Pyng Medical Corp. Reports First Quarter Fiscal 2016 Results

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Feb. 22, 2016) - Pyng Medical Corp. (TSX VENTURE:PYT) today announced financial and operating results for the three months December 31, 2015. All amounts are in Canadian dollars unless stated otherwise.

The Company reported total sales of $1,221,998 for the three months ended December 31, 2015, down 19% from $1,514,075 reported for the first quarter fiscal 2015. This decrease was primarily related to military product shipments being down from last year, although this decrease was partially offset by increased sales from the civilian market via the Company's trauma products. Gross margin as a percentage of sales increased to 45% from 44% a year ago driven by the product mix toward higher margin products. Operating expenses increased 40% to $1,081,381 this year which reflected the Company's growth strategy through product and market expansion.

The Company reported a net loss of $530,963 for this quarter, equal to a loss of $0.019 per share, compared to a net loss of $109,042 or loss of $0.005 per share one year earlier. Earnings before interest, depreciation, amortization and taxes ("EBITDA") from continuing operations were a loss of $373,907, a decrease of $426,791 from $52,884 reported for the first quarter of fiscal 2015.

As at December 31, 2015, the Company had a cash balance of $545,318, an increase of $37,809 compared with the balance of $507,509 as at September 30, 2015. During the quarter ended December 31, 2015, the Company paid back principal of $111,638 on two promissory notes and closed a share for debt transaction to settle a short term loan and partial trade payable. The Company continues to pursue debt and/or equity financing to help fund its working capital needs. There can be no assurance that these initiatives will be successful.
