Total revenue of $53.1 million in 4Q21, an increase of 53% year over year

Fiscal year 2022 revenue outlook of $234 million, an increase of 30% year over year

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 and fiscal year ended December 31, 2021.

“We are proud of our fourth quarter and fiscal year 2021 results considering the disruption Covid-19 has had on elective procedures in the U.S. and around the world,” said Raymond W. Cohen, chief executive officer of Axonics. “In 2021, in addition to strong commercial execution, Axonics made important progress on several strategic initiatives, including the successful acquisition and launch of Bulkamid® in the U.S., growth of our commercial field team, expansion of our in-house manufacturing capabilities, and the FDA submission of our recharge-free SNM system.”

Cohen continued, “We expect to begin shipping our long-lived, recharge-free SNM system in early second quarter following FDA approval. We believe this new device will set a new standard for what is possible in the SNM category. We are also in the final stages of launching a national television direct-to-consumer advertising campaign to broaden awareness for Axonics therapies that treat all forms of incontinence. We remain confident that our commitment to innovation, quality and providing physicians and patients strong support will continue to drive market expansion and advance Axonics on its path to market leadership.”
