AirXpanders Announces Strong Revenue Performance in Q2, 2019

08 / 07 / 2019

SAN JOSE, Calif., July 8, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- AirXpanders, Inc. (ASX: AXP), a medical device company focused on the design, manufacture, sale and distribution of the AeroForm® Tissue Expander System, today announced preliminary second quarter total revenue of $1.87 million. U.S. revenue was approximately $1.79 mm, up 14% from Q1, 2019.

"We were very pleased to see significant growth in our U.S. business during Q2, especially given our staff reductions earlier in the quarter," said Frank Grillo, President and CEO of AirXpanders. "Our US business grew 14% compared to Q1, 2019, with a notably smaller sales team versus prior quarters. In addition, we came very close to matching our all-time high for patients treated with AeroForm in a single quarter. We believe this shows the commitment of our customers to our technology, and the value provided to both the surgeons and patients. AeroForm is easier for the surgeon, and patients appreciate the ability to avoid several needle-sticks shortly after surgery, as is the case with traditional saline expanders."

Previously, the Company announced it has retained Cowen as an independent financial advisor to assist in exploring financial and strategic alternatives. With Cowen's assistance, the Company is continuing to evaluate opportunities to explore a wide range of financial and strategic alternatives, that could enhance stockholder value and enable the Company to continue serving patients and physicians.
