FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

 

Electromed, Inc. Announces Fiscal 2020 Fourth Quarter and Full Year Financial Results

 

-- Record profitability: diluted EPS of $0.47 in fiscal 2020 versus $0.23 in fiscal 2019 --

 

New Prague, Minnesota – August 25, 2020 – Electromed, Inc. (“Electromed” or the “Company”) (NYSE American: ELMD), a leader in innovative airway clearance technologies, today announced financial results for the three months ended June 30, 2020 (“Q4 FY 2020”).

 

Q4 FY 2020 Highlights

 

Net revenue decreased 20.1% to $6.9 million, from $8.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 (“Q4 FY 2019”), primarily due to industrywide disruption from the COVID-19 pandemic.

 

Operating income, which included $0.9 million of government stimulus income from the Provider Relief Fund established under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”), totaled $1.3 million, compared to $1.5 million in Q4 FY 2019.

 

Net income was $1.3 million, or $0.15 per diluted share, compared to $1.1 million, or $0.13 per diluted share, in Q4 FY 2019.

 

Cash as of June 30, 2020 was $10.5 million benefiting from $1.3 million in operating cash flow in Q4 FY 2020.

 

FY 2020 Highlights

 

Net revenue increased 3.7% to $32.5 million from $31.3 million during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019 (“FY 2019”).

 

Operating income grew 80.9% to $5.1 million, from $2.8 million in FY 2019.

 

Net income rose 110.1% to $4.2 million, or $0.47 per diluted share, from $2.0 million, or $0.23 per diluted share, in FY 2019.

 

Cash increased by $2.7 million during fiscal 2020, benefitting from $4.2 million in operating cash flow.

 

Kathleen Skarvan, President and Chief Executive Officer of Electromed, commented, “In fiscal 2020 we delivered revenue growth and record profitability, despite a challenging fourth quarter during which the COVID-19 pandemic significantly impacted our operating and financial results. Encouragingly, our home care referrals approached pre-COVID-19 levels as we exited the fourth quarter, in tandem with an uptick in the reopening of physician offices and related activities. I commend our entire Electromed team for their unwavering commitment to ensuring seamless manufacturing and delivery of SmartVest® Airway Clearance during these challenging times.”

 

Ms. Skarvan continued, “We expect continued uncertainty surrounding COVID-19 through fiscal 2021 that will continue to impact our financial and operational results. We believe we have a strong balance sheet and an extremely dedicated team, which will enable us to withstand this pandemic and pursue a greater share of the large, underpenetrated bronchiectasis market. Our priority continues to be the health, safety and wellbeing of our teammates, clinicians and patients, while executing on our organic growth strategy. With this in mind, we plan to continue investing in our business, serving patients by balancing virtual and in-person visits, and providing best-in-class customer service and delivering our differentiated SmartVest® Airway Clearance devices to drive long-term profitable growth.”

 

 

 

Q4 FY 2020 Review

 

Net revenue in Q4 FY 2020 decreased 20.1% to $6.9 million, from $8.6 million in Q4 FY 2019, primarily driven by lower home care revenue. Home care revenue declined 21.3% to $6.3 million from $8.0 million in Q4 FY 2019, primarily due to lower referrals driven by the COVID-19 pandemic. Field sales employees totaled 44, of which 37 were direct sales, at the end of Q4 FY 2020, compared to 40 at the end of Q4 FY 2019, of which 34 were direct sales. Annualized home care revenue was $678,000 per direct field sales employee, below our target productivity range of $750,000 - $850,000 due to the revenue decline associated with the COVID-19 pandemic. Institutional revenue decreased 25.9% to $273,000 from $368,000 in Q4 FY 2019, primarily due to a decrease in volume of devices and garments sold.

 

Gross profit in Q4 FY 2020 decreased 16.2% to $5.6 million, or 81.3% of net revenue, from $6.7 million, or 77.5% of net revenue, in Q4 FY 2019. The decrease in gross profit dollars was primarily due to the decrease in home care revenue driven by the COVID-19 pandemic. The increase in gross profit percentage was due to a higher mix of Medicare patients, in-sourcing of patient training activity and reduced warranty costs.

 

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses in Q4 FY 2020 decreased by $277,000 to $4.8 million from $5.1 million in Q4 FY 2019. The decline in SG&A spending was primarily due to lower incentive payments driven by lower home care revenue and reductions in travel expenses related to the COVID-19 pandemic. As a percentage of revenue, SG&A expenses were 69.7% compared to 59.0% in the same period in the prior year. Research and development expenses increased to $415,000 from $107,000 in Q4 FY 2019, in connection with the development of a next generation device. As a partial offset to our core operating expenses, we received and recognized $0.9 million of government stimulus from the Provider Relief Fund established under the CARES Act which is intended to offset losses in revenue and expenses Medicare fee-for-service providers incurred due to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.

 

Operating income totaled $1.3 million, compared to $1.5 million in Q4 FY 2019.

 

Net income before income taxes totaled $1.3 million compared to $1.5 million in Q4 FY 2019.

 

Net income was $1.3 million, or $0.15 per diluted share, compared to $1.1 million, or $0.13 per diluted share, in Q4 FY 2019. In Q4 FY 2020, income tax benefit totaled $9,000, compared to an income tax expense of $432,000 in the same period of the prior year. During Q4 FY 2020, a discrete tax benefit of $343,000 was recognized as a result of the exercise of outstanding stock options.

 

FY 2020 Summary

 

For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020, revenue grew 3.7% to $32.5 million, from $31.3 million in fiscal 2019, driven by $430,000 of incremental distributor revenue, a 24.7% increase in institutional revenue, and a 1.3% increase in home care revenue. Gross margins were 77.6%, compared to 76.2% in the prior fiscal year, while net income was $4.2 million, or $0.47 per diluted share, compared to $2.0 million, or $0.23 per diluted share, in fiscal 2019. The Company’s cash increased by $2.7 million, driven by $4.2 million of operating cash flow.
