Beyond Air, Inc. (XAIR)·Q3 2025 Earnings Summary
Executive Summary
- Revenue grew 34% sequentially to $1.07M and +174% YoY, driven by six new U.S. hospital starts and an improving commercial engine; EPS improved to $(0.15) vs $(0.28) in Q2 and $(0.50) YoY .
- International expansion accelerated: CE Mark in the EU (triggering a $1.0M milestone in fiscal Q4) and Australian TGA authorization; initial shipments to begin in 1H CY2025, setting up a stronger 2H FY2026 contribution .
- Gross margin remained negative due to device depreciation and one-time upgrade costs; cash burn declined to $7.6M, and management expects continued sequential revenue growth and lower burn near term .
- Catalysts and stock reaction drivers: PMA supplement filing for the next-gen transport-capable LungFit PH, potential U.S. cardiac surgery label expansion, and the start of international shipments; management plans to reintroduce formal revenue guidance in June .
What Went Well and What Went Wrong
What Went Well
- Sequential revenue growth and an expanding U.S. customer base: “We expect to continue generating double digit sequential quarterly revenue growth for the foreseeable future” .
- Regulatory momentum and monetization: EU CE Mark approval and Australian TGA authorization, with a $1M milestone from Getz and future double-digit royalties .
- Commercial execution improvements and partnerships: 6 new hospital starts and signed partnerships with Healthcare Links, TrillaMed, and Middle East distributors to widen access and accelerate adoption .
What Went Wrong
- Gross margin headwinds: cost of revenue exceeded revenue due to roughly $0.3M one-time device upgrade costs and ~$0.5M non-cash depreciation of devices not yet deployed .
- Elevated other expense: $2.4M vs $0.3M YoY, driven mainly by non-cash loss on extinguishment of debt (Avenue Capital) .
- Continued operating losses despite cost reductions: operating expenses at $10.7M and net loss of $13.3M, though YoY improvements are evident .

Management Commentary
- “We expect to continue generating double digit sequential quarterly revenue growth for the foreseeable future” — Steve Lisi, CEO .
- “Receiving CE Mark triggered a $1 million milestone payment from Getz Healthcare, our Asia Pacific distribution partner, which we will receive in the March quarter.” — Steve Lisi .
- “Net cash burn in the quarter was $7.6 million… We anticipate cash burn to continue the trend lower in the March quarter… due to the one-time costs required to complete the submission of our next-generation LungFit PH to FDA.” — Doug Larson, CFO .
- “The most important thing is the culture shift and our ability to have superior customer service… the machine is performing beautifully.” — Steve Lisi on commercial improvements .
Q&A Highlights
- CE Mark revenue timing: Minimal impact in March quarter, modest in June, ramping in September/December as shipments begin; shipments start in 1H CY2025 .
- Expenses and burn: OpEx trending down; expect lower burn in March quarter though less steep due to next-gen submission costs .
- Guidance: Formal revenue guidance to be reintroduced in June; management reiterated confidence in momentum without pre-announcing specifics .
- U.S. vs. international mix: Too early to gauge; guidance likely on total worldwide revenue; international rollout varies by country/regulatory timing .
- Contracting cadence: Limited seasonality; timing remains “chunky”; typical contract starts within 30–60 days, with occasional longer deferrals due to existing commitments .
- Debt structure: ~$11M outstanding with payments starting Oct 2026 via 8% royalty on net sales; company-friendly terms .
Estimates Context
- S&P Global consensus estimates were unavailable at time of analysis due to data access limits; comparisons vs Street consensus cannot be provided here (SPGI request limit exceeded). Management noted “the Street is around $4 million” for FY2025 revenue during Q&A, but did not confirm or endorse specific numbers .
Key Takeaways for Investors
- Sequential momentum is intact and accelerating, with Q3 revenue +34% QoQ and YoY improvement; watch for continued double-digit sequential growth in March and June quarters .
- International catalysts are material: CE Mark and Australian TGA authorization unlock shipments starting 1H CY2025, with a $1M milestone in fiscal Q4 and future royalties supporting cash runway .
- Near-term margin headwinds are transitory: depreciation on not-yet-deployed devices and one-time upgrade costs pressured gross margin; as deployment increases, margin trajectory should improve .
- Operating discipline is gaining traction: cash burn fell to $7.6M, with further declines expected next quarter; cash and equivalents of $10.9M plus milestone and royalty inflows extend runway into spring 2026 .
- Regulatory milestones to watch: PMA supplement submission for transport-capable LungFit PH and progress on U.S. cardiac surgery label; either would be meaningful for adoption and market share .
- Partnerships broaden access: Healthcare Links and TrillaMed open GPO/IDN and VA/DoD channels; Middle East distributors and Getz Healthcare underpin ex-U.S. scale-up .
- Set up for guidance in June: Formal revenue guidance to be provided at FY2025 year-end call; monitor international ramp and U.S. hospital additions as key inputs .
