NEVE ILAN, Israel, Nov. 09, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- NANO-X IMAGING LTD (NASDAQ: NNOX) (“ Nanox ” or the “ Company ”), an innovative medical imaging technology company, today announced results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2020, and provided a business update.

“We are pleased to have completed a very successful initial public offering in August which provides us with the capital to help achieve our vision to increase early detection of medical conditions that are discoverable by X-ray,” stated Ran Poliakine, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Nanox. “With our proprietary, next-generation digital X-ray technology, we are developing an imaging system – the Nanox.ARC – that is substantially less expensive then legacy X-ray machines, allowing us to target the roughly 2/3 of the world’s population who currently have no, or limited access, to imaging and decrease wait times for the remaining 1/3. This is a significant missed opportunity since imaging can lead to early detection of serious and chronic diseases, resulting in improved outcomes for patients and cost savings for payers.

“We exited the third quarter with accelerating momentum having signed an agreement in September 2020 with SPI Medical for the deployment of 630 Nanox.ARC units across Mexico and Guatemala. Together with previously signed agreements, we currently have contracts with nine service providers to deploy 5,150 Nanox.ARC units across 13 countries, and strategic collaborations aiming to deploy an additional 5,500 units in the US, Korea and Vietnam, each subject to regulatory approvals. We anticipate these agreements with service providers and collaborations indicate important progress toward achieving our goal of deploying 15,000 systems by the end of 2024. We believe this speaks to a global unmet need that we are addressing with our Nanox.ARC system.

“We look forward to demonstrating our digital X-Ray technology in a range of 2D and 3D medical imaging procedures at this year’s virtual Radiology Society of North America (RSNA) 2020 meeting later this month, and intend to make these materials available to our investors and global stakeholders so they can join and witness our technology.” Mr. Poliakine concluded.

Third quarter 2020 and recent highlights:

• Completed a successful initial public offering of ordinary shares, raising gross proceeds of approximately $190 million
• Announced an upcoming live demonstration of the Nanox.ARC at Radiology Society of North America (RSNA) 2020, which is being held virtually from November 29 to December 5, 2020. The Company will feature Nanox’s first commercial-grade digital X-ray source followed by a live demonstration of the Nanox.ARC in a range of 2D and 3D medical imaging procedures
• Signed agreement with Ambra Health, a leading medical data and image management cloud software company, to facilitate the transfer of medical images between U.S. hospitals and medical imaging providers
• Further advanced the Company’s 510(k) application for its single-source version of the Nanox.ARC
• Signed an agreement with SPI Mexico for the deployment of 630 Nanox.ARC units across Mexico and Guatemala. The agreement includes a minimum annual service fee of $17 million payable to Nanox once all systems are deployed and upon obtaining the necessary regulatory approvals and additional contractual terms
• Appointed SK Telecom CEO Mr. Jung-ho Park to its Board of Directors
• Appointed Gilad Yron to the newly created position of Chief Business Officer. Mr. Yron is responsible for executing the Company’s existing Medical Screening as a Service (MSaaS) agreements while also refining the Company’s commercial strategy and overseeing customer-facing activities

These non-GAAP measures are not based on any standardized methodology prescribed by GAAP and are not necessarily comparable to similar measures presented by other companies.
