PHOENIX, Aug. 21, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — (OTCQB:SNWV) — SANUWAVE Health, Inc.’s Chairman and CEO, Kevin Richardson, Returns to Uptick Newswire’s “Stock Day” Podcast to report on a 300% increase in revenue.
The interview began with Jolly noting, “You know, you guys knocked it out of the park. You just reported your 2nd Quarter revenue up 300%. Is this sustainable and how did we get there?”
Richardson responded that the Company had its best 2nd Quarter ever. They got their FDA clearance in December 2017 and they’re now beginning to see the fruits of all that hard work. The sales in the 2nd Quarter were driven by international deals that really came to light because of the FDA approval. He does believe this growth is sustainable and anticipates continued growth for the remainder of this year.
Jolly wanted to know how big the diabetic foot ulcer market really is.
Unfortunately, it’s growing rapidly and even faster internationally. Richardson indicated that about 10% of the U.S. population suffers from diabetes and about 10% of that figure will suffer some sort of diabetic foot ulcer complication. He indicated the current figure is around 1.8 million people diagnosed with this condition per year, just in the U.S.
Jolly then inquired about the recent FKS deal. SANUWAVE has entered into an agreement with FKS where the Company will go into 11 countries with FKS as their distribution joint venture partner. FKS will be publicly traded later this year and do about $400 million in revenue.
Jolly recently learned that the Company signed three international deals and wanted to know what that involved. Richardson that they were the FKS deal, one in Romania and the other was in Costa Rica. This has allowed SANUWAVE to connect with leading experts in wound care in various parts of the world. These three deals will allow the Company to build out its infrastructure to grow on an international basis.
Richardson commented that the Company’s management team is very committed to standing alongside investors and shareholders. They have put some unusual warrants in place to guarantee income between now and the beginning of 2019, together with the international deals, which is going to fund their operations.
The show concluded with Richardson saying that the Company’s goal is to have a device in place anywhere where there are diabetic foot ulcer patients, which means between 4- to 5,000 locations in the U.S. If they’re treating one patient per day at between $2-300 per device, that means it’s around a $700 million opportunity. This is the bigger picture.
Richardson said the Company is driven to honor its commitments and deliver on them and that’s what they’ve done.
