Electromed delivers eighth consecutive quarter of year-over-year revenue and profit growth, while continuing to invest in strategic growth initiatives

Electromed, Inc. ("Electromed") (NYSE:ELMD), a leader in innovative airway clearance technologies, today announced financial results for the three months ended September 30, 2024 ("Q1 FY 2025").

Q1 FY 2025 Financial Highlights

Net revenue increased 19.0% to $14.7 million in Q1 FY 2025, from $12.3 million in the first quarter of the prior fiscal year.
Gross margin was 78.3% of net revenues, compared to 77.1% in the first quarter of the prior fiscal year.
Operating income increased to $1.9 million or 13.2% of revenue compared to $0.1 million or 1.2% of revenue in the first quarter of the prior fiscal year.
Net income was $1.5 million, or $0.16 per diluted share, compared to $0.2 million, or $0.02 per diluted share in the first quarter of the prior fiscal year.
Share repurchases of Electromed stock totaled 262,756 at an average price of $17.26 per share, or an aggregate amount of approximately $4.5 million against an authorization of $5 million.

"The Electromed team performed at a high level in the first quarter, generating strong results and getting fiscal 2025 off to an outstanding start," said Jim Cunniff, President, and Chief Executive Officer. "This is particularly impressive given our excellent results in fiscal 2024, and demonstrates the team's ability to grow profitably, enhancing shareholder value. Our direct sales force now totals 53 reps and we increased our total number of sales territories to 57 by the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2025. This highly accomplished team has been the catalyst for our growth. Additionally, we launched an exciting new marketing campaign, called Triple Down on Bronchiectasis, which highlights the vital role of airway clearance as a key component of a complete bronchiectasis treatment program, and the response has been overwhelmingly positive. Finally, to lead our various market development initiatives, we have hired Peter Horwich as our new VP of Marketing. It has been an exciting quarter, and I look forward to working towards another record-breaking year in fiscal 2025."

Q1 FY 2025 Results

All amounts below are for the three months ended September 30, 2024 ("Q1 FY 2025") and compare to the three months ended September 30, 2023 ("Q1 FY 2024").

Net revenues grew 19.0% to $14.7 million, from $12.3 million in Q1 FY 2024.

Revenue in our direct homecare business increased year-over-year by 18.5% to $13.2 million, from $11.2 million. The increase in revenue was due to an increase in referrals driven by an increase in direct sales representatives, higher quality referrals, higher net revenue per approval, and efficiencies within our reimbursement department. Field sales force employees totaled 60 at quarter end, 53 of which were direct sales representatives. The annualized homecare revenue per weighted average direct sales representative in Q1 FY 2025 was $985,000, at the higher end of Electromed's increased annual target range of $900,000 to $1,000,000.

Gross profit increased to $11.5 million, or 78.3% of net revenues from $9.5 million or 77.1% of net revenues, in Q1 FY 2024. The increase in gross profit dollars for the three months ended September 30, 2024, was primarily due to increased revenue volume and a higher average net revenue per device. The gross margin rate increased year over year, primarily driven by a higher average net revenue per device.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $9.4 million representing an increase of $0.2 million or 2.6%, compared to Q1 FY 2024. The increase in the current period was primarily due to increases in share-based compensation associated with the vesting of performance-based equity awards, salaries, and incentive compensation related to the higher average number of sales, sales support, marketing, and an increase in reimbursement personnel to process higher patient referrals.

Operating income was $1.9 million, compared to $0.1 million in Q1 FY 2024. The increase in operating income was driven primarily by increased revenue and gross profit and growth in selling, general and administrative expense growth tracking below revenue growth.

Net income was $1.5 million, or $0.16 per diluted share, compared to $0.2 million, or $0.02 per diluted share in Q1 FY 2024.

As of September 30, 2024, Electromed had $13.9 million in cash, $22.4 million in accounts receivable and no debt, achieving an overall working capital of $33.6 million. The cash balance reflects a decrease of $2.2 million in the quarter. The decrease primarily resulted from the share repurchase of approximately $4.5 million of Electromed common stock, offset by $2.3 million of positive operating cash flow within the quarter.
