Axonics Reports First Quarter 2023 Financial Results

Generated quarterly revenue of $70.7 million, an increase of 46% year over year

Fiscal year 2023 revenue guidance increased to $348 million

Axonics, Inc. (Nasdaq: AXNX), a global medical technology company that is developing and commercializing novel products for the treatment of bladder and bowel dysfunction, today reported financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2023.

“Our commercial team continues to execute at a high level, generating revenue growth of 46% year over year in the first quarter,” said Raymond W. Cohen, chief executive officer. “Our sacral neuromodulation growth was driven by higher utilization and share gains while Bulkamid® continues to benefit from physicians enthusiastically adopting our durable hydrogel to treat their stress urinary incontinence patients. Based on the strong results generated in the first quarter, we are raising our fiscal year 2023 revenue guidance to $348 million, representing 27% growth year over year.”

Cohen continued, “We continue to focus on bringing new innovations to the incontinence market, with the goal of increasing the penetration of advanced therapies for this vastly undertreated patient population. In the first quarter, we received FDA approval and commercially launched the Axonics R20, our fourth-generation rechargeable SNM system that requires recharging just once every six to ten months for one hour. In addition, last week we announced the acquisition of a technology to facilitate easier and faster lead placement during the SNM external trial. We are confident that this commitment to innovation, increasing public awareness, and providing physicians and patients strong clinical support will continue to drive market expansion and advance Axonics on its path to incontinence market leadership.”

Forward-Looking Statements

Statements made in this press release that relate to future plans, events, prospects or performance are forward-looking statements as defined under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Words such as “plans,” “expects,” “believes,” “anticipates,” “designs,” and similar words are intended to identify forward-looking statements. While these forward-looking statements are based on the current expectations and beliefs of management, such forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the expectations expressed in this press release, including the risks and uncertainties disclosed in Axonics filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, all of which are available online at www.sec.gov. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. Except as required by law, Axonics undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements to reflect new information, changed circumstances or unanticipated events.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement Axonics’ consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), Axonics provides certain non-GAAP financial measures in this release as supplemental financial metrics.

Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as net income (loss) before other income/expense (including interest), income tax expense (benefit), depreciation and amortization expense, stock-based compensation expense, acquisition-related costs, loss on disposal of property and equipment, and expense related to impairment of intangible assets. Management believes that in order to properly understand short-term and long-term financial trends, investors may want to consider the impact of these excluded items in addition to GAAP measures. The excluded items vary in frequency and/or impact on our results of operations and management believes that the excluded items are typically not reflective of our ongoing core business operations and financial condition. Further, management uses adjusted EBITDA for both strategic and annual operating planning. A reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA reported in this release to the most comparable GAAP measure for the respective periods appears in the table captioned “Reconciliation of GAAP Net Income (Loss) to Adjusted EBITDA” later in this release.

The non-GAAP financial measures used by Axonics may not be the same or calculated in the same manner as those used and calculated by other companies. Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for Axonics’ financial results prepared and reported in accordance with GAAP. We urge investors to review the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures included in this press release, and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business.
