Advanced Energy Sales increased 40% year-over-year in Q2
CLEARWATER, FL — August 10, 2023 - Apyx Medical Corporation (NASDAQ:APYX) (the “Company”), the manufacturer of a proprietary helium plasma and radiofrequency technology marketed and sold as Renuvion®, today reported financial results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2023, and reaffirms financial expectations for the full year ending December 31, 2023.
Second Quarter 2023 Financial Summary:
•Total revenue of $13.6 million, up 32% year-over-year.
◦Advanced Energy revenue of $11.7 million, up 40% year-over-year.
◦OEM revenue of $1.8 million, down 4% year-over-year.
•Net loss attributable to stockholders of $1.0 million, down $4.4 million, or 82%, year-over-year.
•Adjusted EBITDA loss of $1.6 million, down $1.8 million, or 52%, year-over-year.
Second Quarter 2023 Operating Summary:
•On April 28, 2023, the Company announced that it received 510(k) clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) “for the use of it's Renuvion technology for coagulation of subcutaneous soft tissues following liposuction for aesthetic body contouring.”
•On May 8, 2023, the Company closed on a Purchase Agreement and concurrently executed a 10-year agreement to leaseback its underlying real property for its Clearwater, FL facility with VK Acquisitions VI, LLC. The Company received net cash proceeds of approximately $6.6 million, after withholding the security deposit equal to one years rent, taxes, first months rent, expenses, and fees.
•On May 10, 2023, the FDA posted an update to the Medical Device Safety Communication (“Safety Communication”) to inform consumers and healthcare providers about the clearance for the Renuvion APR handpiece for use under the skin in certain procedures intended to improve the appearance of the skin, including for coagulation of subcutaneous soft tissues following liposuction for aesthetic body contouring. The Company believes that the May 10, 2023 FDA update to the Safety Communication addresses the remaining issues set forth in the original Safety Communication from March 14, 2022.
•On June 14, 2023, the Company announced that it received 510(k) clearance from the FDA for the Renuvion Micro Handpiece, a new addition to the Renuvion product family. The Renuvion Micro Handpiece is cleared with an indication “for the delivery of radiofrequency energy and/or helium plasma where coagulation/contraction of soft tissue is needed.” Soft tissue includes subcutaneous tissue.
Management Comments:
“Our total revenue performance in the second quarter was driven by strong sales of our Advanced Energy products, which increased 40% on a year-over-year basis and 21% on a quarter-over-quarter basis,” said Charlie Goodwin, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Our Advanced Energy sales performance in the U.S. was consistent with our expectations, increasing 38% year-over-year and benefiting, in part, from our recently obtained 510(k) clearances for new clinical indications. Meanwhile, sales to our international distributors were softer than expected, which we largely attribute to the timing of orders from certain distributor partners. Importantly, we delivered significant year-over-year reductions in our net loss attributable to stockholders and adjusted EBITDA of 82% and 52%, respectively, while securing additional capital to further strengthen our balance sheet.”
Mr. Goodwin continued: “Our team made important progress during the second quarter in addressing the FDA Safety Communication, which was initially posted in March of last year. Specifically, we secured FDA 510(k)
clearance for a new clinical indication related to our Advanced Energy products – our fourth new clinical indication in 12 months. This was followed by a related update to the FDA Safety Communication on May 10th which we believe satisfied all remaining issues in the Agency’s original communication, and we have been pleased to see subsequent improvements in the U.S. sales environment for our Advanced Energy generators. We anticipate continued improvement globally over the balance of the year and remain confident in our ability to achieve Advanced Energy sales growth in excess of 40%, coupled with significant reductions in our net loss.”

Second Quarter 2023 Results:
Total revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2023 increased $3.3 million, or 32% year-over-year, to $13.6 million, compared to $10.3 million in the prior year period. Advanced Energy segment sales increased $3.4 million, or 40% year-over-year, to $11.7 million. OEM segment sales decreased $0.1 million, or 4% year-over-year to $1.8 million. The increase in Advanced Energy sales was primarily due to growth in domestic sales, which was driven by sales of the Company's recently launched Apyx One Console to both new and existing customers, along with contributions from increased sales of our handpieces. Advanced Energy sales also benefited from growth in international sales, driven primary by an increase in sales of generators. The decrease in OEM sales was due to decreased sales volume to existing customers. For the second quarter of 2023, revenue in the United States increased $2.2 million, or 28% year-over-year, to $10.1 million, and international revenue increased $1.1 million, or 46% year-over-year, to $3.4 million.
Gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 2023, increased $2.4 million, or 34% year-over-year, to $9.3 million, compared to $6.9 million in the prior year period. Gross margin for the three months ended June 30, 2023, was 68.4%, compared to 67.2% in the prior year period. The increase in gross profit margins for the three months ended June 30, 2023 from the prior year period is primarily attributable to changes in the sales mix between the Company's two segments, with the Advanced Energy segment comprising a higher percentage of total sales. These increases were partially offset by geographic mix within the Advanced Energy segment, with international sales comprising a higher percentage of total sales and product mix.
Operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2023 increased $0.3 million, or 2% year-over-year, to $13.2 million, compared to $12.9 million in the prior year period. The year-over-year change in operating expenses was driven by a $0.8 million increase in selling, general and administrative expenses, a $0.1 million increase in salaries and related costs and a $0.1 million increase in research and development expenses. These increases were partially offset by a $0.8 million decrease in professional services.
Income tax expense for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 was $0.1 million.
Net loss attributable to stockholders for the three months ended June 30, 2023 was $1.0 million, or $0.03 per share, compared to $5.4 million, or $0.16 per share, in the prior year period. Included in net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2023 was a $2.7 million gain on the sale-leaseback of our Clearwater, FL facility.
Adjusted EBITDA loss for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 was approximately $1.6 million and $3.4 million, respectively.
First Six Months of 2023 Results:
Total revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2023, increased $2.9 million, or 13%, to $25.7 million, compared to $22.8 million in the prior year period. Advanced Energy segment sales increased $2.2 million, or 12% year-over-year, to $21.4 million, compared to $19.2 million in the prior year period. OEM segment sales increased $0.7 million, or 19% year-over-year, to $4.3 million, compared to $3.6 million in the prior year period. For the first six months of 2023, revenue in the United States increased $3.5 million, or 23% year-over-year, to $19.0 million, and international revenue decreased $0.6 million, or 8% year-over-year, to $6.7 million. The increase in Advanced Energy sales was driven by domestic sales of the Company’s recently launched Apyx One Console to both new and existing customers. Growth in domestic sales was partially offset by decreased international sales of generators and handpieces due to continued business disruption related to the FDA Safety Communication. The increase in OEM sales was due to increased sales volume to existing customers, as well as incremental new sales upon the commencement of the supply arrangement related to the completion of the development portion of some of the Company’s OEM development agreements.
Net loss attributable to stockholders for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was $4.5 million, or $0.13 per share, compared to $11.4 million, or $0.33 per share, in the prior year period. Included in net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was a $2.7 million gain on the sale-leaseback of our Clearwater, FL facility.
