CHESTER, NY – November 5, 2019 – Repro Med Systems, Inc. dba KORU Medical Systems (NASDAQ: KRMD) (the “Company”) today announced financial results for the third quarter (“Q3 2019”) ended September 30, 2019.


“Our strong performance continued through Q3 2019,” said Don Pettigrew, President and CEO of KORU Medical Systems.  “Net sales increased over 45% from Q3 2018, representing the third consecutive quarter of record net sales, and gross margin improved to over 66%.  We continue to penetrate our primary disease state end markets, the growth of which we attribute to increasing awareness and diagnosis of PIDD and expanded therapeutic indications for CIDP.  Our Freedom Syringe Infusion System is also being utilized in multiple clinical trials associated with the development of new subcutaneous therapies, which is an important component of our long-term growth strategy.”


Mr. Pettigrew concluded, “We also completed two significant corporate developments: the listing of our common stock on NASDAQ effective October 17 and our corporate re-branding to KORU Medical Systems.  We believe that both developments reflect our continuing growth as a public company, and the new life and beginnings we provide to patients worldwide.”


Q3 2019 Overview


Net sales rose 45.5% to $6.6 million in Q3 2019 from $4.5 million in Q3 2018.  Growth was driven primarily by the Company’s continued success in expanding its presence in the Primary Immune Deficiency Disease (“PIDD”) and Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy (“CIDP”) markets, as well as large orders from a domestic distributor, a new customer in Europe, and clinical trials.  We cannot predict whether such large distributor orders or volume generally will continue in the future.


Gross profit in Q3 2019 rose to $4.4 million, or 66.2% of net sales, from $2.9 million, or 63.6% of net sales, in Q3 2018.  Higher gross profit and gross margin were primarily driven by increased net sales and price increases.




Total operating expenses for Q3 2019 rose to $3.6 million from $2.4 million in Q3 2018.  Selling, general & administrative (“SG&A”) expenses were $2.4 million, or 36.9% of net sales, compared to $1.9 million, or 42.2% of net sales in Q3 2018.  Litigation costs increased to $0.9 million from $0.3 million in Q3 2018.  The Company received its second consecutive favorable judgment in the litigation with EMED Technologies Corp. on August 30, 2019.  KORU Medical Systems has filed motions for reimbursement of court costs and attorneys’ fees subsequent to the receipt of both judgements.


Net income for Q3 2019 rose to $0.7 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, from net income of $0.4 million, or $0.01 per diluted share, in Q3 2018.


Q3 2019 Adjusted EBITDA rose to $2.1 million, or 31.5% of net sales, from Adjusted EBITDA of $1.1 million, or 24.3% of net sales, in Q3 2018.  Adjusted EBITDA excludes from net income: tax expense, depreciation and amortization, interest income, operating expenses associated with the company’s organizational changes prior to March 31, 2019, litigation costs, and stock option expense.


Cash and equivalents as of September 30, 2019 was $5.1 million.  Cash flow of $1.4 million for the first nine months of 2019 included a $2.1 million increase in accounts receivable reflecting a change in payment terms by a large distributor of our products from net 30 days to net 60 days, as well as a $0.6 million increase in inventory to commensurate with sales growth.  These increases were partially offset by $1.5 million in proceeds realized from the maturation of a Certificate of Deposit in Q2 2019 and $0.5 million associated with the exercise of warrants and options during the period.


Non-GAAP Measures


This press release includes the non-GAAP financial measures of “Adjusted EBITDA” that are 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, these non-GAAP measures are 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 measures are meant to supplement, and to be viewed in conjunction with, GAAP financial results. A reconciliation of our non-GAAP measures is included in an attachment to this press release.

Management will host a conference call on Wednesday, November 6, 2019 at 9:00 am ET to discuss Q3 2019 results and business activities.
