Operating Expenses Increase: Operating expenses increased to $49.9 million in 2024 from $45.4 million in 2023, reflecting rising costs in sales and marketing as well as R&D, which could impact future profitability.
Net Income Decline Analysis: The reduction in net income in Q4 2024 compared to Q4 2023 was attributed to increased financial expenses related to the revaluation of contingent consideration, indicating potential volatility in future earnings.
Product Reliance Concerns: The company’s reliance on a few key products, such as KEDRAB, which had a minimum commitment of $135 million for the next three years, raises concerns about revenue stability if demand fluctuates.
EBITDA Growth Sustainability Concerns: The adjusted EBITDA growth of 42% in 2024, while impressive, may not be sustainable if operating expenses continue to rise at a similar rate, potentially squeezing margins in the future.
