What Went Well and What Went Wrong
What Went Well
- Double-digit top-line growth with margin expansion: revenue +17.3% YoY; gross margin 78.3% (+210 bps YoY); operating income +30.2% YoY to $3.04M .
- Direct homecare strength: revenue +14.8% to $15.4M on incremental referrals/approvals, larger direct sales team, and higher net revenue per approval .
- Strategic execution and positioning: CEO highlighted “banner year” with record revenue and profitability, progress on manufacturing optimization (capacity) and CRM deployment, and ongoing expansion of direct sales coverage and bronchiectasis awareness initiatives .
What Went Wrong
- OpEx growth matched scale-up: SG&A +17.0% YoY in Q4 to $10.28M as staffing and incentive comp grew to support higher referral volumes (kept operating leverage but limited further margin expansion) .
- Mix data granularity: Q4 disclosure gave direct homecare detail but less visibility on quarterly hospital/distributor/other; company notes quarterly timing can drive non-homecare fluctuations (context from prior quarters) .
- Guidance visibility: No formal quantitative guidance provided; investors must anchor on long-term objectives (double-digit revenue growth, operating leverage) and execution milestones rather than explicit ranges .

Q&A Highlights
- Q4 FY2025 transcript was not available in the document set as of this analysis; Q&A highlights below reflect recent recurring themes from Q2–Q3:
- Sales force strategy: deliberate pace to sustain >$1.0M revenue per rep; considering additional hospital-focused rep to capture growth .
- Reimbursement outlook: stable-to-improving; payer relations head opening new geographies; reimbursement not viewed as near-term risk .
- CRM rollout: targeted early Q1 FY2026 go-live with robust user training; intended to unify disparate systems and boost productivity .
- Macro/tariffs: U.S.-centric manufacturing/sales footprint seen as mitigating risk; monitoring supplier upstream exposure .
Estimates Context
- S&P Global consensus for Q4 FY2025: Revenue $16.506M (2 est.); EPS $0.215 (2 est.). Actuals: Revenue $17.393M; EPS $0.25 — both beats on magnitude and rate (+5.4% revenue; +$0.035 EPS) .
- Implication: Continued estimate revisions may skew upward for FY2026 if referral momentum, CRM productivity uplift, and capacity optimization sustain mid-to-high-70s gross margins and operating leverage. Values retrieved from S&P Global.
Key Takeaways for Investors
- Quality beat: Q4 topped revenue and EPS consensus on strong direct homecare execution and higher net revenue per device; margins expanded meaningfully *.
- Durable growth engine: 11 consecutive quarters of YoY revenue and operating income growth, with a measured sales force expansion and revenue/rep above $1.0M supporting scalability .
- Operational catalysts ahead: CRM go-live (early FY26) and manufacturing optimization should support throughput and sales productivity without sacrificing mid-to-high-70s gross margins .
- Cash generation and capital returns: FY2025 cash from operations $11.4M; $10.0M buybacks completed in FY2025; new $10.0M authorization adds support to TSR .
- Risk checks: SG&A growth aligns with scale-up; reimbursement stable/improving; macro/tariffs monitored with predominantly U.S. footprint .
- Trading/PM angle: Positive estimate revision risk and incremental buyback capacity may underpin shares; watch execution milestones (CRM deployment, capacity ramp) and referral trends for continued operating leverage .
