WESTBURY, NY–(Marketwired – May 14, 2015) – Vasomedical, Inc. (“Vasomedical”) (OTCBB: VASO) today reported its operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2015.

“We are excited to report that during the quarter, the Company generated a 5% increase in revenue compared to the first quarter of 2014 as well as a positive cash flow of $6.3 million from operating activities, thanks to improved performance in the Equipment segment and in the Sales Representation segment,” commented Dr. Jun Ma, President and Chief Executive Officer of Vasomedical, Inc. “While we usually incur a loss for the beginning part of the fiscal year due to the seasonality of our business, our net loss for the first quarter of 2015 reduced significantly to $252 thousand compared to a loss of $1.0 million for the same quarter a year ago. Given this momentum, we expect to maintain annual profitability in 2015.”

“Our recently formed IT segment, which only began operations in the second half of 2014, accounted for an operating loss of $355 thousand for the quarter, but through its booked orders and pipeline, it is beginning to penetrate the market and starting to show the potential for significant future revenue growth. We are optimistic about the future of this business as well as our VSK joint venture for international EECP sales, which began operations in the first quarter of 2015, and we anticipate positive results from these new endeavors in the near future,” concluded Dr. Ma.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2015 Financial Results

For the three months ended March 31, 2015, revenue increased by 5% to $7.5 million from $7.1 million for the same period of 2014. This is mainly attributable to an increase of 25% in our Equipment segment revenue resulting from an increase in volume of EECP system sales and an increase in sales in our China operations. Commission revenue in our Sales Representation segment increased by 2% as a result of an increase in equipment deliveries by GEHC.

Gross profit for the first quarter of 2015 increased 8% to $5.6 million, compared with $5.2 million for the first quarter of 2014. Gross profit increased due to an increase in margin in our Equipment segment as a result of an increase in EECP system shipments, and an increase in profit margin in our Sales Representation segment due to an increase in deliveries of equipment and a decrease in commission expense.

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses for the first quarter of 2015 decreased 5% to $5.7 million or 77% of revenues, compared with $6.0 million, or 85% of revenues for the same period last year. This is mainly attributable to our cost reduction program in our Equipment segment and the holding of the annual national sales meeting in the Sales Representation segment in the second quarter of 2015 instead of the first quarter as in 2014.

Net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2015 was $0.3 million, a 76% decrease compared with a net loss of $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014. Included in the loss was the approximately $0.4 million loss in our newly launched IT segment. The significant loss reduction was a result of an increase in gross profit and reduced SG&A expenses as discussed above.

As of March 31, 2015, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $15.3 million and short-term investments of $109 thousand. We anticipate continued positive cash flows from operations for the current year.
