BioCorRx Inc. (BICX)·Q2 2015 Earnings Summary
Executive Summary
- No standalone Q2 2015 earnings press release (8‑K 2.02) or earnings call transcript was found; analysis is based on the Q2 2015 10‑Q and related filings. The company also furnished an investor presentation on Sept 21, 2015 without quantitative results .
- Revenue rose 92% year over year to $0.458M, driven by more patients treated and broader program distribution, but the quarter posted a $(3.77)M net loss due to a $3.64M write‑off from terminating a prior licensing agreement and replacing it with IP acquisition, plus a $0.12M sub‑license settlement loss .
- Sequentially, revenue increased 66% vs Q1 2015, but one‑time charges swung results to loss; derivative fair‑value gains partly offset expenses .
- Liquidity remains strained: current assets $0.41M vs current liabilities $3.69M (working capital deficit ≈$3.28M) and going‑concern risk persists; the company relied on $0.40M lender advances and a $0.075M convertible note in H1 2015 .
What Went Well and What Went Wrong
-
What Went Well
- Strong top‑line growth: Q2 revenue up 92% YoY to $457,780 as more patients were treated at licensed clinics and distribution expanded .
- Positive non‑cash market effects: $199,824 gain on change in derivative liabilities, and $81,866 gain on warrant liability this quarter provided partial offsets to expenses .
- Strategic IP control: Acquired complete rights to the Naltrexone implant formulation for $1.132M (cash/installments plus equity), positioning for longer‑term control of core technology .
-
What Went Wrong
- One‑time charges pressured earnings: $3.64M write‑off on termination of the prior license and $118,027 loss on sub‑license settlement drove a $(3.77)M net loss in Q2 .
- Liquidity and leverage: Current liabilities far exceeded current assets ($3.69M vs $0.41M), with advances from lenders and multiple notes outstanding, heightening going‑concern risk .
- Customer/supplier concentration: Three customers comprised 56% of Q2 revenue and Trinity Rx remained the sole supplier for the implant, increasing operational risk .

Guidance Changes
Earnings Call Themes & Trends
No Q2 2015 earnings call transcript was available. Themes below reflect MD&A commentary across prior filings.
Management Commentary
- “Sales for the three months ended June 30, 2015 were $457,780 compared with $238,008 for the three months ended June 30, 2014, reflecting an increase of 92%. The increase in sales revenue is directly related to the increase of patients treated at licensed clinics and Start Fresh Program distribution.”
- “Total operating expenses… increased… due [to] the termination of our Naltrexone implant licensing agreement and replacing the rights with an acquisition agreement and… a loss on settlement of sub‑licensing agreements, for charges of $3,639,694 and $118,027, respectively.”
- “On June 30, 2015, the Company acquired the complete rights, title and interest in the Naltrexone Implant Formulation… for an aggregate purchase price of $1,132,000.”
- “The Company’s… financial statements… raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.”

Estimates Context
- We attempted to retrieve S&P Global (Capital IQ) consensus EPS and revenue for Q2 2015 and Q1 2015 but could not obtain the data at this time; as a result, no estimate comparisons are included. Where possible, we default to company‑reported actuals from SEC filings .
Key Takeaways for Investors
- Top-line momentum is improving (Q2 revenue up 92% YoY; +66% QoQ), suggesting broader clinical adoption of the Start Fresh Program across licensed clinics .
- The strategic pivot to own core implant IP (and terminate the prior license) is a long‑term positive but created a significant non‑cash charge this quarter; investors should adjust for the $3.64M write‑off when assessing underlying trends .
- Liquidity remains the principal risk: sizeable working capital deficit, reliance on advances/convertible debt, and explicit going‑concern language warrant caution until sustainable financing or cash flow improvements materialize .
- Concentration risks persist (customer concentration and sole‑source supplier), which could create volatility in collections and supply; monitoring diversification progress is key .
- Non‑cash fair‑value gains (derivative/warrant liabilities) can materially swing reported earnings; focus on revenue growth, cash from operations, and operating expense run‑rate excluding one‑time items for core performance assessment .
- Deferred revenue has declined sharply as legacy licensing fees amortize/settlements occur (from ~$2.29M at 6/30/14 to ~$0.69M at 6/30/15), reducing a historical cushion to cash flows; rebuilding contracted backlog would help visibility .
Additional context
- No 8‑K 2.02 earnings press release or Q2 2015 call transcript was found; the company furnished an investor presentation on Sept 21, 2015 without quarterly metrics .
