Insights

electroCore shows 23% revenue growth with strong VA channel and Truvaga sales, but increased losses amid strategic acquisition and mixed channel performance.

electroCore delivered $6.7 million in Q1 2025 revenue, representing a solid 23% year-over-year increase. Digging into the revenue mix reveals a tale of contrasting performance across channels. The company's primary revenue driver remains its Veterans Affairs (VA) business, which grew 22% to $4.7 million, while their Truvaga wellness products demonstrated exceptional growth of 187%, reaching $1.1 million. However, concerning declines appeared in their U.S. Commercial prescription business (-33%) and TAC-STIM product line (-70%).

The company maintained impressive gross margins at 85%, slightly improving from 84% year-over-year, indicating effective production cost management despite inflationary pressures. Operating expenses increased to $9.5 million from $8.4 million in Q1 2024, with management attributing approximately $665,000 to seasonal and non-recurring expenses including costs related to the NeuroMetrix acquisition.

Bottom-line performance showed a GAAP net loss of $3.9 million ($0.47 per share) compared to $3.5 million ($0.53 per share) in Q1 2024. The increased absolute loss but decreased per-share loss indicates share dilution has occurred. On an adjusted EBITDA basis, the company showed marginal improvement with a loss of $3.1 million versus $3.2 million previously.

The cash position declined to $8.0 million from $12.2 million at year-end 2024, representing significant cash utilization of $4.2 million in a single quarter. Management projects using $3.8-4.3 million over the next three quarters, suggesting they anticipate operational improvements.

The recently closed NeuroMetrix acquisition positions electroCore as a more significant player in non-invasive bioelectronic technology with a diversified product portfolio. However, initial Quell product revenue contribution was modest at $170,000. Management's full-year revenue guidance of approximately $30 million implies continued strong performance, with expectations that NeuroMetrix will contribute meaningfully by year-end.

First quarter 2025 net sales of $6.7 million, an increase of 23% over first quarter 2024

Closed the acquisition of NeuroMetrix, Inc. (“NeuroMetrix”); first quarter 2025 unaudited Quell net sales of approximately $170,000

ROCKAWAY, N.J., May 07, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- electroCore, Inc. (Nasdaq: ECOR) (“electroCore” or the “Company”), a commercial-stage bioelectronic technology company, today announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2025.

Recent Highlights

  • Reported first quarter 2025 revenue of $6.7 million, a 23% increase over first quarter 2024
  • Revenue excluding TAC-STIM totaled $6.6 million, reflecting 29% year-over-year growth
  • Announced the closing of the acquisition of NeuroMetrix, further expanding electroCore’s bioelectronic platform

“electroCore delivered continued growth in the first quarter, increasing total revenue 23% and growing total revenue excluding TAC-STIM by 29%,” commented Dan Goldberger, CEO of electroCore, Inc. “We maintained gross margins but incurred increased G&A expenses in the quarter due to typical seasonality related to the filing of our Annual Report on Form 10-K, severance expenses, and one time expenses related to the NeuroMetrix transaction, for a combined $665,000 in seasonal or other non-recurring expenses in the quarter. The revenue growth enabled us to further narrow our loss from operations and improve adjusted EBITDA. With the NeuroMetrix acquisition now closed, we are well-positioned as a significant player in non-invasive bioelectronic technology, addressing a larger opportunity with a more diversified product line.”

First Quarter 2025 Financial Results and Select Guidance

For the first quarter of 2025, electroCore’s net sales totaled $6.7 million compared to $5.4 million in the same period of 2024, a 23% year-over-year increase. The $1.3 million increase was driven primarily by higher sales of prescription (Rx) gammaCoreTM sold into United States Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), growth in international markets and continued traction with TruvagaTM wellness products. 

(in thousands)  Three months ended March 31,   % Change 
Channel  2025  2024    
Rx gammaCore™ – VA $4,721 $3,875  22% 
Rx gammaCore – U.S. Commercial  289  433  -33% 
Outside the United States  513  449  14% 
Truvaga™  1,106  385  187% 
Total Before TAC-STIM™  6,629  5,142  29% 
TAC-STIM  90  301  -70% 
Total Revenue $6,719 $5,443  23% 

 

Gross profit was $5.7 million, or 85% gross margin, as compared to $4.6 million, or 84% gross margin for the first quarter of 2024.

Total operating expenses were approximately $9.5 million as compared to $8.4 million in the first quarter of 2024.

Research and development expense was $642,000 as compared to $399,000 in the first quarter of 2024. This increase was primarily due to an increase in headcount and effects of discontinuing certain clinical trial activities in the first quarter of 2024 that did not repeat in the first quarter of 2025.

Selling, general and administrative expense was $8.9 million as compared to $8.0 million in the first quarter of 2024. This increase was primarily due to the greater investment in selling and marketing costs consistent with our increase in sales and an increase in separation costs associated with select headcount reductions.

GAAP net loss in the first quarter of 2025 was $3.9 million or a loss of $0.47 per share, compared to the $3.5 million net loss or a loss of $0.53 per share in the first quarter of 2024. The increase in GAAP net loss is primarily attributable to total other expense of $81,000 and a benefit from income tax of $48,000 as compared to total other income of $221,000 and a benefit from income tax of $122,000 for the first quarter of 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Adjusted EBITDA net loss in the first quarter of 2025 was $3.1 million as compared to adjusted EBITDA net loss of $3.2 million in the first quarter of 2024.

The Company defines adjusted EBITDA net loss as GAAP net loss, adjusting to exclude non-operating gains/losses, depreciation and amortization, stock-compensation expense, inventory reserve charges, non-recurring recruiting fees, severance and other related charges, legal fees associated with stockholders’ litigation, benefit from income taxes, and non-recurring transaction charges associated with the acquisition of NeuroMetrix, or other one-time charges. A reconciliation of GAAP net loss to non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA net loss is provided in the financial statement table below.

Cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and marketable securities at March 31, 2025 totaled approximately $8.0 million, as compared to approximately $12.2 million as of December 31, 2024.

Full Year 2025 Outlook

The Company is today providing preliminary guidance for the full year of 2025. For the full year of 2025, we expect total revenue to be approximately $30.0 million and net cash used for the next three quarters to be between $3.8 and $4.3 million with NeuroMetrix providing meaningful revenue by the year ending December 2025.

(Unaudited) Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measure

The Company is presenting adjusted EBITDA net loss because it believes this measure is a useful indicator of its operating performance. Management uses this non-GAAP measure principally as a measure of the Company’s core operating performance and believes that this measure is useful to investors because it is frequently used by the financial community, investors, and other interested parties to evaluate companies in the Company’s industry. The Company also believes that this measure is useful to its management and investors as a measure of comparative operating performance from period to period. Additionally, the Company believes its use of non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA net loss from operations facilitates management’s internal comparisons to historical operating results by factoring out potential differences caused by gains and charges not related to its regular, ongoing business, including, without limitation, non-cash charges and certain large and unpredictable charges such as restructuring expenses.

The Company defines adjusted EBITDA net loss as GAAP net loss, adjusting to exclude non-operating gains/losses, depreciation and amortization, stock-compensation expense, inventory reserve charges, non-recurring recruiting fees, severance and other related charges, legal fees associated with stockholders’ litigation, benefit from income taxes, and non-recurring transaction charges associated with the acquisition of NeuroMetrix or other one-time charges. A reconciliation of GAAP net loss to non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA net loss is provided in the financial statement table below.

The Company’s use of a non-GAAP measure has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of its results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are: (i) the non-GAAP measure does not reflect interest or tax payments that may represent a reduction in cash available; (ii) although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized may have to be replaced in the future, and the non-GAAP measure does not reflect cash capital expenditure requirements for such replacements or for new capital expenditure requirements; (iii) the non-GAAP measure does not reflect the potentially dilutive impact of equity-based compensation; and (iv) the non-GAAP measure does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for working capital needs; other companies, including companies in electroCore’s industry, may calculate adjusted EBITDA net loss differently, effectively reducing its usefulness as a comparative measure.

Because of these and other limitations, you should consider the non-GAAP measure together with other GAAP-based financial performance measures, including various cash flow metrics, net loss, and other GAAP results. A reconciliation of GAAP net loss to non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA net loss has been provided in the preceding financial statements table of this press release.
