LYON, France, Sept. 1, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- EDAP TMS SA (Nasdaq:EDAP), the global leader in therapeutic ultrasound, announced today financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2009.
For the second quarter 2009, the Company reported total revenue of EUR 6.8 million (USD 9.4 million), a 37.0% increase from EUR 5.0 million (USD 7.8 million) for the same period in 2008. The increase was primarily driven by strong sales across both the HIFU and Lithotripsy divisions.
Total revenue for the HIFU division increased to EUR 2.2 million (USD 3.0 million) in the second quarter 2009, up 34.2% from EUR 1.6 million (USD 2.6 million) for the same period last year. The increase reflected the sale of one Ablatherm-HIFU machine and a 20.4% increase in revenue per procedure (RPP) sales compared to the year ago period during which no HIFU devices were sold.
Total revenue for the lithotripsy division increased to EUR 4.6 million (USD 6.4 million) in the second quarter 2009, up 38.4% from EUR 3.3 million (USD 5.2 million) for the same period last year. The increase was primarily attributable to higher machine sales and a more favorable product mix. During the second quarter 2009, 11 lithotripsy machines, including five high-range Sonolith I-Sys systems, were sold compared to 10 machines, including two Sonolith I-Sys devices, sold during the year ago period. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, lithotripsy revenue was EUR 8.0 million (USD 10.6 million), an increase of 42.2% from EUR 5.6 million (USD 8.6 million) during the year ago period. The increase was driven by higher machine sales, with 18 lithotripsy machines, including eight Sonolith I-Sys devices, sold during the first six months of 2009 compared to 15 machines, including two Sonolith I-Sys devices, sold during the first six months of 2008.
Gross profit increased to EUR 3.2 million (USD 4.4 million) in the second quarter 2009, up 69.4% compared to EUR 1.9 million (USD 2.9 million) for the second quarter 2008. Gross profit margin increased to 46.8% in the second quarter 2009, up from 37.9% in the second quarter 2008 due to higher HIFU and lithotripsy machine sales volume.
Operating expenses were EUR 3.7 million (USD 5.1 million) in the second quarter 2009, compared to EUR 3.3 million (USD 5.1 million) for the same period of 2008. Second quarter 2009 operating expenses included EUR 0.5 million related to the U.S. FDA ENLIGHT clinical trial for Ablatherm-HIFU.
Operating loss decreased to EUR 0.5 million (USD 0.7 million) for the second quarter 2009, compared to EUR 1.4 million (USD 2.2 million) for the year ago period. Excluding U.S. clinical trial expenses, the Company was break even in the second quarter 2009. The year-over-year decrease in operating loss reflected both higher HIFU and lithotripsy machine sales and higher HIFU-RPP sales in the second quarter of 2009 versus the year ago period.
The net loss for the second quarter 2009 was EUR 0.5 million (USD 0.7 million), or EUR 0.05 per diluted share, compared to net income of EUR 0.9 million (USD 1.5 million), or EUR 0.10 per diluted share in the year ago period. The second quarter 2009 net loss included a non-cash financial gain of EUR 0.7 million (USD 0.9 million) to reflect the adjustment of the Company's convertible debt and outstanding warrants to fair value, compared to a EUR 3.0 million (USD 4.6 million) non-cash gain during the prior year period.
Cash and cash equivalents, including short-term treasury investments, were EUR 13.6 million (USD 19.1 million) at June 30, 2009.
Marc Oczachowski, EDAP's Chief Executive Officer, commented, "We are very pleased to report robust revenue for the second quarter of 2009, driven by strong sales growth in both HIFU and lithotripsy machine sales. With the continued penetration of our next generation Sonolith I-sys device which recently received U.S. FDA approval, our lithotripsy division performed very well. We are also encouraged by the progress of our HIFU business and the RPP sales momentum and growth in existing European markets and the increased adoption in new geographical territories."
Mr. Oczachowski continued, "Since the recently implemented changes to the ENLIGHT clinical trial protocol, we have experienced an increase in patient flow and screening. In order to further support the execution of these positive enhancements to the protocol, we have strengthened our U.S. team dedicated to implementing these trials."
Mr. Oczachowski concluded, "During the quarter we also expanded our board of directors with two new U.S. based members, namely Dr. Argil Wheelock and Rob Michiels. We believe both of these highly knowledgeable individuals will be invaluable in contributing to the continuing growth in our HIFU European business and progressing toward FDA approval of the Ablatherm system in the U.S."

About EDAP TMS SA
EDAP TMS SA develops and markets Ablatherm, the most advanced and clinically proven choice for high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) treatment of localized prostate cancer. HIFU treatment is shown to be a minimally invasive and effective treatment option with a low occurrence of side effects. Ablatherm-HIFU is generally recommended for patients with localized prostate cancer (stages T1-T2) who are not candidates for surgery or who prefer an alternative option, or for patients who failed radiotherapy treatment. Approved in Europe as a treatment for prostate cancer, Ablatherm-HIFU (High Intensity Focused Ultrasound) is currently undergoing evaluation in a multicenter U.S. Phase II/III clinical trial under an Investigational Device Exemption granted by the FDA. The Company also is developing this technology for the potential treatment of certain other types of tumors. EDAP TMS SA also produces and commercializes medical equipment for treatment of urinary tract stones using extra-corporeal shockwave lithotripsy (ESWL).
