Current report

Net revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2024 ("second quarter of 2024") were $33.7 million, an increase of $2.0 million, or 6.2%, compared to $31.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 ("second quarter of 2023"). The increase included higher net revenues for both the Patient Services and Device Solutions segments.

Current report

Gross profit for the second quarter of 2024 of $16.7 million increased by $0.8 million, or 5%, compared to the second quarter of 2023. This increase was due to the increase in net revenues offset partially by a lower gross profit percentage of net revenue ("gross margin"). During the second quarter of 2024, we identified and corrected an immaterial error in our accrued liabilities associated with travel expenses resulting in a unfavorable cumulative expense adjustment to cost of revenues totaling $0.6 million during the second quarter of 2024. The lower gross margin was attributable to this adjustment, which represented 1.6% of net revenue for the second quarter of 2024. Gross margin was 49.5% during the second quarter of 2024 compared to 49.9% during the prior year period, a decrease of 0.4%. Gross profit and gross margin increased in the Patient Services segment but were both lower in the Device Solutions segment.

Current report

Patient Services gross profit was $13.4 million during the second quarter of 2024, representing an increase of $1.6 million compared to the prior year period. The increase reflected the higher net revenue and higher gross margin, which increased from the prior year by 5.1% to 66.4%. The increase in gross margin reflected increased third-party payer collections, favorable gross margin mix, lower pump disposal expenses and improved coverage of fixed costs from higher net revenue. The favorable gross margin mix was mainly related to the decrease in revenue related to NPWT equipment leases which have a lower average gross margin than other Patient Services revenue categories. Pump disposal expenses, which include retirements of damaged pumps and reserves for missing pumps, decreased by $0.1 million during the second quarter of 2024 compared to the prior year period.

Current report

Device Solutions gross profit during the second quarter of 2024 was $3.2 million, representing a decrease of $0.8 million, or 19.1%, compared to the prior year. This decrease was due to the $0.6 million error correction and a decrease in gross margin. These decreases were partially offset by higher net revenue. The Device Solutions gross margin was 24.0% during the current quarter, which was 8.1% lower than the prior year period which included a 4.1% reduction related to the error correction. The remaining decrease was due to unfavorable sales mix favoring lower margin products including disposable medical supplies.

Current report

Selling and marketing expenses were $3.0 million for the second quarter of 2024, representing an increase of $0.1 million, or 1.9%, compared to the prior year. Selling and marketing expenses as a percentage of net revenues decreased to 9.0% compared to 9.4% in the prior year period. This decrease reflected a reduction in sales team members and improved coverage of fixed costs from higher net revenues. The selling and marketing expenses during these periods consisted of sales personnel salaries, commissions and associated fringe benefit and payroll-related items, marketing, travel and entertainment and other miscellaneous expenses.

Current report

During the second quarter of 2024, other expense included interest expense of $0.5 million, which was $0.1 million lower than interest expense for the second quarter of 2023. Interest expense includes interest and other fees paid in relation to borrowings under the 2021 Credit Agreement, as amended, partially offset by amounts received on interest rate swap derivatives. The decrease resulted from lower average outstanding debt balances during the second quarter of 2024 compared to the second quarter of 2023, partially offset by higher commitment fees on a higher unused revolving line availability.

Current report

InfuSystem Holdings, Inc. Results of Operations for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2024 Compared to the Six Months Ended June 30, 2023

Current report

Patient Services net revenue of $38.8 million increased $0.7 million, or 2.0%, during the first half of 2024 compared to the same prior year period. This increase was primarily attributable additional treatment volume and increased third-party payer collections totaling $2.3 million offset partially by $1.5 million lower revenue from sales-type leases of NPWT pumps. The improved volume and collections benefited Oncology revenue by $1.4 million or 4.2%, Pain Management revenue by $0.2 million, or 8.4%, and Wound Care treatment revenue by $0.7 million, or 195.5%. Sales-Type Lease revenue of NPWT pumps, which had a tough comparison to an unusually strong prior year amount, decreased by $1.5 million.

Current report

Device Solutions net revenue of $26.9 million increased $2.8 million, or 11.8%, during the first half of 2024 compared to the same prior year period. This increase included higher biomedical services revenue, which increased by $1.6 million, or 21.4%, higher rental revenue totaling $0.7 million, or 8.0%, higher disposable medical supplies revenue, which increased by $0.3 million or 6.7% and higher medical equipment sales, which increased by $0.3 million, or 8.0%. The increased biomedical revenue was mainly attributable to increased revenue from the master services agreement that we entered into in April 2022. The increases in rental revenue and disposables are mainly attributable to a new customer added during the period.

Current report

Gross profit of $33.1 million for the first half of 2024 increased $2.4 million, or 7.7%, from $30.8 million for the first half of 2023. This increase was due to the increase in net revenues and by a higher gross profit percentage of net revenue ("gross margin"). During the second quarter of 2024, we identified and corrected an immaterial error in our accrued liabilities associated with travel expenses resulting in a unfavorable cumulative expense adjustment to cost of revenues totaling $0.6 million during the second quarter of 2024. This adjustment represented 0.8% of net revenue for the first half of 2024. Gross profit increased for both the Patient Services and Device Solutions segments. Gross margin increased to 50.4% during the first half of 2024 compared to 49.6% during the same prior year period. Gross margin increased in the Patient Services segment but was lower in the Device Solutions segment.

Current report

Device Solutions gross profit during the first half of 2024 was $7.4 million, which was the same amount as the prior year period. Higher gross profit associated with increased net revenue was offset by a lower gross margin. The Device Solutions gross margin was 27.6% during the current period, which was 3.2% lower than the same prior year period. This decrease included a 2.1% reduction related to the error correction. The remaining decrease was due to unfavorable sales mix favoring lower margin products including disposable medical supplies.

Previous report

Gross profit of $16.5 million for the three-month period of 2024 increased $1.5 million, or 10.2%, from $15.0 million for the three-month period of 2023. This increase was due to the increase in net revenues and by a higher gross margin. Gross margin increased to 51.5% during the three-month period of 2024 compared to 49.2% during the same prior year period. This increase was due to increases in gross margin for both the Patient Services and Device Solutions segments.

Previous report

Device Solutions gross profit during the three-month period of 2024 was $4.2 million, representing a increase of $0.8 million, or 23.2%, compared to the same prior year period. This increase was due to the higher net revenue and due to an increase in gross margin. The Device Solutions gross margin was 31.3% during the current period, which was 1.9% higher than the same prior year period. This increase was due to an improvement in the absorption of direct expenses for the master services agreement launched during 2022 and accelerated during the first quarter of 2023. During the first quarter of 2023, the Company experienced 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 master services agreement. Some of the additional labor costs included 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 have begun to absorb a portion of these increased labor costs resulting in the improved gross margin. We estimate that further gross margin improvements will be gained as cost reduction and productivity improvement activities continue to be developed and deployed.
Reworded paragraphs (16)

Previous wording

Patient Services net revenue of $18.6 million decreased $0.2 million, or 1.0%, during the three-month period of 2024 compared to the same prior year period. This decrease was primarily attributable to decreased third-party payer collections on billings totaling approximately $0.5 million and lower revenue from sales-type leases of NPWT pumps, which decreased by $0.3 million, both of which had tough comparisons to strong prior year amounts. These decreases were partially offset by higher treatment volume in both Oncology and Wound Care.

Current wording

Patient Services net revenue of $20.2 million increased $0.9 million, or 4.8%, during the second quarter of 2024 compared to the prior year period. This increase was primarily attributable to additional treatment volume and increased third-party payer collections totaling $2.1 million offset partially by $1.2 million lower revenue from sales-type leases of NPWT pumps. The improved volume and collections benefited Oncology revenue by $1.5 million, or 8.9%, Pain Management revenue by $0.3 million, or 28.9%, and Wound Care treatment revenue by $0.3 million, or 188.0%. Sales-Type Lease revenue of NPWT pumps, which had a tough comparison to an unusually strong prior year, decreased by $1.2 million.

Previous wording

Device Solutions net revenue of $13.4 million increased $1.8 million, or 15.6%, during the three-month period of 2024 compared to the same prior year period. This increase included higher biomedical services revenue, which increased by $1.0 million, or 31%, higher sales of medical equipment, which increased by $0.6 million, or 40% and higher rental equipment revenue, which increased by $0.3 million, compared to the same prior year period. These increases were partially offset by lower sales of disposable medical supplies which decreased by $0.1 million. The increased biomedical revenue was mainly attributable to increased revenue from the master services agreement that we entered into in April 2022.

Current wording

Device Solutions net revenue of $13.5 million increased $1.0 million, or 8.3%, during the second quarter of 2024 compared to the prior year period. This increase included higher biomedical services revenue, which increased by $0.5 million, or 13.6%, higher rental revenue totaling $0.4 million, or 9.2%, and higher disposable medical supplies revenue, which increased by $0.4 million, or 20.4%. These increases were partially offset by lower medical equipment sales, which decreased by $0.3 million, or 18.8%. The increased biomedical revenue was mainly attributable to increased revenue from the master services agreement that we entered into in April 2022. The increases in rental revenue and disposables are mainly attributable to a new customer added during the period. Lower medical equipment sales reflects normal shipment timing for large contracts.

Previous wording

During the three-month period of 2024, the Company recorded a benefit from income taxes totaling $0.2 million on pre-tax losses of $1.3 million, representing an effective tax rate of 14.3%. During the three-month period of 2023, the Company recorded a benefit from income taxes totaling $0.3 million on pre-tax losses of $0.6 million, representing an effective tax rate of 48.2%. These rates differed from the U.S. statutory rate mainly due to the effects of local, state and foreign jurisdiction income taxes, limitations on the deductions of certain expenses including meals and entertainment expense and management compensation and differences between expense recognized for book purposes versus tax purposes associated with equity compensation expense. The impact of permanent differences weighs heavier on the effective tax rate when pre-tax earnings are close to break even.

Current wording

During the second quarter of 2024, the Company recorded a provision for income taxes totaling $0.6 million on pre-tax income of $1.3 million, representing an effective tax rate of 45%. During the second quarter of 2023, the Company recorded a provision for income taxes of $0.2 million on a pre-tax income of $0.6 million, representing an effective tax rate of 31%. The effective tax rates for these periods differed from the U.S. statutory rate mainly due to the effects of local, state and foreign jurisdiction income taxes and certain permanent differences in expenses recognized for tax purposes, such as non-deductible meals and entertainment, management compensation and differences between expense recognized for book purposes versus tax purposes associated with equity compensation expense. The impact of permanent differences weigh heavier on the effective tax rate when pre-tax earnings are close to break even.

Previous wording

Net revenues for the three-month period ended March 31, 2024 (“three-month period of 2024”) were $32.0 million, an increase of $1.6 million, or 5.4%, compared to $30.4 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2023 (“three-month period of 2023”). The increase included higher net revenues for the Device Solutions segment offset partially by lower revenue for the Patient Services segment.

Current wording

Net revenues for the six-month period ended June 30, 2024 ("first half of 2024") were $65.7 million, an increase of $3.6 million, or 5.8%, compared to $62.1 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2023 ("first half of 2023").

Previous wording

Patient Services gross profit was $12.3 million during the three-month period of 2024, representing an increase of $0.7 million, or 6.4%, compared to the same prior year period. The improvement reflected a higher gross margin, which increased from the prior year by 4.5% to 66.0%. The higher gross margin was the result of a change in product mix favoring higher margin revenues. These improvements were partially offset by lower third-party payer collections on billings. The favorable gross margin mix was mainly related to the decrease in revenue related to NPWT equipment leases, which have a lower average gross margin than other Patient Services revenue categories.

Current wording

Patient Services gross profit was $25.7 million during the first half of 2024, representing an increase of $2.3 million, or 10.0%, compared to the same prior year period. The improvement reflected increased net revenue and higher gross margin, which increased from the prior year by 4.8% to 66.2%. The increase in gross margin reflected increased third-party payer collections, lower pump disposal expenses, favorable gross margin mix and improved coverage of fixed costs from higher net revenue. The favorable gross margin mix was mainly related to the decrease in revenue related to NPWT equipment leases which have a lower average gross margin than other Patient Services revenue categories. Pump disposal expenses, which include retirements of damaged pumps and reserves for missing pumps, decreased by $0.6 million during the first half of 2024 compared to the prior year period.

Previous wording

During the three-month period of 2024, other income and expense included interest expense of $0.5 million, which was slightly lower than interest expense for the three-month period of 2023. This decrease was due to a decrease in outstanding borrowings on the 2021 Credit Agreement, as amended, (defined below) revolving line of credit partially offset by higher average interest rates.

Current wording

During the first half of 2024, other income and expense included interest expense of $0.9 million, which was slightly lower than interest expense for the first half of 2023. This decrease was due to a decrease in outstanding borrowings on the 2021 Credit Agreement, as amended, (defined below) revolving line of credit partially offset by higher average interest rates.

Previous wording

Operating Cash Flow. Operating cash flows provided $0.4 million in cash during the three-month period of 2024 and used $0.2 million of cash during the three-month period of 2023. This $0.5 million favorable difference was attributable to a reduction of cash used to fund working capital items, which was $1.5 million during three-month period of 2024 compared to $3.1 million during three-month period of 2023, a decrease of $1.6 million. This amount was offset by a decrease in net loss adjusted for non-cash items, which was $1.9 million during the three-month period of 2024 compared to $3.0 million during the three-month period of 2023, a decrease of $1.1 million. The decrease in net loss adjusted for non-cash items was primarily attributable to the increased general and administrative expenses, offset partially by the higher revenue and gross profit described above. The use of cash for working capital items during the three-month period of 2024 included a $1.1 million decrease in accounts payable and other liabilities net of capital items, a $0.7 million increase in other current assets and a $0.2 million increase in accounts receivable. These cash flow uses were partially offset by a $0.2 million decrease in inventories and a $0.4 million decrease in other assets. The cash used for working capital items during the three-month period of 2023 included a $1.0 million increase in accounts receivable, a $0.8 million increase in inventories, a $0.8 million increase in other current assets and a $0.8 million increase in other assets. These were partially offset by a $0.3 million increase in accounts payable and other liabilities net of capital items.

Current wording

Operating Cash Flow. Operating cash flows provided $2.7 million in cash during the first half of 2024 and $2.3 million of cash during the first half of 2023. This $0.4 million favorable difference was attributable to a reduction of cash used to fund working capital items, which was $4.4 million during first half of 2024 compared to $5.3 million during first half of 2023, a decrease of $0.9 million. This amount was offset by a decrease in net (loss) income adjusted for non-cash items, which was $7.1 million during the first half of 2024 compared to $7.6 million during the first half of 2023, a decrease of $0.5 million. The decrease in net (loss) income adjusted for non-cash items was primarily attributable to the increased general and administrative, offset partially by the higher revenue and gross profit described above. The use of cash for working capital items during the first half of 2024 included a $3.3 million decrease in accounts payable and other liabilities net of capital items, a $1.2 million increase in accounts receivable, a $0.4 million increase in other current assets and a $0.4 million increase in inventories. These cash flow uses were partially offset by a $0.9 million decrease in other assets. The cash used for working capital items during the first half of 2023 included a $1.7 million increase in other assets, a $1.0 million increase in other current assets, a $0.9 million increase in inventories and a $0.5 million increase in accounts receivable. These were partially offset by a $1.2 million decrease in accounts payable and other liabilities net of capital items.

Previous wording

The increase in accounts receivable during both periods was mainly due to the increase in revenue during for each period. This increase was greater during the three-month period of 2023 when the revenue was growing at a higher rate and increased revenue attributable to sales-type leases was included, which resulted in higher lease receivables (of which the long-term portion is included in other assets versus accounts receivable) and to the biomedical master services agreement described above, a part of which increased the related contract asset (which is included in other current assets versus accounts receivable). Revenue increased in the three-month period of 2024, but at a lower rate than the three-month period of 2023, largely resulting in an increased accounts receivable balance. Accounts payable and other liabilities net of capital items decreased by $1.1 million during the three-month period of 2024 and increased $0.3 million during the three-month period of 2023, representing a $1.4 million unfavorable cash flow swing, mainly due to an increase in the amount paid in 2024 for the 2023 short-term incentive bonus plan as compared to the amount paid in 2023 for the 2022 short-term incentive bonus plan. The increase in inventories during 2023 reflected the higher revenue growth during that period. The decrease in other assets was due to lower long-term lease receivables due to customer payments received and a decrease in the amount of equipment sales on leases during 2024 as compared to 2023.

Current wording

The increase in accounts receivable during both periods was mainly due to the increase in revenue during each period. This increase was greater during the first half of 2023 when the revenue was growing at a higher rate and increased revenue attributable to sales-type leases was included, which resulted in higher lease receivables (of which the long-term portion is included in other assets versus accounts receivable) and to the biomedical master services agreement described above, a part of which increased the related contract asset (which is included in other current assets versus accounts receivable). Revenue increased in the first half of 2024, but at a lower rate than the first half of 2023, largely resulting in an increased accounts receivable balance. Accounts payable and other liabilities net of capital items decreased by $3.3 million during the first half of 2024 and decreased $1.2 million during the first half of 2023, representing a $2.1 million unfavorable cash flow swing, mainly due to an increase in the amount paid in 2024 for the 2023 short-term incentive bonus plan as compared to the amount paid in 2023 for the 2022 short-term incentive bonus plan. The increase in inventories during 2023 reflected the higher revenue growth during that period. The decrease in other assets was due to lower long-term lease receivables due to customer payments received and a decrease in the amount of equipment sales on leases during 2024 as compared to 2023.

Previous wording

Investing Cash Flow. Net cash used in investing activities was $0.4 million for the three-month period of 2024 compared to $3.1 million for the three-month period of 2023, a decrease of $2.6 million. The decrease was due to a decrease totaling $2.6 million in cash used to purchase medical equipment and other property and equipment during the three-month period of 2024 compared to the three-month period of 2023. Purchases of medical equipment were lower during 2024 compared to 2023 because a higher portion of the revenue growth in 2024 came from biomedical services that do not require capital equipment purchases.

Current wording

Investing Cash Flow. Net cash used in investing activities was $7.1 million for the first half of 2024 compared to $5.4 million for the first half of 2023, an increase of $1.7 million. The increase was due to an increase totaling $1.8 million in cash used to purchase medical equipment and other property and equipment during the first half of 2024 compared to the first half of 2023. Purchases of medical equipment were higher during 2024 compared to 2023 because a higher portion of the revenue growth in 2024 came from rental revenues that require capital equipment purchases.

Current report — wording carried from elsewhere

During the first half of 2024, the Company recorded a provision for income taxes totaling $0.4 million on a slight amount of pre-tax income. During the first half of 2023, the Company recorded a benefit from income taxes totaling $0.1 million on a slight amount of pre-tax income. These amounts differed from the U.S. statutory amounts mainly due to the effects of local, state and foreign jurisdiction income taxes, limitations on the deductions of certain expenses including meals and entertainment expense and management compensation and differences between expense recognized for book purposes versus tax purposes associated with equity compensation expense. The impact of permanent differences weighs heavier on the effective tax rate when pre-tax earnings are close to break even.
