SAINT PAUL, MN (September 10, 2015) - MGC Diagnostics Corporation (NASDAQ: MGCD), a global medical technology company, today reported financial results for the third quarter ended July 31, 2015.
2015 third quarter domestic equipment, supplies and accessories revenues were $5.2 million, compared to $3.9 million the 2014 third quarter, a 32.4% increase. During the quarter, competitive account conversions totaled 14 accounts, or $614,000 in revenue, compared to 10 accounts, or $620,000 in revenue for the same quarter last year, and MediSoft contributed domestic revenues of $111,000 from its U.S. distributor. Excluding the effect of revenues from competitive conversions and domestic MediSoft revenue, in each period, Medical Graphics domestic equipment and accessories revenue grew
56.3% in the fiscal 2015 third quarter, compared to the same quarter last year.

Domestic service revenues, which are entirely attributed to Medical Graphics, increased
3.4% to $1.7 million, compared to $1.6 million for the same quarter last year. The
Attachment Rate, which reflects the percentage of Extended Service Contracts that were sold during customer equipment purchases, was 25.4% for the fiscal 2015 third quarter.
International equipment, supplies and accessories revenues grew 126.2% to $2.4 million, compared to $1.0 million for the fiscal 2014 third quarter, due primarily to the $1.3 million of revenues contributed by MediSoft from international markets. Excluding MediSoft revenues, Medical Graphics international equipment, supplies and accessories revenues increased 2.8% due to higher sales in the Asia Pacific market.
"We are pleased with our third quarter results as revenue and operating income grew compared to our second quarter results. The 2015 second quarter release of our Ultima Series TM cardiorespiratory diagnostic system is being well received by the market. During the 2015 third quarter, we shipped twenty-four Ultima Series TM systems, which contributed to a 28.3% increase in domestic equipment revenue compared to our 2015 second quarter, and our pipeline for this product continues to build. We have good sales momentum and a solid sales pipeline as we head into the fourth quarter," said Todd M. Austin, chief executive officer.
Fiscal 2015 Third Quarter
Gross margin for the quarter was 48.7% (50.3% for Medical Graphics and 39.9% for MediSoft), compared to 55.7% in the fiscal 2014 third quarter for Medical Graphics. Gross margin for equipment, supplies and accessories was 44.9% for the quarter (46.0% for Medical Graphics and 39.9% for MediSoft), compared to 51.8% for Medical Graphics in the prior year's quarter. Gross margin for services was 66.0% for the quarter, compared to 67.5% for the same period last year.
During the quarter, Medical Graphics wrote off $266,000 of capitalized software development costs for its Breeze/WebReview product. The write-off is due to management's belief that future product sales will be insufficient to support the carrying value of the asset, which was therefore deemed to be impaired. The write-off reduced
2015 third quarter Medical Graphics' total gross margin by 340 basis points, and Medical
Graphics' gross margin for equipment, supplies and accessories by 430 basis points.
Third quarter 2015 general and administrative expenses totaled $1.2 million, or 13.2% of revenue, compared to $1.7 million, or 26.2% of revenue in the comparable quarter last year. This decrease is primarily due to $809,000 of lower Medical Graphics general and administrative expenses, partially offset by MediSoft general and administrative expenses of $302,000.
Sales and marketing expenses were $2.1 million, or 22.8% of revenue, compared to $2.0 million, or 30.3% of revenue in the 2014 third quarter. This increase is primarily due to MediSoft sales and marketing expenses of $191,000, partially offset by $88,000 of lower Medical Graphics sales and marketing expenses.
Research and development expenses were $694,000, or 7.5% of revenue in the fiscal
2015 third quarter, down from $750,000, or 11.4% of revenue in last year's third quarter. This decrease is primarily due to $162,000 of lower Medical Graphics research and development expenses, partially offset by MediSoft research and development expenses of $106,000.
The acquisition of MediSoft increased the Company's exposure to currency translation risks due to its investment in Euro-denominated assets and the earnings derived from MediSoft's operations. The Company structured the capitalization of its Belgium holding company with a combination of debt and equity to obtain potential tax savings on the future profitability of MediSoft. In the fiscal 2015 third quarter, due to the United States
Page 2 of 7
dollar gaining strength against the Euro, we reported a non-cash, foreign currency translation loss of $50,000 in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income
(loss) as foreign currency loss. Additionally, pertaining to the net asset position for assets and liabilities of MediSoft, we also incurred a non-cash, foreign currency translation gain
of $5,000, which is included in the consolidated balance sheets as accumulated other comprehensive loss, and in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss) as other comprehensive loss.
Austin continued, "Medisoft's third quarter results showed an improvement over its second quarter. Revenue remained flat at $1.4 million, but its gross margin improved to 39.9% and operating expenses decreased $100,000 compared to the second quarter. These improvements lowered Medisoft's operating loss to $90,000, a $194,000 improvement compared to its second quarter operating loss of $284,000. The measures we have taken to improve Medisoft's performance are showing gratifying results, and we expect that Medisoft will continue to show additional improvement as we finish the year."
"Finally, we are particularly delighted with the results of our Medical Graphics subsidiary. Third quarter revenue is up 18.9% and 7.6% compared to the same quarter last year and this year's second quarter, respectively. Our 2015 year-to-date revenue is 12.4% ahead of the first three quarters of fiscal 2014. And our 2015 nine-month revenue is $356,000 ahead of the revenue reported for the first three quarters of fiscal 2013, a year we posted revenue of $31.6 million, the best result Medical Graphics has had since fiscal 2007. Although gross margin experienced some pressure the past two quarters, we expect to see margins rebound in the near term. Also,
2015 year to date operating income of $1.6 million is higher than operating income of $1.4 million that we generated during all of fiscal 2013, which was Medical Graphics' best result since 2007. We remain enthusiastic about our business strategies, the state of the pulmonary diagnostic market and the value of our products, services and market positioning. We are optimistic that we will finish the year strong," concluded Austin.
Net Operating Loss Carry Forwards
At October 31, 2014, the Company, through its Medical Graphics subsidiary, had federal net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $13.0 million, not subject to IRC annual limitations on use. These loss carryforwards will expire in years 2018 through 2034. Net operating loss carryforwards from the Company's international tax jurisdictions were approximately $3.0 million. These loss carryforwards do not expire.
The Company regularly evaluates both positive and negative evidence related to retaining a valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets. The realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon sufficient future taxable income during the periods when deductible temporary differences and carryforwards are expected to be available to reduce taxable income.
In the 2015 third quarter, Medical Graphics recognized a tax benefit of $3.1 million due to the partial reversal of the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets that are primarily related to its net operating loss carryforwards. This recognition was based on the assessment of all available evidence, including (i) previous three-year cumulative income before infrequent and unusual items, (ii) a history of generating income before taxes for the past two years and (iii) estimates of future Medical Graphics profitability, resulting in a Company determination that it was more-
likely-than-not that the Company would be able to realize a portion of its deferred tax assets in the future and a decision to record the non-cash partial reversal of our deferred tax asset valuation allowance. The Company's balance sheet at July 31, 2015 reflects this tax benefit as approximately $1.1 million of current and $2.0 million of non-current deferred tax assets.
