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 announced the filing of its restated interim financial statements for the periods from Q1 2024 through Q2 2025 as well as its restated annual financial statements for 2023 and 2024.
"Completing our restated financial statements is a significant milestone for the Company," said Brandon Poe, CFO of BioStem. "This restatement was the culmination of a comprehensive review of the applicable US GAAP revenue recognition guidance in consultation with our external technical accounting advisors, and best accounts for our distribution agreement with Venture Medical. With this process behind us, we are ready to move forward with our independent audit and subsequent uplist process."
The Company's restated financial statements adjust how it accounts for and reports the bona fide services fees associated with its distribution agreement with Venture Medical. This change impacts both the income statement and the balance sheet.
Previously, bona fide services fees were recorded as a Sales and Marketing expense on the consolidated statements of operations. In the restated consolidated statements of operations, and going forward beginning in the third quarter of 2025, these fees are now classified as a contra revenue, meaning they are reported as a reduction of gross revenue to arrive at net revenue. This change lowers reported revenue and lowers Sales and Marketing expense by the same amount, but does not impact EBITDA, net income, or cash flow. However, because revenue is now reported net, percentage-based metrics such as gross margin and EBITDA margin will look slightly different.
On the balance sheets, the amounts owed by BioStem to Venture related to Bonafide services fees payable were previously shown as a separate current liability. Now, they are netted against Accounts Receivable due from Venture, effectively offsetting the amounts owed between the two companies.
"The underlying strength of our business is unchanged as we continue to deliver clinically validated wound care products to the market. These updated financials continue to demonstrate the resilience of our business model as our industry leading gross margins and disciplined cost structure enable continued profitability, as well as the ability to generate strong cash flows as we scale the business," said Jason Matuszewski, CEO and Chairman of the Board of BioStem. "Restating our financial statements advances our progress toward uplisting and we remain extremely excited about the future ahead for BioStem as we continue to strengthen the financial, operational and clinical foundations of the business."
This restatement remains subject to completion of the independent audit to be conducted by the Company's newly appointed external auditors, KPMG. The Company anticipates that the independent audits for fiscal years 2024 and 2025 will be completed by the end of Q1 2026.
