Q & A Highlights
Q: Can you comment on the status of the negative pressure wound therapy devices leased last year and the new agreement with Smith+Nephew?
A: Richard Dilorio, CEO: The leases from last year, primarily Cork Medical devices, will remain in use until their useful life ends. The Smith+Nephew agreement is more about our referral business, where devices go home with patients, and we bill monthly. These are two separate components of our negative pressure business.
Q: Can you provide more details on the opportunities in the biomedical business, particularly with new customers and the GE relationship?
A: Richard Dilorio, CEO: We expect to announce new components to the GE agreement soon, as they have approached us with additional opportunities. We are also close to signing agreements with new partners outside of GE. The GE relationship remains strong, and we are exploring other opportunities now that the initial setup is complete.
Q: Regarding the NOPAIN Act, what are your expectations once it goes live?
A: Richard Dilorio, CEO: We expect it to drive revenue as it provides reimbursement for physicians' time and effort to use non-opioid alternatives. This should encourage more physicians to adopt these alternatives, increasing our customer base and market share.
Q: Were there any shares repurchased during the quarter under the share repurchase authorization?
A: Barry Steele, CFO: Yes, we repurchased a small amount of shares, spending a little over $200,000.
Q: Can you clarify the use of Cork and Smith+Nephew devices in the negative pressure business?
A: Richard Dilorio, CEO: Cork, Genadyne, and Smith+Nephew devices can all be used in patients' homes. The Cork devices are primarily leases, while Smith+Nephew devices are part of our referral business, where we leverage our payer contracts to provide devices for home use.
