Misonix Reports Third Quarter Fiscal Year 2017 Financial Results

FARMINGDALE, N.Y., May 02, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Misonix, Inc. (Nasdaq:MSON), a provider of minimally invasive therapeutic ultrasonic medical devices that enhance clinical outcomes, announced today financial results for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2017.

Financial Highlights for the Third Quarter and Nine-Months:

  • For the third quarter of fiscal year 2017, the Company reported net sales of $7.2 million, an increase of 32% compared with $5.4 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2016. For the nine-month period, net sales increased 16% to $19.4 million compared with $16.7 million in the comparable 2016 period.
  • Domestic sales increased 31% to $4.0 million versus $3.1 million in third quarter of fiscal 2017. For the nine-month period, domestic sales increased 29% to $12.0 million compared with $9.3 million in the comparable 2016 period.
  • Consumables sales in the United States increased 39% to $3.7 million for the quarter.
  • During the quarter the Company delivered its initial equipment stocking order and completed product training with the personnel of its new distributor in China.
  • The gross profit percentage in the third quarter was 71%, up from 66% in the third quarter of fiscal 2016, primarily from a stronger mix of higher margin consumables revenue. For the quarter, operating expenses increased by $1.1 million to $6.5 million driven in part by professional fees relating to the recently completed internal investigation, along with higher sales commissions related to higher sales volumes.
  • The Company reported a net loss of $0.1 million, or $(0.02) per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $0.7 million, or $(0.09) per diluted share, in the third quarter of fiscal 2016.
  • At March 31, 2017, the Company maintained cash and cash equivalents of $11.9 million with no long-term debt.

Stavros Vizirgianakis, president and chief executive officer of Misonix, said, “We turned in a solid performance in the third quarter of fiscal 2017 driven by a 39% increase in domestic consumables sales and delivery of our initial stocking order to our new distributor in the People’s Republic of China. From a strategic standpoint, we firmly believe that our business in the United States offers the best opportunity for growth and we are focused on expanding consumables sales and driving recurring revenue in this market. To that end, we have expanded the number of Clinical Sales Specialists in our domestic sales and marketing group and the results to date have been excellent, as evidenced by the strong increase in domestic consumables sales in the third quarter.

“Internationally, significant progress has been achieved with our new distributor in China with the delivery of our initial equipment stocking order, and completing product training with their personnel. I believe both parties feel we are at the starting line of a significant opportunity in a rapidly growing market.”

Mr. Vizirgianakis continued, “We had a very favorable product mix during the quarter, which was weighted in higher margin consumables products. That favorable product mix drove gross margin for the third quarter to 70.6% compared to 65.7% in last year’s third quarter; a 490-basis point increase versus last year’s comparable quarter.”

“Heading into the fourth quarter of the fiscal year, we have a strong cash position of approximately $12 million, with no long-term debt. We look forward to a strong finish in fiscal year 2017, and to head into fiscal 2018 with momentum.”
