Conference Call/Webcast Today at 5 pm ET

TORONTO and DALLAS, Nov. 14, 2024 /PRNewswire/ – Perimeter Medical Imaging AI, Inc. PINK PYNKF (“Perimeter” or the “Company”), a commercial-stage medical technology company, today reported financial results for its third quarter ended September 30, 2024 and provided a corporate update.

Business Highlights

The Company continues to gain positive commercial market traction with its first U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”)-cleared product, Perimeter S-Series OCT. It has already achieved eight (8) new S-Series OCT system placements year-to-date, compared to a total of three (3) for all of 2023, and Q3-2024 revenues grew 142% over Q3-2023. In addition, the Company is advancing the development of its next-generation Perimeter B-Series OCT system, which combines proprietary AI technology with OCT, toward potential commercialization.
In the 2024 third quarter, Perimeter also recognized revenue for the first time from its sale of service contracts. The Company has entered into three (3)-year Equipment Service Plan (“ESP”) warranty programs with several S-Series OCT customers, which provide for annual preventative maintenance of the OCT equipment. The total value of ESP warranty programs will be recognized over their terms as services are rendered.
In September 2024, Perimeter announced the first closing of its non-brokered private placement (the “Offering”) where the Company issued 23,470,560 common shares for gross proceeds of approximately $9,857,635 Canadian dollars. Subsequent to the end of the third quarter, Perimeter announced the second and final closing of the Offering where the company issued 4,846,501 common shares at a price of $0.42 per common share, for gross proceeds of $2,035,530. In total, the Company has issued 28,317,061 common shares for aggregate gross proceeds of $11,893,166 under the Offering.
In October 2024, Perimeter announced the completion of patient enrollment in the ongoing pivotal clinical trial evaluating the use of its next-generation B-Series OCT system, which combines proprietary artificial intelligence (“AI”) technology with optical coherence tomography (“OCT”), during breast-conserving surgeries. If successful, the trial is expected to support the Company’s submission to the FDA for authorization to market the Perimeter B-Series OCT in the United States.

“We are very much looking forward to sharing the primary endpoint results of the pivotal clinical trial evaluating our proprietary B-Series OCT with ImgAssist AI in breast-conserving surgeries,” commented Adrian Mendes, Perimeter’s Chief Executive Officer. “We anticipate announcing the top-line results shortly. Accordingly, this evening’s investor conference call comes at an opportune time as we frame the importance of this key potential inflection point for the growth of our business.”

Third Quarter 2024 Financial Results

Unless specified otherwise, all amounts in this press release are expressed in U.S. dollars and are presented in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

The Company reported third quarter 2024 revenues of approximately $208,000, which consisted of the sale of consumables and system leases, as well as from the sale of ESP warranty programs. Third quarter 2024 revenues increased 142% over Q3-2023. Revenue growth was driven by continued commercial adoption of Perimeter S-Series OCT, both in terms of existing system utilization and installed base growth.

Operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2024 were approximately $4.5 million, essentially unchanged from the same period in 2023.

Third quarter 2024 net loss was approximately $4.6 million, or $0.07 per common share, compared to a net loss of approximately $345,000, or $0.01 per common share, in the three months ended September 30, 2023. The increase in net loss was primarily the result of a change in two non-cash expenses: net finance expense resulting from the revaluation of the warrant liability and net foreign exchange loss.

Cash used in operating activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2024, was approximately $11.6 million, compared to approximately $10.6 million in the comparable period in 2023.

As of September 30, 2024, cash and cash equivalents were approximately $9.5 million. This amount does not include any of the of the approximately $1.5 million (C$2.0 million) in gross proceeds from the second and final closing of the Offering, nor a Cancer Prevention and Research Institute of Texas (CPRIT) grant receivable of approximately $1.9 million, which is related to the reimbursement of pivotal clinical trial project costs, as of the end of the 2024 third quarter.
