WOBURN, Mass., Oct. 21, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- NeuroMetrix, Inc. (Nasdaq: NURO) today reported financial and business highlights for the quarter ended September 30, 2021. The Company is a leader in proprietary non-invasive medical devices for the diagnosis and treatment of pain and neurological disorders.
Highlights:
"We continued to successfully execute on our core initiatives this past quarter. We saw further adoption of DPNCheck testing within Medicare Advantage plans and are pleased that Sue Bell has joined the Company to lead and accelerate this effort," said Shai N. Gozani, M.D., Ph.D., President and Chief Executive Officer of NeuroMetrix. “Submission of the De Novo request was an important milestone in our effort to make Quell technology available as a prescription treatment for people living with fibromyalgia and we look forward to working with the FDA during their review process.”
Financials:
Q3 2021 revenue of $2.1 million exceeded revenue of Q3 2020 by $28 thousand. The gross margin rate of 70.0% in Q3 2021 declined from 73.6% in Q3 2020 due to cost increases to secure electronic parts essential to the Company’s products. Operating expenses of $2.1 million increased from $1.8 million in Q3 2020. The increase was attributable to regulatory costs, higher R&D parts costs, sales & marketing staffing, and non-cash stock compensation expenses. The Q3 2021 net loss of $687 thousand, or $0.12 per share, exceeded the net loss in Q3 2020 of $257 thousand, or $0.07 per share by $430 thousand.
