Isoray Announces Record First Quarter Fiscal 2020 Financial Results

Record Revenue and Gross Profit
Revenue Increased 48% Year-Over-Year

/EIN News/ -- RICHLAND, Wash., Nov. 12, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Isoray, Inc. (NYSE AMERICAN: ISR), a medical technology company and innovator in seed brachytherapy powering expanding treatment options throughout the body, today announced its financial results for the first quarter fiscal 2020 ended September 30, 2019.

Revenue for the first quarter of fiscal 2020 grew 48% to a record $2.32 million versus $1.56 million in the prior year comparable period. The revenue increase was driven by 51% growth in the company’s core prostate brachytherapy business. Prostate brachytherapy represented 90% of total revenue for the first quarter of fiscal 2020 compared to 88% in the prior year comparable period. Non-prostate brachytherapy revenue in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 was comprised primarily of sales to treat brain, gynecological, colorectal, and other cancers.

Gross profit as a percentage of revenues increased to 53.4% for the three months ended September 30, 2019 versus 33.5% in the prior year comparable period. First quarter gross profit increased 136% to $1.24 million versus $0.52 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2019, largely attributed to increased sales and significantly lower isotope unit costs compared to the prior year comparable period, continued leverage of the fixed cost components within costs of sales, and more efficient isotope usage. The lower isotope unit costs are related to the previously discussed supply chain change made at the end of calendar year 2018. 

Isoray CEO Lori Woods said, “These are exciting times for Isoray. We are very pleased by the continued progress we have made and the accelerated growth we have achieved. These results speak to the momentum we are realizing from the strategic direction and changes we have implemented to chart a new course for Isoray. Clearly, the strategies we’ve employed and the steps we have taken to establish Isoray’s leadership role in the prostate brachytherapy industry over the past year are resulting in accelerated organic growth and market share gains. A clear example can be seen in the trailing twelve months where our net new physician customer count increased 26% versus the previous twelve month period. We still have work to do and we will remain focused on our goals for growth and profitability.”

Total operating expenses in the first quarter were $2.07 million compared to $2.04 million in the prior year period. Total research and development expenses decreased 45% versus the prior year comparable period. The decrease in total research and development expenses was primarily the result of a mutually agreed termination of a grant agreement which resulted in a reversal of the accrual, as well as the year-over-year decline in collaborative research expenses related to GammaTile Therapy. The Company expects R&D expenses to increase back to or above levels in prior recent quarters. Sales and marketing expenses increased 26% versus the prior year comparable period. The increase in sales and marketing expenses was driven primarily by increased headcount and incentive compensation related to the increase in revenue as well as increased travel expenses versus the prior year comparable period. General and administrative expenses increased 13% versus the prior year comparable period, primarily the result of an increase in headcount and incentive compensation related to the increase in revenue. Total operating expenses for the first quarter of fiscal 2020 included a change in the estimate of an asset retirement obligation as a result of a lease term extension during the first quarter of fiscal 2020, which decreased total operating expenses by $73,000.

The net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2019 was $0.82 million or ($0.01) per basic and diluted share versus a net loss of $1.51 million or ($0.02) per basic and diluted share in the comparable prior year period. Basic and diluted per share results are based on weighted average shares outstanding of approximately 67.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 versus 66.1 million in the comparable prior year period.

Cash, cash equivalents, and certificates of deposit at the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2020 totaled $4.58 million and the company had no debt. Shareholders’ equity at the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2020 totaled $6.96 million.
