NEW PRAGUE, Minn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Electromed, Inc. (“Electromed”) (NYSE American: ELMD), a leader in innovative airway clearance technologies, today announced financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2023 (“Q3 FY 2023”).

Q3 FY 2023 Highlights

• Record quarterly net revenues of $12.1 million, a 19% year-over-year increase
• Homecare revenue of $11.0 million, an increase of 21% year-over-year
• Generated operating income of $1.2 million, an increase of 39% year-over-year
• Net income of $1.1 million, or $0.12 per fully diluted share, compared with net income of $645,000 in the same period a year ago

“I’m very pleased to report 19% revenue growth in the third quarter of fiscal year 2023 coupled with net income growth that further demonstrates that our investments in growth are yielding strong results,” said Kathleen Skarvan, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Our revenue growth was driven by strong referral growth, improved productivity by our expanded sales team and the recent launch to the homecare market of our next generation SmartVest Clearway.”

Ms. Skarvan continued, “Our SmartVest Clearway has been received very positively by clinicians and patients due to its state-of-the-art patient experience with a simple touch screen user interface, remote monitoring of data, and is the lightest HFCWO generator on the market. We believe that Electromed is well-positioned for growth and profitability in calendar 2023.”

Fiscal Third Quarter Results

Net revenues for Q3 FY 2023 increased by 19% year-over-year to $12.1 million, compared with $10.1 million in the same period the prior year. The increase over the prior year was driven by an increase in referrals and approvals due to an expanded sales force and reimbursement team.

Home care revenue increased by $1,938,000, or 21.5%, for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase was primarily due to an increase in referrals and approvals. The increase in referrals was due to an increase in direct sales representatives as well as positive market momentum from the introduction of our newest generation SmartVest Clearway in the quarter and was partially offset by a temporary interruption in supply chain and associated operations in the quarter. Field sales force employees totaled 57 at quarter end, 48 of which were direct sales representatives. Sales productivity remained within our expected range during the quarter, with annualized home care revenues per direct sales representative at $908,000, within Electromed’s target range of $850,000 to $950,000.

Gross profit increased to $9,056,000, or 75.0% of net revenues, for the three months ended March 31, 2023, from $7,743,000, or 76.4% of net revenues, in the same period in the prior year. The decrease in gross profit as a percentage of net revenues compared to the same period in the prior year was primarily due to increased material costs and component broker fees incurred to ramp up supply for the Clearway product.

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses were $7,694,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2023, representing an increase of $1,150,000, or 17.6%, compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase in SG&A expense was primarily due to increased payroll and compensation expense related to the higher average number of sales, sales support, marketing, and reimbursement personnel to process higher patient referrals.

Operating income for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was $1,196,000, compared to $863,000 for the same period in the prior year. The increase in operating income was driven primarily by revenue growth and a decrease in Research & Development expenses but partially offset by increased SG&A expenses related to our sales and reimbursement investments, as well as increased material costs and broker fees incurred to accelerate the ramp up supply for the Clearway product.

Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was $1,075,000, or $0.12 per diluted share, compared to $645,000, or $0.07 per diluted share, for the same period in the prior year.

As of March 31, 2023, Electromed had $6.8 million in cash, $22.3 million in accounts receivable, working capital of $28.8 million, and total shareholders’ equity of $36.4 million.
