“Our fourth quarter revenue results exceeded the high-end of our guidance range and reflects the continued success we are having in commercializing our J-Plasma technology under the RenuvionTM brand in the cosmetic surgery market,” said Charlie Goodwin, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Our strategic focus has resulted in Advanced Energy sales growth of more than 72% in 2018 and we are experiencing a growing awareness of our differentiated technology in the U.S. cosmetic surgery market as more and more clinicians appreciate Renuvion’s unique ability to manage heat which allows for improved tissue effect and treatment time.
Mr. Goodwin continued: “The outlook for 2019 is very positive for Apyx Medical; we are investing in our selling infrastructure to maximize the opportunity to gain share in the U.S. cosmetic surgery market with our disruptive technology, and we achieved another milestone near the end of the fourth quarter with the announcement of a 510(k) submission requesting clearance for a new clinical indication to market and sell our Renuvion Cosmetic Technology for dermal resurfacing procedures. We have a strong balance sheet and a focused plan to encourage broad-based adoption of Renuvion, which we believe ultimately achieves strong, sustained and profitable growth for the benefit of our stockholders.”
