Tivic Reports Second Quarter 2025 Financial Results

Company advances its TLR5 agonist program and prepares to report VNS clinical data

Tivic Health® Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:TIVC), a diversified immunotherapeutics company, today announced financial results for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2025.

"We have established a strong foundation for Tivic's strategic transformation with our expansion into biopharmaceuticals, making us unique in treating disease by addressing both the body's biochemical and bioelectronic systems," stated Tivic CEO Jennifer Ernst.

"To maximize our focus on the compelling, late-stage clinical pipeline, we have increasingly shifted resources away from consumer healthtech and are now planning to exit the ClearUP business by the end of this year," continued Ernst. "I look forward to advancing the commercialization of these life-saving therapies, supporting our strategy to increase shareholder value through this transformation."

Corporate Highlights from the Second Quarter and Subsequent Weeks, included:

• Securing positive interest in potential military and defense applications for drug candidate Entolimod™ to treat ARS during briefings with the White House and U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) officials.
• Extending the worldwide license of Entolimod™ to include the treatment of neutropenia, a condition that reduces the body's ability to combat infections and has a wide range of causes - from genetics to cancer treatments and age.
• Entering into a GMP manufacturing validation agreement with Scorpius Biomanufacturing, Inc. as part of preparing for the FDA biologics license application process.
• Completing all study visits in the Optimization Study for its patent-pending, non-invasive cervical vagus nerve stimulation (ncVNS) device.
• Raising $1.4 million from the first and second tranche of a preferred equity purchase agreement that provides for up to $8.4 million in total financing.
• Entering into a $25 million equity line of credit that generated net proceeds of $547,000.
• Receiving shareholder approval of key measures in support of Tivic transformation strategy.
• Expanding biopharmaceutical team with regulatory, clinical and business development staff.
• Naming Lisa Wolf as CFO following her nine-month tenure as interim CFO.

Financial Performance:

• Revenue (net of returns) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 totaled $86,000 and $156,000, respectively, compared with $140,000 and $474,000 for 2024. The decreases are due to lower unit sales of ClearUP™ to treat sinus pain and pressure. The lower sales are attributable to decreases in advertising expenses as the company focused resources on accelerating its TLR5 program for the development of Entolimod™ for ARS.
• Gross profit in the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 was $54,000 and $104,000, respectively, compared to $30,000 and $197,000 in 2024.
• Gross margin was 67% in the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to 42% in 2024.
• Operating expenses in the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 was $2.0 million and $3.5 million, respectively, compared to $1.3 million and $3.0 million in 2024. The increases were primarily due to the addition of the biopharma programs in February 2025.
• Net loss of $1.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $1.3 million in the second quarter of 2024. Net loss of $3.4 million for the first half of 2025, compared to $2.7 million for the first half of 2024.
• At June 30, 2025, cash and cash equivalents totaled $1.2 million, compared with $2.0 million, at December 31, 2024. Subsequent to quarter's end, the Company raised a total of $0.9 million through utilization of its equity line of credit and the sale of Series B Preferred Stock pursuant to its preferred equity purchase agreement. The company has no debt on its balance sheet.
• Approximately $7.0 million remains available as a committed investment in Tivic through a preferred equity purchase agreement. The company believes the current and committed funding is sufficient to make meaningful progress toward manufacturing validation for Entolimod.

About Tivic

Tivic's dual platform utilizes the body's biopharmaceutical and bioelectronic systems to treat unmet medical needs through targeting the immune system.

Tivic's biologics compounds activate an innate immune pathway to prevent cell death in the bone marrow and epithelial tissues across systems impacted by radiation and age. The company's lead drug candidate, Entolimod™ for acute radiation syndrome, is a novel TLR5 agonist that has been granted Fast Track designation and is in late stage development.

Tivic's bioelectronic program is developing a novel, non-invasive medical device designed to target the neural pathways implicated in many prevalent and debilitating diseases. Early trials show promising signals that Tivic's approach may regulate specific biologic responses, and the company believes its early-stage vagus nerve stimulation device has the potential to deliver clinical outcomes similar to or better than those of surgically implanted devices.
