Financial Results for the Fourth Quarter Ended December 31, 2025

For the fourth quarter of 2025, total revenue was $3.1 million, representing an increase of 62%, as compared to $1.9 million during the same period of 2024 and a sequential increase of 25% over the third quarter of 2025.

U.S. revenue for the fourth quarter of 2025 was $0.9 million, representing sequential growth of 74% during the Company's second quarter of launch of CGuard Prime. International revenue was $2.3 million, a 17% increase over the fourth quarter of 2024, reflecting increased penetration of international markets with CGuard.

Gross profit for the fourth quarter of 2025 was $1.2 million, or 37.5% of revenue, compared to $0.5 million, or 24.1% of revenue, for the same period of 2024. The increase in gross margin (gross profit as a percentage of revenue) was driven by a favorable shift in sales mix towards significantly higher margin revenue from sales in the U.S.

Total operating expenses for the fourth quarter of 2025 were $13.3 million, an increase of $3.5 million, compared to $9.8 for the fourth quarter of 2024. This increase was primarily due to greater headcount-related expenses for the U.S. commercial team, as well as additional investment in resources and infrastructure to support the U.S. commercial launch of CGuard Prime.

Financial income, net for the fourth quarter of 2025 was $0.4 million, an increase of $0.1 million, compared to financial income of $0.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2024. This increase was primarily due to an increase in financial income from investments in marketable securities and money market funds, partially offset by an increase in financial expenses related to changes in exchange rates.

Net loss for the fourth quarter of 2025 was $11.8 million or $0.14 per basic and diluted share, compared to a net loss of $9.2 million or $0.19 per basic and diluted share, for the same period in 2024.

Financial Results for the Year Ended December 31, 2025

For the full year 2025, total revenue was $9.0 million, representing an increase of 28%, as compared to $7.0 million during the full year 2024.

U.S. revenue for the full year 2025 was $1.4 million, representing the first two quarters of launch of CGuard Prime in the U.S. International revenue was $7.6 million, an 8% increase over the full year 2024 driven by increasing sales of CGuard through distributors in key international markets.

Gross profit for the full year 2025 was $2.7 million, or 29.5% of revenue, compared to $1.5 million, or 21.5% of revenue, for the full year 2024. Gross margin was driven by a favorable shift in sales mix towards significantly higher margin revenue from sales in the U.S.

Total operating expenses for the full year 2025 were $52.3 million, an increase of $17.3 million, compared to $35.0 million for the full year 2024. This increase was primarily due to greater headcount-related expenses for the U.S. commercial team, as well as additional resources and infrastructure to support the U.S. commercial launch of CGuard Prime.

Financial income, net for the full year 2025 was $0.9 million, a decrease of $0.7 million compared to financial income of $1.6 million for the full year 2024. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in financial income from investments in marketable securities and money market funds and an increase in financial expenses related to changes in exchange rates.

Net loss for the full year 2025 was $48.8 million or $0.76 per basic and diluted share, compared to a net loss of $32.0 million or $0.76 per basic and diluted share, for the full year 2024.

As of December 31, 2025, cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities were $54.2 million compared to $34.6 million as of December 31, 2024.

The Company is providing its initial expectations for full year 2026. Management currently expects revenue for the full year 2026 to be in the range of $13 million to $15 million, reflecting expected revenue growth of approximately 45% to 65% over 2025.
