NEVE ILAN, Israel, Nov. 28, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- NANO-X IMAGING LTD (NASDAQ: NNOX) (“Nanox” or the “Company”), an innovative medical imaging technology company, today announced results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2023 and provided a business update.

Third Quarter 2023 Highlights and Recent Developments:

“The Nanox team made tremendous progress toward commercialization of the groundbreaking Nanox.ARC technology in the third quarter, capped off by the first US system deployment in a commercial imaging center in New Jersey. The Nanox.ARC system at this site will be used for patient imaging as well as serve as our demonstration center for the Nanox.ARC and marks the beginning of Nanox' commercial expansion into the U.S. market,” said Erez Meltzer, Chief Executive Officer of Nanox. “Alongside this initial system deployment, we have partnered with 626, an established Florida-based firm that will provide the necessary installation and support services for future Nanox.ARC users. Outside of the U.S., we continued to advance the deployment of the Nanox.ARC system globally. These efforts include multiple initiatives such as receiving regulatory clearance in Israel, formally kicking off the process of submitting our technical file for obtaining a CE mark with the Notified Body and receiving regulatory clearance for the Nanox.ARC system that was placed in Ghana earlier this year. It is truly an exciting time for Nanox.”

Financial results for three months ended September 30, 2023

For the three months ended September 30, 2023 (the “reported period”), the Company reported a net loss of $21.4 million, compared to a net loss of $19.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 (which is referred as the “comparable period”), representing an increase of $2.3 million. The increase was largely due to a goodwill impairment of $7.4 million and an increase of $0.4 million in sales and marketing expenses, which was offset by a decrease in the general and administration expenses in the amount of $5.6 million.

The Company reported revenue of $2.5 million in the reported period, compared to $2.4 million in the comparable period. During the reported period, the Company started to generate revenue through the sales and deployment of its imaging systems while continuing to generate revenues through the sales of teleradiology services and AI solutions.

The Company’s gross loss during the reported period totaled $1.7 million (gross loss margin of (67%)) on a GAAP basis, as compared to a gross loss of $1.5 million (gross loss margin of (60%)) in the comparable period. Non-GAAP gross profit for the reported period was $0.9 million (gross profit margin of approximately 37%), as compared to $1.1 million (gross profit margin of approximately 46%) in the comparable period.

The Company’s revenue from teleradiology services for the reported period was $2.2 million, as compared to revenue of $2.4 million in the comparable period. The decrease in the Company’s revenue from teleradiology services was mainly attributable to customer attrition.

The Company’s GAAP gross profit from teleradiology services for the reported period was $0.2 million (gross profit margin of approximately 11%), as compared to $0.6 million (gross profit margin of approximately 26%) in the comparable period. Non-GAAP gross profit of the Company’s teleradiology services for the reported period was $0.8 million (gross profit margin of approximately 36%) as compared to $1.2 million (gross profit margin of approximately 49%) in the comparable period. The decreases in the gross profit margins on a GAAP and non-GAAP basis were attributable mainly to an increase in the cost of the engaged radiologists due to increases in reading rates and incentive payments which the Company paid to radiologists to engage during overnight and weekend shifts.

As mentioned above, during the reported period the Company started to generate revenue through the sales and deployment of its imaging systems which amounted to $99 thousand for the reported period, with a gross profit of $36 thousand (gross profit margin of approximately 37%) on a GAAP and Non-GAAP basis. The revenue stems from the sale and deployment of our 2D systems in Africa.

The Company’s revenue from its AI solutions for the reported period was $141 thousand with a gross loss of $1.9 million on a GAAP basis, as compared to revenue of $87 thousand with a gross loss of $2.1 million in the comparable period. Non-GAAP gross profit of the Company’s AI solutions for the reported period was $75 thousand, as compared to a loss of $41 thousand on a non-GAAP basis in the comparable period. During the third quarter of 2023, Nanox AI continued to complete pilot programs with marketplaces, marketplace costumers and health organizations in anticipation of full deployment of its products.

Research and development expenses for the reported period were $6.0 million, as compared to $6.1 million in the comparable period. The decrease of $0.1 million was mainly due to a decrease in cost of labor of $0.6 million, which was offset by an increase in the Company’s development expenses of the Nanox.ARC system in the amount of $0.5 million.

Sales and marketing expenses for the reported period were $1.1 million, as compared to $0.7 million in the comparable period. The increase was mainly due to an increase in the Company’s marketing expenses in preparation of its entrance into the U.S. market.

General and administrative expenses for the reported period were $5.0 million, as compared to $10.6 million in the comparable period. The decrease of $5.6 million was mainly due to a decrease in legal expenses in the amount of $2.9 million, largely as a result of the finalization of the SEC investigation and reaching a settlement of the class action litigation, a decrease in share-based compensation in the amount of $2.7 million and a decrease in the cost of the directors’ and officers’ liability insurance premium in the amount of $0.3 million.

Goodwill impairment for the reporting period was $7.4 million, which was resulted from the goodwill impairment related to the teleradiology and Nanox.AI reporting units. The impairment was largely due to the increased discount rate and management estimates that it would take longer than we originally expected to generate revenues, gross profit, and positive operating cash flows in the AI and Teleradiology business segments.

As previously disclosed, the Company and Ran Poliakine, Chairman of the board of directors of the Company, reached final agreements with the SEC staff to settle the SEC investigation. The agreements were approved by the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York in October 2023. The Company agreed to pay a civil penalty in the amount of $0.7 million, which was paid during October 2023.

Non-GAAP net loss attributable to ordinary shares for the reported period was $9.4 million, as compared to $8.1 million in the comparable period. The increase of $1.3 million was mainly due to the decrease in the non-GAAP gross profit of $0.2 million and increase of $1.1 million in our operating expenses. Non-GAAP gross profit for the reported period was $0.9 million, as compared to $1.1 million in the comparable period. Non-GAAP research and development expenses for the reported period were $4.9 million, as compared to $5.0 million in the comparable period. Non-GAAP sales and marketing expenses for the reported period were $0.9 million, as compared to $0.4 million in the comparable period. Non-GAAP general and administrative expenses for the reported period and the comparable period were $4.5 million.

The difference between the GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures above is mainly attributable to amortization of intangible assets, goodwill impairment, share-based compensation, change in contingent earnout liability, legal fees in connection with the class-action litigation and the SEC investigation, accrual in connection with the settlement of the SEC investigation. A reconciliation between GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2023, and 2022 is provided in the financial results that are part of this press release.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of September 30, 2023, the Company had total cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and marketable securities of $95.6 million, compared to $102.9 million as of December 31, 2022.

The decrease in the Company’s cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and marketable securities of $7.3 million during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2023, was primarily due to negative cash flow from operations of $32.3 million and the purchase of property and equipment of $2.8 million, which was offset by cash flow from financing of $27.2 million largely from the capital raise that the Company consummated during the third quarter of 2023, as discussed below.

On July 26, 2023, the Company raised $30 million in a registered direct offering by selling 2,142,858 of the Company’s ordinary shares, together with warrants to purchase up to 2,142,858 ordinary shares at a combined purchase price of $14.00 per share. The net proceeds of the offering were approximately $27 million, excluding any proceeds that may be received upon the exercise of the warrants, after deducting placement agent fees and other offering expenses payable by the Company. The warrants have an exercise price of $19.00 per share, are exercisable immediately upon issuance and will expire five years from issuance. The warrants are exercisable for cash only so long as the Company has an effective registration statement covering the issuance of shares upon the exercise of the warrants. The Company accounted for the issued warrants as an equity in accordance with ASC 480-10, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity.

Other Assets

As of September 30, 2023, the Company had property and equipment of $45.1 million as compared to $43.5 million as of December 31, 2022. The increase was mainly attributed to the purchase of equipment and parts for the assembly of Nanox.ARC (including the Nanox.CLOUD) units.

As of September 30, 2023, the Company had intangible assets and goodwill of $83.3 million as compared to $98.6 million as of December 31, 2022. The decrease was attributable to the periodic amortization of intangible assets in the amount of $7.9 million and goodwill impairment of $7.4 million.

Shareholders’ Equity

As of September 30, 2023, the Company had approximately 57.7 million shares outstanding as compared to 55.1 million shares outstanding as of December 31, 2022. The increase was mainly due to the issuance of 2,142,858 of the Company’s ordinary shares in consideration of gross proceeds of $30 million, the issuance of 224,938 shares upon the exercise of options, which generated, in the aggregate, approximately $0.9 million in gross proceeds to the Company and the issuance of 255,392 ordinary shares to the former stockholders of USARAD, in consideration for the achievement of certain milestones in connection with the first earn-out period, as defined in the USARAD Stock Purchase Agreement and a global settlement of both parties’ performance obligations under the USARAD Stock Purchase Agreement.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release includes information about certain financial measures that are not prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), including non-GAAP net loss attributable to ordinary shares, non-GAAP cost of revenue, non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross profit margin, non-GAAP research and development expenses, non-GAAP sales and marketing expenses, non-GAAP general and administrative expenses, non-GAAP other expenses and non-GAAP basic and diluted loss per share. These non-GAAP measures are not based on any standardized methodology prescribed by GAAP and are not necessarily comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. These non-GAAP measures are adjusted for (as applicable) amortization of intangible assets, goodwill impairment, share-based compensation expenses, change in contingent earnout liability, legal fees in connection with class-action litigation and the SEC investigation, accrual in connection with the settlement of the SEC investigation. The Company’s management and board of directors utilize these non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate the Company’s performance. The Company provides these non-GAAP measures of the Company’s performance to investors because management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures, when viewed with the Company’s results under GAAP and the accompanying reconciliations, are useful in identifying underlying trends in ongoing operations. However, these non-GAAP measures are not measures of financial performance under GAAP and, accordingly, should not be considered as alternatives to GAAP measures as indicators of operating performance. Further, these non-GAAP measures should not be considered measures of the Company’s liquidity. A reconciliation of certain GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures has been provided in the tables included in this press release.

The Company believes that separate analysis and exclusion of the one-off or non-cash impact of the above reconciling items (as applicable) adds clarity to the constituent parts of its performance. The Company reviews these non-GAAP financial measures together with GAAP financial measures to obtain a better understanding of its operating performance. It uses the non-GAAP financial measures for planning, forecasting, and measuring results against the forecast. The Company believes that the non-GAAP financial measures are useful supplemental information for investors and analysts to assess its operating performance. However, these non-GAAP measures are not measures of financial performance under GAAP and, accordingly, should not be considered as alternatives to GAAP measures as indicators of operating performance.
