BEVERLY HILLS, CA / ACCESSWIRE / August 30, 2018 / TOMI Environmental Solutions, Inc. ("TOMI") (OTCQX: TOMZ), a global provider of infection prevention and decontamination products, services and research, including SteraMist?, a hydrogen peroxide-based mist and fog, announced its results for the second quarter of 2018.

TOMI? Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Halden Shane stated, "The SteraMist? brand, product line, and customer portfolio continues to grow in 2018. We've made great strides this year building brand awareness, adding customers, executing on our R&D strategies, expanding our sales force and further developing our internal infrastructure. Through the first six months of the year, we have allocated a significant amount of our resources into future projects and innovation of our line of products to better serve our clients and to further differentiate ourselves from our competitors."

Financial Results for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2018 compared to 2017

  • Net revenue in the first quarter of 2018 was $1,246,000, compared to $1,380,000 in the first quarter of 2017, representing a decrease of $134,000 or 10%. The decrease in revenue relates to product mix in sales as there was an increase in recurring solution orders in the second quarter of 2018 and less of a concentration in equipment sales that carry a higher sales price.
  • Gross margins in the first quarter of 2018 was 55.2%, compared to 62.9% in the second quarter of 2017. The primary reason for the decrease in our gross margins was attributable to our customer and product mix in sales during the three months ended June 30, 2018.
  • Loss from operations in the second quarter of 2018 was approximately $866,000, compared to $1,156,000 in the second quarter of 2018, representing a decrease of $290,000 or 25%. Our loss from operations improved in the current period as a result of lower operating costs.
  • Net Loss in the second quarter of 2018 was approximately $986,000, or $0.01 on a per share basis, compared to a net loss in the first quarter of 2017 of $1,213,000, or $0.01 on a per share basis, representing a decrease of $227,000 or 19%. The decrease in our net loss is attributable to our lower loss from operations, offset by the induced conversion costs we incurred in connection with the conversion of the 700,000 convertible note payable.
  • At June 30, 2018, cash and cash equivalents were $3,336,000 and working capital was $2,618,000.

Current Business Highlights

  • Execution of lease and near completion of our new 9,000 square foot facility in Frederick Maryland to accommodate our expanding operations. The new space will have additional office and warehouse space, a dedicated laboratory, larger research and development space and will feature its own permanently installed SteraMist? Complete Room System. This SteraMist? Complete Room will demonstrate to prospective clients TOMI's patented technology. Allow TOMI to answer the community's mobile transportation decontamination needs along with meeting TOMI's internal decontamination needs. The facility will be located at Riverside Corporate Park in the heart of emerging bio-tech companies and research centers.
  • Expansion of product line with launch of the EZ SteraMist? Disinfection Cart. This is a result of the needs and requests from USC/LAC Medical Center and two UCLA Hospitals. This all-in-one cart housing the SteraMist? Surface Unit and accompanying supplies making disinfection in hospitals even faster and more efficient for its EVS cleaning staff.
  • Expansion of product line with launch of SteraMist? Select Surface Unit. A unit developed for small enclosures answering the needs of many of our Life Sciences customers and opportunities. It has features for adjustable fluid and air control, a programmable timer, and an E-stop and Start button.
  • Added 36 new customers continued to see an increase in repeat solution orders from our existing client base.
  • 3% growth in our revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2018.
  • Continued participation in a large study that compares hospital manual cleans to a SteraMist? mechanical clean using iHP? disinfecting technology. The study is being conducted at three Los Angeles Public Hospitals, LAC-USC Medical Center being the largest along with UCLA Olive View Medical Center, and Harbor-UCLA Medical Center. Early study details and progress looks very encouraging and further results will be released as obtained from the study's lead investigators.
  • Continued expansion of sales force devoted to our Hospital-Healthcare division with the addition of independent sales represantatives. We anticipate by the end of 2018 to have a base of greater than 40 independent representatives.
  • Brought on first VA hospital with the substantial purchase of two (2) Surface Units and two (2) Environment systems, a new facility that will be among the highest-performing VA medical centers across all VA missions and once fully activated, the tertiary care regional referral medical center will serve a projected 70,000 enrolled Veterans with an anticipated 550,000 annual visits.
  • Swedish American, a division of University of Wisconsin Health, recently purchased a significant number of additional SteraMist? disinfection units for use throughout its hospital in Rockford, IL. Given the satisfaction at Swedish American Hospital with the purchase of their first Surface Unit, it was determined that expanding SteraMist use hospital wide with a purchase of an additional ten (10) SteraMist? units would allow the hospital to disinfect additional departments to proactively reduce the transference of the harmful pathogens in a variety of spaces. Planned use sites for the newly purchased systems include Intensive Care Units, inpatient beds, emergency department and continued use and expansion in the ORs.
  • Continued growth in our portfolio of clients in Life Sciences with the addition of 17 new customers in 2018 and further purchases from current Life Sciences customers, which include multiple facility locations of some of the largest multinational pharmaceutical companies in the world and prominent universities.
