Electromed, Inc. Reports Record $6 Million Dollar Quarter
Operating Income Increased 180%
NEW PRAGUE, Minn.-- Electromed, Inc. (NYSE MKT: ELMD) today announced financial results for the three- and six-month periods ended December 31, 2015.
Net revenues for the second quarter of fiscal 2016 were $6.26 million, a 28.3% or $1.38 million increase, compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2015. Growth in total net revenues was attributable to strong results in the home care market in which revenue increased by 21.5%, or $0.97 million, compared to the same period of fiscal 2015. Home care sales, which accounted for nearly 88% of revenues, increased due to a higher number of approvals, a higher conversion rate of referrals to approvals, and a higher average selling price from third party payers, such as insurance companies, Medicare and Medicaid, for the Company’s SmartVest® products.
The Company reported net income of $1.07 million, or $0.13 per basic and diluted share, for the second quarter of fiscal 2016, compared to $0.42 million, or $0.05 per basic and diluted share, for the same period of fiscal 2015. The increase in net income was the result of increased revenue and reductions in manufacturing costs year over year. During the second quarter, the Company also released the full valuation allowance on its net deferred tax assets, which positively affected net income by $288,000.
Gross margins in the second quarter of fiscal 2016 were 78.2%, up from 69.7% in the second quarter of fiscal 2015. The increase in gross profit percentage and gross profit dollars from $3.40 to $4.90 million resulted from the increases in domestic home care revenue along with lower manufacturing costs. Operating expenses, which include selling, general and administrative as well as research and development expenses, in the second quarter of fiscal 2016, were $3.65 million or 58.3% of revenue, compared with $2.96 million or 60.5% of revenue in the same period of the prior year. The increase was due to a combination of additional employees in the Company’s sales and sales support departments, additional expenses related to sales incentives and bonuses based on higher revenue, consulting fees associated with information technology (IT) improvements and outsourcing certain IT services.
Operating income increased 179.3% to $1.25 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2016, compared with $0.45 million in the same period of fiscal 2015. Net income increased 152.5%, to $1.07 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2016 driven by higher net revenues, the improved gross margin and a lower than normalized tax rate of 13.0% in the second quarter.
For the six months ended December 31, 2015, revenue increased 16.7%, to $11.26 million, compared to the same period of fiscal 2015. Gross margins were 77.8%, up from 69.4% in the same period of the prior year, while net income increased to $1.41 million, or $0.17 per basic and diluted share, compared to $0.80 million or $0.10 per basic and diluted share in the same period of the prior year.
Commenting on the second quarter results, Kathleen Skarvan, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company said, “We are extremely pleased with our second quarter results as we reported record quarterly net revenues and earnings before tax. Home care sales continue to be positively affected by the combination of higher quality referrals generated by our sales force and strong performance by our reimbursement organization in obtaining reimbursement for both current and older referrals. Our strategy to build stronger synergy between our sales and reimbursement teams is resulting in higher levels of customer service, higher quality referrals and increased proficiency in processing referrals. Our higher sales also were impacted by expanded payer contracting across the United States.
“Our engineering and manufacturing teams continued to make progress in lowering the costs of our key product which helped us to produce record gross margins. Going forward, we will realize a positive impact to operating profit with the recent Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2016 that included a two-year moratorium on the medical device excise tax starting January 1, 2016. Our annualized expense, based on the first two quarters of fiscal 2016, was $264,000. We believe we have raised the range on the level of net revenues we can generate quarterly. This should, in turn, result in stronger operating income as we expect our revenues will grow more quickly than our expense base. We are increasingly confident that the market for our SmartVest will continue to grow, driven by an aging population, improved diagnostic procedures and growing confidence that HFCWO is an effective therapy for patients with compromised airway clearance.”
