LYON, France, January 20, 2021 -- EDAP TMS SA (Nasdaq: EDAP) (“the Company”), the global leader in robotic energy-based therapies, reports today preliminary unaudited fourth quarter and full-year revenue for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2020. For the fourth quarter 2020, the Company anticipates record revenue of EUR 15.3 million [$18.3 million], as compared to EUR 12.0 million [$13.3 million] for the fourth quarter of 2019, an increase of 28%.

Marc Oczachowski, EDAP's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said: “We are very pleased with this very strong and successful fourth quarter during which we generated record revenue that increased 28% over the prior year period. Of note, HIFU revenue increased 50% over the fourth quarter of 2019, which is all the more impressive in light of the impact the pandemic continues to have on healthcare systems around the world. This reflects the continued interest in HIFU technology and confirms that we have successfully adjusted to this new reality by continuing to grow our sales pipeline. We entered 2021 with renewed momentum, and I look forward to an exciting year.”
