electroCore (NASDAQ:ECOR – Get Free Report) released its quarterly earnings results on Thursday. The company reported ($0.33) EPS for the quarter, beating analysts’ consensus estimates of ($0.42) by $0.09, FiscalAI reports. electroCore had a negative net margin of 39.96% and a negative return on equity of 1,956.38%. The company had revenue of $9.45 million for the quarter, compared to analyst estimates of $9.49 million.
Here are the key takeaways from electroCore’s conference call:
- Revenue grew 28% year over year to $9.5 million, driven by VA prescription sales of gammaCore and Quell, along with Truvaga growth. Management raised 2026 revenue guidance to more than 30% growth.
- Operating performance improved, with GAAP net loss narrowing to $3.1 million and adjusted EBITDA loss improving 26% year over year to $1.8 million. Management believes the commercial restructuring creates a path to positive adjusted EBITDA in the third quarter of 2027 without a dilutive equity raise.
- Quell was a major growth driver, with second-quarter sales up approximately 700% year over year to $1.3 million. The company is expanding Quell utilization across existing VA accounts and is targeting an FDA submission by year-end for chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy.
- electroCore doubled its sales regions, added 17 independent representatives covering 29 VA medical centers, and is expanding into the Department of Defense, federal workers’ compensation, first responders, and other federal channels. Moving federal supply schedule sales to Lovell Government Services is expected to reduce related costs by roughly 3% of general and administrative expenses and transaction fees.
- Truvaga faced rising competition and advertising costs, with direct cost per click increasing roughly 30% and media efficiency declining. In addition, FDA observations regarding patient-complaint processes will delay a potential Quell 2.0 rebrand and direct-to-consumer relaunch, while VA account concentration remains a risk after a facility staffing issue shifted approximately $145,000 of revenue into the third quarter.
