Insights

Financial Analyst

The Q3 results show mixed signals. While the $7.0M revenue represents a 10% YoY growth, the company's net loss widened significantly to $6.7M from $0.5M last year. The 72.3% gross margin is impressive, exceeding management's target range of 65-70%.

Key concerns include rising operating expenses, up 21% YoY to $12.5M and cash burn of $5.2M in the quarter. However, with $77.8M in liquidity, the company has approximately 15 quarters of runway at current burn rates. The diagnostics segment shows promise with 38% growth, while capital equipment sales increased 21%, potentially indicating future consumables growth.

Market Research Analyst

The veterinary health market positioning shows promise but faces challenges. The international expansion with CE Mark approval for TRUVIEW opens significant market opportunities in Europe and beyond. The revenue mix is heavily skewed toward therapeutics ($6.5M) versus diagnostics ($0.5M), indicating room for growth in the diagnostic segment.

The 68% contribution from consumables demonstrates a solid recurring revenue base. However, the increasing operating expenses and R&D investments suggest a strategic focus on long-term growth over near-term profitability. The company's ability to maintain high margins while pursuing expansion will be important for future success.

ANN ARBOR, MI / ACCESSWIRE / November 7, 2024 / Zomedica Corp. (NYSE American:ZOM) ("Zomedica" or the "Company"), a veterinary health company offering point-of-care diagnostic and therapeutic products for equine and companion animals, today reported consolidated financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2024.

"We are very pleased with our performance, highlighted by record third quarter revenue and a double-digit increase compared to last year, which demonstrates that the execution of our growth initiatives has continued to pay dividends. As expected, PulseVet^® capital sales rebounded during the third quarter bolstered by a full-strength sales team in the U.S. and continued positive utilization trends among existing customers. This helped to drive strong Capital revenue growth, which we believe is a positive leading indicator of future consumable sales growth. The strength of the PulseVet line was complemented by 38% growth in our Diagnostics segment, led by the continued adoption of our TRUFORMA^® product line," commented Zomedica's Chief Executive Officer, Larry Heaton.

"During the quarter, we made significant progress internationally. With the receipt of a CE Mark for the TRUVIEW^® system, we now have broad regulatory approval to sell our entire product portfolio throughout Europe and in other countries that accept the CE Mark. Beyond that, we signed a number of promising international distribution agreements which we anticipate will accelerate the commercial adoption of our portfolio globally, including key markets throughout Europe, the Middle East, and certain geographies in Latin America. With these approvals in place, we are well positioned to leverage our international commercial infrastructure to add significant incremental revenue in 2025 and beyond.

"Based on the momentum we have created through the first three quarters of the year; we believe we are positioned to finish 2024 strong and move into 2025 from a position of strength. Supported by the strength of our balance sheet, we will continue to aggressively execute on our strategy to drive the accelerated adoption of our innovative portfolio on a global scale," concluded Mr. Heaton.
