DENVER--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 05, 2026--
TriSalus Life Sciences, Inc. (Nasdaq: TLSI) (the "Company"), an oncology company integrating novel delivery technology with standard of care therapies, and its investigational immunotherapeutic to transform treatment for patients with solid tumors, today announces financial results for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2025, and provides an operational update.
"During our fourth quarter and throughout 2025, we continued to deliver strong commercial performance, supported by the growing clinical adoption of our TriNav$(R)$ product suite and proprietary PEDD(R) platform across a broad range of solid tumor indications," said Mary Szela, President and CEO of TriSalus. "We are pleased to have exceeded our 2025 revenue guidance of 50%, delivering 53%, reflecting strong commercial execution and sustained progress on our strategic initiatives, including expansion of the TriNav platform across multiple indications beyond the liver."
"Looking ahead to 2026, we intend to deepen our engagement within the interventional radiology community by expanding our sales and commercial organizations, invest in foundational registry and clinical studies to further demonstrate the value of PEDD in the liver and our new applications, and continue to advance innovative PEDD product launches that enhance and differentiate our embolization toolkit. The $46 million in growth capital raised through our recent public offering, will substantially broaden and accelerate these strategic initiatives and drive support broader adoption of the PEDD platform. Based on our performance and positive outlook for 2026, we are reaffirming our revenue guidance of $60 million to $62 million. We look forward to 2026 confident in the commercial opportunities before us and energized by our long-term vision of bringing our PEDD technology to a wider range of patients and improving clinical outcomes."
Highlights for Fourth Quarter 2025 and Recent Weeks
-- Generated $13.2 million in net sales, a 60% increase year-over-year,
and sequential growth of 14% over the third quarter 2025.
-- Gross margin increased to 86.7% for the quarter ended December 31,
2025, as compared to 85.3% for the quarter ended December 31, 2024.
-- Improved Adjusted EBITDA to a loss of $0.9 million for the quarter
ended December 31, 2025, compared to a loss of $5.7 million for the
quarter ended December 31, 2024.
-- Delivered another strong commercial performance, with expanding use of
TriNav(R) in liver embolization, and continued further development of new
applications for new clinical settings focused on the interventional
radiology call point.
-- Subsequent to the fourth quarter, the Company raised $46 million in
gross proceeds via a public offering to support continued growth.
-- As of December 31, 2025, cash and cash equivalents totaled $20.4
million.
-- Announced the appointment of veteran healthcare investor Michael
Stansky to our Board of Directors in February 2026.
-- Hosted Virtual KOL Event to Discuss the TriNav Infusion System for the
Treatment of Uterine Fibroids November 12, 2025.
-- Hosted Virtual KOL Event to Discuss the TriNav Infusion System for the
Treatment of Symptomatic Thyroid Disease December 15, 2025.
-- Launched the TriNav XP Infusion System. TriNav XP is engineered
specifically for compatibility with larger embolic particles (beads up to
and including 700 <MU>m), is designed with a more flexible distal tip for
improved trackability, is available in both 130 cm and 150 cm lengths,
and is recommended for use in 1.5 mm to 3.5 mm vessels.
Full Year 2025 Financial Results
-- Revenue, all from sales of the TriNav system, was $45.2 million for the
year ended December 31, 2025, an increase of 53% compared to the same
period in 2024. Revenue growth was driven primarily by increased TriNav
unit sales within liver directed applications.
-- Gross profit increased by $12.9 million for the year ended December 31,
2025, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2024, while gross margin
decreased from 86.1% to 84.6% year over year. The increase in gross
profit was due primarily to the increase in TriNav units sold, while the
year-over-year decline in gross margin was primarily driven by lower
manufacturing efficiency associated with newly launched products, which
is a dynamic we expect to improve as production scales and processes
mature.
-- Research and Development (R&D) expenses decreased by $2.7 million for
the year ended December 31, 2025, as compared to the year ended December
31, 2024. The decrease was primarily due to the close-out of clinical
trial expenses related to nelitolimod.
-- Sales and Marketing (S&M) expenses increased by $2.9 million for the
year ended December 31, 2025, as compared to the year ended December 31,
2024. The increase was primarily due to an increase in performance
related compensation driven by the increase in sales during the year
ended December 31, 2025 compared to prior year.
-- General & Administrative (G&A) expenses increased by $3.5 million for
the year ended December 31, 2025, as compared to the year ended December
31, 2024. The increase was primarily due to the acceleration of a
non-cash stock-based compensation award of approximately $1.8 million,
the revision of certain patent-related expenses from research and
development to general and administrative expenses of approximately $0.7
million, and professional services as a result of the timing of various
filing and audit related expenses.
-- Operating losses were $26.9 million, compared to operating losses of
$36.2 million for the same period in the prior year. The decrease was
primarily driven by the increase in revenue, highlighting strong
operating leverage.
-- Net loss attributable to common stockholders was $69.7 million in the
year ended December 31, 2025, compared to $33.2 million for the same
period in the prior year, primarily driven by the conversion of our
preferred stock to common stock during the third quarter of 2025,
resulting in approximately $30.5 million net loss attributable to common
stockholders.
-- Improved Adjusted EBITDA to a loss of $17.2 million for the year ended
December 31, 2025, compared to a loss of $30.0 million for the year ended
December 31, 2024.
-- The basic and diluted loss per share was $1.84, compared to $1.31 for
the same period in 2024. This increase was primarily due to the
conversion of preferred stock to common stock.
2026 Guidance
The Company anticipates 2026 revenues in the range of $60 million to $62 million.

About TriSalus Life Sciences
TriSalus Life Sciences(R) is an oncology focused medical technology company seeking to transform outcomes for patients with solid tumors by integrating its innovative delivery technology with standard-of-care therapies, and with its investigational immunotherapeutic, nelitolimod, a class C Toll-like receptor 9 agonist, for a range of different therapeutic and technology applications. The Company's platform includes devices that utilize a proprietary drug delivery technology and a clinical stage investigational immunotherapy. The Company's three FDA-cleared devices use its proprietary Pressure-Enabled Drug Delivery$(TM)$ (PEDD) approach to deliver a range of therapeutics: the TriNav(R) Infusion System and TriNav Infusion System LV for hepatic arterial infusion of liver tumors and the Pancreatic Retrograde Venous Infusion System for pancreatic tumors. The PEDD technology is a novel delivery approach designed to address the anatomic limitations of arterial infusion for the pancreas. The PEDD approach modulates pressure and flow in a manner that delivers more therapeutic to the tumor and is designed to reduce undesired delivery to normal tissue, bringing the potential to improve patient outcomes. Nelitolimod, the Company's investigational immunotherapeutic candidate, is designed to improve patient outcomes by treating the immunosuppressive environment created by many tumors and which can make current immunotherapies ineffective in the liver and pancreas. Patient data generated during Pressure-Enabled Regional Immuno-Oncology(TM) (PERIO) clinical trials support the hypothesis that nelitolimod delivered via the PEDD technology may have favorable immune effects within the liver and systemically. The target for nelitolimod, TLR9, is expressed across cancer types and the mechanical barriers addressed by the PEDD technology are commonly present as well. The Company is in the final stages of data completion for a number of phase 1 clinical trials and will begin exploring partnership opportunities for development.

Non-GAAP Financial Measure
To supplement the financial results presented in accordance with GAAP, TriSalus has also included in this press release non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA, which excludes from net loss, income tax expense, interest expense, interest income, change in fair value of SEPA, warrant and revenue-base redemption liabilities, change in fair value of contingent earn out liability, stock-based compensation expense and depreciation. These non-GAAP financial measures are not prepared in accordance with GAAP, do not serve as an alternative to GAAP and may be calculated differently than similar non-GAAP financial information disclosed by other companies. TriSalus encourages investors to carefully consider its results under GAAP, as well as its supplemental non-GAAP financial information and the reconciliation between these presentations set forth below, to more fully understand TriSalus' business.
TriSalus believes that the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures provides useful supplemental information to, and facilitates additional analysis by, investors. In particular, TriSalus believes that these non-GAAP financial measures, when considered together with its financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP, can enhance investors' and analysts' ability to meaningfully compare TriSalus' results from period to period, and to identify operating trends in TriSalus' business.
