Financial results for three months ended March 31, 2024

For the three months ended March 31, 2024 (the “reported period”), the Company reported a net loss of $12.2 million, compared to a net loss of $11.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 (which is referred as the “comparable period”), representing an increase of $0.4 million. The increase was largely due to onetime income that was recorded in the comparable period due to a decrease in the Company’s earn-out liabilities in the amount of $4.7 million and an increase in gross loss in the amount of $0.5 million, which was offset by a decrease of $1.1 million in the research and development expenses, a decrease of $0.4 million in the sales and marketing expenses, a decrease of $2.8 million in the general and administrative expenses and increase of $0.4 in the Company’s financial income.

The Company reported revenue of $2.6 million in the reported period, compared to $2.4 million in the comparable period. During the reported period, the Company generated revenue through teleradiology services, the sales and deployment of its imaging systems and the sale of its AI solutions. 

The Company’s gross loss during the reported period totaled $2.1 million (gross loss margin of (81%)) on a GAAP basis, as compared to $1.5 million (gross loss margin of (62%)) in the comparable period. Non-GAAP gross profit for the reported period was $0.6 million (gross profit margin of approximately 22%), as compared to $1.0 million (gross profit margin of approximately 43%) in the comparable period.

The Company’s revenue from teleradiology services for the reported period was $2.4 million in the reported and comparable periods. The Company’s GAAP gross profit from teleradiology services for the reported period was $0.3 million (gross profit margin of approximately 14%), as compared to $0.5 million (gross profit margin of approximately 21%) in the comparable period. Non-GAAP gross profit of the Company’s teleradiology services for the reported period was $0.9 million (gross profit margin of approximately 37%) as compared to $1.1 million (gross profit margin of approximately 45%) in the comparable period. The decrease was attributable mainly to an increase in the cost of the engaged radiologists due to increases in reading rates.

During the reported period the Company generated revenue through the sales and deployment of its imaging systems which amounted to $48 thousand for the reported period, with a gross loss of 0.4 million on a GAAP and non-GAAP basis. The revenue stems from the sale and deployment of our 2D systems in Africa and our ARC systems in the U.S.

The Company’s revenue from its AI solutions for the reported period was $97 thousand with a gross loss of $2.0 million on a GAAP basis, as compared to revenue of $49 thousand with a gross loss of $2.0 million in the comparable period. Non-GAAP gross profit of the Company’s AI solutions for the reported period was $29 thousand, as compared to a loss of $20 thousand in the comparable period. During the reported period, Nanox AI continued to complete pilot programs with health organizations and other prospects in anticipation of full deployment of its products.

Research and development expenses net for the reported period were $5.2 million, as compared to $6.3 million in the comparable period, reflecting a decrease of $1.1 million. The decrease was mainly due to a research grant of $0.9 million that was received as part of the NHSX project, decrease of $0.2 million in salaries and wages, decrease of $0.2 million in share-based compensation which was offset by an increase of $0.3 million in the expenses related to our research and development activities.

Sales and marketing expenses for the reported period were $0.8 million, as compared to $1.2 million in the comparable period, reflecting a decrease of $0.4 million in the Company’s marketing expenses.

General and administrative expenses for the reported period were $5.0 million, as compared to $7.8 million in the comparable period. The decrease of $2.8 million was mainly due to a decrease in our legal expenses in the amount of $2.2 million, largely as result of the finalization of the SEC investigation and the settlement of the class action and a decrease in the cost of the directors’ and officers’ liability insurance premium in the amount of $0.4 million.

Non-GAAP net loss attributable to ordinary shares for the reported period was $8.1 million, as compared to $10.5 million in the comparable period. The decrease of $2.4 million was mainly due to a decrease in non-GAAP operating expenses of $2.4 million and an increase of $0.4 million in our non-GAAP interest income which was mitigated by a decrease of $0.6 million in our non-GAAP cost of goods sold.

Non-GAAP gross profit for the reported period was $0.6 million, as compared to $1.0 million in the comparable period. Non-GAAP research and development expenses, net for the reported period, were $4.6 million, as compared to $5.5 million in the comparable period. Non-GAAP sales and marketing expenses for the reported period were $0.6 million, as compared to $1.0 million in the comparable period. Non-GAAP general and administrative expenses for the reported period were $4.3 million as compared to $5.4 million in the comparable period.

The difference between the GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures above is mainly attributable to amortization of intangible assets, share-based compensation, change in contingent earnout liability and legal fees in connection with the class-action litigation and the SEC investigation. A reconciliation between GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures for the three months periods ended March 31, 2024, and 2023 is provided in the financial results that are part of this press release.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of March 31, 2024, the Company had total cash, cash equivalents, restricted deposits and marketable securities of $73.3 million, compared to $82.8 million as of December 31, 2023.

As of March 31, 2024, the Company had intangible assets of $78.0 million as compared to $80.6 million as of December 31, 2023. The decrease was attributable to the periodic amortization of intangible assets in the amount of $2.6 million.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release includes information about certain financial measures that are not prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), including non-GAAP net loss attributable to ordinary shares, non-GAAP cost of revenue, non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross profit margin, non-GAAP research and development expenses, non-GAAP sales and marketing expenses, non-GAAP general and administrative expenses and non-GAAP basic and diluted loss per share. These non-GAAP measures are not based on any standardized methodology prescribed by GAAP and are not necessarily comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. These non-GAAP measures are adjusted for (as applicable) amortization of intangible assets, share-based compensation expenses, change in contingent earnout liability and legal fees in connection with class-action litigation and the SEC investigation. The Company’s management and board of directors utilize these non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate the Company’s performance. The Company provides these non-GAAP measures of the Company’s performance to investors because management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures, when viewed with the Company’s results under GAAP and the accompanying reconciliations, are useful in identifying underlying trends in ongoing operations. However, these non-GAAP measures are not measures of financial performance under GAAP and, accordingly, should not be considered as alternatives to GAAP measures as indicators of operating performance. Further, these non-GAAP measures should not be considered measures of the Company’s liquidity. A reconciliation of certain GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures has been provided in the tables included in this press release.

Use of non-GAAP Financial Measures

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial information is prepared in conformity with GAAP. The Company uses information about certain financial measures that are not prepared in accordance with GAAP, including non-GAAP net loss attributable to ordinary shares, non-GAAP cost of revenue, non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross profit margin, non-GAAP research and development expenses, non-GAAP sales and marketing expenses, non-GAAP general and administrative expenses and non-GAAP basic and diluted loss per share. These non-GAAP measures are adjusted for (as applicable) amortization of intangible assets, share-based compensation expenses, change in contingent earnout liability and legal fees in connection with the class-action litigation and the SEC investigation. The Company believes that separate analysis and exclusion of the one-off or non-cash impact of the above reconciling items (as applicable) adds clarity to the constituent parts of its performance. The Company reviews these non-GAAP financial measures together with GAAP financial measures to obtain a better understanding of its operating performance. It uses the non-GAAP financial measures for planning, forecasting, and measuring results against the forecast. The Company believes that the non-GAAP financial measures are useful supplemental information for investors and analysts to assess its operating performance. However, these non-GAAP measures are not measures of financial performance under GAAP and, accordingly, should not be considered as alternatives to GAAP measures as indicators of operating performance.
