ENDRA Life Sciences Reports First Quarter 2023 Financial Results and Provides a Business Update

Conference call begins at 4:30 p.m. Eastern time today

ENDRA Life Sciences Inc. (NASDAQ: NDRA), a pioneer of Thermo Acoustic Enhanced UltraSound (TAEUS®), today reported financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and provided a business update. Highlights include:

  • Completed enrollment of subjects and data collection for FDA De Novo request, with more than 100 TAEUS system scans utilizing new interactive guidance tool performed at global clinical investigational sites. In early 2023, ENDRA implemented a software guidance tool to enhance performance of its TAEUS system at several clinical evaluation sites and recently completed data collection on more than 100 TAEUS scans and MRI confirmatory scans. With the requisite data collection now complete, ENDRA is finalizing that portion of its De Novo request to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The data will also be used to support commercialization of the TAEUS liver device in Europe and, after FDA clearance, in the U.S.



  • Preparing De Novo FDA submission. In the U.S., ENDRA is pursuing the De Novo regulatory pathway for its TAEUS liver device, which is intended to characterize fatty liver tissue as a non-invasive means to assess and monitor Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD). The De Novo pathway is reserved for novel technologies and should assist ENDRA in achieving the strongest market position with TAEUS-optimized claims. Given the completion of data collection, ENDRA plans to submit the request mid-2023.



  • Highlighted TAEUS’ liver system capabilities at clinical conferences. The ENDRA team continues to drive awareness of the TAEUS system by meeting with prospective customers and partners at clinical conferences in the U.S. and Europe. In the first quarter, ENDRA participated in the Francophone Society of Diabetes annual meeting. In addition, the Company’s peer-reviewed clinical abstract titled “Thermoacoustic assessment of fatty liver disease - an early clinical feasibility study” was accepted for a poster presentation at the prestigious European Association for the Study of the Liver (EASL) Congress, being held June 21-24 in Vienna. Acceptance of this abstract for presentation is a significant step in raising awareness and demonstrating the capabilities of TAEUS among prospective clinical users and driving commercial adoption.



  • Continued expansion of intellectual property portfolio to 63 issued patents globally. Year-to-date, seven patents were issued to ENDRA, including three in the U.S., two in Europe and two in China. These patents support ENDRA’s strategy to protect the TAEUS system for its initial indication of measuring liver fat, as well as other potential applications such as monitoring tissue temperature during surgical procedures. In addition, ENDRA is pursuing licensing opportunities in non-core indications to further enhance the value of its intellectual property portfolio.



  • Subsequent to the close of the quarter, raised $4.5 million and extended cash runway. The Company raised $4.5 million in net proceeds from the sale of common stock and warrants in a public offering. With this bolstered cash position, management believes ENDRA is capitalized to fund operations through several important milestones, including advancing the TAEUS system through the regulatory process in the U.S. and supporting commercial activities in Europe.

“We are pleased to announce completion of the data collection at our global clinical evaluation sites to support our planned TAEUS U.S. regulatory submission. The data collected year-to-date is from TAEUS scans guided by our interactive software tool, which demonstrated marked improvement in intra-operator performance and reliability. We believe these scans and MRI confirmatory data will demonstrate the ability of TAEUS to measure liver fat in the earlier stages of NAFLD and at the point of patient care. We are analyzing this data, and expect to make our De Novo submission to the FDA mid-year,” stated Francois Michelon, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of ENDRA. “In addition, we strengthened our balance sheet with an upsized $4.5 million capital raise from long-term ENDRA shareholders and insiders. This capital infusion provides a cash runway to achieve key regulatory and commercial milestones for our TAEUS system.”

First Quarter 2023 Financial Results

In the first quarter of 2023, our operating expenses were $2.9 million, unchanged from the first quarter in 2022. Increases in research and development and general and administrative expenses were offset by decreases in sales and marketing expenses.

Net loss in the first quarter of 2023 was $2.9 million, or $0.93 per share, compared with a net loss of $2.9 million, or $1.33 per share, in the first quarter of 2022.

Cash and cash equivalents were $2.4 million as of March 31, 2023. Subsequent to the close of the quarter, the Company raised $4.5 million in net proceeds through a registered offering.

Management will host a conference call and webcast today at 4:30 p.m. Eastern time to discuss these results, provide an update on recent corporate developments and answer questions.

About ENDRA Life Sciences Inc.

ENDRA Life Sciences is the pioneer of Thermo Acoustic Enhanced UltraSound (TAEUS®), a ground-breaking technology being developed to visualize tissue like MRI, but at 1/50th the cost and at the point of patient care. TAEUS® is designed to work in concert with the more than 700,000 ultrasound systems in use globally today. TAEUS® is initially focused on the measurement of fat in the liver as a means to assess and monitor Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) and Non-Alcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH), chronic liver conditions that affect over two billion people globally, and for which there are no practical diagnostic tools. Beyond the liver, ENDRA is exploring several other clinical applications of TAEUS®, including visualization of tissue temperature during energy-based surgical procedures.
