Management Commentary
“We are pleased to report our second consecutive quarter of more than 100% year-over-year revenue growth, and a reduced loss,” said Harold Wolcott, President of BSD Medical. “Our higher revenues are primarily from increasing sales of our MicroThermX products. Our operating costs and expenses remained relatively unchanged from the prior year, even though we more than doubled total revenues. By increasing sales and reducing operating costs and expenses, we significantly reduced our net loss, compared with the same prior year periods.”
“BSD is very encouraged with the progress and the sales momentum for the MicroThermX system under our exclusive master distribution agreement with Terumo Europe NV. Terumo has already established sales in many of the Western European countries. Terumo will now expand its marketing into additional Western European countries, Eastern European countries, and several other markets defined in the distribution agreement,” Mr. Wolcott added. “We see tremendous potential for the MicroThermX Microwave Ablation System to meet the worldwide market trend toward effective, less invasive and more cost-effective therapies.”
“With the recent approval by the Taiwan Food and Drug Administration for the BSD-2000 Hyperthermia System, we were able to ship additional hyperthermia systems in the first half of fiscal 2014. Our distributor in Taiwan has also committed to purchase other BSD-2000 Hyperthermia Systems before the end of BSD’s current fiscal year,” Mr. Wolcott concluded.
Second Quarter and First Half of Fiscal 2014 Operating Summary
BSD reported total revenues for the second quarter of fiscal year 2014 of $1.7 million, more than doubling the $0.8 million from the second quarter of fiscal year 2013. This increase in revenues was driven primarily by increased sales of MicroThermX products and the sale of two hyperthermia systems. The Company has a current sales backlog of $1.6 million.
Gross margin was $0.8 million, or 45% of total revenues, for the second quarter of fiscal 2014, compared to $0.4 million, or 49% of total revenues, for the same period last year. Lower gross margin percent resulted from a change in product mix.
Operating costs and expenses declined slightly to $2.2 million during the second quarter of fiscal 2014 from $2.3 million in the comparable prior year period.
Increased sales and lower operating costs and expenses resulted in a reduction in our net loss. The Company reported a net loss of $1.5 million, or $0.04 per share, for the second quarter of fiscal 2014, compared with a net loss of $1.9 million, or $0.06 per share, for the second quarter of fiscal 2013.
Total revenues for the first half of fiscal 2014 increased 104% to $3.0 million, from $1.5 million in the prior year. Gross margin was $1.5 million, or 48% of total revenues, for the six months ended February 28, 2014, compared with $0.6 million, or 40% of total revenues, for the six months ended February 28, 2013. Operating costs and expenses for the first half of 2014 decreased to $4.4 million from $4.7 million in the prior year period. Net loss for the first half of fiscal 2014 declined to $3.0 million dollars, or $0.09 per share, from a net loss of $4.1 million, or $0.14 per share, for the first half of fiscal 2013.
