Nephros Reports Second Quarter 2018 Financial Results

Quarterly Product Revenue Up 55% Year-over-Year; Total Revenue Up 59%

Company Plans Uplist to National Stock Exchange

Conference Call Scheduled for Today, August 8, 2018, at 4:30 PM EDT

SOUTH ORANGE, N.J., Aug. 08, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Nephros, Inc. (OTCQB: NEPH) (“Nephros”), a commercial stage medical device company that develops and sells high performance liquid purification ultrafilters and an on-line mid-dilution hemodiafiltration system for use with a hemodialysis (HD) machine for the treatment of patients with End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD), today announced financial results for the three months ended June 30, 2018.

“Today’s results represent our eighth consecutive quarter of year-over-year revenue growth averaging 59%,” said Daron Evans, President and CEO. “We believe this consistent growth in our ultrafilter solutions reflects increasing confidence from both our customers and our valued distribution partners, and we are confident that we are strongly positioned for the future.”

Nephros also announced plans today to pursue listing on a national stock exchange. As part of this effort and in order to satisfy stock price listing criteria, Nephros intends to initiate a reverse split of its common stock in approximately thirty days.

“Given our growth and strong balance sheet, we have begun the process of uplisting to a national stock exchange,” said Andy Astor, CFO. “An uplist is likely to increase the visibility and liquidity of Nephros’s stock, with a broader audience of additional investors who will be able to consider investing in Nephros.”

Financial Performance for the Quarter Ended June 30, 2018

Product revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2018 were approximately $1,216,000, compared to approximately $785,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2017, an increase of approximately $431,000, or 55%.
