BOULDER, CO / ACCESSWIRE / February 14, 2024 / Encision Inc. (OTC PINK:ECIA), a medical device company owning patented Active Electrode Monitoring (AEM®) Technology that prevents dangerous radiant energy burns in minimally invasive surgery, today announced financial results for its fiscal 2024 third quarter that ended December 31, 2023.
The Company posted quarterly product net revenue of $1.56 million and service net revenue of $20 thousand, or total net revenue of $1.58 million for a quarterly net loss of $207 thousand, or $(0.02) per diluted share. These results compare to product net revenue of $1.68 million and no service net revenue, or total net revenue of $1.68 million for a quarterly net loss of $216 thousand, or $(0.02) per diluted share, in the year-ago quarter. Gross margin on product net revenue was 46% in the fiscal 2024 third quarter and 53% in the fiscal 2023 third quarter.
The Company posted nine months product net revenue of $4.93 million and service net revenue of $134 thousand, or total net revenue of $5.06 million for a nine months net loss of $355 thousand, or $(0.03) per diluted share. These results compare to product net revenue of $5.08 million and service net revenue of $459 thousand, or total net revenue of $5.54 million for a nine months net loss of $231 thousand, or ($0.02) per diluted share, in the year-ago nine months. Gross margin on product net revenue was 48% in the fiscal 2024 nine months and 50% in the fiscal 2023 nine months.
"The fiscal 2024 third quarter presented significant challenges for Encision and for the medical device market in general," said Gregory Trudel, President and CEO of Encision Inc. "The demand for surgical procedures was diminished during the pandemic period and its rebound has been a slow process. The market has seen a number of positive indicators for an increase in demand and Encision continues to drive toward them. The service revenue that we were able to drive in the previous year was very helpful and we are starting to gain traction in recreating that revenue stream with a few new partners and opportunities to collaborate on our foundational technologies."
Encision Inc. designs and markets a portfolio of high-performance surgical instrumentation that delivers advances in patient safety with AEM technology, surgical performance, and value to hospitals across a broad range of minimally invasive surgical procedures. Based in Boulder, Colorado, the company pioneered the development and deployment of Active Electrode Monitoring, AEM technology, to eliminate dangerous stray energy burns during minimally invasive procedures.
