Earnings Call Insights: Electromed, Inc. (ELMD) Q4 2025

MANAGEMENT VIEW

* James L. Cunniff, President and CEO, highlighted a record quarter and fiscal year with "our 11th consecutive quarter of year-over-year revenue and profit growth," attributing the performance to a focused strategy and strong execution. Cunniff noted, "We achieved record quarterly revenue of $17.4 million representing a robust 17% year-over-year growth which brought our net revenues for the year to $64 million, also a record. This performance was driven by growth across all key markets in the quarter. Our Core Home Care segment, 15%, Hospital Surged 60% and our Distributor Channel delivered 76% growth, fueled by strong demand from our carefully selected DME partners." He emphasized the completion of a second $5 million stock repurchase program and the inclusion of Electromed stock in the Russell 2000 and 3000 indexes. The year ended with 55 direct sales representatives and productivity per rep "exceeded $1 million per rep, which was at the high end of our target range at the beginning of the year."
* Cunniff pointed to market opportunities, stating, "We believe the hospital and DME segments can add meaningful incremental revenues and contribute to overall profitability." He also noted the "Triple Down on Bronchiectasis" campaign generating over 31,000 landing page views and the operational achievement of "0 back orders with the first pass yield of 99%." Electromed implemented a new CRM system and reached 38% of orders through their SmartOrder E-prescribe Solution in Q4.
* Bradley M. Nagel, CFO, stated, "Net revenues for Q4 grew 17.3% to $17.4 million bringing net revenues for our full fiscal year 2025 to a record $64.0 million or 17.0% growth from $54.7 million last year." Nagel reported, "Operating income this year was $9.7 million or 15.1% of net revenues compared to $6.6 million or 12.0% of net revenues last year. The growth of 46.8% in operating income was primarily due to an increase in net revenues and gross profit."

OUTLOOK

* Nagel indicated, "With strong performance in fiscal year 2025 and continued efficiency expected in fiscal year 2026, we are increasing our expectations for fiscal year 2026, Home Care revenue per rep to a range of $1 million to $1.1 million." Electromed plans to expand to as many as 61 home care sales territories across the U.S. in fiscal 2026.
* Management expects continued double-digit top-line growth, expanded operating leverage, and strong operating cash flows in the new year.

Q&A

* Kyle Royal Bauser, ROTH Capital Partners: Asked about gross margin strength and product mix; Nagel replied, "We had a really strong growth in our Home Care revenue, which is a really strong margin channel for us. And the mix within that channel was really favorable."
* Bauser: Inquired about hospital and DME revenue; Cunniff explained that investments in hospital-focused sales reps are yielding results and stated, "We feel like the hospital is a gateway for them to get used to our technology... when they get discharged, hopefully, we get the prescription for them to then use it at home."
* Bauser: Questioned impact of new entrants in the market; Cunniff responded that new drugs are raising disease awareness but emphasized, "The drug does not clear the airways... you need to clear the airways first."
* Bauser: Asked about the manufacturing optimization plan; Cunniff confirmed, "We don't believe it's going to really be a margin play... the play there is to expand our opportunity to grow."
* Anderson Schock, B. Riley: Asked about hospital revenue growth and future team expansion; Cunniff said, "We do expect that we're going to have better than double-digit growth in our hospital market, albeit on a much lower base than our home care space."
* Ben Hayner, Lake Street Capital Markets: Sought examples of market acceleration due to increased disease awareness; Cunniff explained that market awareness has shifted and is now "in the forefront of what people are thinking."
* Hayner: Asked about E-prescribe adoption; Cunniff said, "Once they try it, they see how it's going to benefit them personally... it's been a great benefit, I think, to the clinics that have really adopted it."
* Hayner: Queried about VA marketing efforts; Cunniff noted, "Over $1 million of our hospital revenue was generated out of VAs that we called on."
