President and CEO Commentary:

"We had a strong end to a record setting 2022, marked by increased revenue and orders every single quarter," said Thomas Sandgaard, President and CEO. "Our operating cash flows allowed us to buy back over $26 million of our common stock during 2022 which benefits all shareholders. Additionally, Zynex Monitoring Solutions (ZMS) is making significant progress with clinical data collection, and we expect to hit several regulatory milestones in 2023. We look forward to maintaining shareholder value through continued financial health and double-digit growth going forward."

First Quarter and Full Year 2023 Guidance

Full year 2023 revenue is estimated to range between $180 - $200 million and with Diluted EPS of $0.40 - $0.50 per share. The revenue range is based on our best estimates of labor market conditions and sales rep productivity. Diluted EPS is impacted by increased operating expenses to support ZMS as the Laser-based Pulse Oximetry products are prepared for FDA submission and the fluid monitor is readied for the market.

First quarter 2023 revenue is estimated to range between $39.0 - $41.0 million, an increase of approximately 29% from Q1 2022. First quarter revenue is affected by the resetting of health insurance deductibles in the beginning of a calendar year, seasonably lower revenues in the first quarter are a historical trend for Zynex and an industry norm. First quarter Diluted EPS is estimated to range between $0.00- $0.03.

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, stock compensation, restructuring and non-cash lease charges).
