Business Update Highlights

“During this past quarter and recent weeks, the PAVmed team continued its relentless focus on executing our long-term strategy and vision to build a high growth diversified medical technology company in devices, diagnostics and digital health,” said Lishan Aklog, M.D., PAVmed’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “The Lucid team is delivering steady test volume growth and has begun to receive commercial payments for its services. The Veris team has wrapped up software development work and built the necessary infrastructure for Veris’ first commercial launch by the end of this year. And, finally, the technology team is steadily advancing our portfolio of pre-commercial products toward important development and regulatory milestones. The teams are delivering these results on schedule and under budget, as we seek to create value while keeping a close eye on cash preservation to protect the long-term position of the company.”

Highlights from the third quarter and recent weeks include:

  • LucidDx Labs Inc. performed 1,088 commercial EsoGuard® Esophageal DNA Tests in the third quarter of 2022, which represents a 28% increase sequentially from the second quarter of 2022 and a 436% annual increase from the third quarter of 2021. During the quarter it began submitting held claims for tests performed since its February launch and began receiving some payments for claims during the quarter.
  • Lucid expanded its sales team to 37 professionals, with a near-term target of 58 sales professionals early in the new year. It expanded its network of Lucid Test Centers to 13 centers in 11 states, with a near-term target of 16 centers by the end of the year.
  • Lucid commenced production of its EsoCheck® Esophageal Cell Collection Devices (“EsoCheck”) at a high-volume manufacturer, which will decrease per-unit manufacturing costs by 60% and provide scalable manufacturing capacity.
  • Veris completed software development work and is on target to commercially launch the Veris Cancer Care Platform with Bluetooth connected health devices by the end of this year. Sales infrastructure, including full software demos, along with customer integration infrastructure are in place.
  • Portfolio of pre-commercial products — Veris Mercury implantable smart port, CarpX® Ultrasound and EsoCure® Esophageal Ablation Device — all progressing well through product development towards design freeze, testing and regulatory submission.
  • PAVmed continues research development work on NextFlo® Intravenous Infusion set and PortIO® Implantable Intraosseous Vascular Access Device.

Financial Results

  • For the three months ended September 30, 2022, EsoGuard related revenues were $0.1 million. Operating expenses were approximately $23.4 million, which include stock-based compensation expenses of $4.8 million. GAAP net loss attributable to common stockholders was approximately $26.2 million, or $(0.29) per common share.
  • As shown below and for the purpose of illustrating the effect of stock-based compensation and other non-cash income and expenses on the Company’s financial results, the Company’s preliminary non-GAAP adjusted loss for the three months ended September 30, 2022, was approximately $13.8 million or $(0.15) per common share.
  • PAVmed had cash and cash equivalents of $56.8 million as of September 30, 2022, compared to $77.3 million as of December 31, 2021.
  • Under an existing Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company issued an additional Senior Secured Convertible Note dated September 8, 2022, with such note having a $11.25 million face value principal. The September 2022 Senior Convertible Note proceeds were $10.2 million.
  • The unaudited financial results for the three months ended September 30, 2022 were filed with the SEC on Form 10-Q on November 14, 2022, and are available at www.pavmed.com or www.sec.gov.

PAVmed Non-GAAP Measures

To supplement our unaudited financial results presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), management provides certain non-GAAP financial measures of the Company’s financial results. These non-GAAP financial measures include net loss before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) and non-GAAP adjusted loss, which further adjusts EBITDA for stock-based compensation expense, loss on the issuance or modification of convertible securities, the periodic change in fair value of convertible securities, and loss on debt extinguishment. The foregoing non-GAAP financial measures of EBITDA and non-GAAP adjusted loss are not recognized terms under U.S. GAAP.

Non-GAAP financial measures are presented with the intent of providing greater transparency to the information used by us in our financial performance analysis and operational decision-making. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful information to assist investors, shareholders, and other readers of our unaudited financial statements in making comparisons to our historical financial results and analyzing the underlying performance of our results of operations. These non-GAAP financial measures are not intended to be, and should not be, a substitute for, considered superior to, considered separately from, or as an alternative to, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

Non-GAAP financial measures are provided to enhance readers’ overall understanding of our current financial results and to provide further information for comparative purposes. Management believes the non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to management and investors by isolating certain expenses, gains, and losses that may not be indicative of our core operating results and business outlook. Specifically, the non-GAAP financial measures include non-GAAP adjusted loss, and its presentation is intended to help the reader understand the effect of the loss on the issuance or modification of convertible securities, the periodic change in fair value of convertible securities, the loss on debt extinguishment and the corresponding accounting for non-cash charges on financial performance. In addition, management believes non-GAAP financial measures enhance the comparability of results against prior periods.

A reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP measure of all non-GAAP financial measures included in this press release for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2022, and 2021 is as follows:
