CLEARWATER, Fla., May 07, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Apyx Medical Corporation (NASDAQ:APYX) ("Apyx Medical;" the "Company"), the leader in surgical aesthetics marketed and sold as Renuvion^® and the AYON Body Contouring System^™ (AYON), today reported financial results for its first quarter ended March 31, 2026.

Recent Financial and Operating Highlights:

Reported total revenue of $12.5 million in the first quarter of 2026, compared with $9.4 million in the same period last year.
- Surgical Aesthetics revenue increased to $10.7 million in the first quarter of 2026, compared with $7.9 million in the first quarter of 2025, which was the result of domestic sales of AYON, Renuvion generators internationally, and single use handpieces worldwide.
- OEM revenue was approximately $1.8 million in the first quarter of 2026, representing an increase of 13.8% from the same period last year.
Net loss attributable to stockholders of $2.1 million in the first quarter of 2026, compared with a net loss attributable to stockholders of $4.2 million in the first quarter of 2025.
Adjusted EBITDA loss was $0.3 million for the first quarter of 2026, compared with an Adjusted EBITDA loss of $2.4 million for the first quarter of 2025.
International sales exceeded expectations, driven in part by sales of the Apyx One Console and single‑use handpieces in South Korea following regulatory approval in December 2025. South Korea represents an attractive growth market, with the cosmetic surgery market estimated at $1.7 billion in 2024 and projected to exceed $3.9 billion by 2031.
Renuvion won the 2026 NewBeauty award for "Best Minimally Invasive Skin Tightener" for the second year in a row.

"Our first quarter results reflect continued execution against our commercial strategy, with strong revenue growth driven by adoption of AYON in the U.S., increasing demand for Renuvion internationally and an increase in handpieces worldwide," said Charlie Goodwin, President and Chief Executive Officer. "During the quarter, our team delivered on several fronts, including growing Surgical Aesthetic sales including expansion of AYON and exceeding expectations in key international markets such as South Korea. Taken together, this performance reinforces our confidence in the business and supports our decision to raise our revenue outlook for the full year 2026."

First Quarter 2026 Results:

Total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2026 increased to $12.5 million, compared with $9.4 million in the prior year period. Surgical Aesthetics segment sales increased 36.1% or $2.8 million to approximately $10.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, when compared with $7.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The Surgical Aesthetics sales increase was driven by sales of AYON, as the Company commenced the commercial launch in the third quarter of 2025, increased sales of generators internationally and increased volume of single-use handpieces in both domestic and international markets. These increases were partially offset by decreases in domestic sales of generators, including upgrades to the Apyx One Console, where the purchase of AYON was not part of the sale and upgrades to the Apyx One Console in international markets. OEM segment sales increased 13.8%, or approximately $0.2 million, to $1.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, when compared with $1.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase in OEM sales was due to increases in sales volume to existing customers. While OEM segment sales increased for the three month period, with the increased focus on Surgical Aesthetics, it is expected that OEM segment revenue will decrease for the year and that this trend will continue over time.

Gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2026, increased to $7.9 million, compared with $5.7 million for the same period in the prior year. Gross margin for the three months ended March 31, 2026, was 63.5%, compared to 60.1% for the same period in 2025. The increase in gross margin for the three months ended March 31, 2026 from the prior year period is primarily attributable to mix between the Company's segments with Surgical Aesthetics comprising a higher percentage of total sales and product mix within the OEM segment. This was partially offset by geographic mix, with international sales comprising a higher percentage of total sales and tariffs that began effecting the Company in the second half of 2025.

Operating expenses were essentially flat at $8.8 million for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2026, compared with $8.7 million for the same period last year. The slight increase in operating expenses was driven by a $0.2 million increase in salaries and related costs and a $0.1 million increase in selling, general and administrative expenses. These increases were partially offset by a $0.1 million decrease in professional services and a $39,000 decrease in research and development.

Other expense, net was relatively flat at $1.1 million for each of the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.

Net loss attributable to stockholders was $2.1 million, or $0.05 per share, for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared with $4.2 million, or $0.10 per share, in the prior year period.

Adjusted EBITDA loss for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $0.3 million as compared with an Adjusted EBITDA loss of $2.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025.

As of March 31, 2026, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $31.1 million. Management believes based on its projections, including the uptake of the AYON platform, working capital management and its strict cost controls, the Company will yield cash through 2027.

Financial Guidance for Full Year 2026:

The Company announced an upward revision to select financial guidance targets for the year ending December 31, 2026:

Total revenue in the range of $59.0 million to $60.0 million, up from the previous guidance of $57.5 million to $58.5 million. This is compared with $52.8 million reported for the year ended December 31, 2025.
- Total revenue guidance assumes:
  - Surgical Aesthetics revenue is expected to be in the range of $54.0 million to $55.0 million, up from the previous guidance of $53.0 million to $54.0 million. This is compared with approximately $45.3 million reported for the year ended December 31, 2025.
  - OEM revenue is expected to be approximately $5.0 million, up from $4.5 million. This is compared with approximately $7.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2025.
The Company continues to expect operating expenses of less than $45.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2026.
