Management Comments:
“We are pleased to deliver exceptional growth in sales of our Advanced Energy products which exceeded our expectations for the second quarter, reflecting solid execution by our team and continued improvement in the broader operating environment,” said Charlie Goodwin, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Most notably, we saw impressive growth in global sales of our Advanced Energy handpieces, which increased by over 270% year-over-year, driven by utilization-based demand both domestically and internationally. We were also pleased to see important contributions from global sales of our generators, which increased by more than 210% year-over-year, reflecting strong adoption of our technology in the U.S. and key international markets as the capital equipment environment continued to recover.”
Mr. Goodwin continued: “We are increasing our 2021 revenue outlook today to reflect both our stronger-than-expected sales performance during the second quarter, as well as our improved expectations for the second half of the year. While the pace and timing of recovery in the global capital equipment environment remains uncertain, we expect to see continued improvement coupled with strong utilization trends as we move through the balance of the year. We look forward to building on our recent momentum by continuing to raise awareness of our innovative Helium Plasma Technology and its potential benefits for surgeons and patients around the world.”

Second Quarter 2021 Results:
Total revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2021, increased $6.9 million, or 161%, to $11.2 million, compared to $4.3 million in the prior year period. Advanced Energy segment sales increased $7.1 million, or 248% year-over-year, to $10.0 million, compared to $2.9 million in the prior year period. OEM segment sales decreased $0.2 million, or 13% year-over-year, to $1.2 million, compared to $1.4 million in the prior year period. For the second quarter 2021, revenue in the United States increased $4.0 million, or 118% year-over-year, to $7.4 million, and international revenue increased $2.9 million, or 325% year-over-year, to $3.8 million. In the second quarter of 2021, we saw increased global utilization based demand for our handpieces and adoption of our generator technology despite the continued headwinds of the COVID-19 pandemic, while the same period in 2020 was severely impacted by it.
Gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 2021, increased $5.4 million, or 260% year-over-year, to $7.5 million, compared to $2.1 million in the prior year period. Gross margin for the three months ended June 30, 2021, was 67.1%, compared to 48.7% for the same period in 2020. The increase in profit margins for the three months ended June 30, 2021 from the prior year period is primarily attributable to inventory impairments in the prior year period and sales mix between our Advanced Energy and OEM segments; the increase was partially offset by geographic mix within our Advanced Energy segment and higher inbound shipping costs.
Operating expenses for the second quarter of 2021 increased $3.3 million, or 40% year-over-year, to $11.6 million, compared to $8.3 million for the second quarter of 2020. The year-over-year change in operating expenses was driven by a $2.1 million increase in selling, general and administrative expenses, a $0.9 million increase in salaries and related costs, a $0.2 million increase in professional services, and a $0.1 million increase in research and development expenses.
Income tax expense for the second quarter of 2021 was $0.1 million, compared to income tax benefit of $1.5 million for the second quarter of 2020. The year-over-year change in income tax expense (benefit) was primarily due to the
2
| ||||||||
net operating loss carryback recognized in the second quarter of 2020, which did not impact income tax expense in the second quarter of 2021.
Net loss attributable to stockholders for second quarter of 2021 was $4.0 million, or $0.12 per share, compared to a net loss of $4.7 million, or $0.14 per share, for the second quarter of 2020. Net loss attributable to stockholders in the second quarter of 2020 included an income tax benefit of $1.5 million.
First Six Months of 2021 Results:
Total revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2021, increased $10.6 million, or 114%, to $19.9 million, compared to $9.3 million in the prior year period. Advanced Energy segment sales increased $10.8 million, or 157% year-over-year, to $17.6 million, compared to $6.9 million in the prior year period. OEM segment sales decreased $0.2 million, or 9% year-over-year, to $2.2 million, compared to $2.4 million in the prior year period. For the first half of 2021, revenue in the United States increased $5.9 million, or 85% year-over-year, to $12.9 million, and international revenue increased $4.6 million, or 203% year-over-year, to $6.9 million.
Net loss attributable to stockholders for the first half of 2021 was $8.9 million, or $0.26 per share, compared to a net loss of $6.6 million, or $0.19 per share, for the first half of 2020. Net loss attributable to stockholders in the first half of 2020 included an income tax benefit of $6.4 million.
Full Year 2021 Financial Outlook:
The Company is updating financial guidance for the year ending December 31, 2021 to:
•Total revenue in the range of $40.6 million to $42.6 million, representing growth of 46% to 54% year-over-year, compared to total revenue of $27.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. The Company’s prior guidance range for total revenue was $37.6 million to $39.7 million, representing growth of 36% to 43% year-over-year.
◦Total revenue guidance assumes:
•Advanced Energy revenue in the range of approximately $36.0 million to $38.0 million, representing growth of 62% to 71% year-over-year, compared to Advanced Energy revenue of $22.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. The Company’s prior guidance range for Advanced Energy revenue was $33.1 million to $35.2 million, representing growth of 49% to 59% year-over-year. The Advanced Energy revenue range assumes that U.S. growth is only driven by contributions from Renuvion sales related to its use as a sub-dermal coagulator following liposuction procedures and that international growth is driven primarily by demand in existing international markets.
▪OEM revenue of approximately $4.6 million, representing a decline of 16% year-over-year, compared to $5.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. The Company’s prior guidance for OEM revenue was approximately $4.4 million, representing a decline of 20% year-over-year.
•Net loss attributable to stockholders in the range of $19.3 million to $18.0 million, compared to net loss attributable to stockholders of $11.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2020.
