ITEM 2.02. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION.
(a) Public Announcement or Release.
On May 6, 2026, KORU Medical Systems, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing its financial results for the first fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2026 and reiterating financial guidance for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2026. The Company’s press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K. A related conference call will be held on May 6, 2026 at 4:30pm Eastern Time.
KORU Medical is making reference to non-GAAP financial measures in both the press release and the conference call. Our management believes that investors’ understanding of KORU Medical’s performance is enhanced by disclosing the non-GAAP financial measures of “adjusted EBITDA” and “adjusted diluted EPS” (each as defined below) as a reasonable basis for comparison of our ongoing results of operations. KORU Medical strongly encourages investors to review its consolidated financial statements and publicly filed reports in their entirety and cautions investors that the non-GAAP measures used by KORU Medical may differ from similar measures used by other companies, even when similar terms are used to identify such measures. Non-GAAP measures should not be considered replacements for, and should be read together with, the most comparable GAAP financial measures. A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP results is provided in the attached Exhibit 99.1 press release.
We define adjusted EBITDA as earnings (net (loss)/income) before depreciation and amortization, interest (income), net, litigation expense and stock-based compensation expense. We believe that adjusted EBITDA is used by investors and other users of our financial statements as a supplemental financial measure that, when viewed with our GAAP results and the accompanying reconciliation, we believe provides additional information that is useful to gain an understanding of the factors and trends affecting our business. We also believe the disclosure of adjusted EBITDA helps investors meaningfully evaluate and compare our cash flow generating capacity from quarter to quarter and year to year. Adjusted EBITDA is used by management as a supplemental internal measure for planning and forecasting overall expectations and for evaluating actual results against such expectations.
We present adjusted diluted earnings per share (“adjusted diluted EPS”) after eliminating items that we believe are not part of our ordinary operations and affect the comparability of the periods presented. Adjusted diluted EPS includes adjustments from reported diluted earnings per share for depreciation and amortization, interest (income), net, litigation expense and stock-based compensation expense. We believe adjustments for these items allow investors to better understand our underlying operating results and facilitate comparisons between the periods shown. Management uses adjusted diluted EPS as a supplemental internal measure for planning and forecasting overall expectations and for evaluating actual results against such expectations.
The information contained in this Item 2.02 of the Form 8-K shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that Section, nor shall it be deemed to be incorporated by reference into any filing of the Company under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
