Management Commentary

“In the fiscal first quarter of 2025, we achieved strong financial and operational progress as we continued to advance the rollout of our flagship product, Spryng with OsteoCushion™ Technology,” commented PetVivo CEO, John Lai. “Moreover, our success with expanding the adoption of Spryng by veterinarians is also improving the health and wellbeing of equine and companion animals nationwide.

Our revenue growth was driven largely by our expanding distributor network, with sales of Spryng by distributors more than doubling over the past year, and this continues to climb as we maintained our highly favorable gross margins at 89.5%.

Now after accumulating a strong body of independent research that reveals the benefits of Spryng for companion animals, we are focused on accelerating the market adoption of Spryng with a number of key hires. This has included restructuring and realigning our sales and marketing teams and strengthening their efforts with two key senior sales and marketing appointments of individuals with extraordinary records of achievement in executive roles at Fortune 500 companies.

These individuals include appointing former Hills Pet Nutrition, Novus International and Colgate-Palmolive senior sales and marketing executive, Bryan Monninger, to the position of VP of sales, and appointing former P&G sales and Clorox marketing executive, April Boyce, as VP of marketing. We believe our ability to attract such exceptionally capable and experienced sales and marketing professionals in such a competitive jobs market is a testament to the strength of our product offering and potential for strong growth ahead.

Furthermore, as demand continues to grow, we plan to add additional sales and marketing personnel to support our growing distribution relationships with market leaders, MWI and Covetrus, as well as directly to leading veterinary clinics nationwide.

There are also a few studies currently in progress. One is being conducted at Colorado State University, where researchers are evaluating the effectiveness of intra-articular Spryng injections for managing pain associated with naturally occurring elbow osteoarthritis in dogs. The accumulation of data was recently completed, and scientists and statisticians are currently analyzing the data and preparing the results for publication. We anticipate seeing a presentation of this study sometime in the first half of next year.

All studies performed on behalf of the Company will add to the body of clinical research that now totals more than five published studies to date. These studies are critical to our distribution strategy, as large national and international distributors typically require university or independently conducted studies before considering a new product for inclusion in their catalogs.

Such studies also support our go-to-market strategy by attracting endorsements from Key Opinion Leaders and increasing our chances of receiving additional invitations to present at animal health conferences and tradeshows.

Between our strengthening distributor network, benefit-confirming clinical studies, exceptional new key hires and more efficient operational structure, we believe we have set the stage for accelerated growth in revenues and shareholder value for the remainder of the year and beyond.

By far, we have never been in a better position to address the enormous opportunities we enjoy in the $5.7 billion U.S. animal health market, which is expected to double to $11.3 billion by 2030.“

Fiscal 2025 Revenue Outlook

For the fiscal full year of 2025, the company reiterated its outlook for net revenue of approximately $1.5 million to $2.0 million, which would represent growth of approximately 50% to 100% over the prior year.

Fiscal Q1 2025 Financial Summary

Revenues in the fiscal first quarter of 2025 increased 6% to $124,000, largely due to distribution channel expansion and broader adoption of the company’s lead veterinary medical device, Spryng with OsteoCushion technology.

Gross profit totaled $111,000 or 89.5% of revenues as compared to $105,000 or 89.5% of revenues in fiscal first quarter of 2024.

Operating expenses decreased 28% to $2.2 million compared to the fiscal first quarter of 2024. The expense reduction was due to a strategic company-wide cost reduction and restructuring program that decreased general and administrative expenses by $530,000 and sales and marketing expenses by $407,000 versus the same year-ago quarter. The decreases were partially offset by an increase in research and development of $94,000 due to additional clinical trials.

Net loss improved to $2.0 million or $(0.11) per basic and diluted share from a net loss of $2.9 million or $(0.25) per basic and diluted share in the same year-ago quarter.

Cash and cash equivalents totaled $12,000 at June 30, 2024. Subsequent to the first quarter-end, the company raised net proceeds of $1.21 million in July 2024, which keeps us in a good position to execute our growth plan over the next several months.

Net cash used in operating activities decreased 29% or $633,000 compared to fiscal first quarter of 2024.
