15.4% revenue growth while continuing to execute key strategic initiatives
Company also announces Chief Financial Officer transition
Electromed, Inc. (“Electromed” or the “Company”) (NYSE American: ELMD), a leader in innovative airway clearance technologies, today announced financial results for its fiscal 2022 third quarter ended March 31, 2022. Management will host a conference call at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time today to discuss the results.
Fiscal Third Quarter 2022 Highlights
- Recorded net revenues of $10.1 million in the quarter, a year-over-year increase of 15.4% driven by home care revenues of $9.0 million.
- Gross Profit was 76.4% of net revenues, compared with 76.3% of net revenues in the same period a year ago, as rising raw material and shipping costs were offset by higher Medicare allowable pricing, increased operational efficiencies and operating leverage on higher revenue
- Net Income was $0.6 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, compared with $0.2 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, in the same period a year ago.
- $9.8 million cash on hand at the end of the quarter, benefitting from $0.2 million in operating cash flow during the quarter. Operating cash flow was negatively impacted compared to the prior year quarter due to increased advance purchases of raw materials to ensure key component supply and mitigate future cost increases.
- Repurchased 24,551 shares of common stock at a total cost of $299,000.
- Appointed Christopher Holland as Chief Commercial Officer, a strategic hire who will help drive Electromed’s key strategic growth initiatives.
“I am pleased to report that in the third quarter of fiscal 2022, Electromed generated 15.4% year-over-year revenue growth while managing through a challenging operating environment,” said Kathleen Skarvan, Electromed’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “We continued to achieve key milestones in the execution of our strategic initiatives including the expansion of our sales force, maintaining our next generation development schedule consistent with an expected launch during the first half of fiscal 2023, building the system infrastructure necessary to support future growth, and hiring a Chief Commercial Officer to lead the execution of our growth initiatives. We ended the quarter with positive momentum, our direct sales force at near full staffing and recording the highest home care monthly referrals in company history; we are excited to continue that momentum into the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022.”
Chief Financial Officer Transition
The Company also announced that the Chief Financial Officer, Michael MacCourt, will resign effective July 1, 2022. Mr. MacCourt plans to pursue a new opportunity outside of corporate finance. Michelle C. Wirtz, the Company’s Corporate Controller, will be appointed to the position of Interim Chief Financial Officer on June 1, 2022 prior to Mr. MacCourt exiting the company. Mr. MacCourt is expected to remain an employee through July 1, 2022 to ensure a smooth transition. The Company plans to explore options for a permanent appointment.
“I would like to thank Mike for the valuable contributions he has made since joining Electromed in May of 2020,” said Ms. Skarvan. “His leadership and expertise have strengthened our corporate finance function during his tenure and he has been a trusted advisor to me. I wish him well in his future endeavors.”
Ms. Skarvan added, “I am delighted to announce Michelle’s appointment. She possesses a strong corporate finance, accounting and external reporting background, healthcare experience, and is intimately familiar with Electromed’s business model,” said Ms. Skarvan. “We can’t think of a better candidate to assume the role as we explore our options for a permanent appointment.”
Ms. Wirtz currently serves as Corporate Controller at Electromed and brings over 15 years of experience in accounting, financial analysis, SEC reporting, and M & A transaction support. Prior to joining Electromed, Ms. Wirtz served as Corporate Controller for Icario, Inc., a national health-tech company providing member engagement solutions to U.S. health insurers, from June 2018 to December 2021. Prior to joining Icario, Ms. Wirtz served as a Senior Consultant, Finance and Accounting, for Salo, Inc., and held positions of increasing responsibility at global CPA firms Ernst & Young and RMS McGladrey. Ms. Wirtz holds an active CPA license in the state of Minnesota.
Fiscal Third Quarter 2022 Results
Net revenues in the third quarter of the Company’s fiscal year ending June 30, 2022 (“fiscal 2022”) increased 15.4% year-over-year to $10.1 million, from $8.8 million in the third quarter of the Company’s fiscal year ended June 30, 2021 (“fiscal 2021”), driven largely by 10.7% growth in the home care business which benefitted from a growth in referrals due to increased direct sales representative productivity. Field sales employees totaled 51 at the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2022, 42 of which were direct sales representatives, compared to 48 field sales employees and 39 direct sales representatives at the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2021. Sales force productivity remained strong during the quarter, with annualized home care revenue per direct sales representative at $943,000, above the Company’s targeted range of $800,000 to $900,000.
Institutional revenue declined 11.5% to $0.4 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2022, primarily due to lower capital sales compared to the same period in fiscal 2021. Distributor revenue increased 395.2% to $0.5 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2022 from $0.1 million in the same period a year ago, primarily due to increased demand from one of our key distribution partners. International revenue increased 157.9% to $0.2 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2022.
Gross profit in the third quarter of fiscal 2022 increased to $7.7 million, or 76.4% of net revenues, from $6.7 million, or 76.3% of net revenues, in the third quarter of fiscal 2021, as rising raw material and shipping costs were offset by higher Medicare allowable pricing, increased operational efficiencies and operating leverage on higher revenue.
Operating income totaled $0.9 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2022, compared to $0.2 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2021. The higher operating income was driven by 15.4% revenue growth compared to prior year, partially offset by increased strategic investment in sales, general and administrative costs.
Net income for the third quarter of fiscal 2022 was $0.6 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, compared to $0.2 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, in the third quarter of fiscal 2021.
As of March 31, 2022, Electromed had $9.8 million in cash, $19.6 million in accounts receivable, working capital of $28.0 million and total shareholders’ equity of $34.0 million
