Encision Reports Second Quarter Fiscal Year 2021 Results

Boulder, Colorado, November 5, 2020 -- Encision Inc. (PK:ECIA), a medical device company owning patented Active Electrode Monitoring (AEM®) Technology that prevents dangerous stray electrosurgical burns in minimally invasive surgery, today announced financial results for its fiscal 2021 second quarter that ended September 30, 2020.

The Company posted quarterly net revenue of $1.88 million for a quarterly net income of $9 thousand, or $0.00 per diluted share. These results compare to net revenue of $1.92 million for a quarterly net income of $30 thousand, or $0.00 per diluted share, in the year-ago quarter. Gross margin on net revenue was 52.5% in the fiscal 2021 second quarter and 54.5% in the fiscal 2020 second quarter.

The Company posted six months net revenue of $3.23 million for a six months net loss of $131 thousand, or $(0.01) per diluted share. These results compare to net revenue of $3.85 million for a six months net loss of $152 thousand, or $(0.01) per diluted share, in the year-ago six months. Gross margin on net revenue was 51% in the fiscal 2021 and fiscal 2020 six months.

“As a result of COVID-19 limiting surgical procedures, product revenue for our second quarter of fiscal 2021 decreased 7% from our second quarter of last year,” said Gregory Trudel, President and CEO of Encision Inc. “In October, we saw an increase in procedures and a corresponding uptick in sales revenue. With the current increases of Covid-19 cases, we remain watchful of the state of surgery and will do all we can to support our customers.”

 

“We entered into a Master Services Agreement with Auris Health, Inc. (“Auris Health”) in April. Auris Health is a part of the Johnson & Johnson family of companies. Under the agreement, we will collaborate on the integration of AEM technology into monopolar instrumentation produced by Auris Health for advanced surgical applications. This work is ongoing and is reported separately, as service revenue, in our Statement of Operations.”

 

“At the end of our second quarter, we began to sell our AEM 2X enTouch® Scissors (“2X Scissors”). 2X Scissors bring new levels of performance and economy to the surgical scissor market by combining the best in class performance of our enTouch Disposable Scissors with the value and economy of a multi-use device. 2X Scissors are a game-changing product that will have a significant impact on the disposable laparoscopic scissor market. Our enTouch Disposable Scissors have long been the surgeon preferred product because of their sharpness and micro-serrations. Our new 2X Scissors provide all those benefits at half the cost per use and reduce hospital waste and the impact on the environment as well. The new thermochromic technology integrated into 2X Scissors lets the hospital know when to replace the scissors with new ones and makes tracking their use simple and easy. Superior performance, superior value, easy to use, and easy on the environment – that’s what customers want in a disposable scissor. It is the way that everything is going. We expect 2X Scissors to gain an attractive sales trajectory and to become a significant part of our portfolio of products. 2X Scissors work perfectly with hot AEM dissection and are priced to be used for cold dissection as well. 2X Scissors will open new use segments for us and create an opportunity for customers to standardize on our entire portfolio of Active Electrode Monitoring (AEM®) products. We are delighted to launch 2X Scissors and look forward to delivering other high performance/ high customer value product innovations going forward.”

 

“In April, we entered into an unsecured promissory note under the Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP”) for a principal amount of $598,567. Under the terms of the CARES Act, a PPP loan recipient may apply for, and be granted, forgiveness for all or a portion of loans granted under the PPP. Such forgiveness will be determined based upon the use of loan proceeds for payroll costs, rent and utility costs, and the maintenance of employee and compensation levels. In our third quarter, we will apply for loan forgiveness and, since we achieved the requirements for forgiveness, believe that all of the $598,567 will be forgiven.”

 

“On August 4, we received $150,000 in loan funding from the U.S. Small Business Administration (“SBA”) under the Economic Injury Disaster Loan (“EIDL”) program administered by the SBA, which program was expanded pursuant to the CARES Act. The EIDL is evidenced by a promissory note, dated August 1 in the original principal amount of $150,000 with the SBA, the lender. The EIDL note term is for thirty years.”

 

Encision Inc. designs and markets a portfolio of high-performance surgical instrumentation that delivers advances in patient safety with AEM technology, surgical performance, and value to hospitals across a broad range of minimally invasive surgical procedures. Based in Boulder, Colorado, the company pioneered the development and deployment of Active Electrode Monitoring, AEM technology, to eliminate dangerous stray energy burns during minimally invasive procedures.
