The earnings call highlighted strong growth in prefilled syringes, a strategic focus on expanding international markets, and a positive cash flow reinvestment plan. Although there were some delays and uncertainties, the company is mitigating these effectively. The Q&A section revealed optimism about future growth, particularly with new product launches and international expansion. Overall, the sentiment is positive, with potential for stock price appreciation given the strong business fundamentals and strategic initiatives.
Revenue Record revenues of $10.2 million in Q2 2025, representing 21% growth over the prior year period. Domestic core revenues were $7.1 million, a 15% increase over the prior year. International core business revenues were $2.2 million, representing growth of 34% over the prior year. Pharma Services and Clinical Trials revenues were $900,000, representing 42% growth over the prior year. Growth was driven by new patient starts, market share gains, expansion into new geographies, and clinical trial orders from a non-Ig partner.
Gross Margin Second quarter margins were 63.5%, representing a 150-basis point decline year-over-year. This decline was primarily driven by tariff impacts (90 basis points) and prior year favorable inventory revaluation adjustments (90 basis points). These were partially offset by volume efficiencies and improved Pharma Services and Clinical Trials margins.
Cash Usage Q2 cash usage was $600,000, driven by lower net losses resulting from higher revenues, sustained gross margins, and disciplined operating expense spending. Cash balance at the end of the quarter was $8.1 million. Cash usage for the first half of 2025 was $1.5 million, with expectations of neutral to positive cash usage in the second half of 2025.
Adjusted EBITDA Improved 101% to be slightly positive compared to a negative $1.3 million in the first half of 2024. This improvement was driven by higher revenues and disciplined capital allocation.
Adjusted Earnings Per Share $0.00 per share in the first half of 2025, compared to a loss of $0.02 per share in the same period last year.
Freedom system: Serves approximately 45,000 patients primarily on Ig therapy for chronic conditions. Cleared for use with all SCIg drugs on the market. Submitted a 510(k) for a rare disease biologic ahead of schedule.
Next-gen pump: Development is on track with 510(k) submission expected by Q4 2025 to Q1 2026. Will accommodate all available prefilled syringes and offer improved mobility and usability.
Phase I flow controller: Launched ahead of schedule in Q2 2025. Phase II submission expected by the first half of 2026.
International expansion: Achieved over 30% growth in international markets. Expanded into new geographies and initiated prefilled syringe market conversion in Europe.
Oncology pilot program: Initiated a U.S.-based oncology pilot program with over 50 patients enrolled at 6 infusion centers across 4 subcutaneous oncology drugs.
Revenue growth: Achieved a historic milestone of over $10 million in revenue for Q2 2025, representing over 20% growth.
Profitability trajectory: Cash usage reduced to $600,000 in Q2 2025. On track for positive cash flow from operations for the full year 2025.
New drug pipeline: Pipeline includes 10 drugs, with 5 expected to be commercialized by the end of 2026. Revised total addressable market for new drugs is approximately $1.8 billion.
Empaveli expanded indication: FDA approved expanded indication for Empaveli, representing approximately 100,000 annual infusions, with KORU's opportunity estimated at 20,000 infusions.
Tariff Impacts: The company experienced a 90 basis point decline in gross margins due to tariff impacts, which is expected to continue affecting margins in the second half of the year.
Supply Chain Inflationary Pressures: Ongoing inflationary pressures in the supply chain are contributing to gross margin pressures, particularly in international markets with lower average selling prices.
Regulatory Approvals: The company is awaiting regulatory clearance for its flow controller with a third Ig drug in Japan, expected in 2026, which could delay market entry and revenue realization.
International Market Challenges: Expansion into international markets is associated with lower average selling prices, which could impact overall revenue growth and profitability.
Inventory Reduction: An expected inventory reduction from a large U.S. distributor in Q3 could negatively impact revenue in the short term.
R&D and Capital Expenditures: Higher operating expenses in the second half of 2025, driven by R&D project work and capital expenditures, could strain cash flow and profitability.
Regulatory Delays: Delays in filing and clearance of new products, such as the next-gen pump and consumable sets, could impact the timeline for revenue growth and market expansion.
Revenue Guidance: The company raised its revenue guidance to $39.5 million to $40.5 million for 2025, representing 18% to 20% growth. This increase is driven by significant opportunities for further growth from prefilled conversions internationally, partially offset by an expected inventory reduction from a large distributor in the U.S. in Q3.
Gross Margin Guidance: Gross margins are expected to be in the range of 61% to 63% for the full year 2025. The second half of the year will see gross margin pressures due to a stronger mix of growth in international markets with lower average selling prices, supply chain inflationary pressures, and tariffs. Pricing and manufacturing efficiencies are expected to mitigate some of these impacts.
Cash Flow Guidance: The company expects to achieve positive cash flow from operations for the full year 2025, with cash usage for the second half expected to be neutral to positive. The year is projected to end with at least $8.1 million in cash.
Operating Expenses: Operating expenses, exclusive of stock compensation, are anticipated to be in the range of $26 million to $27 million for 2025, with higher spending in the second half driven by R&D project work.
Capital Expenditures: The company expects less than $2 million in investing activities and capital expenditures for new production lines in 2025.
Pipeline and Product Development: The company plans to file 510(k) submissions for three new drugs by Q1 2026. The next-generation pump development is on track, with a 510(k) submission expected by Q4 2025 to Q1 2026. The Phase II flow controller submission is expected by the first half of 2026, and a 510(k) for new consumable sets is planned for the second half of 2026.
International Expansion: The company is focusing on international expansion, particularly in prefilled syringe markets, with significant growth expected in the back half of 2025. Sales in Japan are anticipated in the second half of 2025, following the completion of pump and consumable registrations.
New Drug Pipeline: The pipeline includes five new drugs expected to be commercialized on the Freedom Infusion platform by the end of 2026, with 10 total pipeline drugs. Two drugs, deferoxamine and vancomycin, are expected to receive clearance by 2026, representing approximately $500,000 in incremental revenue next year. The FDA recently approved an expanded indication for Empaveli, representing approximately 20,000 annual infusions for KORU.
Long-Term Growth Vision: The company aims to sustain 20%+ growth through investments in core, international, and new product and drug pipeline initiatives. The revised total addressable market for new drugs is approximately $1.8 billion.
