HLTT...yesterday's 8-K presents two interesting scenarios......
The 8-K filed yesterday disclosed that HLTT and an unidentified company have signed a binding term sheet regarding the potential acquisition of the rights/assets/IP of HLTT's wound care business, or a manufacturing agreement between the two companies. The filing presents two scenarios -- one where HLTT sells the business and becomes a distributor, and one where HLTT manufactures product for the other company. I don't know which of these scenarios I prefer. They both have benefits/drawbacks. But one thing seems to be clear, based on the terms of this deal: HLTT's wound care business is set to experience some pretty explosive revenue growth beginning around November/December of this year.
The two scenarios......
1) HLTT sells the business to the purchaser for a net $17M (spread out over 15 equal monthly payments, and factors in a $500K equipment financing the other company is providing), and HLTT's subsidiary becomes a distributor of the wound care products for the purchaser. It is difficult to guess at this point what the revenue number for HLTT might be in this scenario because it would be possible that HLTT would be a non-exclusive distributor. There is a section in the agreement that mentions HLTT's subsidiary would retain 65% of revenue in a distributor situation. Based on some information in the filing there is a possibility that HLTT and the other company expect the DermaBind product to generate a minimum of $65-87M of revenue during fiscal 2024.
2) HLTT retains ownership of the business and contract manufactures the wound care products for the other company. Beginning around November 18 the contract manufacturing revenue for HLTT would be a minimum of $1.5M per month ($4.5M per quarter). Again, that is just the minimum level agreed upon between the two parties. Apparently if HLTT could ramp up production quickly, the other company would be willing to accept by November 18 an amount of product that would generate $2M per month in manufacturing revenue for HLTT.
