INVO Bioscience Reports Third Quarter 2022 Financial Results
Company to Host Conference Call Today at 4:30pm ET SARASOTA, Fla., Nov. 14, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- INVO Bioscience, Inc. (Nasdaq: INVO) ("INVO" or the "Company"), a commercial-stage fertility company focused on expanding access to advanced treatment worldwide with its INVOcell® medical device and the intravaginal culture ("IVC") procedure it enables, today announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2022 and provided a business update. Q3 2022 and Recent Operational Highlights
Management Commentary "Our three operating INVO Centers made strong progress during the quarter, with revenue from the consolidated and non-consolidated centers combined increasing 1,100% compared to the year ago period and up 111% sequentially," commented Steve Shum, CEO of INVO. "Furthermore, since we regained full U.S. commercialization rights in February 2022, our year-to-date product sales now include sales to U.S. IVF clinics and increased 74% sequentially during the third quarter. Our multi-channel strategy of supporting, servicing, and expanding across existing IVF clinic networks and building new, dedicated INVO Centers is progressing as planned." "As we highlighted in our previous earnings report, we've added a third key component to our commercial strategy, which now includes acquisitions of existing IVF centers where we can work with a growing number of like-minded physicians that share INVO's mission to democratize fertility care by joining forces in expanding access to treatment. We recently signed a non-binding letter for an acquisition target, have completed due diligence for this opportunity and are working to finalize definitive agreements. We look forward to sharing more in the future on this specific opportunity, and our acquisition strategy." Financial Results Revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2022, was $235,321 compared to $218,874 for the three months ended September 30, 2021. In the third quarter of the prior year, the Company had license revenue of $178,571 compared to none during the most recent quarter. Clinic revenue from the Company's consolidated INVO Center was $176,395 during the third quarter of 2022 compared to $37,513 for the three months ended September 30, 2021. Gross revenue from all INVO Centers combined was $450,131, an increase of 1,100% compared to the year ago period and up 111% sequentially. Revenue attributable to INVOcell product sales was $58,926 during the third quarter of 2022 compared to $2,790 in the year ago third quarter. Gross margins were approximately 46% and 93% for the three months ended September 30, 2022, and 2021, respectively. The decrease in gross margin reflects both the lack of Ferring license revenue in the third quarter of 2022 compared to the same period in 2021, as well as consolidated INVO Center cost of goods sold expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2022, were $2.5 million compared to $2.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. The increase of $0.1 million, or 2%, was primarily the result of increased personnel expenses. Non-cash, stock-based compensation expense in the period was $0.5 million, compared to $0.5 million for the same period in the prior year. R&D expenses were approximately $0.2 million and $0.06 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022, and September 30, 2021, respectively. Loss from equity method joint ventures for the three months ended September 30, 2022, was $0.02 million compared to $0.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. The decrease in loss is due to an increase in revenue in the equity method JV's and a decrease in expenses associated with onetime startup costs. Adjusted EBITDA (see Adjusted EBITDA Table) for the three months ended September 30, 2022, was $(2.0) million, which included $0.2 million loss attributable to our joint ventures, compared to adjusted EBITDA of $(1.6) million for the quarter ended September 30, 2021, which included a $0.3 million loss attributable to our joint ventures. As of September 30, 2022, the Company had approximately $0.3 million in cash. The Company recently closed on $0.35 million of interim debt funding pursuant to the issuance of demand notes and is continuing its efforts to secure additional funding for the Company. Use of Non-GAAP Measure Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure. This measure is not intended to be a substitute for those financial measures reported in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA has been included because management believes that, when considered together with the GAAP figures, it provides meaningful information related to our operating performance and liquidity and can enhance an overall understanding of financial results and trends. Adjusted EBITDA may be calculated by us differently than other companies that disclose measures with the same or similar terms. See our attached financials for a reconciliation of this non-GAAP measure to the nearest GAAP measure.

About INVO Bioscience We are a commercial-stage fertility company dedicated to expanding the assisted reproductive technology ("ART") marketplace by making fertility care accessible and inclusive to people around the world. Our primary mission is to implement new medical technologies aimed at increasing the availability of affordable, high-quality, patient-centered fertility care. Our flagship product is INVOcell®, a revolutionary medical device that allows fertilization and early embryo development to take place in vivo within the woman's body. This treatment solution is the world's first intravaginal culture technique for the incubation of oocytes and sperm during fertilization and early embryo development. This technique, designated as "IVC", provides patients a more natural, intimate, and more affordable experience in comparison to other ART treatments. We believe the IVC procedure can deliver comparable results at a fraction of the cost of traditional in vitro fertilization ("IVF") and is a significantly more effective treatment than intrauterine insemination ("IUI"). Our commercialization strategy is focused on the opening of dedicated "INVO Centers" offering the INVOcell® and IVC procedure (with three centers in North America now operational), in addition to continuing to distribute and sell our technology solution into existing fertility clinics.
