Electromed reported its Q4 2025 results, showcasing a 17% year-over-year (YOY) increase in revenue to $17.4 million, with a total FY2025 revenue of $64.0 million. The growth was driven by a 15% expansion in Home Care and a 60% increase in Hospital Surge, while the distributor channel grew by 76% [1].

Gross margins improved to 78.1% for FY2025, up from 76.3% in FY2024, and operating margins rose to 15.1%, compared to 12.0% in FY2024. The company attributed these improvements to strong revenue growth and efficient cash flow management [1].

However, there were mixed signals regarding the implementation of a new CRM system, hospital sales team expansion, and gross margin trends. The company plans to launch the new CRM system in early Q1 of FY2026, aiming to enhance sales productivity. Initial feedback suggests a positive adjustment to the new system, but the learning curve effect on sales productivity remains a concern [1].

For hospital sales, the company is cautious about expanding the team too quickly, focusing instead on validating the success model before scaling. The hospital market is expected to grow by more than double digits, but sales cycles are long and lumpy, with growth potentially influenced by competitor distractions and replacement cycles [1].

Gross margins were driven by a favorable Home Care mix and payer mix, with FY2025 gross margins exceeding 78%. However, the company did not exceed its revenue per sales rep guidance range, and maintaining or improving this metric remains a focus [1].

New drug approvals for bronchiectasis have raised disease awareness, but reimbursement issues for new devices limit their impact. The company expects continued growth in the hospital market, but it will remain a smaller portion of total revenue due to longer sales cycles [1].

Overall, Electromed's Q4 2025 results demonstrate strong revenue growth and improved margins, but the company faces challenges in CRM implementation, hospital sales team expansion, and gross margin trends. Management expects double-digit top-line growth, expanded operating leverage, and strong operating cash flows in FY2026 [1].
