Misonix Reports Fiscal Year 2017 Financial Results

FARMINGDALE, N.Y., Aug. 22, 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 fourth quarter and fiscal year ended June 30, 2017.

Financial Highlights for the Fourth Quarter and the Full Year:

  • Revenue for fiscal year 2017 was $27.3 million, an increase of 18% compared with $23.1 million in fiscal 2016. For the fourth quarter, net sales increased 23% to $7.9 million compared with $6.4 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016.
  • Domestic sales in fiscal year 2017 increased 26% to $16.5 million versus $13.1 million in fiscal 2016. For the fourth quarter of fiscal 2017, domestic sales increased 18% to $4.4 million compared with $3.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2016.
  • Consumables sales in the United States increased 32% to $14.9 million for fiscal year 2017 compared with $11.3 million in fiscal 2016.
  • The gross profit margin for the fiscal year was 69.9% primarily from a strong mix of higher margin consumables, compared to 66.9% in fiscal year 2016. Fourth quarter gross profit margin was 69.9% versus 68.0% in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016.
  • For the fiscal year, operating expenses increased by $4.4 million to $25.7 million driven in part by professional fees relating to the recently completed internal investigation, along with higher sales commissions related to increased sales volume.
  • For fiscal year 2017, the Company reported a net loss of $1.7 million, or $(0.20) per diluted share, compared with a net loss of $1.2 million, or $(0.15) per diluted share, in fiscal year 2016.
  • At June 30, 2017, the Company had cash of $11.6 million with no long-term debt.

Stavros Vizirgianakis, president and chief executive officer of Misonix, said, “We concluded fiscal 2017 on a strong note with fourth quarter revenue increasing 23%, and 18% for the full year as our recurring revenue business model continues to gain traction. Consumables sales, which we define as recurring revenue, accounted for approximately 75% of total sales. Gross margin for the fiscal year was 69.9% up from 66.9% in the previous year.

“Our U.S. business, which we believe offers the best opportunity for growth, grew 26% on a year-over-year basis and accounted for 60% of total revenue. We are making sustainable progress in reigniting the Misonix growth engine.

“One of the contributing factors in the growth of fiscal 2017 revenue has been the addition of new Clinical Sales Specialists to support the sales activities of our distribution channel. Although the second half of the fiscal year is traditionally the strongest for our business, the additional support provided to our distributors generated strong double-digit revenue increases in both the third and fourth quarters of fiscal 2017. We are pleased with the progress achieved to this point.”

Mr. Vizirgianakis continued, “On the international front, we are making necessary changes in distributors and personnel to operate the business more efficiently. Going forward, we will focus on contracting with in-country distributors in the key markets where we believe we can build sustainably growing operations that adhere to single-use of consumable products in surgical procedures.

“As we move ahead, we are working to create a new results-oriented culture within the Company. We have simplified our sales compensation plan with the goal of getting everyone on equal footing and pursuing common goals. In fiscal 2017 Misonix consumables products were used in more than 50,000 surgical procedures worldwide. We have set an aggressive goal of having Misonix consumables products utilized in 100,000 annual surgical procedures worldwide within the next three years. We are dedicated to achieving that goal.

“We enter the new fiscal year with a strong cash position, in excess of $11 million, and no long-term debt. We look forward to the opportunities ahead in fiscal 2018.”
