Management Commentary

Mr. Louis Scafuri, Sofwave CEO commented, “Sofwave significantly grew revenues 34% in the first half of 2022 while garnering industry accolades for SUPERB™ lifting and wrinkle reduction technology. We are proud to have more than half of top ranking providers as users of Sofwave’s SUPERB medical aesthetic devices. Not only have they adopted SUPERB for use on their patients as an alternative to the shortfalls of aging, ablative treatment equipment but are now Key Opinion Leaders (KOLs) advocates of our treatment approach as well.“

“With half of the remaining fiscal reporting period to go, we have also surpassed the number of Sofwave treatments performed for the whole of fiscal 2021. We are also delighted to note our success in activating brand awareness and patient engagement campaigns across social media. As a critical part of our commercial growth strategy, we also seeded the necessary infrastructure to expand cross border sales in China, while supporting further market penetration in our core markets with headcount additions across key leadership and sales positions. Patient enrollment of our most recent clinical trial is now complete in the effort to expand into new indications while complementing our strong commercial framework,” concluded Mr. Scafuri.

“We continue to broaden the clinical indications of our SUPERB technology and are pleased to note that we completed the recruitment of patients in our multi-site US trial for treatment of cellulite. We believe that the unique advantages of SUPERB, clearly proven clinically and commercially in facial and neck treatments will also be demonstrated in our cellulite clinical data; and once cleared by the FDA will significantly expand the revenue streams of physicians using our technology,” noted Dr. Shimon Eckhouse, Chairman and co-founder.
