  • Completed initial public offering and listing on NASDAQ on February 19, 2019
  • Received FDA Clearance of initial device on May 24, 2019, clearing the device for use as an accessory to a 1064 Q-switch laser for tattoo removal
  • Honored with the "Best in Session" award by the American Society for Laser Medicine & Surgery, the world's largest scientific organization in the field of medical laser applications
  • Added to the Russell 2000 and 3000 Indexes in June 2019
  • Demonstrated in proof-of-concept trial the ability of technology to deliver "acoustic subcision," a key step for the potential treatment using the device, if approved, of cellulite dimples and ridges
  • Initiated a full, four-site pivotal clinical trial for the treatment of cellulite, with results expected in Q1 2020
  • Increased the size of the patent portfolio with an additional 31 patents filed and 17 patents granted
  • Closed two private placements for a total of $15.95 million in gross proceeds

Dr. Chris Capelli, Soliton's President, CEO and co-founder, commented, "We achieved significant clinical and corporate milestones in 2019 that we believe will prove fundamental to Soliton's future success. The completion of Company's initial public offering last February highlights the long-term opportunity for our investors. In conjunction with an FDA clearance of our Rapid Acoustic Pulse ("RAP") device for tattoo removal in May, we look forward to leveraging the platform technology for the potential treatment, if approved, of cellulite and keloid scars. We believe the positive results from our 12-week keloid proof-of-concept study further validate our growth opportunity."

"Based on the solid foundation we built in 2019, we are entering 2020 with strong momentum and look forward to a number of key milestones we believe will drive our future success. We are on track to release the results from our cellulite pivotal study in the first quarter and to submit our FDA filing for the treatment of cellulite in the second quarter of 2020. Most notable is our anticipated mid-2020 launch of our RAP device for tattoo removal.  While we expect the early revenues from this launch to be limited, we expect the applicable market dynamic and physician use information generated to be invaluable. 2020 will be a turning point in Soliton's history as we seek to transition into a commercial entity," Dr. Capelli concluded.

Operating expenses for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2019 were $3.3 million, as compared to $2.1 million in the fourth quarter 2018. The increase was primarily attributable to higher general and administrative expenses resulting from hiring new employees, including executives, and increases in costs related to operating as a public company. Operating expenses for the full year ended December 31, 2019 were $12.9 million, as compared to $8.2 million in the full year 2018. The increase was primarily attributable to higher general and administrative expenses resulting from the hiring of new employees, including executives, and increases in the costs related to operating as a public company.

Net loss for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2019 was $3.3 million, or $0.20 basic and diluted net loss per share, compared with net income of $2.7 million, or $1.41 basic and diluted net loss per share, for the fourth quarter 2018. Net loss for the full year ended December 31, 2019 was $13.9 million, or $1.01 basic and diluted net loss per share, compared with net loss of $10.6 million, or $5.64 basic and diluted net loss per share, for the full year 2018.

Total cash was $12.1 million as of December 31, 2019, compared to $8.7 million as of September 30, 2019. During the fourth quarter Soliton entered into definitive agreements with certain institutional and accredited investors to raise aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $6.25 million through the private placement of its equity securities. The financing was led by Remeditex Ventures, LLC, the Company's largest shareholder.

Soliton, Inc. is a medical device company with a novel and proprietary platform technology licensed from MD Anderson. The Company's first FDA cleared commercial product will use rapid pulses of acoustic shockwaves as an accessory to lasers for the removal of unwanted tattoos. The Company is based in Houston, Texas, and is actively engaged in bringing the Rapid Acoustic Pulse ("RAP") device to the market. The Company believes this "Soliton" method has the potential to lower tattoo removal costs for patients, while increasing profitability to practitioners, compared to current laser removal methods.  Soliton is investigating potential additional capabilities of the RAP technology in clinical and preclinical testing, including the potential to improve the appearance of cellulite by creating mechanical stress at the cellular level and inducing significant collagen growth and the potential to treat keloid and hypertrophic scars by targeting the stiffened environment in the intracellular matrix.
