LYON, France, December 30, 2020 -- EDAP TMS SA (Nasdaq: EDAP) (“the Company”), the global leader in robotic energy- based therapies, announced today two new Focal One sales to leading U.S. healthcare institutions. The company announced a bundled sale of Focal One and Exact Vu to the University of California, San Francisco Medical Center (UCSF) and a Focal One sale to Cleveland Clinic. Both sales were completed during the fourth quarter.  

Marc Oczachowski, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of EDAP, commented: “We are excited to welcome UCSF and Cleveland Clinic to our large and growing roster of renowned health institutions that have implemented our cutting-edge Focal One HIFU technology. These sales reflect the growing adoption of HIFU in prostate cancer management, and the growing interest in non-invasive and quality of life preservation technologies. We are also pleased to have completed these transactions in the context of a resurgence in COVID-19 cases. We strongly believe it is important for hospitals and healthcare systems to invest in ambulatory technologies that lead to minimal side effects, limit the risk of ICU care and keep patients safe. With these sales completed during the fourth quarter, we are poised to enter 2021 with renewed momentum.”      

EDAP will provide a further update on these sales and other corporate developments during its regularly scheduled Q4 2020 results conference call in March.
