The company, a veterinary health firm focused on diagnostic and therapeutic products for companion animals, continues to make significant strides in the industry.
Company Overview
Zomedica Corp is dedicated to creating products for companion animals, including dogs, cats, and horses, by addressing the unmet needs of clinical veterinarians. The company's product portfolio includes diagnostics and therapeutics that emphasize patient health and practice health. Zomedica is focused on the final development and commercialization of its TRUFORMA platform, which detects thyroid disorders in dogs and cats and adrenal disorders in dogs. The company's operations are divided into two reportable segments: Diagnostic and Therapeutic Devices, with the majority of revenue coming from the therapeutics segment.
Performance and Challenges
For the fourth quarter of 2023, Zomedica reported a 19% increase in revenue to $7.3 million compared to the same period in 2022. This growth was primarily driven by a 16% increase in the Therapeutic Devices segment and a remarkable 144% growth in the Diagnostics segment. The company's consumable revenue grew by 26% to $4.0 million, while capital revenue increased by 12% to $3.3 million.
Despite these achievements, Zomedica faces challenges such as increased operating expenses and a net loss of $34.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. The company’s research and development expenses rose by 123% to $5.7 million, driven by the expansion of internal capabilities to develop, test, and manufacture new diagnostic products.
Financial Achievements
For the full year 2023, Zomedica's revenue grew by 33% to $25.2 million, compared to $18.9 million in 2022. This growth was bolstered by a 28% increase in sales of Therapeutic Devices and a 252% increase in sales of Diagnostics, primarily driven by the TRUFORMA product line and new product launches such as the VetGuardian® and TRUVIEWTM platforms. The company's gross margin remained strong at 69% for both the fourth quarter and the full year.
Additionally, Zomedica reported $100.5 million in liquidity as of December 31, 2023, providing a solid financial foundation for future growth and expansion.
