BIONIK Laboratories Corp. (OTCPink: BNKL), a robotics company focused on providing rehabilitation and assistive technology solutions to individuals with neurological and mobility challenges from hospital to home, today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year 2022, ended March 31, 2022.

Fourth Quarter FY 2022 and Recent Highlights

• BIONIK’s sales pipeline remains among the highest levels in corporate history.
• New patient outcomes data reflecting a 15-20% increase in therapeutic gains on InMotion Robotic devices over a 14-day timeframe was reported. The Company continues to work with Bitstrapped on advancing machine learning and predictability outcomes further into Bionik’s technology.
• Revenue was $1.3 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022, an increase of 7%, reflecting the shipment of nine units and higher subscription sales for the InMotion Connect Pulse solutions that were first introduced in June 2020.
• Revenue was $0.2 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022 compared to $0.5 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021, a decrease of 59%, primarily due to lower units sold in the current period as a result of lengthened delivery schedules from the lingering impact of supply chain issues and the Covid pandemic.
• On a GAAP basis, total operating expenses increased 18% to $1.5 million, primarily due to increased investments in sales and marketing partially offset by a decrease in general and administrative expenses.
• On a Non-GAAP basis, the net loss was $1.6 million, or $(0.28) per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022, compared to a net loss of $0.9 million, or $(0.17) per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021.
• Cash and equivalents totaled $2.0 million and there was no short or long-term debt on BIONIK’s balance sheet at March 31, 2022.

Rich Russo, Chief Financial Officer and Interim Chief Executive Officer, commented, “Revenues increased 7% to $1.3 million for the fiscal year, despite the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on our business. During the year we shipped nine units and grew our sales pipeline to its highest levels. We also made significant investments in our marketing and branding initiatives as well as continued to advance our data strategy with advancements in our machine learning and predictability modeling. In the fourth quarter we continued to focus on growing our sales pipeline and containing costs, as we work to convert our pipeline to revenue.”
