INVO Bioscience Reports Second Quarter 2020 Financial Results

SARASOTA, Fla., Aug. 13, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- INVO Bioscience, Inc. (OTCQB: INVO), a medical device company focused on creating alternative treatments for patients diagnosed with infertility and developers of INVOcell®, the world's only in vivo Intravaginal Culture System, today announced financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2020.

Recent Highlights

    --  Similar to the first quarter of 2020, revenues of $246,072 in the second
        quarter of 2020 continued to be impacted by COVID-19. However, with many
        fertility clinics reopening along with the annual minimums required
        under the Company's U.S. commercialization agreement, the Company
        expects higher revenue in the second half of 2020.
    --  The Company finished the quarter ended June 30, 2020 with a cash
        position of approximately $1.5 million. Subsequent to the quarter end,
        the Company completed its 3rd and final closing of its convertible note
        financing along with the receipt of its PPP loan, the combination of
        which added approximately $557,000 in additional cash proceeds.
    --  Received registration approval for INVOcell in Turkey paving the way for
        commercialization efforts to begin in the country.

Management Discussion

"Despite the impact that COVID-19 has had in delaying fertility treatment for many around the world, we continue to make strong progress on our key goals to create commercialization agreements for our INVOcell solution" commented Steve Shum, Chief Executive Officer of INVO Bioscience. "As we have been advancing our commercialization efforts outside the United States, industry leaders, as well as our internal team, have begun to recognize the expanded opportunity that exists through the creation of these joint ventures for developing dedicated, INVO-only centers in the U.S. and select markets around the world. The INVO center model also allows INVO Bioscience to participate in a greater share of the economics. Over the past year, we have had a number of conversations that started as standard distribution agreements that have evolved into potential joint venture agreements. We believe such partnerships, such as the one signed in India, will ultimately be mutually beneficial to achieving our goal to increase access to care and lower the cost of fertility treatment across the globe."

"Similar to the first quarter of 2020, the second quarter 2020 results were impacted by the COVID-19 virus outbreak which resulted in reduced product sales to Ferring. A majority of clinics curtailed their fertility services in connection with the lockdowns that occurred. Many of the clinics have since resumed operations, albeit at a measured pace. As a result, and along with Ferring's required annual minimums, we expect to experience stronger sales in the second half of 2020. We also believe that new guidelines that requiring limiting interactions and social distancing at most clinics could favor accelerated adoption of our technology, which allows for a more streamlined cycle approach with fewer patient visits and reduced lab requirements and resources," Mr. Shum concluded.

International Market Update

    --  Africa and Eurasia: The Company previously executed distribution
        agreements in certain markets in Africa and Eurasia toward the end of
        2019. Following execution of those agreements, the Company began the
        product registration and approval process in order to begin importing
        into those markets. The Company recently received the first of the
        product registration approvals for Turkey in July 2020. The Company is
        now working with its distribution partner in Turkey to begin
        commercialization. Work is continuing with the remaining countries to
        complete registrations, and while the timelines have been impacted by
        COVID-19, the Company expects several will be completed near-term.
    --  India: INVO Biosciences' JV partnership, signed in January 2020, remains
        focused on opening dedicated INVO-only clinic in the India marketplace.
        While those efforts were delayed due to the pandemic and the
        country-wide shutdown, the joint-venture is still targeting the first
        clinic opening before year end.
    --  New Markets: INVO Bioscience is targeting a number of additional markets
        outside the U.S (OUS). and has discussions underway in Mexico, Canada,
        Columbia, Spain, Macedonia, Indonesia, Russia, Malaysia, and China among
        others. The Company has set a goal of adding additional OUS markets
        (through distribution or partnership agreements) before year end.

Financial Results

Revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2020, was $246,072 compared to $658,638 for the same three-month period in 2019, a decrease of $412,566 or 63%.

The gross margin reported for the second quarter ended June 30, 2020 was 91% or $224,902 compared to 92% or $603,356 for the three months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease in gross margin was related to slightly higher product costs. The cost of sales recognized during the second quarter of 2019 were attributed to product shipments to Ferring.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2020 were $1,252,939 as compared to $669,152 for the three months ended June 30, 2019, an increase of $583,787 or 87%. The increase in SG&A during the second quarter of 2020 compared to the second quarter of 2019 was primarily the result of an increase in wages, stock-based compensation and other corporate expenses.

The Company began to fund additional research and development ("R&D") efforts in 2020 in preparation for its upcoming clinical trial, anticipated to occur in 2020, and additional patent filings. Excluding the investment in inventory in anticipation of clinical trials beginning in 2020 and patents, R&D expenses for 2020 were $32,890. During 2019 the Company did not fund any R&D as a result of its limited resources at the time.

During the three-month period ended June 30, 2020 we incurred $259,954 in interest expense, an increase of $84,198 compared to $175,756 in the three-month period ended June 30, 2019 or approximately 48%. The increase was primarily due to higher amortization of debt discount on the 2020 Convertible Notes Payable.

For the reasons stated above, the Company had a net loss of $1,322,881 for the three months ended June 30, 2020, an increase of $1,081,329 compared to a net loss of $241,552 for the three months ended June 30, 2019, or approximately 448%. The increase in net loss is primarily attributable to the increase in operating expense, with $511,798 related to non-cash expenses.

The Company finished the quarter ended June 30, 2020 with a cash position of approximately $1.5 million. Subsequent to the quarter end, the Company completed its 3rd and final closing of its financing along with the receipt of its PPP loan, the combination of which added an approximately $557,000 in additional cash proceeds.
