*This table represents Non-GAAP adjusted net revenues. See reconciliation to GAAP table below.

Net revenues for the fourth quarter of 2021 were $6.5 million, compared with $4.1 million in the prior-year period, a 60% increase. Adjusting for net inventory stocking of $1.0 million last year, net revenues grew 27.6%, reflecting growth in all areas of the Company's business; domestic core growth driven by pumps and consumables, international driven by consumables and increased novel therapies revenues from expansion of its pipeline.

Gross margin was 59.0% for the fourth quarter of 2021, an increase from prior year of 56.6%. The majority of the increase was driven by a mid-year price increase.

Total operating expenses for the fourth quarter of 2021 were $5.9 million, compared to $3.5 million for the same period in 2020. The increase in operating expenses is due to strategic investments in commercialization, quality and regulatory, and research and development.

Net loss for the fourth quarter of 2021 was $1.1 million, or $(0.02) per diluted share, compared with a net loss of $0.8 million, or $(0.02) per diluted share for the same period in 2020. Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter of 2021 was $(0.6) million, compared with $(0.3) million in the fourth quarter of 2020. On a non-GAAP basis, adjusted diluted earnings per share was $(0.02) per diluted share in both periods.

2021 Full Year Financial Results

Net revenues for 2021 were $23.5 million, 2.8% lower compared with $24.2 million in the prior year. On an adjusted basis, net revenues were lower by 1.6%. The shortfall was driven by lower year-over-year novel therapies revenues due to a large clinical trial order in 2020. Domestic core net revenues for 2021 were 0.8% higher than last year mostly driven by price in the second half of the year and international core net revenues were up 14.5% compared to the previous year, driven by growth in key customers.

Gross margin was 58.6% in 2021 compared to 61.8% in 2020. The decrease was primarily driven by the delay in the transition to a secondary manufacturing source.

Total operating expenses increased 28.5%, or $4.6 million compared to last year. The increase was primarily driven by investments associated with building the Company's leadership and extended team, commercialization and regulatory efforts, and research and development.

Net loss for the full year 2021 was $4.6 million, or $(0.10) per diluted share, compared with a net loss of $1.2 million, or $(0.03) per diluted share for the same period in 2020. Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA for the full year 2021 was $(1.8) million, compared with $3.7 million for the same period in 2020. On a non-GAAP basis, adjusted diluted earnings per share was $(0.07) for the full year 2021, compared with $0.02 diluted earnings per share for the same period in 2020.

The Company ended the year with $25.3 million of cash and believes it has sufficient resources to execute its strategic plan over the next several years.

Assumptions and Outlook for Full Year Fiscal 2022

KORU Medical's outlook for fiscal year 2022 reflects numerous assumptions that could affect its business, based on the information management has as of this date, which includes assumptions regarding the continued recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic related to new SCIg patient starts, plasma supply, clinical trial activity, and supply chain impacts. Management will discuss its outlook and several of its assumptions on its fourth fiscal quarter 2021 earnings call.

For fiscal year 2022, KORU Medical expects the subcutaneous immunoglobulin (SCIg) market to recover and grow high single digits. Assuming this market growth holds, the Company expects revenue growth in the low to mid double digits, or $26.0 to $27.0 million on a full year basis. Gross margin will be impacted by the supplier transition, which the Company estimates will be completed in the third quarter of 2022 and expects to exit the year at a 60% run rate. The Company expects operating expenses to increase to roughly $27.0 to $28.0 million for full year 2022 in support of the strategic plan, including investments in building the team, research and development and commercialization efforts supporting new product introductions, novel therapies pipeline expansion, and SCIg market penetration.

Conference Call and Webcast Details

The Company will host a live conference call and webcast to discuss these results and provide a corporate update on Wednesday, March 2, 2022, at 4:30 PM ET.

To participate in the call, please dial [phone] (domestic) or [phone] (international) and provide conference ID 13726808. The live webcast will be available on the Events & Presentations page of the Investors section of KORU Medical's website.

Early Order/Inventory Stocking. For the quarter, we included the effect of an early order and covid related inventory stocking in calculating our non-GAAP measure. We had an early order from our largest distributor in the three months ended September 30, 2020, which would have otherwise been placed in the three months ended December 31, 2020, as well as higher purchases in the first half of the year that we believe would have been made in the second half of 2020, had it not been for the pandemic. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2020, we excluded what we believe to have been inventory stocking purchased in the first half of the year, had it not been for the pandemic.

*Numbers presented are rounded to the nearest whole cent

Reorganization Charges. We have excluded the effect of reorganization charges in calculating our non-GAAP measures. We incurred significant expenses in connection with the departure and replacement of our chief executive officer and the recruiting of two new board members, which we would not have otherwise incurred in periods presented as part of our continuing operations.

Discontinued Product Expense. We have excluded the effect of expenses related to a discontinued product line in calculating our non-GAAP measures. We did not incur any related expense in 2021.

Litigation. We have excluded litigation expenses in calculating our non-GAAP measures. Litigation expenses in 2020 included professional fees associated with our litigation with EMED, which discontinued as a result of the settlement on May 20, 2020.

Manufacturing Initiative Expenses. We have excluded the effect of expenses related to creating manufacturing efficiencies, in calculating our non-GAAP measures. We incurred expenses in connection with these initiatives which we would not have otherwise incurred in periods presented as part of our continuing operations. We expect to incur related expenses for the next six to nine months.

Stock-based Compensation Expense. We have excluded the effect of stock-based compensation expense in calculating our non-GAAP measures. We record non-cash compensation expense related to grants of options for executives, employees and consultants, and grants of common stock to our board of directors and our CEO. Depending upon the size, timing and the terms of the grants, the non-cash compensation expense may vary significantly but will recur in future periods. Adjusted EBITDA for the twelve months ended December 31, 2021 included stock-based compensation expense of $0.4 million related to the departure and replacement of our chief executive officer. This expense is the only amount included in Stock-based Compensation Expense in calculating Adjusted Diluted EPS.
