Overview
-- Full Year Research & Development Revenue of $19.7 Million; Q4 2025
Revenue of $3.8 Million
-- Cash Rose to $15.4 Million at December 31, 2025
DALLAS, March 24, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Spectral AI, Inc. (Nasdaq: MDAI) ("Spectral AI" or the "Company"), an artificial intelligence ("AI") company focused on medical diagnostics for faster and more accurate treatment decisions in wound care, today announced financial results for the fourth quarter ("Q4 2025") and full year ("FY 2025") ended December 31, 2025 and provided an update on its ongoing activities related to the commercialization of its proprietary, AI-driven DeepView$(R)$ System for burn indication.
"2025 was a pivotal year for Spectral AI, highlighted by the submission of our De Novo 510(k) application to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") of our DeepView System for burn indication," said Vincent Capone, Chief Executive Officer of Spectral AI. "We continue to make significant progress along numerous fronts in preparation for the anticipated commercialization of this innovative diagnostic device. The reception of our technology at burn conferences in the U.S., UK, and Europe has been exceptional."
Mr. Capone concluded, "We ended the year in a strong financial position, especially with our cash balance above $15.0 million at year-end, and we continue to manage expenses to ensure that spending aligns with our strategic priorities and commercialization. We are confident that we have the people, processes, and platform in place to prepare for the next exciting phase of our growth."
Additional BARDA Funding
As previously announced, the Company received $31.7 million in funding from the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority ("BARDA") to accelerate and support the development of additional feature aspects for the DeepView System. The Company has committed to provide an additional $9.7 million to the total overall development costs associated with these feature advancements. This immediate, non-dilutive funding was advanced in addition to the $54.9 million of funding committed to date as part of the Company's current contract with BARDA that is valued at up to $150.0 million.
2025 FINANCIAL RESULTS OVERVIEW
All comparisons to Q4 2025 and FY 2025 are to the comparable periods ended December 31, 2024 unless otherwise stated.
Research & Development Revenue
Research & Development revenue for Q4 2025 was $3.8 million compared to $7.6 million, reflecting the anticipated reduction in research direct labor, clinical trial and other reimbursed study costs relative to 2024 as the Company moved closer to completion of the base phase of its contract with BARDA (the "BARDA PBS Contract").
Research & Development Revenue for FY 2025 decreased to $19.7 million from $29.6 million, reflecting the anticipated overall reduction in the Company's reimbursed costs associated with the BARDA PBS Contract during 2025 following the Company's submission of its De Novo application to the FDA.
Gross Margin
Gross margin for Q4 2025 was 39.8% compared to 44.0% due primarily to a lower percentage of reimbursed direct labor as a component of overall revenue from the BARDA PBS Contract.
Gross margin for FY 2025 was 45.4% compared to 44.9%, reflecting a consistent mix of direct labor as a percentage of the total work performed on the BARDA PBS Contract from the prior year.
General & Administrative Expense
General and administrative expenses in Q4 2025 were $4.0 million, down from $4.5 million in Q4 2024 and reflecting lower spending on third party accounting and legal providers.
For FY 2025, general and administrative expenses were $17.5 million, down from $19.9 million reflecting a continued focus on operating efficiencies at the Company.
Net Income/(Loss)
Net income for Q4 2025 was $0.6 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $(7.7) million in Q4 2024, or $(0.41) per diluted share. Net income in Q4 2025 included a $4.0 million gain in the fair value of the Company's warrant liability as compared to a loss of $(5.4) million.
For FY 2025, net loss was $(7.6) million, or $(0.29) per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $(15.3) million, or $(0.85) per diluted share in FY 2024, primarily due to the change in the fair value of the Company's warrant liability, reduced borrowing-related costs of $1.5 million net of amortization of debt discount, and improved operating efficiencies.
Financial Condition
As of December 31, 2025, cash improved to $15.4 million from $5.2 million as of December 31, 2024, reflecting the previously announced debt and equity financings completed during the year, as well as warrant and stock option exercises.
2026 Guidance
The Company is forecasting revenue of approximately $18.5 million for the year ending December 31, 2026, primarily reflecting the continued development of the Company's DeepView System through the BARDA PBS Contract. This guidance does not include any material contributions from the sale of the DeepView System for the burn indication.
