WESTBURY, NY–(Marketwired – Nov 12, 2014) – Vasomedical, Inc. (“Vasomedical”) (OTCBB: VASO) today reported its operating results for the three months ended September 30, 2014.
“We are pleased to report that during the third quarter of 2014 revenue from our Sales Representation segment increased 9.3% to $6.4 million compared to the same period in 2013, resulting in a 3.6% increase in gross profit to $5.4 million in the quarter. In addition, our selling, general and administrative costs decreased 3.0% to $5.3 million compared to $5.5 million for the third quarter of 2013. The net result was a significant decrease in our net loss for the quarter to $0.1 million, from a loss of $0.5 million a year ago,” stated Jun Ma, President and CEO of Vasomedical.
For the third quarter ended September 30, 2014, total revenue was $7.6 million, approximately the same as for the third quarter of 2013. Compared to 2013, Sales Representation segment quarterly revenue increased $547 thousand, or 9.3%, to $6.4 million, while revenue from the Equipment segment declined $510 thousand, or 29.2%, to $1.2 million. The decrease in Equipment segment revenue was primarily due to lower EECP® revenues as a result of lower sales volume and a decrease in revenue from our China operations. As previously reported, we have implemented a plan to significantly reduce our EECP expenses — part of the effect having already been reflected in the reduction of selling, general and administrative expenses for the quarter — while at the same time remaining poised for future growth in the event of positive changes in the EECP business environment.
Gross profit for the third quarter of 2014 increased 3.6% to $5.4 million, compared with $5.2 million for the third quarter of 2013. This increase is primarily a result of the higher commission revenues from the Sales Representation segment, arising primarily from higher commission rates for orders booked in 2013 and delivered in the quarter, partially offset by lower equipment shipments in the Equipment segment.
Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses for the third quarter of 2014 was $5.3 million or 70% of revenues, compared with $5.5 million, or 72% of revenues for the same period last year. The decrease in SG&A expenditures in the third quarter of 2014 resulted primarily from a $329,000 decrease in SG&A expenses in the Equipment segment, partially offset by start up expenses incurred for the new IT segment.
Net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2014 was $0.1 million, a 73% improvement compared to the net loss of $0.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013. The decrease in the loss is principally due to the increase in gross profit from our Sales Representation segment partially offset by a decrease in the gross profit in our Equipment segment.
At September 30, 2014 the Company had net cash and cash equivalents of $9.1 million and working capital of $3.7 million.

Vasomedical to Market and Sell EECP Therapy, BIOX ECG Holter and Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring Products in Brazil
According to the latest World Health Organization (WHO) data, cardiovascular diseases accounted for 31 percent of total deaths in Brazil in 2013 and are the leading cause of death in the country. With a large, aging population, Brazil represents a significant market for Vasomedical’s products for the diagnosis and treatment of heart diseases. While medical device imports still hold a relatively small share of the market, the annual growth percentage rate has been averaged in double digits lately.
“This untapped territory will enable us to pursue opportunities that we expect will generate additional revenue for the Company in the long term. As a result of the approvals, we will be able to organize direct and indirect sales channels and work with the local healthcare community to create awareness and acceptance of our products in both the private and public healthcare sectors in Brazil. We believe this regulatory success will jumpstart our business as we penetrate the South American market,” concluded Dr. Ma.

WESTBURY, NY–(Marketwired – Aug 13, 2014) – Vasomedical, Inc. (“Vasomedical”) (OTCBB: VASO) today reported its operating results for the three months ended June 30, 2014.
“We are pleased to report that during the second quarter of 2014 revenue from our Sales Representation Segment increased 4.6% to $6.7 million compared to the same period in 2013. While we experienced a decline in revenue from our Equipment Segment, the effect of the increased revenue in the Sales Representation Segment resulted in a 2.2% increase in gross profit to $5.5 million in the quarter. In addition, our selling, general and administrative costs decreased 4.4% to $5.5 million compared to $5.7 million for the second quarter of 2013. The net result was a decrease in our net loss to less than $0.2 million for the second quarter of 2014, compared to a loss of over $0.5 million for the same period in 2013. Based on current forecasts, the Company expects to be profitable for the year ended December 31, 2014,” stated Jun Ma, President and CEO of Vasomedical.
“We were also excited to announce the signing of a multi-year Value Added Reseller Agreement (“VAR Agreement”) with GEHC to become a national value added reseller of GE Healthcare IT’s Radiology PACS (Picture Archiving and Communication System) software solutions and to provide related services, including implementation, management and support. We anticipate that this new business will result in a significant increase in revenue and profitability over time,” added Dr. Ma.
Three Months Ended June 30, 2014 Financial Results
For the three months ended June 30, 2014, revenue was relatively flat at $7.9 million compared to $7.9 million for the same period of 2013. Sales Representation segment revenue increased $293 thousand or 4.6% to $6.7 million while revenue from the Equipment Segment declined $325 thousand or 21.6% to $1.2 million. The decrease in equipment segment revenue is primarily due to a lower EECP® revenues as a result of lower volumes and a decrease in revenue from our China operations. As we have stated previously, EECP sales are expected to remain soft unless the acceptance level for its currently indicated use and reimbursement policies change positively. Accordingly, we have engaged in a plan effective July 1, 2014, significantly reducing our EECP expenses, while at the same time remaining poised for future growth in the event of positive changes in the EECP business environment. The uncertain timing for expanded reimbursement or clearance for new clinical indications for EECP therapy to occur was ultimately the reason behind the Company’s diversification strategy, which included entering the GEHC sales representation agreement for certain diagnostic imaging products and the recently signed GEHC IT VAR Agreement, as well as expanding the Company’s product portfolio through acquisitions and partnerships.
Gross profit for the second quarter of 2014 increased 2.2% to $5.5 million, compared with $5.4 million for the first quarter of 2013. This increase is primarily a result of the higher commission revenues from the Sales Representation segment, arising from higher commission rates for orders booked in 2013, partially offset by lower equipment shipments in the Equipment segment.
Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses for the second quarter of 2014 was $5.5 million or 70% of revenues, compared with $5.7 million, or 73% of revenues for the same period last year. The decrease in SG&A expenditures in the second quarter of 2014 resulted primarily from the national sales meeting costs in the Sales Representation segment (as the meeting took place in the first quarter of 2014 but in the second quarter in 2013), partially offset by increased staffing costs associated with the recently introduced MobiCare™ product in the Equipment segment.
Net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2014 was $0.2 million, a 67% improvement compared to the net loss of $0.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013. The decrease in the loss is principally due to the increase in gross profit from our Sales Representation segment partially offset by a decrease in the gross profit in our Equipment segment.
At June 30, 2014 the Company had net cash and cash equivalents of $10.0 million and working capital of $5.5 million.
