QT Imaging secures financial footing, projects growth

NOVATO, Calif. - QT Imaging Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:QTI), a developer of advanced body imaging systems with a current market capitalization of $9.93 million, has announced the restructuring of its financial obligations and is projecting a significant increase in revenue for the years 2025 and 2026. According to InvestingPro data, the company currently operates with a significant debt burden and has been rapidly burning through cash. The medical device company stated that it has amended its short-term liabilities to extend the maturity dates, allowing for better cash flow management and operational focus.

The amendments involve the convertible promissory notes with YA II PN, Ltd. and Funicular Funds, LP, both originally dated January 9, 2025. These notes are now set to mature on March 31, 2026, with the principal and an annual interest rate of 6% due at that time. With total debt standing at $10.92 million and an Altman Z-Score of -8.68 as reported by InvestingPro, this restructuring comes at a crucial time for the company. Until the maturity date, the company is not required to make any payments.

This financial maneuver is part of QT Imaging's strategy to enhance its market position and deliver on its production and sales targets. Dr. Raluca Dinu, Chief Executive Officer of QT Imaging, expressed gratitude to the investors for their partnership, which she believes will enable the company to meet its goal of distributing at least 40 scanners in 2025 and 60 scanners in 2026.

The company forecasts revenues of $18 million in 2025, followed by $27 million in 2026. This marks a substantial increase from its 2024 revenue figures, which InvestingPro reports at $4.04 million for the last twelve months. Notably, the company's stock has experienced significant volatility, with a -95.82% return over the past year, and analysts currently anticipate a sales decline in the current year. The revenue growth is tied to the anticipated sales of the company's body imaging systems, which utilize low frequency sound waves for medical diagnostics.

QT Imaging's approach to medical imaging focuses on making it safe, affordable, accessible, and patient-centered. The company is known for its research, development, and commercialization of these innovative imaging systems and holds the trademark for the Breast Acoustic CT™, an affiliated technology.

In other recent news, QT Imaging Holdings announced an amendment to its distribution agreement with NXC Imaging, a subsidiary of Canon Medical (TASE:PMCN) Systems USA. The revised agreement modifies terms related to the marketing and reselling of QT Imaging's equipment in the U.S. The exclusivity of NXC Imaging as a reseller is now contingent upon the fulfillment of obligations under a potential manufacturing agreement with Canon Medical Systems Corporation. The updated agreement also extends the net payment period to 30 days from the shipment of equipment and introduces a non-solicitation clause.

QT Imaging Holdings has also announced an Omnibus Amendment with investor YA II PN, extending the Maturity Date of the Investor Note and modifying other terms of their existing financial agreements. The amendment stipulates that QT Imaging will make no further monthly payments until January 15, 2025.

In a recent development, QT Imaging has entered into an exclusive distribution agreement with NXC Imaging, granting them exclusive reselling rights for specified QT Imaging equipment within the U.S. These recent developments aim to improve QT Imaging's financial stability and market reach.
