Management Discussion

Richard DiIorio, Chief Executive Officer of InfuSystem, said, "We delivered another quarter of strong operating results with revenue and net income growth of 17% and 56%, respectively. The financial results of our third quarter represent the seventh consecutive quarter with record revenue, which we believe reflect the fundamental strength of our business. Our team continues to deliver sequential operational improvement with double-digit revenue growth for both Patient Services (formerly ITS), up 11%, and Device Solutions (formerly DME Services), up 27%. The positive results reflect our continued focus on execution of our strategic priorities, and I am proud of our team's hard work."

"With solid year-to-date performance, we are raising our full-year 2023 net revenue growth guidance to be greater than 11%, up from our previous estimate calling for an annual growth rate above 10%. Although we expect to conclude the year with record annual revenue, we also expect the fourth quarter to be slightly lower versus this year's record third quarter. As we had previously anticipated, we have delivered a significant number of negative pressure wound therapy devices as part of a large lease agreement, which positively impacted the first three quarters of 2023, but will likely be much lower during the fourth quarter of 2023. We believe that our commitment to helping people live longer and healthier lives and strengthening critical partnerships lays the groundwork for long-term success that will reward our shareholders."

2023 Third Quarter Financial Review

Net revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 2023 were $31.9 million, an increase of $4.6 million, or 17.0%, compared to $27.3 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2022. The increase included higher net revenues for both the Patient Services and Device Solutions segments.

Patient Services net revenue of $19.3 million increased $1.9 million, or 11.0%, during the third quarter of 2023 compared to the prior year period. This increase was primarily attributable to additional treatment volume in the Oncology Business, revenue from sales-type leases of NPWT pumps, improved third party payer collections on billings and higher average prices. The largest net revenue improvement came from Wound Care, which increased by $1.1 million, or 693%, compared to the same prior year period, mainly due to increased sales of equipment on sales-type leases, partially offset by lower treatment volumes. Net revenue in the Oncology Business for the third quarter of 2023 increased by $0.8 million, or 5.2%, compared to the same prior year period.

Device Solutions net revenue of $12.6 million (exclusive of inter-segment revenues) increased $2.7 million, or 27.4%, during the third quarter of 2023 as compared to the prior year period. This increase included higher biomedical services revenue which increased by $2.6 million, or 150%. The increased biomedical revenue was mainly attributable to increased revenue from the master services agreement that we entered into with a leading global healthcare technology and diagnostic company in April 2022.

Gross profit for the third quarter of 2023 of $16.2 million increased slightly compared to the third quarter of 2022. The impact from the increase in net revenue was offset by a lower gross profit percentage of net revenue ("gross margin"). Gross margin was 50.9% during the third quarter of 2023 as compared to 59.5% during the prior year period, a decrease of 8.5%. Gross profit increased in the Patient Services segment but was lower in the Device Solutions segment. Gross margin decreased in both operating segments.

Patient Services gross profit was $11.8 million during the third quarter of 2023, representing an increase of $0.4 million compared to the prior year period. The increase reflected higher net revenue partially offset by lower gross margin, which decreased from the prior year by 4.2% to 61.4%. The decrease in gross margin reflected higher pump disposal expenses and an unfavorable product mix favoring lower margin revenues. These impacts were partially offset by improved coverage of fixed costs from higher net revenue. Pump disposal expenses, which include retirements of damaged pumps and reserves for missing pumps, increased by $0.2 million during the third quarter of 2023 compared to the prior year period. The unfavorable gross margin mix was mainly related to the increase in revenue related to NPWT equipment leases, which have a lower average gross margin than other Patient Services revenue categories.

Device Solutions gross profit during the third quarter of 2023 was $4.4 million, representing a decrease of $0.4 million, or 8.5%, compared to the prior year period. This decrease was due to a decrease in gross margin partially offset by higher net revenue. The Device Solutions gross margin was 34.9% during the current quarter, which was 13.7% lower than the prior year. This decrease was due to an increase in labor costs related to an increase in the number of biomedical technicians and other expenses associated with the rapid on-boarding of the master services agreement described above. Some of the additional labor costs include training activities and other labor expenses associated with building a larger team in order to have the capacity required to support much higher planned revenue volume. Over time, higher revenue levels are expected to absorb a portion of the increased labor costs and result in an improved gross margin. Other increased expenses associated with the on-boarding ramp, which include increased travel expenses and employee acquisitions costs, are expected to decrease in the future. We currently estimate that the additional expenses incurred during the third quarter of 2023 that will either be absorbed or reduced totaled approximately $1.2 million.

Selling and marketing expenses were $2.7 million for the third quarter of 2023, representing a decrease of $0.2 million, or 5.7%, compared to the prior year period. Selling and marketing expenses as a percentage of net revenues decreased to 8.5% compared to 10.6% in the prior year period. This decrease reflected a reduction in sales team members and improved coverage of fixed costs from higher net revenues.

General and administrative ("G&A") expenses for the third quarter of 2023 were $11.7 million, a decrease of 0.2% from $11.8 million for the third quarter of 2022. G&A expenses as a percentage of net revenues for the third quarter of 2023 decreased to 36.8% compared to 43.1% for the prior year period, mainly reflecting improved net revenue leverage over fixed costs.

Net income for the third quarter of 2023 was $0.7 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, compared to net income of $0.4 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2022.

Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, for the third quarter of 2023 was $6.2 million, or 19.5% of net revenue, and increased by $0.6 million, or 10.9%, compared to Adjusted EBITDA for the same prior year quarter of $5.6 million, or 20.5% of prior period net revenue.

Balance sheet, cash flows and liquidity

During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2023, operating cash flow decreased to $6.6 million, a $6.4 million or 49% decrease over operating cash flow during the same prior year nine-month period. The decrease reflected lower operating margins during the period, resulting from the additional biomedical labor expenses and higher working capital levels related to the increase in net revenues. Capital expenditures during the nine-month period of 2023 included purchases of medical devices totaling $8.5 million, which was $1.9 million, or 19%, lower than the amount purchased during the same prior year period.

On April 26, 2023, the Company amended its 2021 Credit Agreement, which, as amended, features a $75 million revolving line of credit, does not include any term indebtedness, and matures on April 26, 2028. On May 11, 2023, the Company entered into a rate swap agreement to fix the amount of interest expense for $20 million of the outstanding borrowings under the loans with a termination date matching the new credit agreement maturity date. Two interest rate swaps existing prior to the amendment date were settled. As of September 30, 2023, available liquidity for the Company totaled $41.8 million and consisted of $41.6 million in available borrowing capacity under the revolving line of credit plus cash and cash equivalents of $0.2 million. Net debt, a non-GAAP measure (calculated as total debt of $32.7 million less cash and cash equivalents of $0.2 million) as of September 30, 2023 was $32.5 million representing a decrease of $0.5 million compared to net debt of $33.0 million as of December 31, 2022 (calculated as total debt of $33.2 million less cash and cash equivalents of $0.2 million). Our ratio of Adjusted EBITDA to net debt (non-GAAP) for the last four quarters was 1.50 to 1.00 (calculated as net debt of $32.5 million divided by Adjusted EBITDA of $21.7 million).

Non-GAAP Measures

This press release contains information prepared in conformity with GAAP as well as non-GAAP financial information. Non-GAAP financial measures presented in this press release include EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, net debt and Adjusted EBITDA to net debt ratio. The Company believes that the non-GAAP financial measures presented in this press release provide useful information to the Company's management, investors and other interested parties about the Company's operating performance because they allow them to understand and compare the Company's operating results during the current periods to the prior year periods in a more consistent manner. This non-GAAP information should be considered by the reader in addition to, but not instead of, the financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP, and similarly titled non-GAAP measures may be calculated differently by other companies. The Company calculates those non-GAAP measures by adjusting for non-recurring or non-core items that are not part of the normal course of business. A reconciliation of those measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures is provided in the accompanying schedule, titled "GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliation" below. Future period non-GAAP guidance includes adjustments for items not indicative of our core operations, which may include, without limitation, items included in the accompanying schedule below. Such adjustments may be affected by changes in ongoing assumptions and judgments, as well as non-core, nonrecurring, unusual or unanticipated changes, expenses or gains or other items that may not directly correlate to the underlying performance of our business operations. The exact amounts of these adjustments are not currently determinable but may be significant. It is therefore not practicable to provide the comparable GAAP measures or reconcile this non-GAAP guidance to the most comparable GAAP measures and, therefore, such comparable GAAP measures and reconciliations are excluded from this release in reliance upon applicable SEC staff guidance.
