Exhibit 99.1

 

 

Inspira™ Technologies Reports Second Quarter 2023 Financial Results

 

As of June 30, 2023, the Company had $8.9 million in cash, cash equivalents and short-term bank deposits.

 

Ra’anana, Israel, August 10, 2023 – Inspira Technologies OXY B.H.N. Ltd. (Nasdaq: IINN, IINNW) (the “Company” or “Inspira”), a company aiming to revolutionize acute respiratory care, announced today its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2023.

 

Outlook:

 

INSPIRA™ ART100 - We are focused on the final stages of the development of the INSPIRA ART100, which is planned to be submitted to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”) clearance via the 510(k) pathway. We believe that the potential completion of the INSPIRA ART100 illustrates and validates our capability to take a product from research to a full regulatory submission and illustrates the potential of our intellectual property. The INSPIRA ART100 is designed for life support, providing pulmonary and cardiac support. The Company is preparing for the unveiling of the INSPIRA ART100 at the world’s largest Extracorporeal Life Support Organization (ELSO) conference, the 34th Annual ELSO Conference in Seattle, Washington, which will be held between September 28 and October 1, 2023.

 

INSPIRA™ ART500 – We continue to expend company resources towards the development of the INSPIRA ART500 and integrated artificial intelligence (“AI”) and blood sensor technology. The Company is awaiting potential future grants of patents in the U.S. for the INSPIRA ART500 technologies.

 

The INSPIRA ART500 is a potentially disruptive, paradigm-shifting solution, offering a potentially new treatment category that uniquely utilizes small volumes of blood to increase oxygen saturation levels in minutes. To empower awake patients to breathe without lungs, the Company intends to integrate advanced hemodynamic sensor technologies with AI-powered real-time analytics to support significantly improving patient outcomes. In today's fast-paced healthcare environment, limited patient interaction time and a lack of real-time data can lead to overlooking subtle changes in the patient's condition, which could negatively impact clinical outcomes. INSPIRA AI will usher in a new era of hyper-personalization acute respiratory care, delivering real-time insights and alerts to support physician decision-making to support timely clinical intervention and enhance the quality of care.

 

“We are extremely pleased with our progress in the second quarter of 2023,” said Dagi Ben-Noon, Chief Executive Officer of Inspira. “We are dedicated to delivering value to both patients who potentially may need our future products and our shareholders alike. We remain committed to driving innovation, expanding our technological and product development to bring new needed technologies to the medical device market.”

 

 

 


 

 

Financial Results for the six months ended June 30, 2023

 

Research and development expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2023 were $3.8 million, compared to $4.3 million for the corresponding period in 2022. The reason for the decrease in research and development expenses was primarily the result of a decrease in share-based compensation expenses, which was more significant than the increase in the salary and related expenses as a result of the Company’s recruitment of employees, as well as the expansion of its research and development department.

 

Sales and marketing expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2023, were $401,000 compared to $777,000 for the corresponding period in 2022. The decrease is attributable to decreases in share-based compensation expenses and a reduction in marketing activities. The marketing department increased its efforts in the first half of 2022 with respect to brand awareness and exploring go-to-market capabilities.

 

General and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2023 were $2.1 million, compared to $2.9 million for the corresponding period in 2022. The decrease resulted primarily from a decrease in share-based compensation expenses and a lower cost of director and officer insurance.

 

Finance income for the six months ended June 30, 2023, was $652,000, compared to $4.5 million for the corresponding period in 2022. The decrease in finance income resulted primarily from the calculation of the fair market value of the Company’s financial equity liabilities relating to its pre-initial public offering (IPO) and IPO investors, in addition to the fluctuation in the U.S. dollar – New Israeli Shekel exchange rate during the first half of 2023.

 

Finance expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2023 were $172,000, compared to $24,000 for the corresponding period in 2022. The increase in finance expenses resulted primarily from the calculation of the fair market value of the Company’s financial equity liabilities relating to its pre-IPO and IPO investors.

 

The net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was $5.9 million, compared to a net loss of $3.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022.

 

Financial highlights for the three months ended June 30, 2023

 

Research and development expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2023 were $1.8 million, a decrease of $1 million compared to the second quarter of 2022. The decrease was attributed to a decrease in share-based compensation expenses.

 

Sales and marketing expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2023 were $233,000, a decrease of approximately $72,000 compared to the second quarter of 2022.

 

General and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2023, were $1 million, a decrease of $400,000 compared to the second quarter of 2022. The decrease resulted primarily from a decrease in share-based compensation expenses and a lower cost of director and officer insurance.

Finance income for the three months ended June 30,2023 was $284,000, compared to $2.4 million for the corresponding period in 2022.

Finance expenses for the three months ended June 30,2023 were $60,000, compared to $14,000 for the corresponding period in 2022.
