ROSELAND, N.J., Jan. 10, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Milestone Scientific Inc. (NYSE:MLSS), a leading developer of computerized drug delivery instruments, that provide virtually painless and precise injections, today provided revenue guidance for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2021. The Company anticipates revenue of over $2.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2021 compared to $2.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2020 and revenue in excess of $10 million for the fiscal year 2021 compared to revenue of $5.4 million for fiscal 2020.
Arjan Haverhals, CEO and president of Milestone Scientific, stated, “We continue to gain traction in both our dental and medical divisions. Specifically, we anticipate revenue for the full year will increase more than 85% to over $10 million. This growth is due in part to the success of our sales and marketing initiatives within the dental division, as well as the addition of new distributors. We are also gaining momentum within our medical division, reflecting the early success of our commercial initiatives as we begin to penetrate large hospitals, healthcare systems and pain management clinics with our CompuFlo® Epidural and CathCheck™ Verification System. We expect this momentum to continue in 2022 as we gain recognition in the marketplace due to the enhanced safety and efficacy of our instruments, as well as the economic benefit for the institutions. With over $5 billion spent annually on epidural analgesia in the U.S. alone, we believe there is a substantial market opportunity given the inherent risks of traditional epidural procedures. Given our solid balance sheet and sales pipeline, we remain encouraged regarding our business in 2022 and therefore have neither needs nor plans to raise capital for the foreseeable future.”
