EDINA, MN (February 9, 2023) – PetVivo Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: PETV and PETVW), an emerging biomedical device company focused on the commercialization of innovative medical therapeutics for animals, announces financial results for the third quarter of fiscal 2023. The Company began commercialization of its lead product Spryng™ with OsteoCushion™ Technology, a veterinarian-administered, intraarticular injection for the management of lameness and other joint afflictions such as osteoarthritis in dogs and horses in September 2021.

Management Commentary

 

John Lai, CEO, commented, “I’m excited about our team’s performance in the third quarter of fiscal 2023 highlighted by revenues of $510,109 as compared to $51,004 in the same period a year ago. Product shipments to MWI increased to $456,502 in the third quarter as compared to $118,264 in the second quarter of 2023. We are delighted with the sell-through of our products by MWI and will continue to educate and support MWI’s over 400 territory managers regarding our solution for treating horses and dogs which exhibit lameness due to synovial joint issues.

 

We continued to expand our national presence as highlighted by our attendance at the American Association of Equine Practitioners Annual Conference in November 2022 in which Dr. Joseph Manning, DVM, the Company’s Senior Technical Veterinarian presented on the use of Spryng™ with OsteoCushion™ Technology in “Managing Lameness and Joint Issues with Confidence”.

 

In January 2023, we entered into a lease agreement for approximately 14,000 square feet of production and warehouse space in Edina, Minnesota. This new facility will include multiple clean rooms for large-scale production of Spryng™ with OsteoCushion™ Technology as well as other medical devices and therapeutics in our product pipeline. We plan to move all of our production to this facility beginning in August 2023. We also raised approximately $1.4 million, after deducting transaction expenses, from the sale of 610,011 shares of our common stock in a registered direct offering at a price of $2.32 per share that closed in January 2023.
