KORU Medical Systems Announces 2020 Second Quarter Financial Results

Record Net Sales of $7.7 Million, Gross Margin of 64%

CHESTER, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Repro Med Systems, Inc. dba KORU Medical Systems (NASDAQ: KRMD) (“KORU Medical” or the “Company”) today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2020 (“Q2 2020”).

“We reported a strong Q2 2020, highlighted by a quarterly net sales record of $7.7 million,” said Don Pettigrew, President and CEO. “During the second quarter, we completed a successful public offering, settled our outstanding litigation with our competitor, were added to the broad market Russell 3000® Index, the Russell 2000® Index, and Russell Microcap® Index, and continued to execute against our long-term growth objectives, including success with our strategy to broaden our pharmaceutical industry relationships and pursue clinical trial opportunities. I am extremely proud of the entire KORU Medical team for navigating us through the COVID-19 pandemic and embracing their designation as essential workers supporting the thousands of chronically ill patients who rely on our products.

“We believe that the awareness and diagnosis of Primary Immunodeficiency Diseases and Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy - our primary end markets - is continuing to increase. We believe that COVID-19-related health concerns are driving the ongoing shift from hospital and clinic-based IVIg treatments to home-based subcutaneous Ig therapy, and that the acceleration of this trend is supporting the adoption of KORU Medical’s mechanical, easy-to-use Freedom Integrated Infusion System which allows patients with immune diseases and other chronic conditions to self-administer their Ig drug therapy at home. The growing preference for at-home treatment is also, in our view, encouraging pharmaceutical companies to continue to develop subcutaneous Ig therapies and new drugs that can be administered at home.”

Q2 2020 Overview

Net sales increased 44.1% to $7.7 million in Q2 2020 from $5.3 million in last year’s second quarter, with growth in all product categories (pumps, needle sets, and tubing). We believe this growth was primarily driven by continued demand increases that included clinical trials, as well as increased purchasing to support the trend towards at-home infusion therapy and in response to the uncertainties created by COVID-19.

Gross profit in Q2 2020 rose 41.3% to $4.9 million from $3.5 million in Q2 2019, primarily due to increased sales volume. Gross margin was 63.7% in Q2 2020 as compared to 65.0% in Q2 2019, mostly due to an increase in overtime costs related to COVID-19 absenteeism. Gross margin was 65.4% when adjusted for overtime.

Selling, general & administrative expenses were $3.2 million, or 41.5% of net sales, compared to $2.1 million, or 38.3% of net sales in Q2 2019. The increase was due primarily to the impact of new hires in the second half of last year, severance, a bonus for employee service during the COVID-19 pandemic, increased consulting, distributor fees and other miscellaneous administrative costs, partially offset by lower trade show and travel expenses due to COVID-19 related travel restrictions.

Higher litigation costs in Q2 2020 consisted of a $2.2 million non-cash, stock-based expense associated with the negotiation of and entry into a litigation settlement agreement with a competitor in May 2020. The Company expects expenses related to the competitor litigation will discontinue because of the settlement. Litigation expenses in Q2 2019 were $1.1 million, attributable to the competitor litigation.

Net loss for Q2 2020 was $(1.1) million, or $(0.03) per share, and included the one-time, non-cash litigation settlement expense of $2.2 million. Net income in Q2 2019 was $0.1 million, or $0.00 per share.

Q2 2020 Adjusted EBITDA rose 18.1% to $1.8 million from Adjusted EBITDA of $1.5 million in Q2 2019. Adjusted EBITDA excludes from net income: tax expense, depreciation and amortization, interest income, net, discontinued product expense, litigation costs that consisted of a $2.2 million non-cash, stock-based settlement expense, manufacturing initiative expenses, and stock option expense.

Balance Sheet, Liquidity Initiatives and Credit

Cash and equivalents as of June 30, 2020 totaled $38.1 million, a $32.2 million increase from December 31, 2019. Substantially all of the increase was due to the $26.5 million of net proceeds from the recent capital raise and a $3.5 million draw against the Company’s line of credit.

“This fresh capital allows us to fund our growth initiatives, including commercial expansion, increased clinical trial participation, gross margin enhancement, and new product innovation,” concluded Mr. Pettigrew.

Non-GAAP Measures

This press release includes the non-GAAP financial measure of “Adjusted EBITDA” that is not in accordance with, nor an alternate to, generally accepted accounting principles and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. In addition, this non-GAAP measure is not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. They are limited in value because they exclude charges that have a material effect on our reported results and, therefore, should not be relied upon as the sole financial measures to evaluate our financial results. The non-GAAP financial measure is meant to supplement, and to be viewed in conjunction with, GAAP financial results. A reconciliation of our non-GAAP measure is included in an attachment to this press release.
