“We are very proud of this quarter and fiscal year's results considering the disruption Covid-19 has had on elective procedures in health care facilities in the U.S. and around the world,” said Raymond W. Cohen, chief executive officer of Axonics. “In 2021, in addition to strong commercial execution, Axonics made important progress on several strategic initiatives, including the successful acquisition and launch of Bulkamid in the U.S., significant growth of our commercial field team, expansion of our in-house manufacturing capabilities, and the FDA submission of our recharge-free SNM system.”

Cohen continued, “In 2022, we expect the introduction of our long-lived, recharge-free SNM system in the first half of 2022 to set a new standard for what is possible in this category. We are also eagerly looking forward to launching a national television direct-to-consumer advertising campaign as we continue to increase awareness for Axonics therapies to treat all forms of incontinence. We remain confident that our commitment to innovation, quality and providing physicians and patients strong support will continue to drive market expansion and advance Axonics on its path to market leadership.”

The preliminary results are unaudited and remain subject to adjustment. Axonics will report complete fourth quarter and fiscal year 2021 financial results and hold a corresponding conference call on February 24, 2022.
