Stavros Vizirgianakis, President and Chief Executive Officer of Misonix stated, “Our fiscal 2019 first quarter demonstrated accelerating demand for our leading ultrasonic surgical products, reflecting the growing success of our direct sales team and the continued execution of our go-to-market strategies. Misonix generated 29% year-over-year growth in fiscal first quarter revenues to a record $9.4 million, while maintaining a healthy gross margin of approximately 70%. These factors drove a 30% rise in quarterly gross profit to $6.6 million.

“First quarter top-line growth reflects an 18% increase in consumables revenue and a 59% rise in equipment revenue. While some supply chain disruptions curtailed our ability to further increase revenue, we believe the growing demand for our products highlights the benefits of our ongoing investments in R&D, personnel and distribution logistics as well as the strong value proposition that our ultrasonic medical devices bring to physicians, hospitals and most importantly, patients.

“At September’s NASS Conference, we unveiled our new ultrasonic surgical platform, Nexus, which garnered strong industry feedback, providing us with added confidence in its potential and its ability to help us grow market share by addressing a broader range of procedures beyond those addressed by our current products. Nexus will present a highly compelling value proposition for hospitals and physicians given its ease of use, extensive functionalities and broad capabilities, and we remain on schedule for the commercial launch of the platform during the second half of fiscal 2019. While the development of Nexus led to higher year-over-year R&D expenses, we are confident the platform will be an important contributor to our long-term growth.

“In the coming quarters, we look to further leverage the meaningful company-wide investments and growth initiatives of the last several quarters, including expanding our in-house sales team, bringing Nexus to market and strengthening our supply chain and operational systems. With a healthy balance sheet and liquidity position, we are confident in our ability to continue to invest in our future and to leverage opportunities that create new value for our shareholders.”

Joe Dwyer, Chief Financial Officer, added, “Our fiscal 2019 first quarter results continue to demonstrate our ability to generate healthy revenue growth and improve our overall financial position, while maintaining a disciplined and focused approach that preserves our gross margin.

“We have undertaken initiatives to meet growing demand for our products and to reduce inefficiencies in our procurement and supply chain. In this regard, during the first quarter, we transitioned to a more capable and efficient ERP system and adopted new processes and procedures to ensure we have optimal inventory levels that better match with customer demand. We have also been actively working with our manufacturing partners to improve productivity and fill backlog orders.

“We are also focused on preserving our strong liquidity position, as we ended the quarter with $9.3 million in cash while continuing to operate debt free. We remain committed to growing the business through investments in both organic and inorganic growth initiatives that bring complementary capabilities to our product portfolio and generate attractive rates of returns for our shareholders. Looking ahead to the balance of fiscal 2019, we reiterate our guidance for product revenue growth that exceeds 20%, along with gross profit margins of approximately 70%.”

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company has presented the following non-GAAP financial measures in this press release: EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. The Company defines EBITDA as the net income (loss) as reported under GAAP, plus depreciation and amortization expense, interest expense and income tax expense (benefit). The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA plus non-cash stock compensation expense and engineering costs associated with its development of Nexus, its next generation platform, which will not be a recurring cost when the project is completed in the second half of fiscal 2019.

We present these non-GAAP measures because we believe these measures are useful indicators of our operating performance. Our management uses these non-GAAP measures principally as a measure of our operating performance and believes that these measures are useful to investors because they are frequently used by analysts, investors and other interested parties to evaluate the operating performance of companies in our industry. We also believe that these measures are useful to our management and investors as a measure of comparative operating performance from period to period.
