Management Comments:

“Although global sales in our Advanced Energy segment showed improvement over the third quarter, our fourth quarter revenue results reflect continued business disruption related to the Medical Device Safety Communication,” said Charlie Goodwin, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Specifically, while global Advanced Energy sales increased more than 40% on a sequential basis, the pace of recovery in global generator sales was slower than what our guidance had assumed. With that said, Apyx continues to lead the way in ensuring the safe and effective use of our technology. Our team continued to make progress in educating existing and potential customers about the strong safety and efficacy profile of our products, including raising awareness of the additional 510(k) clearances that we secured in 2022. Importantly, we also continued to engage with the Food & Drug Administration (“FDA”) on our proposed regulatory submission for a new clinical indication demonstrating the safety of our Renuvion® technology when used after liposuction. We received the FDA’s formal feedback on the related pre-submission request in December and expect to submit a request for 510(k) clearance by the end of January. We continue to believe the receipt of 510(k) clearance for this new clinical indication would directly address the remaining limitations of the Medical Device Safety Communication.”

Mr. Goodwin continued: “In 2023, we expect to deliver growth in global sales of our Advanced Energy products of more than 35% year-over-year, fueled by strong execution on our commercial and regulatory objectives and improving generator demand trends as we move through fiscal 2023. We remain focused on maximizing our resources through prudent expense management and have recently implemented activities to eliminate certain operating expenses to improve cash flow, while preserving our capabilities as an organization. We also continue to actively evaluate all potential options to enhance our liquidity and financial condition.”
