LYON, France, Aug. 26, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- EDAP TMS SA (Nasdaq:EDAP), the global leader in therapeutic ultrasound, today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2015 and provided an update on recent strategic developments.

Marc Oczachowski, EDAP's Chief Executive Officer, stated, "In the second quarter, we achieved solid year-over-year revenue growth in both our HIFU and Lithotripsy divisions, which led the Company to near breakeven on an operational basis. This is rewarding to see how close we are to breakeven, without being yet in the US with HIFU."

Mr. Oczachowski added, "As we announced previously, we received FDA comments ('Deficiency List') to our Direct De Novo 510(k) petition in July, and we are proud to say that, as we anticipated, we have provided all formal responses in a timely manner. We are excited about this further progress in the process with FDA and continue to closely work on the file with the Agency."

About EDAP TMS SA

EDAP TMS SA markets today Ablatherm® for high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) treatment of localized prostate cancer outside the U.S. 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. Ablatherm-HIFU is approved for commercial distribution in Europe and some other countries including Mexico and Canada. EDAP TMS is currently pursuing a Direct De Novo 510(K) petition in parallel to a PMA for Ablatherm clearance by the U.S. FDA. The Company also markets an innovative robot-assisted HIFU device, the Focal One®, dedicated to focal therapy of prostate cancer. Focal One® is CE marked but is not FDA approved. The Company also develops its HIFU technology for the potential treatment of certain other types of tumors. EDAP TMS SA also produces and distributes medical equipment (the Sonolith® lithotripters' range) for the treatment of urinary tract stones using extra-corporeal shockwave lithotripsy (ESWL) in most countries including Canada and the U.S. For more information on the Company, please visit http://www.edap-tms.com, and http://www.hifu-planet.com.
