Conference Call Today, August 14, 2025, at 8:30am Eastern Time

YAVNE, Israel, Aug. 14, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- MediWound Ltd. (NASDAQ:MDWD), a global leader in next-generation enzymatic therapeutics for tissue repair, today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2025, and provided a corporate update.

"We continue to execute across our clinical, commercial, and operational objectives," said Ofer Gonen, Chief Executive Officer of MediWound. "The VALUE Phase III trial of EscharEx^® is actively recruiting patients, and with the addition of Convatec and Essity to our clinical partnerships, we are now collaborating with all relevant leading global wound care companies. In the U.S., NexoBrid^® is gaining commercial traction, and our manufacturing expansion remains on track to meet the anticipated growth in demand. The solid progress in the first half of 2025 reinforces our confidence in our long-term strategy and our commitment to value creation.

Second Quarter 2025 Highlights, Recent Developments, and Upcoming Milestones:

EscharEx^®

• Enrollment in the global VALUE Phase III study for the treatment of venous leg ulcers (VLUs) is ongoing. The trial aims to enroll 216 patients across 40 sites in the U.S. and Europe. Interim sample size assessment is planned for mid-2026, after 65% of patients complete treatment.
• Established new collaborations with Essity and Convatec to support EscharEx trials. The VALUE Phase III VLU trial now includes JOBST^®, a leading medical compression therapy brand, while the planned DFU trial will incorporate AQUACEL^®, a market-leading wound dressing. These partnerships complement the existing ones with Solventum, Mölnlycke, Kerecis, and MIMEDX, reflecting strong industry recognition of EscharEx's clinical value and potential.
• Published a post-hoc analysis of new data from the EscharEx Phase II trial in Advances in Wound Care, a peer-reviewed journal, providing clinical evidence that wound bed preparation is a key predictor of healing in venous leg ulcers.

NexoBrid^®

• U.S. adoption continues to grow. Vericel, MediWound's exclusive U.S. commercial partner, reported 52% year-over-year revenue growth for NexoBrid in the second quarter, supported by increases in both hospital unit orders and the number of ordering centers.
• Commissioning of MediWound's expanded manufacturing facility—engineered to increase NexoBrid production capacity six-fold—remains on track, with full operational readiness anticipated by year-end 2025. Regulatory review will determine commercial availability timelines.
• As part of a BARDA-funded initiative, planning continues for future U.S.-based manufacturing to support global demand.
• Received an additional $3.6 million in funding from the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) to advance development of a room temperature-stable formulation of NexoBrid. The supplemental funding will support expanded CMC activities, enhancement of in-house manufacturing capabilities, and initial preparations for a clinical trial.

Second Quarter 2025 Financial Highlights

• Revenue for the second quarter of 2025 increased to $5.7 million, compared to $5.1 million in the same period of 2024.
• Gross profit totaled $1.3 million, or 23.5% of total revenue, compared to $0.4 million, or 8.8% of total revenue, in the prior-year period. The margin improvement reflects a more favorable revenue mix.
• Research and development expenses were $3.5 million, compared to $1.9 million a year ago, driven by increased investment in the EscharEx VALUE Phase III trial and related clinical activities.        
• Selling, general and administrative expenses were $3.6 million, compared to $3.0 million in the second quarter of 2024, primarily due to higher share-based compensation expenses.
• Operating loss was $5.7 million, compared to $4.5 million in the same period last year.
• Net loss was $13.3 million, or $1.23 per share, compared to $6.3 million, or $0.68 per share, in the second quarter of 2024. The year-over-year increase was primarily driven by $6.6 million in non-cash financial expenses in the second quarter of 2025, related to the revaluation of warrants.
• Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA loss was $4.5 million, compared to a loss of $3.4 million in the prior-year quarter.

Year-to-Date 2025 Financial Highlights

• Revenue for the first half of 2025 was $9.7 million, compared to $10.0 million in the same period of 2024. The decrease primarily reflects lower BARDA-funded development services revenue as NexoBrid development nears completion.
• Gross profit totaled $2.1 million, or 21.5% of total revenue, compared to $1.1 million, or 10.5% of total revenue, in the first half of 2024. The margin improvement reflects a more favorable revenue mix.
• Research and development expenses were $6.4 million, compared to $3.4 million in the same period of 2024, reflecting increased investment in the EscharEx VALUE Phase III trial and related clinical activities.
• Selling, general and administrative expenses were $6.6 million, compared to $5.9 million in the first half of 2024, primarily due to higher share-based compensation expenses.
• Operating loss was $10.9 million, compared to $8.2 million in the same period of 2024.
• Net loss was $14.0 million, or $1.30 per share, compared to $16.0 million, or $1.73 per share, in the first half of 2024.
• Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA loss was $8.5 million, compared to a loss of $6.2 million in the same period of 2024.

Balance Sheet Highlights

As of June 30, 2025, MediWound had cash, cash equivalents, and short-term deposits of $32.9 million, compared to $43.6 million as of December 31, 2024. During the first half of 2025, the Company used $11.9 million to fund operations, including $2.3 million in capital expenditures primarily related to manufacturing scale-up. MediWound received $0.7 million in proceeds from the exercise of Series A warrants during the quarter, with an additional $1.8 million received after quarter-end.

Non-IFRS Financial Measures

To supplement consolidated financial statements prepared and presented in accordance with IFRS, the Company has provided a supplementary non-IFRS measure to consider in evaluating the Company's performance. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA, which it defines as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, impairment, one-time expenses, restructuring and share-based compensation expenses.

Although Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of performance or liquidity calculated in accordance with IFRS, we believe the non-IFRS financial measures we present provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our operating results primarily because they exclude certain non-cash charges or items that we do not believe are reflective of our ongoing operating results when budgeting, planning and forecasting and determining compensation, and when assessing the performance of our business with our senior management. However, investors should not consider these measures in isolation or as substitutes for operating income, cash flows from operating activities or any other measure for determining the Company's operating performance or liquidity that is calculated in accordance with IFRS. In addition, because Adjusted EBITDA is not calculated in accordance with IFRS, it may not necessarily be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies. The non-IFRS measures included in this press release have been reconciled to the IFRS results in the tables below.
