ELECTROMED, INC. REPORTS FISCAL YEAR 2013 THIRD QUARTER RESULTS
New Prague, Minnesota – May 14, 2013 – Electromed, Inc. (NYSE MKT: ELMD) today announced financial results for the three-month period ended March 31, 2013. Net revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2013, were approximately $3,199,000, a 33.0% decrease compared to net revenues of approximately $4,774,000 for the same period last year. The Company also announced net loss of approximately $431,000, or $(0.05) per basic and diluted share, for the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared to net income of approximately $95,000 or $0.01 per basic and diluted share, for the same period last year. The decrease in net income primarily resulted from a decrease in homecare revenue partially offset by decreases in expenses. The decrease in homecare revenue was caused by downward pressure on pricing and added administrative procedures implemented by third party payers in the insurance claims process which has lengthened the approval process. Although total revenue was down, the Company experienced growth in international revenue of $50,000 to $215,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013, as well as increases in government/institutional revenue of $124,000 to $373,000 compared to the same period last year.
Chief Executive Officer, Kathleen Skarvan said, “We believe we’ve hit the low watermark in terms of revenues and we are slowly seeing upward progress. While the beginning of calendar year 2013 continued to be a challenging selling and reimbursement environment, we achieved record referrals in the third quarter and approvals trended positively in the latter half of the quarter which speaks to the strength of our sales force and reimbursement teams. We see the positive momentum continuing into the fiscal fourth quarter and believe that the trend will continue into fiscal 2014.”

Results for the Three-Months Ended March 31, 2013

Gross profit decreased to approximately $2,442,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared to $3,369,000 or the same period in fiscal 2012. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue, however, increased to 76.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2013, from approximately 70.6% in the same period of 2012. The increase in gross profit percentage was the result of higher than average reimbursement from the mix of referrals during the three month period. Factors such as diagnoses that are not assured of reimbursement, insurance programs with lower allowable reimbursement amounts (for example, state Medicaid programs), and whether the patient meets prerequisite medical criteria for reimbursement, affect average reimbursement received on a short-term basis. These factors tend to fluctuate on a quarterly basis. During the quarter ended March 31, 2013, the Company continued to focus on cost efficiencies, which also contributed to the increase in gross profit percentage.
Operating expenses, which consist of selling, general, and administrative expenses and research and development expenses, were approximately $3,136,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013. Operating expenses remained relatively flat even with increases in staffing within the sales and reimbursement departments, as well as incurring additional professional fees. The Company was able to offset these increased costs by reducing certain operating expenses such as travel, meals and entertainment, marketing, advertising, and research and development.
Total cash and cash equivalents was approximately $505,000 as of March 31, 2013. For the three months ended March 31, 2013, net cash used in operating activities was approximately $212,000, composed primarily of a decrease in the Company’s accounts receivable, which was offset by increases in inventory, prepaid expenses and other assets and accounts payable and accrued liabilities. An aggregate of $233,000 was used for investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2013 for purchases of property and equipment and payment of trademark and patent costs. Cash used in financing activities was approximately $56,000, consisting of payments of line of credit, long-term debt and capital lease obligations. The Company believes it will be out of compliance with its existing debt covenants at June, 30, 2013, and therefore has classified the term note, with a December 2014 maturity date as a current liability. The bank has waived all existing covenant violations as of May 13, 2013. The Company is working with the bank and believes it will be able to successfully modify the covenants in the current debt agreement in order to be in compliance as of June 30, 2013.
“Our focus is on controlling costs more aggressively in the short term while implementing key strategies for growth both domestically and internationally,” noted Skarvan. “We are adapting quickly to the current economic and reimbursement environment by revising our processes and selling our product based on features and benefits that best serve our customers, with an emphasis on securing additional third-party payer contracts. By shifting to this strategy, we believe we will ultimately increase profitability.”

Exhibit 99.2
To Our Shareholders:
I am pleased to have this opportunity to update you on the progress we’ve made over the past few months. It is with great confidence and enthusiasm I can report that we had some early wins in the fiscal third quarter that have put Electromed, Inc. on a positive trajectory for the future. Key to these early wins and to restoring long-term profitability has been to return to our roots of patient advocacy and innovation. By recommitting to this focus, Electromed is positioning for the future. We believe we have seen the worst of the recent reimbursement environmental factors and are poised for growth as we exit the fiscal year.
We saw early successes during the quarter in both sales and operations. Electromed’s homecare referral and approval trends are up, which speaks to the strength of our sales force and reimbursement team. In fact, referrals were at a record high this quarter and approvals have trended up for three consecutive months. Further, we’ve seen an increase in international sales, up $50,000 to $215,000 compared to the same period a year ago, and driven by our new international sales manager who was brought on in January 2013. Institutional sales have increased $124,000 to $373,000 compared to the same period a year ago by adding pricing options in response to market conditions. We are pleased with this progress and confident in our future prospects.
Turning to financials, we believe we’ve hit the low watermark in terms of revenues and we are slowly seeing upward progress. While the beginning of calendar 2013 continued to be a challenging selling and reimbursement environment, we had modest, yet steady improvements in the latter half of the third quarter resolving certain third-party payer contracts. We see the positive momentum continuing into the fiscal fourth quarter and believe that the trend will continue into fiscal 2014.
We experienced significant gross margin expansion in the third quarter, as margins improved nearly six percentage points from prior year levels, to 76.3 percent. Additionally, our third-quarter net loss was stable compared to the prior quarter, which we believe demonstrates progress against our plan.
We maintain our focus on cost-containment to become a stronger, leaner and more efficient organization. For the nine months ended March 31, 2013 operating expenses were $9.2 million, compared to $10.1 million in the similar prior-year period. While year-over-year our expenses are down, net of one-time expense items in the fiscal third quarter of 2013, they are down significantly. Again, we believe this is early validation of the course we have set for Electromed. Let me reiterate, we are focused on returning this company to historical profitability levels and increasing shareholder value over the long-term. We believe we are gaining great traction on both fronts.
As you are aware, there was much confusion and speculation surrounding the medical device tax that took effect in January 2013. Based on our experience in the third quarter, and Electromed’s business model, we estimate the tax will be approximately 1.2 percent of revenue on a steady state basis. We don’t expect the tax to have a material impact on earnings.
I mentioned earlier that we are returning to our roots of patient advocacy and innovation – this means we are refocusing on patients, while transforming the business to align with the current HealthCare and reimbursement environment. The reimbursement situation has changed over the past few years but the Company didn’t initially adjust to the downward pricing pressure of the reimbursement market, which set us back. We now are revising our processes and selling our product based on features and benefits that best serve our customers, with an emphasis securing additional third-party payer contracts. By shifting to this strategy, we believe we will ultimately increase profitability.
Looking forward, we remain on track with our multi-pronged focus, which is:
· | Controlling expenses and returning to historical profitability |
· | Generating profitable revenue growth |
· | Increasing sales domestically and internationally |
· | Reinvigorating our legacy of innovation |
Our mission is a simple one: to make life’s important moments possible—one breath at a time. Our focus is clear – treating our customers, partners, employees and shareholders with integrity and respect. I am proud to be part of this noble mission and to be associated with this team of dedicated associates. We believe we have made great progress in positioning this company to take advantage of future growth opportunities and I look forward to updating you on our continued progress in the coming quarters.
Sincerely,
Kathleen Skarvan
Chief Executive Officer
