Biomerica completed a pilot program for inFoods® IBS with a 1,100 physician group, anticipating a possible system-wide launch of the product. The inFoods® IBS aims to identify individual food triggers for IBS symptoms and has shown strong success in clinical studies, potentially improving patient outcomes.
In active discussions with distribution partners, Biomerica is working on expanding availability of inFoods® IBS both in the United States and internationally. The company is also in talks with major clinical labs and distributors for its hp+detect™ product, designed to detect Helicobacter pylori, a leading cause of stomach ulcers.
First quarter fiscal 2025 financial results for Biomerica showed a 6% year-over-year revenue increase, reaching $1.8 million. Although monthly gross margin was 16%, down from 24% the previous year, the company experienced a rise in operating expenses due to one-time severance costs associated with the cost-saving plan.
