Earnings Call
21 Jun

[Management View]
Beyond Air reported a 220% increase in GAAP revenue for FY2025, driven by U.S. hospital contracts for its LungFit platform. The company emphasized aggressive operating expense reductions and strategic international market expansion.

[Outlook]
Projected revenue for Q1 FY2026 is at least $1.7 million, with full-year revenue guidance ranging from $12 million to $16 million. The company plans to expand its LungFit PH2 device and establish new global partnerships.

[Financial Performance]
Revenue increased to $3.7 million in FY2025 from $1.2 million in FY2024. Operating expenses were reduced by 58% over six quarters. The net loss was $46.6 million, with a net cash burn of $44.1 million, 28% lower than the previous year.

[Q&A Highlights]
Question 1: Is the approval of LungFit 2.0 included in the FY26 guidance, and how does it affect hospital interest?
Answer: FY26 guidance does not include the second-generation system. Hospitals are aware of it but focus remains on the first generation. Some hospitals are adopting the first generation immediately, while others may wait.

Question 2: What are the trends in international markets for LungFit, and how do they compare to the U.S.?
Answer: It's early to see trends outside the U.S. Initial shipments are for demonstration. The international tender process is longer, but usage is consistent with U.S. practices, especially in cardiac surgery.

Question 3: Expected timeline for LungFit PH2 FDA approval and launch dynamics?
Answer: No exact timing for FDA approval due to current upheaval. Launch will involve inventory buildup and manufacturing scale-up, with demand expected to be a challenge post-approval.

Question 4: What needs to happen to reach the higher end of the $12-$16 million revenue range for FY2026?
Answer: A few large contracts or regulatory approvals in big countries could significantly impact revenue. The range is not considered large due to potential swings from pipeline activities.

Question 5: Impact of geopolitical issues on global supply and distribution?
Answer: Minimal impact from tariffs, with low single-digit percentage on cost of goods. No significant issues in Israel or Ukraine, with larger markets like France and India being more impactful.

Question 6: Confidence in revenue forecasts and potential hospital adoption models?
Answer: High confidence in forecasts, with flexibility in contract structures, including a Razer Blade model for consumables, which may increase adoption.

Question 7: Potential hospital growth and volume increase per hospital?
Answer: Volume per hospital is increasing, with some exceeding estimates. The total number of hospitals is expected to grow, but exact numbers are not speculated.

Question 8: Timeline for PMA approval and market expansion for LungFit 2.0?
Answer: PMA supplements typically take 180 days, but timelines vary. The second-generation system is similar to the first, potentially allowing for quicker approval.

Question 9: Differences in sales process and market expansion with LungFit 2.0?
Answer: Not marketing gen two yet, but it will expand the market significantly, reaching hospitals globally and increasing nitric oxide usage.

Question 10: Impact of competitor offerings on contract negotiations?
Answer: No significant change in contract dynamics despite new competitor offerings. Contracts remain stable at one, three, and five-year terms.
