Axonics Announces Third Quarter 2019 Financial Results and Operational Update
IRVINE, CA - November 14, 2019 - Axonics Modulation Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: AXNX), a medical technology company that has developed and is commercializing novel implantable Sacral Neuromodulation ("SNM") devices for the treatment of urinary and bowel dysfunction, reported today financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2019, and provided an update on operational initiatives.
Recent Business Highlights
Raymond W. Cohen, CEO of Axonics, commented, "We are satisfied with the results of the third quarter considering the fact that a significant number of our small, but growing customer base in Europe did not perform implants in August during the summer holiday season. While we will continue to add new customer accounts in Germany and Switzerland and look to increase implants in England to close out 2019, the Company is now focused on the launch of our product in the U.S. market."
Cohen continued, "Given the attendance at our physician seminar series and enthusiastic response by the SNM implanting community to our product, we have made excellent strides towards establishing Axonics as a serious contender in sacral neuromodulation by bringing innovation and awareness to a therapy that has been underutilized. With respect to FDA approval for urinary clinical indications, we can now begin to communicate the outstanding clinical results of the Axonics r-SNM System. Survey results from the seminar attendees clearly indicate that these physicians place a high value on clinical results and state that when considering what product to offer their patients, efficacy is the single most important factor, followed by a long-lived device. Our 146-person U.S. field team is now able to directly and effectively deliver this message while providing the level of support required to convert customers to Axonics and retain them."
