Management Discussion

Richard DiIorio, chief executive officer of InfuSystem, said, “We are off to a strong start in 2023, exceeding our plan with solid top-line growth of 13% for the first quarter. InfuSystem achieved an important milestone with net quarterly revenue exceeding $30 million for the first time in company history. We had strong demand for our services during the quarter, resulting in DME growth of 15%, led by biomedical services and 13% growth in ITS with solid growth coming from all three of our therapies; Oncology, Wound Care and Pain Management. These positive results are reflective of our team’s execution and continued commitment to delivering industry-leading service.”

“The growth in our biomedical service business resulted from increased volume of onboarding new facilities and devices for our tier-one global healthcare partner. This did impact our gross margin and profitability due to higher spending to enable the accelerated volumes. We are closely monitoring expenses as we ramp the business, seeking to optimize the team for both short-term onboarding opportunities and long-term operating efficiencies to enhance margins.”

“In Wound Care, our objective is to provide leading-edge solutions that promote healing, improve patient outcomes, and lower the cost of care through our SI Wound Care partnership. An important early component of that strategy is the expansion of distribution partnerships to provide our customers with multiple options that promote healing throughout the continuum of care. Our new distribution agreement with Genadyne for Negative Pressure Wound Therapy devices and associated products, which was announced on April 25, 2023, represents an important step in achieving our goals.”

“We look forward to building on the momentum established in the first quarter. The entire InfuSystem team is dedicated to achieving consistent operational and financial growth in the coming quarters and in the years to come. Consistent execution is an important goal for all of us at InfuSystem and we owe it to our loyal shareholders,” concluded Mr. DiIorio.

2023 First Quarter Financial Review

Net revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 were $30.4 million, an increase of $3.6 million, or 13%, compared to $26.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2022. Both of the Company's reporting segments contributed to this increase.

ITS net revenue of $18.8 million increased $2.1 million, or 13%, during the first quarter of 2023 as compared to the same prior year period. This increase was primarily attributable to additional treatment volume in Oncology and Pain Management, revenue from sales-type leases of NPWT pumps, improved third party payer collections on billings and higher average prices. Net revenue in Oncology for the three-month period of 2023 represented the largest increase totaling $1.6 million, or a 11% increase compared to the same prior year period. This was followed by an increase in revenue for Wound Care which increased by $0.2 million, or 63% compared to the same prior year period, mainly due to an increase in sales of equipment on sales-type leases partially offset by lower treatment volumes. Pain Management net revenue of 2023 increased by $0.3 million, which represented an increase of 28% as compared to the three-month period of 2022.

DME Services net revenue of $11.6 million (exclusive of inter-segment revenues) increased $1.5 million, or 15%, during the first quarter of 2023 as compared to the same prior year period. This increase included higher biomedical services revenue which increased by $1.7 million, or 98% compared to the same prior year period, partially offset by lower equipment rentals totaling $0.3 million. The increased biomedical revenue was mainly due to a new master services agreement with a leading global healthcare technology and diagnostic company that was launched in April 2022.

Gross profit for the first quarter of 2023 of $15.5 million increased $0.2 million, or 1.1%, from $15.4 million for the first quarter of 2022. The increase was driven by the increase in net revenue partially offset by lower gross profit percentage of net revenue ("gross margin"). Gross margin was 51.2% during the first quarter of 2023 as compared to 57.4% during the same prior year period, a decrease of 6.2%. This decrease was due to a decrease in the gross margin for both the DME Services and ITS segments.

ITS gross profit was $11.5 million during the first quarter of 2023, representing an increase of $0.8 million, or 7.5%, compared to the same prior year period. The improvement reflected an increase in net revenues partially offset by a lower gross margin, which decreased from the prior year by 3.0% to 61.5%. The lower gross margin was the result of a $0.4 million increase in the adjustment recorded for pump disposal expenses and an impact from unfavorable product mix favoring lower margin revenues. These increased expenses were partially offset by improved third party payer collections on billings and improved coverage of fixed costs from the higher net revenue. Pump disposal expenses include retirements of damaged pumps and reserves for missing pumps. The increase was mainly related to an updated estimate of the volume of pumps considered missing based on pump return data and physical inventories. The lower margin mix was primarily related to the increase in NPWT pump sales leases.

DME Services gross profit during the first quarter of 2023 was $4.0 million, representing a decrease of $0.6 million, or 13.6%, compared to the same prior year period. This decrease was due to was due to a decrease in gross margin, which was partially offset by the increase in net revenues. The DME gross margin was 34.5% during the current period, which was 11.2% lower than the same prior year period. This decrease was due to an increase in labor costs related to an increase in the number of biomedical technicians and other expenses associated with the rapid on-boarding of the new master services agreement. Some of the additional labor costs include training activities and other labor expenses associated with building a larger team in order to have the capacity required to support much higher planned revenue volume. Over time, higher revenue levels are expected to absorb a portion of the increased labor costs resulting in an improved gross margin. Other increased expenses associated with the on-boarding ramp, which include increased travel expenses and employee acquisitions costs, are expected to decrease in the future. We currently estimate that the additional expenses incurred during the three-month period of 2023 that will either be absorbed or reduced totaled approximately $1.3 million.

Selling and marketing expenses for the first quarter of 2023 were $3.2 million, a decrease of 2.9% from $3.3 million for the first quarter of 2022. Selling and marketing expenses as a percentage of net revenues decreased to 10.6% compared to the same prior year period at 12.4%. This decrease reflected improved coverage of fixed costs from the higher net revenue.

General and administrative (“G&A”) expenses for the first quarter of 2023 were $12.1 million, an increase of 2.1% from $11.8 million for the first quarter of 2022. The increase of $0.2 million was due to $0.2 million in additional audit expenses associated with additional requirements to comply with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, higher travel expenses and other increases including higher personnel wages, healthcare, information technology and general business expenses. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in stock-based compensation expense of $0.3 million. G&A expenses as a percentage of net revenues for the first quarter of 2023, decreased to 39.7% compared to 44.2% for the same prior year period mainly reflecting improved net revenue coverage of fixed costs.

Net loss for the first quarter of 2023 was $0.3 million, or $(0.02) per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $0.4 million, or $(0.02) per diluted share for the first quarter of 2022.

Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, for the first quarter of 2023 was $4.2 million, or 13.9% of net revenue, and increased by $0.1 million, or 2.2%, compared to Adjusted EBITDA for the same prior year quarter of $4.1 million, or 15.5% of prior period net revenue.

Balance sheet, cash flows and liquidity

During the three-month period ended March 31, 2023, operating cash flow was a use of cash totaling $0.2 million. During the same period in 2022 operating cash flow was a source of cash totaling $4.1 million. The change reflected lower operating margins during 2023 including the extra on-boarding expenses related to the biomedical services contract and increases in working capital including higher accounts receivable and inventories associated with the growth in sales volume during the period. Capital expenditures, which include purchases of medical devices, totaled $4.3 million during the three-month period of 2023 which was $1.2 million, or 38%, higher than the amount purchased during the same prior year period, an amount which was partially offset by higher proceeds from the sale of medical equipment which increased by $0.3 million. Additionally, during the three-month period of 2023, $0.2 million was used to repurchase the Company's common stock under a stock repurchase plan authorized on June 30, 2021.

As of March 31, 2023, available liquidity totaled $38.3 million and consisted of $38.0 million in available borrowing capacity under the Company's revolving line of credit plus cash and cash equivalents of $0.3 million. Net debt, a non-GAAP measure (calculated as total debt of $36.4 million less cash and cash equivalents of $0.3 million) as of March 31, 2023 was $36.1 million representing an increase of $3.1 million as compared to net debt of $33.0 million as of December 31, 2022 (calculated as total debt of $33.2 million less cash and cash equivalents of $0.2 million). Our ratio of Adjusted EBITDA to net debt (non-GAAP) for the last four quarters was 1.73 to 1.00 (calculated as net debt of $36.1 million divided by Adjusted EBITDA of $20.8 million).

On April 26, 2023, we amended the 2021 credit agreement in order to extend the term of the facility and to replace LIBOR with Term SOFR as a benchmark interest rate. The new expiration date of the 2021 Credit Agreement is April 26, 2028.

The Company believes that the non-GAAP financial measures presented in this press release provide useful information to the Company’s management, investors and other interested parties about the Company’s operating performance because they allow them to understand and compare the Company’s operating results during the current periods to the prior year periods in a more consistent manner. This non-GAAP information should be considered by the reader in addition to, but not instead of, the financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP, and similarly titled non-GAAP measures may be calculated differently by other companies. The Company calculates those non-GAAP measures by adjusting for non-recurring or non-core items that are not part of the normal course of business. A reconciliation of those measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures is provided in the accompanying schedule, titled "GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliation" below. Future period non-GAAP guidance includes adjustments for items not indicative of our core operations, which may include, without limitation, items included in the accompanying schedule below. Such adjustments may be affected by changes in ongoing assumptions and judgments, as well as non-core, nonrecurring, unusual or unanticipated changes, expenses or gains or other items that may not directly correlate to the underlying performance of our business operations. The exact amounts of these adjustments are not currently determinable but may be significant. It is therefore not practicable to provide the comparable GAAP measures or reconcile this non-GAAP guidance to the most comparable GAAP measures and, therefore, such comparable GAAP measures and reconciliations are excluded from this release in reliance upon applicable SEC staff guidance.
