In addition, in November 2024, a disposable supply contract in which the Company was a participant was not renewed, contributing to the overall revenue impact.

Management Commentary:

“While our second quarter performance was softer than expected, we remain focused on returning to a sustainable growth trajectory,” said Gregory Crawford, Chairman and CEO of Quipt. “Over the last several months, we have taken targeted actions to strengthen our future organic growth execution, expand referral networks, and enhance operational efficiency. We are pleased with the strength of our Adjusted EBITDA¹ in the face of the revenue decrease, which was solid at 23.3% of revenue, underscoring the structural improvements we made across the organization since late 2024.

Looking ahead, our highest strategic priority is to reignite organic growth and utilize our scalable playbook that allows us to partner with healthcare systems in a more integrated way. We see a meaningful opportunity to embed Quipt as the preferred provider for hospital discharge-driven care, and we are actively engaged in multiple conversations with health systems across the country. We believe this approach has the ability to strengthen our long-term positioning, expand patient access, and drive sustainable value for all stakeholders.

Our team remains energized by the opportunity ahead, and I want to thank our employees, partners, and shareholders for their continued support as we drive forward.”

“With a healthy balance sheet, modest leverage, and ample liquidity, we are well-equipped to support our near-term growth plans and pursue strategic initiatives, including health system partnerships.,” said Hardik Mehta, Chief Financial Officer of Quipt. “This financial strength gives us the flexibility to support our organic growth initiatives and economically scale the business. Our cost structure is optimized, scalable, and aligned with our long-term objectives, and as we continue to strive for execution of our strategic growth plans, we expect this operational discipline to support strong margin performance throughout the year. We remain confident that our financial foundation, combined with a clear strategic direction, will support consistent margin strength and long-term value creation as we move through the remainder of 2025 and into 2026.”
