Michael A. McManus Jr., President and Chief Executive Officer of Misonix, commented, “Top-line results for the first half of fiscal 2013 are solid. Revenue for the six months increased 19%. We are particularly pleased with the 31% increase in international revenue for the first half of the year. We achieved strong revenue growth across our major product lines including BoneScalpel revenue that increased 99% and SonicOne revenue that increased 82%. Sales of our SonaStar product in the first half of 2013 were comparable to those of the same period last year. We are very pleased with the continuing acceptance by the surgical community worldwide of our BoneScalpel and SonicOne products. There were four abstracts submitted on the clinical benefits of using the BoneScalpel in spine surgery and three abstracts with regards to the benefits of utilizing our SonicOne product for wound healing during the first half and second fiscal quarter of 2013 respectively. On a cumulative basis, if we exclude declining revenue from our legacy products, BoneScalpel, SonicOne and SonaStar revenue increased 46% for the six months ended December 31, 2012. We are pleased with that performance.”
“Bottom-line results were impacted by an unfavorable product mix of low and high margin product deliveries, additional headcount as we continue to invest in our sales and marketing team, and increased selling expenses as more distributors become engaged in selling our products. We expect that these impacts will be offset as we continue to grow revenues in the coming quarters.”
Mr. McManus concluded, “The financial base of the Company continues to be strong with $6.9 million in cash and equivalents and zero long-term debt. We continue to make progress in expanding our business both domestically and internationally. While we are still in the early stages of executing on our plan as a focused medical device company, we are pleased with the progress made to date.”
