BEVERLY HILLS, Calif., Nov. 19, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- TOMI Environmental Solutions, Inc. (“TOMI”) (OTCQX:TOMZ), a global provider of infection prevention and decontamination products, services and research, including SteraMist™, a hydrogen peroxide-based mist and fog, announced its results for the third quarter of 2018.

TOMI™ Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Halden Shane stated, “The third quarter delivered the highest quarterly revenue we have seen to date and set a record for the Company at $1,948,000. We saw 89% growth in our quarter over quarter revenue and improved financial operating results. We continue to expand our sales force, grow our customer list and open new revenue channels. The Company remains committed to growing revenue, building brand awareness, innovation and making the world a safer place.”

Financial Results for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2018 compared to 2017

Total net revenue was $1,948,000 compared to $1,030,000, representing an increase of $918,000, or 89%. A further breakdown of revenue is as follows:

- SteraMist™ product based revenue was $1,613,000 compared to $792,000, representing an increase of $821,000, or 104%. The increase in the current year period was attributable to large equipment orders from new customers and steady repeat solution orders from our existing customer base.

- SteraMist™ service based revenue was $335,000 compared to $238,000, representing an increase of $97,000, or 41%. The increase in the current year period was attributable to a higher amount of service engagements in the current period.
Gross margins were 53.1% compared to 62.2%. The primary reason for the decrease in our gross margins was attributable to our product mix in sales for the current year period in connection with the complete room system we sold to a Fortune 100 pharmaceutical company that carried a lower gross profit margin.
Loss from operations was $314,000 compared to $396,000, representing a decrease of $82,000, or 21%. The reduced loss from operations was attributable to higher revenue and gross profit.
Net loss was 373,000, or $0.00 on a per share basis, compared to a net loss of $457,000, or $0.00 on a per share basis, representing a a decrease of $84,000, or 18%.
At September 30, 2018, cash and cash equivalents were $3,177,000 and working capital was $2,355,000.

Current Business Highlights

89% and 28% growth in our revenue for the the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively.
Manufactured, delivered and installed an iHP™ Complete Room system with 20 applicators across four suites for a platinum Life Science U.S. customer.
Added 56 new customers in 2018 and continued to see an increase in repeat solution orders from our existing client base.
Added 13 new members to our TSN network.
Partnership with MaxAir, a purifying respiratory protection helmet. This high-tech helmet will be worn by hospital Environmental Service employees and outside service providers during TOMI’s hospital terminal clean. TOMI has developed a hospital terminal clean protocol that takes less than one hour for completion including changing bedding, thanks to our SteraMist technology and our MaxAir partnership. TOMI has also recently partnered with MaxAir’s national sales team, which regularly sells to the infection disease/safety market in the healthcare industry. TOMI and MaxAir have partnered and hired manufacturing sales representatives, sales groups and companies to sell and promote SteraMist™ along with MaxAir. TOMI will manage the orders and logistics of training and supplies to the end users. We believe this partnership will enable us to penetrate the United States healthcare market more effectively.
The World Health Organization (“WHO”) identified SteraMist™ as the only “Disinfecting solution and technology” in its recently published 2016–2017 “WHO compendium of innovative health technologies for low-resource settings.” As part of its selection process, the 562 technologies were evaluated by 35 internal WHO staff and 87 external reviewers, who presented no conflict of interest. Once the evaluations were received and compiled, a total of 39 prototypes and 29 commercially available products were selected and are presented in the compendium in order to illustrate certain innovative technologies that can empower healthcare workers and might support people and patients to have a healthier life.
Continued participation in a large study that compares hospital manual cleans to a SteraMist™ mechanical clean using iHP™ disinfecting technology. The study is being conducted at three Los Angeles Public Heath Hospitals, LAC-USC Medical Center, UCLA Olive View Medical Center and Harbor-UCLA Medical Center. Early study details have demonstrated progress and more recent data shows that there is a significant decrease in the transference of HAIs in the rooms that used SteraMist™ for their terminal clean, as compared to the manual clean rooms. Further results will be released as obtained from each of the lead investigators.
Further, in September 2018, we implemented an iHP™ decontamination chamber system for a well-renowned university.
Partnered with the Global BioRisk Advisory Council (“GBAC”) to use SteraMist™ as one of the training technologies taught in its certification classes and used during decontamination of everyday crises and forensic restoration scenes.
Launched the Forensic Restoration Service Team (“FRST”), a TOMI-certified forensic restoration and crime clean network. The network is comprised of service providers who are certified and specialize in forensic restoration, mass casualty cleanup, crime scene cleanup, suicide cleanup, unattended death cleanup, hoarding and bio-recovery. Participating FRST members will receive specialized training and certifications by GBAC.
