Vivos Therapeutics, Inc. (VVOS)·Q2 2025 Earnings Summary
Executive Summary
- Q2 2025 revenue was $3.8M, up 27% sequentially from Q1 ($3.0M) but down 6% year over year due to the strategic pivot away from legacy VIP service revenue; gross margin was 55% vs 50% in Q1 and 65% in Q2 2024 .
- VVOS delivered a revenue beat and EPS miss versus Wall Street: revenue $3.82M vs $3.36M consensus (beat), EPS -$0.55 vs -$0.38 consensus (miss) as SCN integration (only ~20 days consolidated) and transaction-related costs elevated OpEx .
- The Sleep Center of Nevada (SCN) acquisition marked a model pivot, adding ~$0.5M diagnostic sleep testing revenue in just ~20 days and catalyzing a direct-to-patient pathway with capacity expansions underway (SO teams) .
- Management targets reaching cash flow positivity “sometime in the fourth quarter,” positioning SCN and new sleep-center affiliations as primary near-term catalysts .
What Went Well and What Went Wrong
What Went Well
- Strong validation of new model: “appointments booked out for weeks and less than 40% of patients currently being served,” underscoring demand; ~$500K diagnostic revenue recognized from SCN in ~20 days .
- Sequential improvement and product volume: revenue rose ~27% Q/Q to $3.8M; 4,116 arches sold in Q2, with guide sales offsetting discount impacts; SCN referrals expected to shift mix toward higher-margin product revenue .
- Execution on capacity build-out and operating model: SO teams deployed and ramping; management expects each fully operational SO team to process ~250 patients/month and generate >$0.5M monthly net collections with >50% contribution margins .
What Went Wrong
- Elevated operating expenses (+52% YoY to $7.0M) and wider operating loss (-$4.9M) driven by SCN acquisition/integration costs and professional fees; ~$700–$800K of Q2 OpEx was non-recurring .
- Gross margin declined year over year to 55% (from 65%) on pricing discounts, product/service mix shifts, and transition effects; gross profit fell to $2.1M from $2.7M YoY .
- EPS missed consensus (-$0.55 vs -$0.38) as operating cost inflation outpaced short-term revenue additions during the pivot .

Management Commentary
- “We recognized approximately $500,000 of diagnostic sleep testing services revenue over just twenty days from the June 10 closing to the end of the quarter.” — Kirk Huntsman, CEO .
- “Appointments booked out for weeks and less than 40% of patients currently being served… validates our belief in our new model.” — CEO .
- “Each fully operational SO team can process approximately 250 patients per month, potentially generating over $500,000 in monthly net collections, with contribution margins above 50%.” — CEO .
- “Operating loss widened to $4.9M… primarily due to ~$1.8M in costs associated with acquiring and integrating SCN.” — CFO .
- “We should be cash flow positive sometime in the fourth quarter.” — CEO .
Q&A Highlights
- Trajectory: Q2 revenue grew ~$800K sequentially to $3.8M; management expects growth increasingly driven by product referrals from SCN .
- OpEx composition: ~$700–$800K in non-recurring professional/transaction costs; recurring increases include ~$500K salaries and ~$300K infrastructure tied to SCN .
- SCN consolidation & contribution: Only ~20 days consolidated in Q2; ~$500K legacy sleep-center revenue recognized; capacity expansion underway .
- Recruiting & scalability: Robust labor pool enables rapid formation/training of SO teams; first regional manager hired to lead local scaling .
- Financing strategy: Management acknowledges expensive debt and seeks to lower cost of capital as predictability improves; bank facilities possible as model matures .
Estimates Context
- Q2 2025 vs consensus: Revenue $3.82M vs $3.36M consensus (beat); EPS -$0.55 vs -$0.38 (miss) as near-term integration costs outpaced limited-period SCN revenue consolidation .
- Q1 2025 vs consensus: Revenue $3.02M vs $3.67M consensus (miss); EPS -$0.45 vs -$0.40 (miss) amid VIP revenue wind-down .
- Coverage is thin (Q2 had one estimate), suggesting higher dispersion and revision sensitivity ahead as SCN ramps and PDAC-supported devices expand payer coverage. Values retrieved from S&P Global.*
Key Takeaways for Investors
- The SCN acquisition is a structural catalyst: direct access to high patient volumes with immediate diagnostic revenue and a pathway to higher-margin appliance sales; early results show ~$0.5M revenue in ~20 days and capacity-constrained demand .
- Near-term margin pressure stems from transition and integration costs; management quantified non-recurring OpEx and expects scaling economics through SO teams (>50% contribution margins per team) .
- Reimbursement momentum (VidaSleep PDAC approval) expands Medicare-accessible offerings alongside mmRNA, broadening adoption and supporting margins for providers .
- Clinical validation continues to strengthen the pediatric thesis (European Journal of Pediatrics data), a potential medium-term growth driver as pediatric programs roll out .
- Liquidity improved via debt and equity for SCN; cost of capital is high but management is pursuing lower-cost financing as the model’s predictability improves .
- Management guides to cash flow positive in Q4 2025; watch SO team deployment pace and throughput against stated per-team productivity and net collections metrics .
- Estimate dispersion likely remains elevated given low coverage; monitor revisions and beats/misses as SCN integration and additional affiliations progress. Values retrieved from S&P Global.*
