Encision Reports Third Quarter Fiscal Year 2020 Results

BOULDER, Colo., Feb. 6, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Encision Inc. (PK:ECIA), a medical device company owning patented Active Electrode Monitoring (AEM®) Technology that prevents dangerous stray electrosurgical burns in minimally invasive surgery, today announced financial results for its fiscal 2020 third quarter that ended December 31, 2019.

The Company posted quarterly net revenue of $2.04 million for a quarterly net income of $70 thousand, or $0.01 per diluted share. These results compare to net revenue of $2.12 million for a quarterly net loss of $84 thousand, or $(0.01) per diluted share, in the year-ago quarter. Gross margin on net revenue was 53% in the fiscal 2019 and 50% in the fiscal 2018 third quarters. Gross margin on net revenue was higher in this year's third quarter than last year's third quarter principally as a result of lower labor costs, per unit of inventory.

The Company posted nine months net revenue of $5.89 million for a nine months net loss of $82 thousand, or $(0.01) per diluted share. These results compare to net revenue of $6.72 million for a nine months net loss of $53 thousand, or $0.00 per diluted share, in the year-ago nine months. Gross margin on net revenue was 52% in the fiscal 2019 nine months and 53% in the fiscal 2018 nine months. Gross margin on net revenue was lower in the fiscal 2019 nine months as compared to the fiscal 2018 nine months primarily as a result of higher material costs, especially as a result of tariffs on our material costs and higher labor and overhead costs, per unit of inventory.

"We look forward to the fourth fiscal quarter and next fiscal year," said Greg Trudel, President and CEO of Encision Inc. "We are presently in discussions with a major healthcare company regarding collaboration on an engineering project that would incorporate our AEM^® Technology as well as offer the potential for a long-term partnership. We are also looking forward to a new product introduction in the next fiscal year that will open new account opportunities, enable customers to reduce per procedure costs, and drive revenue growth for Encision."
