ENDRA Life Sciences Reports First Quarter 2022 Financial Results and Provides Business Update

Conference call begins at 4:30 p.m. Eastern time today

ENDRA Life Sciences Inc. (NASDAQ: NDRA), a pioneer of Thermo Acoustic Enhanced UltraSound (TAEUS®), today reported financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2022, and provided a business update. Highlights of the first quarter of 2022 and recent weeks include:

  • Raised $8.7 million in gross proceeds, extending cash runway. The company raised a total of $8.7 million in gross proceeds year-to-date from the sale of common stock through its at-the-market (ATM) equity facility, of which $7.8 million was raised subsequent to the close of the first quarter. With this bolstered cash position, management believes ENDRA is capitalized to fund operations through several important milestones, including ramping-up commercial activities in Europe and advancing the TAEUS system through the regulatory process in the U.S.
  • Reached clarity on the U.S. regulatory strategy for the TAEUS system and on track to submit De Novo request in the third quarter. After extensive and productive dialogue with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), ENDRA is pursuing the De Novo pathway for its TAEUS Liver System, which is intended to characterize fatty liver tissue as a non-invasive means to assess and monitor Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD). The De Novo pathway will build upon ENDRA's completed 510(k) application and provides ENDRA with the opportunity to set the bar for an entirely new product classification, which should yield important and sustainable commercial advantages for the novel TAEUS platform. Under the De Novo process, the company intends to provide smaller-scale TAEUS human study data, which will come from ENDRA's existing clinical study sites and is not expected to add material expenses to ENDRA.
  • Expanded into China with an eighth clinical study partner. ENDRA’s latest research partnership, with China’s renowned Shanghai General Hospital (Shanghai First People’s Hospital Affiliated with Shanghai Jiao Tong University), further validates interest in ENDRA’s technology and provides a strategic entry point into China’s healthcare market, which seeks to deliver cost-effective services to 1.4 billion citizens including an estimated 350 million people with NAFLD and Non-Alcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH).
  • Grew global intellectual property (IP) portfolio to 90 assets, including 46 issued patents. The company was issued five U.S. patents, two European patents and four Chinese patents that further protect its optimized hybrid ultrasound and thermoacoustic imaging systems for a wide range of applications. In addition, one of the newly issued U.S. patents related to the transfer of data from a device not connected to the internet expands potential licensing opportunities for the company.
  • Achieved key Quality Management System certification. ENDRA received Medical Device Quality Management System ISO 13485:2016 recertification, which affirms its quality standards supporting the TAEUS system’s CE mark. It further demonstrates the company’s commitment to uphold the highest quality development and manufacture of the TAEUS System to meet customer and international regulatory standards.

“We significantly strengthened our balance sheet during the challenging macro environment with the use of our ATM facility to ensure we are well-capitalized to fund the ramp-up in our sales and marketing activities in Europe and our regulatory process in the U.S.," stated Francois Michelon, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of ENDRA. “Central to these goals, we are advancing our clinical research sites to generate data to support the commercialization of our TAEUS system and the submission of our De Novo request. To date, approximately 40 patients have been scanned in the U.S., and we recently activated a new research site in Germany to contribute clinical data and help ENDRA evaluate new product features. With these advancements, as well as the activation of our remaining clinical sites in Europe, the U.S and Asia in the coming months, we are confident in achieving our goal of scanning over 200 patients by year-end."

First Quarter 2022 Financial Results

  • Operating expenses increased to $2.9 million in the first quarter of 2022 from $2.6 million in the same period in 2021. The increase was primarily due to increased spending for commercialization of TAEUS and ongoing product development.
  • Net loss in the first quarter of 2022 was $2.9 million, or $0.07 per share, compared with a net loss of $2.3 million, or $0.06 per share, in the first quarter of 2021.
  • Cash and cash equivalents were $7.1 million as of March 31, 2022; as noted above, $7.8 million was raised subsequent to the close of the first quarter through the company’s ATM facility.

About ENDRA Life Sciences Inc.

ENDRA Life Sciences is the pioneer of Thermo Acoustic Enhanced UltraSound (TAEUS®), a ground-breaking technology being developed to visualize tissue like MRI, but at 1/50th the cost and at the point of patient care. TAEUS® is designed to work in concert with 400,000 cart-based ultrasound systems in use globally today. TAEUS® is initially focused on the measurement of fat in the liver as a means to assess and monitor Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) and Non-Alcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH), chronic liver conditions that affect over one billion people globally, and for which there are no practical diagnostic tools. Beyond the liver, ENDRA is exploring several other clinical applications of TAEUS®, including visualization of tissue temperature during energy-based surgical procedures.
