ENGLEWOOD, Colo., Jan. 18, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Zynex, Inc. (NASDAQ: ZYXI), an innovative medical technology company specializing in the manufacture and sale of non-invasive medical devices for pain management, rehabilitation and patient monitoring, today announced order growth and an increased Adjusted EBITDA estimate for Q4 2021.

"Our order growth in Q4 remained strong at 18% year over year and 89% for the full year of 2021," said Thomas Sandgaard, CEO of Zynex. "We significantly trimmed our sales force during the second half of 2021 and focused on improving productivity while new sales rep hiring slowed due to the difficulties in the current job market. The net result is our sales force is growing at a slower rate but new sales reps are already significantly more productive in their first few months with the company. We are pleased with our continued revenue growth and the related profitability as we continue to leverage the sales investments we've made over the last couple years. Our fourth quarter Adjusted EBITDA is by far the largest in company history and increased approximately 280% year over year and 40% sequentially compared to the third quarter of 2021. As our reps continue to get more efficient, our profitability will remain strong."

Zynex is confirming its previous revenue estimate for the fourth quarter of 2021 of between $40.0 and $43.0 million. In addition, fourth quarter 2021 Adjusted EBITDA is now expected to come in between $12.5 and $13.5 million compared to the previous estimate of $9.0 to $10.0 million.

The Company's full year 2021 revenue estimate is currently between $130.0 and $133.0 million. The revenue estimate is approximately 62% to 66% above last year's full year revenue of $80.1 million. The 2021 full year estimated Adjusted EBITDA has been updated to be between $26.2 to $27.2 million. The Adjusted EBITDA estimate is approximately 92% to 99% above 2020's full year Adjusted EBITDA of $13.7 million.

The Company will provide 2022 full year revenue and Adjusted EBITDA estimates with its Q4 2021 earnings release in late February.

Zynex's prescription-strength NexWave device is a healthy alternative to prescribing opioids as the first line of defense when treating pain. In addition, in its Monitoring Solutions division, the Company completed its acquisition of Kestrel Labs late in 2021, adding a line of laser-based pulse oximetry products which will outdate the older, LED based technology currently available on the market.
