The Company posted quarterly product net revenue of $1.61 million and service net revenue of $40 thousand, or total net revenue of $1.65 million for a quarterly net loss of $140 thousand, or $(0.01) per diluted share. These results compare to product net revenue of $1.70 million and service net revenue of $458 thousand, or total net revenue of $2.15 million for a quarterly net income of $265 thousand, or $0.02 per diluted share, in the year-ago quarter. Gross margin on product net revenue was 52% in the fiscal 2024 first quarter and 49% in the fiscal 2023 first quarter. Gross margin increased in the current year's first quarter compared to last year's first quarter due principally to higher operating efficiencies and increased selling prices.

"The fiscal 2024 first quarter presented significant challenges for Encision and for the medical device market in general," said Gregory Trudel, President and CEO of Encision Inc. "The demand for surgical procedures was diminished during the pandemic period and its rebound has been a slow process. The market has seen a number of positive indicators for an increase in demand and Encision continues to drive toward them. The service revenue that we were able to drive in the previous year was very helpful and we are working to recreate that revenue stream with new partners and opportunities to collaborate on our foundational technologies."

Encision Inc. designs and markets a portfolio of high-performance surgical instrumentation that delivers advances in patient safety with AEM technology, surgical performance, and value to hospitals across a broad range of minimally invasive surgical procedures. Based in Boulder, Colorado, the company pioneered the development and deployment of Active Electrode Monitoring, AEM technology, to eliminate dangerous stray energy burns during minimally invasive procedures.
