SOUTH EASTON, MA--(Marketwired - Mar 22, 2017) - Pressure BioSciences, Inc. (OTCQB: PBIO) ("PBI" or the "Company") today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, provided a business update, and offered limited guidance for FY2017.

Financial Results: Q4 2016 vs. Q4 2015
Products and services revenue was $365,262 in the fourth quarter of 2016 compared to $235,600 in the same quarter of 2015, a 55% increase. Sales of consumables were $50,054 for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2016 compared to $29,521 for the same period in 2015, an increase of 70%. Grant revenue for Q4 2016 was $54,449 compared to $128,519 for the same period in 2015.

Total revenue for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2016 was $419,711 compared to $364,119 for the same period in 2015, a 15% increase. This increase was due to products and services sales growth.

Operating loss for Q4 2016 was $1,177,205 compared to a loss of $935,746 for the same period in 2015. This increase was due primarily to inventory valuations and increases in marketing/IR activities, off-set by an increase in total revenue.

Income per common share -- basic -- was $0.10 for Q4 2016 compared to a loss per common share of $0.19 for the same period in 2015. Income per common share -- diluted -- was $0.03 for Q4 2016 compared to a loss per common share of $0.19 for the same period in 2015.

Financial Results: FY2016 vs. FY2015
Products and services revenue was $1,794,749 in the year ended December 31, 2016 compared with $1,409,991 in the year ended December 31, 2015, a 27% increase. Sales of consumables were $199,873 for the year ended December 31, 2016 compared to $146,408 for the same period in 2015, an increase of $53,465 or 37%.

Total revenue for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 was $1,976,487 compared to $1,797,691 for the same period in 2015, a 10% increase. This increase was due to products and services sales growth.

Operating loss for the year ended December 31, 2016 was $3,735,653 compared to a loss of $3,565,182 for the same period in 2015. This increase in operating loss was due primarily to increases in R&D, Sales and Marketing, and IR expenses, off-set to a certain extent by an increase in total revenue.

Loss per common share -- basic and diluted -- was $0.10 for the year ended December 31, 2016 and $0.36 for the same period in 2015.
