Second Quarter 2025 Financial Results

In light of the divestiture of the bioprocessing product portfolio in March 2025, all financial results discussed in this release for current and prior periods are for continuing operations only.

Revenue was $13.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, a 14% increase over the prior year period, largely driven by an increase in handheld product and service revenue. OEM and funded partnership revenue was $0.5 million, compared to $0.4 million in the prior year period. The installed base grew 27% year-over-year to 3,336 devices, with 164 devices placed during the second quarter. Recurring revenue represented 36% of total revenues in the quarter.

Gross profit was $6.4 million for the second quarter of 2025, compared to $6.2 million for the corresponding period in the prior year. GAAP gross margin was 49% as compared to 54% for the corresponding prior year period. Adjusted gross profit was $7.3 million for the second quarter of 2025, compared to $6.7 million for the corresponding period in the prior year. Adjusted gross margin was 56%, a decrease of approximately 220 basis points compared to the corresponding prior year period. The decrease in adjusted gross margin percentage was driven by an increase in warranty costs compared to the prior year related to the increasing installed base and specific costs incurred in the second quarter of 2025.

Operating expenses were $21.5 million for the second quarter of 2025, compared to $14.7 million for the corresponding prior year period. This increase was driven by a $6.8 million non-cash charge for the change in fair value of the contingent consideration liability, $1.0 million in facility shutdown and restructuring costs, and the inclusion of operating expenses related to our RedWave Technology acquisition, offset by a decrease in acquisition costs of $2.0 million.

Net loss from continuing operations was $12.9 million for the second quarter of 2025, compared to a net loss from continuing operations of $7.6 million for the corresponding prior year period. Adjusted EBITDA was a loss of $3.9 million for the second quarter of 2025, compared to $3.6 million for the corresponding period in the prior year.

Net loss attributable to common stockholders was $13.3 million for the second quarter of 2025, compared to a net loss of $12.5 million for the corresponding prior year period.

Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities were $118.6 million as of June 30, 2025, with no debt outstanding.

2025 Guidance

908 Devices now expects full year 2025 revenues from continuing operations of $54 million to $56 million, representing 13% to 17% growth compared to 2024 revenue from continuing operations. This compares to its previous expectations of $53 million to $55 million.

Non-GAAP Measures of Financial Performance

To supplement the Company’s financial statements, which are presented on the basis of U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), the following non-GAAP measures of financial performance are included in this release and presented with detailed reconciliations to comparable GAAP financial results in the tables below:

• Adjusted gross profit is defined as gross profit excluding intangible amortization, acquisition and integration costs, restructuring charges (including the costs of severance), and non-cash expenses related to stock-based compensation.
• Adjusted gross margin is defined as adjusted gross profit expressed as a percentage of total revenue.
• Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net loss from continuing operations excluding other income, benefit for income taxes, depreciation, intangible amortization, acquisition and integration costs, restructuring charges (including the costs of severance), non-cash expenses related to stock-based compensation, and costs associated with contingent consideration related to the Company’s acquisitions and for which the conditions for payment have not yet been achieved.

The Company’s non-GAAP financial results presented in this earnings release exclude certain costs that management believes do not have a direct correlation to future business operations, nor do the resulting charges recorded accurately reflect the performance of ongoing operations for the period in which such charges are recorded, nor do the resulting charges recorded accurately reflect the anticipated cash flows of ongoing operations, and as such, excluding these costs allows management to understand and evaluate core operating performance and trends. However, as there are no standardized methods of calculating these non-GAAP financial measures, the Company’s methods may differ from those used by other companies in its industry, and accordingly, the use of these measures may not be directly comparable to similar measures used by others, thus limiting their usefulness for purposes of comparison. Furthermore, these non-GAAP measures have certain limitations since they do not include the impact of certain expenses and cash flows that are reflected in the Company’s GAAP financial results. Accordingly, when analyzing the Company’s operating performance and guidance, investors should not consider non-GAAP measures in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. Rather, the Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures, when viewed in addition to and not in lieu of reported GAAP financial results, provide investors with additional meaningful information to assess financial performance and trends, enable comparison of financial results between periods, and allow for greater transparency with respect to key metrics utilized internally in analyzing and operating the Company’s business.
