PAVmed Reports Second Quarter 2017 Financial Results

Conference call to be held August 17, 2017 at 4:30 p.m. Eastern time

PAVmed Inc. (Nasdaq: PAVM, PAVMW), a highly differentiated, multiproduct medical device company, today announced financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and provided a business update.

“During this past quarter and in recent weeks PAVmed has continued to grow stronger as a company, moving steadily towards major developmental, regulatory and commercialization milestones, while exploring all opportunities to enhance shareholder value,” said Lishan Aklog, M.D., PAVmed’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.

“We significantly strengthened our balance sheet raising $5.5 million in gross proceeds from seasoned and well-known healthcare investors,” Dr. Aklog noted. “These funds provide us with sufficient capital to reach our key milestones well into 2018.”

“Our development and commercialization strategy has been to focus our resources on three products in our pipeline with the greatest and nearest-term commercial opportunities – PortIO™, CarpX™ and DisappEAR™,” Dr. Aklog stated.

PortIO is PAVmed’s implantable intraosseous vascular access device which is designed to provide short or long-term access to the bone marrow cavity for the delivery of medications, fluids or other substances, eliminating many of the shortcomings of existing devices, especially in patients with poor veins. “PortIO was submitted to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for 510(k) clearance for short-term use and we continue to work with the FDA to demonstrate substantial equivalence to our selected predicate, with the de novo 510(k) pathway available to us as an alternative,” said Brian deGuzman, MD, PAVmed’s Chief Medical Officer. CarpX is PAVmed’s percutaneous device to treat carpal tunnel syndrome, which is designed to eliminate the need for invasive carpal surgery, performed in 600,000 patients annually, resulting in decreased costs, reduced pain, accelerated recovery and a lower the threshold for intervention. “CarpX is undergoing verification and validation testing and we are on schedule for FDA 510(k) submission by the end of this quarter,” Dr. deGuzman added. DisappEAR is PAVmed’s re-absorbable, antibiotic-eluting pediatric ear tube device which is designed to eliminate many of the shortcomings of currently available plastic ear tubes inserted in over one million children annually. The device utilizes a propriety aqueous silk technology licensed from Tufts University. “DisappEAR’s development is progressing well and on schedule as we target FDA submission in 2018,” Dr. deGuzman noted.

“These are exciting times for PAVmed,” Dr. Aklog concluded. “Our recent financings have put us in a sound capital position, our lead products are advancing towards important milestones and we remain nimble, creative and resourceful as opportunities to enhance shareholder value present themselves. We greatly appreciate the strong commitment of our long-term shareholders and remain laser-focused on enhancing the value of the company for the benefit of all of our shareholders.”

Non-GAAP Measures

To supplement our unaudited financial results presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, management provides certain non-GAAP financial measures of the Company's financial results. These non-GAAP financial measures include net loss before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) and non-GAAP Adjusted Loss, which further adjusts EBITDA for stock-based compensation expense, loss on the issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock Units, the change in fair value of the Series A Warrant liability and the change in fair value of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock conversion option embedded derivative liability. The foregoing non-GAAP financial measures of EBITDA and non-GAAP Adjusted Loss are not recognized terms under U.S. GAAP.

Non-GAAP financial measures are presented with the intent of providing greater transparency to information used by us in our financial performance analysis and operational decision-making. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful information to assist investors, shareholders and other readers of our unaudited financial statements in making comparisons to our historical financial results and analyzing the underlying performance of our results of operations. These non-GAAP financial measures are not intended to be, and should not be, a substitute for, considered superior to, considered separately from or as an alternative to, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

Non-GAAP financial measures are provided to enhance readers’ overall understanding of our current financial results and to provide further information for comparative purposes. Management believes the non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to management and investors by isolating certain expenses, gains and losses that may not be indicative of our core operating results and business outlook. Specifically, the non-GAAP financial measures include non-GAAP adjusted loss and its presentation is intended to help the reader understand the effect of the loss on the issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock Units and the corresponding derivative accounting for non-cash charges on financial performance. In addition, management believes non-GAAP financial measures enhance the comparability of results against prior periods.

A reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP measure of all non-GAAP financial measures included in this press release for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 is as follows:
