Biomerica’s Fiscal 2025 Results: Resilient Performance Amid Challenges
Biomerica Reports Fiscal 2025 Year-End Results
$1.3 Million in Operating Expense Reductions Achieved – Operating Loss Improves 19% Year-Over-Year
Resilient Portfolio Performance with International Sales Despite Global Economic Uncertainties
Cash Used in Operating Activities Reduced to $3.8 Million vs. $5.3 Million in the Prior Year, Reflecting Stronger Operating Discipline
Biomerica, Inc. (NASDAQ: BMRA) recently disclosed its financial performance for the fiscal year ending May 31, 2025. The company has demonstrated resilient performance despite the challenges faced due to global economic uncertainties.
Over this fiscal period, Biomerica reported net sales totaling $5.3 million, a slight decrease from the previous year's $5.4 million. This minor decline was largely influenced by factors such as global tariff issues, which prompted some international clients to postpone their orders, coupled with a shift in product sales mix where over-the-counter retail sales were lower in the fourth quarter. Nonetheless, this dip was balanced by rising sales from inFoods® IBS, reflecting the company's ability to adapt to market dynamics.
The gross profit for the year stood at $498,000 compared to $611,000 the previous year, indicating the effects of macroeconomic conditions on overall sales and product distribution.
A significantly encouraging aspect was the reduction in cash used for operating activities, which decreased to $3.8 million, compared to $5.3 million in the previous year—a clear indication of improved operational efficiencies and stringent cost management strategies.
Biomerica has rigorously managed its expenses, cutting down selling, general, and administrative expenses to $4.6 million from $5.5 million year-over-year. The company also curtailed its research and development expenditures to $1.0 million from $1.5 million. Altogether, the operating expenses shrank by more than $1.3 million, achieving the cost reduction targets set forth at the start of the fiscal year.
As a direct result of these efforts, Biomerica's operating loss was reduced to $5.1 million, showing a noteworthy 19% improvement from last year's loss of $6.4 million, despite facing revenue challenges.
