ELECTROMED, INC. REPORTS FISCAL YEAR 2014 SECOND QUARTER RESULTS

 

New Prague, Minnesota – February 11, 2014 - Electromed, Inc. (NYSE MKT: ELMD) today announced financial results for the Company’s second quarter of fiscal 2014.

 

Net revenues in the quarter were approximately $3.50 million, a 9% decrease compared to $3.86 million in the same period of fiscal 2013. The Company reported a net loss of approximately $0.2 million, or three cents per basic and diluted share, for the second quarter of fiscal 2014, compared to a net loss of approximately $0.4 million, or five cents per basic and diluted share, for the same period of fiscal 2013.

 

The modest decline in total revenues in the second quarter of fiscal 2014 was attributable to lower average prices received from health care insurers due to their increased focus on controlling health care costs as well as more rigorous scrutiny by insurers of reimbursement requests for a wide range of medical devices and other health care products.

 

The decline in homecare revenue of approximately $0.4 million in the second quarter was partially offset by an increase in government/institutional revenue of $0.1 million compared to the same period of fiscal 2013. Gross margins in the second quarter rose to 72.1% as compared to 65.2% in the same period in the prior year. This was primarily due to the buildup of inventory in anticipation of the launch of the SmartVest SQL product for which we received FDA clearance in late December 2013. Overall, the smaller net loss in the second quarter was primarily due to the improved gross margins and lower operating expenses.

 

Operating expenses declined about $0.3 million compared with the second quarter of last year and were essentially flat as a percentage of sales due to the lower revenues in the second quarter of fiscal 2014 as compared to the second quarter of the prior year.

 

The Company had positive operating cash flow of approximately $0.4 million and increased its cash balance by approximately $0.2 million during the quarter.

 

Commenting on the Company’s results, Electromed 's Chief Executive Officer, Kathleen Skarvan said, “We continued to see pressure on our revenues in the second quarter of fiscal 2014 driven by uncertainty surrounding health care reform and the Affordable Care Act combined with ongoing efforts by health insurers to control costs. Despite these challenges, we reduced the reported net loss and added cash to the balance sheet and I am proud of the team for the progress they continue to make in improving the Company’s overall financial position.

On a very positive note, we announced the launch of the Company’s newest product, the SmartVest SQL, in late December and began shipping it to patients in mid-January. It is a significant step forward in high frequency chest wall oscillation therapy as it is smaller, lighter and quieter than our previous model, the SV2100. Patients have been asking for these improvements and we delivered with SQL. We believe it will make therapy adherence even easier, a goal long sought by physicians and clinicians.

 

While the environment remains challenging, we believe SQL gives us an advantage in competing for the attention of doctors, clinicians and patients. We will be rolling SQL out in the domestic HomeCare market as the third quarter progresses.”
