The earnings call presents a mixed picture. While there are positives like increased gross profit, improved margins, and reduced net debt, there are concerns about reduced revenue outlook and major contract adjustments. The Q&A revealed some optimism in AI and automation, but also highlighted uncertainties in revenue from biomedical services. The overall sentiment is balanced by strong operational cash flow and strategic focus on profitable segments, leading to a neutral prediction for stock price movement over the next two weeks.
Net Revenue $36.5 million, a $1.2 million or 3.3% increase year-over-year. The improvement was due to increased net revenue for the Patient Services segment, partially offset by lower revenue from Device Solutions.
Patient Services Net Revenue Increased by $1.6 million or 7.6%, driven by increased patient treatment volumes in Oncology and Wound Care.
Oncology Net Revenue Increased by nearly $700,000 or 3.6%, attributed to higher patient treatment volumes and a significant new contract with a large hospital system.
Wound Care Revenue Increased by 116% to $2 million, driven by volume increases in negative pressure wound therapy treatments, the Apollo acquisition, and first-time revenue for pneumatic compression devices.
Device Solutions Net Revenue Decreased by $400,000 or 2.9%, primarily due to lower revenue volume in biomedical services and a standout large equipment sale in the prior year.
Gross Profit $20.8 million, a $1.8 million or 9.3% increase year-over-year. Gross margin percentage increased by 3.1% to just over 57%, driven by improved labor efficiency, pricing in biomedical services, improved revenue mix, lower procurement costs, and lower pump disposal expenses.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses $17 million, a $1.2 million or 7.8% increase year-over-year, mainly due to ERP software upgrade expenses, additional headcount, and higher short-term incentive compensation.
Adjusted EBITDA $8.3 million, a $400,000 or 5.6% increase year-over-year, representing 22.8% of net revenue. The increase was despite a $500,000 rise in ERP project spending.
Operating Cash Flow (Year-to-Date) Over $17 million, a $4.8 million increase year-over-year, driven by higher adjusted EBITDA.
Net Capital Expenditures (Year-to-Date) $3.1 million, a significant decrease from $10 million in the prior year, reflecting reduced spending on infusion pumps.
Net Debt Decreased by $5.7 million during the quarter, despite $2.2 million spent on stock repurchases.
