Electromed, Inc. Reports Higher Third Quarter Revenues and Profits
New Prague, Minnesota – May 12, 2015 - Electromed, Inc. (NYSE MKT: ELMD) today announced financial results for the three- and nine-month periods ended March 31, 2015. Net revenues for the third quarter of fiscal 2015 rose approximately 15% to $4.56 million, compared to $3.96 million in the same quarter of fiscal 2014. The Company reported net income of $37,000, or $0.00 cents per basic and diluted share, for the third quarter of fiscal 2015, compared to a net loss of $1,004,000, or ($0.12) per basic and diluted share, for the same period of fiscal 2014.
Growth in total net revenues was attributable to strong results in the home care market where revenue increased by approximately 18.5%, or $0.6 million, compared to the same period of fiscal 2014. Home care sales increased due to a greater number of approvals from third party payers, such as insurance companies, Medicare and Medicaid, for the Company’s SmartVest™ products. International sales decreased by 44%, or $128,000, due primarily to the timing of orders placed by international distributors in the first quarter of fiscal 2015. Institutional and government sales increased 30%, or $131,000, compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2014 as a result of the continued focused efforts of our sales force.
Gross margins in the third quarter of fiscal 2015 were 69.3%, up from 63.7% in the third quarter of fiscal 2014. The increase in gross profit percentage resulted primarily from the increase in domestic home care revenue at higher average selling price and greater referral to approval percentage, as compared with the same period in the prior year. The gross margin was also negatively affected by an impairment charge of $70,000, taken on tools that became obsolete during the third quarter of fiscal 2015 as we implemented certain improved manufacturing processes that reduce the cost of producing the SmartVest SQL™. Over time, the Company expects to bring manufacturing costs for the SQL product roughly in line with previous products. Operating expenses, which include selling, general and administrative (SG&A) and research and development (R&D), declined to 68% of revenue compared with 69% of revenue in the third quarter of fiscal 2014. The decline resulted from the higher level of net revenues in the third quarter of fiscal 2015. Operating expenses rose slightly as a result of higher sales commission and bonus expenses due to higher revenue and profitability and higher consulting fees for sales training, information technology improvements, and a contract employee.
The Company generated $558,000 of cash from operations in the third quarter and finished the quarter with over $2.9 million of cash on hand.
For the nine months ended March 31, 2015, revenue increased 31%, to $14.2 million, compared to the same period of fiscal 2014. Gross margins were 69.4%, up from 68% in the third quarter of fiscal 2014, while net income increased to $837,000 or $0.10 per basic and diluted share compared to a net loss of $1,579,000, or ($0.19) per basic and diluted share, in the same period of the prior year.

Kathleen Skarvan, Electromed’s chief executive officer, commented, “I am very pleased that we reported our fourth consecutive profitable quarter and continued to see year-over-year revenue growth. Revenue growth was 15 percent compared to the prior year quarter attributable primarily to growth in home care sales. We continue to see year-over-year new referral growth and increases in the average reimbursement per approved referral. On a sequential quarter comparison, revenue declined due to a decrease in home care approvals primarily attributable to third party payer referral mix. We believe the quarter’s lower approvals are not indicative of a longer term trend.
Institutional revenue grew 30% compared to the prior year quarter. While it is a lower percentage of our total revenue, this growth in revenue suggests that our focus on this sales channel is yielding results. We expect to offer the SQL product to institutions during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015. We believe that the differentiated features of SQL from our previous model, SV2100, may generate interest from institutions that currently utilize a competitor’s device.
Cash flow continues to be positive due to process improvement by our reimbursement team and improved collections. I am very proud of the entire Electromed team as they have worked diligently to return Electromed to consistent revenue growth and profitability. They are a talented group with an intense focus on improving the experience patients have with our products. The Electromed team understands that our products have a significant impact on the lives of patients and they approach that responsibility with passion and commitment.”
