Fiscal year 2022 revenue guidance raised to $262 million, an increase of 45% year over year

Axonics, Inc. (Nasdaq: AXNX), a global medical technology company that is developing and commercializing novel products for the treatment of bladder and bowel dysfunction, today reported financial results for the three months ended September 30, 2022.

“This quarter’s record revenue result reflects growing demand from physicians and their patients for our best-in-class incontinence products,” said Raymond W. Cohen, chief executive officer of Axonics. “In the third quarter, total revenue increased by 50% compared to the prior year period. Sacral neuromodulation revenue grew 42% year over year, benefiting from the overwhelmingly positive physician response to the commercial launch of the Axonics F15™ recharge-free SNM system. Bulkamid^® generated another record revenue quarter and we now expect this product to generate $50 million of revenue in 2022, which is two years ahead of our original forecast at the time of the acquisition in February 2021.”

Cohen continued, “In addition to strong commercial execution, we continue to make progress on several key initiatives, including our direct-to-consumer advertising campaign, expansion of our in-house manufacturing capabilities that has benefited gross margin, and FDA review for approval of our fourth-generation rechargeable SNM system. We remain confident that our commitment to innovation, quality and providing physicians and patients strong clinical support will continue to drive market expansion and advance Axonics on its path to incontinence market leadership.”
