Bull points
- For the first quarter of 2025, we achieved revenue of $19.5 million, which is an 11% increase over the same period last year.
- Gross profit came in at 76.1%, with earnings very strong as well, with GAAP diluted earnings per share increasing 16% from Q1 of 2024.
- Performance in the quarter was led by pump shipments, with bookings of our 3860 MRI IV pump continuing to excel in Q1.
Bear points
- If even in a horrible worst case, if Chinese tariffs should remain at 145%, our 3% cost of such high tariff parts goes to 4.35%.
- there is the threat that we already see with certain suppliers raising their pricing by using tariffs more as an excuse to gouge.
- Free cash flow, a non-GAAP measure, was $0.4 million, down from $3.4 million in Q1 2024 due to $3.9 million in capital expenditures in the quarter, of which $3.5 million was for the new facility.
