RMS Medical Products Posts First Quarter 2017 Results

  • Double digit growth in revenue and adjusted EBITDA the result of accelerated sales and marketing efforts both domestically and international
  • Hosting first International Distributor Meeting in Europe
  • Continued gross margin expansion as lean initiatives come to fruition
  • Thanks Cyril Narishkin for his service as President, Interim COO and Board Director

CHESTER, NY / ACCESSWIRE / June 27, 2016 / Repro Med Systems, Inc. dba RMS Medical Products (OTCQX: REPR) today announced its financial results for the first quarter of the fiscal year ending February 28, 2017.

For the quarter ended May 31st, net revenues increased $360 thousand, or 13.7%, compared to the previous year’s Q1, led by the Company’s sales of proprietary infusion products. Net revenues for the first quarter of fiscal 2017 were $2,990,166 compared with $2,630,545 in the comparable quarter.

RMS is benefiting from recent lean manufacturing initiatives to streamline operations, which have resulted in increased capacity and decreased direct assembly labor costs, as well as the moratorium on the medical device tax. Gross profit increased 27.6% to $1,936,812, up more than $400 thousand from $1,517,859 in the comparable quarter. Gross profit margin as a percentage of net sales increased to 64.8% from 57.7% in the first quarter of 2016. Non-GAAP EBITDA increased to over $330 thousand, up from a non-GAAP EBITDA loss of $33 thousand from the comparable quarter.

As a result of consulting and professional fees related to regulatory and litigation in the quarter, the Company reported a net loss of $233,314, an increased loss compared to a loss of $64,640 in the same period last year. Excluding consulting and professional fees related to regulatory and litigation (summarized in attached tables), net income would have been $174,853 in the quarter.

In addition, effective June 24, 2016, Cyril N. Narishkin has resigned from his positions of President, Interim Chief Operating Officer and Director due to personal reasons.

“By remodeling operations, and capitalizing on growth opportunities both domestically and internationally, RMS is continuing its upward trend this year,” noted Andy Sealfon, CEO of the Company. “I’d like to thank Cyril Narishkin for his service and support over the last year. We wish him continued success going forward.” Mr. Sealfon added.

In addition to participating in several industry conferences/exhibitions over the past 6 months, RMS is excited to have hosted an International Distributor Meeting. The meeting, held in Europe, provided a forum and network for representatives from European countries to speak face-to-face about the infusion market as it stands now, developments on the horizon and positioning of RMS products within those markets. “By actively listening to distributor feedback and selectively investing in new innovations for delivery systems, I am confident that RMS will continue to be a leader in the industry,” commented Mr. Sealfon.
