DALLAS, Aug. 12, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Spectral AI, Inc. (NASDAQ:MDAI) ("Spectral AI" or the "Company"), an artificial intelligence (AI) company focused on medical diagnostics for faster and more accurate treatment decisions in wound care, today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2024 ("Q2 2024") and provided an update on its ongoing business activities.

"This is one of the most exciting and consequential periods in our history, and I am proud to see the teams advancing our proprietary, AI-driven DeepView™ System for burn indication ("DeepView AI- Burn") along multiple fronts, including clinical, developmental and commercial," said Peter M. Carlson, CEO of Spectral AI. "The upcoming completion of enrollment at burn centers for our U.S. Burn Pivotal Study, continued development of both our cart-based device and the handheld diagnostic tool, and anticipation of our first commercial revenues in the U.K. later this year validate our vison and reinforce our strategic imperatives."

CLINCIAL TRIAL UPDATES

Patient enrollment for the 2024 U.S. Burn Pivotal Study continues to progress well at burn centers, where total enrollment now exceeds 85%. This pivotal study, which is designed to validate the AI-driven algorithm of DeepView AI-Burn, will be the final clinical trial before the Company seeks regulatory approval in 2025 and is one of the largest burn studies ever conducted in the United States.
Building on this momentum, the Company will pursue a De Novo classification from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") for DeepView AI-Burn for use in burn centers and expects to submit the request in the second quarter of 2025. A subsequent 510k application will be made for the use of DeepView AI-Burn in emergency departments after receiving approval for use in burn centers.
The Company paused patient enrollment for the U.S. DFU Clinical Validation Study at 475 subjects, having achieved sufficient enrollment for development of a robust DFU data set. Management is assessing the insights of this study while focusing on the burn indication, where the opportunity for near-term market penetration is the greatest.

SELECT BUSINESS HIGHLIGHTS

Product Deployment and Market Development

Deployed a total of five DeepView Burn devices at facilities across the U.K. in connection with the February 2024 receipt of UKCA Authorization. These deployments will increase familiarity of the device in advance of commercialization later this year and provide real-word data that enhances the AI-algorithm.
Continued to make progress in the development of DeepView SnapShot® M, a handheld diagnostic tool targeted for use in battlefield burn assessment that is based on the DeepView™ System platform. DeepView SnapShot® M is designed to be an integral part of the triage process by providing a quick and accurate wound assessment so that those with more severe burn injuries can be prioritized for treatment and evacuation. A poster presentation highlighting DeepView SnapShot® M is scheduled for the 2024 Military Health System Research Symposium (MHSRS) being held August 26-29, 2024.
Signed a Memorandum of Understanding with PolyNovo Limited to support the Company's application to the Australian Special Access Scheme to allow for the deployment of two DeepView Burn systems at the Royal Adelaide Hospital and The Alfred Hospital in Melbourne.

Corporate

Received the final $2.5 million principal advance under its existing standby equity purchase agreement.
Added to the Russell Microcap^®Index effective July 1, 2024.
Continued to strengthen and protect its proprietary DeepView™ System wound assessment platform via a 30% increase in the Company's patent portfolio to 26 granted patents from 20. The Company also announced an additional 38 pending patent applications worldwide.

Q2 2024 FINANCIAL RESULTS OVERVIEW

All comparisons are to the second quarter ended June 30, 2023 ("Q2 2023") unless otherwise stated.

Research & Development Revenue ¹

Research & Development Revenue for Q2 2024 rose 76% to $7.5 million from $4.3 million, primarily reflecting an increased level of activity under the Company's Project BioShield (PBS) contract with BARDA for the advanced development of the DeepView™ System.

Gross Margin

Gross margin for Q2 2024 improved to 44.3% from 42.1%, due to a higher reimbursement rate under the BARDA PBS Contract as compared to the rate associated with the now completed BARDA Burn II contract.

General & Administrative Expense

General & administrative expenses in Q2 2024 rose to $5.8 million, or 77% of revenues, from $4.8 million, or 112% of revenues.

Operating Loss

Operating loss narrowed to $(2.4) million from $(3.0) million.

Net Loss

Net loss for Q2 2024 narrowed to $(2.9) million, or $(0.16) per share, as compared to a net loss of $(3.1) million, or $(0.23) per share.

2024 Guidance

The Company reiterates its revenue guidance of approximately $28.0 million for FY 2024. Financial guidance for FY 2024 does not reflect contributions from the sale of the DeepView™ System for burn in the U.K. that is expected to begin in Q4 2024 or any additional material financial contributions that may result from the commercialization of our DeepView™ System.
