Current report

We are a commercial-stage wearable medical device and digital healthcare company focused on transforming patient outcomes in cardiovascular disease through connected monitoring, therapeutic intervention, and data-driven clinical insights. We have developed and are commercializing the Cardiac Recovery System platform, an integrated cardiac recovery ecosystem designed to support patients at elevated risk of SCA during vulnerable periods of recovery. Our Cardiac Recovery System platform is anchored by the ASSURE® WCD, which continuously monitors patient heart rhythms and automatically delivers defibrillation therapy when life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias are detected. The platform also includes digital patient engagement and clinical workflow solutions designed to improve patient adherence, support care coordination, and provide actionable clinical insights throughout the recovery process. We believe the ASSURE WCD is differentiated by its patient-centered design, including comfort, wearability, and low false alarm rates, which are intended to improve patient compliance during extended wear periods. In addition, our integrated platform generates continuous cardiac rhythm data and clinically actionable insights that may assist healthcare providers in managing patients during vulnerable recovery periods. We believe these capabilities position Kestra to participate in the growing cardiac recovery market and support future platform expansion opportunities.

Current report

In December 2025, we completed a public underwritten offering and issued an aggregate of 6,900,000 Common Shares at a price of $23.00 per share, resulting in net proceeds of $149.3 million, after deducting underwriting discounts but before expenses. The aggregate number of Common Shares offered pursuant to the public offering included 900,000 Common Shares issued pursuant to the exercise in full of the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares.

Current report

Revenue increased by $35.3 million, or 59%, to $95.1 million for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2026, from $59.8 million for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2025, primarily driven by a 58% increase in the number of patients using our product.

Current report

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $49.2 million, or 43%, to $164.1 million for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2026, from $114.9 million for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2025. The increase was primarily driven by a $33.2 million increase in personnel expenses such as salaries, benefits and share-based compensation, resulting from an increase in headcount to support commercial growth, a $0.9 million increase in professional service fees, and insurance related to our transition to a public company, a $3.5 million increase in travel and entertainment expenses due to an increase in headcount, a $3.2 million increase in commercial support costs including contractors and external recruitment costs, a $2.1 million increase in commercial training costs, a $2.0 million increase related to shipping and logistics costs, a $1.7 million increase related to increased software licensing fees driven by increased headcount, a $0.9 million increase related to conference fees, and $1.4 million increase in other costs.

Interest income increased by $5.2 million, or 161%, to $8.4 million for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2026, from $3.2 million for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2025, primarily due to higher cash and investment balances following the IPO and secondary offering.

Current report

Other expense (income) for the year ended April 30, 2026 increased by $5.4 million compared to the year ended April 30, 2025. The increase was primarily due to the remeasurement of the warrant liability.

On July 10, 2026, Kestra Medical Technologies, Inc. and other credit parties thereto, entered into a Loan Agreement with BPCR Limited Partnership and BioPharma Credit Investments V (Master) LP, as lenders, and BioPharma Credit PLC, as collateral agent. The Loan Agreement provides for a five-year senior secured term loan facility of up to $200.0 million, divided into four tranches: (i) a committed Tranche A Loan in an aggregate principal amount of $75.0 million (the “Tranche A Loan”) which was funded on July 10, 2026 (the “Tranche A Closing Date”); (ii) a committed Tranche B Loan in an aggregate principal of $25.0 million (the “Tranche B Loan”) which may be requested, subject to certain limited conditions, at our option through July 31, 2027; (iii) a committed Tranche C Loan in an aggregate principal amount of $50.0 million (the “Tranche C Loan”) which is available to us upon reaching a trailing twelve-month revenue of $150.0 million and which may be requested on or prior to June 30, 2028 and (iv) an uncommitted Tranche D Loan for acquisitions at our option in aggregate principal amount of $50.0 million (the “Tranche D Loan” and collectively with the Tranche A Loan, the Tranche B Loan, and the Tranche C Loan, the “Term Loans”), subject to certain limited conditions and upon approval of the Lenders, on such date mutually agreed upon between us and the lenders.

Current report

Net proceeds from the Tranche A Loan were approximately 20.0 million, after deducting estimated debt issuance costs, fees and expenses, and repaying in full the obligations under Term Loan 2024 on July 10, 2026. The remaining proceeds will be used to fund our general corporate and working capital requirements.

Previous report

We are a commercial-stage, wearable medical device and digital healthcare company focused on transforming patient outcomes in cardiovascular disease using monitoring and therapeutic intervention technologies that are intuitive, intelligent, and connected. We have developed and are commercializing our Cardiac Recovery System platform, a comprehensive and advanced system that integrates monitoring, therapeutic treatment, digital health, and patient support services into a single, unified solution. The cornerstone of our Cardiac Recovery System platform is the ASSURE WCD, a next generation WCD used to protect patients at an elevated risk of SCA. The ASSURE WCD automatically monitors elevated risk patients and, if needed, delivers a defibrillation shock to return the patient’s heart to normal rhythm. We believe the ASSURE WCD offers significant clinical and functional advantages, including greater patient compliance as a result of a major reduction in false alarms, enhanced comfort and improved wearability. In addition to the ASSURE WCD, our Cardiac Recovery System platform includes a comprehensive suite of fully integrated digital solutions and services that enable enhanced patient and provider engagement and oversight, with the objective of improving patient outcomes. We believe our Cardiac Recovery System platform has the potential to disrupt the large existing market and grow the underpenetrated addressable market.

Previous report

Revenue increased by $32.0 million, or 115%, to $59.8 million for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2025, from $27.8 million for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2024, primarily driven by an increase in the number of patients using our product and an increase in reimbursement realization while reimbursement rates remained largely flat. There was an 88% increase in the number of patients using our product, along with a 15% increase in reimbursement realization due to additional payor contracts and a 75% increase in the size of our revenue cycle management team to improve collection efforts.

Previous report

Interest expense increased by $1.5 million, or 24%, to $7.7 million for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2025, from $6.2 million for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2024. The increase was primarily due to a $1.2 million increase in interest expense and amortization of debt discounts and debt issuance costs related to borrowings under our Term Loan 2024 and $0.3 million interest charged by a major vendor.

Previous report

Interest income increased by $3.2 million, or 100%, to $3.2 million for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2025, from none for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2024. The increase was due to $3.2 million interest income received from various interest-bearing bank accounts driven by higher cash balances in depository accounts resulting from fundings in July of 2024 and IPO proceeds in March of 2025.

Previous report

Other expense was largely flat at $2.8 million for the fiscal years ended April 30, 2025 and 2024. For the fiscal year ended April 30, 2025, other expense of $2.8 million was primarily consisted of a $2.6 million increase in the fair value of a warrant related to the Term Loan 2024 and $0.2 million related to other expenses. For the fiscal year ended April 30, 2024, other expense of $2.8 million was primarily consisted of an early loan termination fee and a loss on debt extinguishment totaling $2.7 million related to our Term Loan 2020 (as defined below), along with $0.1 million related to other expenses.

Previous report

On September 24, 2020, we entered into the Loan and Security Agreement with a lender providing for aggregate borrowings of up to $50.0 million (as amended, the “Term Loan”). Available commitments under our Term Loan were able to be drawn in up to three tranches, which were subject to the Company achieving certain funding, regulatory or revenue milestones, with $20.0 million available in the first tranche and $15.0 million available in each of the second and third tranches.
Reworded paragraphs (27)

Previous wording

We have been issued a Medicare Provider Number by the CMS, which enables us to bill Medicare for reimbursement for our ASSURE WCD as an accredited supplier to the extent the claim meets Medicare medical necessity and coverage requirements. We derive nearly all our revenue from the direct billing of various third-party payors, including Medicare, Medicaid, private payors and other healthcare-related organizations, for the lease of our ASSURE WCD to patients. We also bill patients for co-insurance payments and deductibles. As WCD therapy has existed for over 20 years in the United States, reimbursement codes are well-established, and WCDs are covered by Medicare, Medicaid and many private payors.

Previous wording

We have invested heavily in developing and commercializing our Cardiac Recovery System platform. We have also made significant investments in clinical studies to demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of our ASSURE WCD and to support applications for regulatory approvals. We have made and will continue to make significant investments to build our sales and marketing organization, and we intend to continue to increase the size of our commercial team to market our product in the United States. Based on our current operating plan, we believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents and cash generated from revenue transactions with customers will be sufficient to fund our operating and capital needs for at least the next 12 months. We may experience lower than expected cash generated from operating activities or greater than expected capital expenditures, cost of revenue or operating expenses and may require additional funding to execute on our growth plans, which may include future equity and debt financings. Adequate funding may not be available to us on acceptable terms or at all. Our failure to obtain sufficient funds on acceptable terms when needed could have a material and adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

Previous wording

We received FDA approval for the commercialization of our ASSURE WCD on July 27, 2021 and fully commercially launched our ASSURE WCD in August 2022. We generate revenue by leasing our ASSURE WCD to patients for a fixed amount on a month-to-month basis. The lease payments generally consist of the contracted amounts based on reimbursement arrangements with third-party payors, comprising Medicare, Medicaid, private payors and other healthcare-related organizations, and patient payments. The patient has the right to cancel the lease at any time during the lease period. We recognize lease revenue over the term of the lease when collectability is probable. If collectability of the lease payments is not deemed to be probable, the lease revenue is limited to the lesser of the income that would have been recognized if collectability was probable or the lease payments collected. If the lease payments are not deemed to be probable at inception, lease revenue is recognized when cash payments are received. We expect that our revenue will continue to increase as the number of patients that use our product increases.

Previous wording

Cost of revenue consist of direct material, labor and indirect costs related to the lease performance of our ASSURE WCD such as the cost of disposable WCD device components, depreciation expense of reusable medical rental equipment components, shipping and order fulfillment costs, as well as other indirect costs incurred to support the manufacture and medical rental equipment delivery to and ongoing support for the patient incurred in connection with providing our ASSURE WCD to patients. Overall expenditures for disposable components and reprocessing costs will increase as the number of patients receiving our ASSURE WCD increases and to a lesser extent, depreciation expense will increase as additional reusable ASSURE WCD components are purchased. However, depreciation expense as a percentage of cost of revenue is expected to decrease in the long run through economies of scale as we continue to grow our business. For additional information on how depreciation impacts our financial results, see Note 2, “Significant Accounting Policies” to our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Interest and other expense (income) consists of cash and non-cash components. The cash component of interest expense (income) is attributable to borrowings under our term loans and a portion of loss on extinguishment of debt as well as interest received from various interest-bearing bank accounts. The non-cash component consists of interest expense recognized from the amortization of debt discounts and debt issuance costs. Loss on extinguishment of debt is included in other expense.

Previous wording

To date, we have recorded a limited amount of United States federal and state income state expense. As of April 30, 2025, significant deferred tax assets include net operating loss carryforwards of $52.2 million, intangible assets of $35.4 million, interest carryforwards of $7.2 million, United States research and development credits of $5.5 million, and shared-based compensation of $5.0 million. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, we consider whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. We consider the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, carryback opportunities and tax planning strategies in making the assessment. We believe it is more likely than not that we will not realize the benefits of these deductible differences and have applied a full valuation allowance against them.

Cost of revenue increased by $8.1 million, or 30%, to $35.6 million for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2025, from $27.5 million for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2024. The increase in cost of revenue was primarily driven by an increase of $10.5 million in the cost of disposable medical equipment supplies, equipment reconditioning and other supplier costs, which were directly attributable to an increase in the number of patients using our product, and an increase of $1.0 million in our reserve for lost or damaged equipment, partially offset by a $3.4 million decrease in depreciation expense due to the changes in useful life of therapy cables and batteries.

Current wording

Cost of revenue increased by $10.7 million, or 30%, to $46.3 million for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2026, from $35.6 million for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2025.

Previous wording

Gross profit increased by $23.8 million to $24.2 million for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2025, from $0.4 for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2024. The increase in gross profit was primarily due to growth in both our total revenue, which was driven by an increased number of patients using our product, as well as an increase in revenue per patient as a result of an increase in reimbursement realization due to an increased number of payor contracts resulting in a higher percentage of patients having greater in-network coverage through their insurance providers and improved collection efforts driven by further increases in the size of our revenue cycle management team. The increase in gross profit was also driven by a decrease in cost of revenues per patient by 47% for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2025 compared to the fiscal year ended April 30, 2024, due to further improvements in the utilization of our rental pool of medical equipment and lower disposable costs driven by volume and manufacturing cost improvement programs we implemented during the fiscal year ended April 30, 2025, including a therapy cable repair program approved by the FDA in May 2024.

Current wording

Gross profit increased by $24.7 million to $48.9 million for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2026, from $24.2 million for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2025.

We obtained the PMA for our ASSURE WCD from the FDA on July 27, 2021 and fully commercially launched our ASSURE WCD in August 2022. We will continue to scale the business and therefore expect operating losses to continue. Based on our current operating plan, we believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents, which includes the net proceeds from our IPO, as well as cash generated from revenue transactions with customers, will be sufficient to fund our operating and capital needs for at least the next 12 months. We may experience lower than expected cash generated from operating activities or greater than expected capital expenditures, cost of revenue or operating expenses and may require additional funding to execute on our growth plans, which may include future equity and debt financings. Our assessment of the period of time through which our financial resources will be adequate to support our operations is a forward-looking statement and involves risks and uncertainties.

Our future obligations primarily consist of our debt obligations. From our inception to the consummation of the IPO, our operations were primarily funded by proceeds from our capital contributions made by West Affum Holdings, L.P., our direct parent prior to the Organizational Transactions, borrowings under our Term Loan 2024 and, prior to its repayment in September of 2023, our Term Loan, and our revenues. We expect our cash generation from operations and future ability to refinance or secure additional equity or financing to be sufficient to repay our outstanding debt obligations. As of April 30, 2025, the outstanding principal amount under the Term Loan 2024 was approximately $45.0 million. The Term Loan was repaid in full in September 2023. For further information, see Note 7, “Long-Term Debt,” to our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

On September 29, 2023, we entered into a Credit Agreement with Perceptive Credit Holdings IV, LP, as administrative agent, which provides for a senior secured delayed draw term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $60.0 million (“Term Loan 2024”) and used a portion of our borrowings to repay the Term Loan. The Term Loan 2024 matures on September 29, 2028. Borrowings under the Term Loan 2024 are made available in up to three tranches, the first of which is available upon closing of the Term Loan 2024 and two follow-on tranches of $7.5 million which become available before November 1, 2024 and February 1, 2025 and are dependent upon achievement of revenue milestones of trailing twelve month revenues of $50.0 million and $70.0 million, respectively. We did not meet the revenue milestone required to draw on the November 1, 2024 follow-on tranche of the Term Loan 2024. As of October 31, 2024, we determined it was not likely that we would meet the revenue milestone required to draw on the February 1, 2025 follow-on tranche of the Term Loan 2024.

The Term Loan 2024 bears interest on outstanding balances of Term SOFR plus a margin of 7.25% per annum. All interest is due and payable quarterly in arrears.

The Company’s long-lived assets consist of property and equipment, which includes leasehold improvements and right-of-use assets. The Company does not have long-lived assets held for sale. Long-lived assets are reviewed for potential impairment at such time that events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. When evaluating long-lived assets for potential impairment, the Company will first compare the carrying amount of the assets to estimated future net undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of the assets, including cash flows from disposition. If the estimated future cash flows are less than the carrying amounts of the assets, an impairment loss is recognized and measured based upon the excess of the carrying value of the asset over its estimated fair value. There were no impairments of long-lived assets during the fiscal years ended April 30, 2025 and 2024.
