ENDRA Life Sciences Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2023 Financial Results and Provides Business Update

Conference call begins at 4:30 p.m. Eastern time today

ENDRA Life Sciences Inc. (NASDAQ: NDRA), a pioneer of Thermo Acoustic Enhanced UltraSound (TAEUS®), today reports financial results for the three months and year ended December 31, 2023 and provides a business update.

Highlights from the fourth quarter of 2023 and recent weeks include:

  • Installed first TAEUS system in the UK at King’s College Hospital for clinical evaluation. King's College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust (KCH) in London is one of the leading centers of excellence in the United Kingdom's National Health Service (NHS). KCH will use ENDRA's TAEUS liver system in a clinical study to compare its liver fat assessment accuracy with MRI, the acknowledged research standard. This study is expected to include approximately 75 subjects and is intended to provide essential data to evaluate the TAEUS technology's performance.



  • FDA’s review of ENDRA's De Novo request is ongoing. In the third quarter of 2023, ENDRA submitted a De Novo request for its TAEUS liver system to the FDA. In the fourth quarter of 2023, the FDA issued an Additional Information (AI) request to ENDRA. As a result, ENDRA has had several interactions with and provided additional details to the FDA. These efforts have fostered a better understanding of the FDA’s expectations, which ENDRA is working to achieve. ENDRA has confirmed an in-person FDA meeting in the second quarter of 2024.



  • Showcased the TAEUS system at key hepatology, endocrinology and radiology medical conferences in the U.S. and Europe. During the fourth quarter and recent weeks, the ENDRA team met with prospective customers, industry leaders and key partners at four major clinical conferences, including The Liver Meeting by the American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases. During The Liver Meeting. ENDRA also hosted an offsite panel discussion with multidisciplinary key opinion leaders in the fields of hepatology, endocrinology and radiology to share their unique perspectives on managing Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatohepatitis (MASH).



  • Expanded intellectual property portfolio to 75 issued patents globally. During the fourth quarter of 2023 and recent weeks, ENDRA was issued seven additional patents, including three in the U.S., one in Europe and three in China. The company is actively exploring licensing opportunities in non-core indications to augment the value of its growing intellectual property portfolio.



  • New ICD-10-CM code issued, which paves the way for improved NAFLD diagnostics. The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-10-CM), a global coding system used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes and issued by the World Health Organization, included NAFLD under the ICD-10 K76.0 code. This facilitates standardized billing for the diagnosis of NAFLD, is applicable across the U.S., Europe and other regions, and promotes consistency in medical documentation and insurance processes. ENDRA believes the issuance of the ICD-10 K76.0 code specifically for NAFLD measurement represents a significant opportunity for innovation in liver health diagnostics as healthcare providers now have a clearer pathway to integrate advanced diagnostic technologies, including the TAEUS system.

"With the first therapeutic to treat MASH recently approved by the FDA, updated guidelines that include the screening of fatty liver in adults with type 2 diabetes, pre-diabetes and obesity, and new codes that aid reimbursement, there is accelerating momentum in the marketplace for a non-invasive diagnostic tool to assess liver fat like the TAEUS system,” said Francois Michelon, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of ENDRA. "We continue to collaborate with the FDA and look forward to advancing the regulatory process. In addition, we continue to drive commercial efforts to build awareness of the TAEUS system in Europe. After the recent installation in the UK, we expect the activation of other clinical evaluation sites in Europe and North America this year to bolster data collection and gain traction with potential customers in each of these regions.”

Fourth Quarter 2023 Financial Results

Operating expenses in the fourth quarter of 2023 were $1.5 million, compared with $3.3 million in the fourth quarter in 2022. The decrease was mainly due to lower research and development and general and administrative expenses.

Net loss in the fourth quarter of 2023 was $1.5 million, or $0.17 per share, compared with a net loss of $3.3 million, or $1.04 per share, in the fourth quarter of 2022.

Full Year 2023 Financial Results

Operating expenses in 2023 were $10.5 million, compared with $13.2 million in 2022. The decrease was mainly due to lower research and development and sales and marketing expenses.

Net loss in 2023 was $10.1 million, or $1.58 per share, compared with a net loss of $13.2 million, or $4.56 per share, in 2022.

Cash and cash equivalents were $2.8 million as of December 31, 2023.

About ENDRA Life Sciences Inc.

ENDRA Life Sciences is the pioneer of Thermo Acoustic Enhanced UltraSound (TAEUS®), a ground-breaking technology which characterizes tissue similar to an MRI, but at 1/50th the cost and at the point of patient care. TAEUS® is designed to work in concert with the more than 700,000 ultrasound systems in use globally today. TAEUS® is initially focused on the measurement of fat in the liver as a means to assess and monitor steatotic liver disease (SLD) (formerly known as NAFLD-NASH), a chronic liver disease spectrum that affects over two 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.
