"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

Generated $11.6 million in net sales, a 57% increase year-over-year, and sequential growth of 3% over the second quarter 2025.
Lowered quarterly cash burn by approximately 50% quarter-over-quarter.
Delivered strong commercial performance, with expanding use of TriNav in liver embolization, and continued further development of new applications for new clinical settings focused on the interventional radiology call point.
Simplified the Company’s capital structure through successful completion of an exchange offering of previously issued Series A Preferred stock.
Investigator-published study in the Journal of the Endocrine Society includes results of a retrospective single-center study by Gad et al. which evaluated the safety, feasibility, and early efficacy of Pressure-Enabled Thyroid Artery Embolization (PED-TAE) using the TriNav Infusion System. This novel, minimally invasive technique targets the inferior thyroid arteries to reduce gland size and alleviate symptoms in patients who are not candidates for surgery or conventional therapies. These early results lay the foundation for a broader evaluation of pressure-enabled embolization in the management of benign thyroid disease,"
Initiated a clinical trial to evaluate genicular artery embolization (GAE) as a potential treatment for knee osteoarthritis, a condition affecting more than 30 million adults in the United States. The study aims to assess whether GAE can reduce pain and delay the need for knee replacement surgery.
Third Quarter 2025 Financial Results

Revenue, all from sales of the TriNav system, was $11.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, an increase of 57% compared to the same period in 2024 and 3% sequential growth. Revenue growth was driven primarily by increased TriNav sales within liver directed applications.
Gross margins were 84% in the third quarter, compared to 86% in the same period of 2024. The year-over-year decline was primarily driven by lower manufacturing efficiency associated with newly launched products, a dynamic we continue to expect to improve as production scales and processes mature over the course of the year.
Research and Development (R&D) expenses were approximately $5.2 million, compared to $4.2 million for the same quarter of the prior year. The increase was primarily due to a one-time charge of approximately $2.1 million related to closing of our clinical studies related to nelitolimod, partially offset by the revision of approximately $0.7 million in patent-related costs to general and administrative expenses.
Sales and Marketing (S&M) expenses were approximately $6.8 million in the third quarter, compared to $6.1 million for the same quarter of the prior year. The year-over-year increase was primarily due to an increase in performance related compensation driven by the increase in sales.
General & Administrative (G&A) expenses for the third quarter were approximately $6.7 million, compared to $4.7 million for the same quarter of the prior year. The increase was primarily driven by the acceleration of approximately $1.6 million in non-cash stock-based compensation and the revision of approximately $0.7 million in patent-related expenses from research and development to general and administrative.
Operating losses were $9.0 million, compared to Operating losses of $8.7 million for the same period in the prior year. The increase was primarily driven by a one-time charge related to the close out of our clinical studies along with a one-time acceleration of non-cash stock based compensation related awards.
Net loss attributable to common stockholders was $41.3 million in the third quarter, compared to $3.2 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.
The basic and diluted loss per share was $0.96 for the third quarter, compared to $0.12 for the same period in 2024. This is primarily due to the conversion of preferred stock to common stock.
As of September 30, 2025, cash and cash equivalents totaled $22.7 million providing sufficient runway to reach positive adjusted EBITDA.
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.
