FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Electromed, Inc. Announces Fiscal 2017 First Quarter Financial Results
- Boosts R&D Investment to Develop Wireless Connectivity
for the SmartVest® SQL® AirWay Clearance System
New Prague, Minnesota – November 8, 2016 – Electromed, Inc. (“Electromed” or “the Company”) (NYSE MKT: ELMD), a leader in innovative airway clearance technologies, today announced financial results for its fiscal 2017 first quarter (“Q1 FY 2017”) ended September 30, 2016.
Q1 FY 2017 Highlights
· | Net revenues increased 10.9% to $5.5 million from $5.0 million in Q1 FY 2016. |
· | Gross profit rose 12.1% to $4.3 million from $3.9 million in Q1 FY 2016. |
· | Investment in research and development increased to $351,000 from $42,000 in Q1 FY 2016. |
· | Operating income declined to $289,000 from $585,000 in Q1 FY 2016, primarily reflecting higher investment in R&D and increased SG&A expense to support the growth of the business, partially offset by higher home care revenues and lower cost of sales. |
· | Net income totaled $191,000, or $0.02 per diluted share, compared to $341,000, or $0.04 per diluted share, in Q1 FY 2016. |
· | Commenced development of an innovative wireless connectivity and reporting solution to improve therapy adherence; beta testing expected to begin in January 2017. |
· | Increased field sales staff to 31 at the end of Q1 FY 2017 from 29 at the end of Q1 FY 2016 to further enhance growth. |
Subsequent Events
· | Introduced new color options for SmartVest® garments and SmartVest SQL® generators. |
Kathleen Skarvan, President and Chief Executive Officer of Electromed, commented, “We are pleased to follow up a record FY 2016 revenue year with 10.9% growth in Q1 FY 2017 revenue, profitable operations, and a commitment to investing in our future growth in the areas of personnel, product evolution, marketing, and efficiency improvements. Both revenue and referrals accelerated on a month-to-month basis throughout Q1 FY 2017 and we ended September 2016 with the highest level of referrals in our history. While quarterly revenue may fluctuate based on the referral mix of payers, among other factors, we believe that our ongoing efforts will translate into continuing growth during FY 2017.”
Ms. Skarvan continued, “In Q1 FY 2017, we boosted investment in product innovation and personnel, reflecting our strong optimism about the significant market opportunity for our SmartVest® Airway Clearance System in high frequency chest wall oscillation (“HFCWO”) therapy. In late FY 2016, we commenced development of an exciting new wireless connectivity feature that we believe will strengthen our patient and clinician partnerships, leading to greater therapy adherence and improved quality of life for individuals with compromised pulmonary function. We expect to launch this solution prior to the end of FY 2017. In response to patient feedback, in October 2016 we introduced new color options for our SmartVest garments and SmartVest SQL generators. We believe that these advancements, combined with SmartVest’s light weight, quiet operation and ease-of-use, will promote greater patient acceptance and satisfaction. We also continued to recruit, hire and train additional sales staff to increase awareness of SmartVest’s advantages and further penetrate domestic regions, particularly in higher populated metropolitan areas.”
Development of Wireless Connectivity for the SmartVest SQL AirWay Clearance System
Electromed is developing the SmartVest SQL Airway Clearance System to include wireless connectivity for integration with interactive dashboard applications to encourage patient engagement with HFCWO therapy and promote adherence to prescribed treatment. The SmartVest System with wireless connectivity will allow data connection between physicians and patients with impaired airway clearance, offering real-time visibility to HFCWO treatment information to better collaborate in making patient-centered care decisions. Electromed will pilot the integrated SmartVest System the second half of fiscal year 2017, with planned expansion prior to the end of the fiscal year.
Q1 FY 2017 Review
Net revenues in Q1 FY 2017 increased 10.9% to $5.5 million from $5.0 million in Q1 FY 2016, driven by strong results in the home care market where revenue increased by 14.4%, or $0.6 million, compared to Q1 FY 2016. Home care sales increased primarily due to a higher average rate of reimbursement per approval, an increase in referrals and an increase in approvals from third-party payers as a result of continued improvements in our reimbursement operations.
Gross profit in Q1 FY 2017 rose 12.1% to $4.3 million from $3.9 million in Q1 FY 2016, driven by an increase in domestic home care revenue, higher average selling price per unit, and a decrease in the Company’s manufacturing costs of the SmartVest SQL. Gross margin in Q1 FY 2017 increased to 78.1% from 77.2% in Q1 FY 2016, primarily reflecting higher average selling price per unit and a decrease in our manufacturing costs of the SmartVest SQL as compared to the prior fiscal year.
Operating expenses, which include selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) as well as research and development (“R&D”) expenses, totaled $4.0 million, or 72.8% of revenue, in Q1 FY 2017 compared with $3.3 million, or 65.5% of revenue, in the same period of the prior year. SG&A expenses increased 14.1% to $3.7 million in Q1 FY 2017 from $3.2 million in Q1 FY 2016, primarily due to higher payroll and compensation-related expenses, higher professional fees, and increased travel, meals and entertainment expenses. R&D expenses increased to $351,000 in Q1 FY 2017 from $42,000 in Q1 FY 2016, primarily driven by incremental investment in the Company’s wireless connectivity project.
Operating income in Q1 FY 2017 declined to $289,000 from $585,000 in Q1 FY 2016, reflecting higher operating expenses, which were partially offset by higher revenue and gross profit.
Net income before income tax expense in Q1 FY 2017 was $272,000, compared to $565,000 in Q1 FY 2016. In Q1 FY 2017, the Company reported income tax expense of $81,000, compared to $224,000 in the same period of the prior year.
The Company reported net income of $191,000, or $0.02 per basic and diluted share, in Q1 FY 2017, compared to $341,000, or $0.04 per basic and diluted share, in Q1 FY 2016.

Electromed’s balance sheet at September 30, 2016 included cash and cash equivalents of $3.8 million, long-term debt of $1.1 million, working capital of $13.2 million, and stockholders’ equity of $16.7 million.
