LYON, France, Aug. 30, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- EDAP TMS SA (Nasdaq:EDAP), the global leader in therapeutic ultrasound, announced today financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2012.

Marc Oczachowski, EDAP's Chief Executive Officer, commented, "Market acceptance of our renewed lithotripsy device platform continues to grow and contributed to our strong second quarter results. Our quarterly revenues rose 61% year-over-year reflecting the sale of fourteen lithotripsy devices. Our strengthened global sales team is continuing to transform sales leads into confirmed purchase orders as our replenished device backlog now stands at sixteen lithotripsy machines."

Mr. Oczachowski continued, "The two year anniversary of the last patient treated in the ENLIGHT trial was in June 2012 and the subsequent patient follow-up visits and data collection were completed in the second half of August in line with our IDE approved clinical protocol. The EDAP teams in the U.S. and France are compiling the PMA submission file, inclusive of both clinical and manufacturing data, for a projected filing in the fourth quarter of 2012.

Recent Developments

In August, EDAP retained Greenleaf Health LLC, a full service regulatory consulting firm, to provide high-level strategic guidance regarding the final stages of its Ablatherm-HIFU (High Intensity Focused Ultrasound) ENLIGHT U.S. Phase II/III clinical trial for the indication of low risk, localized prostate cancer. Greenleaf Health joins the established EDAP team of experts, both internal and external, inclusive of specialized legal, regulatory, and Clinical Research Organization advisors.

In August, EDAP confirmed the completion of all follow-up visits in connection with its Ablatherm-HIFU ENLIGHT U.S. clinical trial for the indication of low risk, localized prostate cancer. The Company is on track to file its Premarket Approval (PMA) with the U.S. FDA in the fourth quarter of 2012.

In June, EDAP's experts in HIFU technology presented their recent advances in the development of therapeutic focused ultrasound at the 12th International Symposium of Therapeutic Ultrasound (ISTU 2012) held in Germany. Top level technical presentations from the Company's partner INSERM, a French public research laboratory, addressed the successful evaluation of HIFU technology in targeting liver cancer. Other presentations related to HIFU as a therapy for prostate cancer, and included a poster that examined data from large cohorts of prostate cancer patients treated with the Ablatherm-HIFU over more than ten years, computed from a comprehensive clinical registry. The long-term results confirm EDAP as the most advanced player in the use of HIFU to address prostate cancer.

During the second quarter, the United Kingdom's National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE), an independent organization that advises the National Health Service (NHS) on treatment and care, published guidance regarding focal therapy using HIFU to treat localized prostate cancer. In its International Procedure Guidance 424 on focal HIFU, NICE highlighted the 'potential for focal HIFU to avoid many of the complications of more radical treatment procedures' for localized prostate cancer in properly selected patients.

During the second quarter, EDAP's Ablatherm-HIFU was successfully utilized by leading urology surgeons at the St-Augustin Urology Clinic in Bordeaux, France to eradicate prostate cancer tumors via a focal approach. This highly regarded urology practice is now positioning the focal therapy procedure using EDAP's device as a 'must have complement' to robotic surgery.

In May, EDAP showcased its Ablatherm-HIFU and its Sonolith i-move at the American Urological Association (AUA) 2012 Annual Meeting. Prostate cancer data generated using Ablatherm-HIFU was featured in two scientific sessions at AUA and in three poster presentations at the 27th Annual Meeting of the Engineering and Urology Society that was held concurrently with the AUA. EDAP experienced record attendance from U.S. urologists at its AUA booth.

Second Quarter 2012 Results

Total revenue for the second quarter 2012 was EUR 6.1 million (USD 7.8 million), up 61% as compared to EUR 3.8 million (USD 5.5 million) for the second quarter 2011.

Total revenue for the lithotripsy division was EUR 5.0 million (USD 6.4 million) for the three months ended June 30, 2012, up 112% as compared to EUR 2.4 million (USD 3.4 million) for the year ago period. During the second quarter 2012, the Company recorded sales of fourteen lithotripsy machines, comprised of six Sonolith i-move devices, four Sonolith i-sys devices and four Sonolith Praktis devices, compared to a total of three devices sold in the second quarter of 2011.

Total revenue for the HIFU division was EUR 1.1 million (USD 1.4 million) for the second quarter 2012, compared to EUR 1.4 million (USD 2.1 million) for the same period last year.

Gross profit margin was 39.1% in the second quarter 2012, compared to 40.2% in the year ago period. The change in the gross profit margin was attributed to the evolution in product mix.

At June 30, 2012, cash and cash equivalents, including short-term treasury investments, were EUR 8.1 million (USD 10.2 million) and reflected the payment in the second quarter 2012 of USD 2.0 million to the debt holders following the $5.625 million registered direct placement in March 2012.

About EDAP TMS SA

EDAP TMS SA develops and markets Ablatherm(R), 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 multi-center U.S. Phase II/III clinical trial under an Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) granted by the FDA, the ENLIGHT U.S. clinical study. 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 (the Sonolith(R) range) for treatment of urinary tract stones using extra-corporeal shockwave lithotripsy (ESWL).
