EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn., March 26, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Sanuwave Health, Inc. (the "Company" or "Sanuwave") $(SNWV)$, a leading provider of next-generation FDA-approved wound care products, is pleased to provide its financial results for the three months and full year ended December 31, 2025.
Q4 2025 ended December 31, 2025
-- Revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2025, totaled $13.4
million, an increase of 29.7%, as compared to $10.3 million for the same
period of 2024. This growth is consistent with guidance of $13-14 million
for the quarter.
-- 255 UltraMist$(R)$ systems were sold in Q4 2025 up from 135 in Q4 2024 and
from 155 in Q3 2025.
-- UltraMist(R) consumables revenue increased by 10.6% to $6.5 million in Q4
2025, versus $5.9 million for the same quarter last year. Consumables
revenue represented 48.7% of overall revenues in Q4 2025. UltraMIST
systems and consumables remained the primary revenue growth driver for
the Company and represented approximately 100% of Sanuwave's overall
revenues in Q4 2025.
-- Gross margin as a percentage of revenue amounted to 74.7% for the three
months ended December 31, 2025, versus 77.9% for the same period last
year. Cost of revenues included a $486 thousand write-off of PACE
inventory associated with the sunsetting of that product line. Absent
this charge, gross margin would have been 78.3%.
-- For the three months ended December 31, 2025, operating income totaled
$2.0 million, no change, compared to Q4 2024. Q4 2025 included the
inventory write off of $486 thousand which affected cost of revenues and
a sales tax expense of $479 thousand which increased general and
administrative expenses. Absent these charges, operating income would
have been $3.0 million.
-- Net income for the fourth quarter of 2025 was $7.7 million, driven
predominantly by the change in the fair value of derivative liabilities.
This compares to a net loss of $13.3 million in the fourth quarter of
2024 which was primarily driven by the change in the fair value of
derivative liabilities, valuation adjustments resulting from the share
and warrant exchange, and the extinguishment of debt.
-- Adjusted EBITDA [1] for the three months ended December 31, 2025, was
$4.8 million versus Adjusted EBITDA of $3.7 million for the same period
last year, an improvement of $1.1 million.
Full year 2025 ended December 31, 2025
-- Revenue for the year ended December 31, 2025, totaled $44.1 million, an
increase of 35.0%, as compared to $32.6 million for the same period of
2024. This growth was in line with full year guidance of growth of 35-39%
year on year.
-- 624 UltraMist(R) systems were sold in 2025 up from 374 in 2024.
-- UltraMist(R) consumables revenue increased by 27.4% to $25.5 million
(58.0% of revenues) in 2025, versus $20.1 million for the same period
last year. UltraMIST systems and consumables remained the primary revenue
growth driver and continued to represent over 99% of Sanuwave's overall
revenues in 2025.
-- Gross margin as a percentage of revenue amounted to 77.1% for the year
ended December 31, 2025, versus 75.2% for the same period last year.
-- For the year ended December 31, 2025, operating income totaled $4.9
million, an increase of $1.1 million compared to 2024 as a result of the
Company's continued efforts to drive profitable growth and manage
expenses.
-- Net income for 2025 was $11.8 million, driven predominantly by the change
in the fair value of derivative liabilities, other income, and increased
operating profit. This compares to a net loss of $33.1 million in 2024
which was primarily driven by the change in the fair value of derivative
liabilities.
-- Adjusted EBITDA [1] for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025, was
$13.6 million versus Adjusted EBITDA of $7.2 million for the same period
last year, an improvement of $6.5 million.
"We're pleased to be, once more, announcing an all-time record quarter for Sanuwave on both revenues and adjusted EBITDA, especially during such challenging times in the wound care space," said CEO Morgan Frank. "The effects of the CMS reimbursement cut to skin substitutes and an intensification of the CMS audit environment have been dramatically reshaping a number of sectors of wound care, particularly mobile care. Q4 2025 saw the first major reactions to the new pricing with large numbers of mobile wound care providers exiting the space and/or cutting staff. At the same time, we have seen other existing companies and a great many new ones gearing up to enter. It seems very much to be a 'one tide going out while another tide is coming in' sort of moment for the space and, while such transitions are inevitably choppy, it seems like a lot of this change will ultimately flow our way. The patients and the wounds have not gone away and neither has the need for care. UltraMIST remains a potent solution ready made for the work and business flow of our customers and the needs of those they care for. Significant numbers of large, skilled distributors and resellers who had been focusing on skin subs and allografts have become interested in repping UltraMIST and we have taken advantage of this new option to dramatically increase our functional number of feet on the street. These gains in Q4 2025 were somewhat offset by lower consumables sales resulting from a confluence of some customers going out of business and others reducing patient volumes in response to an aggressive audit environment. CMS appears to have made a determination to focus heavily on medical necessity and value for money in the wound care space and while this has created a bit of a stutter step in the short run, we see it as a trend that should be long term beneficial to us. We remain more convinced than ever of the potential for this product to help transform wound care."
Financial Outlook
The Company forecasts Q1 2026 revenue of $9.6 to $10.3 million (3-10% increase from Q1 2025) and initiates full year 2026 revenue guidance of $51.0-55.0 million (16-25% increase as compared to full year 2025 revenue).

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release includes certain financial measures that are not presented in our financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("U.S. GAAP"). These financial measures are considered "non-GAAP financial measures" and are intended to supplement, and should not be considered as superior to, or a replacement for, financial measures presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
The Company uses Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization ("EBITDA"), Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Gross Margin Percentage and Adjusted Operating Income to assess its operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA is Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization adjusted for the change in fair value of derivatives and any significant non-cash or infrequent charges. Adjusted Gross Margin Percentage is gross margin percentage adjusted for inventory write-off. Adjusted Operating Income is operating income adjusted for inventory write-off, sales tax expense and release of historical accrual. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Gross Margin Percentage and Adjusted Operating Income should not be considered as alternatives to net income (loss), gross margin percentage or operating income, as applicable, as a measure of financial performance or any other performance measure derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and they should not be construed as an inference that the Company's future results will be unaffected by unusual or
infrequent items. These non-GAAP financial measures are presented in a consistent manner for each period, unless otherwise disclosed. The Company uses these measures for the purpose of evaluating its historical and prospective financial performance, as well as its performance relative to competitors. These measures also help the Company to make operational and strategic decisions. The Company believes that providing this information to investors, in addition to U.S. GAAP measures, allows them to see the Company's results through the eyes of management, and to better understand its historical and future financial performance. These non-GAAP financial measures are also frequently used by analysts, investors, and other interested parties to evaluate companies in our industry, when considered alongside other U.S. GAAP measures.
EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Gross Margin Percentage and Adjusted Operating Income have their limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider them in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the Company's results as reported under U.S. GAAP. For example, some of these limitations are that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA:
-- Do not reflect every expenditure, future requirements for capital
expenditures or contractual commitments.
-- Do not reflect all changes in our working capital needs.
-- Do not reflect interest expense, or the amount necessary to service our
outstanding debt.
As presented in the U.S. GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliations section below, the Company's non-GAAP financial measures exclude the impact of certain charges that contribute to our net income (loss), gross margin percentage and operating income, as applicable.
Forward-Looking Statements
This press release may contain "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, such as statements relating to future financial results, production expectations, plans for future business development activities and expectations regarding the impact of changes in tariff rates. Forward-looking statements include all statements that are not statements of historical fact regarding intent, belief or current expectations of the Company, its directors or its officers. Investors are cautioned that any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond the Company's ability to control. Actual results may differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. Among the key risks, assumptions and factors that may affect operating results, performance and financial condition are risks associated with regulatory oversight, the Company's ability to manage its capital resources, competition and the other factors discussed in detail in the Company's periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statement.
