KORU Medical Systems Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2020 Financial Results

CHESTER, N.Y.--()--Repro Med Systems, Inc. dba KORU Medical Systems (NASDAQ: KRMD) ("KORU Medical" or the "Company") a leading medical technology company focused on the development, manufacturing, and commercialization of innovative and easy-to-use specialty infusion solutions that improve quality of life for patients, today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2020.

2020 Full Year Financial Highlights:

  • Net revenue of $24.2 million
  • Gross margin of 62%
  • Net loss of $1.2 million
  • Ended the year with $27.3 million in cash and cash equivalents

Q4 2020 Financial Highlights:

  • Net revenue of $4.1 million
  • Gross margin of 57%
  • Net loss of $0.8 million

"Like many companies in the healthcare sector, 2020 was a challenging year for KORU Medical," said Jim Beck, Interim Chief Executive Officer. "Despite these challenges, we made progress on many fronts and our employees have remained steadfast in their commitment to improving patients' lives through the use of our specialty infusion solutions. As we move into 2021, our Company remains focused on executing our long-term strategies to drive growth and expand the market for subcutaneous infusions for life-saving therapies. We are excited about our new CEO and are confident that under Linda Tharby's direction, KORU Medical is well positioned for our next phase of growth."

2020 Full Year Financial Results

Net sales were $24.2 million for 2020, a 4.4% increase from $23.2 million in 2019. Growth was primarily driven by an increase in product sales volume and higher novel therapies sales of $0.9 million, offset by higher allowances which include (i) rebates resulting from the net impact of pricing increases at our largest distributor in the second half of 2019, and (ii) pricing decreases and growth rebates to secure our contractual position with several large customers in 2020. Further increasing allowances were payment discounts and distribution fees at our largest distributor under new contract terms entered into the fourth quarter of 2019.

Gross margin was 62% in 2020 compared to 64% in 2019. The decrease was primarily driven by the higher allowances as described above.

Total operating expenses increased 13% to $16.2 million in 2020 compared to $14.3 million in 2019. The increase was primarily driven by salary and related benefits and consulting fees related to marketing, regulatory and strategic initiatives, partially offset by lower trade show and travel expenses due to COVID-19 related travel restrictions and lower legal fees.

Net loss was $1.2 million in 2020, which includes the non-cash settlement expense of $2.2 million, compared to net income of $0.6 million in 2019.

Adjusted EBITDA for 2020 was $3.7 million compared to $6.2 million in 2019.

Our inventory position grew from $2.4 million at December 31, 2019 to $6.8 million at December 31, 2020 mostly to ensure timely order fulfillment as we transition manufacturing of our needle sets and tubing products for supply continuity to Command Medical Products, Inc. As the transition is completed this inventory is expected to convert to a source of cash in the future

Cash and cash equivalents were $27.3 million as of December 31, 2020.

Q4 2020 Financial Results

Net sales were $4.1 million for Q4 2020, a 34.8% decrease from $6.2 million in Q4 2019. Net sales were down primarily due to inventory in the channel from the precautionary buying related to COVID-19 in the first half of the year and the large early order placed in the third quarter of 2020, as well as lower international sales and novel therapies sales, which currently includes clinical trial sales. Higher allowances also contributed to lower net sales in the quarter.

Gross margin was 57% in Q4 2020 compared to 63% in Q4 2019, primarily driven by lower net sales for reasons described above.

Total operating expenses decreased 15.7% to $3.5 million in Q4 2020 compared to $4.1 million in Q4 2019. The decrease was primarily due to lower litigation expense and lower bonus accrual, partially offset by consulting for sustainability and strategic initiatives.

Net loss was $0.8 million in Q4 2020, compared to a net loss of $0.1 million in Q4 2019.

Adjusted EBITDA for Q4 2020 was ($0.3) million compared to $1.5 million in Q4 2019.

Financial Guidance

While KORU Medical Systems does not intend to provide quarterly guidance in the future, and given the timing of its release in the quarter, the Company expects net sales for the first quarter of 2021 to be at least $5.0 million.
