Sales Funnel Increases 9% and System Trials Increases 5% Month Over Month
First Quarter Revenue of $3.2 Million an Increase of 100% Year Over Year
SUWANEE, GA, May 18, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via NewMediaWire – On May 17, 2022, SANUWAVE Health, Inc. (OTC:PINK: SNWV), a leading provider of next-generation wound care products, announced they successfully filed their 10-K for 2021 and provided an update on April Sales Funnel and System Trials. The company also filed an NT10Q for their first quarter filing. In the NT10Q they released preliminary revenue for the first quarter of 2022. This release provides further color on that SEC filing.
Both the Sales Funnel, defined as opportunities the direct sales team is pursuing to close in the next six months, and System Trials, defined as single 60-day assessments underway for evaluating purchase, have seen prominent funnel increases for the month of April. During April, the sales funnel increased 9% to $19.9 million, while system trials increased 5%, bringing the total to 101.
These increases provide excellent visibility on the progression of revenue for the second quarter and will be monitored closely as the sales team attempts to convert evaluations to closed deals. SANUWAVE notes that they do expect volatility in these numbers throughout the year but are committed to sharing the data monthly throughout 2022.
First quarter revenue will be approximately $3.2 million up from $2.1 million in 2021, an increase of 50%. In 2021, SANUWAVE had $500,000 in sales of biologics, a product line no longer carried by the company, which means 2022 sales were solely based on the company’s ENERGY FIRST device line. On a more comparative basis of the same products revenue growth was 100% year over year. The growth was driven by the resurgence of the UltraMIST product line along with an increase of single use applicator sales.
“As a company, we are excited to see there is a steady increase in demand for our energy products within the Wound Care market and now these coinciding verticals,” stated Mr. Kevin Richardson, CEO & Chairman of the Board. “We look forward to embracing new opportunities and potential partnerships as we continue to grow.”
