HOUSTON, Texas, January 28, 2020 - Sharps Compliance Corp. (NASDAQ: SMED) (“Sharps” or the “Company”), a leading full-service national provider of comprehensive waste management solutions including medical, pharmaceutical and hazardous, today reported financial results for the second quarter and first six months of fiscal year 2020 ended December 31, 2019.
Revenue in the second quarter of fiscal 2020 was $14.6 million, an increase of 18% compared to $12.4 million in the same prior year quarter and a 7% increase sequentially as compared to revenue for the fiscal 2020 first quarter of $13.6 million. Customer billings increased 20% to $14.9 million for the second quarter compared to $12.5 million for the same prior year quarter and increased 5% on a sequential quarter basis. Gross margin improved to 33.5% compared to 32.2% in the second quarter of fiscal 2019 and 33.0% in the 2020 first quarter. SG&A increased 22% to $3.6 million or 25% of revenue in the second quarter of fiscal 2020, as compared to SG&A of $3.0 million, or 24% of revenue in the same prior year quarter and $3.5 million or 26% of revenue in the first quarter of fiscal 2020. The increase in SG&A is related to the Company’s continued investments in sales and marketing as well as increased professional fees incurred during the first and second quarters of fiscal 2020.
The Company reported operating income of $1.1 million in the second quarter of 2020, compared to operating income of $0.8 million in the second quarter of 2019. Sharps recorded net income of $1.0 million, or $0.06 per basic and diluted share in the second quarter of fiscal 2020, as compared to net income of $0.8 million, or $0.05 per basic and diluted share in the second quarter of fiscal 2019. Sharps recorded EBITDA of $1.5 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2020, as compared to EBITDA of $1.2 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2019. (See Reconciliation of Net Income to EBITDA in the supplemental table included at the end of this release).





David P. Tusa, President and Chief Executive Officer of Sharps, stated, “We’re seeing continued momentum as we move through 2020, with strong second quarter results reflecting record revenue and billings, enhanced gross margins and increased profitability. We delivered substantial growth across each of three key solutions - unused medication management, route-based and our traditional mailback offering. Additionally, we were very pleased with the strong growth in quarterly customer billings in the Pharmaceutical Manufacturer, Home Health Care and Professional markets. At December 31, 2019 we have an installed base of 4,500 collection receptacles for unused medications in retail as well as hospital pharmacies and long-term care, drug treatment and law enforcement facilities and customers have returned and we have processed over 45,000 inner liners."
Tusa added, “We believe the strong growth and improved profitability generated in the last three fiscal quarters is a direct result of our Company’s successful transformation from a medical waste mailback and flu business only company to a comprehensive solutions provider to the Healthcare-related and Retail markets. As further evidence of success, customer billings increased 36%, 32% and 24% for the second quarter, fiscal year to date and trailing twelve-month periods, respectively, without the impact of the flu related business. We are proud of our leadership position in the marketplace and are using our reputation for excellent service to drive more business.”
Second Quarter Review
Professional market billings increased 14% to $4.4 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2020 compared to $3.8 million in the prior year period. Through a combination of its cost-effective and easy to use Sharps Recovery System™ and route-based pick-up services, Sharps has driven organic growth in this segment by addressing the small to medium quantity waste generator market comprised of physicians, clinics, dentists, surgery centers, veterinarians and other healthcare providers. Billings for the inside and online sales channel, which primarily targets the Professional and Government markets, increased 17% to $2.3 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2020 as compared to $1.9 million in the same prior year period.
Pharmaceutical Manufacturer billings increased 170% to $2.3 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2020 compared to $0.8 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2019, related to inventory builds for several current patient support programs.
Home Health Care billings increased 21% to $2.6 million in the second quarter of 2020 compared to $2.2 million in the second quarter of 2019 due primarily to an expanded relationship with a major healthcare distributor.





First Six Months Results
Sharps recorded revenue of $28.2 million in the first six months of 2020, an increase of 24% compared to revenue of $22.7 million in the first six months of 2019. Customer billings increased 28% to $29.1 million in the first six months of fiscal 2020. Retail billings increased 30% to $8.4 million as compared to $6.4 million in the first six months of fiscal 2019. The increase in retail billings for the first six months of 2020 is primarily due to an increase in flu shot related orders and MedSafe billings. Home Health Care billings increased 45% to $5.9 million in the first six months of fiscal 2020 compared to $4.1 million in the same period of 2019. In the first six months of fiscal 2020, Pharmaceutical Manufacturer billings increased 95% to $3.2 million as compared to $1.7 million in the first half of fiscal 2019. Professional billings increased 13% to $8.5 million in the first half of fiscal 2020 as compared to $7.5 million in the prior year period. 
Gross margin increased to 33.2% for the first six months of fiscal 2020 as compared to 32.4% in the first six months of fiscal 2019. SG&A expense increased 19% to $7.1 million compared to $6.0 million in the first six months of 2019, related to the Company’s continued investments in sales and marketing, but decreased as a percentage of sales at 25% for the first six months of fiscal 2020 as compared to 26% in the first six months of fiscal 2019. The Company recorded operating income of $1.8 million in the first half of fiscal 2020 as compared to $1.0 million in the first half of fiscal 2019.
Net income for the first six months of 2020 was $1.7 million, or $0.10 per basic and dilutes share compared to net income of $0.8 million or $0.05 per basic and diluted share in the first six months of fiscal 2019.
Sharps recorded improved EBITDA of $2.6 million in the first six months of fiscal 2020, as compared to EBITDA of $1.8 million in the first six months of fiscal 2019. (See Reconciliation of Net Income to EBITDA in the supplemental table included at the end of this release).
Financial Flexibility and a Strong Balance Sheet
Cash was $5.3 million at December 31, 2019, compared to cash of $4.5 million at June 30, 2019. The Company had working capital of $10.8 million at December 30, 2019 compared to working capital of $10.6 million at June 30, 2019.
Looking Forward
Mr. Tusa concluded, “We are very excited and energized about the recent success and the significant growth we are experiencing, and we remain intent on driving sustainable, recurring revenue over the longer term as we continue to create awareness of the Company and its solution offerings. We are particularly focused on markets that we believe to be underserved and where we believe there is a significant opportunity to attract customers who are looking for alternatives to their current provider."

*Represents the net impact of the revenue recognition adjustments to arrive at reported GAAP revenue. Customer billings include all invoiced amounts for products shipped or services rendered during the period reported. GAAP revenue includes customer billings as well as numerous adjustments necessary to reflect, (i) the deferral of a portion of current period sales, (ii) recognition of certain revenue associated with product returned for treatment and destruction and (iii) provisions for certain product returns and discounts to customers which are accounted for as reductions in sales in the same period the related sales are recorded. Most of the difference between customer billings and GAAP revenue is reflected in the Company’s balance sheet as Contract Liability.

*The Company defines earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) as net income, plus income tax expense, net interest expense, and depreciation and amortization. Other companies may define EBITDA differently. EBITDA is presented because it is a financial measure that is frequently requested by third parties. However, EBITDA is not considered under generally accepted accounting principles as a primary measure of an entity’s financial results, and accordingly, EBITDA should not be considered an alternative to operating income, net income, or cash flows as determined under generally accepted accounting principles and as reported by the Company.
