"We are pleased with our second quarter results, which reflect our successful commercial execution as we accelerate adoption of the Ceribell System across new and existing accounts," said co-founder and CEO Jane Chao, Ph.D. "As we look to the second half of 2025, we believe we are well-positioned to drive continued growth and propel key strategies to reach more patients, advance our pipeline, and reinforce our category leadership while establishing EEG as a new vital sign."

Second Quarter 2025 Financial Results

Total revenue in the second quarter of 2025 was $21.2 million, a 38% increase from $15.3 million in the second quarter of 2024. The increase was primarily driven by continued commercial traction within our core market, resulting from adoption by new accounts and continued expansion within the company's active account base. Product revenue for the second quarter of 2025 was $15.9 million, representing an increase of 38% from $11.6 million in the second quarter of 2024. Subscription revenue for the second quarter of 2025 was $5.3 million, representing an increase of 41% from $3.7 million in the second quarter of 2024.

Gross profit in the second quarter of 2025 was $18.7 million, compared to $13.2 million for the second quarter of 2024. Gross margin for the second quarter of 2025 was 88%, compared to 86% for the same period in 2024.

Operating expenses in the second quarter of 2025 were $33.6 million, compared to $21.6 million for the second quarter of 2024, representing an increase of 56%. The increase in operating expenses was primarily attributable to investments in the company's commercial organization, increased headcount to support the growth of the business, legal expenses, and expenses related to operating as a public company.

Net loss in the second quarter of 2025 was $13.6 million, or $0.38 net loss per share, compared to a net loss of $8.9 million, or $1.61 net loss per share, for the same period in 2024.

Cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities totaled $177.4 million as of June 30, 2025.

Ceribell is raising its revenue guidance for the full year 2025 to a range of $85 million to $88 million, representing growth of approximately 30% to 34% over the company's prior year revenue.
