Financial results for three months ended December 31, 2021

For the three months ended December 31, 2021, the Company reported revenue of $1.3 million, compared to none for the three-month period ended December 31, 2020. During the three months ended December 31, 2021, the Company generated revenues through the sales of radiology services and the sales of AI solutions. The Company’s gross loss during the three months ended December 31, 2021, totaled $1.5 million. Our revenue stemmed from the merger with NANO-X AI Ltd. (“Nanox.AI”) and the acquisitions of USARAD Holdings, Inc. (“USARAD”) and the assets of MDWEB, LLC (“MDWEB”). The Company’s revenue from radiology services for the three months ended December 31, 2021 were $1.0 million with a gross profit of $0.0 million. Our revenue from our AI solutions for the three months ended December 31, 2021 were $0.3 million with a gross loss of $1.5 million. Non-GAAP cost of revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2021 were $1.1 million, as compared to none for the three months ended December 31, 2020, resulting with a non-GAAP gross profit of $0.2 million. The Company’s non-GAAP gross profit from radiology services for the three months ended December 31, 2021 was $0.4 million, which represents a gross profit margin of 40% on a non-GAAP basis. The Company’s non-GAAP gross loss from our AI solutions for the three months ended December 31, 2021 was $0.2 million.

For the three months ended December 31, 2021, the Company reported a net loss of $22.0 million, compared to a net loss of $19.0 million for the three-month period ended December 31, 2020, largely due to expenses related to the merger with Nanox.AI and the acquisitions of USARAD, and the assets of MDWEB, an increase in our research and development expenses and an increase in our general and administrative expenses, which was mitigated by a decrease in our sales and marketing expenses.

Research and development expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2021 were $6.4 million, as compared to $3.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2020. The increase was mainly due to an increase of $1.7 million due to the merger with Nanox.AIand the balance due to the multi-source Nanox.ARC and the Nanox.Cloud, including increased R&D headcount, costs related to the ongoing regulatory approval process and share-based compensation.

Sales and marketing expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2021 were $1.9 million, as compared to $8.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2020. The decrease was mainly due to a decrease of approximately of $5.8 million in share-based compensation.

General and administrative expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2021 were $10.9 million, as compared to $8.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2020. The increase of $2.8 million was mainly due to an increase of $0.8 million due to the merger with Nanox.AI and the acquisitions of USARAD and the assets of MDWEB, an increase of $0.2 million due to an increase in our head count in connection with the expansion of the Company’s management team and the overall organization infrastructure, an increase of approximately $0.4 million in our legal fees due to the SEC inquiry and class-action litigation as described in our Form 6-K filed on November 17, 2021 and transaction expenses in connection with the merger with Nanox.AI and the acquisitions of USARAD and the assets of MDWEB.

Non-GAAP net loss applicable to ordinary shares for the three months ended December 31, 2021 was $15.0 million, as compared to $8.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2020, primarily due to expenses resulting from the merger with Nanox.AI and the acquisitions of USARAD and the assets of MDWEB, an increase in our research and development expenses and our general and administrative expenses. Non- GAAP cost of revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2021 were $1.1 million, as compared to none for the three months ended December 31, 2020. Non-GAAP research and development expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2021 were $5.4 million, as compared to $2.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2020. Non-GAAP marketing expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2021 were $1.4 million, as compared to $1.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2020. Non-GAAP general and administrative expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2021 were $7.2 million, as compared to $4.8 million for the three months ended December 31, 2020.

A reconciliation between GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures for the three-month periods and the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 is provided in the financial results that are part of this press release. The difference between the GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures above is mainly attributable to amortization intangible assets, share-based compensation, secondary offering expenses and legal fees in connection with class-action litigation and the SEC inquiry.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of December 31, 2021, the Company had $88.7 million of cash, cash equivalents and short-term marketable securities and $67.8 million of long-term marketable securities. As of December 31, 2021, the Company had total current assets of $94.9 million and total current liabilities of $52.8 million creating a working capital of $42.1 million.

As of December 31, 2020, the Company had $213.5 million of cash and cash equivalents. As of December 31, 2020, the Company had total current assets of $219.8 million and total current liabilities of $4.5 million creating a working capital of $215.3 million. The decrease in our working capital was mainly attributable to the decrease in cash and short-term marketable securities in the amount of $124.8 million and reclassification of an amount of $67.8 million to long-term marketable securities.

During the fourth quarter of 2021, we issued 3,249,142 shares of common stock due to the merger with Nanox.AI, 496,545 shares of common stock due to acquisition of USARAD and 64,715 shares of common stock due to acquisition of the assets of MDWEB. We also issued 76,787 shares of common stock due to exercise of warrants and 26,534 shares of common stock due to exercise of options. We generated approximately $0.2 million in gross proceeds from the exercise of options and warrants.

Other Assets

The Company ended the year with property and equipment, net of $37.4 million. The increase of $23.4 million as of December 31, 2021 from December 31, 2020 is mainly attributed to the completion of the construction of our FAB in South Korea.

As of December 31, 2021, the Company had intangible assets of $160.1 million as opposed to none as of December 31, 2020. The increase is attributable to the merger with Nanox.AI and the acquisitions of USARAD and the assets of MDWEB. The amount and the allocation of the purchase price to net assets and the liability of the acquired businesses are preliminary and are based on management’s estimates and assumptions and may be subject to change as additional information is received. We expect to finalize the valuation as soon as practicable, but not later than one year from the acquisition dates.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release includes information about certain financial measures that are not prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), including non-GAAP net loss attributable to ordinary shares, non-GAAP cost of revenue, non-GAAP research and development expenses, non-GAAP marketing expenses and non-GAAP general and administrative expenses. These non-GAAP measures are not based on any standardized methodology prescribed by GAAP and are not necessarily comparable to similar measures presented by other companies.

Non-GAAP net loss attributable to ordinary shares, non-GAAP cost of revenue, non-GAAP research and development expenses, non-GAAP marketing expenses and non-GAAP general and administrative expenses each adjusts for amortization of intangible assets, stock-based compensation expenses, secondary offering expenses and legal fees in connection with class-action litigation and the SEC inquiry.

The Company’s management and board of directors utilize these non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate the Company’s performance. The Company provides these non-GAAP measures of the Company’s performance to investors because management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures, when viewed with the Company’s results under GAAP and the accompanying reconciliations, are useful in identifying underlying trends in ongoing operations. However, non-GAAP net loss attributable to ordinary shares, non-GAAP cost of revenue, non-GAAP research and development expenses, non-GAAP marketing expenses and non-GAAP general and administrative expenses are not measures of financial performance under GAAP and, accordingly, should not be considered as alternatives to GAAP measures as indicators of operating performance. Further, non-GAAP net loss attributable to ordinary shares, non-GAAP cost of revenue, non-GAAP research and development expenses, non-GAAP marketing expenses and non-GAAP general and administrative expenses should not be considered measures of the Company’s liquidity.

A reconciliation of certain GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures has been provided in the tables included in this press release.
