Q3 FY 2024 Results

All amounts below are for the three months ended March 31, 2024, and compare to the three months ended March 31, 2023 (“Q3 FY 2023”) unless otherwise noted.

Net revenues grew 14.9% to $13.9 million, from $12.1 million in Q3 FY 2023.

Revenue in our direct homecare business increased year-over-year by 12.0% to $12.3 million, from $11.0 million. The increase in revenue was due to an increase in sales representatives and efficiencies recognized within our reimbursement department as a result of recent investments made to streamline the claims process. 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 Q3 FY 2024 was $969,000, slightly higher than Electromed’s annual target range of $850,000 to $950,000.

Gross profit increased to $10,382,000, or 74.8% of net revenues from $9,056,000 or 75.0% of net revenues in the prior fiscal year. The increase in gross profit in Q3 FY2024 was primarily due to increased net revenues. The decrease in gross margin compared to Q3 FY 2023 was primarily due to costs associated with the wind down of our previous generator models.

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses were $8,374,000 representing an increase of $680,000, or 8.8%, compared to Q3 FY 2023. The increase in SG&A expense was primarily due to increased share-based compensation expense and payroll expense related to the higher average number of sales, sales support, marketing, and reimbursement personnel to process an increased volume of patient referrals.

Operating income for the quarter was $1,841,000, compared to $1,196,000 in Q3 FY 2023. The increase in operating income was driven primarily by increased net revenues.

Net income for the quarter was $1,493,000, or $0.17 per diluted share, compared to $1,075,000, or $0.12 per diluted share in Q3 FY 2023.

As of March 31, 2024, Electromed had $11.7 million in cash, $23.9 million in accounts receivable and no debt, achieving working capital of $35.0 million, and total shareholders’ equity of $42.6 million. The cash balance reflects an increase of $4.3 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2024, compared to a decrease in cash of $1.4 million in the nine months ended March 31, 2023. This increase in cash in the current year was driven by an increase in operating income and management of working capital.
