Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation should be read in conjunction with our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes to those statements included in this Quarterly Report and our audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes and the discussion under the heading “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” for the fiscal years ended April 30, 2025 and 2024 included in our Annual Report. In addition to historical financial information, the following discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Our actual results and timing of selected events may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of many factors, including those discussed under the sections entitled “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and Part II, Item 1A, ““Risk Factors” included in this Quarterly Report and in the sections entitled “Risk Factors” and “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” in our Annual Report.
Overview
We are a commercial-stage, wearable medical device and digital healthcare company focused on transforming patient outcomes in cardiovascular disease using monitoring and therapeutic intervention technologies that are intuitive, intelligent, and connected. We have developed and are commercializing our Cardiac Recovery System platform, a comprehensive and advanced system that integrates monitoring, therapeutic treatment, digital health, and patient support services into a single, unified solution. The cornerstone of our Cardiac Recovery System platform is the ASSURE WCD, a next generation WCD used to protect patients at an elevated risk of SCA. The ASSURE WCD automatically monitors elevated risk patients and, if needed, delivers a defibrillation shock to return the patient’s heart to normal rhythm. We believe the ASSURE WCD offers significant clinical and functional advantages, including greater patient compliance as a result of a major reduction in false alarms, enhanced comfort and improved wearability. In addition to the ASSURE WCD, our Cardiac Recovery System platform includes a comprehensive suite of fully integrated digital solutions and services that enable enhanced patient and provider engagement and oversight, with the objective of improving patient outcomes. We believe our Cardiac Recovery System platform has the potential to disrupt the large existing market and grow the under-penetrated addressable market.
We have been issued a Medicare Provider Number by the CMS, which enables us to bill Medicare for reimbursement for our ASSURE WCD as an accredited supplier to the extent the claim meets Medicare medical necessity and coverage requirements. We derive nearly all our revenue from the direct billing of various third-party payors, including Medicare, Medicaid, private payors and other healthcare-related organizations, for the lease of our ASSURE WCD to patients. We also bill patients for co-insurance payments and deductibles. As WCD therapy has existed for over 20 years in the United States, reimbursement codes are well-established, and WCDs are covered by Medicare, Medicaid and many private payors.
We outsource the manufacturing of our ASSURE WCD and all of its components to third-party suppliers, including contract manufacturers that manufacture garments, chargers, monitors, batteries, cables and various accessories for our ASSURE WCD. We believe that our contract manufacturing partners are recognized in their field for their competency to manufacture the respective components of our ASSURE WCD and have established quality systems that meet FDA requirements. We believe the manufacturers we currently utilize have sufficient capacity to meet our expansion requirements and can scale up their capacity to meet anticipated demand for our product for the foreseeable future.
Since our inception, we have devoted substantially all of our efforts to research and development, undertaking clinical trials, enabling manufacturing activities in support of our product development efforts, hiring personnel, organizing and staffing our company, performing business planning, establishing our intellectual property portfolio, building and expanding a commercial team to market our Cardiac Recovery System platform in the United States, and raising capital to support and expand such activities.
Our fiscal year ends on April 30 of each year. We incurred net losses of $34.2 million and $21.8 million for the three months ended January 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. We incurred net losses of $92.8 million and $62.7 million for the nine months ended January 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. For the three months ended January 31, 2026, we generated revenue of $24.6 million, with a gross profit of $12.9 million, compared to revenue of $15.1 million, with a gross profit of $6.5 million, for the three months ended January 31, 2025. For the nine months ended January 31, 2026, we generated revenue of $66.5 million, with a gross profit of $33.2 million, compared to revenue of $42.6 million, with a gross profit of $16.6 million, for the nine months ended January 31, 2025. As of January 31, 2026, we had cash and cash equivalents balances of $291.3 million, and an accumulated deficit of $613.0 million.

From our inception to the consummation of the IPO, our operations were primarily funded by proceeds from capital contributions made by West Affum Holdings, L.P., our direct parent prior to the Organizational Transactions (as defined in Note 1, “The Company,” to our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report), in the form of common stock and redeemable preferred stock, and borrowings under our Term Loan 2024 (as defined below). For more information, see “—Liquidity and Capital Resources—Sources of Liquidity”.
In the IPO, we issued and sold an aggregate of 13,664,704 Common Shares at an offering price to the public of $17.00 per share for net proceeds of $215.8 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions, which includes the net proceeds from the underwriters’ exercise in full of the over-allotment option. The Organizational Transactions and IPO were completed on March 7, 2025 and the proceeds from the shares sold pursuant to the underwriters’ over-allotment option were received on March 14, 2025.
We have invested heavily in developing and commercializing our Cardiac Recovery System platform. We have also made significant investments in clinical studies to demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of our ASSURE WCD and to support applications for regulatory approvals. We have made and will continue to make significant investments to build our sales and marketing organization, and we intend to continue to increase the size of our commercial team to market our product in the United States. Based on our current operating plan, we believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents and cash generated from revenue transactions with customers will be sufficient to fund our operating and capital needs for at least the next 12 months. We may experience lower than expected cash generated from operating activities or greater than expected capital expenditures, cost of revenue or operating expenses and may require additional funding to execute on our growth plans, which may include future equity and debt financings. Adequate funding may not be available to us on acceptable terms or at all. Our failure to obtain sufficient funds on acceptable terms when needed could have a material and adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.
Key Factors Affecting Our Results of Operations and Performance
Factors that have impacted, and that we expect will continue to impact, our operating performance and results of operations include:
•
Commercial Organization. We have made and continue to make significant investments in recruiting, training and retaining our direct sales force and supporting commercial infrastructure. Successfully recruiting and training additional commercial team members is required to achieve growth. We have in the past and expect in the future to enter into compensation arrangements with our commercial team that may include minimum guaranteed commissions.
•
Gross Profit. Our results of operations will depend, in part, on our ability to increase our gross profit by more effectively managing our costs to build and deliver our ASSURE WCD and obtaining higher reimbursement realization due to improved market access and shifts in patient mix towards patients with longer wear duration. We expect supply chain efficiencies to result from higher volume purchases of components, and continued manufacturing process improvements.
•
Payor Coverage and Revenue Cycle Management. Healthcare providers in the United States generally rely on third-party payors, principally Medicare, Medicaid and private payors, to cover and reimburse all or part of the cost of our product. The revenue we can generate from the lease of our ASSURE WCD depends in large part on the availability of reimbursement from such payors. A significant component of our operational efforts includes working with private payors to ensure positive coverage decisions for our product and investing in our revenue cycle management infrastructure to collect cash from payors.
•
Seasonality. Our billings and collections efforts during January and February tend to be lower because of resetting annual patient healthcare insurance plan deductibles. In addition, as our business grows in the United States and any international markets we may enter into in the future, we may experience seasonality based on holidays, vacations and other factors.

Key Components of Our Results of Operations
The following discussion describes certain key components of our consolidated statement of operations.
Revenue
We received FDA approval for the commercialization of our ASSURE WCD on July 27, 2021 and fully commercially launched our ASSURE WCD in August 2022. We generate revenue by leasing our ASSURE WCD to patients for a fixed amount on a month-to-month basis. The lease payments generally consist of the contracted amounts based on reimbursement arrangements with third-party payors, comprising Medicare, Medicaid, private payors and other healthcare-related organizations, and patient payments. The patient has the right to cancel the lease at any time during the lease period. We recognize lease revenue over the term of the lease when collectability is probable. If collectability of the lease payments is not deemed to be probable, the lease revenue is limited to the lesser of the income that would have been recognized if collectability was probable or the lease payments collected. If the lease payments are not deemed to be probable at inception, lease revenue is recognized when cash payments are received. We expect that our revenue will continue to increase as the number of patients that use our product increases.
Cost of Revenue
Cost of revenue consist of direct material, labor and indirect costs related to the lease performance of our ASSURE WCD such as the cost of disposable WCD device components, depreciation expense of reusable medical rental equipment components, shipping and order fulfillment costs, as well as other indirect costs incurred to support the manufacture and medical rental equipment delivery to and ongoing support for the patient incurred in connection with providing our ASSURE WCD to patients. Overall expenditures for disposable components and reprocessing costs will increase as the number of patients receiving our ASSURE WCD increases and to a

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes to those statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. In addition to historical financial information, the following discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Our actual results and timing of selected events may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of many factors, including those discussed under the sections entitled “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and “Risk Factors” included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Overview
We are a commercial-stage wearable medical device and digital healthcare company focused on transforming patient outcomes in cardiovascular disease through connected monitoring, therapeutic intervention, and data-driven clinical insights. We have developed and are commercializing the Cardiac Recovery System platform, an integrated cardiac recovery ecosystem designed to support patients at elevated risk of SCA during vulnerable periods of recovery. Our Cardiac Recovery System platform is anchored by the ASSURE® WCD, which continuously monitors patient heart rhythms and automatically delivers defibrillation therapy when life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias are detected. The platform also includes digital patient engagement and clinical workflow solutions designed to improve patient adherence, support care coordination, and provide actionable clinical insights throughout the recovery process. We believe the ASSURE WCD is differentiated by its patient-centered design, including comfort, wearability, and low false alarm rates, which are intended to improve patient compliance during extended wear periods. In addition, our integrated platform generates continuous cardiac rhythm data and clinically actionable insights that may assist healthcare providers in managing patients during vulnerable recovery periods. We believe these capabilities position Kestra to participate in the growing cardiac recovery market and support future platform expansion opportunities.
We have been issued a Medicare Provider Number by the CMS, which enables us to bill Medicare for reimbursement for our ASSURE WCD as an accredited supplier to the extent the claim meets Medicare medical necessity and coverage requirements. We derive nearly all our revenue from the direct billing of various third-party payors, including Medicare, Medicaid, private payors and other healthcare-related organizations, for the lease of our ASSURE WCD to patients. Any costs associated with our solution that are not covered by third-party payors, such as co-payments, are billed directly to the patient by our team. As WCD therapy has existed for over 20 years in the United States, reimbursement codes are well-established, and WCDs are covered by Medicare, Medicaid and many private payors.
We outsource the manufacturing of our ASSURE WCD and all of its components to third-party suppliers, including contract manufacturers that manufacture garments, chargers, monitors, batteries, cables and various accessories for our ASSURE WCD. We believe that our contract manufacturing partners are recognized in their field for their competency to manufacture the respective components of our ASSURE WCD and have established quality systems that meet FDA requirements. We believe the manufacturers we currently utilize have sufficient capacity to meet our expansion requirements and can scale up their capacity to meet anticipated demand for our product for the foreseeable future.

Our fiscal year ends on April 30 of each year. We incurred net losses of $131.6 million and $113.8 million for the fiscal years ended April 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. For the fiscal year ended April 30, 2026, we generated revenue of $95.1 million, with a gross profit of $48.9 million, compared to revenue of $59.8 million, with a gross profit of $24.2 million, for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2025. As of April 30, 2026 , we had cash, cash equivalents, and investments of $262.2 million. As of April 30, 2025, we had cash and cash equivalents of $237.6 million. As of April 30, 2026 and 2025, we had an accumulated deficit of $651.9 million and $520.2 million, respectively.
From our inception to the consummation of the IPO, our operations were primarily funded by proceeds from capital contributions made by West Affum Holdings, L.P., our direct parent prior to the Organizational Transactions (as defined in Note 1, “The Company,” to our audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K), in the form of common stock and redeemable preferred stock, and borrowings under our Term Loan 2024 (as defined below), as well as borrowings under our Term Loan (as defined below). For more information, see “—Liquidity and Capital Resources—Sources of Liquidity”.

In the IPO, we issued and sold an aggregate of 13,664,704 common shares at an offering price to the public of $17.00 per share for net proceeds of $215.8 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions, which includes the net proceeds from the underwriters’ exercise in full of the over-allotment option. The Organizational Transactions and IPO were completed on March 7, 2025, and the proceeds from the shares sold pursuant to the underwriters’ over-allotment option were received on March 14, 2025.
In December 2025, we completed a public underwritten offering and issued an aggregate of 6,900,000 Common Shares at a price of $23.00 per share, resulting in net proceeds of $149.3 million, after deducting underwriting discounts but before expenses. The aggregate number of Common Shares offered pursuant to the public offering included 900,000 Common Shares issued pursuant to the exercise in full of the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares.
We have invested heavily in developing and commercializing our Cardiac Recovery System platform. We have also made significant investments in clinical studies to demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of our ASSURE WCD and to support applications for regulatory approvals. We have made and will continue to make significant investments to build our sales and marketing organization, and we intend to continue to increase the size of our commercial team to market our product in the United States.

Commercial Organization. We have made and continue to make significant investments in recruiting, training and retaining our direct sales force and supporting commercial infrastructure. Successfully recruiting and training additional commercial team members is required to achieve growth. As of April 30, 2026, we had approximately 130 territories in the United States compared to 80 as of April 30, 2025. We have in the past and expect in the future to enter into compensation arrangements with our commercial team that may include minimum guaranteed commissions.
