LYON, France, March 30, 2023 -- EDAP TMS SA (Nasdaq: EDAP) (the “Company”), a global leader in robotic energy-based therapies, announced today unaudited financial results for the fourth quarter and full-year 2022 and announced a change in its leadership, effective May 1, 2023.

In line with EDAP’s Global Group Strategy, and its focus on expansion in the United States and rest of world markets, the Board of Directors has decided to embark on a new era of leadership for the Company. The Board has therefore unanimously appointed Ryan Rhodes Chief Executive Officer of EDAP TMS effective May 1, 2023 to lead, strengthen and accelerate the Company’s development. Marc Oczachowski will continue to serve as Chairman of the Board of the Company.

Mr. Rhodes has over 30 years of leadership experience in market development in the medical device industry, including 20 years dedicated to medical robotics. Prior to joining EDAP, he served as Chief Executive Officer of Restoration Robotics, where he led the company to a successful merger with Venus Concept Inc. in 2019. He also held leadership positions at Intuitive Surgical, and Ethicon Inc., a Johnson & Johnson Company.

Marc Oczachowski, EDAP's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said: “In 2022, EDAP delivered another strong year of financial and operational performance, achieving record revenue and more than doubling worldwide Focal One sales compared to 2021. With EDAP experiencing strong positive HIFU momentum, particularly in the U.S., we have now reached a key inflection point to make this transition and to further accelerate our global expansion. I have enjoyed working with Ryan for almost two years. His leadership and knowledge of the industry, combined with his acute understanding of global commercial market development, are excellent assets for EDAP. I have complete confidence in Ryan’s ability to continue to accelerate the growth and development of the Company in support of its ongoing strategic objectives.”

Ryan Rhodes, Chief Executive Officer of EDAP US, stated, “During the fourth quarter, we achieved a record of nine Focal One transactions in the U.S., reflecting the growing appreciation for the clinical value of Focal One by both large academic healthcare institutions as well as local community hospitals. 2022 was a critical year in the adoption of Focal One robotic HIFU and the growth of this therapeutic option as part of the comprehensive management of prostate cancer. The number of U.S. sites selecting Focal One doubled over the previous year, and we saw positive momentum in the advancement of U.S. society guidelines with focal ablation. Our team and capacity have grown to be well positioned to drive even greater clinical and market expansion in 2023.”

Ryan Rhodes added: "I am very pleased to be appointed Chief Executive Officer of the EDAP TMS group, and I am grateful to both Marc and the EDAP Board for their continued confidence in my abilities. I am excited to lead EDAP’s global strategy to a new era of growth as we continue to build and expand our winning organization across the U.S. and international markets.”
