We see these investments paying off through continued revenue growth and increased profitability. The Electromed team and I remain focused on serving our customers and promoting our state-of-the-art airway clearance technology, Smartvest Clearway, to drive continued market penetration.

Q2 FY 2024 Results
Net revenue for Q2 FY 2024 grew 17% to $13.7 million, from $11.7 million in Q2 FY 2023.
Revenue in our direct homecare business increased year-over-year by 18.0% to $12.7 million, from $10.7 million in the same period in fiscal 2023. The increase in revenue was due to an increase in sales territories and efficiencies recognized within our reimbursement department as a result of recent investments made to streamline the claims process. Field sales force employees totaled 58 at quarter end, 49 of which were direct sales representatives. The annualized homecare revenue per weighted average direct sales representative in Q2 was $1,007,000, slightly higher than Electromed’s annual target range of $850,000 to $950,000.
Gross profit increased to $10,545,000, or 77.0% of net revenues for Q2 FY 2024, from $8,682,000 or 74.0% of net revenues, in the same period in fiscal 2023. The increase in gross profit in fiscal 2024 was primarily due to increased revenue, lower material procurement costs, and shipping costs this year.
Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses were $8,175,000 for Q2 FY 2024, representing an increase of $921,000 or 12.7%, compared to the same period in fiscal 2023. The increase in SG&A expense was primarily due to increased payroll and compensation expense related to the higher average number of sales, sales support, marketing, and reimbursement personnel to process higher patient referrals.
Operating income for the quarter was a record $2,263,000 or 16.5% of total revenue, compared to $1,274,000 or 10.1% of total revenue for the same period in the prior fiscal year. The increase in operating income was driven primarily by increased revenue and gross profit rate improvement.
Net income for Q2 FY 2024 was a record $1,674,000, or $0.19 per diluted share, compared to $977,000, or $0.11 per diluted share, for the same period in the prior fiscal year.
As of December 31, 2023, Electromed had $10.4 million in cash, $23.0 million in accounts receivable and no debt, achieving a working capital of $32.7 million and an increase in total shareholders’ equity of $2.7 million to $40.3 million. The cash balance reflects an increase of $3.1 million for the six months ended December 31, 2023, compared to a decrease in cash of $1.2 million in the six months ended December 31, 2022. This increase in cash was driven by an increase in operating income as well as a benefit from improved cash collections and management of working capital.
