Ekso Bionics Reports Second Quarter 2014 Financial Results
RICHMOND, Calif., Aug. 7, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Ekso Bionics Holdings, Inc. (OTCQB:EKSO), a robotic exoskeleton company, today reported financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2014, as well as recent highlights.
"Ekso Bionics continued to make progress in the second quarter of 2014 on many fronts," stated Nathan Harding, Chief Executive Officer and Co-founder. "For me, the most telling signs are that we grew Ekso device sales with 25% growth quarter over quarter; that more centers are purchasing their second or third units and that rehabilitation clinics' device use has increased significantly. We are now close to recording 11,000,000 steps taken in our Ekso devices, something we did not expect to see until next year. This momentum, in turn, is leading us to exciting, new opportunities to leverage our exoskeleton technology, both for able-bodied and rehabilitation uses; something no other exoskeleton company has come close to doing."
SECOND QUARTER AND RECENT HIGHLIGHTS
- We shipped 15 Ekso GT's in Q2 2014, a 25% increase as compared Q1 2014 and 150% increase over Q2 2013. This brings the total of Ekso units sold or rented to 79 units at over 65 centers in 17 countries.
- For the first time in the Company's history, revenue from our medical device business represented over 50% of our quarterly revenue.
- We increased medical revenues by 31% over Q1 2014 and by 77% over Q2 2013. This increase for Q2 2014 over the same period 2013 includes software revenue associated with our Variable Assist.
- We crossed our 10,000,000 step milestone that we set as a target for 2014. Today our devices have recorded over 10,700,000 steps taken since the sales of our first unit in February 2012.
- We delivered an Ekso GT to, and trained the staff at, SPC Nottwil in Switzerland. This means we are not only in the top three rehabilitation centers in the United States as ranked by US News & World Report, but can now call what we believe to be the top three centers in Europe our customers as well.
- Our customers presented three additional studies in this last quarter, adding to a strong and growing body of evidence showing that they are able to use robotic exoskeletons to engage the principles of neuroplasticity for improved patient outcomes.
SECOND QUARTER 2014 FINANCIAL RESULTS
Revenue and Cost of Revenue
Total revenue was $1.2 million for the period ended June 30, 2014 compared to $1.0 million during the same period of 2013. Medical device revenue was $0.7 million for the period ended June 30, 2014 compared to $0.4 million during the same period of 2013. The increase of $0.3 million in medical device revenue was due to an increase in recognized revenue as the number of medical device sales being amortized to revenue nearly doubled compared to the same period in the prior year. Engineering services revenue was $0.5 million for the period ended June 30, 2014 compared to $0.6 million during the same period of 2013. The decrease of approximately $0.1 million in engineering services revenue was primarily due to decreased revenue resulting from the completion of projects with government agencies, partially offset by higher revenue from a federal agency contract.
Medical device cost of revenue increased to $0.5 million from $0.3 million due to an increase in recognized cost of revenue related to the increase in medical device sales being amortized to revenue as noted above. Engineering services cost of revenue increased to $0.7 million from $0.4 million due to an increase in costs related to the current federal agency contract partially offset by lower costs related to the completion of projects with other government agencies noted above.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses for the quarter were $4.4 million compared to $3.0 million during the same period of 2013, an increase of 45%. This increase was largely driven by approximately $0.5 million higher employee-related expenses primarily related to stock-based compensation and commissions. In addition, operating expenses increased by approximately $0.5 million to due higher professional services fees primarily related to public company requirements and investor relations expenses.
Non-Operating Income (Expense)
Non-operating income increased by $61.1 million in the second quarter of 2014 as compared to non-operating expense of $0.7 million in the same period of 2013, primarily due to a $60.5 million non-cash gain related to the issuance of warrants in the private placement financing. The warrants issued in the first quarter of 2014 are classified as liabilities and are adjusted to fair value on a quarterly basis with the change in fair value being included in net income. The amount included in net income is a non-cash item as the Company is not required to expend any cash to settle the warrant liability. The warrant liability is primarily affected by changes in the Company's stock price during each financial reporting period, which causes the warrant liability to fluctuate as the market price of the Company's stock fluctuates.
Net Income (Loss) and Earnings (Loss) per Share
Basic net income (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the period.
Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2014 was $56.1 million, or $0.72 per basic share, including the $60.5 million change in the warrant liability and $0.3 million in stock-based compensation compared to net losses of $3.4 million, or ($0.16) per basic and diluted share, including $0.1 million in stock-based compensation, for the same period of 2013.
Diluted net loss per share is calculated by adjusting the numerator and denominator of the basic net loss per share calculation for the effects of all potentially dilutive common shares. Potential dilutive shares of the Company's common stock include stock options and warrants. The calculation of diluted loss per share requires that, to the extent the average market price of the underlying shares for the reporting period exceeds the exercise price of the warrants and the presumed exercise of such securities are dilutive to loss per share for the period, adjustments to net loss used in the calculation are required to remove the change in fair value of the warrants for the period. Likewise, adjustments to the denominator are required to reflect the related dilutive shares.
Diluted net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2014 included net income of $56.1 million minus the $60.5 million change in the fair value of warrants, for a net loss of $4.3 million, or ($0.05) per diluted share.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company ended the second quarter with cash and cash equivalents of $11.0 million. The cash used in operating activities was $8.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to $5.6 million for the same period in 2013. Net cash provided by financing activities was $19.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to $4.1 million for the same period in 2013. The Company believes that its cash resources as of June 30, 2014, are sufficient to implement its current business plan, support operations, fund research and development and meet current obligations through the middle of 2015.
