What Went Well and What Went Wrong
What Went Well
- Margin and mix: Gross margin rose to 75.3% (from 69.1% YoY) driven by higher Technology Fee margins and AI-enabled processing efficiencies; Technology Fees were $3.06M and ~94% of revenue .
- Cost control and profitability trajectory: SG&A cut to $2.25M (down 35.5% YoY); Adjusted EBITDA improved to -$0.25M for the quarter and turned positive for September; “we achieved positive EBITDA for the first time in September” .
- Commercial scale: “We’ve now signed 3 of the largest GPO networks, providing us access to more than 90% of hospitals in the U.S.” and are expanding pilots beyond cardiology, plus Canada distribution to begin contributing revenue in coming quarters .
What Went Wrong
- Liquidity and leverage: Going concern flag persists with working capital deficit and elevated interest expense ($0.75M in Q2); term loan covenant non-compliance required forbearance/waivers and added warrants/exit fee .
- Equity and dilution: Conversions and preferred deemed dividend impacts earlier in FY25 drove elevated net loss to common in Q1 (-$6.95M); share count increased materially through conversions and issuances .
- Listing risk and market access: Nasdaq delisting in August 2024 to OTCQB under BTCY symbol; heightens financing risk and investor base constraints .

Earnings Call Themes & Trends
Management Commentary

- CFO: “Flat fee revenue grew ~34% YoY; Technology Fees rose 12.2% YoY to just under $3.1M… signed 3 of the largest GPO networks, providing access to more than 90% of hospitals in the U.S.” .
- CFO: “Adjusted EBITDA improved to negative $249,000 for the quarter… positive adjusted EBITDA for September 2024 for the first time in history” .
- CEO on inventory: “We have everything we need in-house now to get to our profitability point… if we sell all those units, we’ll be well into the profit category” .
Q&A Highlights
- Predictive AI impact: Focused on early detection of complex arrhythmias (AFib, VTach, heart blocks) to accelerate interventions and reduce system costs (e.g., stroke avoidance), improving device turns and patient outcomes .
- SG&A optimization: Efficiency from economies of scale, bifurcated salesforce/account management, and refocusing reps on larger GPO-oriented deals drove sustainable SG&A reduction .
- Inventory strategy: Largest inventory order supports both new customer growth and migrations to Biocore Pro; positioned for a clear path to profitability .
- Canada revenue: Distribution partnerships active; revenue expected to begin in the next couple of quarters .
- Adjacent specialties: Pulmonology sleep studies with cardiac risk screening and neurology partnerships already generating revenue; validating strategic expansion theses .
Estimates Context
- S&P Global consensus estimates were unavailable at time of retrieval due to request limits; therefore, comparisons to Wall Street revenue/EPS/EBITDA estimates for Q2 FY25 cannot be provided reliably.
- Given recurring revenue strength and margin expansion, estimate revisions likely bias upward for gross margin and downward for SG&A, while liquidity/interest expense remain key constraints to EPS trajectory .
Key Takeaways for Investors
- Margin and mix are improving: Gross margin at 75.3% with recurring Tech Fees ~94% of revenue supports a more resilient P&L profile .
- Cost discipline is sticking: SG&A down 35.5% YoY; Adjusted EBITDA near breakeven with a positive month indicates operational leverage emerging .
- Channel expansion is material: GPO access to >90% of hospitals and Biocore Pro adoption could accelerate account wins and device placements over the next 2–4 quarters .
- AI/regulatory milestones are catalysts: Planned FDA filing for the AI clinical model by mid-next year, if achieved, should enhance narrative around differentiated technology .
- Watch liquidity and debt covenants: Going concern language, heavy interest burden (~$0.75M quarterly), and modified term loan terms require close monitoring of cash generation and financing actions .
- Equity/dilution dynamics: Continued conversions and issuances have raised share count; factor this into per-share metrics and financing strategy risk .
- Near-term trading lens: Momentum on margins/recurring revenue and enterprise channel wins vs. funding risk and prior delisting should drive volatility around financing updates, AI/FDA progress, and large account announcements .
