FARMINGDALE, N.Y., Nov. 7, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Misonix (Nasdaq: MSON), a provider of minimally invasive therapeutic ultrasonic medical devices that enhance clinical outcomes, announced today financial results for the first quarter of fiscal year 2018, ended September 30, 2017.

Financial Highlights for the First Quarter:

  • Revenue for the first quarter of fiscal year 2018 was $7.3 million, an increase of 18% compared with $6.2 million in the previous year's first quarter.
  • Consumables sales in the United States increased 25% to $4.1 million in the first quarter of the new fiscal year compared to $3.3 million in the comparable quarter of fiscal 2017.
  • The gross profit percentage for the quarter was 70.1% primarily from a strong mix of higher margin consumables, compared to 69.0% in last year's first quarter.
  • For the first quarter of fiscal year 2018, the Company reported a net loss of $(1.2) million, or $(0.14) per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $(0.5) million, or $(0.07) per diluted share, in the first quarter of fiscal year 2017.
  • At September 30, 2017, the Company maintained cash of $10.5 million with no long-term debt.

Stavros Vizirgianakis, President and Chief Executive Officer of Misonix, said, "Sales orders continued to be strong in the first quarter of fiscal year 2018, with double-digit revenue growth, picking up where we left off in fiscal 2017. Total revenue increased 18% in the first quarter of the new year primarily attributable to a 25% increase in domestic consumables sales. A significant contribution to the increase in domestic sales was made by the addition of new clinical sales specialists to support the sales activities of our distribution channel. The channel, coupled with our team of 28 clinical sales specialists, was successful in driving a 35% increase in BoneScalpel revenue in the U.S. over the prior year. We are making steady progress with the surgical community, and the hospitals where they practice, to further embed our technology in their respective surgical suites."

"At the recent 32nd Annual Meeting of the North American Spine Society," Mr. Vizirgianakis continued, "Dr. Wade Jensen of the Center for Neurosciences, Orthopaedics & Spine ("CNOS") presented data showing a significant reduction in the use of bone grafting material when the Misonix BoneScalpel is employed compared to the use of standard power drill instruments. An estimated $1.9 billion is spent annually on bone graft substitutes. This is valuable data as we are able to show that our products contribute significant value to the overall healthcare system by reducing costs in spinal fusion procedures."

The Company also recently entered into its most significant license, royalty and manufacturing agreement with Hunan Xing Hang Rui Kang Bio-Technologies Co., Ltd., a Chinese corporation, where Misonix will receive at least $11 million in revenue and royalties over the next four years, and further strengthen its balance sheet.
