Recent Operational Highlights
Management Commentary
"2022 was another important year overall for INVO," commented Steve Shum, CEO of INVO. "Our initial three INVO centers made steady progress throughout their first full year of operation, reaching a combined total revenue of over $1.6 million, setting the stage for our plans to build additional INVO Centers with Tampa targeted to open soon. We further evolved our commercial efforts to build the Company by adding an acquisition strategy that is expected to allow us to synergistically introduce INVOcell into existing IVF clinics and to add profitable revenue sources to our operations. Additionally, we have made significant progress with our 5-day label enhancement efforts with the FDA."
"The signing of binding agreements to acquire Wisconsin Fertility Institute, an existing, established, profitable conventional IVF center is significant for a number of reasons, but most notably its ability to accelerate our business plan and substantially improve our financial profile," Shum continued. "The acquisition approach is highly complementary to our ongoing efforts to build new INVO Centers and increase the distribution of INVOcell across existing IVF clinics. This multi-channel strategy greatly enhances our business and provides a solid foundation and strategy for our future growth."
Acquisition Details
On March 20, 2023, INVO announced it had signed binding agreements to acquire Wisconsin Fertility Institute, one of the state's preeminent fertility centers having assisted in welcoming over 5,000 babies since opening its doors in 2007 and completing approximately 550 conventional IVF cycles in 2022.
The purchase price for the acquisition is $10 million payable over a three-year period. There will be an initial $2.5 million of cash due at closing, with subsequent $2.5 million payments due annually for the following three years. At the discretion of the sellers, subsequent payments may be paid in cash or in shares of INVO common stock valued at $6.25, $9.09, and $14.29, for the second, third and final payments, respectively.
Upon closing of the transaction, Wisconsin Fertility Institute will become a wholly owned subsidiary, and its financial statements will be consolidated with those of INVO. Audited financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, unaudited financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, and unaudited pro forma condensed financial statements based on the combination of INVO and Wisconsin Fertility Institute's statements of operation for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, as well as balance sheet as of September 30, 2022 have been filed on Form 8-K with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission at www.sec.gov, and are also available in the investor relations section of the Company's website at www.invobio.com.
Final closing of the transaction is expected to occur in the second calendar quarter of 2023, subject to completing customary closing procedures.
Financial Results
Revenue for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 was $0.8 million and $4.2 million, respectively, representing a decrease of approximately $3.4 million, or 80% in the year ended December 31, 2022. The decrease was due to the termination of our agreement with Ferring, which resulted in the full recognition, in 2021, of the remaining $3.6 million in deferred revenue related to the Ferring agreement and was partially offset by an increase in 2022 clinic revenue. Excluding Ferring, revenue was $0.6 million last year compared to $0.8 million this year.
Clinic revenue from the Company's consolidated INVO Center was $614,854 during 2022 compared to $43,745 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2021. Gross revenue from all INVO Centers combined was $1,614,143 compared to $195,417 in the year ago period.
Revenue attributable to INVOcell product sales was $207,342 during 2022 compared to $544,942 in 2021. The decrease resulted from a one-time order by Ferring in Q1 2021 to meet its 2020 minimum purchase required under our agreement and did not reflect actual market demand.
Gross margin was 60% and 97% for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The decrease in gross margin was attributable to the change in revenue mix. In particular, we no longer had license revenue in 2022, and clinic revenue became a larger component of our overall business compared to product revenue. Excluding the effect of the license revenue, adjusted gross margin in 2021 was 75%.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 were $10.6 million and $9.0 million, respectively, of which $2.2 million and $2.7 million, respectively, was for non-cash, stock-based compensation expense. The increase of approximately $1.6 million or 17% was primarily the result of approximately $1.0 million in increased personnel expense related to headcount expansion in sales, marketing and administration, approximately $0.7 million in increased expenses related to the full-year operations of the consolidated Atlanta, Georgia-based INVO Center, approximately $0.4 million in increased marketing spend, and was partially offset by an approximately $0.3 million decrease in legal and startup costs related to new and potential INVO Centers and an approximately $0.6 million decrease in professional fees.
We began to fund additional research and development ("R&D") efforts in 2020 as part of our 5-day label expansion efforts. R&D expenses were $0.5 million and $0.2 million, for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The increase of approximately $0.3 million was due applying additional resources to respond to the FDA on the 510(k) submission to support out label expansion.
Loss from equity investments for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, were $0.2 million and $0.3 million, respectively. The decrease in loss is due to the Alabama and Mexico JVs only being in the early ramp-up phase and open for only a part of 2021.
Adjusted EBITDA (see Adjusted EBITDA Table) for the year ended December 31, 2022, was $(8.4) million, which included $0.8 million loss attributable to our joint ventures, compared to adjusted EBITDA of $(2.8) million for the year ended December 31, 2021, which included a $0.7 million loss attributable to our joint ventures. The 2022 EBITDA loss also included approximately $0.3 million related to acquisition costs and non-recurring write down of legacy intellectual property.
As of December 31, 2022, the Company had approximately $0.1 million in cash. In March 2023, announced the closing of registered direct offering and private placement with gross proceeds to the Company of approximately $3.0 million before deducting the placement agent's fees and other offering expenses.
Use of Non-GAAP Measure
Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure. This measure is not intended to be a substitute for those financial measures reported in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA has been included because management believes that, when considered together with the GAAP figures, it provides meaningful information related to our operating performance and liquidity and can enhance an overall understanding of financial results and trends. Adjusted EBITDA may be calculated by us differently than other companies that disclose measures with the same or similar terms. See our attached financials for a reconciliation of this non-GAAP measure to the nearest GAAP measure.

About INVO Bioscience
We are a commercial-stage fertility company dedicated to expanding the assisted reproductive technology ("ART") marketplace by making fertility care accessible and inclusive to people around the world. Our primary mission is to implement new medical technologies aimed at increasing the availability of affordable, high-quality, patient-centered fertility care. Our flagship product is INVOcell®, a revolutionary medical device that allows fertilization and early embryo development to take place in vivo within the woman's body. This treatment solution is the world's first intravaginal culture technique for the incubation of oocytes and sperm during fertilization and early embryo development. This technique, designated as "IVC", provides patients a more natural, intimate, and more affordable experience in comparison to other ART treatments. We believe the IVC procedure can deliver comparable results at a fraction of the cost of traditional in vitro fertilization ("IVF") and is a significantly more effective treatment than intrauterine insemination ("IUI"). Our commercialization strategy is focused on the opening of dedicated "INVO Centers" offering the INVOcell® and IVC procedure (with three centers in North America now operational), in addition to continuing to distribute and sell our technology solution into existing fertility clinics.
