ANN ARBOR, MI / ACCESSWIRE / March 26, 2020 / ENDRA Life Sciences Inc. ('ENDRA') (NASDAQ:NDRA), the pioneer of Thermo Acoustic Enhanced UltraSound (TAEUS™), today provided a business update and reported fourth quarter and full year 2019 financial results.

'I am proud of the many, notable achievements ENDRA has made over the last year, which have given us strong forward momentum as we move towards our goal of bringing our breakthrough liver fat measurement application of the TAEUS technology to the EU and U.S. markets,' said Francois Michelon, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. 'Like others in our industry, we continue to monitor and evaluate the near and long term potential impacts of the COVID19 pandemic, and are making required adjustments to ensure ENDRA remains well positioned to deliver on our plans.'

Key 2019 Highlights

• Submitted CE Mark technical file for TAEUS liver device in the EU.

• Completed two-part, first in-human feasibility study of TAEUS liver application at Robarts Research Institute and reported top-line results.

• Announced new clinical study partnerships with two leading clinical institutions.

• Expanded leadership team with new Chief Commercial Officer, Renaud Maloberti, and Vice President of Engineering and Programs, Amy Sitzler.

• Increased intellectual property portfolio to 64 filed, issued and licensed patents and pending patent applications.

Subsequent Events in Q1 2020

• Received CE Mark Approval for TAEUS FLIP (Fatty Liver Imaging Probe) System targeting Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease ('NAFLD') and Non-Alcoholic Steatohepatitis ('NASH').

• Renewed collaboration agreement with the GE Healthcare unit of General Electric Company ('GE'), extending the agreement's term to January 2021.

• Expanded Scientific Advisory Board with the addition of Raza Malik, M.D., Director of Hepatology and Associate Chief of the Division of Gastroenterology at Tufts Medical Center in Boston.

'Results generated from our feasibility study in 2019 and strong clinical reception to our ongoing pre-commercial activities have reinforced our excitement about the potential for the TAEUS liver fat application. We continue to believe it is well positioned to address a significant clinical need and technology gap for a safe, non-invasive, cost-effective and point-of-care tool to assess liver fat in patients with chronic liver conditions like NAFLD and NASH,' continued Michelon. 'With the receipt of the CE Mark approval for TAEUS liver system, which was earlier than anticipated, we are looking forward to ramping up our initial commercialization efforts in Europe and making our regulatory filing in the U.S. in the second quarter of 2020.'

Financial Results for Year Ended December 31, 2019

• Operating expenses increased to $10.8 million in FY 2019 from $9.0 million in FY 2018. The increase was due almost exclusively to increased costs associated with the development of our TAEUS product line.

• Net loss in FY 2019 totaled $13.3 million, and after a non-cash deemed dividend related to the issuance of preferred stock of $4.2 million the loss was $17.5 million, or ($2.34) per basic and diluted share, as compared to a net loss of $9.8 million, or ($2.17) per basic and diluted share in FY 2018.

• Cash at December 31, 2019 totaled $6.2 million, as compared to $6.5 million at December 31, 2018, with no long-term debt outstanding. The decrease of cash is a result of our spending for normal operations offset by our funding throughout the year.

2020 Goals & Milestones

• Initiate EU commercial strategy with an emphasis on establishing clinical evaluation reference sites in target markets and executing TAEUS product marketing communication and education campaigns.

• Bolster and finalize 510(k) regulatory package with important additional verification testing targeting submission to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the second quarter of 2020.

• Begin measured investment in commercial activities and organization to support pre-launch and early commercial stage activities in partnership with GE.

• Engage additional clinical partners and grow the clinical evidence base supporting TAEUS utility in a clinical setting.

• Current cash position expected to be sufficient to fund operations through initial commercialization activities.

About ENDRA Life Sciences Inc.
ENDRA Life Sciences Inc. is the pioneer of Thermo Acoustic Enhanced UltraSound (TAEUS™), a ground-breaking technology that mirrors some applications similar to CT or MRI, but at 50X lower cost, at the point of patient care. TAEUS is designed to work in concert with one million ultrasound systems in global use today. TAEUS is initially focused on the measurement of fat in the liver, as a means to assess and monitor NAFLD and NASH, chronic liver conditions that affect over 1 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.www.endrainc.com
