CLEARWATER, Fl. – August 6, 2015- Bovie Medical (NYSE:BVX), a maker of medical devices and supplies and the developer of J-Plasma®, a patented new surgical product, today announced results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2015.
Management Comments
“Second quarter revenue performance represented solid year-on-year and sequential growth in line with our strategy of expanding Bovie’s core product business, while making consistent progress on the commercialization of J-Plasma®, ” said Robert L. Gershon, Chief Executive Officer.
“This was our second consecutive quarter of six-figure sales for J-Plasma®, but longer sales cycles for hospital based products capped the sequential growth that we had expected. We are pleased to report, however, that July shipments of J-Plasma® were $237,000, a strong signal of the growing acceptance and use of this transformational product.
“There are several leading indicators that underpin our confidence in a significant pick-up in J-Plasma® sales momentum. At the end of the second quarter, there were 34 generators in use, up from 24 at the end of the prior quarter; we had 30 ordering accounts, up from 21 the end of the first quarter; and, J-Plasma has been approved by 42 Hospital Value Analysis Committees (VACs) to date and is under review at an additional 46. In the first half of 2015, we received 42 scrub purchase orders, which are used by surgeons to secure products while they are under VAC review. Scrub purchase orders are an early indication of future sales trends, and the fact that we received 42 compared to 6 for all of last year demonstrates the growing surgeon adoption of J-Plasma®. In fact, at the end of the second quarter, there were 76 surgeons using J-Plasma® compared to 41 at the end of this year’s first quarter.
“We continue to expand our R&D and business development activities to maintain our leadership and unlock potential in new markets. In the core business, we have launched two new products under the Bovie brand, which fit well in Gynecology and Dermatology specialties. The Colpo-MasterTM offers higher magnification for gynecologists, improving their ability to diagnose due to sharper visualization. Another product, FreezpointTM, is a device for dermatologic treatment of skin lesions, and enables a convenient method for freezing tissue,” Mr. Gershon noted.
Second Quarter 2015 Results
Second quarter sales were $7.3 million, up 4.7% from $6.9 million in the second quarter of 2014 on higher sales of core products. Gross margin was 43.2%, compared with a gross margin adjusted for an inventory write-down of 39.2% in the second quarter of 2014.
1
Operating expenses totaled $4.7 million in the second quarter, compared with $3.6 million in the second quarter of 2014. Approximately 55% of the increase was due to higher spending to accelerate the commercialization of J-Plasma and further develop Bovie’s R&D capability. The Company incurred an operating loss of $1.5 million, compared with an operating loss of $1.7 million in the second quarter of 2014.
GAAP net loss for the second quarter was $1.5 million, or $0.06 per diluted share, compared with GAAP net income of $251,000, with $29,000 attributable to common shareholders, in the second quarter of 2014. Results for the second quarter of 2014 included a non-cash gain of $1.5 million related to mark-to-market fair value of issued common stock repurchase warrants.
Recent Developments
|
●
|
Bovie has established a Medical Advisory Board that will consist of surgeons who are thought-leaders in a range of different specialties and named Dr. Vipul Patel, a world-renowned urologist and leader in robotic surgery, as its first member. Ultimately, the Board is expected to have 6 to 9 members and lead acceptance of J-Plasma® in new target specialties including, but not limited to, cardiovascular, cardiothoracic and urology.
|
“Our ability to attract a surgeon of the caliber of Dr. Patel to our Advisory Board is further evidence of the technological advantages of J-Plasma®,” Mr. Gershon noted.
Dr. Patel added, “J-Plasma® is one of the most significant innovations in energy in more than a decade, and it has the potential to be of tremendous benefit to patients undergoing surgery for prostate cancer.”
Summary and Outlook
“We have made significant progress in the first six months of 2015 and are looking ahead to a strong second half. Our core business continues to post solid results, and we are moving forward with R&D investments that are focused on expanding the Bovie product portfolio and addressing new markets. Additionally, our second half comparisons should benefit from new OEM contracts that are scheduled to go into the production phase in the coming months.
“At the same time, the key business metrics we have quantified, including numbers of generators in use, ordering customers, VAC approvals, scrub POs and the like all point to a strong pick-up in J-Plasma® sales in the second half of this year. We have an excellent record of VAC approvals, and we recently signed agreements with two new IDNs, which gives us access to a broad base of potential surgeon users in their combined 21 member hospitals. Thus, while timing issues have extended our commercialization process by a few months, we believe that all the elements are in place for substantial improvement in J-Plasma® sales in the coming periods,” Mr. Gershon said.
