Milestone Scientific Achieves 25% Increase in Revenue for the Second Quarter of 2025
ROSELAND, N.J., Aug. 14, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Milestone Scientific Inc. (NYSE:MLSS), a leading developer of computerized drug delivery instruments that provide painless and precise injections, today provides a business update and reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2025.
Neal Goldman, Chairman of the Board, stated, "We are pleased with our revenue performance in the second quarter, delivering a 25% increase in revenue to $2.3 million, driven by strong international dental sales, which more than doubled year-over-year. We also maintained a strong gross margin of 70%, reflecting the benefits of our high-margin dental business and disciplined cost management. Equally important, we have significantly strengthened our leadership and governance to support the next phase of accelerated growth — beginning with the appointment of Eric Hines as our new CEO. Eric brings exceptional experience leading successful organizations and driving operational excellence, and we are confident in his ability to guide Milestone through its next chapter. In addition, Jason Papes has joined as Senior Vice President, Global Head of Sales and Marketing, bringing a proven track record in building and executing global sales strategies. We also welcomed a new member to our Board of Directors — Shanth Thiyagalingam, an accomplished medtech executive with over 20 years of global leadership in commercial growth, product innovation, and reimbursement strategy. Together, these appointments significantly enhance our capabilities as we execute our growth strategy across both the medical and dental segments."
Eric Hines, CEO of Milestone Scientific, added, "With this strong foundation in place, we are now positioned to accelerate our momentum in both our dental and medical businesses. In addition to our revenue growth, we have taken steps to further streamline operations across the organization, aligning our efforts with our goal of achieving positive cash flow company-wide. In dental, we are capitalizing on the success of our direct sales model, our strengthened e-commerce platform, and targeted marketing campaigns to drive further adoption of our STA® system."
"In medical, we are building on recent milestones — including securing Medicare Part B payment rate assignment under CPT® code 0777T in multiple jurisdictions and gaining initial coverage from commercial insurers — to advance the adoption of our CompuFlo® Epidural System in leading institutions. Our Federal Supply Schedule (FSS) contract also provides access to key U.S. government healthcare facilities, creating meaningful new growth channels."
"Looking ahead, our focus is on disciplined execution and expansion. We intend to broaden our federal presence, deepen JMAC coverage, expand internationally with new distribution partners, and unlock untapped potential in both the dental and the medical businesses. I am confident that the combination of our innovative technology, talented team, and clear strategic priorities will translate into sustainable growth and long-term value for our shareholders," concluded Hines.
