Third Quarter Fiscal 2016 Financial Results
Total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2016 was $5.4 million, an increase of 2%, compared to $5.3 million for the same period in fiscal 2015.

The sale or consignment of BoneScalpels in the U.S. is related to the size and quality of high volume surgeons in larger hospitals as assigned by our AIM targeting system. Those hospitals may require multiple user sign-offs and take a longer time for approval. Upon approval we believe we have a higher valued customer with more surgeon users and higher disposable usage BoneScalpel revenue in the United States increased 60% to $2.0 million during third quarter fiscal 2016 compared to $1.2 million during the same period in fiscal 2015.

Nine-Months Fiscal 2016 Financial Results
Total revenue for the nine-months ended March 31, 2016 was $16.7 million, an 8% increase, compared to $15.5 million for the same period in fiscal 2015. The increase was attributable to a 41% increase in domestic BoneScalpel revenue to approximately $5.7 million and a 48% increase in SonicOne OR revenue to approximately $2.0 million. Recurring revenue for the nine-month period increased 30% to $11.4 million compared to $8.8 million in the comparable nine-month period in 2015.

Michael A. McManus Jr., President and CEO of Misonix, said, "We continue to make consistent progress in growing our business with our razor/razorblade model continuing to delivers increased results. Recurring revenue for the quarter increased 32% to $4.0 million compared to last year's third quarter. For the nine-month period recurring revenue increased 30% to $11.4 million. We were particularly pleased with BoneScalpel disposable sales increasing 57% for the third quarter and 44% on a year-to-date basis.

"Our market research and better data metrics on our domestic markets, enable us to identify the hospital targets that generate the highest frequency of orthopedic procedures that would benefit from our products and technology. We are now focusing our sales and marketing efforts to strategically place our BoneScalpel instruments in these high utilization orthopedic hospitals. While these larger institutions may take longer to approve a BoneScalpel the end result will be greater usage and increase disposable revenue. We also continue to make investments in expanding our sales and clinical team with the addition of three new Clinical Application Specialists; two new marketing personnel – one of them at the VP level; and two international sales directors to help our distributor partners and representatives drive more opportunities worldwide."

Mr. McManus continued, "International sales were down marginally for the quarter and the nine-months. As noted in many companies recent earnings releases reported markets in China and Russia continue to be challenging. Without China and Russia included in our numbers, international revenue increased 17% for the nine months ended March 31, 2016. These are large markets that offer great potential and we will remain well positioned as economic conditions in those markets improve.

"Going forward, the financial underpinnings of the Company continue to be strong. We maintain a solid cash position of approximately $8.4 million, we carry no long-term debt and continue to fund operations from internally generated cash flow. We believe there are great opportunities ahead in the coming quarters."
