Conference call scheduled for 4:30 p.m. ET today, February 12th

GARDEN CITY, N.Y., Feb. 12, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Beyond Air, Inc. (NASDAQ: XAIR) (“Beyond Air” or the “Company”), a commercial stage medical device and biopharmaceutical company focused on harnessing the power of endogenous and exogenous nitric oxide (NO) to improve the lives of patients suffering from respiratory illnesses, neurological disorders and solid tumors (through its affiliate Beyond Cancer, Ltd. (“Beyond Cancer”)), today announced its financial results for the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2023.

“In the third quarter of fiscal year 2024, we reported solid sequential revenue growth of more than 60% compared with the second quarter. This increasing demand for our current LungFit PH system was seen even as we prepared to launch a key software update. As our inventory of upgraded LungFit PH grows, we expect to be able to meet accelerating demand over the next several quarters. This positive commercial traction gives us even more confidence in hitting our fiscal year 2025 sales guidance of $12 to $16 million,” said Steve Lisi, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Beyond Air. “The PMA supplement for the expansion of the LungFit PH label to include cardiac surgery was accepted for filing by the FDA in late-December and is currently under substantive review. FDA approval for this application should generate even broader use of LungFit PH in U.S. hospitals.”
