Due to frequent applications in the medical field, sample preparations devices are a segment of the medical devices market. As projected in a research report by Grace Market Data, the global medical devices market will see a steady growth over the coming years with sales revenue and international trade value reaching $543.9 billion and $289.2 billion respectively by 2020. This is driven by a growing aging population, increasing healthcare expenditure and technology advancement.
Pressure BioSciences, Inc. (OTCQB: PBIO) is the developer and seller of broadly enabling, pressure cycling technology ("PCT") - based sample preparation solutions to the worldwide life sciences industry. Recently the company announced financial results for the first quarter of 2017 and provided a business update, "Products and services revenue increased 16% to $525,998 for Q1 2017 as compared to $454,350 for Q1 2016. This increase was primarily attributable to an increase of 19% in the sale of instrument systems, from $332,016 in Q1 2016 to $396,095 in the same quarter of 2017. Sales of consumables also increased during these same periods, from $44,234 in Q1 2016 to $63,264 in Q1 2017, an increase of 43%. Grant revenue decreased from $56,128 in Q1 2016 to $25,359 in Q1 2017. We believe grant revenue will increase over the remaining quarters in 2017.
Despite this decrease in grant revenue, total revenue increased to $551,357 for the three months ended March 31, 2017 as compared to $510,478 during the three months ended March 31, 2016, an increase of $40,878 or 8%. This increase was attributable to increases in the sales of our products and services.
Operating loss decreased to $999,103 in Q1 2017 from $1,045,945 for the same period in 2016, a reduction of $46,842 or 4%. This decrease was primarily due to reduced R&D expenses combined with increased sales of product and services. Loss per common share - basic and diluted - was $0.18 for Q1 2017 compared to a loss per common share of $0.26 for the same period in 2016."
Mr. Richard T. Schumacher, President and CEO of PBI, commented: "Although pleased with the financial results of the first quarter, we are even more pleased with our operational accomplishments. During the first quarter, we made significant progress on our clearly-defined 2017 goals to (i) develop a clear and sustainable path to profitability and financial self-sufficiency; (ii) enhance and expand our current sales and marketing capabilities with the hiring of a minimum of four field sales directors, plus an external lead-generation service and internal operational personnel; and (iii) achieve an up-list to the NASDAQ Stock Exchange by or before the end of the 2017 second quarter. We believe that continued progress on or the achievement of these goals will position PBI to be a stronger, more valuable company, which in turn should increase shareholder value, which is our ultimate goal."
