– Completes IPO, Expands Patent Portfolio, and Strengthens Board Independence –
TUCSON, Ariz., Nov. 14, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Picard Medical, Inc. (NYSE American: PMI) (“Picard” or the “Company”), parent company of SynCardia Systems LLC, maker of the world’s first total artificial heart approved by both the U.S. FDA and Health Canada, today announced financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025.
Patrick NJ Schnegelsberg, Chief Executive Officer of Picard Medical, Inc., commented, “The third quarter marked a pivotal moment for the company with the successful completion of its initial public offering in September. The IPO strengthened the balance sheet by retiring convertible debt, providing new capital to accelerate research, development, and commercial expansion across SynCardia’s life-saving artificial heart platform.”
Third Quarter and Recent Company Highlights
- IPO Completed: On September 2nd, Picard completed its IPO of common stock on the NYSE American (NYSE: PMI), raising approximately $19.5 million in gross proceeds following full exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option.
- Board Strengthened with Two Independent Appointments: On September 10th, Picard appointed independent directors Sam Van and George Ye to its Board of Directors. Mr. Van brings extensive capital-markets experience, while Mr. Ye adds deep leadership expertise in the global medical-device sector. Both appointments followed the Company’s initial public offering.
- Next-Generation “Emperor” Patent Granted: On September 22nd, Picard strengthened its intellectual-property portfolio with the issuance of U.S. Patent No. 12,383,722 B2, covering systems and methods for its next-generation fully implantable SynCardia Total Artificial Heart (the “Emperor”). The patent expands protection for advanced pump and control architectures designed to enhance patient mobility, building on prior U.S. Patents No. 11,918,798 B2 and No. 12,121,711 B2. The Company now holds 34 issued U.S. patent claims and China Patent No. 115279450 B, extending international protection.
Mr. Schnegelsberg added, “In the third quarter, we continued to secure additional patent protection, underscoring our commitment to the life-saving technology around our SynCardia Total Artificial Heart, or STAH, the most widely used and extensively studied artificial heart in the world. We also welcomed Sam Van and George Ye to our board; both of whom have deep leadership experience in complementary areas to advise the company in its next stage as a public company.”
Strong Third Quarter Driven by IPO Milestone and Revenue Growth
Picard Medical completed its initial public offering (IPO) on September 2, 2025, raising approximately $19.5 million in gross proceeds ($15.5 million, net, after the underwriters of the offering exercised an overallotment option).
Revenue Growth and Improved Gross Margin
Third quarter revenue reached $1.19 million, a 35 percent increase from the third quarter of 2024, reflecting higher U.S. product sales and a steady increase in driver rentals. Cost of revenue declined 15 percent year-over-year, reducing the gross loss by 81 percent to $0.13 million.
Operating expenses were $3.36 million, down 11 percent, driven by lower selling, general and administrative expenses. As a result, operating loss narrowed to $3.36 million, compared to $3.77 million in the third quarter of 2024.
Year-to-Date Performance for the Nine Months Ending September 30, 2025
For the nine-month period ending September 30, 2025, revenue totaled $3.93 million, up 11 percent from 2024. Operating loss was $10.3 million, largely consistent with 2024 levels for the same period, as disciplined cost control offset higher materials and production costs. Net loss of $22.7 million included non-cash charges of $12.4 million related to the revaluation of derivative liabilities associated with convertible debt conversion at the time of the IPO.
