Now I would like to turn the call over to Rockwell Medical's President and CEO, Dr. Mark Strobeck. Mark Strobeck Thank you, Heather. Good morning and thank you for joining us today for Rockwell Medical's first-quarter 2025 earnings conference call and webcast. As we discussed back in March, the first quarter was going to be a transition period for Rockwell. During the first quarter, we continued to diversify our customer base with some of the leading regional, national, and global hemodialysis providers and health systems. We remain a preferred provider as a result of our continued reliability, high-quality products, and customer-centric approach, and have signed a number of new contracts during this period. Our business in the first quarter performed according to plan, with revenue and gross profit in line with our expectations for the year. In addition, we continue to consolidate and further automate our manufacturing operations to reduce expenses and sustain our gross margin, which was also within our guidance range for the year. As for our largest customer, we continue to work with them to find ways to support their business going forward. Although we have not entered into a new agreement, we are still in active discussions with them about terms for potential contract extension. One area that we are closely monitoring is the recent cyber attack that occurred in our industry. As you may know, last month, our largest customer announced a company-wide ransomware incident impacting certain elements of its network. We were notified by our customer of this cyber attack and immediately disconnected all systems that were connected to their organization to prevent any potential impact of our own IT infrastructure. We are actively monitoring our network and have not experienced any direct implications to or impact on our systems to-date. Another area that we are closely monitoring is tariffs. Rockwell Medical's hemodialysis concentrates are manufactured right here in America and have been since the company was founded nearly 30 years ago. Approximately 90% of our revenue comes from dialysis providers within the United States. 10% is generated ex-U.S., of which, only one country is directly impacted by the recent U.S. tariff actions. This equates to a negligible amount of our total annualized revenue. Because we manufacture our products in the United States, we can manage our own supply chain and nimbly respond to real-world demand. While we do source a few supplies from outside the United States, we do not anticipate tariffs to impact our costs on those supplies. In the first quarter, we added a single-use bicarbonate cartridge technology to our portfolio of hemodialysis concentrates products. The addition of this bicarb cartridge to our portfolio represents an exciting opportunity for us to diversify our offering and address one of the fastest-growing segments within the dialysis products market. We officially launched this new product in February and are starting to see some traction with our customers. We continue to be very active in pursuing business development opportunities. We are seeking transactions that can further strengthen our position in the renal market and will provide access to new markets either through product acquisitions or international expansion. These opportunities are intended to be revenue-generating, immediately accretive to our business. We are engaged in due diligence on a number of opportunities and are looking for just the right one that meets our growth targets and objectives. We hope to have more to say on this in the coming quarters. Rockwell remains a leading supplier that has the scalability to manufacture and deliver to the more than 12,000 individual purchasing facilities, including outpatient dialysis clinics and hospitals in the U.S., along with select international markets. We are reiterating our projected guidance for 2025 with net sales between $65 million and $70 million, gross margin between 16% and 18%, and adjusted EBITDA between a negative $500,000 and a positive $500,000. Now I will turn the call over to Jesse to review our first-quarter 2025 financial results in further detail. Jesse? Jesse Neri Thank you, Mark. Good morning, everyone. I will now review our first quarter 2025 financial results in greater detail. Net sales for the first quarter were $18.9 million, representing a 17% decrease over net sales of $22.7 million for the same period in 2024. The decrease in net sales was driven by our largest customer transitioning to another supplier. This customer agreed to a one-time non-refundable payment of $900,000 to ensure continuity of supply for products purchased during the first quarter. Gross profit for Q1 2025 was $3 million, which was in line with gross profit for the same period in 2024. Gross margin for Q1 2025 was 16%, representing an increase from 14% for the same period in 2024. Net loss for Q1 2025 was $1.5 million, which represents an improvement over a net loss of $1.7 million for the same period in 2024. Adjusted EBITDA for Q1 2025 was a negative $400,000. Seasonal items associated with payroll tax and other public company-related expenses historically incurred in Q1 drove our adjusted EBITDA to be slightly negative. Cash, cash equivalents, and investments available for sale at March 31, 2025, was $17.3 million, compared to $21.6 million at December 31, 2025. The decrease was driven by timing of payments and collections and seasonal items historically incurred in the first quarter. Now I'll turn the call back over to Mark. Mark Strobeck Thank you, Jesse. Operator, please open the phone lines for any questions. Operator (Operator Instructions) Ram Selvaraju, H.C. Wainwright. Raghuram Selvaraju Hi. Thanks so much for taking my questions and congrats on the performance not so far in the quarter in line with your previously reported guidance. I was wondering if you could firstly give us some sense on the following two aspects. First and foremost, with regard to the negotiations that are ongoing with your largest historical customer, kind of give us a sense of some scenarios that could ultimately arise from those negotiations. In other words, would there be a scaled down contractual commitment by this customer? Could the customer still elect to diversify away from Rockwell entirely? Or would there conceivably be a situation in which the customer continued to order from Rockwell at levels comparable to those seen in the past? And then secondly, if you could give us a sense of any kind of directionality with regard to top line revenue cadence for the remainder of 2025? And if you have visibility at this point as to which of the remaining three quarters of the year are likely to be the weakest with respect to revenue? Thank you. Mark Strobeck Thank you, Ram. Let me address the first of your questions. So the discussions that we have ongoing right now with our largest customer are to continue to maintain some level of service to them for the future going forward. It will likely be at a much smaller scale than we have done previously. But I think from the way that we're looking at it is we have a good relationship with them, we're a strong supplier of their organization, and so we're looking to put in place a longer term arrangement that will maintain some supply as well as provide them some supply for their -- they have safety stock that they have that we would be looking to replenish. So that's the extent of the relationship that we're currently negotiating with them. As it relates to revenue going forward, I think it's tough to predict that in the sense of we're in the process right now of finding additional customers, bringing on new customers. And some of those are going to be incredibly meaningful. So we're really not in a position today to be able to provide that level of guidance. I think it's safe to say, we feel really confident in the guidance that we've provided and feel good that there is a strong possibility that we will be able to improve that. Jesse, I don't know if you have anything further to say. Jesse Neri Mark, I think that's right. I mean, the way things are looking right now, I would say, Q2 is probably going to be the low point for the year and then build from there. But to Mark's point, it's still a little bit early to say. Raghuram Selvaraju Okay. And then if you could comment on any emergent dynamics or anything in respect to the at-home dialysis market and the specific product offerings that you've brought (technical difficulty)? Thank you. Mark Strobeck The at-home market, I would say, is continuing to progress as we've expected. From our vantage point today, it will certainly be a part of the path to delivering treatment. It's not a large part today, but it's certainly one that continues to grow. Our product offering that we've put together for the at-home market is now beginning to start to -- we're starting to increase sales of that product. And we suspect that there will be more coming through the remainder of the year. The nice part for us about that product offering, not only as it significantly improves, our patient is able to administer the dialysis treatment at home by using product types that are much more manageable for the patient, but it's also a much higher margin product for us. And so we're looking to see that begin to grow here in the second half of the year. Raghuram Selvaraju Great. Thank you very much. Operator Jeremy Pearlman, Maxim Group. Jeremy Pearlman Good morning. Thank you for taking my questions. First, maybe if you could expand any more information on your international market expansion on the West Coast? Where you see the opportunities there and how is that progressing? Mark Strobeck We continue to expand our business, what we call sort of internationally. But it's primarily in Latin America. That's a big opportunity for us and one that we continue to see an opportunity for us to provide products to those emerging dialysis centers. And a lot of our growth continues to be within that region. Again, it's advantageous for us. We aren't responsible for the distribution of those products. That's taken on by the customer. And so that turns out to be a good piece of business for us. As far as expansion into the western portion of the United States, we still believe that that's a good opportunity. We still believe that based on our data, that is largely being supported by one manufacturer. And so we think there's an opportunity there. We're still trying to determine what's the sort of the best approach for us to take to enter into that West Coast market. We've developed now critical mass as it relates to customers out in the West. So with that in hand, it likely makes more sense for us to contemplate establishing a facility out in the West. But we haven't made any final determinations yet on how to best do that. But it's certainly an area that we think is a ripe opportunity for us to expand. Jeremy Pearlman Understood. And then maybe if you could just help us, I know the loss of the largest customer was a little bit of a setback and you're trying to mitigate that by taking on new customers, how much of that revenue do you think you could take on? Are there enough in the small independent dialysis providers that you'd be able to pick up and to cover most of that expense, the the lost revenue? How are you looking at that? Mark Strobeck We think there is. And it's in the areas likely that you've just discussed. And I would add to that, within our own existing footprint today, there's still a significant number of customers that exist that don't currently purchase Rockwell products that could. So our commercial efforts are focused, A, to expand our customer base within our existing footprint; B, to expand our customer base internationally within Latin America primarily; and then third will be to continue to further penetrate into the West. We believe that there's an opportunity there that is large enough that would allow us to replace a significant portion of the revenue that we lost. Jeremy Pearlman Okay. Understood. And then just last question, I just want to make sure, I think I heard this as part of an answer to another question, the revenue guidance that you're reaffirming today, that's as your customer base stands now? And then if any other customers you may sign on as the year goes on, that could just be potential upside? Or are there any customers that you assume or you're able to get baked into that guidance? Mark Strobeck No. So this is based on our current customer base today. And so any new customer would add to that. So there would be potential upside there. Jeremy Pearlman Okay. Great. Thank you for taking my questions. Have a nice day. Operator There are no further questions. This concludes today's conference call and webcast. You may now disconnect.

Rockwell Medical Announces First Quarter 2025 Results
WIXOM, Mich.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 12, 2025-- Rockwell Medical, Inc. (the 'Company') (Nasdaq: RMTI), a healthcare company that develops, manufactures, commercializes, and distributes a portfolio of hemodialysis products to dialysis providers worldwide, today announced financial and operational results for the three months ended March 31, 2025. 'During the first quarter, we continued to diversify our customer base with some of the leading regional, national and global hemodialysis providers and health systems. We remain a preferred provider as a result of our continued reliability, high-quality products, and customer-centric approach,' said MarkStrobeck, Ph.D., Rockwell Medical's President and CEO. 'Additionally, we continued to consolidate and further automate our manufacturing operations to reduce expenses and sustain our gross margin despite our largest customer moving away from Rockwell Medical. We look forward to sharing more updates in the months ahead.' FIRST QUARTER 2025 FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS FIRST QUARTER 2025 OPERATING HIGHLIGHTS GUIDANCE Rockwell confirms its 2025 annual guidance as follows: CONFERENCE CALL AND WEBCAST DETAILS Date: Monday, May 12, 2025 Time: 8:00am ET Live Number: (888) 660-6347 // (International) 1 (929) 201-6594 Conference Call ID: 4944610 Webcast and Replay: Speakers: Format: Discussion of first quarter 2025 financial and operational results followed by Q&A. NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES To supplement Rockwell Medical's unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets, which are prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ('GAAP'), this press release also includes references to adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure that is defined as net income (loss) before net interest income (expense), net other income (expense), income tax expenses (benefit), depreciation and amortization, impairment charges, stock-based compensation expense, and other items that are considered unusual or not representative of underlying trends of our business, including but not limited to one-time severance costs, deferred revenue and inventory reserve amounts, if applicable for the periods presented. The Company has provided a reconciliation of net loss, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, to adjusted EBITDA. In addition, this press release includes a reference to adjusted EPS, a non-GAAP financial measure that is defined as adjusted EBITDA divided by the weighted average number of shares outstanding. The Company has also provided a reconciliation to EPS, or net income divided by the weighted average number of shares outstanding, which is the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. Each of these adjusted measures is a non-GAAP financial measure. The Company has provided reconciliations to the GAAP measures at the end of this press release. Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EPS are key measures used by Rockwell Medical to understand and evaluate operating performance and trends, to prepare and approve its annual budget, and to develop short- and long-term operating plans. The Company provides adjusted EBITDA because it believes the metric is helpful in highlighting trends in its operating results because it excludes items that are not indicative of Rockwell Medical's core operating performance. In particular, the Company believes that the exclusion of the items eliminated in calculating adjusted EBITDA provide useful measures for period-to-period comparisons of Rockwell Medical's business. This is also true for adjusted EPS, which is derived from adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EPS should not be considered in isolation of, or as an alternative to, measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. Other companies, including companies in the same industry, may calculate similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures differently or may use other measures to evaluate their performance, all of which could reduce the usefulness of adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EPS as tools for comparison. There are a number of limitations related to the use of these non-GAAP financial measures rather than the most directly comparable financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. When evaluating the Company's performance, you should consider adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EPS alongside other financial performance measures, including net loss, EPS and other GAAP results.

Release Date: March 20, 2025 For the complete transcript of the earnings call, please refer to the full earnings call transcript. Rockwell Medical Inc (NASDAQ:RMTI) achieved over $100 million in net sales for 2024, marking a significant milestone. The company improved its gross margin to 17% and achieved profitability on an adjusted EBITDA basis for the first time. Rockwell Medical Inc (NASDAQ:RMTI) successfully reduced fixed overhead costs by over $2 million annually through strategic contract terminations. The company expanded its product portfolio and customer base, including a significant distribution agreement with Nipro Medical Corporation. Rockwell Medical Inc (NASDAQ:RMTI) strengthened its cash position, increasing cash and investments to $21.6 million by the end of 2024. The largest customer of Rockwell Medical Inc (NASDAQ:RMTI) is transitioning to another supplier, resulting in an expected $34 million revenue loss in 2025. The company projects a decline in net sales for 2025, with guidance between $65 million and $70 million, down from 2024. Gross margin guidance for 2025 is slightly lower, between 16% and 18%, due to a reduced revenue base. The transition year of 2025 is expected to be challenging, with potential negative adjusted EBITDA. There is uncertainty regarding the outcome of ongoing discussions with the largest customer for future volume commitments. Q: Can you provide details on the revenue impact from your largest customer transitioning away and how it affects your 2025 guidance? A: (Mark Strobeck, CEO) The largest customer generated approximately $45 million in revenue, and we expect a $34 million decline in 2025 due to their transition. Our guidance does not include any potential future agreements with this customer, so any successful negotiations would be upside to our current projections. Q: Do you view 2025 as a transition year, and what are your expectations for growth in 2026? A: (Mark Strobeck, CEO) We see 2025 as a transition year but aim to return to growth within the year. We are actively pursuing new customers and business development opportunities to offset the revenue loss and drive future growth. Q: Are there any risks that other customers might also pivot away from Rockwell, and how do you plan to mitigate such risks? A: (Mark Strobeck, CEO) The decision by our largest customer was based on diversifying their supplier base, not due to any issues with our products or services. We maintain strong relationships and long-term contracts with other customers, and we are confident in our ability to continue serving them effectively. Q: How do you plan to grow the bicarbonate cartridge business in 2025, and what are your expectations for its uptake? A: (Timothy Chole, CCO) We plan to introduce the bicarbonate cartridge to our existing customer base, which should drive short-term sales. The market is gradually shifting towards machines compatible with these cartridges, providing long-term growth potential. Q: Can you elaborate on the factors affecting your gross margin guidance for 2025? A: (Jesse Neri, CFO) The gross margin guidance of 16% to 18% reflects the lower revenue base expected in 2025 compared to 2024. The removal of our largest customer, which contributed little to gross margin, should not significantly impact the overall percentage.
