Net revenue in the United States for the second quarter of 2024 was $13.3 million and increased 12.5% over the second quarter of 2023 primarily due to U.S. disposables revenue growth. Net revenue in International markets for the second quarter of 2024 was $3.6 million and decreased 15.0% over the second quarter of 2023 due to a decrease in disposables revenue in distributor markets.

Gross profit and gross margin for the second quarter of 2024 was $8.3 million and 49.1%, respectively, as compared to gross profit of $6.9 million and gross margin of 42.8% for the second quarter of 2023. The increases in gross profit and gross margin were primarily due to the improved efficiency of our Mexico operation.

Total operating expenses were $17.6 million in the second quarter of 2024, an increase of $0.5 million as compared to the second quarter of 2023. Non-GAAP cash operating expenses, which exclude merger-related costs, gain on disposal of property and equipment, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense, and gain from deconsolidation were $12.1 million in the second quarter of 2024 compared to $14.2 million in the second quarter of 2023. The increase in operating expenses was primarily due to merger-related costs, partially offset by the Company’s Path to Profitability initiatives. The decrease in non-GAAP cash operating expenses was primarily due to the Company’s Path to Profitability initiatives.

Net loss for the second quarter of 2024 was $14.3 million, or $2.22 per share, compared to $14.8 million, or $2.34 per share, in the second quarter of 2023. Net loss per share was based on 6,442,763 and 6,328,222 weighted average shares outstanding for the second quarter of 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Adjusted EBITDA was negative $2.9 million for the second quarter of 2024 as compared to negative $6.4 million for the second quarter of 2023. The reduction in Adjusted EBITDA loss was primarily due to the Company’s Path to Profitability initiatives.

Cash Position

Unrestricted cash and cash equivalents were $2.9 million as of June 30, 2024 compared to $9.7 million as of December 31, 2023.

Website Information

Vapotherm routinely posts important information for investors on the Investor Relations section of its website, http:// investors.vapotherm.com/. Vapotherm intends to use this website as a means of disclosing material, non-public information and for complying with Vapotherm’s disclosure obligations under Regulation FD. Accordingly, investors should monitor the Investor Relations section of Vapotherm’s website, in addition to following Vapotherm’s press releases, Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) filings, public conference calls, presentations and webcasts. The information contained on, or that may be accessed through, Vapotherm’s website is not incorporated by reference into, and is not a part of, this document.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release includes non-GAAP financial measures, including EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP operating expenses and non-GAAP cash operating expenses. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA differ from net income as calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and non-GAAP operating expenses and non-GAAP cash operating expenses differ from operating expenses as calculated in accordance with GAAP. EBITDA represents net loss less interest expense, net, income tax provision or benefit, and depreciation and amortization, and Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA as further adjusted for the merger-related costs, impact of foreign currency (loss) gain, stock-based compensation expense, gain from deconsolidation and gain on disposal of property and equipment. Non-GAAP operating expenses is calculated by excluding from GAAP operating expenses merger-related costs, gain on disposal of property and equipment, and non-GAAP cash operating expenses is calculated by further excluding additional items, including stock-based compensation expense, depreciation and amortization, and gain from deconsolidation. The Company has reconciled all historical non-GAAP financial measures with the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures in tables accompanying this release.

These non-GAAP financial measures are presented because the Company believes they are useful indicators of its operating performance. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures, as measures of the Company’s operating performance and for planning purposes, including the preparation of the Company’s annual operating budget and financial projections. The Company believes these measures are useful to investors as supplemental information because they are frequently used by analysts, investors and other interested parties to evaluate companies in its industry. The Company believes Adjusted EBITDA is useful to its management and investors as a measure of comparative operating performance from period to period.

These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered alternatives to, or superior to, net income or loss as a measure of financial performance or cash flows from operations as a measure of liquidity, or any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP. They should not be construed to imply that the Company’s future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA is not intended to be a measure of free cash flow for management’s discretionary use, as it does not reflect certain cash requirements such as tax payments, debt service requirements, capital expenditures and certain other cash costs that may recur in the future. Adjusted EBITDA contains certain other limitations, including the failure to reflect our capital expenditures, cash requirements for working capital needs and cash costs to replace assets being depreciated and amortized. In evaluating Adjusted EBITDA, you should be aware that in the future the Company may incur expenses that are the same as or similar to some of the adjustments in the Adjusted EBITDA presentation. The Company’s presentation of Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed to imply that its future results will be unaffected by any such adjustments. Management compensates for these limitations by primarily relying on the Company’s GAAP results in addition to using Adjusted EBITDA and other non-GAAP financial measures on a supplemental basis. The Company’s definitions of Adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP operating expenses and non-GAAP cash operating expenses are not necessarily comparable to other similarly titled captions of other companies due to different methods of calculation.

Adjusted EBITDA Grows at 35% YoYGross Margin up 29 bps1 to 46%; Adjusted EBITDA Margin up 189 bps to 17%

NEW YORK, July 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Fractal Analytics Ltd (BSE: 544700) (NSE: FRACTAL) announced its consolidated financial results for Q1 FY27, ending June 30, 2026.

In Q1 FY27, the Company reported consolidated operating revenue of INR 9,125 m, a growth of 20% year on year (YoY). Revenue growth was led by the company’s Healthcare and Life Sciences (HLS) industry, which clocked 69% growth YoY. Strong sustained growth in HLS over the last several quarters has resulted in it becoming the second largest industry in the portfolio. Banking, Financial Services and Insurance (BFSI) also performed very well, growing 36% YoY in Q1. Fractal’s largest industry, Consumer Packaged Goods and Retail (CPGR), continued to gather momentum, growing 19% YoY. On the other hand, TMT declined 22% YoY.

Fractal’s focus on deepening customer relationships continues to yield good outcomes. Its clients collectively increased their spending with the company, as reflected in the Net Revenue Retention2 of 117% in Q1. Further, its Net Promoter Score (NPS) during the period stood at 77.

The company reported improved profit margins at all levels. Gross Margin in Q1 was at 46%, while Adjusted EBITDA Margin expanded by 189 bps YoY to 17%. Net Income grew 92% YoY to INR 723 m.

Commenting on the performance, Srikanth Velamakanni, Group CEO and Executive Vice-Chairman, said:

“Enterprises are putting real transformation budgets behind AI now and we’re seeing it directly in the size of the deals coming to us. TMT was the drag on our headline growth this quarter. Excluding TMT, our business grew 35% year on year, which is a better read on the underlying demand we’re seeing.

As data sovereignty becomes a bigger priority for governments and enterprises, and as open-weight models keep improving, clients need a partner who can work across models and infrastructure. We have invested heavily in our people, our research, and our own intellectual property to be that partner.”

1 Basis points = 1/100th of 1%
2 Net Revenue Retention in our Fractal.ai segment measures how effectively we retain and expand revenue from our existing clients over a defined period and is calculated by comparing the current period’s revenue from the clients who existed at the start of the period, with their revenue in the previous period – including the effects of upsells, cross-sells and contractions

Xryma Plc : Pre-Listing Liquidity Facility and Price Discovery Process

Published

on

By

NICOSIA, Cyprus, July 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Xryma Plc (“Xryma”)  announces its intention to reapply within the next twelve months for admission to list on Euronext Paris (“Euronext”), with such admission being subject to Euronext’s approval. Before submitting its application, Xryma intends to launch a pre-listing liquidity facility and price discovery process, comprising a private placement to institutional and qualified investors alongside a secondary market offer to Xryma existing shareholders (“shareholders”) wishing to exit prior to listing.  

The admission referred to above that is subject to the approval of Euronext may also be subject to approval by relevant regulatory authorities, and no assurance can be given that approval will be granted or as to the timing of any admission.

The pre-listing liquidity facility and price discovery process is designed to:

Enable shareholders seeking an exit to participate without the need to open an EU brokerage account,Provide a clear and orderly opportunity for existing shareholders to sell all or part of their holdings ahead of any potential admission to trading on Euronext Paris,Enable shareholders to sell all or part of their holdings at the same price at which qualified and institutional investors subscribe for shares in the Company,Establish, through a bookbuild with qualified and institutional investors, a market-validated referenced price for Xryma shares ahead of any potential admission on Euronext Paris (the “Primary Market Placement Price”),Support orderly trading upon potential admission.

Individual shareholder mailouts explaining the details of the pre-listing liquidity facility scheme with instructions and necessary documentation will be conducted during August 2026.

As the Primary Market Placement Price is to be determined by the subsequent bookbuild, shareholders will be given the opportunity to set a floor price which will result in the sale of their shares if the Primary Market Placement Price is higher.  Shareholders will receive the Primary Market Placement Price minus applicable fees.

Shareholders and Investors may be scaled back to match corresponding demand from the other party, with partial fulfilment a possibility if the Company cannot match supply to demand.

Completion of the process is subject to achieving a level of institutional and qualified investor demand that the Board considers appropriate to support an orderly market should Xryma subsequently be admitted to trading on Euronext Paris.

Participation is entirely voluntary. Shareholders who do not wish to sell will simply retain their shares. Shareholders that do not intend to participate should continue to onboard with a Euronext participating broker, or a Euroclear ESES custodian, per previous communications.

The major shareholders, SCP Select All Enterprise (Monaco) and SCP Red 5 Solutions (Monaco) will not participate in the offer and will be subject to lock up arrangements.

Mr Nikogiannis (John) Karantzis, CEO of Xryma Plc comments: “Our shareholders have told us they would value a straightforward way to realise their holdings without the time and cost of opening an EU brokerage account. This process is our response to that feedback. We are structuring the placement to be large enough to establish a credible reference price whilst limiting dilution, with demand directed first towards meeting shareholder sell interest. We look forward to updating the market on the revised timetable in due course.”
