This press release replaces the press release issued on November 13, 2025, at 10:11 pm CET / 4:11 pm ET in order to replace and correct the gross proceeds of the private placement and registered direct offering and to add a paragraph under the header “Additional Information” (statutory auditor’s assessment)

Mont-Saint-Guibert, Belgium – November 14, 2025, 1:30 am CET / November 13, 7:30 pm ET – Nyxoah SA (Euronext Brussels/Nasdaq: NYXH) (“Nyxoah” or the “Company”), a medical technology company focused on the development and commercialization of innovative solutions to treat Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) through neuromodulation, today announced a €17 million private placement of equity, a U.S. $5.6 million registered direct offering, combined with a convertible bond financing of up to €45 million.

The private placement consists of the issuance of 4,265,714 new ordinary shares at a subscription price per share of €4.00 (approximately U.S. $4.6304 at current exchange rates) with gross proceeds totaling €17 million (approximately U.S. $20 million at current exchange rates). The closing of the private placement is expected to occur on or about November 17, 2025, subject to customary closing conditions. Degroof Petercam acted as the sole book runner for this private placement.

The ordinary shares are being sold in a private placement and have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements.

Additionally, the registered direct offering consists of the issuance of 1,215,964 new ordinary shares at a price per share of U.S. $4.6304 with gross proceeds totaling approximately U.S. $5.6 million. The closing of the registered direct offering is expected to occur on or about November 18, 2025, subject to customary closing conditions.

The registered direct offering is being made pursuant to an effective shelf registration statement on Form F-3 (File No. 333- 268955) which was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on January 6, 2023. The offering is being made only by means of a prospectus which is part of the effective registration statement. A prospectus supplement and the accompanying base prospectus relating to the registered direct offering will be filed with the SEC and will be available on the SEC’s website located at http://www.sec.gov.

Additionally, the Company entered into a subscription agreement with an international financial services firm for the issuance of convertible bonds for an aggregate maximum principal amount of up to €45 million (approximately U.S. $52 million at current exchange rate). The financing consists of a first tranche of up to €22.5 million with an option to issue a second tranche of €22.5 million at Nyxoah’s discretion, during the 30 days beginning seven months from the closing date subject to certain conditions. The closing for the first tranche of bonds is expected to occur in December 2025, subject to customary closing conditions. The first tranche of bonds will be issued at 92 per cent of their principal amount and carry an interest rate of 6.5 per cent per annum, payable every quarter in arrears. The bonds have a three-year maturity from issuance with quarterly amortization payments of principal and interest. The default conversion price for the first tranche of bonds, which can be modified on a downward basis, shall be equal to EUR 5.00, which represents 125 per cent of the placement price of the Shares being issued pursuant to the private placement.

The net proceeds from the convertible bonds together with the net proceeds of the private placement, will be used (i) to support commercialization activities in the United States and advance the commercialization of the Genio system in the Company’s initial target markets outside the United States; (ii) to continue gathering clinical data and to support physician-initiated clinical research projects related to OSA patient treatments; (iii) to further finance research and development activities related to Genio system upgrades, re-designing the Company’s products for manufacturability and cost reduction initiatives; (iv) to continue to build a pipeline of new technologies and explore potential collaboration opportunities in the field of monitoring and diagnostics for OSA; and (v) for other general corporate purposes, including, but not limited to, working capital, capital expenditures, investments, acquisitions, should the Company choose to pursue any, and collaborations.

This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy the securities, nor shall there be any sale of the securities in any state in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to the registration or qualification under the securities laws of such state.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

The following information is provided pursuant to article 7:97 of the Belgian Code on companies and associations. The investors that have participated in the private placement include, among others, (either directly or through entities controlled by them) Robert Taub, who is the chairman of the board of directors, Jürgen Hambrecht and Daniel Wildman (permanent representative of Wildman Ventures LLC), who are independent directors, Olivier Taelman, CEO and director of the Company, John Landry, CFO of the Company and Scott Holstine, Chief Commercial Officer of the Company. Together, these investors have subscribed to 356,250 new shares for EUR 1.425 million in gross proceeds at an issue price equal to EUR 4.00.

As Robert Taub, Jürgen Hambrecht, Daniel Wildman, Olivier Taelman, John Landry and Scott Holstine qualify as related parties of the Company, the board of directors applied the related parties procedure of article 7:97 of the Belgian Code on companies and associations in connection with the participation of the aforementioned related parties in the private placement. Within the context of the aforementioned procedure, prior to resolving on the private placement, a committee of three independent directors of the Company consisting of Rita Johnson-Mills, Virginia Kirby and Kevin Rakin (the “Committee”) issued an advice to the board of directors in which the Committee assessed the participation of the six aforementioned investors in the private placement. In its advice to the board of directors, the Committee concluded the following: “Based on the information provided, the Committee considers that the proposed Transaction is in line with the strategy pursued by the Company, will be done on market terms, and is unlikely to lead to disadvantages for the Company and its shareholders (in terms of dilution) that are not sufficiently compensated by the advantages that the Transaction offers the Company”.

The Company’s board of directors approved the principle of the private placement and did not deviate from the Committee’s advice.

The Company’s statutory auditor’s assessment of the Committee’s advice and the minutes of the meeting of the Company’s board of directors, is as follows: “Based on our assessment, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the financial and accounting data included in the opinion of the committee of independent directors dated 13 November 2025 and in the minutes of the board of directors dated 13 November 2025, justifying the proposed transaction, are not fair and adequate in all material respects in light of the information available to it in connection with its engagement. Our assignment was carried out solely within the framework of the provisions of Article 7:97 of the Companies and Associations Code and our report cannot therefore be used in any other context.”

“LEQEMBI®” (lecanemab) IV Maintenance Dosing for the Treatment of Early Alzheimer’s Disease Approved in the United Kingdom

“LEQEMBI®” (lecanemab) IV Maintenance Dosing for the Treatment of Early Alzheimer’s Disease Approved in the United Kingdom




“LEQEMBI®” (lecanemab) IV Maintenance Dosing for the Treatment of Early Alzheimer’s Disease Approved in the United Kingdom

TOKYO and CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Nov. 13, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Eisai Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Tokyo, CEO: Haruo Naito, “Eisai”) and Biogen Inc. (Nasdaq: BIIB, Corporate headquarters: Cambridge, Massachusetts, CEO: Christopher A. Viehbacher, “Biogen”) announced today that humanized anti- soluble aggregated amyloid-beta (Aβ) monoclonal antibody “LEQEMBI®” (generic name: lecanemab) has been approved for once every four weeks intravenous (IV) maintenance dosing by the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) in the United Kingdom.

In August 2024, LEQEMBI was approved for the treatment of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and mild dementia due to Alzheimer’s disease (AD) in adult patients that are apolipoprotein E ε4 (ApoE ε4)* heterozygotes or non-carriers in the United Kingdom. With this latest approval for IV maintenance dosing, after 18 months of a dosing regimen of 10 mg/kg once every two weeks patients may be transitioned to the maintenance dosing regimen of 10 mg/kg once every four weeks, or the regimen of 10 mg/kg once every two weeks may be continued.

AD is a progressive, relentless disease characterized by formation of protein deposits known as plaques made of amyloid-beta aggregates and neurofibrillary tangles made of tau protein in the brains of people living with AD. It is caused by a continuous underlying neurotoxic process that begins before amyloid plaque accumulation and continues after plaque removal.1,2 The data show that amyloid-beta protofibrils and tau tangles play roles in the neurodegeneration process,2,3 and only LEQEMBI fights AD in two ways – targeting both amyloid plaque and protofibrils**, which can impact tau downstream. Due to the reaccumulation of AD biomarkers and return to placebo rate of decline after therapy is stopped,3-5 continuing maintenance treatment after the initial 18-month therapy is essential to slow the progression of AD and extend the therapeutic benefits, helping patients maintain who they are for longer.

In the United Kingdom, it is estimated that 982,000 people are living with dementia,6 and AD is the cause in 60-70% of people with dementia.7 These numbers are expected to rise, as the population ages.6,7

Eisai serves as the lead for lecanemab’s development and regulatory submissions globally with Eisai and Biogen co-commercializing and co-promoting the product and Eisai having final decision-making authority.

* Apolipoprotein E is a protein involved in the metabolism of lipid in humans. It is implicated in AD. People with only one (heterozygous) or no copy (non-carriers) of the ApoE ε4 gene are less likely to experience ARIA than people with two ApoE ε4 copies (homozygous).8
** Protofibrils are thought to be the most toxic Aβ species that contribute to brain damage in AD and play a major role in the cognitive decline of this progressive and devastating disease. Protofibrils can cause neuronal and synaptic damage in the brain, which can subsequently adversely affect cognitive function through multiple mechanisms.3 The mechanism by which this occurs has been reported not only by increasing the formation of insoluble Aβ plaques, but also by directly damaging signaling between neurons and other cells. It is believed that reducing protofibrils may reduce neuronal damage and cognitive impairment, potentially slowing the progression of AD.4

Notes to Editors
1.   About LEQEMBI (generic name: lecanemab)
    Lecanemab is the result of a strategic research alliance between Eisai and BioArctic. It is a humanized immunoglobulin gamma (IgG1) monoclonal antibody directed against aggregated soluble (protofibril) and insoluble forms of amyloid-beta (Aβ). Lecanemab has been approved in 51 countries and is under regulatory review in 9 countries. Following the initial phase with treatment every two weeks for 18 months, intravenous (IV) maintenance dosing with treatment every four weeks was approved in the United Kingdom, the U.S, China and others, and applications have been filed in 4 countries and regions.
     
    LEQEMBI’s approvals in these countries were based on Phase 3 data from Eisai’s, global Clarity AD clinical trial, in which it met its primary endpoint and all key secondary endpoints with statistically significant results. The primary endpoint was the global cognitive and functional scale, Clinical Dementia Rating Sum of Boxes (CDR-SB).1 The U.S. FDA approved Eisai’s Biologics License Application (BLA) for subcutaneous maintenance dosing with LEQEMBI IQLIK in August 2025. In September 2025, the rolling sBLA application to the U.S. FDA for the subcutaneous initiation dosing with LEQEMBI IQLIK was also initiated.
     
    Since July 2020 the Phase 3 clinical study (AHEAD 3-45) for individuals with preclinical AD, meaning they are clinically normal and have intermediate or elevated levels of amyloid in their brains, is ongoing. AHEAD 3-45 is conducted as a public-private partnership between the Alzheimer’s Clinical Trial Consortium that provides the infrastructure for academic clinical trials in AD and related dementias in the U.S, funded by the National Institute on Aging, part of the National Institutes of Health, Eisai and Biogen. Since January 2022, the Tau NexGen clinical study for Dominantly Inherited AD (DIAD), that is conducted by Dominantly Inherited Alzheimer Network Trials Unit (DIAN-TU), led by Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, is ongoing and includes lecanemab as the backbone anti-amyloid therapy.
     
2.   About the Collaboration between Eisai and Biogen for AD
    Eisai and Biogen have been collaborating on the joint development and commercialization of AD treatments since 2014. Eisai serves as the lead of lecanemab development and regulatory submissions globally with Eisai and Biogen co-commercializing and co-promoting the product and Eisai having final decision-making authority.
     
3.   About the Collaboration between Eisai and BioArctic for AD
    Since 2005, Eisai and BioArctic have had a long-term collaboration regarding the development and commercialization of AD treatments. Eisai obtained the global rights to study, develop, manufacture and market lecanemab for the treatment of AD pursuant to an agreement with BioArctic in December 2007. The development and commercialization agreement on the antibody lecanemab back-up was signed in May 2015.

In September 2025, the rolling sBLA application to the U.S. FDA for the subcutaneous initiation dosing with LEQEMBI IQLIK was also initiated.
     
    Since July 2020 the Phase 3 clinical study (AHEAD 3-45) for individuals with preclinical AD, meaning they are clinically normal and have intermediate or elevated levels of amyloid in their brains, is ongoing. AHEAD 3-45 is conducted as a public-private partnership between the Alzheimer’s Clinical Trial Consortium that provides the infrastructure for academic clinical trials in AD and related dementias in the U.S, funded by the National Institute on Aging, part of the National Institutes of Health, Eisai and Biogen. Since January 2022, the Tau NexGen clinical study for Dominantly Inherited AD (DIAD), that is conducted by Dominantly Inherited Alzheimer Network Trials Unit (DIAN-TU), led by Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, is ongoing and includes lecanemab as the backbone anti-amyloid therapy.
     
2.   About the Collaboration between Eisai and Biogen for AD
    Eisai and Biogen have been collaborating on the joint development and commercialization of AD treatments since 2014. Eisai serves as the lead of lecanemab development and regulatory submissions globally with Eisai and Biogen co-commercializing and co-promoting the product and Eisai having final decision-making authority.
     
3.   About the Collaboration between Eisai and BioArctic for AD
    Since 2005, Eisai and BioArctic have had a long-term collaboration regarding the development and commercialization of AD treatments. Eisai obtained the global rights to study, develop, manufacture and market lecanemab for the treatment of AD pursuant to an agreement with BioArctic in December 2007. The development and commercialization agreement on the antibody lecanemab back-up was signed in May 2015.

Appili Therapeutics Reports Financial and Operational Results for Second Quarter of Fiscal Year 2026

New NIAID Non-Dilutive Funding Award of up to US $40Million with US$90 Million in Pending Proposals Across Multiple Infectious Disease Programs

LIKMEZ® (ATI-1501): Building Commercial Momentum in the U.S. Through Re-Launch and Increasing Sales Growth

HALIFAX, Nova Scotia, Nov. 13, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Appili Therapeutics Inc. (TSX:APLI; OTCPink: APLIF) (the “Company” or “Appili”), a biopharmaceutical company focused on drug development for infectious diseases and medical countermeasures, today announced its financial and operational results for the second quarter of its fiscal year 2026, which ended on September 30, 2025. All figures are in Canadian dollars unless otherwise stated.

“Strategic government partnerships are foundational to Appili’s impact in infectious disease and biodefense,” said Dr. Don Cilla, President and CEO of Appili. “The recent award of up to US$40 million for VXV-01, developed in collaboration with Vitalex Biosciences, highlights the confidence the NIAID placed in our execution, and empowers us to accelerate the development of much-needed solutions for urgent public health threats as we pursue additional high-value opportunities”.

Non-Dilutive Government Funding Strategy

Appili has submitted multiple funding proposals to U.S. government and other agencies, representing a combined potential award value of approximately US$90 million. If awarded, the awards would support critical development activities, including manufacturing optimization, preclinical and non-clinical studies, regulatory activities, IND submissions, and Phase 1 clinical trials. The Company anticipates that awards from multiple proposals may be announced in the first quarter of calendar 2026.

To date, Appili and its partners have secured over US$66 million in government contracts and grants, demonstrating the strength of its non-dilutive funding model. This strategic approach leverages public sector support for high-priority anti-infective and biodefense programs, providing sustainable capital to accelerate pipeline development without diluting shareholder value. By combining these historic achievements with current proposal submissions, Appili is well-positioned to advance infectious disease and biodefense products while maintaining financial flexibility.

ATI-1801 – Topical Antiparasitic Program with an Aligned Regulatory Path

ATI-1801 is a novel topical formulation of paromomycin (15% w/w), currently in development for the treatment of cutaneous leishmaniasis, a serious and disfiguring skin disease that affects hundreds of thousands of individuals worldwide each year.

Encouraged by recent positive FDA feedback on its scientific bridging strategy, Appili is progressing ATI-1801 toward NDA submission. The Company is pursuing non-dilutive funding from global health organizations and strategic partners to accelerate the FDA-aligned development pathway, expedite regulatory filing, and provide patient access in neglected tropical disease markets.

Additionally, Appili believes that ATI-1801 may be eligible for a Priority Review Voucher (“PRV”), when approved by the FDA. PRVs have recently been monetized for amounts in excess of US$150 million.

LIKMEZ™ (ATI-1501), Commercial Momentum Building in U.S. Market

Saptalis Pharmaceuticals, Appili’s manufacturing and commercialization partner, successfully re-launched LIKMEZ® (metronidazole oral suspension, 500 mg/5 mL) in the U.S. market, the first and only FDA-approved liquid oral formulation of metronidazole. Since the re-launch in May 2025, LIKMEZ has seen a steady increase in sales, reflecting strong demand among clinicians and patients seeking improved anti-infective therapy options.

Under the terms of the partnership with Saptalis, Appili is eligible to receive both milestone payments and ongoing royalties from the sales of LIKMEZ in the U.S., creating a growing source of commercial revenue for the Company.

ATI-1701 – Biodefense Vaccine Candidate Achieves Key Manufacturing and Scientific Milestones

ATI-1701, a live-attenuated vaccine candidate for tularemia, progressed through activities funded under the Company’s US$11.6 million Cooperative Agreement with the U.S. Air Force Academy.

During the quarter, Appili achieved a key operational milestone with the successful GMP manufacture of ATI-1701 drug substance and drug product at its contract manufacturing organization. The GMP drug product may be used in a Phase 1 clinical trial. 

In September 2025, Dr. Carl Gelhaus presented new ATI-1701 data at the NATO Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear Conference, showcasing its promise as a first-in-class tularemia vaccine for biodefense. A new peer-reviewed publication, co-authored by Dr. Gelhaus, reinforced these findings by demonstrating ATI-1701’s durable protection in primate models, further advancing its momentum as a leading biodefense candidate.

Appili has recently submitted a new application for non-dilutive funding to enable the completion of activities needed to advance ATI-1701 to IND submission with the FDA.

Appili believes that ATI-1701 will be eligible for a PRV, when approved by the FDA, subject to renewal of pending legislation in the U.S., representing the Company’s second potentially PRV-eligible asset.

VXV-01 – Collaborated Vaccine Program with Exclusive Acquisition Option and Major U.S. Funding

During the quarter, Appili entered into an agreement with Vitalex to develop and submit a proposal to advance VXV-01, Vitalex’s first-in-class, dual-antigen vaccine targeting multidrug-resistant Candida species. The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (“NIAID’), part of the National Institutes of Health selected this proposal to award and the project is now under a U.S. government contract. The NIAID contract is valued at up to US$40 million over five years and supports development through IND-enabling activities, IND, and Phase 1 clinical studies.

VXV-01 is designed to address the urgent global need for improved fungal infection prophylaxis, especially in high-risk, immunocompromised groups, where current antifungal treatments are limited by resistance and toxicity.

Under the executed agreement with Vitalex, Appili holds an exclusive option to acquire worldwide rights to the VXV-01 program. If this option is exercised, Appili would own the rights to the product and its intellectual property, enabling control over development, commercialization, and partnering activities. Appili’s leadership on VXV-01 diversifies the diseases that Appili is addressing and exemplifies its strategy to expand with minimal upfront risk and to maximize future growth opportunity through U.S. government partnerships and exclusive acquisition rights.

Financial Results

The Company prepares its financial statements in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standard Board and Part I of Chartered Professional Accountants of Canada Handbook–Accounting. All figures are in Canadian dollars unless otherwise stated.

For the three months ending September 30, 2025, the Company reported a net and comprehensive loss of $1.0 million ($0.01 per share), representing an increase of $0.3 million compared to the net loss of $0.7 million ($0.01 per share) for the same period in 2024. The higher loss was mainly driven by a $2.1 million reduction in government assistance and a $0.2 million increase in foreign exchange loss, partially offset by a $1.2 million decrease in research and development expenses, $0.7 million decrease in financing costs and a $0.1 million decrease in general and administrative expenses. As of September 30, 2025, the Company’s cash balance was $0.3 million, down from $1.2 million as of March 31, 2025.

As of September 30, 2025, the Company had 121,266,120 issued and outstanding Common Shares, 11,910,281 stock options, and 34,930,000 warrants outstanding.

This press release should be read in conjunction with the Company’s unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the second quarter of the 2026 fiscal year and the related MD&A, copies of which are available under the Company’s profile on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca.

Appili believes that ATI-1701 will be eligible for a PRV, when approved by the FDA, subject to renewal of pending legislation in the U.S., representing the Company’s second potentially PRV-eligible asset.

VXV-01 – Collaborated Vaccine Program with Exclusive Acquisition Option and Major U.S. Funding

During the quarter, Appili entered into an agreement with Vitalex to develop and submit a proposal to advance VXV-01, Vitalex’s first-in-class, dual-antigen vaccine targeting multidrug-resistant Candida species. The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (“NIAID’), part of the National Institutes of Health selected this proposal to award and the project is now under a U.S. government contract. The NIAID contract is valued at up to US$40 million over five years and supports development through IND-enabling activities, IND, and Phase 1 clinical studies.

VXV-01 is designed to address the urgent global need for improved fungal infection prophylaxis, especially in high-risk, immunocompromised groups, where current antifungal treatments are limited by resistance and toxicity.

Under the executed agreement with Vitalex, Appili holds an exclusive option to acquire worldwide rights to the VXV-01 program. If this option is exercised, Appili would own the rights to the product and its intellectual property, enabling control over development, commercialization, and partnering activities. Appili’s leadership on VXV-01 diversifies the diseases that Appili is addressing and exemplifies its strategy to expand with minimal upfront risk and to maximize future growth opportunity through U.S. government partnerships and exclusive acquisition rights.

Financial Results

The Company prepares its financial statements in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standard Board and Part I of Chartered Professional Accountants of Canada Handbook–Accounting. All figures are in Canadian dollars unless otherwise stated.

For the three months ending September 30, 2025, the Company reported a net and comprehensive loss of $1.0 million ($0.01 per share), representing an increase of $0.3 million compared to the net loss of $0.7 million ($0.01 per share) for the same period in 2024.

As of September 30, 2025, the Company’s cash balance was $0.3 million, down from $1.2 million as of March 31, 2025.

BioStem Technologies Reports Third Quarter 2025 Financial Results

POMPANO BEACH, Fla., Nov. 13, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — BioStem Technologies, Inc. (OTC: BSEM), a leading MedTech company focused on the development, manufacturing, and commercialization of placental-derived products for advanced wound care, today reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2025.

Recent Business Highlights

  • Achieved 40% growth in product volume quarter-over-quarter
  • Reported positive top-line randomized controlled trial results demonstrating superior outcomes with BioREtain® Allografts in diabetic foot ulcers as published in the International Journal of Tissue Repair and submitted to CMS for consideration for inclusion in local coverage determinations (LCDs)
  • Continued enrollment of subjects in the BioREtain® venous leg ulcer randomized controlled trial ahead of schedule, supporting progress toward top line read out in Q1 2026
  • Established a partnership with a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) to serve the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) through the launch of our American Amnion product in Q4
  • Secured land purchase at the Research Park at Florida Atlantic University in Boca Raton for future headquarters
  • Remediated all concerns noted from FDA’s prior 2023 inspection and the associated Form 483. The FDA conducted a new 361 inspection this quarter, which was completed with no nonconformances, comments or observations
  • Appointed KPMG LLP (“KPMG”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm

Financial Highlights

  • Reported restated financials in accordance with US GAAP accounting standards that reflect adjustments to the accounting treatment for the Company’s bona fide services fees paid to its commercial partner, Venture Medical
  • Generated net revenue of $10.5 million for the third quarter 2025; revenue is now reported inclusive of the contra revenue, or net of the Bonafide Services Fees paid to Venture Medical
  • Reported $0.8 million net income for the third quarter 2025, and achieved seventh consecutive quarter of positive adjusted EBITDA

“This quarter underscored the resilience of our business model, the discipline of our operations, and the strength of our team as we continued to execute through an evolving reimbursement landscape. BioStem remains well positioned financially, operationally, and clinically to lead through this transition and emerge even stronger,” said Jason Matuszewski, CEO and Chairman of the Board of BioStem. “We have taken important steps to position the company for the future, including advancing our BioREtain clinical program, expanding access through new payers and sites of care, completing our restated financial statements, and continuing to evaluate strategic acquisitions that would diversify our product portfolio and commercial channels. We continue to establish a foundation that we believe will drive market share gains and ongoing success in any future market environment.”

Third Quarter 2025 Financial Results

The following financial results are unaudited and may change pending the completion of our financial statement independent audit, including an audit of our restated financial statements which were released earlier today.

Net revenue was $10.5 million, a 43% decrease compared to Q3 2024. The decrease was primarily driven by lower volume in our wound care portfolio as a result of reimbursement uncertainty and increased competition.

Gross profit was $9.3 million, or 88.5% of net revenue, compared to $14.2 million or 77.0% of net revenue in Q3 2024. The increase reflects a product mix shift towards our products that do not carry a licensing fee in the third quarter of this year.

Operating expenses totaled $7.8 million, up from $4.9 million in Q3 2024, primarily driven by increased clinical trials activities and investments in infrastructure as the Company scales for future growth.

GAAP net income was $0.8M or $0.05 per share, compared to net income of $6.8 million or $0.42 per share in Q3 2024. 

Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter was $2.7 million, compared to $10.4 million in Q3 2024. The decline reflects lower revenue and  gross profit, and higher operating expenses.

As of September 30, 2025, cash and cash equivalents totaled $27.2 million.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures:

Our management uses financial measures that are not in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, or GAAP, in addition to financial measures in accordance with GAAP to evaluate our operating results. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered supplemental to, and not a substitute for, our reported financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Our management uses Adjusted EBITDA, which we calculate as net income less interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and share-based compensation expense, to evaluate our operating performance and trends and make planning decisions. Our management believes Adjusted EBITDA helps identify underlying trends in our business that could otherwise be masked by the effect of the items that we exclude. Accordingly, we believe that Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results, enhancing the overall understanding of our past performance and future prospects, and allowing for greater transparency with respect to key financial metrics used by our management in its financial and operational decision-making.

The following is a reconciliation of GAAP net income (loss) to non-GAAP EBITDA and non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA for each of the periods presented:

Non-GAAP Financial Measures:

Our management uses financial measures that are not in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, or GAAP, in addition to financial measures in accordance with GAAP to evaluate our operating results. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered supplemental to, and not a substitute for, our reported financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Our management uses Adjusted EBITDA, which we calculate as net income less interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and share-based compensation expense, to evaluate our operating performance and trends and make planning decisions. Our management believes Adjusted EBITDA helps identify underlying trends in our business that could otherwise be masked by the effect of the items that we exclude. Accordingly, we believe that Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results, enhancing the overall understanding of our past performance and future prospects, and allowing for greater transparency with respect to key financial metrics used by our management in its financial and operational decision-making.

The following is a reconciliation of GAAP net income (loss) to non-GAAP EBITDA and non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA for each of the periods presented:

SAN DIEGO, Nov. 13, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Daré Bioscience, Inc. (NASDAQ: DARE), a purpose-driven health biotech company solely focused on closing the gap in women’s health between promising science and real-world solutions, today reported financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2025 and provided a company update.

“Daré is executing a disciplined, multi-pronged value creation strategy — preparing to generate revenue from DARE to PLAY™ Sildenafil Cream beginning in December, while advancing a pipeline that spans both clinical innovation and near-term commercial solutions,” said Sabrina Martucci Johnson, President and CEO of Daré Bioscience.

“With four women’s health products expected to become commercially available over the next two years, and multiple grant-supported programs, we believe Daré is well positioned to deliver meaningful impact for women and strong value creation for shareholders.”

“Women’s health remains an underfunded and underserved market — and we believe the coming weeks will represent a historic inflection point for Daré and for women seeking new options. We are proud to lead with science, collaboration, and purpose,” stated Johnson.

Financial Highlights for the Quarter Ended September 30, 2025

  • Cash Position: As of September 30, 2025, Daré had approximately $23.1 million in cash and cash equivalents, and working capital of approximately $3.8 million.
  • General and Administrative Expenses: $2.5 million in Q3 2025 compared to $2.0 million in Q3 2024, with the year-over-year change primarily attributable to increases in professional services expense and commercial-readiness expenses driven by execution against the Company’s expanded business strategy, which includes earlier market access for select proprietary solutions via 503B compounding and bringing to market non-prescription consumer health products.
  • Research and Development (R&D) Expenses: $1.2 million in Q3 2025 compared to $2.7 million in Q3 2024, reflecting a decrease of 56%, primarily due to an increase in contra R&D expenses (reductions to R&D expenses due to non-dilutive funding awards), as well as decreases in manufacturing costs related to Ovaprene and in personnel costs, partially offset by increases in costs related development activities for other clinical- and preclinical-stage R&D programs, including DARE-HPV, DARE-LARC1, Sildenafil Cream, 3.6%, DARE to PLAY Sildenafil Cream, and DARE-PTB1.

About Daré Bioscience

Daré Bioscience is a purpose-driven health biotech company solely focused on closing the gap in women’s health between promising science and real-world solutions. Every innovation Daré advances is based in advanced science and backed by rigorous, peer-reviewed research. From contraception to menopause, pelvic pain to fertility, vaginal health to infectious disease, Daré is working to close critical gaps in care using science that serves her needs.

For decades, women have been told to “wait it out” or “live with it,” while innovations that could improve their quality of life languish in the regulatory or funding pipeline. With growing awareness around menopause, sexual health, and vaginal health, the conversation is shifting. However, access to real, evidence-based solutions continues to lag. Daré was founded to change that. As a female-led health biotech company, Daré is accelerating the development of credible, science-based solutions that meet the high standards of clinical rigor – randomized, controlled trials; validated endpoints; peer-reviewed publications; and current Good Manufacturing Practice (cGMP) requirements.

Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause Daré’s actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements in this press release, including, without limitation, risks and uncertainties related to: Daré’s reliance on Section 503B-registered outsourcing facilities and other third parties to bring DARE to PLAY™ Sildenafil Cream and other solutions to market as compounded drugs or as consumer health products and facilitate access to such products and the risk that those third parties do not perform as expected; difficulties in establishing and sustaining relationships with third-party collaborators; the risk that the FDA could stop permitting Section 503B-registered outsourcing facilities to compound the drug substances in the proprietary formulations Daré intends to bring or brings to market or changes the conditions under which those drug substances may used in compounding or the compounded products may be distributed; the ability of Daré’s outsourcing facility partners to maintain their registration with the FDA under Section 503B; the timing of establishing, and ability to maintain, state-required licensure or registration to enable fulfillment of prescriptions for DARE to PLAY™ Sildenafil Cream and other solutions brought to market via the Section 503B pathway; Daré’s inexperience, as a company, in and lack of infrastructure for commercializing products; the degree of market demand and acceptance for the products Daré brings to market; competitive product launches; greater than expected costs to bring compounded drug products to market and marketing costs; shifts in consumer spending or behavior; Daré’s ability to raise additional capital when and as needed to execute its business strategy and continue as a going concern; Daré’s dependence on grants and other financial awards from governmental entities and a private foundation; limitations on Daré’s ability to raise additional capital through sales of its common stock or other equity securities due to restrictions under SEC and Nasdaq rules and regulations or contractual limitation; Daré’s reliance on third parties to manufacture and conduct clinical trials and preclinical studies of its product candidates and commercialize XACIATO™ (clindamycin phosphate) vaginal gel 2% and future FDA-approved products, if any; the risk that the current regulatory pathway known as the FDA’s 505(b)(2) pathway for drug product approval in the U.S. is not available for a product candidate as Daré anticipates; Daré’s ability to develop, obtain FDA or foreign regulatory approval for, and commercialize its product candidates and to do so on communicated timelines; failure or delay in starting, conducting and completing clinical trials of a product candidate and the inherent uncertainty of outcomes of clinical trials; Daré’s ability to design and conduct successful clinical trials, to enroll a sufficient number of patients, to meet established clinical endpoints, to avoid undesirable side effects and other safety concerns, and to demonstrate sufficient safety and efficacy of its product candidates; Daré’s dependence on third parties to conduct clinical trials and manufacture and supply clinical trial material and commercial product; the risks that positive findings in early clinical and/or nonclinical studies of a product candidate may not be predictive of success in subsequent clinical and/or nonclinical studies of that candidate and that interim data or results from a particular clinical study do not necessarily predict the final results for that study; the risk that the FDA, other regulatory authorities, members of the scientific or medical communities or investors may not accept or agree with Daré’s interpretation of or conclusions regarding data from clinical studies of its product candidates; the risk that development of a product candidate requires more clinical or nonclinical studies than Daré anticipates, or that the duration of a study or number of study subjects must be significantly greater than anticipated; the loss of, or inability to attract, key personnel; product pricing and coverage and reimbursement from third-party payors; Daré’s ability to retain its licensed rights to develop and commercialize a product or product candidate; Daré’s ability to satisfy the monetary obligations and other requirements in connection with its exclusive, in-license agreements covering the critical patents and related intellectual property related to its product and product candidates; Daré’s ability to adequately protect or enforce its, or its licensor’s, intellectual property rights; disputes or other developments concerning Daré’s intellectual property rights; the lack of patent protection for the active ingredients in certain of Daré’s product candidates which could expose its products to competition from other formulations using the same active ingredients; product liability claims; governmental investigations or actions relating to Daré’s products or product candidates or the business activities of Daré, its commercial collaborators or other third parties on which Daré relies; changes in healthcare, pharmaceutical, consumer protection or privacy laws and regulatory policies; increased scrutiny from regulators; global trends toward health care cost containment; the effects of macroeconomic conditions, geopolitical events, and major changes and disruptions in U.S. government policies and operations on Daré’s ability to raise additional capital or on Daré’s operations, financial results and condition, and ability to achieve current plans and objectives; Daré’s ability to maintain compliance with Nasdaq’s continued listing requirements and continue to have its common stock listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market; and cybersecurity incidents or similar events that compromise Daré’s technology systems and/or significantly disrupt Daré’s business or those of third parties on which it relies. Daré’s forward-looking statements are based upon its current expectations and involve assumptions that may never materialize or may prove to be incorrect. All forward-looking statements are expressly qualified in their entirety by these cautionary statements. For a detailed description of Daré’s risks and uncertainties, you are encouraged to review its documents filed with the SEC including Daré’s recent filings on Form 8-K, Form 10-K and Form 10-Q.
