Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2019 Highlights:

• Fiscal fourth quarter 2019 revenue increased approximately 12.9% to $9.8 million, compared to $8.6 million in fiscal fourth quarter 2018. Total fiscal Q4 2019 product revenue growth reflects a 23.3% increase in consumables revenue and a 12.8% decline in equipment revenue as compared to fiscal Q4 2018.
   
  • Fiscal fourth quarter 2019 domestic product revenue increased 22.0% to $6.1 million, including a 16.4% increase in recurring consumables revenue and a 97.0% rise in equipment revenue.
     
  • Fiscal fourth quarter 2019 international product revenue increased 0.6% to $3.7 million, reflecting a 44.6% increase in consumables, partially offset by a 30.8% decrease in equipment revenue related to approximately $800,000 of orders placed by customers but unfilled by Misonix as of quarter end.
     
• Full fiscal year 2019 revenue increased approximately 5.9% to 38.8 million, comprising a product revenue increase of approximately 18.9% to $38.8 million, compared to $32.7 million in fiscal 2018, offset by no license revenue in fiscal 2019 compared with $4 million in fiscal 2018. Total fiscal 2019 product revenue growth reflects a 20.2% increase in consumables revenue and a 15.5% rise in equipment revenue. Full year consumables revenue growth was in line with expectations, while equipment revenue growth was slightly impacted by previously disclosed supply disruptions related to critical parts for BoneScalpel consoles.
   
  • Fiscal 2019 domestic product revenue increased 14.6% to $23.0 million, including a 15.9% increase in recurring consumables revenue and a 4.6% rise in equipment revenue.
     
  • Fiscal 2019 international product revenue increased 25.7% to $15.9 million, reflecting a 33.3% increase in consumables and a 19.2% rise in equipment revenue.
     
• In May 2019, Misonix announced it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Solsys Medical, LLC (“Solsys”), a privately held regenerative medical company, in an all-stock transaction valued at approximately $97 million.
   
  • The planned acquisition of Solsys substantially broadens Misonix’s addressable market through wound care solutions that are complementary to its existing products.
     
  • The combined company anticipates top line revenue growth in excess of 25% per annum over the next several years.
     
  • On August 13, 2019, the Company’s S-4 registration statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) relating to the Solsys acquisition was declared effective. A meeting of Misonix’s shareholders to vote on the transaction, among other related matters, has been set for September 26, 2019 at 10:00 a.m. at the Company’s headquarters.
     
• In June 2019, Misonix announced that it had received 510(k) clearance by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for Nexus, its new revolutionary ultrasonic surgical platform. The Company has launched Nexus in a limited market release in the United States.
   
• In June 2019, the Company received notice from the SEC that it had concluded its investigation regarding Misonix’s potential breaches of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act that the Company had self-reported to the SEC and U.S. Department of Justice. The SEC stated that, based on the information it had as of the date of the letter, it did not intend to recommend an enforcement action by the SEC against the Company.
   
• In July 2019, the Company favorably settled its shareholder derivative litigation brought in connection with alleged violations by the Company of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. Under the terms of the settlement, the Company agreed to enact a six-year plan to implement certain corporate governance measures and pay $500,000 of legal fees, which was paid by the Company’s insurance carrier. 

Stavros Vizirgianakis, President and Chief Executive Officer of Misonix, stated, “Our fourth quarter of fiscal 2019 marks two years of continued improvements across the entire organization, including double-digit top-line growth for eight consecutive quarters, as well as significant and continuous improvements across most of our key financial and operational metrics. Equally important, the close of fiscal 2019 highlights the success of various strategic initiatives we have undertaken to improve and grow the business in a sustained manner. From significantly revamping our go-to-market strategy, including our sales and marketing department, to back office systems supporting inventory procurement and bringing onboard more capable production partners, Misonix has created a stable and robust foundation for the future.

“Of course, none of this would be possible without having both great products and great people. While the demonstrated clinical benefits of Misonix’s ultrasonic surgical devices are clear, the opportunity ahead of us as we look to grow our business across both applications and markets is largely based on the evolution of our product offering. To that end, we have continued to invest in R&D to support the development of new ultrasonic surgical solutions and products, including our next generation Nexus platform. We are energized by our success to bring Nexus to market. The time, effort and knowhow that was involved in this achievement was significant and we are very pleased with the outcome as well as the enthusiastic market reception we have received. We have begun a controlled market launch of Nexus and have begun to transition our business to this unique and extremely capable platform.

“We are equally excited about our planned acquisition of Solsys and the opportunities that the combination will create by bringing together a direct sales team of over 80 professionals on wound and 55 on the surgical side. We are confident this will help drive increased sales productivity and broaden the market penetration of the combined company’s wound and surgical products in operating rooms and hospital outpatient facilities. Together, we plan to combine our expertise and customer relationships with demonstrated clinical benefits and improving patient outcomes to drive sales.”

“With the positive operating momentum across our business, Misonix has a solid foundation to continue pursuing a range of near- and long-term growth opportunities to deliver enhanced returns for our shareholders. As we enter fiscal 2020, we continue to focus on prudently managing our capital resources, growing sales, improving productivity and operational efficiencies and successfully integrating Solsys under the Misonix umbrella.”

Joe Dwyer, Chief Financial Officer, added, “We are pleased with our fourth fiscal quarter and full fiscal year 2019 financial results. Our ability to drive recurring consumables as well as equipment sales growth is driving double-digit increases in product revenue and reinforces our conviction that Misonix is on the right path toward achieving continued top-line growth and improved profitability going forward.

“Fourth quarter operating expenses of $9.1 million increased by $1.2 million or 14.8% year-over-year, reflecting a $1.7 million increase in general and administrative expense, which was primarily attributable to fees and expenses related to the Solsys transaction. Fiscal fourth quarter selling expenses were essentially flat at $4.4 million and research and development expenses of $0.9 million decreased by 32.8% or $0.4 million as we completed the development of our Nexus platform.

“Looking ahead to fiscal 2020, we expect double-digit product revenue growth in excess of 20% and gross profit margins of approximately 70%. We estimate that the first half of fiscal 2020 will encompass approximately 47% of total annual revenue, with the remainder being generated in the second half of fiscal 2020. On a standalone basis without Solsys, we expect that adjusted EBITDA will be breakeven. Assuming the successful completion of the Solsys transaction as of the beginning of our second quarter, we will add the Soslys revenue stream, which generated $24 million of revenue in calendar 2018 and is growing at a rate in excess of 25%. We will provide further combined company guidance after the transaction is completed.”

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Company has presented the following non-GAAP financial measures in this press release: EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. The Company defines EBITDA as net income (loss) as reported under GAAP, plus depreciation and amortization expense, interest expense and income tax expense (benefit). The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA plus non-cash stock compensation expense, merger and acquisition transaction costs, and engineering costs associated with its development of its next generation platform, which will not be a future on-going cost as the project was completed.

We present these non-GAAP measures because we believe these measures are useful indicators of our operating performance. Our management uses these non-GAAP measures principally as a measure of our operating performance and believes that these measures are useful to investors because they are frequently used by analysts, investors and other interested parties to evaluate the operating performance of companies in our industry. We also believe that these measures are useful to our management and investors as a measure of comparative operating performance from period to period.
