– Offers users monopolar, bipolar and plasma, including J-Plasma®, features in a single generator

CLEARWATER, FL – December 16, 2014 – Bovie Medical Corporation (NYSE:BVX), a maker of medical devices and supplies, and the developer of J-Plasma®, a patented new surgical product, today announced that it has received FDA 510(k) approval for the Bovie® Ultimate™ generator.

The Bovie® Ultimate™ is a high frequency electrosurgical generator that can be used for delivery of RF energy and/or helium gas plasma to cut, coagulate and ablate soft tissue during open and laparoscopic surgical procedures. The generator offers users monopolar, bipolar and plasma features, including one J-Plasma® helium gas outlet, in a single generator. Its pad-sensing system reduces the risk of patient burns, but this feature is not required when using helium gas mode for soft tissue coagulation. The Bovie® Ultimate™ will replace Bovie’s ICON™ GS plasma system.

“We are pleased to have received FDA approval for this leading edge product, which combines J-Plasma® technology with the highest wattage operating room electrosurgical generator,” said Robert L. Gershon, Chief Executive Officer. We designed the Bovie® Ultimate™ to provide medical practitioners with greater flexibility, including the ability to easily incorporate our J-Plasma® product. This is an excellent illustration of our strategy to leverage synergies between our core product and J-Plasma® businesses to drive future revenue growth.”

The Company expects commercial launch of the new product in February, 2015.

CLEARWATER, FL – November 6, 2014 – Bovie Medical Corporation (NYSE:BVX), a maker of medical devices and supplies, and the developer of J-Plasma®, a patented new surgical product, today announced results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2014.

Management Comments

“This was another quarter of solid financial and operating achievements for Bovie Medical.  Our double-digit revenue increase drove a 250 basis point improvement in adjusted gross margin and reflected growth in each of our businesses,” said Robert L. Gershon, Chief Executive Officer.  “Sales of core products continued to show strong year-over-year growth, and our OEM business benefitted from existing relationships while adding new contracts to our portfolio of business.

“J-Plasma® sales increased substantially on both a year-over-year and sequential basis as we continue to build a platform to accelerate and support future growth.  At the end of the third quarter, we had 14 ordering  accounts, and our systems are currently being evaluated by over 20 Hospital Value Analysis Committees (VACs), confirming a high level of interest.  We completed several major surgeon training programs to date, and physician interest remains high, and  feedback has been very positive.

“We accelerated the J-Plasma® commercialization process by expanding our direct sales force to 13 experienced individuals, who are working together with a dedicated group of 21 manufacturers’ representatives to extend J-Plasma®’s usage in our targeted markets of gynecology, dermatology and plastic surgery.  Investments in these professionals will enable us to build recognition and adoption of J-Plasma® on a national level.

“Last week, Shawn Roman joined the Company as Director of Research and Development.  This appointment is aligned with our strategy to leverage Bovie’s existing R&D pipeline, as well as our in-house design capabilities and manufacturing facility, to drive future growth,” Mr. Gershon added.

Third Quarter 2014 Results
Third quarter sales were $6.8 million, a 17% increase, compared to $5.8 million for the same quarter of 2013. Sales of distributed and branded products were $6.1 million, an increase of 11%, compared to $5.5 million a year ago.  Sales of OEM products were $0.6 million, an increase of 110%, compared to $0.3 million for the same quarter of 2013.  J-Plasma® sales totaled $90,514, ahead of the $45,000 reported for the first half of this year and the $14,450 reported for the same quarter a year ago.

Third quarter gross profit was $1.9 million, compared to $2.2 million a year ago.  Gross margin was 28.3%, compared to 38.8% a year ago.  Adjusted gross margin, which excludes costs related to excess and obsolete  inventories identified during the quarter, and other adjustments, was 41.3%, compared to 38.8% a year ago.

Operating expenses increased 57% to $4.3 million in this year’s third quarter, primarily related to higher costs associated with building the infrastructure necessary for the acceleration of the commercialization of J-Plasma® and the future growth of Bovie’s core/OEM businesses.  This includes over $650,000 of incremental costs directly attributable to direct sales and other customer-facing activities not present in last year’s third quarter.  Total spending for J-Plasma® was approximately $1.8 million year-to-date, up from approximately $609,000 in the comparable period last year. R&D spending increased 27% in the third quarter, in line with the Company’s strategy of bringing further innovation to market.

The Company incurred an operating loss in the third quarter of $2.4 million, compared to an operating loss of $475,000 in the third quarter of 2013.  Adjusted operating loss, which excludes the previously mentioned costs related to excess and obsolete inventories and other adjustments, was $1.4 million, compared to an operating loss of $475,000 in the prior year period.

The Company reported a net loss of $3.0 million, or $0.17 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $341,000, or $0.02 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2013.  Included in the third quarter results for 2014 was an expense of $1.7 million related to the derivative revaluation of Bovie’s warrants. Excluding the derivative revaluation expense and other non-GAAP charges, the Company would have reported a net loss per diluted share of $0.04 for the third quarter of 2014.

Summary and Outlook

• During the third quarter, Bovie announced the publication of two independent white papers on J-Plasma®.  The first examined the pre- and post-procedural results on facial wrinkles.  The second explained the benefits of treating endometriosis and chronic pelvic pain with J-Plasma®.  With these two white papers, Bovie has published four of the five planned white papers to be published on J-Plasma® in 2014.  The white papers can be accessed on Bovie’s website at www.boviemed.com. One additional white paper is expected to be published by the end of the fourth quarter.  This initiative is expected to greatly assist in the sell-in efforts with Value Analysis Committees at hospital customers.
• Over the last four months, the Company completed surgeon training in Tampa, St. Louis, Orlando and Portland, Oregon. Additional training programs are scheduled to be completed by the end of 2014, and, as more surgeons express interest in J-Plasma®, the Company is prepared to expand its training program schedule to facilitate adoption of the technology.
• In August, the Company appointed Todd Hornsby as Vice President of Sales and Craig Roberson as Eastern Regional Sales Manager. They bring a combined 35 years of medical device sales experience to Bovie and will play important roles in accelerating and managing the commercialization of J-Plasma®.
• In October, the Company added five experienced direct sales people who will be responsible for J-Plasma®’s rollout in their assigned territories. Bovie’s current J-Plasma® sales force is comprised of 13 direct sales people and 21 independent manufacturers’ representatives, who are focused on driving adoption of the J-Plasma® device.
• J-Plasma® was recognized as an Innovation of the Year by The Society of Laparoendoscopic Surgeons (SLS), an educational, non-profit organization established to ensure the highest standards for the practice of laparoscopic, endoscopic, and minimally invasive surgery.
• The Derm 101 and 102 products began shipping in August. These efficient and economical high-frequency desiccators will allow medical practitioners including family physicians, pediatricians, general dermatologists, and nurse practitioners to perform minor skin procedures.

“We expect to report continued progress in this year’s fourth quarter across the organization. Our total revenue increased a robust 15% in the first nine months of this year, and we anticipate another period of year-over-year growth as we invest in initiatives that leverage the benefits of Bovie’s brand and its reputation for high quality products.   J-Plasma®’s recognition and adoption continue to increase, and we look forward to accelerating J-Plasma®’s rollout in the fourth quarter,” concluded Mr. Gershon.

In this press announcement, management has disclosed financial measurements that present financial information not in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP).  These measurements are not a substitute for GAAP measurements, although company management uses these measurements as aids in monitoring the company’s ongoing financial performance from quarter to quarter and year to year on a regular basis and for benchmarking against other medical technology companies. Adjusted non-GAAP gross margin, adjusted non-GAAP income from operations, adjusted non-GAAP net income and adjusted non-GAAP income per diluted share measure the gross margin, income from operations, net income and income per diluted share of the company excluding unusual items.  Management uses and presents these measures because management believes that such adjustments facilitate an understanding of the financial impact of unusual items on the company’s short- and long-term financial trends.  Management also uses adjusted non-GAAP items to forecast and to evaluate the operational performance of the company, as well as to compare results of current periods to prior periods on a consistent basis.
Non-GAAP financial measures used by the company may be calculated differently from, and therefore may not be comparable to, similarly-titled measures used by other companies. Investors should consider non-GAAP measures in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial performance measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.

CLEARWATER, Fl. – August 5, 2014- Bovie Medical (NYSE:BVX), a maker of medical devices and supplies and the developer of J-Plasma®, a patented new surgical product, announced results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2014.

Management Comment

“We continued to make significant progress in all aspects of the business during the second quarter,” said Robert L. Gershon, Chief Executive Officer. “We achieved double-digit revenue growth, which drove a 230 basis point increase in adjusted gross margin, demonstrating the potential of our core business and providing important support for the commercialization of our J-Plasma ® product.

“Our core business grew 2.8% year-on-year, and we executed on our strategy of adding new products to our portfolio with the announced launch of Derm 101 and 102, for office-based practitioners.  These Bovie branded products represent the first new core product launches in several years, and we see multiple opportunities to leverage our significant brand equity to drive further revenue growth.

“The OEM business showed positive comparisons, increasing by a factor of four over last year’s second quarter, which was impacted by contract expirations.  This is a scalable business with additional profit potential, and we plan to grow it judiciously so as to optimize our resources to meet projected demand for both our core business products and J-Plasma®.

“We continued to make progress on the commercialization of J-Plasma® . At the end of the second quarter, J-Plasma® was in use at over 40 sites, up from 25 sites at the end of the first quarter, and the number of surgeons using the product increased to more than 60 from 40. Sales in the second quarter reflected timing issues associated with sales cycles for hospital based products as well as the continued build-up and training of our sales team. We succeeded in capturing orders of over $50,000 in July, and importantly, our surgeon pipeline continues to expand, increasing to 98 from approximately 50 at the end of the first quarter, and 12 at the end of 2013.

“In July, we were awarded an important contract with a mid-western Integrated Delivery Network (IDN) that is consistently rated among the top 10 systems by U.S. News & World Report.  This is a complex contract that will take some time to fully implement, but it gives us the opportunity to sell J-Plasma ® into each of the 13 hospitals that comprise the system,” noted Mr. Gershon.

1Excluding impact of $843,000 inventory adjustment charge in 2Q14; see page 4 for additional disclosure

2Excluding $843,000 inventory adjustment charge and $383,000 of expenses related to CFO transition and other charges in 2Q14 and $1.0 million legal award in 2Q13; see page 4 for additional disclosure

Second Quarter 2014 Results

Second quarter sales were $6.9 million, a 14.9% increase over the $6.0 million reported in last year’s second quarter. Sales of distributed and branded products were $6.0 million, up 2.8% from the $5.8 million reported for the second quarter of 2013. Sales of OEM products were $961,000, significantly higher than the $223,000 of last year’s second quarter, reflecting higher demand from existing customers. Sales of J-Plasma ® were $15,000 for the period.

The Company incurred an inventory write-down of $843,000 in the second quarter primarily related to the commercialization of J-Plasma® and other legacy items in our Core business. As a result, gross profit was $1.9 million compared to $2.2 million in the second quarter of 2013. Adjusted gross margin, which excludes the impact of the write-down, was 39.2%; including the impact, gross margin was 27.0% compared to 36.9% in the prior year. The operating loss in the second quarter was $1.7 million, essentially flat with the second quarter of 2013. The adjusted operating loss, which excludes the previously-mentioned inventory write-down and $383,000 related to CFO transition and other charges, was $520,000 compared to an adjusted operating loss of $609,000 in the prior year which excludes the $1.0 million impact of a legal award.

The Company recorded a non-cash gain of $1.5 million related to the mark-to-market accounting for the fair value of issued common stock purchase warrants.  As a result, the Company reported net income for the period of $251,000 with $29,000 attributable to common shareholders. This translated into $0.00 per basic share and a loss of $0.07 per diluted share of common stock compared to a net loss of $1.1 million, or $0.06 per basic and diluted share of common stock in last year’s second quarter. Exclusive of this non-cash gain and other non-GAAP operating charges in 2Q14 and the $1.0 million legal award in 2Q13, the Company would have reported a net loss of $0.03 per basic and diluted share of common stock in line with the loss of $0.03 per basic and diluted share of common stock from a year earlier.

Andres, JD, was elected to the Bovie Board of Directors at the Annual Meeting held on July 17, 2014.  Mr. Andres has over 30 years of experience in the medical device industry, specializing in patent/business strategy development and execution.  Most recently, he was a partner of Hawk Healthcare, LLC and previously helped found K2M, Inc.

Summary and Outlook

“This was another quarter of solid achievement for Bovie Medical. The commercialization of J-Plasma® is proceeding on schedule, and we continue to take advantage of growth opportunities within our core business. Below is an update on some of our key objectives for 2014:

• In line with the Company’s objective to generate strong clinical data and publications, Bovie announced the publication of the first two independent white papers on J-Plasma®, authored by surgeons at a women’s health center in Nevada.  The first paper tracks J-Plasma® effect on tissue compared to the effects of Argon, monopolar cautery, and CO2 laser, and the second analyzes the versatility of the J-Plasma® product’s power settings. A third white paper, which is scheduled for publication in the third quarter, will examine the pre and post-procedural results on facial wrinkles, and at least two more white papers are scheduled to be published by the end of 2014.  This initiative is expected to greatly assist in the sell-in efforts with Value Analysis Committees at hospital customers.
• The Company has scheduled surgeon trainings in Portland, St. Louis, Las Vegas and New York during the third quarter. As more surgeons express interest in J-Plasma®, we will increase our training program schedule to facilitate adoption of the technology.
• Bovie’s current sales force is comprised of five direct salespeople, 28 independent manufacturers’ representatives and one clinical specialist to drive adoption of the J-Plasma® device. In August, the Company will conduct a 3-day intensive clinical and product training seminar in Tampa that will include certification and will provide the collateral materials needed to move forward with an efficient and focused sales campaign.
• The Derm 101 and 102 products began shipping at the end of July.  These efficient and economical high frequency desiccators will allow medical practitioners including family physicians, pediatricians, general dermatologists and nurse practitioners to perform minor skin procedures.
• To increase awareness of Bovie Medical and J-Plasma®, the Company has launched a new branding and marketing campaign, which includes new print advertisements and sales materials as well as videos on the Company’s website of actual procedures using J-Plasma®. In addition, Bovie will be redesigning its website.

“We are entering the second half of 2014 with positive momentum. J-Plasma® is gaining recognition by an increasing number of surgeons in our initial targeted markets of gynecology, dermatology and plastic surgery, and we have been able to attract top-notch sales talent to execute its broader roll-out. Thus, we expect to see progressive improvement in the second half of 2014 across the key metrics that relate to the J-Plasma® ramp, with the major positive financial impact to begin in 2015. At the same time, we are developing strategies to leverage our market leadership in electrosurgical products to capture additional profitable revenue growth,” concluded Mr. Gershon.

Use of non-GAAP financial measures
In this press announcement, management has disclosed financial measurements that present financial information not in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP).  These measurements are not a substitute for GAAP measurements, although company management uses these measurements as aids in monitoring the company’s ongoing financial performance from quarter to quarter and year to year on a regular basis and for benchmarking against other medical technology companies. Adjusted non-GAAP income from operations, adjusted non-GAAP net income and adjusted non-GAAP income per diluted share measure the income from operations, net income and income per diluted share of the company excluding unusual items.  Management uses and presents these measures because management believes that such adjustments facilitate an understanding of the financial impact of unusual items on the company’s short- and long-term financial trends.  Management also uses adjusted non-GAAP items to forecast and to evaluate the operational performance of the company, as well as to compare results of current periods to prior periods on a consistent basis.

Non-GAAP financial measures used by the company may be calculated differently from, and therefore may not be comparable to, similarly-titled measures used by other companies. Investors should consider non-GAAP measures in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial performance measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Please refer to the attached reconciliation between GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures.

CLEARWATER, Fl. – May 15, 2014- Bovie Medical (NYSE:BVX), a maker of medical devices and supplies and the developer of J-Plasma®, a patented new surgical product, announced results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2014.

Management Comment

“First quarter results demonstrated the revenue growth opportunities that we see in our core business, the benefits of recent OEM contract wins, and the progress we are making in the commercialization of our J-Plasma® product,” said Robert L. Gershon, Chief Executive Officer. “We achieved a double-digit sales increase on a year-over-year basis; sales growth drove significant gross margin expansion; and J-Plasma® sales in the first quarter, despite the early phase of the launch, represented 70% of full year 2013 sales.

“Our core business continues to benefit from Bovie’s strong market position and brand recognition, and we expect to further leverage those strengths through new products which will be brought to market through our existing distribution network.  New OEM contracts that were signed in last year’s fourth quarter are benefitting 2014 comparisons, and we expect to launch new products late in this year’s second quarter or early in the third quarter, including the DERM 101 and DERM 102 high frequency desiccators for simple dermatological procedures, as well as new electrosurgical generators.

“Commercialization of our J-Plasma® product is advancing on schedule. At the end of the first quarter, the product was in use at over 25 sites, up from 12 sites at the end of 2013, and the number of surgeons using the product increased to more than 40 from 18. Importantly, our surgeon pipeline continues to grow substantially increasing to more than 50 from 24 at the end of 2013.  The majority of the pipeline consists of thought leaders in the gynecology, dermatology and plastic surgery specialties, which are our priority markets,” Mr. Gershon noted.

First Quarter 2014 Results

First quarter sales were $6.5 million, a 13.8% increase over the $5.7 million reported in last year’s first quarter. Sales of distributed and branded products were $5.4 million, up 6.5% from the $5.0 million reported for the first quarter of 2013. Sales of OEM products were $1.1 million, 66.9% higher than the $650,000 of last year’s first quarter, reflecting the new contracts signed at the end of 2013. Sales of J-Plasma were $31,000, a six-fold increase over the $5,100 of the 2013 first quarter.

Gross profit was $2.8 million compared to $2.2 million, and gross margin expanded by 470 basis points to 42.5% from 37.8%, due primarily to higher sales and product mix. Operating income was $58,000, compared to an operating loss of $665,000 in the first quarter of 2013.

The Company incurred a non-cash loss of $9.6 million related to the mark-to-market fair value of issued common stock purchase warrants, compared to a non-cash loss of $34,000 in last year’s first quarter. Consequently, the Company reported a net loss for the period of $9.6 million, or $0.55 per share. Exclusive of this non-cash loss, the Company would have reported a net loss per diluted share of $0.01 compared to a net loss of $0.02 per share last year. 

Recent Developments

Executive Management Appointments

• On May 6, 2014, the Company announced that its Board of Directors had appointed Peter Donato Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. Mr. Donato brings more than 22 years of financial management and accounting experience, including 10 years as an executive in the healthcare industry. His most recent positions were as Corporate Controller for Cyberonics, Inc, Chief Financial Officer for Catasys Inc. and Iris International Inc.   

Mr. Gershon stated, “Peter Donato brings a wealth of experience to Bovie Medical, including his prior positions at publicly-traded medical device companies. His deep financial background, coupled with his strategic insight, makes him an excellent addition to Bovie’s management team and Peter will play an important role in helping us achieve our corporate and financial objectives.”

Additional Developments

• The Company leased 3,650 square feet of office space in Purchase, New York for its new executive offices, and closed its location in Melville, New York. The new office will be open by July of this year.

Summary and Outlook

“First quarter operating results position Bovie for a year of strong commercial progress in 2014. We are either on or ahead of schedule with respect to the key elements of a comprehensive go-to-market strategy for J-Plasma®. Below is an update on some of our key objectives for 2014:

• Generating strong clinical data and publications: Our stated objective is to publish a minimum of five white papers in 2014 written by surgeons who have experienced the clinical benefits of the J-Plasma® product. By the end of the 2014 first quarter, all five were underway. Once available, we believe that the white papers will greatly aid our sell-in efforts with Value Analysis Committees at our hospital customers.
• Building a world-class direct sales team: Our strategy is to create a hybrid sales force comprised of direct salespeople and independent manufacturers’ representatives to drive adoption of the J-Plasma® device. To date, we have recruited four highly-experienced salespeople to serve as the core of our direct salesforce and have enlisted a world-class firm to roll-out their training program over the next three months.
• Investing in surgeon training and procedure development: Surgeon training is another key element of a focused marketing campaign. To date we have conducted one dedicated surgeon training course and have three scheduled to take place in the second quarter. We expect this number to increase throughout the year, commensurate with the growth in product interest and adoption.
• Driving awareness of J-Plasma: There is still much work to be done in order to drive awareness of the key attributes of J-Plasma®. As part of the commercialization process, we will be executing focused marketing and branding campaigns to increase product knowledge across our target markets.

“Our main goal for 2014 is to create the foundation for substantial and sustainable long-term growth. In the first quarter, we succeeded in achieving important milestones in the commercialization of J-Plasma®, and we expect that momentum to continue and even accelerate as the year evolves. We are particularly encouraged by our ability to attract experienced, highly sought-after talent, with key new employees joining the Company based on the potential they see for J-Plasma®. The commercialization process, however, will take time and, while there will be some benefits in 2014, we believe the major positive financial impact will not begin until 2015. Our core business plays an important role in supporting the growth of J-Plasma, and we were very pleased by its operating performance in this year’s first quarter, in which it demonstrated solid sales growth and significant operating leverage. We remain confident in our ability to more fully leverage our existing product suite, and continue to successfully bid on OEM contracts,” Mr. Gershon concluded.

CLEARWATER, Fl. — March 31, 2014- Bovie Medical (NYSE:BVX), a maker of medical devices and supplies and the developer of J-Plasma®, a patented new surgical product, announced results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2013.

“2013 was a year of transition for Bovie.  We ended the year, however, with positive momentum in our core business, important early strides in the commercialization of J-Plasma® and a substantially stronger balance sheet, which have positioned us to achieve further progress in 2014,” said Robert L. Gershon, Chief Executive Officer.

Fourth Quarter 2013 Results

Fourth quarter sales were $6.1 million compared to $6.8 million in the 2012 fourth quarter. Sales of distributed branded and private label products were $5.9 million compared to $5.6 million in 2012. Gross profit was $2.6 million compared to $2.8 million and gross profit margin was 41.9% compared to 40.8%. Operating income, exclusive of legal settlement and award costs and related fees, was $32,000 compared to $127,000 in last year’s fourth quarter. The Company incurred a net loss for the period of $2.5 million, or $0.14 per diluted share, inclusive of warrant issuance costs relating to the December 2013 equity investment by Great Point Partners and debt refinancing charges, which together amounted to $1.2 million. In the 2012 fourth quarter, the Company reported net income of $285,000, or $0.02 per share.

“In the fourth quarter, we were awarded two new multi-year OEM contracts, which should enable us to at least replace about one-third of the sales lost in 2013 due to the expiration of two OEM contracts.  By the end of the fourth quarter, our J-Plasma® device was in use by 18 surgeons at 12 sites domestically, and today we are in over two dozen sites and have a strong pipeline of surgeon interest in the product,” Mr. Gershon noted.

Full Year 2013 Results

“For full year 2013, sales of distributed branded and private label products were $22.1 million compared to $21.8 million in 2012 and $20.4 million in 2011, which demonstrates the stability and visibility associated with this major part of our core business. From an operating standpoint, the highlight of 2013 was the successful production and testing of the Company’s J-Plasma® product,” Mr. Gershon said.

For full year 2013, total sales were $23.7 million compared to $27.7 million in 2012.  Sales increases in electrodes and medical lighting products and the stable performance of the Company’s cautery products were offset by the previously-noted expiration of two OEM contracts totaling $4.3 million.  Gross profit was $9.2 million, and gross margin was 38.9% compared to 2012’s gross profit of $11.3 million and gross margin of 40.9%.  The operating loss, exclusive of legal settlements/awards and related fees, was $740,000.  The Company’s full year 2013 operating costs included $1.2 million related to the production and pre-marketing of J-Plasma®, up from $0.8 million in 2012.  The Company reported a net loss of $4.3 million, or $0.25 per diluted share, inclusive of warrant issuance costs relating to the December 2013 equity investment by Great Point Partners and debt refinancing charges, which together amounted to $1.2 million. For 2012, the Company reported net income of $617,000, or $0.03 per diluted share.  Full year 2013 results included a tax benefit of $1.6 million.

Recent Developments

Executive Management Appointments

• On December 13, 2013, the Company’s Board of Directors appointed Robert L. Gershon as the Company’s new Chief Executive Officer and member of the Board.  Mr. Gershon has over 25 years of healthcare industry experience, most recently as a senior sales and marketing executive at Covidien (NYSE:COV) and Henry Schein (NASDAQ:HSIC).
• Effective March 31, 2014, the Company named Jack McCarthy to the new position of Chief Commercialization Officer, reporting to the CEO.  Mr. McCarthy’s most recent position was at Z-Medica as Vice President of Sales and Marketing for US Healthcare.  Prior to that, Mr. McCarthy spent 15 years with Covidien (NYSE:COV), primarily in sales, marketing and new business development.  His last position at Covidien was as Area Sales Vice President for the Endo Mechanical Intelligent Device franchise, where he managed a team of 50.

Mr. Gershon stated, “We are very pleased to have been able to attract Jack McCarthy, an executive with over 23 years of sales and marketing experience of which the last 16 years has been spent in the healthcare industry.  I have worked closely with Jack for nearly 10 years and his appointment as Chief Commercialization Officer is emblematic of our plans to assemble a group of executives with successful track records in launching innovative medical devices.  Together with our existing managers, we believe the team will be able to effectively leverage the Bovie brand to accelerate the growth of J-Plasma® and other innovative products in our pipeline.”  Mr. Gershon added, “We believe that J-Plasma® has the potential to be a transformational technology across a broad range of surgical specialties, enabling an improved intra-operative experience and thereby driving superior outcomes for surgeons and patients.”

Additional  Developments

• On December 13, 2013, the Company announced the completion of a $7.0 million funding by Great Point Partners, a leading health care investment firm with approximately $700 million of equity capital under management.  The funding is earmarked to accelerate the growth of J-Plasma®.
• On March 20, 2014 the Company refinanced its short term debt, extending its maturity and reducing interest expense.  The new mortgage loan agreement in the principal amount of $3.6 million with Bank of Tampa has an initial maturity of March 2017 with the option to extend the maturity to 2021.  The new interest rate is LIBOR plus 3.5%, which at current rates is equivalent to 3.7%. The bonds that the Company redeemed at loan closing carried an interest rate of 5.7%.
• In the 2013 fourth quarter, the Company entered into two multi-year OEM contracts valued at approximately $1.3 million to provide electrosurgical generators to two customers.  Shipments are scheduled to take place throughout 2014.

Summary and Outlook

“2014 promises to be a year of progress for Bovie Medical. Our main driver of long-term growth is J-Plasma®, and we are moving ahead with the key elements needed for a comprehensive go-to-market strategy for the product. This is a process that includes:

• Generating strong clinical data and publications:  J-Plasma has substantial clinical benefits and it is critical that we bring dimension to these benefits through clinical trials and publications.  To that end, we expect to publish a minimum of five white papers in 2014, which will greatly aid our sell-in efforts with Value Analysis Committees at our hospital customers.
• Building a world-class direct sales team:  While independent distributor representatives have allowed the Company to obtain rapid trial of the J-Plasma device, we believe that a dedicated, highly trained, direct sales organization will provide the necessary focus to drive sustained adoption of the J-Plasma device.  The Company plans to exit 2014, with a small direct sales force complemented by a distributor network that is focused on J-Plasma®.
• Investing in surgeon training and procedure development:  A well-informed and well-trained surgeon base is critical to the sustained adoption of J-Plasma.  To accomplish this objective, we will conduct several dedicated physician training courses throughout 2014.
• Driving awareness of J-Plasma:  While J-Plasma holds great promise, its existence and key attributes are not yet widely known.  It is our intention to execute a targeted marketing and branding campaign to create better awareness of the technology.

“We expect to see some early sales benefit to J-Plasma® from these activities in 2014, but our main objective for the current year is to build the appropriate foundation for substantial and sustainable long-term growth and to report on milestones as they occur over the coming quarters of 2014.  Additionally, although J-Plasma® will serve as the primary driver of growth, we are confident in our ability to improve the performance of our core business.  We plan to employ a disciplined strategy of fully leveraging our existing product suite in electrosurgical generators, electrodes, and medical lighting, introducing several new products, and rebuilding our pipeline of OEM projects,” Mr. Gershon concluded.
