NeuroMetrix Reports Q1 2016 Financial Results and Highlights

  • Year-over-Year Revenue Up 77% to $2.3 Million
  • 8,138 Quell® Devices Shipped
  • Quell Retail Launch Initiated with First Shipment to Target stores

WALTHAM, Mass.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–$NURO #NeuroMetrix–NeuroMetrix, Inc. (Nasdaq: NURO), today reported financial and business
highlights for the quarter ended March 31, 2016.

The Company operates in two markets – wearable therapeutic technology
and point-of-care diagnostic tests. Quell is an over-the-counter
wearable therapeutic device for chronic pain that was launched during
the second quarter of 2015. DPNCheck® provides accurate and
cost-effective screening, diagnosis and monitoring of peripheral
neuropathies including diabetic peripheral neuropathy.

Recent Highlights:

  • Quell shipments totaled 8,138 devices and 7,902 electrode reorder
    packages with a total invoiced value of $1.70 million. This was an
    increase from 6,675 devices and 6,760 electrode reorder packages with
    a total invoiced value of $1.48 million in Q4 2015.
  • Quell retail launch began with shipments to Target in late March.
    Quell will be available in late April in over 500 Target stores as a
    part of their Smart Health Solutions program featuring smartphone
    enabled health products.
  • A new version of Quell began shipping during Q1. This device provides
    the option of therapy control directly from a smartphone app, extended
    battery life and advanced sleep tracking. Its release follows 510(k)
    clearance by the FDA in January. Current Quell users have access to an
    upgrade program.
  • Quell was named “Best Wearable Technology” at the SXSW Interactive
    Innovation Awards in March.

Business Outlook:

NeuroMetrix’ primary initiative for 2016 is to make Quell available at
leading retailers. This effort started with the March announcement that
Quell will be part of a digital health initiative at Target. The Company
expects the retail expansion to continue during Q2 as discussions with
other retailers mature into distribution arrangements. Promotion will
support the retail launch. Television advertising was developed and
tested during Q1 and will be part of an expanded media campaign. The
Company believes that broad retail availability of Quell in locations
where consumers shop for chronic pain solutions will positively impact
Quell sales during 2016.

“We are on schedule with our plans for retail distribution,” said Shai
N. Gozani, M.D., Ph.D., President and Chief Executive Officer of
NeuroMetrix. “In addition to developing television content, during Q1 we
implemented EDI capability, retail packaging, and built Quell inventory
in preparation for retail shipments. In the upcoming months, I expect
that we will be reporting new retail distribution agreements.”

Financial Results:

The Company reported its financial results for Q1 2016. Total revenues
were $2.28 million versus $1.28 million for Q1 2015, an increase of 77%.
Gross margin was 34.8% of total revenues, reduced from 50.3% in Q1 2015,
reflecting a higher weighting of lower margin Quell devices as the
Company builds its installed base. Operating expenses increased to $4.99
million compared to $3.90 million in Q1 2015, reflecting Quell marketing
and promotion. The Company recorded a non-cash credit of $0.09 million
at March 31, 2016 for the revaluation at fair value of outstanding
common stock warrants compared to a $1.19 million revaluation credit at
March 31, 2015. Net loss was $4.10 million. This compared to a net loss
of $2.07 million for Q1 2015. NeuroMetrix reported Q1 2016 net cash
usage of $3.72 million and ended the period with cash and cash
equivalents of $8.74 million.
