Full-year 2020 revenues are expected to be approximately $8.5 million, a decrease of approximately 17% compared to the year ended December 31, 2019.“As we have referenced previously, COVID-19’s impact on our revenues was significant in 2020, particularly with respect to new customer acquisition, emergency outbreak response, and hotel and restaurant sales,” said Andy Astor, President and CEO of Nephros. “As the world has begun to adapt to the pandemic, however, our revenues have consistently improved, with sequential quarter-over-quarter gains in both Q3 and Q4.
