OVERVIEW
The Company designs, manufactures and markets proprietary portable and innovative medical devices primarily for the ambulatory infusion market as governed by the United States Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”) quality and regulatory system and international standards for quality system management.
The following discussion and analysis for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes thereto included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and with our audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019 included in our 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
KORU Medical continues to monitor its operations and government recommendations and has made modifications to its normal operations because of the COVID-19 outbreak, including requiring most of its non-production related team members to work remotely or on a staggered work shift. The Company has continued to maintain a manufacturing operational capacity at its manufacturing facility located in Chester, New York, and has instituted heightened cleaning and sanitization standards and several health and safety protocols and procedures to safeguard its team members who do continue to report in person. Until the ultimate extent and duration of the pandemic is known, we cannot predict the ultimate effects the pandemic may have on our business, in particular with respect to demand for our products, our strategy, and our prospects, the effects on our customers, or the impact on our financial results. For example, our future net sales growth may be impacted due to fewer new prescriptions for individuals with Primary Immune Deficiency Disease (“PIDD”) and Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy (“CIDP”) as a result of the pandemic. Refer to “PART II – OTHER INFORMATION, ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS” of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further discussion of the potential impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business.
We ended the third quarter of 2020 with net sales of $6.1 million, down 8.1% versus the prior year’s third quarter. Our net sales were negatively impacted principally by reduced U.S. clinical trial activity and higher allowances consisting of pricing and growth rebates related to certain customers and payment discounts and distribution fees at our largest distributor under new contract terms. The third quarter of 2019 included two unusually large orders, and the third quarter of 2020 included a significant order from our largest distributor placed early in exchange for a nominal discount, which may impact our net sales for the fourth quarter of 2020.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Three months ended September 30, 2020 compared to September 30, 2019
Net Sales
The following table summarizes our net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Three Months Ended September 30, | | Change from Prior Year | | % of Sales | |
| | 2020 | | 2019 | | $ | | % | | 2020 | | 2019 | |
Sales | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Domestic | | $ | 5,372,536 | | $ | 5,856,203 | | $ | (483,667 | ) | (8.3% | ) | 88.4% | | 88.5% | |
International | | | 707,779 | | | 761,194 | | | (53,415 | ) | (7.0% | ) | 11.6% | | 11.5% | |
Total | | $ | 6,080,315 | | $ | 6,617,397 | | $ | (537,082 | ) | (8.1% | ) | | | | |
Total net sales decreased $0.5 million or 8.1% to $6.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 compared with the same period last year. Net sales decreased primarily due to reduced U.S. clinical trial activity ($0.4 million). Higher allowances consisting of pricing and growth rebates related to certain customers and payment discounts and distribution fees at our largest distributor under new contract terms and lower international sales also contributed to lower net sales in the three months ended September 30, 2020. There were two unusually large orders in the third quarter of 2019, one domestic from our largest distributor and one international. Sales in the third quarter of 2020 included a $1.0 million order from our largest distributor placed early in exchange for a nominal discount, which may impact our net sales for the fourth quarter of 2020.
Gross Profit
Our gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 is as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Three Months Ended September 30, | | Change from Prior Year | |
| | 2020 | | 2019 | | $ | | % | |
Gross Profit | | $ | 3,940,723 | | $ | 4,382,908 | | $ | (442,185 | ) | (10.1% | ) |
Stated as a Percentage of Net Sales | | | 64.8% | | | 66.2% | | | | | | |
Gross profit decreased $0.4 million or 10.1% in the three months ended September 30, 2020, compared to the same period in 2019, driven by lower net sales as described above, partially offset by favorable production variances.
Selling, general and administrative, Litigation and Research and development
Our selling, general and administrative expenses, litigation and research and development costs for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 are as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Three Months Ended September 30, | | Change from Prior Year | |
| | 2020 | | 2019 | | $ | | % | |
Selling, general and administrative | | $ | 3,075,169 | | $ | 2,441,381 | | $ | 633,788 | | 26.0% | |

Stated as a Percentage of Net Sales | | | 57.0% | | | 52.5% | | | | | | |
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $0.6 million, or 26.0%, during the three months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the same period last year, mostly due to higher salary, related benefits and recruiting fees of $0.4 million resulting from new hires in the 2020 period. Higher consulting fees related to marketing and regulatory initiatives of $0.1 million also added to the increase, as well as higher directors and officer’s insurance premiums and other miscellaneous expenses totaling $0.2 million. Offsetting these increases were lower trade show and travel expenses of $0.1 million as a result of COVID-19 related travel restrictions.
Litigation fees decreased $0.9 million during the three months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the same period last year primarily due to the negotiation of and entry into a litigation settlement agreement with EMED in May 2020.
- 19 -
Research and development expenses increased $0.2 million during the three months ended September 30, 2020 compared with the same period last year mostly due to higher consulting services and additional testing related to development initiatives.
Depreciation and amortization
Depreciation and amortization expense increased by 39.7% to $115,637 in the three months ended September 30, 2020 compared with $82,774 in the three months ended September 30, 2019. We continue to invest in capital assets, mostly related to manufacturing and computer equipment.
Net Income

| | 2020 | | 2019 | | $ | | % | |
Net Income | | $ | 249,175 | | $ | 651,813 | | $ | (402,638 | ) | (61.8% | ) |
Stated as a Percentage of Net Sales | | | 4.1% | | | 9.9% | | | | | | |
Our net income for the three months ended September 30, 2020 was $0.2 million, compared to net income of $0.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019, primarily due to lower net sales of $0.5 million with total operating expenses remaining flat for the same periods.
Nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to September 30, 2019
Net Sales
The following table summarizes our net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Nine Months Ended September 30, | | Change from Prior Year | | % of Sales | |

International | | | 2,660,016 | | | 2,631,493 | | | 28,523 | | 1.1% | | 13.2% | | 15.5% | |
Total | | $ | 20,119,228 | | $ | 16,940,487 | | $ | 3,178,741 | | 18.8% | | | | | |
Total net sales increased $3.2 million or 18.8% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 as compared to the prior year period. The increase was due principally to an increase in product sales volume, as well as higher U.S. clinical trial activity ($1.0 million). We believe the increase in product sales volume reflects an increase in continued growth in diagnosis of PIDD and CIDP. Also contributing to the increase in product sales volume was a $1.0 million order from our largest distributor placed early in exchange for a nominal discount, which may impact our net sales for the fourth quarter of 2020. Partially offsetting net sales were higher allowances consisting of pricing and growth rebates related to certain customers and payment discounts at our largest distributor under new contract terms.
Gross Profit
Our gross profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 is as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Nine Months Ended September 30, | | Change from Prior Year | |

Gross Profit | | $ | 12,638,813 | | $ | 10,906,526 | | $ | 1,732,287 | | 15.9% | |
Stated as a Percentage of Net Sales | | | 62.8% | | | 64.4% | | | | | | |
Gross profit increased $1.7 million or 15.9% in the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to the same period last year, reflecting net sales growth described above as well as favorable production variances in the third quarter of 2020. Gross profit for the nine months was negatively impacted by overtime costs related to COVID-19 absenteeism and an obsolescence reserve resulting from a discontinued product line, partially offset by favorable production variances in the third quarter of 2020.

Selling, general and administrative, Litigation and Research and development
Our selling, general and administrative expenses, litigation and research and development costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 are as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Nine Months Ended September 30, | | Change from Prior Year | |

Stated as a Percentage of Net Sales | | | 61.8% | | | 58.5% | | | | | | |
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $2.1 million, or 29.6%, during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the same period last year, mostly due to higher salary and related benefits, severance, bonus and recruiting fees in aggregate totaling $1.4 million. Also contributing to the increase were consulting fees of $0.5 million related to marketing, regulatory and strategic initiatives, as well as increased director fees and higher insurance premiums related to our directors and officers’ insurance policy in aggregate totaling $0.3 million, and miscellaneous expenses of $0.3 million. Offsetting the increase were lower trade show and travel expenses of $0.4 million as a result of COVID-19 related travel restrictions.
Litigation fees decreased $34,724 compared to the same period last year due primarily to the negotiation of and entry into a litigation settlement agreement reached with EMED in May 2020 resulting in a non-cash expense of $2.2 million.
Research and development expenses increased $0.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared with the same period last year mostly due to increased salary and related benefits due to higher headcount and additional testing as we continue our development initiatives.
Depreciation and amortization
Depreciation and amortization expense increased by 17.9% to $297,801 in the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared with $252,594 in the nine months ended September 30, 2019. We continued to invest in capital assets, mostly related to manufacturing and computer equipment.

Stated as a Percentage of Net Sales | | | (1.9% | ) | | 3.8% | | | | | | |
Our net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was $0.4 million compared to net income of $0.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, driven by the EMED settlement charge and higher selling, general and administrative expenses, partially offset by higher sales as described above.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Our principal source of liquidity is our cash on hand of $32.4 million as of September 30, 2020, which includes the net proceeds from the recent capital raise totaling $26.5 million. In response to concerns about the potential impact of COVID-19, the Company elected to draw $3.5 million during the three months ended June 30, 2020, the full amount available on its line of credit, and paid it back during the three months ended September 30, 2020. Our principal source of operating cash inflows is from sales of our products to customers. Our principal cash outflows relate to the purchase and production of inventory and related costs, selling, general and administrative expenses.

Cash Flows
The following table summarizes our cash flows:
| | | | | | | |
| | Nine Months Ended September 30, 2020 | | Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019 | |
Net cash provided by/(used in) operating activities | | $ | 968,437 | | $ | (502,014 | ) |
Net cash (used in)/provided by investing activities | | $ | (1,007,539 | ) | $ | 1,389,281 | |
Net cash provided by financing activities | | $ | 26,601,984 | | $ | 502,958 | |
Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities of $1.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was mostly attributable to non-cash charges for stock-based compensation and litigation settlement expense of $2.5 million, an increase in accounts payable, accrued expenses and accrued payroll of $2.8 million, driven by the litigation settlement with EMED, the capital raise and customer rebates. Further adding to the increase was an increase in depreciation and amortization of $0.3 million and an increase in the accrued tax liability of $0.2 million, resulting from book to tax differences related to stock option expense. Offsetting these were primarily working capital changes which include an increase in inventory of $3.2 million as we built inventory to keep pace with sales growth and to insure timely order fulfillment, an increase in accounts receivable of $0.5 million due to timing of collections, and an increase in prepaid expenses and other assets of $0.5 million relating to increased insurance premiums.
Net cash used in operating activities of $0.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was mostly attributable to increased accounts receivable of $2.1 million as one of our major customer’s payment terms changed on January 1, 2019 from net 30 to net 60 days, increased inventory of $0.6 million as we build stock to keep pace with sales growth, as well as severance payments and payments for insurance renewals. Partially offsetting these were our non-cash charges for stock based compensation of $0.9 million and depreciation and amortization of long lived tangible and intangible asset of $0.3 million, as well as increases in accounts payable of $0.4 million primarily for major supplier invoices and accrued expenses of $0.5 million primarily due to legal fees and bonus accruals.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities of $1.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was primarily for capital expenditures for research and development and strategic initiatives. Our net cash provided by investing activities of $1.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was mostly the result of the maturation of a certificate of deposit for $1.5 million and the sale of the house the Company owned for $0.2 million, offset by capital expenditures of $0.2 million, and patent applications and maintenance of existing applications of $0.2 million.
Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 of $26.6 million is from the $26.5 million capital raise, net of expenses and $0.1 million from options exercised. The $0.5 million provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 is a result of warrants and options exercised during the period.
See “NOTE 5 — DEBT OBLIGATIONS” for further detail regarding the promissory note and loan agreement, and “NOTE 8 — EQUITY” regarding the equity offering.
We believe that as of September 30, 2020, cash on hand and cash expected to be generated from future operating activities will be sufficient to fund our operations, including further research and development and capital expenditures, for the next 12 months, as well as accelerate execution of our strategic initiatives. We believe KORU Medical’s home infusion products continue to find a solid following in the subcutaneous immunoglobulin (“SCIg”) market, as well as into new markets like neurology where Hizentra® received an expanded indication for CIDP.
NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
Management of the Company believes that investors’ understanding of the Company’s performance is enhanced by disclosing non-GAAP financial measures as a reasonable basis for comparison of the Company’s ongoing results of operations. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered a substitute for GAAP-basis measures and results. Our non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to non-GAAP measures of other companies. The table below provides a disclosure of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most closely analogous measure determined in accordance with GAAP.
- 22 -
Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. They are limited in value because they exclude charges that have a material effect on our reported results and, therefore, should not be relied upon as the sole financial measures to evaluate our financial results. The non-GAAP financial measures are meant to supplement, and to be viewed in conjunction with, GAAP financial results.
We disclose and discuss Adjusted EBITDA as a non-GAAP financial measure in our public releases, including quarterly earnings releases, and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. We define Adjusted EBITDA as earnings (net income/(loss)) before interest, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization, discontinued product expense, reorganization charges, litigation expenses including stock-based settlement expense, manufacturing initiative and stock option expenses. Prior to January 1, 2020, discontinued product expense and manufacturing initiative expenses were not included in our definition of Adjusted EBITDA. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA is used by investors and other users of our financial statements as a supplemental financial measure that, when viewed with our GAAP results and the accompanying reconciliation, we believe provides additional information that is useful to gain an understanding of the factors and trends affecting our business. We also believe the disclosure of Adjusted EBITDA helps investors meaningfully evaluate and compare our cash flow generating capacity from quarter to quarter and year to year. Adjusted EBITDA is used by management as a supplemental internal measure for planning and forecasting overall expectations and for evaluating actual results against such expectations. Because management uses Adjusted EBITDA for such purposes, the Company uses Adjusted EBITDA as a significant criterion for determining the amount of annual cash incentive compensation paid to our executive officers and employees. We have historically found that Adjusted EBITDA is superior to other metrics for our company-wide cash incentive program, as it is more easily explained and understood by our typical employee.
A reconciliation of our non-GAAP measures is below:

Discontinued Product Expense. We have excluded the effect of expenses related to a discontinued product line in calculating our non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA measure. We expected to retire our Res-Q-Vac product line towards the end of 2020, but due to the failure of equipment used to manufacture the product, the discontinuation and resulting expense was accelerated into the first quarter of 2020 which we would not otherwise incur in periods presented as part of our continuing operations. Subsequently, in the second and third quarter of 2020, we sold off a portion of the discontinued inventory previously reserved. We do not expect to incur any significant related expenses in the future.
Reorganization Charges. We have excluded the effect of reorganization charges in calculating our non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA measure. We incurred significant expenses in connection with the termination and replacement of C-suite executives and senior management which we would not otherwise incur in periods presented as part of our continuing operations. Reorganization charges include costs related to the replacement of C-suite executives including a transition bonus and recruiting fees, prior to March 31, 2019.
Litigation. We have excluded litigation expenses in calculating our non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA measure. Litigation expenses include stock-based litigation settlement expense of $2.2 million related to the settlement agreement entered into with EMED on May 20, 2020. We continue to evaluate our business performance excluding litigation fees; however, we expect these expenses related to the EMED litigation to discontinue soon because of the settlement.
Manufacturing Initiative Expenses. We have excluded the effect of expenses related to the implementation of those portions of our strategic plan related to creating manufacturing efficiencies, in calculating our non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA measure. We incurred expenses in connection with executing on these initiatives which we would not otherwise incur in periods presented as part of our continuing operations. We expect to incur related expenses for the next twelve to eighteen months as we continue to execute on our strategic plan.

Stock Option Expense. We have excluded the effect of stock option expenses in calculating our non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA measure. Although stock option compensation is a key incentive offered to our employees, we continue to evaluate our business performance excluding stock option compensation expenses. We record non-cash compensation expense related to grants of options and 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.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
Our operations and financial results are subject to various risks and uncertainties, including those described in “PART 1, ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, and the trading price of our common stock. The following are material changes to our risk factors since our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019:
Our business has been and could continue to be adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.
The COVID-19 pandemic has and will continue affecting economies and businesses around the world. We are closely monitoring the impact of COVID-19 on all aspects of our business, including how it may impact our employees and business operations. While we did not incur significant manufacturing disruptions during the quarter ended September 30, 2020 from the COVID-19 pandemic, customer purchasing patterns and clinical trial activity have been less predictable as a result of the pandemic. We may experience disruptions that could severely impact our results of operations and financial condition. We are unable to predict the impact that COVID-19 will have on our future operating results and financial condition due to numerous uncertainties. These uncertainties include the geographic spread of the pandemic, the severity of the virus, the impact of the virus directly on our employees or those of our suppliers, the duration of the outbreak, governmental actions, travel restrictions and social distancing, business closures or business disruptions (including those impacting our supply chain), delays in clinical trials, the effectiveness of actions taken in the United States and other countries to contain and treat the disease, the availability of plasma and drugs that are administered by our products, the number of new prescriptions for PIDD and CIDP, purchasing patterns of customers in response to the pandemic, changes to our operations, or whether the United States and additional countries are required to move to complete lock-down status, among others. Our sales representatives are unable to hold in-person meetings with customers and health care providers to discuss our products, which may further impact our sales. As local jurisdictions continue to put restrictions in place, our ability to continue to manufacture our products may also be limited. Such events may result in a period of business and manufacturing disruption, and in reduced operations, any of which could materially affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. The health of our workforce and our ability to meet staffing needs at our facility cannot be predicted and is vital to our operations. We will continue to monitor the COVID-19 situation closely and intend to follow health and safety guidelines as they evolve. Further, the spread of COVID-19, which has caused a broad impact globally, may materially affect us economically. While the potential economic impact brought by, and the duration of, COVID-19 may be difficult to assess or predict, it has resulted in significant disruption of global financial markets, which could reduce our ability to access capital, negatively affecting our liquidity. In addition, the recession resulting from the spread of COVID-19 could materially affect our business and the value of our common stock. The ultimate long-term impact of COVID-19 is highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence.
