Management Discussion
Richard DiIorio, Chief Executive Officer of InfuSystem, said, "We have started the year as planned, focusing on operating efficiencies, particularly in our biomedical services business where during the first quarter we completed the initial onboarding of devices under the master services agreement with a leading global healthcare technology and diagnostic company. These efforts are working to both improve our margins and prepare our network for the incremental growth we see coming later this year."
"Biomedical services is just the first of several areas of our business seeing strong positive momentum. Oncology continues to win market share, securing incremental revenue and contribution that will contribute later this year. The pain management team is preparing for the impact of the NOPAIN Act which is expected to be implemented in 2025. Wound Care revenue related to Sanara's advanced wound care products is ramping, even as the new business opportunities with our joint-venture partner continue to expand. We remain confident in our outlook and guidance for 2024 as we continue to build off the strong fundamentals of our business," concluded Mr. DiIorio.
2024 First Quarter Financial Review
Net revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 ("2024 First Quarter") were $32.0 million, an increase of $1.6 million, or 5%, compared to $30.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 ("2023 First Quarter"). The increase included higher net revenues for the Device Solutions segment offset partially by lower revenue for the Patient Services segment.
Patient Services net revenue of $18.6 million decreased $0.2 million, or 1.0%, during the 2024 First Quarter compared to the 2023 First Quarter. This decrease was primarily attributable to decreased third-party payer collections on billings totaling approximately $0.5 million and lower revenue from sales-type leases of NPWT pumps, which decreased by $0.3 million, both of which had tough comparisons to strong prior year amounts. These decreases were partially offset by higher treatment volume in both Oncology and Wound Care.
Device Solutions net revenue of $13.4 million increased $1.8 million, or 15.6%, during the 2024 First Quarter compared to the 2023 First Quarter. This increase included higher biomedical services revenue, which increased by $1.0 million, or 31%, higher sales of medical equipment, which increased by $0.6 million, or 40% and higher rental equipment revenue, which increased by $0.3 million. These increases were partially offset by lower sales of disposable medical supplies which decreased by $0.1 million. The increased biomedical revenue was mainly attributable to increased revenue from the master services agreement that was entered into in April 2022.
Gross profit of $16.5 million for the 2024 First Quarter increased $1.5 million, or 10.2%, from $15.0 million for the 2023 First Quarter. This increase was due to the increase in net revenues and by a higher gross margin. Gross margin increased to 51.5% during the 2024 First Quarter compared to 49.2% during the 2023 First Quarter. This increase was due to increases in gross margin for both the Patient Services and Device Solutions segments.
Patient Services gross profit was $12.3 million during the 2024 First Quarter, representing an increase of $0.7 million, or 6.4%, compared to the 2023 First Quarter. The improvement reflected a higher gross margin, which increased from the prior year by 4.5% to 66.0%. The higher gross margin was the result of a change in product mix favoring higher margin revenues. These improvements were partially offset by lower third-party payer collections on billings. The favorable gross margin mix was mainly related to the decrease in revenue related to NPWT equipment leases, which have a lower average gross margin than other Patient Services revenue categories.
Device Solutions gross profit during the 2024 First Quarter was $4.2 million, representing a increase of $0.8 million, or 23.2%, compared to the 2023 First Quarter. This increase was due to the higher net revenue and due to an increase in gross margin. The Device Solutions gross margin was 31.3% during the 2024 First Quarter, which was 1.9% higher than the 2023 First Quarter. This increase was due to an improvement in the absorption of direct expenses for the master services agreement launched during 2022 and accelerated during 2023. During the 2023 First Quarter, the Company experienced an increase in labor costs related to an increase in the number of biomedical technicians and other expenses associated with the rapid on-boarding of the master services agreement. Some of the additional labor costs included training activities and other labor expenses associated with building a larger team in order to have the capacity required to support much higher planned revenue volume. Over time, higher revenue levels have begun to absorb a portion of these increased labor costs resulting in the improved gross margin. We estimate that further gross margin improvements will be gained as cost reduction and productivity improvement activities continue to be developed and deployed.
Selling and marketing expenses for the 2024 First Quarter were $3.4 million, representing an increase of $0.2 million, or 4.7%, compared to selling and marketing expenses for the 2023 First Quarter. Selling and marketing expenses as a percentage of net revenues was 10.6% for both the current and prior year periods.
G&A expenses for the 2024 First Quarter were $13.7 million, an increase of $2.1 million, or 18.2%, from the 2023 First Quarter. The increase included a one-time $0.6 million payment to a former member of the board of directors related to a Cooperation Agreement and a one-time payment to the Company's former audit firm for services related to their consent to include their prior year audit report in our 2023 annual report totaling $0.3 million. The remaining increase of $1.2 million included timing-related higher management incentive compensation and stock-based compensation expenses of $0.4 million and $0.3 million, respectively, and other increased expenses totaling $0.5 million. The other increases were associated with revenue volume growth including the cost of additional personnel, information technology and general business expenses and included inflationary increases. G&A expenses as a percentage of net revenues for the 2024 First Quarter increased to 42.8% compared to 38.1% for the 2023 First Quarter.
Net loss for the 2024 First Quarter was $1.1 million, or $(0.05) per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $0.3 million, or $(0.02) per diluted share for the 2023 First Quarter.
Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, for the 2024 First Quarter was $3.9 million, or 12.1% of net revenue, and decreased by $0.4 million, or 8.9%, compared to Adjusted EBITDA for the 2023 First Quarter of $4.2 million, or 13.9% of prior period net revenue.
Balance sheet, cash flows and liquidity
During the three-month period ended March 31, 2024, operating cash flow provided cash totaling $0.4 million. During the same period in 2023 operating cash flow was a use of cash totaling $0.2 million. The change reflected lower working capital increases during 2024 offset partially by the increase in general and administrative expenses. Capital expenditures, which include purchases of medical devices, totaled $1.7 million during the three-month period of 2024 which was $2.6 million, or 61%, lower than the amount purchased during the same prior year period reflecting slower revenue growth which was concentrated in business lines that are less capital intensive.
As of March 31, 2024, available liquidity totaled $45.4 million and consisted of $44.6 million in available borrowing capacity under the Company's revolving line of credit plus cash and cash equivalents of $0.8 million. Net debt, a non-GAAP measure (calculated as total debt of $29.9 million less cash and cash equivalents of $0.8 million) as of March 31, 2024 was $29.1 million representing an increase of $0.2 million as compared to net debt of $28.9 million as of December 31, 2023 (calculated as total debt of $29.1 million less cash and cash equivalents of $0.2 million). Our ratio of Adjusted EBITDA to net debt (non-GAAP) for the last four quarters was 1.32 to 1.00 (calculated as net debt of $29.1 million divided by Adjusted EBITDA of $22.0 million). On April 26, 2023, we amended the 2021 credit agreement in order to extend the term of the facility and to replace LIBOR with Term SOFR as a benchmark interest rate. The new expiration date of the 2021 Credit Agreement is April 26, 2028.
Full Year 2024 Guidance
InfuSystem is reaffirming its annual guidance for the full year 2024 with net revenue growth estimated to be in the high-single-digit range and forecasting Adjusted EBITDA margin (non-GAAP) to be in the high-teens, exceeding the Company's margin of 17.8% in 2023. The Company intends to update its annual guidance throughout the year.
The full year 2024 guidance reflects management's current expectation for operational performance, given the current market conditions. This includes our best estimate of revenue and Adjusted EBITDA and does not include any expenses related to planned upgrades of the Company's information technology and business applications. The Company and its businesses are subject to certain risks, including those risk factors discussed in our most recent annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, filed on April 10, 2024.

Non-GAAP Measures
This press release contains information prepared in conformity with GAAP as well as non-GAAP financial information. Non-GAAP financial measures presented in this press release include EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, net debt and Adjusted EBITDA to net debt ratio. The Company believes that the non-GAAP financial measures presented in this press release provide useful information to the Company's management, investors and other interested parties about the Company's operating performance because they allow them to understand and compare the Company's operating results during the current periods to the prior year periods in a more consistent manner. This non-GAAP information should be considered by the reader in addition to, but not instead of, the financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP, and similarly titled non-GAAP measures may be calculated differently by other companies. The Company calculates those non-GAAP measures by adjusting for non-recurring or non-core items that are not part of the normal course of business. A reconciliation of those measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures is provided in the accompanying schedule, titled "GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliation" below. Future period non-GAAP guidance includes adjustments for items not indicative of our core operations, which may include, without limitation, items included in the accompanying schedule below. Such adjustments may be affected by changes in ongoing assumptions and judgments, as well as non-core, nonrecurring, unusual or unanticipated changes, expenses or gains or other items that may not directly correlate to the underlying performance of our business operations. The exact amounts of these adjustments are not currently determinable but may be significant. It is therefore not practicable to provide the comparable GAAP measures or reconcile this non-GAAP guidance to the most comparable GAAP measures and, therefore, such comparable GAAP measures and reconciliations are excluded from this release in reliance upon applicable SEC staff guidance.
