On June 27, INVO Bioscience, Inc. (NASDAQ: INVO,  $.1770, -..29% and up 2.26% in the aftermarket), a commercial-stage fertility company focused on expanding access to advanced treatment worldwide with its INVOcell® medical device and the intravaginal culture (“IVC”) procedure it enables, announced it has received U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) 510(k) clearance to expand the labeling on the INVOcell device and its indication for use to provide for a 5-day incubation period. The data supporting the expanded 5-day incubation clearance demonstrated improved patient outcomes. Steve Shum, CEO of INVO stated, “This is a momentous day for INVO as the FDA has provided clearance for us to expand our labeling to cover a 5-day incubation period for INVOcell. This has been a multi-year effort to demonstrate INVOcell’s ability to improve patient outcomes using a longer incubation period, similar to conventional IVF results. We believe our ability to now communicate the improved success rates using INVOcell to patients and physicians will have a positive effect on the overall confidence and adoption of the technology going forward. The global fertility services market is a substantial, multi-billion-dollar industry and growing, with a significant underserved patient population. INVO’s commercial strategy remains focused on helping to expand affordable care to the underserved patients in need. The Company’s market approach includes the opening of dedicated “INVO Centers” offering INVOcell® and IVC procedure (three centers in North America now operational), the acquisition of existing profitable IVF clinics (signed binding agreements to acquire Wisconsin Fertility Institute), and the continued global distribution and sale of the INVOcell technology solution into existing fertility clinics. We believe the recent 510(k) clearance will help further support our overall commercial activities.”

On May 15, INVO announced financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 and provided a business update. Steve Shum, CEO of INVO stated, “We made significant progress on nearly every key operational metric during the first quarter, particularly within our three existing INVO Centers in Atlanta, Birmingham and Monterrey achieving record levels of revenue and patient cycles. These three centers combined to generate $646,707 in revenue, an increase of 108% from the first quarter of the prior year and were ahead 46% sequentially from Q4 2022, as patients increasingly recognize and value the remarkable opportunity INVO offers to assist families with affordable fertility options. We are extremely pleased to see the existing clinics nearing break-even and look forward to each of them generating positive cashflows and profits in the near future. Tampa Fertility Institute, our planned INVO Center in Tampa, is progressing with a mid-summer target opening and we are also executing on the early preparation work for an INVO Center in Kansas City. To build on the success we are achieving with our INVO Centers, we expanded our commercialization approach to include the acquisition of established and profitable US IVF clinics and announced the execution of binding agreements to acquire Wisconsin Fertility Institute,” Shum continued. “We view our acquisition strategy as highly complementary to our ongoing efforts to build new INVO Centers, increase sales of our INVOcell® device and expand adoption of the IVC procedure. We expect this strategy to accelerate our corporate development efforts and our path to profitability, as we integrate IVC alongside IVF. We view these two procedures as highly complementary to each other and to our mission of expanding access and affordability for the millions of people for whom the cost of IVF is out of reach. We look forward to closing the acquisition in the current quarter.”
