Pyng Medical Releases Strong Third Quarter 2008 Results – Pyng’s Expanded Product Portfolio Enhances Future Revenue Potential
Vancouver, BC Pyng Medical Corp. (PYT: TSX .V) today released its unaudited third quarter fiscal 2008 results for the period ending June 30, 2008, marking the Company’s seventh consecutive quarter of growth and profitability. Third quarter revenues of $1,624,967 exceeded the prior year period by 20%. Net income for the period increased to $97,573 compared to $47,684 in the third quarter of 2007. Pyng Medical also achieved two priority business development milestones during the quarter which significantly enhance the Company’s future revenue potential.
In May 2008, Pyng received regulatory clearance from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and Health Canada for the expanded use of its proprietary FAST1® Intraosseous Infusion System to include adolescent patient populations, in addition to adults. In June 2008, the Company expanded its product portfolio by acquiring the trauma assets of California-based Bio Cybernetics International (BCI), including the market leading T-POD® Pelvic Stabilizer, MAT® Tourniquet and CRIC™ Cricothyrotomy Kit.
“The third quarter of 2008 was a period of substantial growth that increases the Company’s unique expertise in resuscitative care and dramatically enhances future revenue potential from product sales,” said David Christie, President and CEO. “It’s been a swift and seamless transition. We are now selling a complimentary suite of market leading products through an expanded international distribution network into large markets, including hospitals, emergency medical services and military forces worldwide. With our enhanced management team, we look forward to commercially launching CRIC™ upon receipt of US FDA clearance which we expect to receive this fall.”
Pyng’s balance sheet remains strong with $968,062 in working capital, $1 million operating loan and $1 million line-of-credit. Cash flow also remains strong with earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization of approximately $715,000 year-to-date at the end of the third quarter.
Pyng’s quarterly conference call and webcast will occur at 10:00 am Pacific Time, Thursday July 31, 2008.
