Covalon Announces Third Quarter Financial Results

Covalon Technologies Ltd. (the "Company" or "Covalon") (TSXV:COV), an advanced medical technologies company, today announced financial results for its third quarter ended June 30, 2016.

Revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2016 was $2,600,002, operating expenses were $1,793,108 and net loss was $156,793 or $0.02 per share. For the nine months ended June 30, 2016, revenue was $5,838,384, operating expenses were $4594,223 and net loss was $956,087 or $0.07 per share.

Brian Pedlar, Covalon's President and CEO, stated “I am very pleased with our third quarter results. It clearly demonstrates the positive momentum Covalon has been building through its global marketing efforts.”

“Our hard work has resulted in the announcement after the end of the third quarter of two major contract awards in Saudi Arabia totalling a minimum guaranteed amount of $11 million and the selection by key reference hospitals of Covalon’s technologies over competitive products that are provided by some of the largest and most respected medical companies in the world,” continued Pedlar.

“We have focused heavily on building our success in the healthcare tender process in Saudi Arabia and in the key public, government and private healthcare facilities that set standards of care in the region,” continued Pedlar.

“I fully expect that our success in the healthcare tender process in Saudi Arabia will provide momentum for our efforts in the rest of the Middle East, the Americas, Asia and Europe. We are already seeing evidence of the positive impact our wins in Saudi Arabia are having on these markets,” continued Pedlar. “We have a very strong product portfolio that is helping us win business.”

“I am just as excited about some of the new products Covalon has in its development pipeline that will make us leaders in infection control. These products will transform the way hospitals and clinicians practice and dramatically reduce serious medical setbacks and deaths that too-often occur from surgical site and ventilator-associated infections,” stated Pedlar

“Fiscal 2017 will be a significant growth year for Covalon,” concluded Pedlar.

Management looks forward to updating shareholders on a conference call which is scheduled for:
