$NNOX (Nanox): A developmental-stage 2020 IPO disrupting radiology via innovation, savings, convenience & impactful vertical integration.

Unsurprisingly... a @JoeySolitro pick.

‘Tis time for a thread 🙂
The problem?

X-rays/MRIs/CT scans are only accessible for 1/3 of the world due to extremely high cost.

The remaining 2/3? Often wait several weeks for a time slot and several more weeks for diagnosis.

When something is wrong, these weeks can be quite important.
$NNOX breakthrough:

“X-ray tubes sourced from digital microelectromechanical system (MEMs) cathodes using semiconductors that achieve same function as legacy X-ray analog cathodes & allows for far lower-cost.”

What the heck does that mean? A whole lot 🙂👇
1. $NNOX improves cost & access

Its X-ray tubes rely on semiconductors NOT extreme heat for energy

Meaning:

a) no need to constantly replace $150k damaged tubes

+

b) no need to cool machine

=

Creation of imaging machine (Nanox.Arc) far more affordable using X-ray tube IP.
It shows:

Traditional Machines: Millions of dollars & 150k per frequent X-ray tube replacement

$NNOX will sell its machines using its tube IP for 8k-12k 👀👀

Looks to me like the $NNOX imaging is slightly better as well far cheaper.
2. $NNOX improves dangerous time delays:

http://Nanox.cloud  software allows images taken to be uploaded & stored immediately

Enables remote access to radiologists & real-time diagnostics👀👀👀

Connects imaging to diagnostic for completing a weeks-long-process w/in a day.
3. Nanox can improve imaging safety:

$NNOX ‘s proprietary X-ray IP uses digital tech rather than traditional analog tech.

Importantly, this enables on/off toggling of electron beams on demand (things that power the X-ray).

This means less radiation exposure for you & me.
4. Another fix brought to you by Nanox:

Its tube IP can photograph both bones & tissue.

That means...

Can replace both X-ray & MRI tech! 👀

Radiology has barely evolved in 100 yrs. $NNOX is poised to be quite disruptive.
A quadruple whammy of value creation:

1) cheaper imaging & maintenance
2) integrates imaging & diagnosis to bolster speed & access to docs
3) less radiation exposure
4) Same IP for both MRI & X-ray
Planned rev streams

1) Mainly subscription (sub)

Paid per image. Leveraging lower cost to scale distribution & undercut alternatives👏

2) Sales

Sell machines outright 👎 (only for China)

3) Licensing

retrofitting X-ray tube to traditional hardware (transition phase)👍
Note:

It calls its main sub rev model “Medical screening as a service” (MAaaS)

A little clichè but the cost, access, timeliness, & recurring nature of revenue are all palpable
An order book... already:

1,000 machines ordered by groups in New Zealand, Norway & Australia. Order worth $174M

Tele-radiology company in USA (USARAD) ordered 3,000 machines.

$SKM plans to deploy 2,500 machines in S Korea & Vietnam.

ALL PENDING APPROVAL
Competitors?

“Some companies have made X-ray achievements using a similar approach. Nobody has achieved a commercially stable source that can be embedded inside an imaging system & operate w/an acceptable lifespan”

Co-founder Hitoshi Masuya
Speaking of leadership:

Hitoshi Masuya still very involved

CEO & co-founder Ran Poliakline:

Founder of Powermat (wireless charging pioneer)

Powermat partners include $GM $T $PG

CTO Yoel Raab:

Former $INTC exec

CFO Itzhak Maayan:

Formerly in fin leadership role w/ $CSCO
Any notable investors?

$FUJIY, Foxconn, and $SKM all have equity stakes and partnerships w/ $NNOX
Takeaway:

High risk & upside.

Set to disrupt $21B industry serving 1/3 the 🌎.

Nanox.Arc & cloud could save & improve countless lives... while making a lot of money.

Win win.

Approval makes this thrive.

No approval makes this a 0.
Colleagues @themotleyfool always say if it works you’ll only need a little... if it doesn’t you’ll only want a little.

I bought a little 🙂. Will most likely buy a little more over time.
