MINNEAPOLIS, Nov. 16, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Skyline Medical Inc. (Nasdaq: SKLN ) (Nasdaq: SKLNU ), producer of the FDA-approved STREAMWAY System for automated, direct-to-drain medical fluid disposal, today reported its financial results for the three month period ended September 30, 2015.
Josh Kornberg, CEO of Skyline, commented, “We have been focused on positioning the STREAMWAY System as the premium waste fluid disposal system in the market by targeting respected and large healthcare facilities throughout the country. During 2015, we successfully installed STREAMWAY Systems at Beth Israel Hospital, Dartmouth – Hitchcock Medical Center, VA Medical Center, Penn State Hershey Medical Center and Duke University Health System, among other notable facilities. We believe that having these facilities as active customers will be key to our success as we begin deploying our capital to build a national sales and marketing team to meet the strong demand for our flagship product and position us for rapid growth in 2016.
“The adoption of the STREAMWAY System has outpaced our expectations since we launched our next generation technology last year. We currently have 12 new STREAMWAY trials in process at U.S. medical clinics and over 100 installations throughout the U.S.,” continued Mr. Kornberg.
“Our success selling to major hospitals indicates that medical centers are shifting away from, and we are displacing, alternative fluid management solutions that have been in place for many years. For us to have achieved this, despite our limited sales and marketing capabilities, truly validates the quality and effectiveness of the STREAMWAY™ System. The STREAMWAY is currently installed in a wide variety of procedure rooms, including surgery, interventional radiology and endoscopy suites, demonstrating very significant market potential for the product. Moreover, we are starting to see repeat orders from some of these customers.
“The recent capital raise, combined with careful management of the Company’s burn rate and high margins, should allow us to fund future growth for the foreseeable future. Looking ahead, we are exploring strategic joint ventures for distribution, and we believe there may be attractive opportunities for accretive acquisitions. We are also in the process of launching our global expansion strategy and are excited to have filed for international patents in Canada and select European countries, which are major potential markets for our technologies,” concluded Mr. Kornberg. Recent Operational Highlights:
- 12 new STREAMWAY trials in process at U.S. medical clinics;
- 15 STREAMWAY units sold and shipped in first nine months of 2015;
- Significantly expanding sales and marketing for the STREAMWAY System; expected to drive sales starting in early 2016
- International expansion underway with filing of patents in Canada and select European countries;
- NASDAQ listing and capital raise in August 2015 to create liquidity and value for security holders;
Operational Overview
Skyline Medical currently has 12 ongoing trials of the STREAMWAY® System across eight different states in the U.S. These trials are taking place in a range of different medical facilities including hospitals and surgery centers. The trial periods are offered as a way for the facilities to validate the STREAMWAY on a small scale, prior to purchasing the trialed units and ultimately rolling out standardized fluid waste management systems across the whole facility.
The Company recently announced that it is also in the process of filing international patent applications for the technologies and processes applied in the STREAMWAY® System. The initial applications are being applied for in Canada and select European countries to advance the Company’s strategy to commence commercial activities in major international markets. The patents are for a direct-to-drain fluid waste disposal system that has continuous suction and unlimited capacity.
Subsequent to the quarter end, the Company presented at the Outpatient Surgery Magazine's OR Excellence 2015 Trade Show in San Antonio, Texas.
Financial Overview
Revenues for the third quarter of 2015 were $85,792, compared to $397,254 for the same period in 2014. Gross profit for the third quarter of 2015 was $66,019, or 77%, compared to $262,528 for the same period in 2014.
Net loss for the period was $1.1 million or $0.28 per basic and diluted share, compared to a net loss of $1.1 million, or $0.37 per basic and diluted share, in the comparable period in 2014.
The Company strengthened its balance sheet in August with the successful completion of a capital raise and concurrent listing of its common stock and units on the NASDAQ Capital Market. The Company reported $7.7 million in cash as of September 30, 2015.
About Skyline Medical Inc.
Skyline Medical Inc. produces a fully automated, patented, FDA-cleared, waste fluid disposal system that virtually eliminates staff exposure to blood, irrigation fluid and other potentially infectious fluids found in the healthcare environment. Antiquated manual fluid handling methods — which require hand carrying and emptying filled fluid canisters — present an exposure risk and potential liability. Skyline Medical's STREAMWAY System fully automates the collection, measurement and disposal of waste fluids and is designed to: 1) reduce overhead costs to hospitals and surgical centers, 2) improve compliance with Occupational State and Health Association (OSHA) and other regulatory agency safety guidelines, 3) improve efficiency in the operating room, and radiology and endoscopy departments — leading to greater profitability, and 4) provide greater environmental stewardship by helping to eliminate the approximately 50 million potentially disease-infected canisters that go into landfills annually in the United States.
