in research and development that we expect to drive growth in 2019 and beyond," Mr. Sardano concluded.

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.
