ENDRA Life Sciences Reports Third Quarter 2021 Financial Results and Provides Business Update

Conference call begins at 4:30 p.m. Eastern time today

ANN ARBOR, Mich. (November 15, 2021) – ENDRA Life Sciences Inc. (ENDRA) (NASDAQ: NDRA), a pioneer of Thermo Acoustic Enhanced UltraSound (TAEUS^®^), today reported financial results for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and provided a business update. Highlights of the third quarter of 2021 and recent weeks include:

· Patient screening was initiated at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (UPMC) while it continues to work through a pandemic-related backlog of MRI procedures. Both the UPMC study and the Rocky Vista University College of Osteopathic Medicine (RVUCOM) study, which started scanning patients earlier this year, are comparing liver fat measurements from the TAEUS system to the gold standard, MRI-PDFF. RVUCOM’s study is targeting a total of 200 patients and UPMC’s is targeting 75 patients.
· In-person commercial activities increased for the TAEUS system in Europe, despite recent COVID-19 trends. ENDRA’s sales team is conducting in-person sales visits, including group demonstrations, building a robust pipeline of customer leads. In addition, ENDRA participated in trade shows in France with the ability to demonstrate in-person the benefits of the TAEUS system.
· TAEUS intellectual property (IP) protection bolstered with issuance of 21^st^ U.S. patent. A U.S. patent was issued in October relating to a novel method and system for monitoring tissue temperature during surgical procedures using the TAEUS system. This adds to three U.S. patents issued in July, representing further protection of optimized hybrid ultrasound and thermoacoustic imaging systems for a wide range of applications. ENDRA’s current IP portfolio stands at 89 assets, which the company defines as patents in preparation, filed or issued.
· Strong balance sheet supports commercial activities in Europe. As of September 30, 2021, ENDRA had cash and cash equivalents of $11.8 million. The company is well-capitalized to continue building its commercial efforts in Europe and to support its clinical evaluation partners worldwide, as it awaits a regulatory determination in the U.S.

“In parallel with advancing our commercial plan in Europe, we continue to engage actively with the FDA regarding the TAEUS system’s 510(k) submission. We are working collaboratively with the Agency for agreement on a definitive path forward, including potentially providing additional real-world clinical data, as the review period has taken longer than we expected,” stated Francois Michelon, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of ENDRA.

“Despite a recent uptick in COVID-19 cases in Europe, our sales team has been able to schedule in-person visits and to facilitate group demonstrations. In addition, we have been able to participate in trade shows in-person, resulting in additional sales leads to expand our customer database,” commented Renaud Maloberti, ENDRA’s Chief Commercial Officer.

Third Quarter 2021 Financial Results

· Operating expenses decreased to $2.7 million in the third quarter of 2021 from $3.3 million in the same period in 2020. The decrease was primarily due to reduced spending for product development and investor relations.
· Net loss in the third quarter of 2021 was $2.7 million, or $0.06 per share, compared with a net loss of $3.3 million, or $0.15 per share, in the third quarter of 2020.
· Cash and cash equivalents were $11.8 million as of September 30, 2021.

About ENDRA Life Sciences Inc.

ENDRA Life Sciences is the pioneer of Thermo Acoustic Enhanced UltraSound (TAEUS^®^), a ground-breaking technology being developed to visualize tissue like MRI, but at 1/50th the cost and at the point of patient care. TAEUS^®^ is designed to work in concert with 400,000 cart-based ultrasound systems in use globally today. TAEUS^®^ is initially focused on the measurement of fat in the liver as a means to assess and monitor Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) and Non-Alcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH), chronic liver conditions that affect over one billion people globally, and for which there are no practical diagnostic tools. Beyond the liver, ENDRA is exploring several other clinical applications of TAEUS^®^, including visualization of tissue temperature during energy-based surgical procedures.
