Stavros Vizirgianakis, President and Chief Executive Officer of Misonix stated, “Misonix’s record fiscal second quarter revenue results again highlight the value of our leading ultrasonic medical device platform and continued execution against our strategy to transform our operating model into a rapidly growing business with high-margin recurring revenue streams. Our domestic and international sales growth reflects rising market demand for our products, which led to our highest ever quarterly revenue, including 26% growth in our consumables business and a near doubling of our equipment sales. We are particularly encouraged by our ability to grow total revenue by 38% while also maintaining our gross margin above 70%, further highlighting the leverage we are achieving from the planned shift in our sales mix toward higher margin products and the positive impact the transition to a consignment model is having across our domestic sales.
“Our initiatives to position Misonix for near and long term growth and profitability are yielding positive results across many areas of our business. Our consumable products are driving growth in our recurring revenue base both domestically and internationally with 22% growth in consumable products in fiscal 2018 to date. In addition, we are pleased with the strong performance our core products, including the 36% rise in BoneScalpel sales and the robust sales growth in SonaStar both in the US and abroad during the quarter.
“Our strategic investments in various areas of the business also contributed to the quarterly revenue growth and we expect growing returns from these investments in the second half of this fiscal year. During the second quarter, we increased our R&D spend to accelerate our comprehensive product development roadmap and now expect to bring our next generation of therapeutic ultrasonic medical device platform to market by the end of 2018. In addition, we expanded our commercialization team to over 43 sales personnel, which will allow us to better penetrate both existing and new markets. These results provide us with added confidence in our ability to reach our goal of having Misonix consumable products utilized in 100,000 surgical procedures per year across the world within the next three years.
“Looking forward, Misonix has several significant opportunities to create substantial shareholder value and we remain confident that we will end fiscal 2018 with double-digit top-line growth with revenues exceeding $31 million as we capitalize on the recently implemented sales and marketing initiatives and further benefit from our ongoing efforts to transform Misonix into a customer centric and R&D-driven business.”

Joe Dwyer, Chief Financial Officer, added, “The second quarter and first half of fiscal 2018, marked continued progress against our strategic initiatives which led to record second quarter revenue, positive adjusted EBITDA, and cash generated from operations. As a result, we strengthened our liquidity position, ending the quarter with over $12.1 million in cash while continuing to operate debt free. Our financial performance in the first half of fiscal 2018, as well as our expectation for full year revenue growth, provides us with added confidence that Misonix will benefit from enhanced scale, growth and profitability, thus supporting our goals for enhancing shareholder value.
“In the second quarter, we recorded a $5.8 million non-cash tax charge, which represents the revaluation of our deferred tax assets to reflect the lower corporate tax rate as of January 1, 2018 as a result of the recently enacted tax reform, in addition to a valuation allowance against our remaining deferred tax assets based on our current assumptions relating our future utilization of our tax net operating loss carryforwards. This non-cash charge has no impact on our ongoing business operations.
“As we look to the second half of our fiscal year, historically the strongest for our business, we remain confident in our ability to leverage the recently implemented operating and sales initiatives along with Misonix’s capital structure and financial flexibility to pursue return-focused initiatives via our in-house R&D and growth efforts, as well as through our disciplined and ongoing M&A initiatives, including pursuing opportunistic, accretive tuck-in acquisitions that will expand our product portfolio and market reach.”

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 the net 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 engineering costs associated with its development of its next generation platform, which will not be a recurring cost when the project is completed in late 2018.
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.
