Sacha Loiseau, Ph.D., Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Mauna Kea Technologies declared: "Almost 12 months ago, Mauna Kea launched a strategy shift intended to both increase the global reach of Cellvizio and improve Mauna Kea's financial performance. Today's results represent an important and successful step towards the execution of the Company's partnership strategy, and additional evidence that worldwide clinical adoption of Cellvizio is increasing. Given our accelerating revenue growth, strategic partnerships with Cook Medical and Fujifilm China, our strengthened management team and the passionate commitment of all our employees, I am increasingly confident in our ability to make Cellvizio a must-have as the leading option for real-time cellular and molecular diagnosis of disease and an essential technology for a broad range of medical and surgical interventions."

Benoit Jacheet, Chief Financial Officer of Mauna Kea Technologies, stated, "Solid sales growth in the second quarter reflects both the maturation of our strategic partnerships with Cook Medical and Fujifilm China as well as strong growth in clinical procedures with existing customers, as seen in the 42% growth in the number of probe reorders. Of note, while the 5 consignment system shipments in the quarter reduced reported revenue, they provided our U.S. sales team the opportunity to gain access to important new customer sites at attractive overall economics. On the balance sheet, improving operating efficiencies during the first half of the year and the financial benefits of a more capital efficient selling model helped to significantly reduce our cash burn by 46% (cash flows from operating and investing activities, excluding financing). As of June 30 2016, the company's cash balance totaled €5.7 million."
The company recorded solid growth in the Asia-Pacific region with significant sales momentum in China, reflecting an additional Chinese FDA clearance obtained in December 2015, as well as growth in Japan and Taiwan. Sales in the EMEA region more than doubled while sales in the Americas region decreased, reflecting the Company's emphasis on growing its installed base among high volume users through its consignment model.
