Total net sales increased $1.7 million, or 28.5%, for the three months ended September 30, 2022, as compared with the same period last year as we saw double digit growth across all businesses. Domestic core growth was primarily driven by increased volume attributed to SCIg market growth and label expansions including prefill syringes. Domestic core included the clearing of $0.3 million in backorders from the second quarter of 2022. Novel therapies sales grew by 251.9% in the third quarter of 2022 related to services performed for a non-recurring engineering (NRE) innovation development agreement for a pharmaceutical customer and increases in clinical trial product sales to several pharmaceutical customers. Sales growth in our international core business was driven by volume growth in several EU markets compared with prior year.

Gross profit increased $0.8 million or 23.7% in the three months ended September 30, 2022, compared to the same period in 2021. This increase in gross profit was driven by volume increase in net sales of $1.7 million as described above. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales decreased to 55.7% compared to 57.9% from the third quarter of 2021. The decline in the gross profit percent was primarily due to higher manufacturing costs associated with labor and materials. The growth of the novel therapies business, and associated NRE service revenue also contributed to the lower gross margin. Unfavorable product mix was offset by a nominal increase in average selling prices.

Total operating expenses for the third quarter of 2022 were $5.9 million, compared to $4.8 million for the same period in 2021. The increase in operating expenses is due to strategic investments in research and development, and new hires to support business development, commercialization, quality and regulatory capabilities.

Net loss for the third quarter of 2022 was $1.2 million, or $(0.03) per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $1.1 million, or ($0.02) per diluted share for the same period of 2021. Net loss included a tax benefit of $0.3 million for the third quarter of 2022.

Cash and cash equivalents were $16.4 million as of September 30, 2022.

Assumptions and Outlook for Full Year 2022

KORU Medical’s outlook for full year 2022 reflects numerous assumptions that could affect its business, based on the information management has as of this date, which includes assumptions regarding the continued recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic related to new SCIg patient starts, SCIg market growth rate in the high single digits, plasma supply, clinical trial activity and expansion of the novel therapies pipeline, inflationary impact (including labor and supply price increases), supply chain and labor shortage impacts, timely receipt of other receivable credits and planned inventory reductions by year end 2022. Management will discuss its outlook and several of its assumptions on its third quarter 2022 earnings call.

KORU Medical now expects full year 2022 revenue to be in the range of $27.5 to $28.0 million (previously $27.0 to $27.5 million).

The Company is confirming to exit the year with a 55.0% to 60.0% gross margin.

The Company is lowering its operating expenses guidance to $26.5 to $27.0 million (previously $27.0 to $28.0 million).

The Company is confirming its guidance to include a minimum cash balance of $16.0 million for year end 2022.

Conference Call and Webcast Details

The Company will host a live conference call and webcast to discuss these results and provide a corporate update on Wednesday, November 9, 2022, at 4:30 PM ET.

Reorganization Charges. We have excluded the effect of reorganization charges in calculating our non-GAAP measures. In 2021 we incurred significant expenses in connection with the departure and replacement of our chief executive officer and the recruiting of two new board members, which we would not have otherwise incurred in periods presented as part of our continuing operations. In 2022 we incurred further severance expense related to the reorganization of the leadership team and the departure of our chief financial officer, 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. We expect to incur related expenses for the next three to six months.

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 expense 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.
