ANN ARBOR, MI / / May 15, 2025 / Zomedica Corp. (OTCQB:ZOMDF) ("Zomedica" or the "Company"), a veterinary health company offering point-of-care diagnostic and therapeutic products for equine and companion animals, today reported consolidated financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2025.
"We are pleased with our performance in the first quarter as we posted record year over year revenue for the 17th straight quarter," said Larry Heaton, President and Chief Executive Officer of Zomedica. "Bolstered by continued and robust usage of our consumable PulseVet® products, and the continued growth and adoption of our TRUFORMA® products, we were able to deliver the strongest first quarter in company history.
"Through further expansion of our portfolio, highlighted by the introduction of our new VETIGEL® product line, and the continued optimization of our commercial organization, we are seeing the positive impact in both placements and consumable usage, further supporting a foundation for recurring sales revenue in the future.
"International sales continue to grow, with sales up 32% compared to the first quarter of 2024, driven by a combination of organic growth and orders from new distributor partners. Gross margin, a key component of reaching profitability, came in at 68% compared to 66% in the first quarter of 2024.
"Based on the momentum we have created through the first quarter of the year, supported by the strength of our balance sheet, we believe that we are well positioned to aggressively execute on our strategy to drive the accelerated adoption of our innovative portfolio on a global scale," concluded Mr. Heaton.
2025 First Quarter Financial Highlights
Revenue for the first quarter of 2025 grew by 4% to $6.5 million, compared to first quarter 2024 revenue, highlighted by 13% growth in the sale of Consumables, driven primarily by accelerating adoption of our TRUFORMA line of products and the continued, strong performance of PulseVet® trodes, from both new device installations and reorders associated with existing systems.
Revenue by Product Segment:
Therapeutic Device segment revenue, comprised of our PulseVet and Assisi® products, was $5.9 million, up 8% from first quarter 2024 revenues.
Diagnostics segment revenue, comprised of our TRUFORMA®, TRUVIEW®, and VETGuardian® products, was $0.6 million, down 25% over first quarter 2024 revenues, primarily driven by large, initial distribution orders of VetGuardian products upon launching in the first quarter of last year, which did not repeat this year.
Revenue by Product Category:
Consumable revenues grew to $4.5 million, up 13% over first quarter 2024 revenues.
Capital revenues were $2.0 million, down 12% from first quarter 2024 revenues, primarily impacted by the initial distribution orders for VETGuardian products placed last year as mentioned above.
Gross margin was 68% for the first quarter of 2025.

2025 First Quarter Results Review
Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2025, was $6.5 million, compared to $6.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, an increase of $0.2 million or 4%. Highlighting the strong performance in the quarter was Therapeutics revenue growth of 8%, and Consumables revenue growth of 13% over the prior year quarter.
Cost of revenue was $2.1 million, flat to cost of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2024 on higher sales. Margins remained strong at 68%.
Operating expenses for the first quarter of 2025 include a non-cash impairment charge of $55.8 million, triggered by the decline in the Company's market capitalization, a function of the Company's share price.
Total operating expenses including this non-cash impairment charge were $69.0 million. Excluding the impairment charge, adjusted operating expenses were $13.2 million, $1.3 million or 9%, lower than the first quarter of 2024.
Research and development expenses were $1.9 million, compared to $1.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, an increase of $0.1 million or 5%, with costs related to the continued buildup of internal capabilities to develop, test, and manufacture our next generation of therapeutic and diagnostic products.
Selling and marketing expenses were $5.0 million, compared to $4.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, an increase of $0.9 million or 22%, primarily driven by the increased headcount of our sales department as we continued to build out our staff through recent hiring campaigns.
General and administrative expenses were $6.3 million, compared to $8.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, a decrease of $2.3 million or 27%, primarily driven by the non-recurrence of professional fees for specialized accounting and development work associated with acquisitions, the non-recurrence of one-time special meeting and proxy fees, and lower stock-based compensation expense.
Net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2025, includes a non-cash impairment expense of $55.8M, triggered by the decline in the Company's market capitalization, as discussed above, producing an overall net loss of $63.8 million compared to a net loss of $9.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024.
*Non-GAAP EBITDA loss (which includes adjustments for stock compensation) for the three months ended March 31, 2025, was $61.7 million compared to a loss of $7.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, which again included the impairment expense of $55.8M triggered by the decline in the Company's market capitalization.
When adjusting for the non-recurring items noted above and other non-cash items, **Adjusted Non-GAAP EBITDA loss was $5.7 million, compared to **Adjusted Non-GAAP EBITDA loss of $5.3 million for the first quarter of 2024.
Liquidity and Outstanding Share Capital
