“We capped an exciting year for Kestra with a very strong finish to our fiscal 2025. This quarter’s financial results reflect accelerating demand for our best-in-class cardiac recovery system as we continue to benefit from heightened prescriber awareness and the overwhelmingly positive experience patients are having with the ASSURE® system,” said Brian Webster, President and CEO. “In addition to our commercial execution, we are encouraged by the meaningful improvement in our gross margin, a result of the attractive unit economics and positive leverage inherent in our business model.”

Mr. Webster continued, “In fiscal year 2025, the ASSURE® system protected thousands of patients from sudden cardiac arrest, a testament to the dedication of our mission-driven team. We also made progress on several key operational objectives, including significant growth of our commercial organization and planned enhancements to our revenue cycle capabilities. We remain confident that our commitment to innovation and intense focus on prescriber and patient support will drive market expansion and advance Kestra’s pursuit of market leadership.”

o
3,903 prescriptions were written for the ASSURE® system in Q4, an increase of 43% compared to the prior year period.

Revenue growth was driven by a higher share of wallet with existing customers and activation of new accounts. Revenue also benefited from a higher mix of in-network patients and improvements in revenue cycle management capabilities.
Gross profit was $7.6 million in Q4 compared to $1.4 million in the prior year period.
o
Gross margin expanded to 44.3% in Q4 compared to 13.9% in the prior year period, driven by volume leverage and a higher mix of in-network patients.

Fiscal Year 2026 Revenue Guidance

Webcast and Conference Call

Kestra will host a conference call today at 4:30 p.m. ET to discuss fourth quarter and fiscal year 2025 financial results. A live and archived webcast of the event will be available in the “Events” section of the investor relations website.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release contains certain financial information that is not presented in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), including Adjusted EBITDA. The non-GAAP financial measures are provided as supplemental information to Kestra’s financial measures presented in this press release that are calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.

Adjusted EBITDA, which is calculated as net income (loss), as adjusted to exclude other income/expense (including interest), income tax expense (benefit), depreciation and amortization expense, share-based compensation expense, and expenses related to Kestra’s initial public offering, is presented because management believes it allows investors to view the Company’s performance in a manner similar to the method used by management to evaluate the Company’s performance for both strategic and annual operating planning. Management believes that in order to properly understand short-term and long-term financial trends, it is helpful for investors to understand the impact of the items excluded from the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA, in addition to considering the Company’s GAAP financial measures. The excluded items vary in frequency and/or impact on our results of operations and management believes that the excluded items are not reflective of our ongoing core business operations and financial condition. Excluding such items allows investors and analysts to compare our operating performance to other companies in our industry and to compare our period-over-period results.

The non-GAAP financial measures used by Kestra may not be the same or calculated in the same manner as those used and calculated by other companies. Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for Kestra’s financial results prepared and reported in accordance with GAAP. We urge investors to review the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures included in this press release, and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business. A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA reported in this press release to the most comparable GAAP measure for the respective periods appears in the table captioned “Reconciliation of GAAP Net Income (Loss) to Adjusted EBITDA” later in this release. Within the accompanying financial tables presented, certain columns and rows may not add due to the use of rounded numbers.

 


Forward-Looking Statements

Except where otherwise noted, the information contained in this press release is as of July 15, 2025. Statements in this press release and on the related teleconference that express a belief, expectation or intention, as well as those that are not historical fact, are forward-looking statements. Except as required by law, the Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including statements about, among other topics, our anticipated operating and financial performance, including financial guidance and projections; business plans, strategy, goals and prospects; and expectations for our products. Given their forward-looking nature, these statements involve substantial risks, uncertainties and potentially inaccurate assumptions, and we cannot ensure that any outcome expressed in these forward-looking statements will be realized in whole or in part.

Kestra’s financial guidance is based on estimates and assumptions that are subject to significant uncertainties. Among the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from past results and future plans and projected future results are the following: risks related to our limited operating history and history of net losses; our ability to successfully achieve substantial market adoption of our products; competitive pressures; our ability to adapt our manufacturing and production capacities to evolving patterns of demand, governmental actions and customer trends; product defects or complaints and related liability; our ability to obtain and maintain adequate coverage and reimbursement levels for our products; our ability to comply with changing laws and regulatory requirements and resulting costs; our dependence on a limited number of suppliers; and other risks and uncertainties, including those described under the heading “Risk Factors” in our Registration Statement on Form S-1 and other filings filed or to be filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2025.
