LA JOLLA, Calif., July 12, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- MyDx, Inc. (OTCQB:MYDX), a rapidly growing chemical detection company, today announced that it expects to exceed its previously reported revenue guidance for its second quarter ending June 30, 2016. The revenue growth is being driven by the Company’s recent introduction of its patented MyDxTM (My Diagnostic) product line, the first battery operated, handheld, chemical analyzer for consumers.
The Company expects to report that revenues increased to approximately $282,000 for its second quarter ended June 30, 2016, which represents a sequential increase of over 75% compared to the $161,000 it posted for its first quarter ended March 31, 2016. The Company previously provided revenue goals of approximately $225,000 during the LD Micro Investor Conference held on June 8, 2016. The sharp increase in revenues reflects new orders from the Company’s first national distributor, increased international orders as well as online consumer orders through the Company’s website as the CannaDxTM application continues to gain traction globally through news media, social media and word-of-mouth.
“Although we are very excited to be able to exceed our internal revenue goals for the quarter, we believe this is only the beginning of a revenue ramp-up period the Company has been diligently preparing for since the launch of the MyDxTM analyzer last fall,” said Daniel R. Yazbeck, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of MyDx, Inc. “Top line revenue growth and unit sales are both trending higher and the new applications we are about to launch: OrganaDxTM, AquaDxTM and AeroDxTM, which will come in the form of new sensors compatible with the existing MyDxTM analyzer, can only serve to enhance the core value of the product. For the first time in history, consumers will have the ability to use an affordable handheld device to test for the presence of toxic chemicals (including pesticides and heavy metals) in their fruits and vegetables, drinking water and medicinal cannabis samples,” continued Mr. Yazbeck.
The increase in revenues coupled with an ongoing decrease in its operating expenses should enable the Company to achieve profitability by the fourth quarter of 2016 as previously forecasted. That said, the Company still expects to report a net loss for the second quarter.
Company Continues to Strengthen Its Balance Sheet
The Company is continuing to strengthen its balance sheet by redeeming or extending its outstanding convertible debentures. On June 8th 2016, the Company redeemed a note from Kodiak Capital LLC and negotiations are underway for the redemption of all of the Company’s convertible debt. The Company has also cancelled its $1 million Kodiak Capital Equity Purchase Agreement signed earlier this year.
“We sincerely appreciate the support of our investors and lenders to date. Our outlook remains positive for the year given the many developments already achieved and in our pipeline. We are very proud and look forward to celebrating the completion of our mission to help the everyday consumer Trust and VerifyTM the chemical composition of everything they eat, drink, and inhale with the release of our OrganaDxTM, AquaDxTM, and AeroDxTM applications in the second half of 2016, well in advance of our original projected launch dates,” concluded Mr. Yazbeck.
