Management Discussion
"In the face of a difficult year for many industries, including the fertility business, I am extremely proud of the accomplishments of the entire INVO Bioscience team," commented Steve Shum, Chief Executive Officer of INVO Bioscience. "During the year, we put in place a number of building blocks for the future, which are already beginning to pay dividends. Recently we announced our plan to open our first U.S.-based INVOcell clinic in partnership with some of the most highly accomplished INVOcell practitioners in the world. Our partners are not only extremely well-versed in the INVOcell technology, but also have a proven track record of successful implementation of the platform within an established clinical setting. A few months prior, we announced that we plan to open dedicated INVOcell clinics in Mexico with Dr. Francisco Arredondo and Dr. Ramiro Ramirez, who were also early adopters of the INVOcell solution and have established a successful track record of successful implementation of INVOcell in a clinical setting. We believe the combination of strong distribution partners such as Ferring in the U.S. and other locations around the world, coupled with dedicated INVOcell clinics partnerships which INVO Bioscience has an equity interest in, position the Company well for the future."
"Another key development during the year was the availability of additional positive real-world usage data highlighting the success of INVOcell, including a published peer-reviewed manuscript (report). We expect to see further data from this year's SART information in the near future. In our opinion, this expanded retrospective, real world validated data is extremely valuable to our commercial efforts and builds confidence with practitioners. We believe that this expanding portfolio of usage data will play an important role in expanding and accelerating market adoption."
"In addition to expanded commercialization agreements and positive real-world usage data, we accelerated a number of other activities necessary to drive long-term adoption of INVOcell. In particular, we strengthened the Company with leaders on our board of directors and industry experts on the medical advisory board. With a strong team in place, and a balance sheet strengthened by our public offering and uplisting to Nasdaq, we remain optimistic about the near and long-term future," Mr. Shum concluded.
Clinical/Regulatory Update
The Company continues to advance its 5-day label expansion efforts and filed a 510K utilizing the expanded retrospective (real market usage) data. The Company is working to collect additional real-world information to support the submission and we plan to continue to provide updates as they become available.
Financial Results
Revenue for 2020 was $1,037,286, compared to $1,480,213 in 2019. The decrease was the result of a decline in product sales to Ferring. However, pursuant to an amendment we entered into subsequent to the year end, Ferring placed a $501,000 purchase order in March 2021, which the Company agreed would satisfy Ferring's minimum purchase requirements for 2020. Although the purchase order relates to the 2020 requirements, the company will record the revenue in the first quarter of 2021.
Gross margins were 91% in 2020, compared to 91% in 2019.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for 2020 were $6,065,066, compared to $3,128,635 in 2019. The increase was primarily the result of an increase in personnel, stock-based compensation, marketing and other corporate expenses. Approximately $1,756,991 of this increase over 2019 was related to non-cash equity-based compensation.
The Company began to fund additional research and development ("R&D") efforts in 2020 as part of its 5-day label expansion efforts, and also submitted additional trademark and patent filings. Excluding the investment in inventory in anticipation of clinical trials and patents, R&D expenses were $398,426 for 2020. During 2019 we did not fund any R&D.
Interest expense and financing fees were $2,836,504 for 2020, compared to $387,646 in 2019. The increase was primarily due to an increase in non-cash amortization of discount, debt issuance costs and interest on the 2020 Convertible Notes and was primarily a non-cash related expense.
Net loss in 2020 was $8,347,316 compared to $2,167,544 in 2019. The increase in net loss was due to increased operating expenses, interest expense and non-cash expenses. Approximately $2,626,168 of this increase was related to non-cash debt amortization expense along with $1,756,991 of non-cash equity compensation.
Adjusted EBITDA (see Adjusted EBITDA Table) for 2020 was $(3.74) million, compared to adjusted EBITDA of $(1.54) million in 2019.
As of December 31, 2020, the Company had $10,097,760 in cash compared to $1,238,585 on December 31, 2019.
Use of Non-GAAP Measure
Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure. However, this measure is not intended to be a substitute for those financial measures reported in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA has been included because management believes that, when considered together with the GAAP figures, it provides meaningful information related to our operating performance and liquidity and can enhance an overall understanding of financial results and trends. Adjusted EBITDA may be calculated by us differently than other companies that disclose measures with the same or similar term. See our attached financials for a reconciliation of this non-GAAP measure to the nearest GAAP measure.
