Total net revenues increased $1.4 million, or 17.5%, to $9.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to $8.2 million in the prior year period. Domestic core revenues were $6.9 million, an increase of 16.4% over the prior year period, primarily due to higher pump and consumable volumes, driven by new patient starts and market share gains within new and existing accounts, supported by a strong underlying SCIg market. International core revenues were $2.4 million, an increase of 35.6% over the prior year period, primarily due to higher pump and consumable volumes, driven by geographical expansion and a tender win with an Ig pharma partner. International growth was impacted by approximately $0.4 million of distributor stocking to support expansion, compared to $0.3 million of distributor stocking in the prior year as a result of the BSI regulatory review process. Pharma services and clinical trials net revenues were $0.3 million, a decrease of 38.6% over the prior year period, primarily due to lower clinical trial revenue.

Gross profit increased $0.9 million, or 18.5%, to $6.0 million in the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to $5.1 million in the prior year period. Gross margin increased to 62.8% in the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to 62.3% in the prior year period. The increase in gross margin was primarily driven by favorable changes in product revenue mix.

Total operating expenses for the first quarter of 2025 were $7.3 million, an increase of $0.2 million, or 3.2%, over the prior year period driven by increases in compensation-related expenses for temporary staff to support product development and legal fees, partially offset by lower severance and research and development expenses.

Net loss decreased $0.8 million in the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to the prior year period, primarily driven by an increase in gross profit of $0.9 million, driven by increased revenues, partially offset by operating expense increases of $0.2 million.

Adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter of 2025 was ($0.2) million, or ($0.00) per diluted share, compared to adjusted EBITDA of ($0.9) million, or ($0.02) per diluted share, for the for the prior year period. A reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA and adjusted diluted EPS is provided at the end of this press release.

Cash and cash equivalents were $8.7 million as of March 31, 2025, reflecting cash usage of $0.8 million in the first quarter of 2025.

2025 Guidance

  • Raising full year 2025 net revenues guidance to $38.5 - $39.5, representing growth of 15% - 17% from prior range of $38.0 - $39.0 million
  • Reiterating full year 2025 gross margin guidance of 61% - 63%
  • Reiterating positive cash flow from operations for full year 2025

Non-GAAP Measures

This press release includes the non-GAAP financial measures “adjusted diluted EPS” and “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. 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 KORU Medical’s reported results and, therefore, should not be relied upon as the sole financial measures to evaluate the Company’s financial results. Non-GAAP financial measures are meant to supplement, and to be viewed in conjunction with, GAAP financial results. Reconciliations of the Company’s non-GAAP measures are included at the end of this press release.

Reorganization Charges. We have excluded the effect of reorganization charges in calculating our non-GAAP measures. In 2024 and 2025 we incurred severance expenses related to the reorganization of the leadership team, which we would not have otherwise incurred in periods presented as part of continuing operations.

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 expenses related to grants of options and restricted shares for executives, employees and consultants, and grants of shares to our board of directors. 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.

Litigation Expense. We have excluded the effect of litigation expense in calculating our non-GAAP measures. In the first quarter 2025 we incurred legal fees with respect to a claim filed by the Company alleging patent infringement, which we would not have otherwise incurred in the period presented as part of continuing operations.
