KORU Medical Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: KRMD) ("KORU Medical" or the "Company"), a leading medical technology company focused on development, manufacturing, and commercialization of innovative and patient-centric large volume subcutaneous infusion solutions, today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2023. The Company also issued guidance for the full year 2024.
Recent Highlights
“I am proud of the KORU team for delivering a solid end to 2023, led by performance in our Core business. Entry into multiple geographic markets drove international sales, and in the US, we hit a key milestone with the FDA clearance and launch of the 50mL prefill pump platform, which we anticipate will be a significant growth driver in 2024. Additionally, we saw double-digit growth in our end-user specialty pharmacy sales, reflective of share gains and a growing Ig market,” said Linda Tharby, KORU Medical's President and CEO. “Within our Novel Therapies business, we recently announced collaborations for two late-stage therapies. On the operational side, we increased gross margins, were cash flow positive in the fourth quarter and finished the year with a significantly lower cash burn than the prior year. We are excited by the momentum we are carrying into 2024; we remain focused on the execution of our Vision 2026 strategy, and positioning KORU for growth, profitability and value creation for our customers and shareholders.”

Total net revenues decreased $0.2 million, or 2.2%, for the three months ended December 31, 2023, as compared with the same period last year. Domestic Core net revenues increased by 4.7% year-over-year, driven by growth in pumps and consumables, due to competitive share gain in new accounts. International Core net revenues increased by 7.7%, driven by strong SCIg volume and growth in several OUS geographies as we continue to expand into new markets. Novel Therapies net revenues declined by 62% year-over-year, primarily driven by the completion of a large milestone for a pharmaceutical NRE agreement in 2022.
Gross profit increased $0.3 million or 6.2% for the three months ended December 31, 2023, as compared with the same period last year. Gross profit stated as a percentage of net revenues increased to 60.3% for the fourth quarter of 2023 compared to 55.5% in the fourth quarter of 2022. The increase was primarily driven by production efficiencies from the completion of an outsourced manufacturing initiative and consolidation of our manufacturing sites. Allowing for a one-time inventory adjustment for a product discontinuation, adjusted gross margin for the fourth quarter of 2023 was 63.1%. A reconciliation of adjusted gross margin to the most directly comparable GAAP measure is provided at the end of this press release.
Total operating expenses for the fourth quarter of 2023 were $6.7 million, an increase of $0.1 million or 1.6%, compared to $6.6 million in the prior year period. The increase was driven primarily by the hiring of our new Chief Commercial Officer to lead our Core business growth strategy, partially offset by efficiencies in insourcing R&D.
Net loss for the fourth quarter of 2023 was $7.5 million, or $(0.16) per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $2.0 million, or ($0.04) per diluted share for the same period of 2022. Net loss included a tax valuation allowance of $6.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2023. Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter was ($1.0 million), or ($0.02) per diluted share versus ($1.6 million), or ($0.04) in the prior year. A reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA and adjusted diluted EPS to the most directly comparable GAAP measures is provided at the end of this press release.

Total net revenues increased $0.6 million, or 2.2%, for the year ended December 31, 2023, as compared with the same period last year. Domestic Core growth of 5.9% was driven by volume growth in pumps and consumables attributed to share gains. International Core growth of 10.4% was driven by increased volume across several EU markets and the entry into multiple new geographic markets. The growth in Core offset a 41.6% year-over-year decline in Novel Therapies net revenues, primarily driven by the completion of a large milestone for a pharmaceutical NRE agreement in 2022.
Gross profit increased $1.3 million or 8.7% for the year ended December 31, 2023, compared to the same period in 2022. Gross profit as a percentage of net revenues increased to 58.6% compared to 55.1% from the prior year. The increase was driven by improvements in manufacturing productivity and product mix. Allowing for a one-time inventory adjustment for a product discontinuation, adjusted gross margin for the year ended 2023 was 59.6%. A reconciliation of adjusted gross margin to the most directly comparable GAAP measure is provided at the end of this press release.
Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $0.2 million, or 1.2%, during the year ended December 31, 2023, compared to the same period last year, primarily driven by lower executive restructuring costs partially offset by an increase of new hires in commercial business development and medical affairs.
Research and development expenses increased $0.8 million, or 15.9%, during the year ended December 31, 2023, compared with the same period last year, primarily due to compensation and expenses to support new hires focused on new product development.
Net loss for the full year 2023 was $13.7 million, or $(0.30) per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $8.7 million, or $(0.19) per diluted share for the same period of 2022. Net loss included a tax valuation allowance of $6.0 million for the full year 2023. Adjusted EBITDA for the full year was ($6.0) million, or ($0.13) per diluted share versus ($6.1) million or ($0.14) in the prior year. A reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA and adjusted diluted EPS to the most directly comparable GAAP measures is provided at the end of this press release.
Cash and cash equivalents were $11.5 million as of December 31, 2023, reflecting positive cash flow of $0.7 million in the fourth quarter and a reduction of cash burn to $5.9 million in 2023 from $8 million in 2022.
Subsequent Events
The Company has entered into a $5M revolving credit facility and a $5M term loan facility with HSBC Bank USA, which replaced a $3.5M revolving credit facility with a regional bank that expired in August of 2023. This new debt facility provides KORU Medical with additional capital flexibility to support a reserve for growth and strategic opportunities.
The Company has received an assessment report from its notified body in the EU, BSI, stating that, following BSI’s review of technical documentation submitted by the Company in connection with a prior audit nonconformance, a recommendation for continued certification cannot be made. The Company has filed an appeal to this determination. Management believes that the Company’s appeal will be successful in limiting the scope of the suspension to have minimal impact on the Company’s revenues, if any.
Assumptions and Guidance for Full Year 2024
KORU Medical's guidance for the full year 2024 reflects numerous assumptions that could affect its business, based on the information management has as of this date. Management will discuss its outlook and several of its assumptions on its fourth quarter 2023 earnings call.

This press release includes the non-GAAP financial measures "adjusted gross margin,” "adjusted diluted EPS" and “adjusted EBITDA” that are not in accordance with, nor an alternate to, generally accepted accounting principles and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. These non-GAAP measures are not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Reorganization Charges. We have excluded the effect of reorganization charges in calculating our non-GAAP measures. In 2022 and 2023 we incurred severance expenses related to the reorganization of the leadership team, which we would not have otherwise incurred in periods presented as part of continuing operations.
Manufacturing Initiative Expenses. We have excluded the effect of expenses related to creating manufacturing efficiencies in calculating our non-GAAP measures. We incurred expenses in connection with these initiatives which we would not have otherwise incurred in periods presented as part of our continuing operations.
Stock-based Compensation Expense. We have excluded the effect of stock-based compensation expense in calculating our non-GAAP measures. We record non-cash compensation expenses related to grants of options and restricted shares for executives, employees and consultants, and grants of shares to our board of directors. Depending upon the size, timing and the terms of the grants, the non-cash compensation expense may vary significantly but will recur in future periods.
Allowance for nonrealization of deferred tax assets (DTA). We have excluded the effect of recording a full valuation allowance on our deferred tax assets in the fourth quarter ended 2023 in the amount of $6.0 million to illustrate the impact on net loss and earnings per share.
Product Discontinuation. We have excluded the effect of disposing of a non-launched inventoried product that has no value in our core business product portfolio.
