Key Financial Metrics

Material Changes vs. Prior Period

• Revenue Growth: Revenue increased 14.7% year-over-year in Q2 2025, driven by a 11.1% increase in ventilator rental revenue and a 29.0% increase in equipment and supply sales.
• Profitability: Net income attributable to Viemed increased 115.1% year-over-year to $3.2 million. Operating income rose 40.9% to $5.1 million.
• Margin Compression: Gross margin declined slightly to 58.3% from 59.8% in the prior year, attributed to a changing revenue mix with higher proportions of lower-margin sales and services.
• Expense Increases: Stock-based compensation rose 44.5% to $2.3 million due to expanded equity incentive programs. SG&A expenses increased 8.7% primarily due to higher employee headcount (up 12.2% year-over-year).
• One-Time Items: The prior year included a $0.9 million impairment of a litigation receivable related to Vyaire Medical's bankruptcy, which did not recur in 2025. Conversely, the current period included a $3.0 million gain on disposal of property and equipment (ventilator buybacks) compared to $0.3 million in the prior year.

Guidance, Outlook, and Risks

• Acquisition Activity: On July 1, 2025 (subsequent to period end), the company completed the acquisition of Lehan's Medical Equipment for a base price of $26 million, funded by $18 million in new debt and cash on hand. This is expected to increase interest expense in the remainder of 2025.
• Regulatory Environment: The CMS finalized a new National Coverage Determination (NCD) on June 9, 2025, establishing medical necessity criteria for noninvasive positive pressure ventilation. Management notes this may materially impact patient access and reimbursement.
• Share Repurchases: The Board authorized a new share repurchase program in June 2025 for up to 1.98 million shares. The company repurchased 270,061 shares in Q2 2025.
• Risks: Key risks include potential reductions in Medicare reimbursement rates, supply chain disruptions, and new tariffs on imported goods which could increase equipment costs. The company remains compliant with all debt covenants under its 2022 Senior Credit Facilities.

Investor Verification Checklist

• Reimbursement Impact: Verify the specific financial impact of the new CMS NCD on ventilator coverage finalized in June 2025.
• Acquisition Integration: Monitor the integration progress and financial contribution of the newly acquired Lehan's Medical Equipment.
• Debt Covenants: Confirm continued compliance with the Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio (max 2.50:1.0) and Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (min 1.25:1.0) following the new debt issuance for the Lehan's acquisition.
• Margin Trends: Track whether gross margins stabilize as the revenue mix shifts toward higher-margin rental services versus lower-margin sales.
• Working Capital: Review accounts receivable aging, noting that 28% of receivables are due from Medicare, to assess collection risks.
