Positive
  • Gross margin improved to 63% in Q3 2024 from 51% in Q2 2024
  • Secured $2.56 million PIPE investment from board members at 10% premium
  • Successfully amended convertible note terms, extending maturity to March 2026
  • Generated $0.9 million in scanner sales revenue
Negative
  • Revenue decreased to $1.0 million in Q3 2024 from $1.7 million in Q2 2024
  • Net loss increased to $3.6 million from $1.4 million year-over-year
  • Net cash used in operating activities increased to $1.9 million from $0.4 million year-over-year
  • Carrying significant debt with $8.6 million remaining on convertible note

Insights

The Q3 results reveal significant financial dynamics. $0.9M scanner sales revenue with a strong 65% gross margin shows improving operational efficiency, though revenue declined from $1.7M in Q2. The $3.6M net loss, including $1.5M in convertible note interest expenses, indicates ongoing profitability challenges.

The debt restructuring with YA II PN is notable, reducing principal to $8.6M and extending maturity to 2026. The $2.56M PIPE investment from board members at a 10% premium demonstrates internal confidence but also suggests external funding options. With $1.544M cash on hand and negative operating cash flow of $1.9M, liquidity remains tight despite recent financing moves.

The successful completion of engineering and clinical feasibility studies with their strategic partner marks a important milestone. The expansion to new clinical sites, including a nationally recognized center and functional medicine clinic, demonstrates market validation and growing clinical acceptance. The NIH/NCI grant renewal strengthens research credentials and potential for technology advancement.

However, the delayed orders for two scanners pushing to Q4 suggests potential market adoption challenges or sales cycle complexities. The rehiring of Dr. Malik as Chief Science Officer from Genentech/Roche adds valuable expertise but also indicates a need to strengthen the scientific leadership team for next-stage growth.

Generated Scanner Sales Revenue of $0.9 Million with 65% Gross Margin in the Third Quarter of 2024

The Company Successfully Completed the Engineering and Clinical Feasibility Study with its Strategic Partner

The Company Announced Entering into Favorable Amendments to Its $10 Million Convertible Promissory Note with YA II PN, Ltd.

The Company Announced Insiders PIPE investment of $2.56 Million, fully funded by the QTI Board of Directors members and their Affiliates

NOVATO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- QT Imaging Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: QTI) (“QT Imaging” or the “Company”), a medical device company engaged in research, development, and commercialization of innovative body imaging systems, today announced financial results for the third quarter of 2024.

“During this quarter, QT Imaging's team successfully completed the engineering and clinical feasibility study with our strategic partner and shipped two QT Breast Acoustic CT™ Scanners to a nationally recognized clinical site and to a functional medicine clinic in Illinois, together with our distribution partner, NXC Imaging. The third-year renewal of our five-year research grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH)/National Cancer Institute (NCI) was signed during the quarter,” said Dr. Raluca Dinu, QT Imaging Chief Executive Officer.

During this quarter, QT Imaging successfully amended the convertible note with YA II PN, Ltd after making a payment of approximately $1.5 million and adjusting the convertible floor price, thus reducing the principal balance of such convertible note to $8.6 million. Additionally, the maturity date of the convertible note was extended to March 31, 2026, and the monthly payment was reduced to $500,000 of principal and additional interest starting in February 2025.

Additionally, the Company announced today the entry into a securities purchase agreement to provide funding of a $2.56 million PIPE financing, solely executed by the Company's Board of Director members and their affiliates, providing about a 10% premium to the prior five-day average trading price of the Company’s shares. The purchase will also include the surrender of a $1.56 million promissory note for cancellation in its entirety, and $1 million in new cash proceeds to the Company.

“The QT Imaging team is grateful and proud of its Board of Directors’ trust and partnership. The proceeds are aimed solely at providing working capital for the Company as sufficient bridge funding, while it continues to pursue the agreements with its previously announced strategic partner, and it successfully executes on its commercialization growth plan.”

Financial Highlights

  • Commercial revenue was $1.0 million for the third quarter of 2024, of which $0.9 million is for scanner sales, compared to $1.7 million in the second quarter of 2024 and less than $0.1 million for the third quarter of 2023. The reduction in revenue compared to the second quarter is attributed to delayed orders for two QT Breast Acoustic CT™ scanners that will be shipped in the fourth quarter.
  • Gross margin of 63% in the third quarter of 2024, compared to 51% margin in the second quarter of 2024 and an insignificant margin in the third quarter of 2023. The increase in margin in the third quarter of 2024 compared to the second quarter of 2024 was attributable to variability in the weighted average cost related to the Company's existing inventory in the second quarter of 2024. The increase in margin in 2024 was due to the sale and delivery of two QT Breast Acoustic CT™ scanners during the third quarter of 2024, compared to no deliveries in the third quarter of 2023.
  • Net loss of $3.6 million for the third quarter of 2024, which includes convertible note interest expenses of $1.5 million, compared to a net loss of $1.4 million for the third quarter of 2023, and which included non-cash stock-based compensation expense of $0.2 million and one-time transaction-related expenses of $0.3 million.
  • Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA* of $(2.2) million for the third quarter of 2024 compared to $(0.6) million for the third quarter of 2023.
  • Net cash used in operating activities during the third quarter of 2024 was $1.9 million compared to $0.4 million during the third quarter of 2023. Net cash used in operating activities during the third quarter of 2024 includes a payment of $0.4 million to YA II PN, Ltd for interest and premium related to its convertible note.

New Developments

  • On July 24, 2024, the Company announced further expansion of locations offering the Breast Acoustic CT™ Scanner to Vitality Renewal Functional Medicine, in Crystal Lake, Illinois. The commercial shipment was made together with the Company's strategic business and distribution partner during the third quarter.
  • On September 25, 2024, the Company shipped its Breast Acoustic CT™ Scanner to a nationally recognized clinical center through its strategic business and distribution partner.
  • On September 11, 2024, a trigger event associated with the share price of the Company occurred under the terms of the $10 million convertible promissory note (the "Note") with YA II PN, Ltd (the "Investor"). As a result, the Company made a payment of $1.5 million on September 13, 2024, and could have been obligated to make subsequent similar monthly payments. On September 26, 2024 and October 31, 2024, the Company executed the first and second amendments to the Note, respectively, which together reduced the monthly trigger event payments to $500,000 per month beginning on February 15, 2025, extended the maturity date of the Note to March 31, 2026, and reduced the Floor Price under the Note from $0.8768 per share to $0.50 per share. On November 4, 2024, the Investor converted $254,593 of outstanding principal of the Note into 384,059 shares of Company's common stock with an applicable conversion price of $0.6629 per share. The principal balance of the Note was $8.6 million following the conversion notice received from the Investor.
  • On October 29, 2024, the Company announced its third year renewal of its five-year research grant from the National Institute of Health (NIH)/National Cancer Institute (NCI). The study is a collaboration with the Department of Radiation Oncology, the Radiation Treatment Program at the Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre in Toronto, Canada, the largest cancer center in Canada, and The University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering and Grainger College of Engineering.
  • On November 13, 2024, the Company and six members of its Board of Directors (or their affiliates) executed an agreement for Private Investment in Public Equity (the "PIPE") of $2.56 million in exchange for a total of 4,383,558 shares of the Company's common stock and 4,383,558 warrants to purchase common stock with an exercise price of $0.672 per share, with the closing of such PIPE to occur by November 29, 2024. The PIPE was done in a premium price of 10% to the last 5 days VWAP of the Company's stock, and the purchase price includes the surrender of a $1.56 million promissory note for cancellation in its entirety, and $1 million in new cash proceeds to the Company.

Leadership Updates:

  • On November 11, 2024, Bilal Malik, PhD, rejoined the Company as Chief Science Officer. For five years prior to joining the Company, Bilal held various positions in Genentech and Roche.

Outlook for the Balance of 2024

2024 is a transitional year as the Company stabilizes the business and focuses on commercialization anchored in strategic business partnerships. The Company plans to deliver its revenue at the same pace in the fourth quarter of 2024 as during the previous 2024 quarters, since it went public in March 2024, and with an expected higher gross margin due to the weighted average cost of existing inventory.

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Forward-looking statements generally are accompanied by words such as “believe,” “may,” “will,” “estimate,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “expect,” “should,” “would,” “plan,” “predict,” “potential,” “seem,” “seek,” “future,” “outlook,” and similar expressions that predict or indicate future events or trends or that are not statements of historical matters. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding the QT Imaging Breast Acoustic CT™ Scanner, including its commercialization, manufacturing (including large scale) and further development, the PIPE and its closing, the future payments under the Note, plans for QT Imaging, new product development and introduction, product sales growth and projected revenues, QT Imaging’s industry, future events, and other statements that are not historical facts. Forward-looking statements involve certain risks and uncertainties, and actual results may differ materially from those discussed in any such statement. These statements are based on various assumptions, whether or not identified herein, and on the current expectations of QT Imaging's management and are not predictions of actual performance. These forward-looking statements are provided for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to serve as, and must not be relied on by you or any other investor as, a guarantee, an assurance, a prediction or a definitive statement of fact or probability. Actual events and circumstances are difficult or impossible to predict and will differ from assumptions. Many actual events and circumstances are beyond our control. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including those relating to: the ability of the Company to sell and deploy the QT Imaging Breast Acoustic CT™ Scanner; the ability to extend product offerings into new areas or products; the ability to commercialize technology; unexpected occurrences that deter the full documentation and “bring to market” plan for products; trends and fluctuations in the industry; changes in demand and purchasing volume of customers; unpredictability of suppliers; the ability to attract and retain qualified personnel and the ability to move product sales to production levels; changes in domestic and foreign business, market, financial, political, and legal conditions; the uncertainty of projected financial information; delays caused by factors outside of our control; changes in our ability to successfully receive purchase orders and generate revenue under our existing contracts with partners and distributors; our ability to realize the benefits of the strategic partnerships; the identified material weakness in our internal controls over financial reporting (including the timeline to remediate the material weakness); the rollout of the business and the timing of expected business milestones; the effects of competition on our future business; our ability to obtain and access financing in the future; our ability to pay our debt obligations as they come due; and those factors discussed in the Company’s reports and other documents filed with the SEC, including under the heading “Risk Factors.” If any of these risks materialize or our assumptions prove incorrect, actual results could differ materially from the results implied by these forward-looking statements. There may be additional risks that QT Imaging presently does not know or that QT Imaging currently believes are immaterial which could also cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements. In addition, forward-looking statements reflect QT Imaging's expectations, plans or forecasts of future events and views as of the date of this release. QT Imaging anticipates that subsequent events and developments will cause QT Imaging's assessments to change. However, while QT Imaging may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point in the future, QT Imaging specifically disclaims any obligation to do so. Accordingly, undue reliance should not be placed upon the forward-looking statements.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The financial information and data contained in this press release is unaudited. Some of the financial information and data contained in this press release, such as EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, have not been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). To supplement our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP in our press release, we also report certain non-GAAP financial measures. A “non-GAAP financial measure” refers to a numerical measure of a company’s historical or future financial performance, financial position, or cash flows that excludes (or includes) amounts that are included in (or excluded from) the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP in such company’s financial statements. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the relevant GAAP measures and should be read in conjunction with information presented on a GAAP basis. Because not all companies use identical calculations, our presentation of non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.

The presentation of these financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered measures of QT Imaging's liquidity. Investors are cautioned that there are material limitations associated with the use of non-GAAP financial measures as an analytical tool. In particular, many of the adjustments to our GAAP financial measures reflect the exclusion of certain items, as defined in our non-GAAP definitions below, which are recurring and will be reflected in our financial results for the foreseeable future. In addition, these measures may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies, even where similarly titled, limiting their usefulness for comparison purposes and therefore should not be used to compare QT Imaging’s performance to that of other companies. We endeavor to compensate for the limitation of the non-GAAP financial measures presented by also providing the most directly comparable GAAP measures and descriptions of the reconciling items and adjustments to derive the non-GAAP financial measures.

We believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide investors and analysts with useful supplemental information about the financial performance of our business, enable comparison of financial results between periods where certain items may vary independent of business performance, and allow for greater transparency with respect to key measures used by management to operate and analyze our business over different periods of time.

EBITDA is defined as loss before interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA further adjusted for stock-based compensation, net change in fair value of the derivative, earnout and warrant liabilities, and transaction expenses. Similar excluded expenses may be incurred in future periods when calculating these measures. QT Imaging believes these non-GAAP measures of financial results provide useful information to management and investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. QT Imaging believes that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating projected operating results and trends and in comparing QT Imaging’s financial measures with other similar companies, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors.

Management does not consider these non-GAAP measures in isolation or as an alternative to financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. The principal limitation of these non-GAAP financial measures is that they exclude significant expenses and income that are required by GAAP to be recorded in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. In addition, they are subject to inherent limitations as they reflect the exercise of judgment by management about which expense and income items are excluded or included in determining these non-GAAP financial measures.

Management uses EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as a non-GAAP performance measure which is defined in the accompanying tables and is reconciled to net loss, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, in the tables above. The Company does not reconcile forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure (or otherwise describe such forward-looking GAAP measure) because it is not able to forecast the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP without unreasonable effort. Certain elements of the composition of the GAAP amounts are not predictable, making it impracticable for the Company to forecast. As a result, no guidance for the Company’s net income (loss) or reconciliation of the Company’s Adjusted EBITDA guidance is provided. For the same reasons, the Company is unable to assess the probable significance of the unavailable information, which could have a potentially significant impact on its future net income (loss).

We present reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures in the tables above.
