Fairfield, CT – April 19, 2016 – Calmare Therapeutics Incorporated, (OTC: CTTC) (CTI), the pain mitigation company, reported results for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2015.
Three Months Ended December 31, 2015
Revenues from the commercial sale and shipment of Calmare® pain therapy devices (Devices) for the three months ended December 31, 2015 were $694,000 as compared with $645,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2014.
Device sales for the three months ended December 31, 2015 were five (5) Devices as compared with two (2) Devices for the three months ended December 31, 2014. This increase was attributable to the longer than normal sales cycle in the previous quarter, whereby the critical mass of sales initiated in the previous quarter, closed and were booked in the current quarter.
Total expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2015 were $3,178,000 as compared with $2,718,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2014. This increase in total expenses was largely driven by an increase in consulting costs and fees associated with furthering our presence in the military contractor space.
General and administrative expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2015 were $1,101,000 as compared with $939,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2014. This increase is primarily due to an increase in legal fees associated with litigation and the addition of one senior executive.
Net loss for the three months ended December 31, 2015 was $2,615,000 or $0.09 per basic and diluted share as compared with a net loss of $2,182,000 or $0.09 for the three months ended December 31, 2014.
Year Ended December 31, 2015
Revenues from the commercial sale and shipment of the Calmare® pain therapy devices for the year ended December 31, 2015 were $892,000 as compared with $1,045,000 for the year ended December 31, 2014. Although the number of Devices sold declined from 2014 to 2015 by nearly 50%, the average Device sales price increased.
Device sales for the year ended December 31, 2015 were nine (9) as compared with seventeen (17) Devices for the comparable year ended December 31, 2014. The primary reason for this decline was the absence of international sales in 2015 as the Company focused on domestic and military sales. Gross margin increased slightly to $612,000 in 2015 from $604,000 in 2014 due to the higher gross margin associated with U.S. private sector sales.
Total expenses for the year ended December 31, 2015 were $4,394,000 as compared with $4,134,000 for the year ended December 31, 2014.
General and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2015 were $1,463,000 as compared with $1,371,000 for the year ended December 31, 2014. The increase is primarily due to an increase in legal fees associated with litigation.
Net loss for the year ended December 31, 2015 was $3,678,000 or $0.13 per basic and diluted share as compared with a net loss of $3,411,000 or $0.15 per basic and diluted share for the year ended December 31, 2014.
Total capital raised over the past year was $1,623,000 and consisted of: $1,257,000 of hybrid debt and $366,000 of equity.
Cash-on-hand at December 31, 2015 was $50,000 as compared to $6,000 at December 31, 2014.
"Calmare successfully navigated through an extremely challenging year," said CTI President & CEO Conrad Mir.
