The earnings call indicates strong international revenue growth and positive cash flow. Despite domestic revenue decline, the company has raised its revenue guidance and aims for 20%+ growth. The Q&A section highlights high nurse satisfaction and workflow improvements, existing reimbursement codes, and strong international expansion plans. Gross margin pressures are acknowledged but are being addressed. Overall, the optimistic guidance, international expansion, and raised revenue forecast outweigh domestic challenges, suggesting a positive stock price movement.
Revenue Achieved second consecutive quarter with more than $10 million in revenue, representing 27% year-over-year growth. The growth was driven by the core subcutaneous immunoglobulin (SCIg) business, which grew 30% due to international expansion, global share gains, and strong patient growth.
Domestic Revenue Declined 5% year-over-year due to a U.S. distributor reducing on-hand inventory levels, which temporarily impacted order volume.
International Revenue Grew by 230% year-over-year, driven by outsized stocking orders to support strong demand for prefilled conversions in Europe and a distributor transaction that inflated international revenue figures.
Gross Profit Increased by 21% year-over-year. Gross margin was 60.2%, a decrease of 320 basis points from the prior year due to higher manufacturing costs, lower yields, geographical customer mix, and tariff impacts.
Cash Flow Generated positive cash flow of $400,000, driven by lower net losses, higher revenues, and disciplined operating expense spending.
Year-to-Date Revenue Grew 22% to $30.2 million compared to $24.8 million in the prior year first 3 quarters. Operating expenses increased by 3%, and net losses were reduced by 50% from $4.5 million to $2.2 million.
Adjusted EBITDA Achieved positive adjusted EBITDA with a 109% improvement year-over-year.

International market share: Increased from 10%-15% to 20% in the $60 million OUS SCIg market, with plans to grow to 40%.
Prefilled syringes in Europe: Majority of growth driven by conversions to prefilled syringes, simplifying administration and training.

Pharma collaborations: Seven active collaborations with major Ig manufacturers, driving share gains and geographic expansion.
Oncology market entry: Progressing towards a 510(k) submission for oncology infusion systems, targeting commercial entry in 2026.
Geographic Revenue Imbalance: The company experienced a geographic revenue imbalance due to domestic distributor inventory reductions, outsized international stocking orders, and cross-border distributor transactions. This created temporary distortions in revenue reporting and impacted domestic growth.
Manufacturing Costs and Margins: Higher manufacturing costs, lower yields, and tariff impacts led to a decrease in gross margins. While improvements are expected, the current cost structure poses a challenge to maintaining profitability.
Delayed Collaborations and Launches: Two previously announced collaborations had their launch dates pushed to 2027, and a rare disease candidate was delayed by one quarter due to FDA requests for additional testing data. These delays could impact the company's pipeline momentum and revenue projections.
Regulatory and Market Entry Risks: The company faces regulatory hurdles, including upcoming 510(k) submissions for oncology and other drugs. Delays or rejections could hinder market entry and growth in new therapeutic areas.
International Market Risks: While international growth is strong, it is heavily reliant on prefilled syringe conversions in Europe. Any disruptions in this trend or competitive pressures could impact growth projections.
Tariff and Supply Chain Challenges: Tariff impacts and supply chain dependencies, particularly in international markets, pose risks to cost management and operational efficiency.
Revenue Growth: Achieved second consecutive quarter with over $10 million in revenue, representing 27% year-over-year growth. Core SCIg business grew 30%, driven by international expansion, global share gains, and patient growth.
