CHESTER, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Repro Med Systems, Inc. dba KORU Medical Systems (NASDAQ: KRMD) ("KORU Medical" or the "Company"), a leading medical technology company focused on the development, manufacturing, and commercialization of innovative and easy-to-use specialty infusion solutions that improve quality of life for patients, today reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2021.

Recent Highlights:

• Achieved net revenue of $6.0 million, a 9% increase versus Q2 2021, marking the third consecutive quarter of positive sequential growth
• Received FDA 510(k) clearance for CSL Hizentra^® 20 ml prefilled syringe with the Freedom Edge^® Syringe Infusion System
• Appointed three leadership team hires and announced an external innovation collaboration
• Scheduled strategic plan update presentation on December 2, 2021

"Our strong third quarter top-line results reflect continued momentum in all areas of our business – core US and international, as well as our novel therapies pipeline," said Linda Tharby, KORU Medical's CEO. "I'm proud of the team's progress this quarter as we strengthen our foundation, continue to build the KORU Medical team, and increase our investment in innovation. We remain focused on continued execution of our strategy, which drives incremental growth and market expansion building on our leadership position in large volume subcutaneous home infusion and extending that position into new drug therapies."

Third Quarter 2021 Financial Results

Net revenue was $6.0 million, (0.7)% lower compared with $6.1 million in the prior-year period. Adjusting for net inventory stocking of $0.6 million last year, adjusted net revenue grew 9%, with growth in all areas of our business; domestic core driven by pumps, international driven by consumables and increased novel therapies revenues. Sequential quarterly net revenue growth was 9%, with domestic core growth of 10% driven by pumps and needle sets and growth in novel therapies revenue.

Gross margin was 57.9% for the third quarter of 2021, a decline from prior year of 64.8%. The majority of the decline was driven by delays in the transition to our secondary manufacturing source. We also recorded a reserve for in-process material scrap. This was partially offset by favorability in product mix. We are confident in our path to accelerate margin improvement in 2022.

Total operating expenses for the third quarter of 2021 were $4.8 million, compared to $3.6 million for the same period in 2020. The increase in operating expenses is due to increased spend in support of strategic initiatives including commercialization, regulatory filings, and research and development.

Net loss for the third quarter of 2021 was $1.1 million, or $(0.02) per diluted share, compared with net income of $0.2 million, or $0.01 per diluted share for the same period in 2020.

Early Order/Inventory Stocking. We have excluded the effect of an early order and COVID related inventory stocking in calculating our non-GAAP measure. We had an early order from our largest distributor in the three months ended September 30, 2020, which would have otherwise been placed in the three months ended December 31, 2020, as well as higher purchases in the six months ended June 30, 2020, that we believe would have normally been made in the second half of 2020, had it not been for the pandemic.

*Numbers presented are rounded to the nearest whole cent

Reorganization Charges. We have excluded the effect of reorganization charges in calculating our non-GAAP measures. We incurred significant expenses in connection with the departure and replacement of our chief executive officer and the recruiting of two new board members, which we would not have otherwise incurred in periods presented as part of our continuing operations.

Discontinued Product Expense. We have excluded the effect of expenses related to a discontinued product line in calculating our non-GAAP measures. We did not incur any related expense in 2021.

Litigation. We have excluded litigation expenses in calculating our non-GAAP measures. Litigation expenses in 2020 included professional fees associated with our litigation with EMED, which discontinued as a result of the settlement on May 20, 2020.

Manufacturing Initiative Expenses. We have excluded the effect of expenses related to creating manufacturing efficiencies, in calculating our non-GAAP measures. We incurred expenses in connection with these initiatives which we would not have otherwise incurred in periods presented as part of our continuing operations. We expect to incur related expenses for the next six to nine months.

Stock-based Compensation Expense. We have excluded the effect of stock-based compensation expense in calculating our non-GAAP measures. We record non-cash compensation expense related to grants of options for executives, employees and consultants, and grants of common stock to our board of directors and our CEO. Depending upon the size, timing and the terms of the grants, the non-cash compensation expense may vary significantly but will recur in future periods. Adjusted EBITDA for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 included stock-based compensation expense of $0.4 million related to the departure and replacement of our chief executive officer. This expense is the only amount included in Stock-based Compensation Expense in calculating Adjusted Diluted EPS.
