EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn., May 09, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Sanuwave Health, Inc. (the "Company" or "Sanuwave”) (NASDAQ: SNWV), a leading provider of next-generation FDA-approved wound care products, is pleased to provide its financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2025.

Q1 2025 ended March 31, 2025

• Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2025, totaled $9.34 million, an increase of 61%, as compared to $5.79 million for the same period of 2024. This growth exceeded guidance of growth of 45-55% year on year for the quarter.
• 98 UltraMist® systems were sold in Q1 2025 up from 43 in Q1 2024, and down from 135 in Q4 2024.
• UltraMist® consumables revenue increased by 43% to $5.8 million in Q1 2025, versus $4.1 million for the same quarter last year. UltraMist® revenue represented 99% of Sanuwave's overall revenues in Q1 2025.
• Gross margin as a percentage of revenue amounted to 79.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2025, versus 72.6% for the same period last year.
• For the three months ended March 31, 2025, operating income totaled $1.0 million, an increase of $2.0 million, compared to Q1 2024, primarily as a result of the Company's continued efforts to drive profitable growth and manage expenses.
• Net loss for the first quarter of 2025 was $5.7 million, driven predominantly by the change in the fair value of derivative liabilities. This compares to a net loss of $4.5 million in the first quarter of 2024 which was primarily driven by interest expense and the change in the fair value of derivative liabilities.
• Adjusted EBITDA [1] for the three months ended March 31, 2025, was $2.3 million versus Adjusted EBITDA of negative $59 thousand for the same period last year.

"We're pleased to come into 2025 with some strong year on year results for Q1, which is always a bit of a slower quarter seasonally for Sanuwave and for med device in general,” said Morgan Frank, CEO. "Placing 98 new systems in the quarter (128% more than same quarter last year) is a great start to the year and some nice momentum to take into the spring. We continue to hire salespeople and to expand our commercial operations and clinical teams to support our ongoing growth while maintaining our focus on sustaining and enhancing profitability. We spent Q1 shoring up inventory levels to the targets we had discussed on prior calls and now have, for the first time, a comfortable level of both systems and applicators in stock to allow us to aggressively pursue our 'elephant hunting' strategy of engagement with larger customers without fear of product constraint limiting our efforts. Our pipeline remains strong and we remain focused on and optimistic about 2025 as a breakout year for Sanuwave. We look forward to sharing our further progress with you in future quarters.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release includes certain financial measures that are not presented in our financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("U.S. GAAP”). These financial measures are considered "non-GAAP financial measures" and are intended to supplement, and should not be considered as superior to, or a replacement for, financial measures presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

The Company uses Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization ("EBITDA”) and Adjusted EBITDA to assess its operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA is Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization adjusted for the change in fair value of derivatives and any significant non-cash or infrequent charges. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as alternatives to net income (loss) as a measure of financial performance or any other performance measure derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and they should not be construed as an inference that the Company's future results will be unaffected by unusual or infrequent items. These non-GAAP financial measures are presented in a consistent manner for each period, unless otherwise disclosed. The Company uses these measures for the purpose of evaluating its historical and prospective financial performance, as well as its performance relative to competitors. These measures also help the Company to make operational and strategic decisions. The Company believes that providing this information to investors, in addition to U.S. GAAP measures, allows them to see the Company's results through the eyes of management, and to better understand its historical and future financial performance. These non-GAAP financial measures are also frequently used by analysts, investors, and other interested parties to evaluate companies in our industry, when considered alongside other U.S. GAAP measures.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA have their limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider them in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the Company's results as reported under U.S. GAAP. Some of these limitations are that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA:

• Do not reflect every expenditure, future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments.
• Do not reflect all changes in our working capital needs.
• Do not reflect interest expense, or the amount necessary to service our outstanding debt.

As presented in the U.S. GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliations section below, the Company's non-GAAP financial measures exclude the impact of certain charges that contribute to our net income (loss).

Forward-looking statements include all statements that are not statements of historical fact regarding intent, belief or current expectations of the Company, its directors or its officers. Investors are cautioned that any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond the Company's ability to control.
