    John Nelson's questions to TOMI Environmental Solutions (TOMZ) leadership • Q2 2025

    Question

    Inquired about several topics: the potential opportunity from reshoring pharma manufacturing to the U.S., whether customers who deferred capital expenditure projects have returned, the specific use cases for SteraMist if pending FDA approvals are granted, and any new applications being developed for the product.

    Answer

    The company sees significant opportunities from reshoring manufacturing in pharma and other industries. Some customers who deferred projects are expected to return, as indicated by increased customer deposits and deferred revenue. Regarding FDA approvals, one path is for medical devices (decon chambers) and another is a Food Contact Notification (FCN) for food safety applications like avocados. They are also internally testing new applications, such as extending the shelf life of flowers.

    John Nelson's questions to TOMI Environmental Solutions (TOMZ) leadership • Q4 2024

    Question

    Inquired about the potential impact of tariffs, the adequacy of the company's cash position, details on a planned capital raise, the reason for three returned orders, the status of an FDA ruling for the 1% solution, and any recent modifications to the SteraPak product.

    Answer

    The company does not anticipate an impact from tariffs at the moment. They plan to address cash needs with a planned capital raise of approximately $3-3.5 million via a convertible note, which they believe will be sufficient. The returned orders were an unusual event due to customer scope changes and a pulled federal grant. The timeline for the FDA ruling is uncertain due to administrative changes. The SteraPak is being marketed as is, with potential software and hardware upgrades being considered for other surface units.

    John Nelson's questions to TOMI Environmental Solutions (TOMZ) leadership • Q3 2024

    Question

    Asked a broad range of questions about the business, including the lag time between hardware and solution sales, marketing strategies for customer education, specific market applications (food suppliers, hurricane recovery, GLP-1 plants), progress on the ethylene oxide replacement market, and details on new products like the SteraMist Transport and the SIS stand-alone system.

    Answer

    Executives explained that the hardware-to-solution sales lag can be up to a year. They are focusing marketing on the food industry and using SEO/social media. They confirmed engagement in disaster recovery for hurricane-damaged plants and see potential in GLP-1 facilities. The new SIS stand-alone product was driven by customer demand and is expected to be very popular across multiple industries. They also noted that getting large customers to publicly endorse the product remains a challenge.
