Management Commentary

"In fiscal 2024, we reported strong financial and operational progress, including revenues up 6% to $969,000," commented PetVivo CEO, John Lai. "Our revenue growth was driven largely by our expanded distributor network, with sales of Spryng™ by distributors up 15% to $732,000. This helped drive our gross profit up 6% to $740,000, with our gross margins improving 40 basis points to 76.3%.

"Also during the year, we developed clinical data on the safety and efficacy of Spryng, increased distribution through the addition of Covetrusm, expanded our efforts with MWI, and increased market awareness of Spryng to veterinarians.

"We are excited about the final clinical results from the cruciate ligament study on canines and the preliminary clinical results from the osteoarthritis canine hip study which were presented at the Veterinary Orthopedic Society conference in February, 2024.

"The release of tolerance clinical results involving the injection of Spryng into the joints of canines and felines have confirmed the long-known understanding that Spryng is a safe option for veterinarians who are addressing issues related to osteoarthritis and other joint-related afflictions in companion animals.

"We expect to use this clinical data to further advance the use of Spryng by veterinarians in the management of joint related afflictions, as well as raise veterinarian and consumer awareness of the benefits of this life-enhancing product.

"We are also taking several steps to position the company for future success in fiscal 2025. We recently hired a new VP of Sales as well as a new VP of Marketing to lead our sales and marketing teams. We plan to add more sales and marketing personnel to support our distribution relationship with MWI, Covetrus and veterinary clinics.

"Looking ahead, we plan to further build out our technical service teams and complete additional clinical studies in equine, canine and feline companion animals. We also plan to increase adoption of Spryng by key opinion leaders and increase marketing awareness through trade shows and digital outreach.

"Our revenues are now ramping under global distribution agreements and new key sales and marketing hires. We have never been in a better position to address the enormous opportunity we see in the $5.7 billion U.S. Animal Health Market-a market that is projected to double to $11.3 billion by 2030.

"Helping to drive this market is the greater affordability of pet care from pet health insurance, with the number of pets insured in North America increasing by 20.9% last year to more than 6 million. We believe all of these positive factors have set the stage for strong growth for PetVivo over the next year and beyond."

Fiscal 2025 Revenue Outlook

For the fiscal full year of 2025, the company anticipates net revenue of approximately $1.5 million to $2.0 million, which would represent growth of approximately 50% to 100% over the prior year.

Fiscal 2024 Financial Summary

Revenues in the fiscal full year of 2024 increased 6% to $969,000, primarily due to distribution channel expansion.

Gross profit totaled $740,000 or 76.3% of revenues as compared to $670,000 or 75.9% of revenues in fiscal 2023. The increase in gross margin was a result of a favorable shift in product mix.

Operating expenses increased 20% to $11.4 million compared to fiscal 2023. The increase in operating expenses was due to increases in general and administrative expenses of $1.7 million and research and development of $272,000. The increase was partially offset due to a decrease in sales and marketing of $11,000.

Net loss totaled $11.0 million or $(0.78) per basic and diluted share, as compared to a net loss of $8.7 million or $(0.85) per basic and diluted share in the same year-ago period.

Cash and cash equivalents totaled $87,000 at March 31, 2024. Subsequent to the fiscal year end, the company raised net proceeds of $1.8 million.
