New York, NY - On May 10, 2013, Taglich Brothers released an updated research report on Novadaq Technologies Inc. (NVDQ) and reiterated a Buy rating with the 12-month price target raised to $15.10 per share from $11.60 due to higher sector and stock valuations. The report noted the following key investment considerations:
• Reconstructive, cardiac and urological surgery markets have been penetrated to an extent that has madeNovadaq cash flow positive. Revenue earned in these markets should be well sustained even as Novadaq independently commercializes its SPY-based PINPOINT® and LUNA™ technologies during the next year.
• Having raised more than $90 million through common stock sales since April 2012, Novadaq is well funded and is strongly positioned to pursue development and commercialization of new SPY applications.
• Despite strong revenue gains, profitability could be elusive due to heavy spending on development and launch costs for PINPOINT and LUNA. But if these new products are accepted as readily as SPY was in the breast reconstruction and cardiology markets, the company could potentially turn profitable by 2015.
• Our $34.2 million 2013 revenue forecast is unchanged but we now project a wider loss due in anticipation of heavy R&D and sales/marketing spending. We project a loss of ($0.07) per share on revenue of $34.2 million. In 2014, the revenue should increase dramatically, narrowing the company’s loss considerably.
• For 1Q13 (results released Apr. 29, 2013) Novadaq reported a loss of $2.9 million, or ($0.07) per share, on revenue of $7.3 million. Excluding warrant revaluations, NVDQ lost ($0.02) per share. We projected a loss of ($0.03) per share on revenue of $7.2 million. In the year-earlier quarter, the company lost ($0.03) a share (before warrant revaluations) on revenue of $4.8 million.

Company Description:
Novadaq has commercialized SPY Imaging, a patented visualization technology that enables surgeons to monitor circulation and tissue perfusion intraoperatively, facilitating surgical mapping and revisions during major procedures. The technology can also visualize lymphatic systems, potentially detecting the extent of lymph node involvement in cancer cases, and differentiate between normal and cancerous tissue on the margins of a surgical resection.
Recent studies have demonstrated improvements in surgical outcomes, reductions in post-operative complications and cost savings stemming from the adoption of fluorescence angiography. These results should underlie wide acceptance of Novadaq’s SPY systems, which are adaptable for use in a wide variety of major surgeries. SPY systems have so far been used widely in post-mastectomy breast reconstruction and coronary artery bypass graft procedures. Variants of SPY have been developed for use in urological, gastrointestinal, and organ transplant procedures. The technology has also been refined by Novadaq for use in a number of open, minimally invasive, and robotic surgical procedures.
Novadaq’s growth strategy is based in part on strategic partnerships, the first of which, with Intuitive Surgical, could potentially boost revenue substantially in 2010.
