Total net revenues increased $2.1 million, or 23.3%, to $10.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2025. Domestic core growth of 17.8% was primarily due to subcutaneous immunoglobulin (SCIg) market growth driven by new patient starts and market share gains. International core growth of 71.3% was primarily due to increased penetration in established markets and subcutaneous immunoglobulin (SCIg) market growth driven by new patient starts. PST net revenues for the fourth quarter of 2025 were $0.5 million, a decrease of 30.1% over the prior year period, primarily driven by lower NRE collaboration revenue resulting from the timing of project milestones.

Gross profit increased $1.3 million, or 22.6%, to $6.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to the fourth quarter of 2024. Gross margin was 62.6%, a decrease of 30 basis points, compared to 62.9% in the prior year period. The decrease in gross margin was primarily driven by higher material cost and tariffs, mostly offset by customer mix resulting in higher average selling prices.

Total operating expenses increased $0.2 million, or 3.0%, to $7.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2025 primarily driven by 2024 performance-based compensation expenses.

Net loss decreased $1.1 million to $0.5 million or ($0.01) per diluted share for the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to a net loss of $1.6 million, or ($0.03) per diluted share, for the prior year period. Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter was $0.5 million, or $0.01 per diluted share versus ($0.70) million or ($0.02) per diluted share in the prior year period. A reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA and adjusted diluted EPS to the most directly comparable GAAP measures is provided at the end of this press release.

Total net revenues increased $7.5 million, or 22.2%, to $41.1 million, for the year ended December 31, 2025, as compared with the same period last year. Domestic core growth of 11.0% was primarily attributed to subcutaneous immunoglobulin (SCIg) market growth and new account share gains. International core growth of 80.0% was primarily driven by SCIg market growth driven by new patient starts, increased penetration in several established EU markets, and entry into multiple new geographic markets. PST net revenues decreased $0.1 million, or 5.6%, driven by lower NRE collaborations revenues resulting from the timing of project milestones partially offset by higher clinical trial orders when compared to the prior year.

Gross profit increased $4.3 million, or 20.0%, to $25.6 million, in the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024, driven by the increase in net revenues of $7.5 million partially offset by an increase in manufacturing costs. Gross margin decreased to 62.3% in the year ended 2025 compared to 63.4% for the year ended 2024, primarily driven by higher materials costs, tariff-related charges, and geographic sales mix from outside the United States, partially offset by higher average selling prices in the US market.

Total operating expenses increased $0.8 million, or 2.9%, to $28.6 million in the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to $27.8 million from the same period last year driven primarily by compensation and legal fees.

Net loss decreased $3.4 million to $2.6 million or ($0.06) per diluted share for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to a net loss of $6.1 million, or ($0.13) per diluted share, for the prior year period, driven by higher gross profit of $4.3 million, partially offset by an increase in operating expense of $0.8 million. Adjusted EBITDA for the full year was $0.6 million, or $0.01 per diluted share versus ($2.5) million or ($0.06) per diluted share in the prior year period. A reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA and adjusted diluted EPS to the most directly comparable GAAP measures is provided at the end of this press release.

Cash and cash equivalents were $8.9 million as of December 31, 2025, reflecting cash generation of $0.4 million for fourth quarter of 2025 and cash usage of $0.7 million for the full year 2025.
