Vent Revenue Vent revenue was up 5% sequentially and up 11% year-over-year. This steady, reliable growth reinforces the strength of our core business.
Sleep Therapy Patients Sleep therapy patients were up 15% sequentially and 51% year-over-year. New patient setups were up an incredible 72% year-over-year. Growth attributed to aggressive expansion with 8 new sleep areas launched since the beginning of the year.
Resupply Program Patients in the resupply program were up 10% sequentially and 25% year-over-year. Growth driven by rapid growth of new patient starts and patients transferring from competitors.
Staffing Business Staffing business was up year-over-year but experienced a sequential slowdown during the second quarter due to softened labor demand. This business has seen significant growth over the past 2 years.
Gross Margin Gross margin was 58.3% for the quarter compared with 59.8% for the second quarter of 2024 and 56.3% in the first quarter of '25. The year-over-year decline was due to the reduced percentage of vent business in overall revenue, while sequential improvement was driven by growth in the sleep business.
Adjusted EBITDA Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter grew 12% year-over-year to $14.3 million, driven by strong organic growth and contributions from each of the businesses. Adjusted EBITDA margin for the quarter was 22.7%, compared with 23.3% a year ago.
SG&A as Percentage of Revenue SG&A was 45.7% of revenue in the quarter, a 250 basis point improvement year-over-year. Improvement attributed to favorable product mix and sustained operational efficiencies.
Year-over-Year Revenue Growth Year-over-year revenue increased 14.7%, entirely driven by organic growth.

Ventilator exchange program: Completion of the program, normalizing CapEx and extending the life of the vent fleet.

Staffing Business Slowdown: The staffing business experienced a sequential slowdown in the second quarter due to softened labor demand, which could impact revenue growth and operational capacity.
Regulatory Reporting Requirements: The new NCD requires documentation and reporting of patient usage metrics, which could increase operational complexity and compliance costs.
Competitive Bidding for DME: The potential return of competitive bidding for durable medical equipment (DME) could create pricing pressures and operational challenges, though it is not expected to take effect until 2027 or later.
Gross Margin Decline: Gross margin declined year-over-year due to a shift in revenue mix towards CapEx-light businesses, which could impact profitability metrics.
Tariff Uncertainty: Although tariffs have not yet had a material impact, ongoing trade policy changes could pose risks to supplier costs and pricing stability.
Revenue Growth: The company has raised its full-year 2025 net revenue guidance to a range of $271 million to $277 million, implying 22% growth over 2024 at the midpoint. Organic sequential revenue growth in Q3 through Q4 is expected to be in a range of 5% to 9%.
Adjusted EBITDA: The adjusted EBITDA range for the full year 2025 has been raised to $59 million to $62 million, implying 18% growth over 2024 at the midpoint. Adjusted EBITDA margin is expected to be approximately 22%.
CapEx Normalization: With the completion of the ventilator exchange program, CapEx is expected to normalize for the remainder of the year, leading to improved adjusted free cash flow sequentially through the balance of the year.
Lehan's Acquisition Impact: The inclusion of Lehan's Medical Equipment is expected to contribute to revenue growth in the second half of 2025 and beyond, diversifying the company's patient base and expanding its addressable market into maternal health.
Sleep and Resupply Growth: The sleep business is the fastest-growing segment, with sleep therapy patients up 15% sequentially and 51% year-over-year. Resupply program patients grew 10% sequentially and 25% year-over-year. Strong growth in these segments is expected to continue in the back half of 2025 and beyond.
Competitive Bidding and Regulatory Environment: The potential return of competitive bidding for DME is being discussed, with the earliest implementation expected in 2027 or later. The company is well-positioned to navigate this environment. The new NCD final rule is seen as a major opportunity, reducing operational burdens and potentially leading to industry consolidation.
Share Repurchase Program: In early June, the Board authorized the repurchase of up to 5% of outstanding common stock. By June 30, approximately 270,000 shares were repurchased and subsequently canceled at a total cost of $1.8 million.
