Kathleen Skarvan, President and Chief Executive Officer of Electromed, commented, “In our fiscal third quarter we reported strengthening revenue and net income growth, driven by a 13.5% year-over-year increase in home care sales, reflecting solid performance by our sales and reimbursement teams. We are pleased with our team’s progress as well as the ongoing execution of our growth strategies. We expanded our sales staff, increased payer coverage, won market share, boosted awareness of clinical evidence of bronchiectasis patient outcomes with our solution and advanced product innovations. We are particularly encouraged by the overwhelmingly positive feedback we received from clinicians participating in our SmartVest Connect® wireless connectivity beta testing program this quarter. Finally, we were thrilled to announce our agreement with Monaghan Medical Corporation in February to distribute and sell the Aerobika® Oscillating Positive Expiratory Pressure (OPEP) Device in the U.S. homecare market. With Aerobika OPEP and SmartVest devices, Electromed now offers a continuum of airway clearance therapies for patients to use in their home.”
Ms. Skarvan continued, “We look forward to the commercial launch of our SmartVest Connect® wireless connectivity solution this summer and believe its ease of use will appeal to both clinicians and patients, fostering improved therapy adherence and better patient outcomes. In addition to launching this important connectivity and reporting feature, we intend to continue to invest in the growth of our business by expanding our sales force in the coming quarters, while focusing on sales productivity improvements among current staff. We remain excited about the significant, underpenetrated bronchiectasis market opportunity and dedicated to improving our patients’ quality of life with SmartVest® Airway Clearance while reducing overall healthcare utilization.”
Q3 FY 2017 Review
Net revenue increased 10.5% to $6.7 million in Q3 FY 2017 from $6.0 million in Q3 FY 2016, driven by higher home care revenue. Home care revenue rose 13.5% to $6.1 million in Q3 FY 2017 from $5.4 million in Q3 FY 2016, primarily due to an increase in approvals and referrals, driven by a higher number of field sales employees.
Gross profit increased 14.8% to $5.3 million, or 79.7% of net revenue, in Q3 FY 2017 from $4.6 million, or 76.7% of net revenue, in Q3 FY 2016. The increase in gross profit resulted from increases in domestic home care revenues 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 $4.3 million, or 64.1% of revenue, in Q3 FY 2017 compared with $3.9 million, or 64.5% of revenue, in the same period of the prior year. SG&A expenses increased 10.2% to $4.2 million in Q3 FY 2017 from $3.8 million in Q3 FY 2016, primarily due to higher payroll and compensation-related expenses and increased travel, meals and entertainment expenses. R&D expenses totaled $81,000 in Q3 FY 2017 compared to $84,000 in Q3 FY 2016.
Operating income increased 40.9% to $1.0 million in Q3 FY 2017 from $736,000 in Q3 FY 2016, primarily due to increased gross profit, which was partially offset by higher payroll and compensation expenses in sales and administrative positions.
Net income before income tax expense rose 42.3% to $1.0 million in Q3 FY 2017 from $723,000 in Q3 FY 2016.
Net income increased 38.9% to $648,000, or $0.08 per basic and diluted share, in Q3 FY 2017, from $467,000, or $0.06 per basic and diluted share, in Q3 FY 2016. In Q3 FY 2017, income tax expense totaled $380,000, compared to $256,000 in the same period of the prior year.
Year-to-Date FY 2017 Summary
For the nine months ended March 31, 2017, revenue increased 7.4% to $18.6 million from $17.3 million in the same period of fiscal 2017. Gross margins were 78.4%, compared to 77.4% in the same period of the prior year, while net income was $1.3 million, or $0.15 per diluted share, compared to $1.9 million, or $0.23 per diluted share in the same period of the prior year.
