BWAY - Brainsway Reports First Quarter 2019 Financial Results and Operational Highlights
JERUSALEM and HACKENSACK, N.J., May 29, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Brainsway Ltd. (NASDAQ & TASE: BWAY) (“Brainsway” or the “Company”), a commercial stage medical device company focused on the development and sale of non-invasive neuromodulation products using the Company’s proprietary Deep Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation system (Deep TMS) technology for the treatment of major depressive disorder (MDD) and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), today reported financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2019, and provided an operational update.
“We continue to demonstrate top-line growth driven by demand for our Deep TMS technology,” said Yaacov Michlin, President and Chief Executive Officer of Brainsway. “The leasing, direct sales and usage of our Deep TMS system continues to drive the growth of our business.”
In support of the Company’s growing business, it successfully completed its U.S. initial public offering (IPO) and listing on the Nasdaq Global Market (NASDAQ) in April 2019 under the symbol “BWAY”, raising $30.8 million in gross cash proceeds before deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and other offering expenses. “We are pleased to have reached this exciting milestone in the company’s development and anticipate that this will serve to further accelerate our growth as a leading company in our space,” said Dr. David Zacut, Chairman of Brainsway. Brainsway intends to utilize the net proceeds from the offering to further expand its sales force and marketing activities in order to drive increased market penetration of its Deep TMS system, and to proceed with its clinical and technological R&D activities, including in the areas of opioid addiction and multiple sclerosis.
Financial Results for the First Quarter Ended March 31, 2019
- Quarterly record revenue of $5.2 million, an increase of 44% over the first quarter of 2018.
- Lease revenues of $3.1 million (recurring), an increase of 47% over the first quarter of 2018.
- Installed base of 416 Deep TMS systems, a quarter-over-quarter increase of 33 systems.
- 27 Deep TMS OCD coils shipped, reaching a total of 85 OCD coils as an add-on helmet to Brainsway’s Deep TMS systems since marketing clearance was obtained in August 2018.
- Gross margin of 78%.
- Operating expenses totaled $5.6 million, compared to $4.3 million in the first quarter of 2018, an increase of 29%. The increase was primarily driven by an expansion of the sales force and enhanced marketing activities.
- Net loss of $1.9 million, compared to $1.0 million in the first quarter of 2018. The increase was primarily due to non-cash financial income that reduced the net loss in the first quarter of 2018, and an increase in operating loss, of $0.2 million.
- The basic and diluted net loss per ordinary share for the first quarter of 2019 was $0.11 per share.
- Cash used in operating activities was $0.9 million, compared to $0.6 million in the first quarter of 2018. Cash used in investing activities was $0.4 million, compared to $0.5 million in the first quarter of 2018.
Financial Position
- As of March 31, 2019, the Company had cash and short-term investments of approximately $7.7 million, compared to $9.1 million at December 31, 2018.
- Following the approximately $27 million of net proceeds derived from Brainsway’s IPO on the NASDAQ and its $3 million debt repayment, both completed post-March 31, 2019, the Company has a strong balance sheet with no debt.
Other Company Developments in First quarter of 2019
- Completion of 260 patient target recruitment for multicenter smoking cessation study. Final results expected in Q4 of 2019.
- Regulatory approval in Japan for MDD.
- Increased commercial activity in South East Asia with distribution and agent agreements signed in Thailand, South Korea, India, and Singapore.
