TriSalus Life Sciences Reports Third Quarter 2025 Results and Reaffirms 2025 Revenue Guidance
DENVER--( BUSINESS WIRE)--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 ended September 30, 2025, and provides an operation update.
“TriSalus continued to deliver strong commercial performance in the third quarter, underscoring the growing clinical adoption of our TriNav ® product suite and proprietary PEDD ® platform across a broad range of solid tumor indications,” said Mary Szela, President and CEO of TriSalus. “We are pleased to reaffirm our full-year revenue growth guidance of 50%, reflecting the increasing market penetration of TriNav for liver-directed therapies. We continue to invest in registry and other clinical programs and are committed to building a data-driven case for the expansion of our PEDD technology platform to new embolization applications. With our strategic shift toward partnering development of nelitolimod, we are also reducing our quarterly cash burn even as we extend our platform. Our three PERIO clinical phase 1 dose escalation studies are completed, with clinical study reports under preparation for data release in Q4. We look forward to the balance of 2025 energized by our long-term vision of bringing our PEDD technology to a wider range of patients and improving their clinical outcomes.”
Third Quarter 2025 Operational Highlights
Third Quarter 2025 Financial Results
The non-GAAP measure of adjusted EBITDA is reconciled in the table below as the Company believes it is an important measure of performance. Adjusted EBITDA losses were $5.4 million, compared to losses of $7.2 million for the same period in 2024. Adjusted EBITDA for the period includes approximately $2.1 million of a charge related to closing the clinical studies related to Nelitolimod. Currently, reductions in adjusted EBITDA losses are due to increased sales, reduced research and development expenses and increased stock compensation in 2025.

About TriSalus Life Sciences
TriSalus Life Sciences ® 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™ (PEDD) approach to deliver a range of therapeutics: the TriNav ® 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™ (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.
