Daxor Corporation Announces $0.48 Per Share NAV Increase and Files Annual Report for Fiscal 2020

Revenues of Operating Division Increase by 50.4%

NEW YORK, Feb. 26, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Daxor Corporation (NYSE MKT: DXR) The global leader in blood volume technology today filed its Annual Report to Shareholders on Form N-CSR, disclosing its schedule of portfolio holdings as of December 31, 2020.

Management reported a NAV of $3.89 for fiscal 2020 versus $3.41 for the comparable period in 2019, a $0.48 increase or 14%, as well as a 50.4% increase in revenues for its operating division, which produces and distributes its blood volume analysis (BVA) diagnostic systems and test kits. “We are pleased with our strong financial performance for fiscal 2020, as Daxor responded well to the unprecedented challenges of the COVID pandemic. Asset growth and revenue increases were driven by a combination of the sale and leasing of our BVA diagnostic systems and single-use test kits, as well as new military contracts from The US Department of Defense,” said Michael Feldschuh, CEO of Daxor.

Daxor announced that it also accelerated its commercialization efforts led by Jean Oertel, Vice President of Commercialization. Ms. Oertel joined Daxor in Q1 of 2020 after serving in senior leadership positions at major diagnostic companies, and has been focused on expanding Daxor’s customer base and distribution partners. “We are excited to be expanding our commercialization team, as well as clinical support and third-party distribution partners, to drive further increases in revenue for the coming year, capitalizing on strong research outcomes and new compelling cost-effectiveness data for Daxor’s products published in Q4 of 2020,” Ms. Oertel stated.

The Company also announced significant progress in its next-generation BVA technology, funded by multiple contracts awarded by the US Department of Defense. “Daxor’s next-generation technology is moving swiftly ahead with new analyzers projected for completion in the next 12 months. We are especially pleased with additional funding we have received from the National Institutes of Health and the Center for Advancing Point of Care Technologies (CAPCaT), as well. Our next generation products promise a leap in the speed and ease of use for our diagnostics and may broaden the market for our tests significantly,” said Jonathan Feldschuh, Daxor’s Chief Scientific Officer. “In addition, Daxor filed six new patents in 2020 and anticipates filing a similar number in 2021, capitalizing on technological advances in our active R&D program.”

In June of 2020, the Company announced a prospective multi-center study of BVA use for COVID-19 patients initiated by NYU Langone Health and the subsequent addition of two more hospital centers to the study. Results are anticipated to be announced in 2021. Duke University also initiated a randomized controlled study of BVA guided therapy in heart failure patients, and further studies are slated to be announced in the coming months.

“The COVID crisis, ICU mortality in general, and Heart Failure hospital admissions of over 1 million per year show the urgent need for our technology to improve outcomes in our health system while driving substantial cost savings. Our diagnostics help individualize and optimize care regardless of the source of the patient fluid derangement and numerous studies show the benefit of optimal volume management with our unique FDA-cleared, ISO 13485 certified BVA technology,” stated CEO Michael Feldschuh. “We look forward to the coming year with the synergy of commercial developments, clinical outcomes and awareness, and exciting next-generation products coming to market supported by strong partnerships.”
