Bionik Laboratories Reports Third Quarter Fiscal Year 2023 Financial Results

Nine Month Shipments and Revenue Exceeds 12-month Results of Prior Fiscal Year

BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Bionik Laboratories Corp. (OTCPINK: BNKL), a robotics company providing neurological functional recovery solutions to stroke survivors and others with functional and mobility challenges, offering its technology to therapists directly and offering services to patients in its clinical centers, today reported financial results for the third quarter and nine months of fiscal year 2023, ended December 31, 2022.

Third Quarter FY 2023 Highlights

  • Bionik is continuing to roll out its new corporate strategy to operate a network of specialized Centers of Excellence for neuro-recovery care that showcase Bionik technology and solutions. The acquisition of the first center in Clermont, FL. closed in mid-September and in its first full quarter under Bionik’s management, is contributing to revenue as expected.
  • Revenue was $0.6 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2023 compared to $0.2 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2022, an increase of 214%, primarily due to five units sold in the current period compared to one unit sold in the prior fiscal year period.
  • Bionik’s sales pipeline remains healthy and continues to increase.
  • On a GAAP basis, the net loss was $1.1 million, or $(0.16) per diluted share, for the third quarter of fiscal 2023, compared to a net loss of $7.0 million, or $(1.18) per diluted share, in the corresponding period for fiscal 2022, including a pre-tax charge of $5.2 million for the impairment of goodwill and intangible assets. On a Non-GAAP basis, the net loss was $1.0 million, or $(0.15) per diluted share, for the third quarter of fiscal 2023, compared to a net loss of $1.6 million, or ($0.26) per diluted share, in the corresponding period for fiscal 2022.
  • During the quarter, Bionik secured $0.8 million in new capital from an existing investor.

Richard Russo Jr., President and Chief Executive Officer of Bionik, commented, “Bionik is having a strong year. In the third fiscal quarter, we reported a 214% increase in revenue driven by the shipment of five units. In fact, the nine month total already exceed the prior years’ results with shipments of 10 units and $1.3 million in revenue in the current period. Our sales pipeline remains healthy and continues to grow. This reflects the increased sampling and testing by large hospital and rehab organizations of our InMotion systems, which we believe are the gold standard for robotic upper extremity rehabilitation.”

“Our first neuro recovery clinic is performing to expectations in its first full quarter under Bionik’s management, after one-time start-up and acquisition costs that continue to decline. We are in active discussions with other centers that we believe will have an accretive impact on our revenue when completed. We are also exploring other strategic avenues as we work to deliver sustainable growth and successful outcomes for neurologically challenged patients.”

Third Quarter FY 2023 Financial Results

Total revenue for the third fiscal quarter was $0.6 million, an increase of 214%, compared with $0.2 million revenue in the third quarter of fiscal 2022. In the fiscal 2023 period, five units were shipped as compared to one unit in the fiscal 2022 period. Subscription revenue increased by 26% due to more subscriptions in the fiscal 2023 period as compared to the fiscal 2022 period.

Gross profit for the third fiscal quarter was $0.3 million, an increase of 104%, compared to $0.1 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2022. The gross margin was 47% compared to 73% in the prior year period. The gross margin was impacted by a less favorable sales mix and the startup and one-time costs from the acquisition of the Company’s first neuro recovery clinic.

Total operating expenses for the third fiscal quarter of fiscal 2023 were $1.3 million, a decrease of 24%, compared to $1.7 million in the third fiscal quarter of fiscal 2022, excluding the pre-tax charge of $5.2 million for the impairment of goodwill and intangible assets in the prior fiscal year period. Interest expense decreased by 88% to $30,000 due to less debt outstanding in the 2022 period.

The net loss for the third fiscal quarter of fiscal 2023 was $1.1 million, or ($0.16) per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $7.0 million, or $(1.18) per diluted share, in the third quarter of fiscal 2022, including the pre-tax charge of $5.2 million for the impairment of goodwill and intangible assets. Weighted average basic and diluted shares outstanding were 6,879,554 and 5,903,360 for the third quarter of fiscal year 2023 and 2022, respectively.

On a non-GAAP basis, excluding share-based compensation expense, costs associated with impairment of intangibles and amortization of intangibles, acquisition related costs, the extinguishment of debt, and foreign exchange changes, the net loss for the third quarter of fiscal 2023 was $1.0 million, or $(0.15) per diluted share, compared with a net loss of $1.6 million, or $(0.26) per diluted share, in the corresponding period for fiscal 2022.

Nine Months FY 2023 Financial Results

Total revenues for the nine months ended December 31, 2022 increased by 20%, to $1.3 million, as compared to revenues of $1.1 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2021. The increase was primarily due to the shipment of ten units in the current period compared to eight units in the comparable period of 2021. Gross Profit decreased by 10% to $0.7 million compared to $0.8 million in the prior year, and gross margin was 56% compared with 76%. The gross margin was impacted by a less favorable sales mix and the startup and one-time costs from the acquisition of the Company’s first neuro recovery clinic. Total operating expenses increased by 2% to $4.3 million compared to $4.2 million in the comparable period, after excluding $5.2 million for the impairment of goodwill and intangible assets recorded in fiscal year 2022.

The net loss for the nine months ended December 31, 2022 was $3.6 million, or $(0.52) per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $8.7 million, or $(1.50) per diluted share, in the corresponding period for fiscal 2022, including the pre-tax charge of $5.2 million for the impairment of goodwill and intangible assets. On a non-GAAP basis, excluding share-based compensation expense, costs associated with impairment of intangibles and amortization of intangibles, acquisition related costs, the extinguishment of debt, and foreign exchange changes, the net loss for the nine months ended December 31, 2022 was $3.4 million, or ($0.49) per diluted share, compared with a net loss of $3.6 million, or ($0.61) per diluted share, in the corresponding period for fiscal 2022.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

To supplement our consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, BIONIK uses non-GAAP loss from operations, non-GAAP net loss and non-GAAP diluted net loss per share. The presentation of this financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measures included in this press release exclude costs associated with the amortization of intangible assets acquired, share-based compensation expense, acquisition costs, extinguishment of existing debt, as well as unrealized foreign exchange gains or losses for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2022, and 2021. This exclusion may be different from, and therefore not comparable to, similar measures used by other companies.

BIONIK’s management believes that the non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance by excluding amortization, impairment and foreign exchange costs that may not be indicative of our core business operating results. BIONIK believes that both management and investors benefit from referring to the non-GAAP financial measures in assessing BIONIK’s performance and when planning, forecasting and analyzing future periods. BIONIK also believes that the non-GAAP measures are useful to investors in allowing for greater transparency with respect to supplemental information used by management in our financial and operational decision making. The non-GAAP Financial measures also facilitate management’s internal comparisons to BIONIK’s historical performance and our competitors’ operating results.
