Zomedica Announces Second Quarter 2024 Financial Results: Revenue of $6.1 Million; 71% Gross Margin, and $83.0 Million in Liquidity to Support Growth

Diagnostic revenues up 68% year-over-year

ANN ARBOR, MI / ACCESSWIRE / August 14, 2024 / Zomedica Corp. (NYSE American:ZOM) ("Zomedica" or the "Company"), a veterinary health company offering point-of-care diagnostic and therapeutic products for equine and companion animals, today reported consolidated financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2024.

"We are pleased with the progress in the quarter, which represents the highest second quarter for the Company to date. We saw significant growth in our diagnostic product revenue, reflecting growing adoption of our TRUFORMA^® and VETGuardian^® products. We also enjoyed substantial growth in consumable products, reflecting the robust usage of our products in the clinic on an ongoing basis and rising to 72% of total sales, bolstering a foundation of recurring sales revenue. While we did set a record for revenue in the second quarter of the year, and sales of PulseVet^® consumables grew, we were disappointed by sales of new PulseVet systems, which were down by three systems from the previous year. We believe that this was a result of short-term dynamics, and we expect to see year over year growth in this line item in the remaining quarters of this year," commented Zomedica's Chief Executive Officer, Larry Heaton.

"International sales exceeded our expectations, without processing inventory stocking orders for new international distribution agreements entered during the quarter. Instead, we expect that these orders will provide additional upside for the current and subsequent quarters. Gross margin, a key component of reaching profitability, also exceeded expectations for the quarter, rising to 71%.

"We also made significant strides towards our key growth initiatives in the quarter, which included the receipt of multiple key regulatory approvals allowing for the expansion of our commercial footprint in key international markets; the publication of compelling clinical data to support the further adoption of our portfolio; and the launch of new products."

"As we move into the back half of the year, we are very excited about the future of Zomedica. We believe that the continued momentum towards our growth initiatives in combination with the strength of our balance sheet will allow us to aggressively execute on our strategies to drive increased adoption of our portfolio on a global scale," concluded Mr. Heaton.

2024 Second Quarter Financial Highlights

Revenue for the second quarter of 2024 grew 2% to $6.1 million, compared to second quarter 2023 revenue, reflecting 68% growth over the prior year in the Diagnostics segment driven by accelerating adoption of the TRUFORMA and VETGuardian products.

Revenue by Product Segment:

• Diagnostics segment revenue, comprised of our TRUFORMA, TRUVIEW^TM, and VETGuardian products, was $0.4 million, up 68% over second quarter 2023 revenues of $0.2 million

• Therapeutic Device segment revenue, comprised of our PulseVet and Assisi^® products, was $5.7 million, down 1% from second quarter 2023 revenues of $5.8 million.

Revenue by Product Category:

• Consumable revenues grew to $4.4 million, up 8% over second quarter 2023 revenues of $4.0 million, and represent 72% of total sales.

• Capital revenues were $1.7 million, down 12% from second quarter 2023 revenues of $2.0 million.

Gross margin was 71% for the second quarter of 2024, slightly ahead of our expectations, and up from 67% in the prior year quarter, primarily driven by efficiencies gained from the ongoing integration of the recent Qorvo Biotechnologies acquisition.

Total cash used during the quarter was approximately $8.0 million. When adjusted for non-recurring one-time items, non-GAAP operating burn was approximately $5.2 million, in line with second quarter expectations and previously provided annual guidance for 2024.

2024 Second Quarter Results Review

Revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2024, was $6.1 million, compared to $6.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, an increase of $0.1 million or approximately 2%. The increase was driven by a 68% increase in our Diagnostics segment.

Cost of revenue was $1.8 million, compared to $2.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, a decrease of $0.2 million, as margins improved to 71% versus second quarter 2023 margins of 67%.

Operating expenses were $29.4 million, compared to $10.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. When adjusting for the non-cash impairment charges associated with our Structured Monitoring Products, Revo Squared and Assisi acquisitions, totaling $16.0 million, operating expenses for the quarter were $13.4 million, an increase of $2.6 million compared to prior year.

Research and development expenses were $1.5 million, compared to $0.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, an increase of $0.6 million. The increase was primarily due to our continued investments in acquiring CE marking for our TRUFORMA, TRUVIEW and VETGuardian products, incorporating Artificial Intelligence ("AI") into our TRUVIEW and VETGuardian products and developing new TRUFORMA assays for launch later this year.

Selling and marketing expense was $3.9 million, compared to $3.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, an increase of $0.8 million. The increase was primarily due to our growing sales organization and higher trade show expenses associated with launching and marketing additional products.

General and administrative expense was $8.0 million, compared to $6.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, an increase of $1.2 million. The increase was primarily driven by professional fees for specialized accounting work and audit work associated with 2023 acquisitions, and additional fees related to compliance associated programs.

Net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2024, was $23.9 million, or $0.024 per share, which included $16.0 million in non-cash charges for goodwill impairments, compared to a net loss of $5.2 million, or $0.005 per share, for the three months ended June 30, 2023

**Non-GAAP EBITDA loss (which includes adjustments for stock compensation) for the three months ended June 30, 2024, was $22.3 million compared to a loss of $3.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023.

When adjusting for the impairment charges noted above, and other non-cash items, **Adjusted Non-GAAP EBITDA loss was $5.2 million.

Liquidity and Outstanding Share Capital

Zomedica had cash, cash equivalents, and available-for-sale securities of $83.0 million as of June 30, 2024, compared to $90.9 million as of March 31, 2024. The decrease in cash was primarily driven by continued operations, other professional fees for specialized accounting work as well as audit and tax work associated with acquisitions, and additional fees related to compliance associated programs.

As of June 30, 2024, Zomedica had 979,949,668 common shares issued and outstanding.
