Electromed, Inc. Reports Higher First Quarter Revenues
New Prague, Minnesota - November 12, 2014 - Electromed, Inc.
(NYSE MKT: ELMD) today announced financial results for the three-month period ended September 30, 2014. Net revenues for the first
quarter of fiscal 2015 rose approximately 40% to $4.8 million, compared to $3.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2014. The
Company reported net income of $378,000, or $0.05 cents per basic and diluted share, for the first quarter of fiscal 2015, compared
to a net loss of $335,000, or ($0.04) cents per basic and diluted share, for the same period of fiscal 2014.
Kathleen Skarvan, Electromed's chief executive officer, commented,
"The first quarter results are further evidence that we have made significant progress on our strategy to strengthen and
grow the Company's core business, as demonstrated by our strong revenue growth which resulted in improved profitability and
Growth in total net revenues was attributable to strong results in the home
care market where sales increased by approximately 35%, or $1.0 million, compared to the same period of fiscal 2014. Home care
sales increased due to continued improvements in the Company's reimbursement operations, including new third party payer
contracts and process improvements, which led to faster approval cycle times, higher average selling price and greater referral
to approval percentage. International sales increased by 168%, or $250,000, due primarily to the favorable timing of orders placed
by international distributors. Institutional sales increased 25%, or $105,000, compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2014.
Gross margins in the first quarter of fiscal 2015 improved to 69.1% from
68.9% in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 as stronger revenues offset the higher manufacturing costs for the SmartVest SQL
product as compared to the predecessor product, SV2100 . Over time, the Company expects to bring manufacturing costs for
the SQL product roughly in line with previous products. Operating expenses, which include selling, general and administrative (SG&A)
and research and development (R&D), declined to 61% of sales compared with 86% of sales in the first quarter of fiscal 2014.
The decline resulted from the higher level of net sales in the first quarter of fiscal 2015. Operating expenses rose slightly due
to higher sales commission expense and additional personnel in the reimbursement area, offset by a reduction in R&D expenses.
The Company generated $945,000 of cash flow from operations in the first
quarter and finished the quarter with over $2.2 million of cash on hand.
"The fundamentals of the quarter are encouraging, including the market's
acceptance of our newest generation device, the SQL, and I believe there are opportunities for us to expand our market share,"
said Skarvan. "Amidst the challenging reimbursement environment, we have streamlined our reimbursement and enhanced the customer
services processes and are having more referrals approved resulting in higher net revenues. We are continuing to upgrade our sales
team to maximize their productivity and effectiveness and improve domestic home care lead generation, our highest opportunity for
