Management Comments:
“We were pleased to see improving trends in our Advanced Energy business as the global recovery continued to progress during the third quarter,” said Charlie Goodwin, President and Chief Executive Officer. “While our third quarter revenue decreased 8% year-over-year due to the continued impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, we saw strong utilization of our Renuvion handpieces from existing customers in the U.S., along with shipments to several new customers in our international markets, which helped to offset sluggish global demand for generators during the third quarter. Our team continues to do an excellent job of supporting our customers during this challenging time. In addition to their efforts, our third quarter financial performance benefited from our initiatives to reduce near-term spending, while continuing to invest in key initiatives related to our long-term growth strategy."
Mr. Goodwin continued: “While we were pleased to see overall improvement in our Advanced Energy business trends during the third quarter, demand for handpieces remains uneven across, and within, the primary markets that we serve, and global demand trends for generator adoption remain in the early stages of recovery. Although the timing of a return to a more normalized environment remains uncertain, we remain cautiously optimistic with respect to the continued recovery of the cosmetic surgery market. Subject to the ongoing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, we continue to target returning to year-over-year growth in our U.S. Advanced Energy business in the fourth quarter, and year-over-year growth in our international Advanced Energy business in early 2021. Ultimately, Apyx Medical remains well-capitalized – with $43.5 million in cash and equivalents at quarter-end – and well-positioned to weather the continued impacts of COVID-19, while investing in our primary initiatives to drive strong, long-term growth in the global cosmetic surgery market as the recovery continues.”

Third Quarter 2020 Results:
Total revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2020, decreased $0.6 million, or 8.2%, to $7.0 million, compared to $7.6 million in the prior year. Advanced Energy segment sales decreased approximately $0.6 million, or 10.1% year-over-year, to $5.5 million, compared to approximately $6.1 million last year. OEM segment sales decreased 0.4% year-over-year. For the third quarter 2020, revenue in the United States decreased $0.3 million, or 6.1% year-over-year, to $5.2 million, and international revenue decreased $0.3 million, or 14.0% year-over-year, to $1.7 million. During the third quarter, we continued to see reduced demand for our products, both domestically and internationally, due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 2020, decreased $0.6 million, or 10.7% year-over-year, to $4.7 million, compared to $5.3 million in the prior year. Gross margin for the three months ended September 30, 2020, was 67.9%, compared to 69.9% for the same period in 2019. The decrease in profit margins for the three months ended September 30, 2020 from the prior period is primarily attributable to product mix within our Advanced Energy segment and higher OEM segment sales as a percentage of total sales. These were partially offset by improved product margins within our Advanced Energy segment as a result of our continued manufacturing efficiency initiatives and improved margins attributable to product mix within our OEM segment.
Operating expenses for the third quarter of 2020 decreased $1.0 million, or 9.5% year-over-year, to $9.1 million, compared to $10.1 million for the third quarter of 2019. The year-over-year change in operating expenses was primarily driven by a $1.1 million decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses and a $0.2 million decrease in professional services, partially offset by a $0.3 million increase in salaries and related costs.
Net loss for third quarter of 2020 was $3.7 million, or $(0.11) per share, compared to a net loss of $4.4 million, or $(0.13) per share, for the third quarter of 2019. The decrease in net loss was primarily due to the Company’s income tax benefit of $0.7 million related to its provision for the carryback of net operating losses for the third quarter of 2020.

First Nine Months of 2020 Results:
Total revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, decreased $3.6 million, or 18.2%, to $16.2 million, compared to $19.9 million in the prior year. Advanced Energy segment sales decreased approximately $3.5 million, or 22.0% year-over-year, to $12.3 million, compared to approximately $15.8 million last year. OEM segment sales decreased $0.1 million, or 3.0% year-over-year, to $3.9 million, compared to $4.0 million last year. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, revenue in the United States decreased $1.8 million, or 12.7% year-over-year, to $12.2 million, and international revenue decreased $1.8 million, or 31.3% year-over-year, to $4.0 million. The impact of COVID-19 has resulted in decreased demand for our products, both domestically and internationally, during the first nine months of 2020.
Net loss for nine months ended September 30, 2020 was $10.4 million, or $(0.30) per share, compared to a net loss of $14.3 million, or $(0.42) per share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The decrease in net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was primarily due to the Company’s income tax benefit of $7.1 million related to its provision for the carryback of net operating losses for 2019, offset partially by lower sales, and gross profit, as a result of COVID-19, compared to the prior year period.
Fiscal Year 2020 Financial Outlook:
Given the continued challenges and uncertainties posed by the ongoing global pandemic, the Company will not be providing full year 2020 financial guidance at this time.
