PERIMETER MEDICAL IMAGING AI REPORTS FOURTH QUARTER AND YEAR-END 2023 FINANCIAL RESULTS AND PROVIDES CORPORATE UPDATE

Perimeter Medical Imaging AI Inc. has released its financial results for the quarter and year ended Dec. 31, 2023, and provided a corporate update.

Adrian Mendes, Perimeter's chief executive officer, stated: "Reflecting on 2023, I am proud of the considerable progress made since I joined the company midyear. After conducting a thorough analysis of the business, we focused on four main areas of improvement: strengthening the company's infrastructure to support our planned growth; redeploying clinical education resources to support commercial activities; developing clear road maps for our next-gen AI and non-AI products; and accelerating our clinical development plans. In particular, we successfully implemented an enhanced AI algorithm in our ongoing clinical trial evaluating Perimeter's proprietary, investigational B-Series OCT imaging technology combined with ImgAssist, an AI-driven clinical decision support system created to enhance productivity and decision making in breast cancer surgery margin assessment."

Mr. Mendes continued: "As we enter 2024, patient enrolment is outpacing our original projections for our pivotal clinical trial. We continue to execute on our go-to-market strategy to 'seed the market' by adding surgeon champions and reference sites for our S-Series OCT technology, in support of our goal to broaden the user base after our proprietary AI is approved in a breast cancer indication. In addition, our pipeline of product innovations is growing, with several new product introductions and AI enhancements anticipated this year. This is an exciting time at Perimeter, as we solidify our position in our first market, expand our product portfolio and explore opportunities for market expansion, including additional cancer indications."

Highlights from 2023:

  • Advanced continuing clinical trial to reach important milestones, including the introduction of enhanced AI (artificial intelligence) software and initiation of additional clinical trial sites at Mayo Clinic in Florida and University of Washington/Fred Hutch Cancer Center in Seattle, Wash., in support of accelerating patient enrolment;
  • Built momentum within the company's network of expert adopters of its commercial Perimeter S-Series OCT and added additional clinical education support staff to remove identified bottlenecks in the sales cycle;
  • Strengthened Perimeter's leadership, adding to the world-class medtech and AI experience on both the board and executive teams.
