First Quarter 2019 Financial Results

Revenues for the first quarter of 2019 increased by 10.7% to $6.1 million, compared to $5.5 million in the same quarter in 2018. Revenue growth was mainly due to an increase in U.S. WatchPAT sales and offset due to sales seasonality in Japan. 

U.S. WatchPAT revenues for the first quarter of 2019 increased by 34.2% to $4.3 million, compared to $3.2 million in the same quarter in 2018. Sales from disposables and renewable products were approximately 65% of WatchPAT revenues in the U.S. in the first quarter of 2019, similar to the first quarter of 2018.

WatchPAT revenues for the first quarter of 2019 increased by 14.8% to $5.8 million, compared to $5.1 million in the same quarter in 2018.

Gross profit for the first quarter of 2019 increased to $4.7 million, compared to $4.2 million in the same quarter in 2018. Gross profit margin for both the first quarter of 2019 and 2018 was approximately 77% of total revenues.

Operating loss for the first quarter of 2019 was $1.3 million, compared to $0.9 million in the same period in 2018. The increase in operating loss was mainly due to an increase of $0.9 million in selling and marketing expenses as a result of an increase in employee-related costs, primarily related to the expansion of the of the U.S. sale team into new geographical territories, partially offset by the increase in revenues.

Non-IFRS operating loss for the first quarter of 2019 was $1.0 million, compared to $0.5 million in the same quarter in 2018. Non-IFRS operating loss excludes approximately $0.3 million in share-based payments; depreciation and amortization of property and equipment and intangible assets; and change in provision for doubtful and bad debt, compared to $0.4 million of similar expenses for the same quarter in 2018 (see “Use of Non-IFRS Measures” below).

Net loss for the first quarter of 2019 was $1.2 million, compared to net income of $0.1 million in the same quarter in 2018.

Non-IFRS net loss for the first quarter of 2019 was $1.2 million, compared to $0.9 million in the same quarter in 2018. Non-IFRS net loss excludes approximately $0.1 million in share-based payments; depreciation and amortization of property and equipment and intangible assets; change in provision for doubtful and bad debt; and gain from reevaluation of derivatives, compared to $1.0 million of similar expenses for the same quarter in 2018 (see “Use of Non-IFRS Measures” below).    

As of March 31, 2019, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $19.9 million. This amount includes the proceeds from the private placement completed in March 2019 of $14.0 million, net of share issuance costs.
