Electromed, Inc. Announces Fiscal 2024 First Quarter Financial Results

NEW PRAGUE, Minn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Electromed, Inc. (“Electromed” or the “Company”) (NYSE American: ELMD), a leader in innovative airway clearance technologies, today announced financial results for the three months ended September 30, 2023 (“Q1 FY 2024”).

Q1 FY 2024 Financial Highlights

  • Net revenue increased 16% to $12.3 million in Q1 FY 2024, from $10.7 million in the first quarter of the prior fiscal year.
  • Operating income was $142,000, compared with $44,000 in the first quarter of the prior fiscal year.
  • Net income was $155,000 for the quarter, or $0.02 per diluted share, compared to $81,000, or $0.01 per diluted share in the first quarter of the prior fiscal year.

“The first quarter of our fiscal year ending June 30, 2024 was another strong quarter for Electromed, as our team performed at a high level in pursuit of our multiple strategic growth initiatives, including continued expansion of our sales team and ongoing launch of the new Clearway system,” said Jim Cunniff, President and Chief Executive Officer. “We generated strong revenue growth versus the prior year across all three revenue categories, homecare, hospital and international. The team seamlessly executed the reorganization of the reimbursement team for improved efficiency, more meaningful service metrics and service improvements for a frictionless clinical experience. We also launched an improved way of gathering, tracking and reporting patient quality of life feedback documentation to physicians. I am proud of the team for an impressive start to fiscal year 2024 and look forward to building on this momentum in the remainder of the fiscal year.”

Q1 FY 2024 Results

Net revenue for Q1 FY 2024 grew 16% over the first quarter of our fiscal year ended June 30, 2023 (“fiscal 2023”) to $12.3 million, from $10.7 million in the same period in fiscal 2023. The increase was primarily due to an increase in referrals, approvals and reimbursement rates.

Revenue in our direct homecare business increased year-over-year by 15.8% to $11.2 million, from $9.6 million in the same period in fiscal 2023. The increase in referrals was due to an increase in direct sales representatives. Field sales force employees totaled 59 at quarter end, 51 of which were direct sales representatives. The annualized homecare revenue per weighted average direct sales representative in Q1 was $876,000, within Electromed’s annual target range of $850,000 to $950,000.

Gross profit increased to $9,498,000, or 77.1% of net revenues for Q1 FY 2024, from $8,331,000 or 78.2% of net revenues, in the same period in fiscal 2023. The increase in gross profit dollars in fiscal 2024 was primarily due to increased revenue. Gross margin rate decreased year over year as a result of increased material and labor costs.

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses were $9,150,000 for Q1 FY 2024, representing an increase of $1,161,000 or 14.5%, compared to the same period in fiscal 2023. The increase in SG&A expense was primarily due to increased payroll and compensation expense related to the higher average number of sales, sales support, marketing, and reimbursement personnel to process higher patient referrals.

Operating income for the quarter was $142,000, compared to $44,000 for the same period in the prior fiscal year. The increase in operating income was driven primarily by increased revenue.

Net income for Q1 FY 2024 was $155,000, or $0.02 per diluted share, compared to $81,000, or $0.01 per diluted share, for the same period in the prior fiscal year.

As of September 30, 2023, Electromed had $7.0 million in cash, $23.5 million in accounts receivable and no debt, achieving a working capital of $30.4 million and an increase in total shareholders’ equity of $0.6 million to $38.2 million. The cash balance reflects a decrease of $0.4 million compared to a decrease in cash of $2.2 million in the same period in the prior fiscal year. The decrease primarily resulted from payment of annual incentive compensation which is not expected to occur in the remaining quarters.
