LYON, France, November 7, 2024 - EDAP TMS SA (Nasdaq: EDAP), the global leader in robotic energy-based therapies, reported today unaudited consolidated financial results for the third quarter of 2024.

"We continued to make steady progress in growing our core Focal One business in the third quarter of 2024," said Ryan Rhodes, Chief Executive Officer of EDAP TMS. "HIFU revenue grew 48.2% on a year-over-year basis, reflecting strong growth in the number of Focal One procedures. As we continue to expand our innovation with the Focal One platform, we are now partnering with Avenda Health to introduce AI technology directly into the Focal One robotic system. During the quarter, EDAP also had strong engagement through numerous interactions with urology leaders across multiple scientific meetings around the world.

"Our clinical programs in benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and endometriosis also continue to make important progress. We recently announced that the first patients were treated in our Phase I/II study evaluating Focal One Robotic HIFU for the treatment of BPH. We also continue to see positive results from the extension arm of our Phase 3 trial evaluating Focal One for the treatment of deep infiltrating endometriosis. We can now report that over 85% of the patients initially in the Sham treatment arm whose pelvic pain returned to their high baseline levels are now being treated with HIFU. We remain excited about this program as we continue to generate important clinical data that indicates robotic HIFU has significant potential to address this condition which impacts thousands of women each year.

"Similar to the second half of 2023, we have seen several engaged customers extend their purchasing decisions into the fourth quarter. We therefore expect to finish 2024 with a strong performance. I am pleased to note that we have already closed on our first Focal One system to an HCA hospital early in the fourth quarter, and our Focal One pipeline remains strong and growing as we prepare to enter 2025."

Business Update

  • On November 2, 2024, the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services, CMS, released the final payment rules for 2025. The HIFU procedure continues to be supported with favorable reimbursement with CMS finalizing a Medicare Hospital payment rate of $9,247 as a national average, adjusted locally with the corresponding local wage index factor. The rate will become effective on January 1, 2025, and represents a 5.4% increase over the 2024 payment. This continues to support the favorable strategic business case for hospitals to both invest and integrate Focal One HIFU while providing greater access to this valuable, non-invasive treatment option.

CMS also released the physician fee schedule for 2025 which continues to provide strong physician reimbursement for HIFU with 17.73 work relative value units, or work RVUs, and 29.41 Total RVUs. These figures are significantly higher than any other prostate ablation procedure. Additionally, it provides physicians with a level of reimbursement that is more than 80% of the payment for performing surgery, including Robotic Radical Prostatectomy. The Company believes that this continued support of the defined reimbursement levels for the use of HIFU provides a financially sound and sustainable economic offering for both the hospital and the physician.

  • On September 30, 2024, the Company appointed current Board Member, Lance Willsey, M.D., M.S. as Interim Chairman of the Board. Dr. Willsey is a trained urologist who has over 35 years of private and public board experience focused in the area of cancer diagnostics and therapeutics. He completed his surgical and urology training at the Massachusetts General Hospital and additional postgraduate training in the Steele Lab at Harvard University and the Dana Farber Cancer Institute. Dr. Willsey was first appointed to the EDAP Board of Directors in December 2023.
  • On September 19, 2024, the Company announced a collaboration to develop personalized prostate cancer care utilizing Avenda Health's groundbreaking AI technology, Unfold AI, to launch the world's first Focal One, AI-assisted robotic HIFU procedures. Unfold AI is a multimodal AI decision support platform cleared by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) that brings "superhuman" abilities to cancer surgeons and oncologists to power the future of cancer care. Unfold AI builds 3D patient-specific cancer maps that reveal invisible tumor extent and enables physicians to avoid leaving cancerous tissue behind while sparing healthy surrounding tissue. By leveraging Unfold AI's planning with the Focal One robotic HIFU platform, EDAP and Avenda believe that urologists can provide a more tailored, patient-specific HIFU ablation procedure for their prostate cancer patients.
  • On August 6, 2024, the Company announced that Focal One Robotic HIFU was featured at the 41st World Congress of Endourology and Uro-Technology (WCET 2024) meeting, which took place in Seoul, Korea, from August 12-16, 2024. The Company had a significant presence at WCET 2024, reflecting the increasing trend amongst urologists for utilizing non-invasive HIFU technology for the management of prostate cancer. In addition to providing hands-on Focal One simulations for urologists in attendance, this year's WCET meeting featured a moderated Focal One clinical procedure conducted by Dr. Tarik Benidir, Clinical Assistant Professor from the University of Florida.
  • On July 8, 2024, the Company announced the appointment of Fran Schulz to its Board of Directors. Ms. Schulz is a seasoned executive with over 35 years of experience with EY who has spent her career working with large public and emerging private companies throughout the life sciences industry. She has deep experience guiding companies to execute a broad range of corporate deals including collaboration agreements, corporate spin-offs, reorganizations, and mergers and acquisitions, with personal involvement in over 100 total equity and debt transactions, raising over $15 billion in aggregate.

Clinical Pipeline Update

Benign Prostate Hyperplasia (BPH) Program

  • On October 1, 2024, the Company announced that the first patients were treated in Phase I/II study evaluating Focal One Robotic HIFU for the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). The Phase I/II study is a company-sponsored, prospective, multicenter clinical trial designed as a two-part study. Part 1 of the Phase I/II study will take place at three leading academic prostate treatment centers in France with a recognized expertise in the treatment of BPH as well as in the use of Focal One HIFU technology. Part 1 is designed to define the optimal treatment parameters to effectively treat BPH and its related symptoms with minimal side effects. Part 2 of the study will expand patient enrollment across a larger number of treatment centers in order to validate the safety and efficacy of the parameters as defined in Part 1 of the study. In July, the Company received approval from the French National Agency for Medicines and Health Products Safety (ANSM) to initiate a Phase I/II clinical trial investigating Focal One Robotic HIFU in BPH.

Endometriosis Program

  • On July 19, 2024, the Company announced interim results from its Phase 3 study evaluating robotic HIFU for the treatment of deep infiltrating endometriosis. The interim data show that robotic HIFU therapy continues to maintain an excellent safety profile, confirming positive safety data from prior Phase 1 and 2 studies in patients with deep infiltrating endometriosis. At three months post procedure, the study's primary endpoint of reduced acute pelvic pain in the HIFU treatment arm compared to the Sham treatment arm was not met. Significant improvements were observed across primary and secondary outcome measures (endometriosis and digestive symptoms) across the entire study population at three months. As measured by MRI, patients receiving robotic HIFU therapy experienced higher volume reductions in the endometriosis nodule as compared to patients in the Sham treatment arm.

The Phase 3 study continues per protocol, and more than 85% of the patients initially in the Sham treatment arm have now elected to receive HIFU therapy after their pelvic pain returned to baseline levels. Symptoms for the Sham patients have returned back to their high baseline levels after one year post procedure. In contrast, patients from the HIFU arm who were evaluated one year following robotic HIFU treatment have maintained a similar level of improvement over their baseline symptoms as measured at three months post-procedure. These findings are consistent with the significant reduction in lesion volume as measured by MRI which was observed in the HIFU arm only. This additional data continues to suggest that HIFU therapy is a safe, non-invasive treatment that has significant potential to reduce pain for women suffering from this debilitating condition. Between now and year-end, the Company expects to meet with the FDA to discuss this data and the next steps forward for this program.
