Encision Reports Second Quarter Fiscal Year 2023 Results

Boulder, Colorado, November 10, 2022 -- Encision Inc. (PK:ECIA), a medical device company owning patented Active Electrode Monitoring (AEM®) Technology that prevents dangerous radiant energy burns in minimally invasive surgery, today announced financial results for its fiscal year 2023 second quarter that ended September 30, 2022.

 

The Company posted quarterly net revenue of $1.70 million for a quarterly net loss of $279 thousand, or $(0.02) per diluted share. These results compare to net revenue of $2.11 million for a quarterly net income of $360 thousand, or $0.03 per diluted share, in the year-ago quarter. Gross margin on net revenue was 49% in the fiscal 2023 second quarter and 45% in the fiscal 2022 second quarter. Gross margin increased in the current year’s second quarter compared to last year’s second quarter due principally to higher operating efficiencies.

 

The Company posted six months net revenue of $3.86 million for a six months net loss of $15 thousand, or $0.00 per diluted share. These results compare to six months net revenue of $4.12 million for a six months net income of $353 thousand, or $0.03 per diluted share, in the year-ago six months. Net income in the same six months a year ago included extinguishment of debt income of $533 thousand. Gross margin on net revenue was 55% in the fiscal 2023 six months and 48% in the fiscal 2022 six months. Gross margin in the fiscal 2022 six months was higher due to higher margined service revenue.

 

The second quarter provided significant challenges for us,” said Gregory Trudel, President and CEO of Encision Inc. “Through the first and second quarters of fiscal year 2023, and fiscal year 2022, COVID resurgences continued to negatively impact procedure volumes. In addition, we encountered serious supply chain issues that curtailed our short-term ability to meet customer demand. We reacted quickly to resolve the issues and have put long-term mitigation in place to minimize potential supply chain turmoil.”

 

“Material costs continue to increase at record rates and we have taken measures to protect our company viability. On October 1, 2022, we enacted price increases on all of our products. The price adjustment will increase our net product revenue and gross profit margins. We have also made strategic capital investments in our manufacturing capabilities that will help to offset the increasing cost of labor.”

 

“Encision continues to be positive as we navigate the ups and downs of the pandemic market and the new-normal supply chain turmoil. We continuously look for opportunities to serve our customers with new products, to work smarter, and to drive increased efficiencies. In spite of limited customer access, our sales and marketing efforts are yielding new customers for our new EnTouchâ 2X Scissors and our recently released AEMÒ Shield Disposable Electrodes. We look forward to the contributions that these new products will make as the market bounces back.”

 

“Service revenue for the six months of fiscal year 2023 resulted from services performed under a Supply Agreement with Auris Health, Inc. (“Auris Health”), a part of the Johnson & Johnson family of companies. Under the agreement, Encision collaborated on the integration of AEM® Technology into monopolar instrumentation produced by Auris Health for advanced surgical applications. On August 23, 2021, we entered into a Supply Agreement with Auris Health. During the first quarter business needs took a different direction and, on May 5, 2022, the parties mutually agreed to terminate all the agreements. We enjoyed collaborating with the team at J&J and we look forward to future opportunities to work together.”

 

Encision Inc. designs and markets a portfolio of high-performance surgical instrumentation that delivers advances in patient safety with AEM technology, surgical performance, and value to hospitals across a broad range of minimally invasive surgical procedures. Based in Boulder, Colorado, the company pioneered the development and deployment of Active Electrode Monitoring, AEM technology, to eliminate dangerous stray energy burns during minimally invasive procedures.
