Exhibit 99.1
Axonics Reports Second Quarter 2023 Financial Results

Generated quarterly revenue of $92.9 million, an increase of 35% year over year

Fiscal year 2023 revenue guidance increased to $358 million

IRVINE, Calif. – July 27, 2023 – 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 June 30, 2023.

“Our commercial team continues to execute at a high level, generating revenue growth of 35% year over year in the second quarter,” said Raymond W. Cohen, chief executive officer. “Our growth was driven by higher utilization and share of wallet at existing customers and the onboarding of new accounts. Based on the strong results generated in the second quarter, we are raising our fiscal year 2023 revenue guidance to $358 million, representing growth of 31% year over year.”

Cohen continued, “Higher manufacturing yields, insourcing certain processes, and a keen focus on managing our supply chain resulted in a gross margin of over 75% in the second quarter. This gross margin result combined with record revenue and the inherent operating leverage of our business model resulted in adjusted EBITDA of over $18 million in the second quarter. Axonics is growing rapidly and profitably as we advance on our path to incontinence market leadership.”

Forward-Looking Statements
Statements made in this press release that relate to future plans, events, prospects or performance are forward-looking statements as defined under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Words such as “plans,” “expects,” “believes,” “anticipates,” “designs,” and similar words are intended to identify forward-looking statements. While these forward-looking statements are based on the current expectations and beliefs of management, such forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the expectations expressed in this press release, including the risks and uncertainties disclosed in Axonics filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, all of which are available online at www.sec.gov. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. Except as required by law, Axonics undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements to reflect new information, changed circumstances or unanticipated events.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement Axonics’ consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), Axonics provides certain non-GAAP financial measures in this release as supplemental financial metrics.




Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as net income (loss) before other income/expense (including interest), income tax expense (benefit), depreciation and amortization expense, stock-based compensation expense, acquisition-related costs, acquired in-process research and development expense, loss on disposal of property and equipment, and expense related to impairment of intangible assets. Management believes that in order to properly understand short-term and long-term financial trends, investors may want to consider the impact of these excluded items in addition to GAAP measures. The excluded items vary in frequency and/or impact on our results of operations and management believes that the excluded items are typically not reflective of our ongoing core business operations and financial condition. Further, management uses adjusted EBITDA for both strategic and annual operating planning. A reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA reported in this release to the most comparable GAAP measure for the respective periods appears in the table captioned “Reconciliation of GAAP Net Income (Loss) to Adjusted EBITDA” later in this release.

The non-GAAP financial measures used by Axonics may not be the same or calculated in the same manner as those used and calculated by other companies. Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for Axonics’ financial results prepared and reported in accordance with GAAP. We urge investors to review the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures included in this press release, and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business.
