BIONIK Laboratories Reports Fiscal 2021 Financial Results
TORONTO & BOSTON - BIONIK Laboratories Corp. (OTCQB:BNKL), a robotics company focused on providing rehabilitation and assistive technology solutions to individuals with neurological and mobility challenges from hospital to home, today reported financial results for its fourth quarter and fiscal year 2021, for the periods ended March 31, 2021.
“We are starting to see an uptick in commercial sales as we put fiscal 2021 behind us. The fourth quarter was our strongest quarter for fiscal 2021 as we are starting to see less impact from the COVID-19 pandemic with our clients. This growth is driven by our InMotion® robot sales in the U.S. as well as our InMotion Connect® digital solutions sales from one of our strategic partners. Also, BIONIK is continuing to pursue its solutions development by building a machine learning prototyping model, a first step to a machine learning platform, which leverages big data collected in real-time in the rehabilitation facilities using our products,” said Dr. Eric Dusseux, Chief Executive Officer, BIONIK.
Fourth Quarter and Recent Corporate Highlights:
● Three units were shipped during the quarter.
● Bionik implemented a machine learning prototype predictive model for the classification of the level of responsiveness of the InMotion® therapy outcomes. This solution was developed with Bitstrapped, a Toronto-based data engineering firm specializing in machine learning infrastructure through their partnership with Google Cloud Platform. This prototype enables BIONIK to continually train the model on InMotion Connect anonymized data collected in real-time in rehabilitation facilities and track improvements in performance.
● On a GAAP basis, our operating expenses decreased $15.9 million or 92%, due to the impairment of our goodwill and other intangible assets that occurred in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020.
● On a non-GAAP basis, excluding the impairment and amortization of intangibles, fourth quarter operating expenses decreased by $1.9 million, or 60%, from the prior year period as we continue to drive our costs down from navigating the effects of the global pandemic.
● The Small Business Administration (“SBA”) has allowed for forgiveness of the Company’s PPP Loan and interest for $0.5 million in May 2021.
Fourth Quarter Financial Results:
Fourth quarter total revenues decreased 50% to $0.5 million, compared with $0.9 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2020, driven by a reduction in the units sold in the fourth quarter ended March 31, 2021 as compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2020.
Fourth quarter gross profit decreased to $0.3 million, compared to $0.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2020. The decrease is due to the reduced number of units sold from the quarter ended March 31, 2021 as compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2020. The overall gross margin was up from 64.2% for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 to 72.5% for the quarter ended March 31, 2021.
Total operating expenses were $1.3 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021 compared to $17.2 million in the prior year fourth quarter, a decrease of $15.9 million, or 92%. This decrease was primarily driven by the impairment charge to our intangible assets associated with a decrease in the fair value that occurred in the quarter ended March 31, 2020. On a non-GAAP basis, excluding the impairment and amortization of our intangibles, our operating expenses decreased $1.9 million, or 60%, primarily due to a reduction in personnel costs associated with reduced headcount due to the global pandemic as well as lower share-based compensation expense.
BIONIK recorded a net loss of $1.0 million, or ($0.20) per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $16.5 million, or ($3.23) per diluted share, in the same period for fiscal 2020. On a non-GAAP basis, excluding non-cash unrealized foreign exchange measurement gains and losses and impairment and amortization of intangibles, fourth quarter net loss was $1.0 million, or a loss of ($0.19) per diluted share, compared with a loss of $2.6 million, or a loss of ($0.51) per diluted share, in the same period for fiscal 2020.

To supplement our consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, BIONIK uses non-GAAP loss from operations, non-GAAP net loss and non-GAAP diluted net loss per share. The presentation of this financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measures included in this press release exclude costs associated with the amortization and impairment of intangible assets acquired, as well as unrealized foreign exchange gains or losses for the three months and year ended March 31, 2021 and 2020. This exclusion may be different from, and therefore not comparable to, similar measures used by other companies.
BIONIK’s management believes that the non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance by excluding amortization, impairment and foreign exchange costs that may not be indicative of our core business operating results. BIONIK believes that both management and investors benefit from referring to the non-GAAP financial measures in assessing BIONIK’s performance and when planning, forecasting and analyzing future periods. BIONIK also believes that the non-GAAP measures are useful to investors in allowing for greater transparency with respect to supplemental information used by management in our financial and operational decision making. The non-GAAP Financial measures also facilitate management’s internal comparisons to BIONIK’s historical performance and our competitors’ operating results.
