On September 27, 2019, Misonix acquired privately held Solsys Medical, LLC (“Solsys”). The actual results presented for the three months ended September 30, 2020 reflect the Company’s legacy Misonix operations as well as revenue and expenses from the acquired Solsys operations. The comparable three-month period ended September 30, 2019 reflects Misonix’s operations as well as four days from the acquired Solsys operations.

First Quarter Fiscal 2021 Highlights:

● The novel coronavirus disease (“COVID-19”) continued to materially impact the industry and Misonix’s business in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 as elective procedures were delayed in order to treat patients affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and to allow health providers to comply with new safety measures.

● Fiscal 2021 first quarter revenue increased 59.1% to $17.7 million, compared to $11.1 million in the fiscal 2020 first quarter. On a pro forma basis, assuming Misonix had acquired Solsys for the full fiscal 2020 first quarter, total revenue for the fiscal 2021 first quarter decreased 9.0%, and:

○	Domestic surgical revenue increased 21.5%
○	International revenue declined 35.0%
○	Wound revenue declined 12.6%

● Gross profit percentage on sales for the fiscal 2021 first quarter remained relatively flat at 71.2%, compared with 71.0% in the fiscal 2020 first quarter.

● Operating expenses increased $6.5 million during the fiscal 2021 first quarter as compared with the fiscal 2020 first quarter, reflecting incremental operating expenses related to Solsys Medical operations.

● Adjusted EBITDA narrowed to a loss of $2.2 million for the fiscal 2021 first quarter.

● Net loss for the fiscal 2021 first quarter was $5.0 million, or a loss of $0.29 per diluted share, compared to net income of $1.8 million, or net income of $0.17 per diluted share, in the fiscal 2020 first quarter.

● In September 2020, Misonix entered into an exclusive supply and distribution agreement with Gunze Limited for TheraGenesis® Bilayer Wound Matrix, a proprietary, FDA cleared, porcine tendon derived collagen wound matrix with a silicone film layer used to treat trauma, burn and reconstructive wounds.

Stavros Vizirgianakis, Chief Executive Officer of Misonix stated, “Misonix’s fiscal 2021 first quarter financial results reflect ongoing improvements in domestic procedural volumes and continued robust sales of our next generation Nexus platform, as highlighted in the preliminary results we announced in early October. As a result, pro-forma revenues showed a marked sequential improvement, decreasing 9.0% year-over-year from a 21.6% year-over-year decline last quarter.

“I am pleased with our ability to rapidly execute on our various operational initiatives, which has helped offset many of the challenges brought on by the pandemic across almost every aspect of our business and the global healthcare industry at large. The improved results highlight our ability to continue to grow the business and maintain healthy gross margins with stronger anticipated gains, as the world reaches some level of normality through vaccinations and improved therapeutics.

“With a dedicated and talented team, a collaborative and constructive culture, continued investments in R&D and innovations, as well as the ability to partner with other great companies to bring new solutions to market, Misonix has the strength and resources to grow, and enhance shareholder value.”

Joe Dwyer, Chief Financial Officer, added, “While we are encouraged by the sequential growth in revenue from $13.7 million in our fiscal fourth quarter to $17.7 million in the current quarter, we are also pleased with the results of our efforts to lower operating expenses and conserve cash. Our cash used in operations was $3.8 million in the current quarter, down from approximately $8.0 million in the second and third quarters of fiscal 2020. This led to an adjusted EBITDA loss of $2.2 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2021, compared with an average loss of $4.8 million for each of the two prior quarters, and allowed us to end the quarter with cash of $34.9 million.

“In addition, we continue to focus on achieving added cost efficiencies from our acquisition of Solsys Medical, and to drive incremental cost savings across the Company as a whole, while not sacrificing our ability to support revenue growth and bring new products and solutions to market. We believe these ongoing actions will assist with preserving our strong balance sheet and help us manage through the pandemic as a more effective and efficient company.”

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company has presented the following non-GAAP financial measures in this press release: Pro-forma revenue, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. The Company has presented pro forma revenue in this press release, which is a non-GAAP financial measurement. The Company acquired the operations of Solsys Medical at the end of its first quarter ended September 30, 2019. The Company has presented pro forma revenue to show revenue on a comparable basis as if Solsys had been acquired at the beginning of the comparative periods presented. The Company defines EBITDA as the 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 and M&A transaction fees. Historically, the Company excluded bad debt expense from its calculation of Adjusted EBITDA by adding bad debt expense to EBITDA. Beginning with the quarter ended September 30, 2020, the Company will no longer exclude bad debt expense from the calculation Adjusted EBITDA, and prior comparative periods will be adjusted accordingly.

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.
