In this article:

BOULDER, CO / ACCESSWIRE / November 14, 2023 / 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 second quarter that ended September 30, 2023.

The Company posted quarterly product net revenue of $1.75 million and service net revenue of $74 thousand, or total net revenue of $1.83 million for a quarterly net loss of $7 thousand, or $0.00 per diluted share. These results compare to product net revenue of $1.70 million and no service net revenue, or total net revenue of $1.70 million for a quarterly net loss of $279 thousand, or $(0.02) per diluted share, in the year-ago quarter. Gross margin on product net revenue was 47% in the fiscal 2024 second quarter and 49% in the fiscal 2023 second quarter.

The Company posted six months product net revenue of $3.37 million and service net revenue of $114 thousand, or total net revenue of $3.48 million for a six-month net loss of $148 thousand, or $(0.01) per diluted share. These results compare to product net revenue of $3.40 million and service net revenue of $459 thousand, or total net revenue of $3.86 million for a six-month net loss of $15 thousand, or $0.00 per diluted share, in the year-ago six months. Gross margin on product net revenue was 50% in the fiscal 2024 six months and 49% in the fiscal 2023 six months.

"The fiscal 2024 second 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 working to recreate that revenue stream with 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.
