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.”

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%.
