Encision Reports Third Quarter Fiscal Year 2022 Results

Boulder, Colorado, February 10, 2022 -- Encision Inc. (PK:ECIA), a medical device company owning patented Active Electrode Monitoring (AEM®) Technology that prevents dangerous radiant energy burns in minimally invasive surgery, today announced financial results for its fiscal 2022 third quarter that ended December 31, 2021.

 

The Company posted quarterly net revenue of $1.94 million for a quarterly net loss of $16 thousand, or $0.00 per diluted share. These results compare to net revenue of $2.16 million for a quarterly net income of $599 thousand, or $0.05 per diluted share, in the year-ago quarter. Net income in last year’s quarter included $599 thousand of extinguishment of debt income. Gross margin on net revenue was 52% in the fiscal 2022 third quarter and 51% in the fiscal 2021 third quarter.

 

The Company posted nine months net revenue of $6.07 million for a nine months net income of $337 thousand, or $0.03 per diluted share. Net income included extinguishment of debt income. These results compare to nine months net revenue of $5.39 million for a nine months net income of $469 thousand, or $0.04 per diluted share, in the year-ago nine months. Net income included extinguishment of debt income. Gross margin on net revenue was 49% in the fiscal 2022 nine months and 51% in the fiscal 2021 nine months. Gross margin in the fiscal 2022 nine months was lower due to higher material costs.

“Total revenue, which included service revenue, decreased 10% from our third quarter revenue of last year,” said Gregory Trudel, President and CEO of Encision Inc. “COVID reduced total surgical procedures and our revenues suffered as a result. We continue to be positive as we assess and navigate the ups and downs of the pandemic market and continuously look for opportunities to serve our customers and to drive adoption. Our sales and marketing efforts are yielding new customers for our EnTouchâ 2X Scissors and we look forward to their contributions as the market bounces back.”

“Service revenue for our third quarter of fiscal 2022 resulted from services performed under a Master Services Agreement with Auris Health, Inc. (“Auris Health”), a part of the Johnson & Johnson family of companies. Under the agreement, we are collaborating on the integration of AEM Technology into monopolar instrumentation produced by Auris Health for advanced surgical applications. This work is ongoing and is reported separately, as service revenue, in our Statement of Operations.”

“In August 2021, we signed a Supply Agreement with Auris Health. During the term of the agreement, Auris has agreed to buy certain AEM® Technology enabled products exclusively from us. We are proud of being awarded this agreement and look forward to our continued relationship with Auris.”

 

Encision Inc. designs and markets a portfolio of high-performance surgical instrumentation that delivers advances in patient safety with AEM technology, surgical performance, and value to hospitals across a broad range of minimally invasive surgical procedures. Based in Boulder, Colorado, the company pioneered the development and deployment of Active Electrode Monitoring, AEM technology, to eliminate dangerous stray energy burns during minimally invasive procedures.
