Shares of CorMedix were higher after the company reported preliminary fourth-quarter results that beat the company's and analysts' expectations.
The company's stock increased 21% to $9.63 in morning trading Tuesday. For the year, shares are up 23%.
CorMedix said it is shipping DefenCath, its tool to reduce the incidence of catheter-related bloodstream infections, to all three of its mid-sized dialysis operator customers and has seen continuous ordering of increasing sizes throughout the quarter.
The Berkeley Heights, N.J.-based pharmaceutical company also announced a deal with Syneos Health for inpatient expansion and to reinforce its commitment to grow DefenCath across settings of care.
The company said Tuesday that it sees fourth-quarter revenue of $31 million, surpassing analysts' expectations of $19.7 million, according to FactSet.
CorMedix also sees full-year sales of around $43 million, beating the $32 million analysts polled by FactSet expected.
The company's preliminary results surpassed its guidance of becoming breakeven by year-end, said Chief Executive Joe Todisco.
"I believe we begin 2025 in a strong position," Todisco said.
