Business Update Highlights

“PAVmed and its subsidiaries continue to make solid progress as we push forward on our long-term growth strategy and mission to create a leading, diversified medical technology company across all three sectors – medical devices, diagnostics and digital health,” said Lishan Aklog, M.D., PAVmed’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “Our combined team has grown to over one hundred and fifty employees and is singularly focused on growing the PAVmed enterprise while enhancing long-term shareholder value. Lucid, Veris and our pre-commercial products are all moving on a solid path forward.”

Highlights from the second quarter and recent weeks include:

  • Lucid’s wholly owned CLIA-certified, CAP-accredited clinical laboratory, now fully operational as an independent entity, processed 850 commercial EsoGuard tests in the second quarter of 2022, which represents a 60% increase sequentially from the first quarter of 2022 and an over 300% increase annually from the second quarter of 2021. The laboratory has commenced submitting claims to commercial payers and has entered into four new participating provider agreements.
  • Lucid continued its steady expansion of its commercial infrastructure. Expansion of the sales team is progressing towards its end-of-year target of sixty and Lucid Test Centers in four new metropolitan areas: Orange County, California, the Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas metropolitan area, Palm Beach County, Florida and Columbus, Ohio.
  • Both leading gastroenterology specialty associations published updated guidelines which now support Lucid’s EsoCheck® Cell Collection Device and EsoGuard® Esophageal DNA Test as an acceptable alternative to endoscopy, and expand the target population and addressable market opportunity for these products.
  • Lucid and over a dozen partner entities participated in the now completed public comment periods following publication of a proposed “foundational” Local Coverage Decision by two Medicare Administrative Contractors and await their response.
  • Veris Health is on schedule to complete software development and commercially launch its Veris Cancer Care Platform this year in conjunction with VerisBox™—a bundle of Veris-branded OEM Bluetooth-enabled connected health care devices.
  • Pre-commercial pipeline consisting of CarpX® Ultrasound (minimally invasive carpal tunnel release with integrated intraluminal ultrasound imaging), Veris Mercury™ (modular implantable monitor paired with vascular access port), and EsoCure™ (endoscopic esophageal ablation device) are progressing well through development towards FDA submission and clearance next year.
  • PortIO’s first-in-human study is progressing with three new sites approved in Colombia, South America. First phase with seven-day implantation duration has been completed, and we are proceeding with the second phase including a sixty-day implantation duration.

Preliminary Financial Results

  • For the three months ended June 30, 2022, due to an extended transition period following the opening of our LucidDx Lab and the onboarding of a new revenue cycle management (“RCM”) partner, initial submission of claims by our RCM provider did not occur until after June 30, 2022. Presently recognized revenue for GAAP purposes is measured by actual collections during the period. Accordingly, there were no EsoGuard revenues recorded for the 850 tests performed for the three months ending June 30, 2022. Operating expenses were approximately $23.5 million, which includes stock-based compensation expenses of $5.0 million. GAAP net loss attributable to shareholders was approximately $25.5 million, or $(0.29) per common share.
  • As shown below and for the purpose of illustrating the effect of stock-based compensation and other non-cash income and expenses on the Company’s financial results, the Company’s preliminary non-GAAP adjusted loss for the three months ended June 30, 2022, was approximately $14.5 million or $(0.17) per common share.
  • PAVmed had cash and cash equivalents of $65.2 million as of June 30, 2022, compared with $77.3 million as of December 31, 2021.

The unaudited financial results for the three months ended June 30, 2022 were filed with the SEC on Form 10-Q on August 15, 2022, and are available at www.pavmed.com or www.sec.gov.

PAVmed Non-GAAP Measures

To supplement our unaudited financial results presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), management provides certain non-GAAP financial measures of the Company’s financial results. These non-GAAP financial measures include net loss before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) and non-GAAP adjusted loss, which further adjusts EBITDA for stock-based compensation expense, loss on the issuance or modification of convertible securities, the periodic change in fair value of convertible securities, and loss on debt extinguishment. The foregoing non-GAAP financial measures of EBITDA and non-GAAP adjusted loss are not recognized terms under U.S. GAAP.

Non-GAAP financial measures are presented with the intent of providing greater transparency to the information used by us in our financial performance analysis and operational decision-making. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful information to assist investors, shareholders, and other readers of our unaudited financial statements in making comparisons to our historical financial results and analyzing the underlying performance of our results of operations. These non-GAAP financial measures are not intended to be, and should not be, a substitute for, considered superior to, considered separately from, or as an alternative to, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

Non-GAAP financial measures are provided to enhance readers’ overall understanding of our current financial results and to provide further information for comparative purposes. Management believes the non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to management and investors by isolating certain expenses, gains, and losses that may not be indicative of our core operating results and business outlook. Specifically, the non-GAAP financial measures include non-GAAP adjusted loss, and its presentation is intended to help the reader understand the effect of the loss on the issuance or modification of convertible securities, the periodic change in fair value of convertible securities, the loss on debt extinguishment and the corresponding accounting for non-cash charges on financial performance. In addition, management believes non-GAAP financial measures enhance the comparability of results against prior periods.

A reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP measure of all non-GAAP financial measures included in this press release for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2022, and 2021 is as follows:

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release includes forward-looking statements that involve risk and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements are any statements that are not historical facts. Such forward-looking statements, which are based upon the current beliefs and expectations of PAVmed’s and Lucid’s management, are subject to risks and uncertainties, which could cause actual results to differ from the forward-looking statements. Risks and uncertainties that may cause such differences include, among other things, volatility in the price of PAVmed’s and Lucid’s common stock; PAVmed’s Series W and Series Z warrants; general economic and market conditions; the uncertainties inherent in research and development, including the cost and time required to advance PAVmed’s and Lucid’s products to regulatory submission; whether regulatory authorities will be satisfied with the design of and results from PAVmed’s and Lucid’s clinical and preclinical studies; whether and when PAVmed’s and Lucid’s products are cleared by regulatory authorities; market acceptance of PAVmed’s and Lucid’s products once cleared and commercialized; PAVmed’s and Lucid’s ability to raise additional funding as needed; and other competitive developments. In addition, PAVmed and Lucid have been monitoring the COVID-19 pandemic and the pandemic’s impact on PAVmed’s and Lucid’s businesses. PAVmed and Lucid expect the significance of the COVID-19 pandemic, including the extent of its effect on its financial and operational results, to be dictated by, among other things, the success of efforts to contain the pandemic and the impact of such efforts on PAVmed’s and Lucid’s businesses. These factors are difficult or impossible to predict accurately and many of them are beyond PAVmed’s and Lucid’s control. In addition, new risks and uncertainties may arise from time to time and are difficult to predict. For a further list and description of these and other important risks and uncertainties that may affect PAVmed’s and Lucid’s future operations, see Part I, Item IA, “Risk Factors,” in PAVmed’s and Lucid’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, as the same may be updated in Part II, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in any Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed by PAVmed after its most recent Annual Report and Lucid’s Registration Statement No. 333-259721 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. PAVmed and Lucid disclaim any intention or obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement to reflect any change in its expectations or in events, conditions, or circumstances on which those expectations may be based, or that may affect the likelihood that actual results will differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements.
