Generated Scanner Sales Revenue of $0.9 Million
with 65% Gross Margin in the Third Quarter of 2024
The Company Successfully Completed the
Engineering and Clinical Feasibility Study with its Strategic
Partner
The Company Announced Entering into Favorable
Amendments to Its $10 Million Convertible Promissory Note with YA
II PN, Ltd.
The Company Announced Insiders PIPE investment
of $2.56 Million, fully funded by the QTI Board of Directors
members and their Affiliates
QT Imaging Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: QTI) (“QT Imaging” or
the “Company”), a medical device company engaged in
research, development, and commercialization of innovative body
imaging systems, today announced financial results for the third
quarter of 2024.
“During this quarter, QT Imaging's team successfully completed
the engineering and clinical feasibility study with our strategic
partner and shipped two QT Breast Acoustic CT™ Scanners to a
nationally recognized clinical site and to a functional medicine
clinic in Illinois, together with our distribution partner, NXC
Imaging. The third-year renewal of our five-year research grant
from the National Institutes of Health (NIH)/National Cancer
Institute (NCI) was signed during the quarter,” said Dr. Raluca
Dinu, QT Imaging Chief Executive Officer.
During this quarter, QT Imaging successfully amended the
convertible note with YA II PN, Ltd after making a payment of
approximately $1.5 million and adjusting the convertible floor
price, thus reducing the principal balance of such convertible note
to $8.6 million. Additionally, the maturity date of the convertible
note was extended to March 31, 2026, and the monthly payment was
reduced to $500,000 of principal and additional interest starting
in February 2025.
Additionally, the Company announced today the entry into a
securities purchase agreement to provide funding of a $2.56 million
PIPE financing, solely executed by the Company's Board of Director
members and their affiliates, providing about a 10% premium to the
prior five-day average trading price of the Company’s shares. The
purchase will also include the surrender of a $1.56 million
promissory note for cancellation in its entirety, and $1 million in
new cash proceeds to the Company.
“The QT Imaging team is grateful and proud of its Board of
Directors’ trust and partnership. The proceeds are aimed solely at
providing working capital for the Company as sufficient bridge
funding, while it continues to pursue the agreements with its
previously announced strategic partner, and it successfully
executes on its commercialization growth plan.”
Financial Highlights
- Commercial revenue was $1.0 million for the third quarter of
2024, of which $0.9 million is for scanner sales, compared to $1.7
million in the second quarter of 2024 and less than $0.1 million
for the third quarter of 2023. The reduction in revenue compared to
the second quarter is attributed to delayed orders for two QT
Breast Acoustic CT™ scanners that will be shipped in the fourth
quarter.
- Gross margin of 63% in the third quarter of 2024, compared to
51% margin in the second quarter of 2024 and an insignificant
margin in the third quarter of 2023. The increase in margin in the
third quarter of 2024 compared to the second quarter of 2024 was
attributable to variability in the weighted average cost related to
the Company's existing inventory in the second quarter of 2024. The
increase in margin in 2024 was due to the sale and delivery of two
QT Breast Acoustic CT™ scanners during the third quarter of 2024,
compared to no deliveries in the third quarter of 2023.
- Net loss of $3.6 million for the third quarter of 2024, which
includes convertible note interest expenses of $1.5 million,
compared to a net loss of $1.4 million for the third quarter of
2023, and which included non-cash stock-based compensation expense
of $0.2 million and one-time transaction-related expenses of $0.3
million.
- Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA* of $(2.2) million for the third
quarter of 2024 compared to $(0.6) million for the third quarter of
2023.
- Net cash used in operating activities during the third quarter
of 2024 was $1.9 million compared to $0.4 million during the third
quarter of 2023. Net cash used in operating activities during the
third quarter of 2024 includes a payment of $0.4 million to YA II
PN, Ltd for interest and premium related to its convertible
note.
New Developments
- On July 24, 2024, the Company announced further expansion of
locations offering the Breast Acoustic CT™ Scanner to Vitality
Renewal Functional Medicine, in Crystal Lake, Illinois. The
commercial shipment was made together with the Company's strategic
business and distribution partner during the third quarter.
- On September 25, 2024, the Company shipped its Breast Acoustic
CT™ Scanner to a nationally recognized clinical center through its
strategic business and distribution partner.
- On September 11, 2024, a trigger event associated with the
share price of the Company occurred under the terms of the $10
million convertible promissory note (the "Note") with YA II PN, Ltd
(the "Investor"). As a result, the Company made a payment of $1.5
million on September 13, 2024, and could have been obligated to
make subsequent similar monthly payments. On September 26, 2024 and
October 31, 2024, the Company executed the first and second
amendments to the Note, respectively, which together reduced the
monthly trigger event payments to $500,000 per month beginning on
February 15, 2025, extended the maturity date of the Note to March
31, 2026, and reduced the Floor Price under the Note from $0.8768
per share to $0.50 per share. On November 4, 2024, the Investor
converted $254,593 of outstanding principal of the Note into
384,059 shares of Company's common stock with an applicable
conversion price of $0.6629 per share. The principal balance of the
Note was $8.6 million following the conversion notice received from
the Investor.
- On October 29, 2024, the Company announced its third year
renewal of its five-year research grant from the National Institute
of Health (NIH)/National Cancer Institute (NCI). The study is a
collaboration with the Department of Radiation Oncology, the
Radiation Treatment Program at the Sunnybrook Health Sciences
Centre in Toronto, Canada, the largest cancer center in Canada, and
The University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, Department of
Electrical and Computer Engineering and Grainger College of
Engineering.
- On November 13, 2024, the Company and six members of its Board
of Directors (or their affiliates) executed an agreement for
Private Investment in Public Equity (the "PIPE") of $2.56 million
in exchange for a total of 4,383,558 shares of the Company's common
stock and 4,383,558 warrants to purchase common stock with an
exercise price of $0.672 per share, with the closing of such PIPE
to occur by November 29, 2024. The PIPE was done in a premium price
of 10% to the last 5 days VWAP of the Company's stock, and the
purchase price includes the surrender of a $1.56 million promissory
note for cancellation in its entirety, and $1 million in new cash
proceeds to the Company.
Leadership Updates:
- On November 11, 2024, Bilal Malik, PhD, rejoined the Company as
Chief Science Officer. For five years prior to joining the Company,
Bilal held various positions in Genentech and Roche.
Outlook for the Balance of
2024
2024 is a transitional year as the Company stabilizes the
business and focuses on commercialization anchored in strategic
business partnerships. The Company plans to deliver its revenue at
the same pace in the fourth quarter of 2024 as during the previous
2024 quarters, since it went public in March 2024, and with an
expected higher gross margin due to the weighted average cost of
existing inventory.

(1)
The decrease in fair value of warrant
liability during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024
relates to the liability classified private placement warrants to
reflect the decrease of the publicly traded price per warrant.
Additional expense related to the modification of these warrants
was recorded as other expense in the condensed consolidated
statements of operations and comprehensive loss during the nine
months ended September 30, 2024.
(2)
The decrease in fair value of derivative
liability during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024
related to the Yorkville Pre-paid Advance, which contained features
that were bifurcated as freestanding financial instruments and
initially valued on March 4, 2024 upon consummation of the Merger.
The derivative liability was subsequently revalued as of September
30, 2024 for financial reporting purposes. The change in derivative
liability was recorded as other income (expense), net in the
condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive
loss during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024,
respectively.
(3)
The earnout liability relates to the
contingent consideration for the Merger Earnout Consideration
Shares pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement dated
December 8, 2022, as amended in September 2023. The earnout
liability was initially valued using the Monte Carlo Simulation
method on March 4, 2024 and subsequently revalued using the same
method as of September 30, 2024. The net change in fair value of
the earnout liability was recognized as other income (expense), net
in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and
comprehensive loss during the three and nine months ended September
30, 2024, respectively.
(4)
The Company incurred transaction expenses
related to the Merger with GigCapital5, Inc., which closed on March
4, 2024. These transaction expenses included a $3.7 million of
transaction costs that were settled with the issuance of common
stock, $0.4 million of transaction costs settled or payable in cash
and a $0.2 million loss on issuance of common stock in connection
with a subscription agreement, which were recorded as selling,
general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated
statements of operations and comprehensive loss during the nine
months ended September 30, 2024. The Company recorded $0.3 million
and $1.2 million of transaction costs during the three and nine
months ended September 30, 2023.

Forward-Looking
Statements
This press release contains forward-looking statements within
the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, and Section 21E of the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
Forward-looking statements generally are accompanied by words such
as “believe,” “may,” “will,” “estimate,” “continue,” “anticipate,”
“intend,” “expect,” “should,” “would,” “plan,” “predict,”
“potential,” “seem,” “seek,” “future,” “outlook,” and similar
expressions that predict or indicate future events or trends or
that are not statements of historical matters. These
forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to,
statements regarding the QT Imaging Breast Acoustic CT™ Scanner,
including its commercialization, manufacturing (including large
scale) and further development, the PIPE and its closing, the
future payments under the Note, plans for QT Imaging, new product
development and introduction, product sales growth and projected
revenues, QT Imaging’s industry, future events, and other
statements that are not historical facts. Forward-looking
statements involve certain risks and uncertainties, and actual
results may differ materially from those discussed in any such
statement. These statements are based on various assumptions,
whether or not identified herein, and on the current expectations
of QT Imaging's management and are not predictions of actual
performance. These forward-looking statements are provided for
illustrative purposes only and are not intended to serve as, and
must not be relied on by you or any other investor as, a guarantee,
an assurance, a prediction or a definitive statement of fact or
probability. Actual events and circumstances are difficult or
impossible to predict and will differ from assumptions. Many actual
events and circumstances are beyond our control. These
forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and
uncertainties, including those relating to: the ability of the
Company to sell and deploy the QT Imaging Breast Acoustic CT™
Scanner; the ability to extend product offerings into new areas or
products; the ability to commercialize technology; unexpected
occurrences that deter the full documentation and “bring to market”
plan for products; trends and fluctuations in the industry; changes
in demand and purchasing volume of customers; unpredictability of
suppliers; the ability to attract and retain qualified personnel
and the ability to move product sales to production levels; changes
in domestic and foreign business, market, financial, political, and
legal conditions; the uncertainty of projected financial
information; delays caused by factors outside of our control;
changes in our ability to successfully receive purchase orders and
generate revenue under our existing contracts with partners and
distributors; our ability to realize the benefits of the strategic
partnerships; the identified material weakness in our internal
controls over financial reporting (including the timeline to
remediate the material weakness); the rollout of the business and
the timing of expected business milestones; the effects of
competition on our future business; our ability to obtain and
access financing in the future; our ability to pay our debt
obligations as they come due; and those factors discussed in the
Company’s reports and other documents filed with the SEC, including
under the heading “Risk Factors.” If any of these risks materialize
or our assumptions prove incorrect, actual results could differ
materially from the results implied by these forward-looking
statements. There may be additional risks that QT Imaging presently
does not know or that QT Imaging currently believes are immaterial
which could also cause actual results to differ from those
contained in the forward-looking statements. In addition,
forward-looking statements reflect QT Imaging's expectations, plans
or forecasts of future events and views as of the date of this
release. QT Imaging anticipates that subsequent events and
developments will cause QT Imaging's assessments to change.
However, while QT Imaging may elect to update these forward-looking
statements at some point in the future, QT Imaging specifically
disclaims any obligation to do so. Accordingly, undue reliance
should not be placed upon the forward-looking statements.
Non-GAAP Financial
Measures
The financial information and data contained in this press
release is unaudited. Some of the financial information and data
contained in this press release, such as EBITDA and Adjusted
EBITDA, have not been prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles in the United States
(“GAAP”). To supplement our unaudited condensed consolidated
financial statements, which are prepared and presented in
accordance with GAAP in our press release, we also report certain
non-GAAP financial measures. A “non-GAAP financial measure” refers
to a numerical measure of a company’s historical or future
financial performance, financial position, or cash flows that
excludes (or includes) amounts that are included in (or excluded
from) the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented
in accordance with GAAP in such company’s financial statements.
Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation
or as a substitute for the relevant GAAP measures and should be
read in conjunction with information presented on a GAAP basis.
Because not all companies use identical calculations, our
presentation of non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to other
similarly titled measures of other companies.
The presentation of these financial measures is not intended to
be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to,
financial information prepared and presented in accordance with
GAAP and should not be considered measures of QT Imaging's
liquidity. Investors are cautioned that there are material
limitations associated with the use of non-GAAP financial measures
as an analytical tool. In particular, many of the adjustments to
our GAAP financial measures reflect the exclusion of certain items,
as defined in our non-GAAP definitions below, which are recurring
and will be reflected in our financial results for the foreseeable
future. In addition, these measures may be different from non-GAAP
financial measures used by other companies, even where similarly
titled, limiting their usefulness for comparison purposes and
therefore should not be used to compare QT Imaging’s performance to
that of other companies. We endeavor to compensate for the
limitation of the non-GAAP financial measures presented by also
providing the most directly comparable GAAP measures and
descriptions of the reconciling items and adjustments to derive the
non-GAAP financial measures.
We believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide investors
and analysts with useful supplemental information about the
financial performance of our business, enable comparison of
financial results between periods where certain items may vary
independent of business performance, and allow for greater
transparency with respect to key measures used by management to
operate and analyze our business over different periods of
time.
EBITDA is defined as loss before interest expense, income tax
expense, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is defined
as EBITDA further adjusted for stock-based compensation, net change
in fair value of the derivative, earnout and warrant liabilities,
and transaction expenses. Similar excluded expenses may be incurred
in future periods when calculating these measures. QT Imaging
believes these non-GAAP measures of financial results provide
useful information to management and investors regarding certain
financial and business trends relating to the Company’s financial
condition and results of operations. QT Imaging believes that the
use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides an additional
tool for investors to use in evaluating projected operating results
and trends and in comparing QT Imaging’s financial measures with
other similar companies, many of which present similar non-GAAP
financial measures to investors.
Management does not consider these non-GAAP measures in
isolation or as an alternative to financial measures determined in
accordance with GAAP. The principal limitation of these non-GAAP
financial measures is that they exclude significant expenses and
income that are required by GAAP to be recorded in the Company’s
condensed consolidated financial statements. In addition, they are
subject to inherent limitations as they reflect the exercise of
judgment by management about which expense and income items are
excluded or included in determining these non-GAAP financial
measures.
Management uses EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as a non-GAAP
performance measure which is defined in the accompanying tables and
is reconciled to net loss, the most directly comparable GAAP
measure, in the tables above. The Company does not reconcile
forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly
comparable GAAP financial measure (or otherwise describe such
forward-looking GAAP measure) because it is not able to forecast
the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in
accordance with GAAP without unreasonable effort. Certain elements
of the composition of the GAAP amounts are not predictable, making
it impracticable for the Company to forecast. As a result, no
guidance for the Company’s net income (loss) or reconciliation of
the Company’s Adjusted EBITDA guidance is provided. For the same
reasons, the Company is unable to assess the probable significance
of the unavailable information, which could have a potentially
significant impact on its future net income (loss).
We present reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures
to the most directly comparable GAAP measures in the tables
above.
