Q4 FY 2024 Financial Highlights

• Net revenues increased 9.0% to a record $14.8 million in Q4 FY 2024, from $13.6 million in the fourth quarter of the prior fiscal year.
• Gross margin was 76.2% of revenue, compared to 76.8% in the fourth quarter of the prior fiscal year.
• Operating income increased by 56.3% to a record $2.3 million or 15.7% of revenue, compared with $1.5 million or 11.0% of revenue in the fourth quarter of the prior fiscal year.
• Net income was a record $1.8 million for the quarter, or $0.20 per diluted share, compared to $1.0 million, or $0.12 per diluted share in the fourth quarter of the prior fiscal year.
• Cash as of June 30, 2024, was $16.1 million.

FY 2024 Financial Highlights

• Net revenue increased 13.8% year over year to a record $54.7 million, from $48.1 million in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023 (“FY 2023”).
• Operating income totaled a record $6.6 million, a 64.2% increase compared to $4.0 million in FY 2023.

“I’m extremely pleased with the Electromed team’s performance in fiscal 2024, as we continued to drive double-digit top line growth coupled with strong operating leverage,” said Jim Cunniff, President, and Chief Executive Officer. “The end results were excellent, namely delivering record revenues, record operating income, and record earnings for the year, an impressive feat for any company. We again gained market share, driven largely by ongoing infrastructure investments across the commercial team, as well as ongoing market development initiatives to raise awareness of HFCWO therapy with physicians and clinics treating bronchiectasis patients. These results were achieved despite headwinds from the expiration of the CMS waiver that we benefited from in FY 2023. We will continue to make deliberate investments in our growth and believe Electromed is well-positioned to deliver similar outstanding results in fiscal 2025.”

Q4 FY 2024 Results

All amounts below are for the three months ended June 30, 2024, and compare to the three months ended June 30, 2023 (“Q4 FY 2023”) unless otherwise noted.

Net revenues grew 9.0% to $14.8 million, from $13.6 million in Q4 FY 2023.

Revenue in our direct homecare business increased year-over-year by 6.2% to $13.4 million, from $12.6 million. The increase in revenue was due to an increase in direct sales representatives, higher quality referrals, and efficiencies within our reimbursement department.

Gross profit increased to $11.3 million, or 76.2% of net revenues, from $10.5 million or 76.8% of net revenues in the prior fiscal year. The increase in gross profit in Q4 FY2024 was primarily due to increased revenues during the quarter. The decrease in gross margin rate compared to Q4 FY 2023 was primarily due to increased material costs and less favorable revenue mix across channels.

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses were $8.8 million representing an increase of $0.1 million, or 1.5%, compared to Q4 FY 2023. The increase in SG&A expense was primarily due to increases in share-based compensation, salaries, and incentive compensation.

Operating income for the quarter was $2.3 million, compared to $1.5 million in Q4 FY 2023. The increase in operating income was driven primarily by increased net revenues and gross profit.

Net income for the quarter was $1.8 million or $0.20 per diluted share, compared to $1.0 million, or $0.12 per diluted share, in Q4 FY 2023.

FY 2024 Summary

Net revenues for the full year grew 13.8% to $54.7 million, from $48.1 million in fiscal 2023.

Revenue in our direct homecare market increased year-over-year by 12.6% to $49.5 million, from $44.0 million. The increase in revenue was due to an increase in direct sales representatives, and efficiencies recognized within our reimbursement department because of recent investments made to streamline the claims process. Field sales force employees totaled 62 at year end, 53 of which were direct sales representatives. Homecare revenue per weighted average direct sales representative in FY 2024 was $967,000, slightly higher than Electromed’s annual target range of $850,000 to $950,000.

Revenue in our hospital market increased by $0.5 million, or 21.9%, in fiscal 2024 compared to fiscal 2023. Hospital revenue includes sales to hospitals, rental companies and other institutions. The increase was primarily due to an increase in sales representatives focused on the hospital market as well as increased capital and disposable demand.

Revenue in our homecare distributor market increased by $0.2 million, or 14.5%, in fiscal 2024 compared to fiscal 2023. The revenue increase in fiscal 2024 was due to increased demand from one of our primary homecare distribution partners. We sell to a limited number of home medical equipment distributors, who in turn sell our SmartVest System in the U.S. homecare market.

Gross profit increased to $41.7 million in fiscal 2024, or 76.3% of net revenues, from $36.5 million or 76.0% of net revenues, in fiscal 2023. The increase in gross profit was primarily related to increased revenue, decreased shipping expenses and increased material costs in the prior year to expedite purchases which did not recur in the current year.

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses were $34.5 million in fiscal 2024, representing an increase of $2.9 million or 9.2% from $31.6 million in fiscal 2023. The increase in SG&A expenses was primarily related to increases in share-based compensation, salaries, and incentive compensation related to the higher average number of sales, sales support, marketing, and reimbursement personnel to process higher patient referrals.

Operating income for fiscal 2024 was $6.6 million compared to $4.0 million in fiscal 2023. The increase in operating income was driven primarily by increased net revenues and gross profit.

Net income for fiscal 2024 was $5.2 million, or $0.58 per diluted share, compared to net income of $3.2 million, or $0.36 per diluted share, in fiscal 2023.

As of June 30, 2024, Electromed had $16.1 million in cash, $23.3 million in accounts receivable and no debt, achieving working capital of $36.5 million, and total shareholders’ equity of $44.5 million.
