Revenue Increased 12% Year-Over-Year

Record Non-Prostate Brachytherapy Revenue Increased 28% Year-Over-Year

RICHLAND, Wash., May 10, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Isoray, Inc. (NYSE:ISR), a medical technology company and innovator in seed brachytherapy, today announced its financial results for the third quarter of fiscal 2022 ended March 31, 2022.

Revenue for the third quarter of fiscal 2022 grew 12% to $2.91 million versus $2.60 million in the prior year comparable period. The Company's core prostate brachytherapy revenue increased 8% versus the third quarter of fiscal 2021. Prostate brachytherapy represented 75% of total revenue for the third quarter of fiscal 2022 compared to 78% in the prior year comparable period. Non-prostate brachytherapy revenue increased 28% versus the prior year comparable period. The majority of non-prostate brachytherapy revenue in the quarter was comprised of sales to treat brain cancer, including sales of GammaTile^® Therapy.

Gross profit as a percentage of revenues was 49.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2022 versus 52.4% in the prior year comparable period. The decline in gross margin was the result of increased total cost of product sales due primarily to increased isotope costs due to ordering additional supply and payroll and benefits due to an increase in headcount. Third quarter gross profit increased 5.8% to $1.44 million versus $1.36 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2021.

Isoray CEO Lori Woods said, "We are very pleased by the record sales we achieved this quarter which reflects the continued rebound in our core prostate market as well as unprecedented revenue in our brachytherapy treatments for other cancers. We look forward to capitalizing on this growth to advance our market goals as the impact from the effects of the pandemic continue to diminish."

Total operating expenses increased 32% in the third quarter to $2.82 million from $2.13 million in the prior year period. Total research and development expenses increased 52% versus the prior year comparable period. The increase in research and development expenses was primarily the result of increased payroll and benefits expense due to greater headcount versus the prior year comparable period and an increase in consulting expenses relating to market research.

Sales and marketing expenses increased 18% versus the prior year comparable period. The increase in sales and marketing expenses was driven primarily by increases in travel and tradeshow costs and increased payroll and benefits expense due to merit increases, new hires, and increased incentive compensation, versus the prior year comparable period. General and administrative expenses increased 34% versus the prior year comparable period. The increases in general and administrative expenses were primarily the result of increased payroll and benefits expense due to annual merit increases and greater headcount, employment hiring expenses, IT consulting expenses, D&O insurance premiums, public company expenses, audit and legal expenses, severance, and travel expenses versus the prior year comparable period.

The net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was $1.35 million or ($0.01) per basic and diluted share versus a net loss of $0.75 million or ($0.01) 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 142.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 versus 122.6 million in the comparable prior year period.

For the first nine months of fiscal 2022 ended March 31, 2022, revenue increased 13% to $8.29 million versus $7.34 million in the prior year comparable period. Prostate brachytherapy represented 76% of total revenue for the first nine months of fiscal 2022 compared to 79% for the first nine months of fiscal 2021. Total operating expenses for the first nine months of fiscal 2022 increased 46% to $8.98 million, versus $6.13 million in the prior year comparable period. The net loss for the first nine months of fiscal 2022 was $5.19 million, or ($0.04) per basic and diluted share, compared to a net loss of $2.33 million, or ($0.03) per basic and diluted share, in the prior year comparable period. Basic and diluted per share results are based on weighted average shares outstanding of approximately 142.0 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2022, versus 91.3 million in the comparable prior year period.

Cash, cash equivalents, and certificates of deposit at the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2022 totaled $58.9 million and the company had no long-term debt. Stockholders' equity at the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2022 totaled $63.2 million.
