LYON, France, May 17, 2017 -- EDAP TMS SA EDAP, the global leader in therapeutic ultrasound, announced today financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2017, and provided an update on strategic and operational accomplishments.

"Our first quarter revenues remain in line with our revenues from first quarter 2016", said Marc Oczachowski, EDAP's Chief Executive Officer. "We continue to expand our education efforts in the U.S. as demonstrated by our successful addition of more than 50 new urologists to our HIFU training program during the first quarter. As a result, momentum in the U.S. continues as evidenced by the significant growth of our pipeline of HIFU projects. Global HIFU treatment driven revenue continues to increase with 16.5% growth year over year, while our global UDS/Lithotripsy business grew 16.5% compared to the first quarter of 2016."

Marc Oczachowski added: "We are well positioned to continue with our strategic initiatives to ensure a solid foundation for growth in the U.S. market. In late February 2017, we submitted our dossier for reimbursement to CMS Medicare for C-code allocation; we expect feedback from CMS no later than July 2017. We have also expanded our HIFU product offerings with the addition of our Ablatherm Fusion device, announced during the American Urological Association's annual conference in Boston last weekend."

About EDAP TMS SA

EDAP TMS SA markets today Ablatherm® for high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) for prostate tissue ablation in the U.S. and for treatment of localized prostate cancer in the rest of the world. HIFU treatment is shown to be a minimally invasive and effective option for prostatic tissue ablation with a low occurrence of side effects. Ablatherm-HIFU is generally recommended for patients with localized prostate cancer (stages T1-T2) who are not candidates for surgery or who prefer an alternative option, or for patients who failed radiotherapy treatment. Ablatherm-HIFU is approved for commercial distribution in Europe and some other countries including Mexico and Canada, and has received 510(k) clearance by the U.S. FDA. Ablatherm Fusion is not FDA cleared yet. The Company also markets an innovative robot-assisted HIFU device, the Focal One®, dedicated to focal therapy of prostate cancer. Focal One® is CE marked but is not FDA approved. The Company also develops its HIFU technology for the potential treatment of certain other types of tumors. EDAP TMS SA also produces and distributes medical equipment (the Sonolith® lithotripters' range) for the treatment of urinary tract stones using extra-corporeal shockwave lithotripsy (ESWL) in most countries including Canada and the U.S. For more information on the Company, please visit http://www.edap-tms.com, and http://www.hifu-planet.com.
