OMER, Israel, May 17, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Medigus Ltd. (NASDAQ:MDGS), a technology company engaged in advanced medical solutions and innovative internet technologies, today announced its financial results for the year ended December 31, 2020 and reported that the Company's annual report on Form 20-F, containing audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020 was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 14, 2020.

For the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company reported revenues from products and services of approx. $531 thousands, an increase of approx. 95% compared to approx. $273 thousands for the year ended December 31, 2019. Our revenues in recent years were primarily derived from the sale of miniature camera and related equipment which we develop and manufacture and from development services.

The increase in revenues from miniature camera and related equipment was primarily due to the sale of products to A.M. Surgical by ScoutCam. Total revenues recorded from A.M. Surgical during 2020 amounted to approximately $383 thousands. Total revenues we recorded from A.M. Surgical during 2019 amounted to approximately $85 thousands. This increase was partially offset by decrease in revenues to other customers due to the COVID-19 pandemic impact on global markets and ScoutCam management decision to reduce sales to occasional customers and focus on larger projects. The attributed to the revenues from services comes from Eventer, which was consolidated commencing October 15, 2020. 

The Company ended 2020 with a net loss of approx. $6.85 million representing a decrease of approx. 52%, compared to a net loss of approx. $14.18 million in 2019. The decrease was primarily due to a one-time IFRS listing expenses in 2019 of 10.01 million off-set by an increase in General and administrative expenses of 2.41 million in 2020.

Cash and Cash equivalents totaled $22.36 million as of December 31, 2020, compared to $7.04 million on December 31, 2019. The increase was primarily due to Net cash generated from financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2020 of $22,95 million, an increase of $19.79 million, compared to net cash generated from financing activities of $3.16 million for the year ended December 31, 2019.
