Benoit Jacheet, Chief Financial Officer of Mauna Kea Technologies, stated, "Solid sales growth in the second quarter reflects both the maturation of our strategic partnerships with Cook Medical and Fujifilm China as well as strong growth in clinical procedures with existing customers, as seen in the 42% growth in the number of probe reorders. Of note, while the 5 consignment system shipments in the quarter reduced reported revenue, they provided our U.S. sales team the opportunity to gain access to important new customer sites at attractive overall economics. On the balance sheet, improving operating efficiencies during the first half of the year and the financial benefits of a more capital efficient selling model helped to significantly reduce our cash burn by 46% (cash flows from operating and investing activities, excluding financing). As of June 30 2016, the company's cash balance totaled €5.7 million."
The company recorded solid growth in the Asia-Pacific region with significant sales momentum in China, reflecting an additional Chinese FDA clearance obtained in December 2015, as well as growth in Japan and Taiwan. Sales in the EMEA region more than doubled while sales in the Americas region decreased, reflecting the Company's emphasis on growing its installed base among high volume users through its consignment model.
