This is a small company in the medical sector, so there’s a big risk, but also potentially a big reward. Familiarize yourself thoroughly with the company before investing.
According to the company, Vivos Therapeutics offers the only curative treatment for sleep apnea, excluding treatments requiring surgery. The company’s main market is currently the United States and Canada, but the company also has small-scale sales worldwide.
To the layman’s eye, the company’s main product is an FDA-approved device resembling braces, whose purpose is to reshape the jaw and teeth area so that airflow in the throat can flow better.
The company’s business model is to get dentists to become providers of Vivos products, for which dentists have to pay an average of $28,000 in total (there are different levels of “memberships”). Dentists thus handle their sales work to patients, and Vivos gets a share of each dental device the dentist sells to their patient. In addition, Vivos has various billing fees and other accompanying charges, but the revenues generated from these are still small but growing.
Competitors are relatively few and focus either on curative treatments requiring surgery, or on various breathing devices that usually have to be used for the rest of one’s life, and which do not cure the patient’s condition but only treat it.
Revenue is still small and there are no 100% guarantees of growth, but the steps look good, and the company has secured capital to support growth.
The company was listed in December 2020, so its stock market journey has been short and very bearish, as can be seen from the share price development.
The company’s financial situation is good with 34.2 million USD at the end of Q2 and almost debt-free. The latest directed offering was made in May 2021, raising 27.6 million at a share price of 6 dollars, without warrants.
It’s worth checking out the company presentation available on the company’s website; it can only be accessed after entering your information. In addition, the Seeking Alpha article explains this investment case well.
Q3 report expectations:
- Sales of new products, potentially strong growth (Vivoscore, Myocorrect)
- Possible FDA approval of a new modified dental device (Will lead to more comprehensive insurance coverage)
- Attracting larger clients: “We have recently begun an active outreach to the DSO industry. DSOs, or Dental Support Organizations, own and operate thousands of dental practices throughout the U.S. and Canada. Very few DSOs have successfully implemented a dental sleep management program, although several have tried. Our management team’s extensive DSO experience gives us a huge advantage in penetrating this market. Not only do we personally know the key players, but we have also specifically designed our model to seamlessly integrate and thrive within the corporate DSO environment. The initial response from the DSO community has been extremely positive, and we are working very closely with a number of these companies to initiate pilot tests within certain target markets.”
There is a lot to tell about the company, and not all of it fit into this introduction. Happy reading to those interested!
