Highlights of the first quarter and recent weeks:
- Sales growth over prior year: The Company recorded a revenue increase of $58,872 or 28% over the first quarter of 2015. The increase is due to higher device sales and new applicators as well as higher refurbishments, especially with orthoPACE®.
- Series A Warrant Exchange: In January 2016, the Company entered into an agreement with certain beneficial owners of the outstanding Series A warrants to exchange those warrants for shares of the Company’s capital stock at a calculated exchange ratio of 1 Series A Warrant = 0.4685 shares of capital stock. Through this agreement, 23,701,428 Series A Warrants were exchanged for 7,447,954 shares of Common Stock and 293 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock.
- Equity Offering: The Company closed an equity offering with select accredited investors raising total gross proceeds of $1.8 million. Through the equity offering the Company issued 30 million shares of common stock on a fully converted basis at a price of $0.06 per share and issued to the investors warrants to purchase up to 30 million shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.08. At the closing of the offering the Company issued Newport Coast Securities, Inc., the placement agent for the offering, 3,001,667 warrants to purchase shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.08. The warrants are immediately exercisable and have an expiration date of March 17, 2019.
“We have had a very busy first quarter, achieving all of the milestones we established in our fourth quarter business update,” stated Kevin A. Richardson, II, Chairman of the board of SANUWAVE. “We achieved our revenue goals in both the fourth quarter of 2015 and the first quarter of 2016, executed the exchange offer to our Series A warrant holders and completed an equity offering.”
“As we look at the remainder of 2016 we will submit our data to the FDA for possible approval in the fourth quarter of 2016 or early in 2017, continue to search for a partner in a joint venture or partnership for commercialization of the product in 2016 and simultaneously plan for a launch of the product on our own. We are also working on a number of other non-medical initiatives, which we will keep shareholders abreast of as they occur,” concluded Mr. Richardson.
First Quarter Financial Results
Revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2016 were $269,324, compared to $210,452 for the same period in 2015, an increase of $58,872, or 28%. The increase in revenues for 2016 was due to higher sales of orthoPACE devices and applicators in Europe and Asia/Pacific.
Research and development expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2016 were $309,955, compared to $634,623 for the same period in 2015, a decrease of $324,668, or 51%. Research and development expenses decreased in 2016 as a result of lower payments to third party clinical sites participating in the dermaPACE® clinical study as the patient enrollment was completed in 2015 and lower consulting related costs as the data results were also completed in 2015, this is partially offset by consulting expenses related to the pre-submission package to the FDA was completed in early 2016.
General and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2016 were $499,132, as compared to $566,292 for the same period in 2015, a decrease of $67,160, or 12%. The decrease in general and administrative expenses is primarily due to reduced salary and related costs as a result of reduction in headcount in July 2015 and is partially offset by higher professional and legal fees related to equity offering in 2016.
Net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2016 was $1,724,576, or ($0.02) per share, compared to a net loss of $1,159,115, or ($0.02) per share, for the same period in 2015, an increase in the net loss of $565,461, or 49%. The increase in the net loss was primarily due to the loss on warrant valuation related to the warrant conversion to stock in January 2016 and higher interest rates due to the amendment to notes payable, related parties completed in June 2015 and issuance of promissory notes in 2016. These higher costs are partially offset by reduced operating expenses in 2016 discussed above.
