Milestone Scientific Reports Financial Results for Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2025
Q4 2025 Marks Transition from Restructuring to Growth
For 2026, Expects Double-Digit Revenue Growth, 400% Increase in CompuFlo Sales, and Continued Progress Toward Profitability
ROSELAND, N.J., March 31, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Milestone Scientific Inc. (NYSE:MLSS), a leading developer of computerized drug delivery instruments that provide painless and precise injections, today provided a business update and announced financial results for the year ended December 31, 2025.
Eric Hines, Chief Executive Officer of Milestone Scientific commented:
"When I joined Milestone in August 2025, we were in the middle of the third quarter following a period without consistent executive leadership. During that time, certain spending had occurred that was not always aligned with revenue generation or disciplined capital allocation. Since August, the Company has taken deliberate steps to strengthen financial discipline across the organization, scrutinizing every expense, prioritizing initiatives tied to revenue and measurable ROI, and eliminating spending that does not directly support our path to sustainable growth. We also made a conscious decision not to raise new capital simply to fund inefficient practices. Instead, our focus has been on responsible stewardship of shareholder capital and building a stronger operational foundation
"Under new leadership, the Company has been focused on understanding the business, restructuring and building the right team. In the fourth quarter, we began transitioning to a more offensive posture, launching our dental ambassador program as a pilot in December, relaunching our CompuFlo® commercialization efforts and increasing our investment in digital marketing. Our dental business remains the foundation of our company, with continued strength internationally and significant room for domestic expansion. The Company is also processing registrations in Japan, India and Mexico for STA. On the medical side, the Company has secured multiple new distribution partners for CompuFlo®, as well as identifying two national and several local VA channels. At the same time, we are increasingly encouraged by the potential of CompuFlo®, our proprietary system for precise, controlled epidural injections, which we believe represents a transformative growth driver as reimbursement and clinical adoption expand.
"As we enter 2026, we expect to transition from a period of stabilization to a more offensive posture, investing selectively in initiatives that accelerate growth while maintaining financial discipline. In January, we launched our dental ambassador program nationally, with plans to expand the model to CompuFlo® over time, and in February, we launched our CompuFlo® advisor program with more than ten physician partners and dedicated reimbursement support infrastructure. We expect these efforts, along with continued strength in our dental business and expansion into new international markets to begin contributing to revenue growth over the coming quarters, with more pronounced impact anticipated in the second and third quarters of 2026 as these initiatives gain scale. Our objective is clear: position the Company to achieve cash flow breakeven in early 2027 and create long-term shareholder value."
Financial Results for the Three Months Ended December 31, 2025
For the three months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, total revenue was $2,1 million and $2.0 million, respectively, an increase of 2.2% or $45,000.
Gross profit for the three months ended December 31, 2025 was $1.5 million, unchanged compared to $1.5 million in the prior year period.
Operating loss for the three months ended December 31, 2025 was $1.1 million, an 89% improvement of $963,000 compared to an operating loss of $2.0 million in the prior year period. Net loss was $1.1 million,compared to a net loss of $2.0 million,in the prior year period.
Financial Results for the Year Ended December 31, 2025
For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, total revenue was $9.0 million and $8.6 million, respectively, an increase of 4% or $344,000. The increase reflects higher international dental sales, which were partially offset by a decline in domestic U.S. dental sales. International dental sales increased 9% year over year, while domestic dental sales decreased 7%.
Gross profit for 2025 was $6.4 million, relatively unchanged from $6.4 million in 2024 reflecting changes in product mix and cost structure.
Operating loss for 2025 was $5.7 million, an improvement of $1.1 million compared to an operating loss of $6.8 million in 2024. The improvement was driven by lower SG&A and lower dental-related research and development expense. Net loss was $5.7 million, or $(0.07) per share, compared to a net loss of $4.7 million, or $(0.06) per share, in 2024.
As of December 31, 2025, the Company had cash of $1.1million, working capital of $3.3 million, and $800,000 in convertible debt outstanding.
2026 Outlook
For the year ending December 31, 2026, management expects total revenue to be in the range of $9.8 million to $10.2 million, reflecting double digit revenue growth driven by broadening commercial adoption across both the dental and medical segments. Within that range, CompuFlo revenue is expected to be $500,000 to $600,000, representing an approximately 400% increase over 2025. Combined with the structural cost reductions implemented in 2025, this 2026 revenue growth is expected to yield improved operating leverage and a meaningful reduction in cash burn relative to the prior year.
