(NASDAQ: KRMD) ("KORU Medical" or the "Company"), a leading medical technology company focused on development, manufacturing, and commercialization of innovative and patient-centric large volume subcutaneous infusion solutions, today reported financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2025. Recent Highlights "We are off to a strong start this year, with over 20% growth in our core business driven by new patient starts and continued market share gains both domestically and internationally, all contributing to the expansion of our recurring revenue base," said Linda Tharby, President and CEO of KORU Medical. "We are also advancing our novel therapies pipeline and announcing plans to submit two previously commercialized drugs for 510(k) clearance with the Freedom Infusion system by year-end. Despite a challenging macroeconomic backdrop, the positive momentum in our business gives us confidence in our ability to deliver through the remainder of the year, and we are raising our full-year revenue guidance accordingly." Total net revenues increased $1.4 million, or 17.5%, to $9.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to $8.2 million in the prior year period. Domestic core revenues were $6.9 million, an increase of 16.4% over the prior year period, primarily due to higher pump and consumable volumes, driven by new patient starts and market share gains within new and existing accounts, supported by a strong underlying SCIg market. International core revenues were $2.4 million, an increase of 35.6% over the prior year period, primarily due to higher pump and consumable volumes, driven by geographical expansion and a tender win with an Ig pharma partner. International growth was impacted by approximately $0.4 million of distributor stocking to support expansion, compared to $0.3 million of distributor stocking in the prior year as a result of the BSI regulatory review process. Pharma services and clinical trials net revenues were $0.3 million, a decrease of 38.6% over the prior year period, primarily due to lower clinical trial revenue. Gross profit increased $0.9 million, or 18.5%, to $6.0 million in the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to $5.1 million in the prior year period. Gross margin increased to 62.8% in the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to 62.3% in the prior year period. The increase in gross margin was primarily driven by favorable changes in product revenue mix. Total operating expenses for the first quarter of 2025 were $7.3 million, an increase of $0.2 million, or 3.2%, over the prior year period driven by increases in compensation-related expenses for temporary staff to support product development and legal fees, partially offset by lower severance and research and development expenses. Net loss decreased $0.8 million in the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to the prior year period, primarily driven by an increase in gross profit of $0.9 million, driven by increased revenues, partially offset by operating expense increases of $0.2 million. Adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter of 2025 was ($0.2) million, or ($0.00) per diluted share, compared to adjusted EBITDA of ($0.9) million, or ($0.02) per diluted share, for the for the prior year period.
