Pyng Medical Corp. Reports Third Quarter Fiscal 2016 Results

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Aug. 23, 2016) - Pyng Medical Corp. (TSX VENTURE:PYT) today announced financial and operating results for the three and nine months June 30, 2016. All amounts are in Canadian dollars unless stated otherwise.

The Company reported total sales of $1,336,501 for the three months ended June 30, 2016, down 32% from $1,974,772 reported for the third quarter fiscal 2015.The sales decrease was primarily attributed to a cyclical drop in sales from the military market segment, which has been the case for much of fiscal 2016. In this third quarter, the decrease was partially offset by the increased sales from the civilian market via the Company's trauma products (TPOD and MAT). It is expected that military revenues will rebound and improve in coming quarters and purchase orders have been increasing for several months. The Company is actually starting to see an increase in Military orders now and thus its Backorder position is increasing. Gross margin as a percentage of sales increased to 46% from 45% a year ago, driven by the cost reduction on trauma products. Operating expenses increased 6% to $883,238 from $832,655 reported a year ago. The higher sales & marketing expenses is the main contributor for the operating expense increase.

The Company reported a net loss of $299,595 for this quarter, equal to a loss of $0.011 per share, compared to a net income of $22,082 or $0.001 per share one year earlier. Earnings before interest, depreciation, amortization and taxes ("EBITDA") from continuing operations were a loss of $162,236, a decrease of $346,267 from earnings of $184,031 reported for the third quarter of fiscal 2015.

For the six months ended June 30, 2016, total sales of $3,776,578 were recorded, down 27% from $5,139,375 for the comparative period last year due to the lower military sales, partially offset by increased sales on trauma products from the civilian market. Gross margin as a percentage of sales remained flat at 47% with last year, but the total amount decreased to $1,761,332 from $2,407,390 reported one year ago. Total operating expenses went up 22% to $2,795,941 from $2,300,190 with market for the comparative period of last year, primarily attributed to the higher sales and marketing expenses.

As at June 30, 2016, the Company had a cash balance of $607,852, an increase of $100,343 compared with the balance of $507,509 as at September 30, 2015. The working capital deficiency increased however, from $383,337 as at September 30, 2015 to $1,200,056 as at June 30, 2016. During the quarter ended June 30, 2016, the Company paid back principal of $175,749 on two promissory notes, including one which was fully paid out. 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.
