ROSELAND, N.J., Jan. 06, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Milestone Scientific Inc. (NYSE American:MLSS), a leading developer of computerized drug delivery instruments that provides virtually painless and precise injections, today raised revenue guidance to over $2 million for the fourth quarter of 2020, a 67% sequential increase over $1.2 million reported for the third quarter of 2020.
Arjan Haverhals, President of Milestone Scientific and CEO of Wand Dental Inc., stated, “I am pleased to report we are increasing our revenue guidance to over $2 million for the fourth quarter of 2020, which compares favorably to the $1.2 million we reported for the third quarter of 2020, and our prior guidance of $1.7 million, which we had previously forecast for the fourth quarter of 2020. We attribute this strong performance to the improvement in our dental business, which has continued to recover as dental offices reopen across the country and around the world. Notably, this guidance does not include recent sales to our Chinese distributor of approximately $450,000, which we will only record as revenue when the inventory is resold by our distributor. In addition to our revenue growth, we are seeing improvement in our cash flow. Given our strong cash position at the end of the third quarter, we are well funded to support our growth initiatives within the medical division and have no plans to raise capital for the foreseeable future.”
“At the same time, I am pleased to report we are gaining traction with our CompuFlo® Epidural System. Specifically, we recently announced we have begun selling CompuFlo® disposables to the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston (UTMB), an institution of the University of Texas System and agency of the State of Texas. We anticipate adding additional hospitals during the first quarter of 2021 and remain steadfast in our goal of establishing the CompuFlo Epidural System as the new standard of care in epidural anesthesia.”
